Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 24 - : Stars and Moon

"Dou Dou~, are you still here?"

Jiang Wenxin cautiously asked, sitting on the sofa.

Tao Guangsha, sitting by her side, also looked around nervously.

At that moment, a gust of wind arose out of nowhere inside the house, slightly lifting the hems of their clothes.

The couple's faces immediately lit up with excited smiles upon seeing this.

"Dou Dou is so amazing."

Tao Guangsha praised, then turned his gaze to the television in front of them.

At that time, Tom and Jerry was playing on the TV, but this cartoon had been on for several days, so Tao Guangsha said, "Dou Dou, do you want Daddy to change to another cartoon for you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you can't hear Dou Dou speak." Jiang Wenxin said.

Hearing this, Tao Guangsha sighed, then seemed to remember something; he got up, went into the room, and quickly came out with two pieces of paper.

Jiang Wenxin was curious about what he was going to do but saw Tao Guangsha place the two pieces of paper on the table and then write 'change the channel' and 'don't change the channel' on them respectively.

"This character is 'change', and this one is 'channel'..."

Although he couldn't see his daughter, Tao Guangsha was still teaching her seriously.

Then he placed the two pieces of paper, one on each end of the coffee table.

"If you want to change the channel, blow the paper on the left side; if you don't, then blow the paper on the right side..."

He had just finished speaking when a light breeze blew the paper on the left into the air, and then it fluttered down gracefully.

"Wow, husband, you are really clever."

Jiang Wenxin said somewhat excitedly upon witnessing this.

Although this method was simple, it was quite effective. In this way, they could communicate with Dou Dou in a basic manner.

Another Yin Wind suddenly arose from nowhere, circling around the couple, and they seemed to hear Dou Dou's cheerful laughter...

Tao Guangsha changed the cartoon for Dou Dou and set down the remote control.

Then he turned to ask Jiang Wenxin, "Does Mr. Shen mean to say that as long as Dou Dou can control her abilities well, she can meet with us at any time from now on?"

"Yes, you've asked several times already." Jiang Wenxin said helplessly.

He had asked her the same question at least ten times that day.

"Then, can Dou Dou still live with us in the future?" Tao Guangsha asked, his eyes full of hope.

Hearing this, Jiang Wenxin looked at him but fell into silence.

Because she couldn't give an answer, this question could only be asked of Shen Siyuan.

The reason they wanted to invite him to dinner tonight was actually also due to this.

They had lost all hope, but now they suddenly saw a glimmer of light, so how could they bear to let go?

After a long while, Jiang Wenxin said softly, "Dou Dou is now Mr. Shen's protector; everything she has is given by Mr. Shen. Without him, Dou Dou would only be an ordinary child."

Actually, Tao Guangsha was clear about this in his heart, but he just couldn't help asking, wanting Jiang Wenxin to give him a different answer.

The two fell into a long silence again, and just then, another Yin Wind swept through the house, gently lifting their hair.

The two, who had been indifferent, couldn't help but show smiles on their faces.

"Have you told Mr. Shen about your cousin's matter?"

"I have. It's set for next Wednesday."

"That's good. I hope those two can make it, and then we'll all be one family."

"Mhm..."

Shen Siyuan, carrying the things he had bought from the supermarket, slowly walked into the community.

Arriving downstairs at his building, he unconsciously glanced toward the position where Lu Guanchang always stayed, but did not see Old Man Lu. It seems he still hadn't found his daughter and ex-wife.

It's been so long without contact, and now not a bit of news in a whole day; Shen Siyuan couldn't understand Lu Guanchang's thoughts. Back then, it was he who abandoned his wife and daughter, and now that they're gone, he still couldn't let go, putting on this act of deep affection?

Perhaps it's not about being unable to let go, but rather the heart unwilling to concede.

Shen Siyuan made the guess in his mind, then entered the building and took the elevator.

When he came out of the elevator, he walked towards his own room.

Shen Siyuan lived in an apartment where each floor was arranged in the shape of the character "回", with the elevator in the middle and apartments on all four sides.

There were four units on each side, so there were sixteen units per floor, and the residents here were mostly tenants of all kinds.

However, the property management of the complex was quite good, whether it was sanitation, security, or public facilities, they were all well maintained.

Just as Shen Siyuan was about to open his door and enter his apartment, he suddenly turned his head to look at the corner diagonally opposite.

"Stop hiding, I've seen you, come out."

But there was no response, nor did anyone come out; the entire hallway fell silent, and the motion-sensor light turned off as well.

Just as Shen Siyuan was growing impatient and prepared to enter his home again, a shadow appeared at the end of the hallway.

Its appearance failed to trigger the motion-sensor light to turn on.

"Were you the one from last night?"

Shen Siyuan reached out to open the door, and the hallway's motion-sensor light turned on once more.

Only then did he notice that the person standing at the end of the hallway was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, slender, with a ponytail, wearing a white T-shirt with blue edges and blue shorts. This was the unique elementary school uniform of Bin Hai, which Shen Siyuan often saw on his way to and from work.

The girl looked wary, watching Shen Siyuan from a distance, slightly angled as if ready to run away.

Seeing Shen Siyuan asking her, she didn't respond but just nodded slightly. If it weren't for Shen Siyuan's continued observation, one might not have even noticed her gesture.

"Her name is Dou Dou. She moves so fast, and yet you were able to keep up with her," Shen Siyuan said again.

It turns out the girl followed Dou Dou back last night. This little thing, oblivious, had no idea she was being tracked.

However, the girl was also very cautious and had not revealed herself until Shen Siyuan, coming out of the bathroom after a shower, caught a glimpse of her unintentionally.

"Do you want to come in and sit?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Shen Siyuan walked into the room, but the door was not closed.

The girl hesitated upon seeing this, then took a light step forward, her body drifting swiftly, almost instantly reaching the doorway.

She peeked inside the room, saw Shen Siyuan put down his bag and was drinking water from a cup. She hesitated for a moment before walking in.

She stood at the doorway, shyly watching Shen Siyuan, hesitated for a while before finally speaking: "Hello, Uncle."

"Call me Brother. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person," Shen Siyuan put down the cup in his hand.

"Hello, Brother."

The girl obediently called out again as instructed.

"What's your name, and how old are you this year?" Shen Siyuan asked again.

"Yin Xingyue, I'm thirteen years old."

"Thirteen? Then you should be in the first year of junior high," Shen Siyuan said.

Actually, he knew she would still be in elementary school from her uniform, so this was said deliberately.

As expected, right after Shen Siyuan's words fell, the girl immediately said: "I'm just in sixth grade."

"So it's like that. At such a young age, how did you die? Was there an accident?" Shen Siyuan asked gently.

As he walked towards her, the girl immediately took a few steps back, almost shrinking into the wall.

But Shen Siyuan just passed by her and simply closed the door.

The moment the door shut, the girl seemed to be frightened, passing through the wall and disappearing.

After a while, she cautiously reappeared, looking down, silent, as if she had made a mistake.

"Are you afraid of closed doors?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Yin Xingyue once again nodded gently.

"Can you tell me why?" Shen Siyuan asked softly.

The girl lifted her head and stood at the door, watching Shen Siyuan from a distance.

Shen Siyuan didn't beckon her to come in; the girl was quite guarded, and standing at the door probably made her feel safer.
