Chapter 524: Chapter 527 Promise this thing....._1

All eyes were suddenly focused on Yang Gang.

Yang Gang coughed dryly, waving his index finger mysteriously, "A ghost!"

"A... a ghost?!" Yang Fei’s face changed dramatically. If there was one thing this gal feared most, it was anything supernatural. It was said that whenever Yang Fei heard a ghost story as a child, she would be scared to tears.

"Yes, commonly referred to as a ’ghost’!" Yang Gang said severely.

The color drained from Yang Fei’s face as she clung tightly to Gu Xiaorou’s hand.

"Hey, Gang, don’t exaggerate and scare others, okay?" Gu Xiaorou steeled herself to say. To be honest, hearing Yang Gang say that gave her quite a fright.

At that moment, Xiao Haotian put a hand to his chin in thought. "A female ghost, huh? Hmm... though it’s unlikely, it can’t be rejected outright. That woman’s appearance was too strange. And, when I was young, my grandmother used to say a beautiful young woman had committed suicide by jumping off this island into the sea. Since then, there have been rumors on Crow Feather Island about the female ghost wandering at night. Oh, by the way, Sister Xiaoxi, you should remember this story, right?"

Su Xiaoxi nodded. "Yes, my grandma did indeed tell this story."

It seemed as if something came to her mind, and Su Xiaoxi’s tone suddenly became sad.

"Xiaoxi, what’s wrong?" Zhang Miao quickly asked.

Collecting her emotions, Su Xiaoxi attempted a bitter smile, "It’s nothing. I just remembered that my dear grandmother from the Xiao family has already passed away. It saddens me a little."

Xiao Haotian looked awkward and didn’t know what to say.

"Su Xia... oh, sister-in-law, does that mean there are real ghosts on this island?" Yang Fei anxiously asked.

Su Xiaoxi chuckled, "Probably.".

Yang Fei turned around and grabbed Yang Gang’s hand. "Gang, can we leave?"

Su Xiaoxi gasped, "I was just joking. My grandma’s story was just a traditional ghost story. Not a single inhabitant on this island has reported seeing the so-called female ghost, not in hundreds of years."

Phew~

Yang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, gradually loosening her grip on Yang Gang’s hand.

Thereafter, they were led by Xiao Haotian to a standalone villa.

The luxurious villa was perched on the edge of a cliff. All decor, both interior and exterior, was nothing short of opulent.

By the time they arrived at the villa, night had descended.

The night sky above the Pacific Ocean was clear, adorned with countless stars, and the moon hung like a disc in the sky.

Zhang Miao observed the sprawling villa courtyard and gave a faint smile, "Seems like we’re not exactly welcome. We’ve been banished to this remote villa. They clearly don’t want to see us."

Xiao Haotian appeared somewhat embarrassed, "Not exactly. This villa is my other property, very remote, yes, but it is a great location. From here, you can see the whole of Crow Feather Island. Plus, there’s a natural open-air hot spring behind the villa..."

"Open-air hot springs? That’s too dangerous. We’d absolutely be spied on," Yang Fei immediately interjected.

Again, all eyes were on Yang Gang.

Young Master Yang ignored it while directly looking at Xiao Haotian, "Master Xiao, Peeping is not right; I hope you get rid of this habit."

Pfft~

Everyone collectively gasped.

That jerk’s skin was far thicker than they’d estimated..

"Cough, in any case, for tonight, everyone will stay here. I know you all don’t like to be attended to, so I’ve already sent all the servants away. The villa’s kitchen is fully stocked, so please feel free to cook whatever you like. I’ll take my leave first."

As soon as Xiao Haotian finished speaking, he left.

"An open-air hot spring, huh. I’ve been wanting to try one for a long time." Zhang Miao seemed quite expectant.

"Sister Miao, you’re not seriously thinking of using the hot spring, right? There’s a per-vert around here, remember?" Gu Xiaorou quickly reminded.

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes: "Xiaorou, is it right to talk about your close friend’s fiancé like that?"

"No, I didn’t mean that.." Gu Xiaorou was very embarrassed.

"Okay, if you guys don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself." Zhang Miao said.

"I’m going too. After tossing around all day, I’m already sweaty." Su Xiaoxi said.

Zhang Miao glanced at Su Xiaoxi: "Hmm, you’re sweating profusely under your clothes."

Yang Gang couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, earning himself angry glares from Yang Fei and Gu Xiaorou.

Su Xiaoxi was embarrassed: "Miao Miao, don’t use such a vulgar term!"

"How is ’sweating profusely’ vulgar? Only the impure would think that way." Zhang Miao laughed.

Su Xiaoxi couldn’t hold on anymore: "Miao Miao, let’s just go and shower."

After taking a couple of steps, Su Xiaoxi stopped and looked at Yang Fei and Gu Xiaorou: "Are you guys sure you won’t soak in the hot springs?"

"No, we’ll keep an eye on Yang Gang for you, we won’t let him peep at you. So, you go enjoy the hot springs." Gu Xiaorou said.

"Oh, I wouldn’t mind if Gang was peeping." Zhang Miao turned her head and asked Su Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, would you mind?"

"Of course, isn’t that obvious!"

"Tsk, stingy."

----

After Su Xiaoxi and Zhang Miao left, Yang Gang sat in the villa yard with Gu Xiaorou and Yang Fei, stargazing.

"Hmm.. this quiet night is really good for ghost stories." Yang Gang started: "I just thought of a ghost story. It’s scary at the beginning, funny in the middle, and sad at the end. Once upon a time, there was a ghost.."

Yang Fei turned pale, looked around anxiously, and ultimately didn’t overcome her fear: "I, I’m going to the hot springs!"

In the yard, only Yang Gang and Gu Xiaorou were left.

"That girl really is a scaredy-cat. I didn’t even finish my ghost story." Yang Gang coughed twice and continued: "Once upon a time, there was a ghost that farted and died. Hahaha."

Gu Xiaorou twitched her lips: "Like a fool."

Yang Gang turned his head to look at Gu Xiaorou and chuckled: "Xiaorou, the light bulb has left, so, in this beautiful scenery, we.."

But Gu Xiaorou turned her head away and didn’t say a word.

"What’s wrong? You’ve been daydreaming since a while ago." Yang Gang said.

Gu Xiaorou was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Gang, let’s end this illegitimate relationship."

"What happened? Did Su Xiaoxi’s cursing ability scare you?"

Gu Xiaorou shook her head: "No. I just feel extremely guilty towards Sister Xiaoxi. She’s been through so much sadness, we can’t hurt her anymore."

Yang Gang sat on the bench, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep puff, then looked up at the sky full of stars, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Would you marry another man?" Yang Gang asked indifferently.

"If I’m fortunate enough to meet The Chosen One."

"Really?" Yang Gang took another puff and said lightly: "But you said you would wait for me to understand my own feelings."

Gu Xiaorou was silent.

Yang Gang gave a bitter smile: "Promises can’t be trusted after all. But I’m not one to talk, since I’ve broken a promise too. I once swore to Su Xiaoxi: I would love her forever, and only her in my heart. But I broke that promise. Somewhere along the way, another girl entered my heart. She’s like an angel, always by my side. When I’m sad, she’s sad with me. When I’m happy, she’s happy with me. I never thought about how I felt about her, only to realize when I snapped back to reality how important she’s become to me. I’m not good with feelings, I don’t even know if this is dependency or love? But when she said she was leaving, my chest hurt so bad.."

Before he could finish, Yang Gang’s mouth was covered by sweet lips, smooth and tender, like jelly.
