Chapter 17：How’s The Feel?

When Lin Wu returned home, his mother was busy boiling the soup and didn't ask him anything. She took the ingredients he bought and entered the kitchen.

His father, Lin Jianbang, had also returned from school. He was currently sitting on the sofa and looking at his lesson plan.

Seeing that Lin Wu had returned, his father wiped his glasses and educated him just like before. "Hurry up and find a job. If not, just go to my school and teach some lessons. You are hanging around doing nothing every day, how would there be any ladies willing to follow you?"

When he was halfway through his habitual speech, he finally remembered that his son had brought a lady back.

"Father, you have nothing to say now, right? If I go and teach at school, how would I meet any beautiful ladies? You can't possibly tell me to find a high school student as my future wife, right?

Lin Wu laughed and rebutted. He then asked, "Where is Li Luyao?"

"Your little aunt brought her to tour your bedroom," His father spoke. After that, he glared at Lin Wu again. "I initially planned to introduce you to a lady who has just graduated. She's also quite elegant looking."

Lin Wu mumbled his way through, and he also couldn't be bothered to get in on the action with the two females. He decided to sit on the sofa and peel an orange to eat.

His father glanced at him, suddenly put the lesson plan down, and asked, "Oh yes, tomorrow is Monday, are you free?"

"Why?" Lin Wu vigilantly asked.

He knew from the moment he heard this that his father was planning to make him do something he wouldn't like.

As expected, his father continued, "I need to visit another part of the country for the funeral service of an old friend. I have two lessons on Monday, so help me to stand-in for them."

Lin Wu was astonished. "Why are you looking for me? There are so many teachers in your school. Can't you just change schedules with them?"

"Why should I trouble others for nothing?"

His father continued, "It will be fine if you just take my lesson plan and conduct the lessons. To a university student like you, the material of third-year high-school students shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Lin Wu involuntarily rolled his eyes. He chewed on his orange as he spoke, "All the knowledge I learned in high school has been given back. If you ask me to take the college examination now, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to score 300 points. Now, wouldn't you be wanting me to misguide students if you ask me to teach them?"

"Or you can participate in the funeral service for me." His father glared at him.

"Eh…"

Recently, Lin Wu was very sensitive to ghosts. He could only cough. "I better go and teach the students."

"This is the lesson plan, and these two pages are the content of the two lessons. Don't lose it." His father passed the lesson plan to Lin Wu.

"Don't worry." Lin Wu glanced at the chemical formula on the lesson plan and laughed. "Oh ya dad, are there any beautiful girls in your class?"

"Didn't you already bring a lady back? What are you planning?" His father's face turned black, and he warned, "if you dare to act like a hooligan in my class, I'll make sure you kneel until your legs break when I return!"

"Cough, I'm only joking."

Lin Wu laughed dryly. He stood up and walked toward his bedroom. "I'm going to take a look at your future daughter-in-law."

After walking into his bedroom, Lin Wu saw that his little aunt He Bi and Li Luyao were both sitting at the bedside. His old photo albums from his childhood were spread on their legs.

When He Bi saw Lin Wu walking in, she involuntarily glanced at his leg and asked in a mocking tone, "Didn't you sprain your leg?"

"Yes, it's still painful now." Lin Wu intentionally frowned as he nodded. He then asked, "Doctor He, do you want to give me a massage to improve my blood circulation and push away the extravasated blood?"

"I'm a dentist, not a doctor." He Bi cast an annoyed glance at him.

"In that case, Luyao, how about massaging my feet for me?" Lin Wu glanced at Li Luyao and quietly gave her a look.

Li Luyao naturally knew that he didn't sprain his leg. That was only an excuse to make He Bi go down. She knew that he had something to say; hence, she nodded. "Alright."

He Bi couldn't help but stare at Li Luyao in astonishment. She involuntarily asked, "What? Luyao, you are really helping him to massage his feet?"

From her point of view, it was already incredible that a fair-skin and rich beauty like Li Luyao was willing to go on a blind date with Lin Wu. Moreover, Li Luyao was even willing to come to Lin Wu's house as a guest, surprising He Bi. And now, Li Luyao, a young mistress who probably had never worked before in her life, was willing to massage Lin Wu?

"Why not? Alright, you can go out for now." Lin Wu smiled and made a gesture of inviting He Bi out.

"Why must I go out when she is massaging you?" He Bi completely didn't wish to miss out on this good show.

Lin Wu rolled his eyes. "Your watts is too high, you being the third bulb will be too bright."

"..."

He Bi's face turned black. Li Luyao also spoke in a somewhat helpless manner, "Sis He Bi, if you are here, I'll be a little shy. Why don't you go to the living room and chat with uncle first?"

"Alright then…" Li Luyao had spoken, so it wasn't too good if He Bi still wanted to remain here. She could only stand up and cast another glare at Lin Wu before walking out of the room.

Lin Wu walked with He Bi to the door and said while smiling. "If you heard any strange noises, please don't suspect us. It will be exactly what you are thinking of."

"You…"

"Thud!"

Lin Wu directly closed the door.

After locking it, Lin Wu walked to the bedside and sat down beside Li Luyao. He lazily leaned against the bed and spoke in a loud voice, "Alright, you can start to massage now."

Li Luyao started slightly, did he really want her to massage him?

Lin Wu made a beckoning gesture, hinting her to lean over.

After hesitating for a while, she then slightly bent her waist and leaned over, moving her ear closer to his mouth.

"He Bi is still eavesdropping outside the door, speak softer." After Lin Wu whispered this beside her ear, he then asked, "Did you manage to get the household register?"

"Mn, I've already placed it in my bag."

Li Luyao nodded lightly and took the bag she placed beside her, opening it. The household register was quietly stored within.

"We will go and do the registration in the afternoon." Lin Wu nodded. He then continued softly, "However, I still have to make sure of this. Are you certain you want to marry me? Do your family members know about this?"

Li Luyao shook her head. "I'm afraid my family wouldn't agree, so I didn't tell them. Now that things have come to this, do I still have any other choice? I naturally can only marry you."

Lin Wu muttered to himself for a while before asking again, "I thought your house was haunted? Since I'm alive now, how will you settle this matter?"

"My house only got haunted by a malicious ghost a few months later. During these months, I will properly investigate it and take precautions in advance," Li Luyao bit her lips and spoke.

"You still don't know the reason?" Lin Wu involuntarily frowned.

"I already have some clues, and I will make sure to uncover the truth this time," replied Li Luyao hurriedly.

"What if you failed to do so?" Lin Wu furrowed his brows. "If your family is being targeted by a malicious ghost, the current me is still a living human and I wouldn't dare to help you deal with it."

"Then, what should I do?"

Li Luyao involuntarily bit her lips, feeling worried in her heart.

What if Lin Wu regretted this because he was worried that he would be targeted by the malicious ghost?

She couldn't help but stretch out her dainty hands and hold his hands. She leaned in and pleaded, "If not, after we get married and before the haunting begins, I'll persuade my family to go overseas for a holiday to avoid it, how about that?"

"That won't do." Lin Wu shook his head slightly and spoke in a low voice, "Since you are a reincarnator and will also be married to me then, this means that the future might have changed. Who knows whether the haunting would begin in advance. Can you be sure of the time? In addition, are you confident that it can be avoided just by your family going overseas?"

"You...you wouldn't be planning on reneging your promise, right?" Li Luyao couldn't help but feel nervous. She hurriedly tightened her hold on Lin Wu's hands.

"Don't worry, you saved my life after all. I won't sit aside and watch while remaining indifferent."

Lin Wu patted the back of Li Luyao's hand. It was rare for him to have such an open opportunity to take advantage of her, so he didn't release her hands. Holding on to her dainty hands, he continued to speak, "However, it's better if you make things clear to your family in advance. Tell them to pay more attention when they are doing things recently."

Li Luyao knew that this fellow was taking advantage of her, but she couldn't care less. She frowned and spoke, "But, I'm not too sure about the reason why my family would cause a malicious ghost to target them. What should they take note of and pay more attention to?"

Lin Wu pondered for a while and spoke, "Go and meet a ghost with me then."

"Huh?" Li Luyao started. Why did he suddenly start cursing her?

"I mean, let's meet a ghost together. The ghost is currently downstairs," Lin Wu spoke in a low voice beside her ear.

The ear of this lass was quite beautiful, and he felt a little impulse to kiss it. However, it would be too impudent to do this to his savior, right? Hence, he managed to restrain himself.

"There's a ghost downstairs?" Li Luyao started. She then asked, "You said you met a friend earlier, are you referring to the ghost?"

"Aiya, you are really too clever!"

Lin Wu involuntarily praised her. It was as though he couldn't help himself; he stretched out his hand and patted Li Luyao's fair thigh. He even rested his hand there for a second before removing it.

"..." Li Luyao silently looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu felt a little embarrassed at being stared this way. He also knew that his earlier intention to take advantage of her was just too obvious. He involuntarily laughed dryly. "Cough, I apologize. It's a little hard for me to restrain myself."

Li Luyao's lips twitched and asked, "How's the feel of it?"

"Very good...cough, I didn't feel anything."
