18 Hm... What to Do...

Silence... what greeted Shuhang was nothing but silence after his little proclamation. (Hmm...? Oi, where are the retorts I was expecting? They... know that I'm joking right? So why does Sixteen look like she's contemplating on the greatest question in life? And Soft Feather... why aren't you saying anything? I know that you of all people knew that I was just teasing you girls!)

As for his buddy Lin Tubo and the rest of the bikers... they just felt confused! Seeing that the girls weren't denying his claims, they knew in their hearts that they should be extremely jealous of Tubo's pal and hate this gigolo whose got both feet on two boats. For some reason however.... they just can't seem to hate him! Just something about Shuhang that doesn't allow it! Weird... this is too weird! Is it charisma?... or maybe charm? Whatever it is, they hated their parents for not giving birth to them with such things.

What Shuhang seem to forget though... is the fact that Soft Feather's little body guard that's just hovering around at the edge of the girls' sense had heard everything! If only Shuhang knew what sort of things his teasing today would get him into... alas, there is no medicine for regrets and what's done is done.

---cough---

"Say, brother Bo, I was wondering if your gramps know anything about a Ghost Lamp Temple around Luo Xin street? I figured with their age, they might know something?" quickly asked Shuhang to change the awkward atmosphere. Just like magic, everyone woke up and no longer thought about Shuhang's proclamation from before. Or maybe they just wanted to escape reality? Who knows...

"Huh? Ghost Lamp Temple? Never heard of it actually, but maybe my grandfather might know something? He is a native of J-City's Luo Xin street after all." replied Lin Tubo as recalled information of grandfather. Shuhang who knew this already wasn't surprised or anything but played along anyways.

After some more back and forth pleasantries, his friend Lin Tubo decided to give the trio a ride to his grandpa's house. The only problem they had... or rather, problem the girls had... they weren't willing to sit with anyone else but Shuhang as the bikes only had 2 seats. Having no other choice, one of the bikes were lent to Shuhang's party.

After stealthily modifying the bike with patchwork Talisman, Shuhang had increased the space in the seat without letting any of the mortals know. But seriously though... how is this situation even a thing right now? With her smaller body frame, Sixteen is riding in front, with Shuhang in the middle, and Soft Feather in back. Oh boy... is that Soft Feather's meat buns pressing themselves on him? Damn, hope his 'little brother' doesn't react right now... at least not with Sixteen currently seated so closely in front of him.

After sometimes, the group made it to Lin Tubo's place and the trio are currently conversing with Tubo's grandfather on what he knows about the Luo Xin street Ghost Lamp Temple. For some reason though, this kind old man just kept on teasing and jabbing Shuhang about the two beauties with him. Grandpa... please just tell us your story! Don't mind me having flowers on both arms! What is it with old people and their likes for gossiping!?
