Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 63 - 64: Feet Dangling in the Air

As Xiao Qi spoke, he leaned back again and stretched his neck.

Su Nian: "Have you encountered anything unusual recently?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "My job has always been stable. I’m a homebody, so I don’t like to go out after work. I usually just stay home."

[That doesn’t sound particularly unusual.]

[Maybe he’s just too focused on his work.]

[Yeah, a lot of people work at a computer desk these days. A sore neck is perfectly normal.]

Xiao Qi chuckled, not paying it much mind. "I work in food service, so I’m basically on my feet all day. I rarely have to look down."

[Maybe his living environment is bad? Like his bed or something is low quality?]

"I suspected that at first, too. I even changed my mattress and everything, but it didn’t help."

"Besides, the location of this apartment I’m renting is great, but the landlord has a rule: I can’t move anything in the room. Otherwise, I think changing the bed might have helped. The bed frame is really hard!"

His words left the audience a little confused.

[A great location?]

[If the location is so good, the decor shouldn’t look like this.]

[And it’s always so noisy. I think I can hear people arguing.]

Seeing this, Xiao Qi explained, "I actually live in an urban village. The location is great, but the conditions are a bit lacking in every other respect. But the rent is cheap, and it’s close to my job. You probably don’t know how hard it is for someone who just started working to find a place like this in a city like this."

Hearing this, the netizens started to agree with him.

[I lived in a basement right after I graduated.]

[Me too. My neck hurt back then, my whole body ached. But I’m past that now.]

[But I think you should still be careful. The security in places like that is bad, it can be chaotic.]

Xiao Qi sounded helpless about it. "I know the security isn’t great, but there’s nothing I can do. I really can’t afford better. Besides, I don’t spend much time in this apartment. I don’t come back for lunch, and I get home pretty late from work every day. After I get back, I just play some games, watch a stream for a bit, and then go to bed."

Based on his description, the most likely cause of his sore neck was indeed the poor living conditions, like the hard bed frame.

But as Su Nian looked at his bed, she had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right.

’The mattress is already so thick. How could it still be causing his neck pain?’

’And his face... it faintly exudes an aura of lonely resentment. That’s something that only appears when you share a room with a ghost.’

’But according to him, he doesn’t like to go out, he sees few people, and his job is stable.’

Su Nian could tell he was speaking the truth, so where exactly was the problem?

Su Nian frowned slightly in thought, her fingers beginning to perform calculations below the camera’s view.

While Su Nian was divining, Xiao Qi enthusiastically started giving everyone a tour of his small home.

Xiao Qi flipped his camera around so it was no longer pointed at him.

"My place is pretty small, just one room and a bathroom. I spend a lot of time at the restaurant and not much time at home."

"And this desk—I even put a small pot of flowers on it. They smell great."

It was a simple wooden desk, looking a bit like a discarded school desk, with visible repair marks on its legs.

What was most eye-catching was the small wooden bed, covered with a thick mattress and bedding.

[How could he still feel tired with a bed that thick?]

[Xiao Qi is quite the romantic. Those flowers are so pink and delicate.]

[I don’t know why, but I’m getting a creepy vibe.]

The walls were visibly yellowed with age, but they had been tidied up and were spotless.

As he spoke, Xiao Qi pulled out a stool, sat down, and turned on his old, beat-up computer.

"And this computer, my sister gave it to me. It’s several years old but still works. I can even play some simple games on it."

The lighting gave off a faint, warm feeling, which didn’t seem to have any connection to the word "creepy."

Just then, a light breeze drifted by, and Xiao Qi unconsciously rubbed his neck again.

When Su Nian opened her eyes, she saw something hazy and indistinct floating in the air.

"Why are you rubbing your neck?"

Su Nian’s gaze was sharp as she stared intently at the space behind him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Qi, who had been in the middle of talking about his game, was taken aback. As he looked up, another light breeze blew past, and he instinctively rubbed his neck again.

"It just... suddenly felt a little sore..."

Su Nian composed herself slightly, slowly formed a seal with her hands, and then placed them before her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the screen still showed the same familiar little room. But now, a distorted scene appeared before her.

A pair of feet, exuding a bizarre aura, was swaying lazily in the air.

Then, Su Nian watched as the pair of feet, gently pushed by the breeze, slowly began to tap against Xiao Qi’s neck.

In Su Nian’s vision, two black patches slowly materialized on Xiao Qi’s neck.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to habitually rub his neck, Su Nian spoke up at once.

"Is your neck feeling a little sore again?"

"Yeah, a little..."

Su Nian snapped, "Don’t touch it with your hand!"

But Xiao Qi had already rubbed his neck out of habit.

[I was just wondering why he kept rubbing his neck.]

[Look at Captain Hindsight upstairs. You didn’t say anything before, but now you suddenly know.]

[So what’s going on?!]

Su Nian watched as the faint black spots disappeared, sinking into his flesh. At the same time, a darker aura appeared on his face.

"I know what your problem is. Get away from that desk right now."

Xiao Qi was a bit stunned, but he put down his mouse and cautiously, slowly moved away from his seat and sat on the bed.

"Heavenly Venerate, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Qi’s voice became subdued.

Another gust of wind blew through, and the pair of feet started to drift again, swaying back and forth.

They were about to touch Xiao Qi’s face...

But at that moment, Xiao Qi was still staring at his phone with a baffled expression.

"Lie down!"

Su Nian’s voice grew louder, her sharp gaze fixed on the feet dangling in the air.

"Wh-what’s wrong...?"

Seeing Su Nian’s dead-serious expression, Xiao Qi grew nervous too. His heart felt like it was about to leap out of his stomach.

He knew Su Nian’s personality; she only got this serious when something was really happening.

’Could there be something unclean hidden in this room?’

[Congrats, Xiao Qi. You’ve definitely hit the jackpot.]

[When the streamer acts like this, something’s definitely up.]

[Could there really be a ghost?]

"Heavenly Venerate, wh-what’s wrong?"

Su Nian: "This apartment is no good. I advise you to move out as soon as possible. Find another place."

[What on earth is going on?!]

[I’m a prophet, I’m calling it right now: there’s definitely a ghost!]

[Whatever it is, listening to the streamer is the right move!]

The wind blew and blew, and the pair of feet began to sway once more.

But Xiao Qi stood up again...
