[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper-Chapter 73: Dream

Chapter 73: Dream

Qin An warned the ghost not to approach Lu Nanxiao again to prevent accidental possession. After all, even if the ghost doesn’t have malicious intent, being a ghost and a human is completely not compatible to be together longer, much more if it’s possessed. Qin An just let Black and the ghost meet and went to the clinic wherein he saw a crowd at a glance.

He went closer and heard some whispers around.

"Lu Nanxiao is still inside the clinic. But fortunately it was nothing serious. He just really ate too much earlier."

"What is he thinking? How can a human eat that much without even stopping? Even if eating is a good thing, seeing him stuffing so much made me feel nauseated."

"I felt that too. That was really an overwhelming sight."

Someone sighs. "Hey, what do you think will happen to him? Even if he already vomited so much, he had taken too much too. I heard Lu Nanxiao is prone to fat. Will this bring a problem to him?"

Qin An didn’t hear the next conversation because the groups were already away and he was walking too. Just as he also wondered what would happen to the young man now, he arrived at the clinic and saw He Yan’s group waiting outside the glass wall.

And when he walked closer to them, he heard the doctor talking about Lu Nanxiao’s condition which coincidentally answered the trainee’s question earlier.

"Classmate Lu is fine. He just needs enough rest and he’ll be okay. However, I advised that you should warn him not to eat too much especially on his condition. Because even if he already vomited some things, the food already took its part to change his body."

The crowd were shocked. Change? What changed?

"Well," Seeing the confusion and shock on everyone’s eyes, the doctor sighs. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"According to his medical record, Classmate Lu has been prone to get fat easily so he controlled his diet and managed to have this body until today. Because he’s been used to discipline himself, today’s incident brought an impact on his body so he became nauseated and vomited until he lost consciousness. But don’t worry. We will monitor his health. Just give him some light food everyday and he’ll be fine in time."

"Will he really be fat?" A trainee asked worriedly.

"A human’s body can totally digest food within 3 hours so we have to wait. It’s actually not possible that a person will be fat immediately, especially since Classmate Lu just ate too much in one sitting, probably he’ll just gain weight."

"Weight? I remembered his weight is just right on standard. If he’ll gain weight, will this be a problem?"

The doctor sighs. "Then he’ll have to go on a diet and exercise. Don’t worry, if that happens, we’ll consult a nutritionist for him to get back on track."

After the doctor said a few reminders, he went back inside the clinic so the mentors faced the trainees.

"Go back to your rooms. Take a rest and wait for tomorrow." Xu Xinyi said. The trainees immediately nod so they walk back.

"Will this worry Nanxiao?" Xing Ren asked after they arrived.

"Probably. I’ve known him longer than you guys." A trainee answered. "We’ve known each other since we were classmates in grade school. He’s quite fat back then so he was often teased and bullied. Later, in order to stop them, Nanxiao can only exercise such as practicing dancing for a long time and even starves himself sometimes, especially now that he wants to stand on stage. It’s even more important. I’m sure that when he wakes up earlier and finds his weight increased, he’ll definitely do everything to get back on track."

He Yan sighs. "If only we persuade him earlier. Maybe we can stop him from eating too much."

A trainee shrugged. "We did but he didn’t listen, right?"

"Does his loss give him too much impact?" When He Yan’s face flashes with guilt, Xing Ren immediately stops him from overthinking.

"Yanyan, that’s no one’s fault. It’s the mentor’s decision to pick us. This will always happen even in the future. There’s no use in blaming anyone."

"That’s true. It was his choice to eat himself, right?"

The other trainees also nodded.

Meanwhile, Qin An looks at the timid ghost who’s floating with a guilty look on its face. It’s been in silence after hearing what the doctor said and was anxious. But because there’s too many people, it could only swallow its voice and stand beside the large black maine coon cat.

Qin An signaled it with his eyes and he went outside the room. Walking to the corner, Qin An faced the ghost who finally couldn’t wait but spoke.

"I-I really didn’t mean this to happen. I’m so sorry!" The ghost bows his head at him. Qin An sigh. Is an apology necessary when all the damage has been done?

Qin An didn’t answer the ghost about what happened but instead changed the topic.

"What’s your name?"

The ghost was startled and looked at him. "M-My name?"

Qin An didn’t answer but the ghost flinched and nodded repeatedly. "R-Right, it’s me! Uhm, my name... my name is..." Its pale face seems to turn paler at this moment. "I-I..."

Even if the latter didn’t continue its words, Qin An already knew what it meant.

He couldn’t remember.

Now this added trouble. In the past, whenever they encountered situations like this, they had many connections to know the ghost identity. For humans, they call it investigators, detectives or police who can find out anyone’s identity, but for those who’s part of the underworld, they also have a system.

The underworld is actually not that different from the human world. Even Hades who’s the God below will also put down its reign to let the next Hades wear the crown. However, their times are way too different from humans. They lived too long, the higher the position, the longer they could live and serve the world.

For them, this is actually not that different from humans who’ll eventually face death. It’s only a matter of time.

Anyway, just like humans who were ruled by system and laws, and have various types of responsibilities, the underworld has their own. Those grim reapers who met souls that lost their memories will ask the Seeker, a more likely logistic staff.

They have an ability to seek people’s memories and find the identity of anyone, whether it’s in your past life before reincarnation. That is why it’s quite easy for souls to remember things again and finish their business to go with them.

Unfortunately, there’s no one in this world.

... Or maybe not?

"You didn’t see anyone like you?" Qin An asked the ghost who’s panicking.

The latter shook his head in dismay.

Qin An sigh in frustration. The talk ended in fruitless because both of them didn’t know what to do next.

At night when Qin An lay on bed to sleep, he didn’t expect to experience something for the first time in his life.

He actually dreams.
