Midnight Bookstore Chapter 421 – Do Not Call Me Auntie!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Fangfang gave the medicine which the customer wanted, the customer paid and left. Fangfang was a little unhappy though. She had recommended a new type of medicine to him. In the end, the customer only wanted one particular brand and insisted on it no matter what.

No matter how much Fangfang wasted her breath recommending it or used her looks to flatter, the customer was still stubborn. He was very determined! Fangfang had no choice but to give him the medicine he wanted. There was no difference in the effects between the two medicines. However, the price of the new medicine was more expensive. Thus the pharmacy could have gotten more commission.

If you have some ailments and went to the pharmacy to buy commonly used medicines that had been in use for a while, you needed to be more careful if the pharmacy staff enthusiastically recommends new medicines which may come with new packaging and new curative effects to you.

Fangfang looked outside with a bored look on her face. Her salary was given from Director Lin's hospital, and it had little to do with this pharmacy. It had nothing to do with her whether or not this pharmacy made a loss or profit.

Fangfang always felt that if the pharmacy did not make money, it would be too extravagant and wasteful. Extravagant… just like the bookstore next door that was half-dead. Speaking of which, the director was willing to spend money to build this for her husband… could it be… that this was true love?

On second thought, Fangfang felt that the boss's skill in surgery was much higher than other doctors. As she turned her head, Fangfang saw that the two girls were still chatting over there. She smiled as they were of the same age and had the same language, she missed the carefree days when she was young…

“What did you call me?”

“auntie.”

“Don't Call Me auntie.”

“Okay, auntie.”

Little Loli was furious. She glared at the girl in front of her. “Call me auntie again, and I'll hit you!” She was still very young! She looked at herself in the mirror every night and was very happy!

“Oh.”

Zhu Shengnan didn't say anything, but she still tilted her head. She didn't want to look at Little Loli, because in her eyes Little Loli's true appearance was terrifying. It was as if she was a prisoner who had just been tortured, the scars on her body… made Zhu Shengnan tremble in fear.

That was indeed the case. Similar to the ghost hunters and the smugglers, their souls and bodies were often very miserable. They had suffered inhuman torture in h.e.l.l. If it was just torturing the body, it was very easy to accidentally torment people to death. If it was just torturing the soul in h.e.l.l, it was really difficult for one's soul to disperse. Because of that, h.e.l.l workers invented many unimaginable and shocking persecutions.

It was the crystallization process that was performed by these h.e.l.l workers. After enduring it and not collapsing, the soul seemed to have been re-forged. Boss Zhou was a special case. He only traveled around the periphery of h.e.l.l and didn't enter. He ended up leaving immediately.

As for Zhang Yanfeng, it was precisely because he didn't go to h.e.l.l and come out as a ghost that he didn't have any other abilities at the moment. It was also because of this that the lawyer thought that he was a failed investment for his boss.

Wait a minute… “You can see me?”

After the initial “Auntie” stimulation, Little Loli finally woke up and found the main point. This was something that couldn't be helped. No one was perfect and most people had times when their emotions and thoughts were in a mess. True age was the biggest obstacle for Little Loli!

The little girl nodded.

Little Loli stared at the girl again but didn't find anything special about her. Then, she reached out and pinched the little girl's face.

It was a person… it wasn't anything else. To outsiders, this scene… looked like a little girl pinching her little sister's face… the two adorable little girls stood together, looking even more adorable and interesting.

“What did the boss pick up again?” Little Loli frowned, “Do you know that you can see ghosts?”

The little girl nodded.

“From birth?”

The little girl shook her head.

“Is it so magical?” Little Loli pouted. “Then why aren't you afraid when you see me?” She just tilted her head, she didn't want to look at my real body, that's all?

The girl shook her head, indicating that she wasn't afraid. It was really difficult for a girl who had long been tormented by her family to be truly afraid of something. Just like when Zhou Ze helped her remove the eight needles from her body, she still had an expressionless face.

“Does that person know?” Little Loli paused for a moment and continued, “It's the guy who performed the surgery on you. Do you know?”

The little girl shook her head.

“Then do you know that he's the same as me?”

The little girl nodded, “Uncle Doctor, the way he looks inside is different from the way he looks outside.”

“He doesn't have such a terrifying scar on his body like you, auntie.”

“Auntie! your sister!!!”

Little Loli used both her hands to rub the little girl's face until it turned red as an apple.

“If you scream again, I'll slap you with my tongue!”

She's a little girl… she's still young! The little girl was at a loss. Little Loli couldn't be bothered to tease her anymore. She took out her phone and called Zhou Ze.

“Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently busy. Please try again later…” She put down the phone and looked at the little girl with some annoyance, “Our boss is indeed a collector. He likes to hide everything at home. He must have been poor in the past.

“But let me tell you, there are already enough people in our bookstore. Don't even think about coming in.”

“Let me also tell you, there's a very jealous zombie living in the bookstore. Be careful, that zombie will eat you while you sleep at night after you move in!”

“She hates female creatures getting close to the boss the most…” As she spoke, Little Loli thought of Xu Qinglang again and immediately added,

“Handsome males are also not allowed.”

“I didn't want to come in.” The girl said as she shook her head.

“Where's Your Mother?”

“She's dead.”

“Where's your father?”

“He's dead too.”

“Everyone in the family is dead except for you?”

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

Little Loli turned her head to look at Fangfang as she wanted to ask her what was going on, but she then realized that Fangfang had walked out of the pharmacy. She seemed to have gone to get a delivery.

“Have you always lived alone?”

The little girl shook her head.

“Then who did you live with before?”

“My father, mother, and grandmother.”

“Didn't you say that they were all dead?”

“They were dead.”

“When did they die?”

“Last night.”

 “How did they die?”

“They were killed.”

“You escaped?”

The girl shook her head and said in a deep voice, “I had those two uncles who walked out of the painting…”

“Kill them…”

“I told grandma that the two uncles in the painting had moved, but she didn't believe me and even scolded and hit me.”

“To make my grandma, believe me… I shouted for the uncles in the painting to come out. When they came out, they ripped my grandmother's head off and shoved it in the toilet! Hehe…”

“My mother also didn't believe me, and her head too was also ripped off! Oh! Right, where did my mother's head go?”

“The two uncles also asked me where it was better to put it and I forgot all about it”

“When my father came back, I went to tell him that the uncle in the painting had come out and that you could finally have a son.” He didn't believe me, and burned me with a cigarette whilst saying that I was talking nonsense.”

“So I called the two uncles out again, and well… My father died too.”

“They should all believe me now, right? I always thought that they had all believed me. Otherwise, why would they beat me in the small room?”

“They even stuck a needle into my arm.”

“…” Little Loli.

She was stunned for a long time, then Little Loli reached out and touched her face.

“Auntie, what's wrong?”

“Nothing, I'm a Little Dizzy.”

“h.e.l.lo, Boss? What's the matter?”

An couldn't afford to ask as he stirred the sugar in his coffee cup. On the phone, Zhou Ze's voice was a little serious as he sternly ordered, “Go to the pharmacy next door right now and see if the girl who I had surgery with this afternoon is still there. If she is, control her first. If the police come, delay them and don't let her be taken away.”

“Also… make sure… whether that girl is human or not.”

“Boss, can't you tell if she's a human or a ghost? Why do you keep doing this?”

“I've looked at her carefully. She doesn't look like a ghost.”

“Okay, I got it. I'll help you make sure.”

After hanging up the phone… Lawyer An looked at the coffee cup in front of him with some disdain. This was because Yingying felt a little guilty just now and didn't want to take the boss's cat's feces to make a cup of coffee for An Buqi.

She took so much money from him… and kept pouring him expired coffee… Yingying felt a little embarra.s.sed in her heart. Moreover, Lawyer An drank coffee like a cow. He drank so much expired coffee every day. What if something happened to his body when he drank it?

Occasionally… he would drink some expired coffee to adjust his body?

“I say, Yingying.” An Buqi said as he picked up the coffee cup.

“Huh?” Yingying said as she raised her head whilst sitting behind the bar counter.

“Is this for people to drink?” An couldn't help but say unhappily.

“Huh?”

“Wasn't this the boss's cat's feces?”

“I say, don't be so stingy. It's not like I didn't pay you, right? You didn't have to use the leftover expired products that the boss drank to fool me, right?”

“Eh…”

“Next time, don't fool me. It's not the taste that I like. I can taste it.”

Yingying nodded and said, “I'm sorry, I was wrong.”

“Okay, be good. Don't be stingy next time.”

“Okay.”

Lawyer An got up and left the bookstore to go to the pharmacy next door. Yingying took out her cell phone and dialed the number of the local Nestle Coffee Distributor.

As soon as the call was connected Yingying said angrily, “Hey, why hasn't the expired coffee that I asked for arrived yet?!”

“Hurry up and send it to me! If the city doesn't have enough, you can contact the distributors in other cities. I'll collect as much as I have here!”
