C89 (1/2)

”I really envy you all.” I promised to look at Meng Chen and me, then I said, ”When will I ever meet my chosen one?”

Han Mengchen smiled and said, ”Our school has some pretty good boys. I'll introduce them to you when I get the chance.”

I whispered, ”That's right, how is Miss Xia? I remember that she was poisoned and that there was no danger right?”

Han Mengchen said softly, ”She asked me to thank you.”

I whispered, ”There's no need to be polite. It's nothing.”

Brother Hu whispered, ”By the way, what did you do after we left?”

”Nothing, just eat.” After dinner, Big Brother Hu and Big Brother Hu promised to return to the store. Since there weren't any rooms available at home, Big Brother Hu was allowed to sleep in the store at night.

I held Meng Chen's hand and walked on the street. This feeling was indescribable.

”I have a question to ask you.”

I whispered, ”What problem?”

”Do you think you'll see my ghost if I die?”

I said smilingly, ”Ghosts don't exist all the time. Unless you have feelings for the human world, you wouldn't want to be reincarnated. It's not like what you guys saw on TV or in movies, where they live in the same space as us. It's just that we can't see each other.”

Han Mengchen then asked, ”Then aren't you afraid?”

”I started to get scared. Why did you ask that?”

”It's nothing. I'm just a bit curious.” I looked at the time. Unknowingly, I had already wandered around for more than two hours. As the sky gradually darkened, the night's weather had turned slightly colder.

I took off my jacket and put it on Tang Yufeng before saying, ”How about we find a place to sit for a while?”

There was a park nearby. It was the place where the wandering souls appeared last time, but it was very quiet now.

Han Mengchen and I found a bench and sat down. She snuggled up against my chest, and I put my arm around her shoulders.

”Do you know what Qian Feng and I said about cancelling the marriage?” I also wanted to ask about this. Qian Feng is also a rich young master, but he and Han Mengchen have already gotten married. This shows that their relationship is not bad, so how could they let go so easily?

Han Mengchen looked up at me and said, ”He said that he actually likes Xia Wanqing, and that it was only his parents that ordered him to marry me.”

”Father's orders? ”What do you mean …”

”This matter will not be clear to you for a while, but Qian Feng asked me to thank you.”

I sighed and said, ”Actually, I should be the one thanking him. With my conditions, how can I compare to him? He was the one who let you stay with me.”

Han Mengchen said softly, ”Your conditions are pretty good, but the industry is a bit special.”

I smiled and said, ”You're a teacher, and I'm a coffin maker. This isn't suitable for families.”

”These days, no one has the right to talk about it. The reason why I agreed to interact with you is because you saved me. Furthermore, I feel that you have a temperament that others do not have.”

”I thought you wanted to date me because I was handsome!”

Stop stinking!” Han Mengchen and I chatted for a long time, as if we had a lot to say. By the time I sent Han Mengchen home, it was almost ten o'clock. There was a cold breeze blowing and a damp smell. It was probably going to rain again. I didn't stay for long and returned to the shop by car.

He promised with a smile, ”You're back. Where did you go with sister Meng Chen?”

”I just wandered around for a bit. How was it today?”

Big Brother Hu walked out and said, ”There's no business. It's been a few months, and I haven't received a single living. If this goes on, we won't be able to order drinks from the northwest wind.”

Little brother, can you get me a bowl of water to drink?” I turned around and saw a man in a long robe. He was wearing straw sandals and a black belt. He was holding a bronze bell and a handful of paper money.

The man looked at me in surprise, then at Big Brother Hu and Promise, ”So I met someone from the same world.”

”Zombies!” Saying that, he pointed to the back of the man. I looked behind him and saw three people in long white robes standing in a row without moving.

The man said softly, ”I'm really sorry for scaring you guys.”

”Come on in, it's raining. Come in and hide for a bit.” The man rang the bell a few times and walked into the shop. The three corpses behind him also walked into the shop.

”Are you a Corpsemancer?” I poured a glass of water and handed it to the man. The man stretched out his hand and took the cup of water before sitting down on a chair. He drank the water from the cup and said, ”That's right. Today is really fated. I've met the three of you.”

Big Brother Hu said with a smile, ”Looking at it now, we are indeed of the same generation.”

”All they do is serve the dead.”
