“Siyuan is getting married to Qiao Lianjiu?” My jaw nearly dropped... Is that even possible? Siyuan, with her tomboyish personality, has never worn a dress and spends all her time playing sports with a bunch of guys. I honestly thought she would never marry a man.
Su Anrong nodded seriously, “It seems quite difficult.”
I nodded in agreement, “Then should we just continue playing?”
The two Lizard Spirits asked in unison, “Can we have a brawl?”
“Stop butting in! Why aren’t you two staying in the mental hospital? What are you doing here on our vehicle? Go back!” I slapped B on the forehead.
“Queen, we’ve already resigned,” A said with a smile.
B immediately chimed in, “Yes, we’ve resigned. From now on, we’ll follow Queen.”
“What? I didn’t ask for you! I don’t need bodyguards, and I can’t afford to pay you!” I quickly clutched my pockets.
“No salary needed. You can ask us to do anything as long as we can follow you,” A waved his hands eagerly.
B added, “Yes, Queen, just let us have a taste of Young Master’s discarded skin occasionally…”
Before B could finish his sentence, A gave him a hard knock on the head.
I looked at them in confusion, “What do you mean? Are you addicted to his skin?”
Su Anrong generously patted my hand, “It’s fine, dear. If they like it, let them have it. You do need someone to act as your bodyguard. Although I would love to stay by your side twenty-four seven, that’s still quite difficult to achieve. Rice is just a child after all; it wouldn’t be good for him to stand out too much. So having them as your bodyguards is the best choice.”
“I don’t want two big men following me around! Besides, many people at school have seen them as patients from the mental hospital. Those who don’t know might really think I’m sick and need constant supervision!”
“Our Son has Beauty Serum. Let’s use it on them; it can change their appearance.”
“Wow! Beauty Serum!” B exclaimed.
A's voice trembled with excitement, “Can we really use it?”
I shot them a fierce glare and reluctantly said to Su Anrong, “But the Beauty Serum has already... been used...”
Su Anrong lifted my face, looking from side to side, and said seriously, “No way, if you had used it, you shouldn't look like this. Besides, humans... Ah! Honey, you pinched me again!”
“I did pinch you! What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm ugly?”
“Of course not! What I mean is, if you had used it, your face should be worse because Beauty Serum can't be used by humans. Once used, not only does it make you uglier, but it also causes your body to rot until you die... Wait, if you didn't use it, then who did?”
It was bound to come out eventually.
I gritted my teeth, truly reluctant to bring this up, but I had no choice!
“Honey?”
“It was your Ghost Servant who used it. She has become so beautiful now, a thousand times prettier than me. You might want to consider her...” Sob, how sad. Why am I not a ghost? If I were a ghost, I could use the Beauty Serum too and become beautiful!
“Stop talking nonsense! No matter how beautiful she is, it doesn't concern me. You're still my wife no matter how ugly you think you are. Besides, you weren't even ugly before, haha!” Soon after, Su Anrong realized he had misspoken and quickly changed the subject. “So where were we? Weren't we talking about Chen Siyuan? I think we should find Chen Siyuan as soon as possible.”
Yes, speaking of which, I hadn't seen her for two days. She hadn't contacted me since she left my house!
I immediately called her, but a cold female voice came through the line: “The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.”
“Garlic Paste, let's head back to school. I'll check the dormitory first.”
After a few days away, I returned to school once more. As soon as they received the news, Fang Xiaonan and Gao Lele rushed to the school gate to wait for me.
“Ah! Wheat! You’re finally back! How was it? Zhang Mengdi just returned, and it’s said that she’s the one really unwell. You’ve really been through a lot because of her!” Fang Xiaonan hugged me tightly.
Gao Lele smiled, clearly happy to see me back. “Alright, enough of that. Let’s hurry back to the dorm! I washed your blanket for you, so think about how you’ll thank me!”
“Thank you, gorgeous!” I kissed Gao Lele on the cheek and then grabbed her hand, asking, “Lele, is Siyuan in the dorm?”
As soon as I asked, both Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan’s smiles froze. Fang Xiaonan asked worriedly, “Wheat, you really don’t know?”
Seeing their expressions, I immediately realized I had asked the wrong question and quickly added, “Oh right… I remember hearing something about her having an accident that day…”
Fang Xiaonan’s tears started to flow, while Gao Lele looked up, trying hard not to cry. After a moment, she looked at me and sniffed, saying, “Wheat, tomorrow is Siyuan’s funeral.”
Chen Siyuan's body had not been found. Her parents had used her belongings along with some charms inscribed with her birth date to create an urn in her place. Coincidentally, it was a weekend, and the three of us planned to take an overnight train to Chen Siyuan's home in another city.
The afternoon before we left, I went to find Qiao Lianjiu. He seemed unwilling to see me; I didn’t know why he always avoided me whenever he saw me.
But for the sake of Chen Siyuan’s spirit, I had to make one last effort—I needed to confront him in the boys’ dorm!
“Wife, how can you—a married woman—go to the boys’ dorm to confront someone? It breaks my heart!” Su Anrong strongly opposed.
I stuffed a peeled orange into his mouth to silence him. “Let’s avoid fighting if we can. We should think of a peaceful solution first. On Siyuan’s funeral day, she will definitely return. If I bring Qiao Lianjiu along, maybe they can meet.”
“And then what? The Qiao Family is a Ghost-catching Family; why would they want their son to marry a female ghost? Oh wait, this ghost doesn’t seem like a pure female ghost either.”
I was at a loss for words and could only respond vaguely, “What’s with all the ‘and then’? Let’s just meet first; after all, they were once friends on the field. What if Qiao Lianjiu softens up and agrees?”
“Only your little brain could come up with such nonsense. Marriage isn’t something you just agree to because you feel soft-hearted; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been single for so many years!” Su Anrong sighed heavily. “Wife, I’ve pursued you for over a thousand years. Besides you, I haven’t touched any other female creature. Where else can you find such a good husband? Wealthy and handsome, plus I can take you out to show off…”
“Shut up! The more you talk, the more ridiculous it gets! No matter what happens, I must take Qiao Lianjiu to Siyuan’s funeral! If you have a better plan, then think of one; if not, stop wasting my time with your nonsense!”
"You really shouldn't doubt your husband like that. It's just a trip to the boys' dorm. I'm a real man, SO EASY! Just wait, I'll bring Qiao Lianjiu out in less than five minutes!" Su Anrong pushed me onto a chair beside the small Pavilion next to the dorm. "Just sit tight and enjoy the scenery. I'll be right back."
Su Anrong quickly left, and sure enough, in less than five minutes, he returned, dragging someone along with him in a hurry.
I turned my head and gasped! I couldn't believe I knew this person!
Su Anrong was pulling Qiao Lianjiu into the Pavilion, which seemed a bit rough but was still acceptable. The problem was, why was Qiao Lianjiu only wearing a wet pair of shorts?! And what was with the large crowd of onlookers following behind?!
"Here you go, dear! I found him after searching for a long time in the bathroom!" Su Anrong pushed Qiao Lianjiu in front of me.
Immediately, Qiao Lianjiu swung his fist at Su Anrong, but he easily dodged it.
"Qi Zunshang! We agreed to stay out of each other's way! What the hell do you want? Can't I even take a proper shower anymore?" Unable to hit Su Anrong, Qiao Lianjiu kicked the nearby pillar in frustration.
But he forgot he wasn't wearing shoes and ended up kicking it with his bare foot, yelping in pain.
I wanted to scold Su Anrong, but given the situation, I had to focus on the matter at hand. "I'm sorry, Qiao Lianjiu. This is a bit sudden, and I'm quite anxious, which is why this... misunderstanding happened..." I struggled to find the right words; calling it a misunderstanding felt like an outright lie. Never mind, let's get straight to the point!
"Tomorrow is Siyuan's funeral. She was your teammate during her lifetime; could you please attend and see her off one last time?"
