In an instant, I felt a chill in my heart. I glanced at Lin Ke'er, the woman who had called me multiple times before to save me.
So who exactly was she?
Although I trusted her, I still didn't know whether she was human or ghost. Recently, I had been having issues with my phone bill; my phone had been suspended, and when I checked the Call Log, all the calls were made after early morning.
Even though the camera footage showed me making calls in the middle of the night, they were all to the same number. This meant that I had been calling the same number repeatedly for a month during the dead of night.
And now, the owner of that number was standing right next to me.
I suddenly felt a coldness in my heart, a chill creeping up my back.
Lin Ke'er was still intently listening to the renewed sounds of sobbing. I felt uneasy, but I couldn't help thinking that if she wanted to harm me, I should have been dead more than ten times by now!
At this moment, my gaze towards Lin Ke'er had changed. However, I felt it was necessary to be honest with her; I didn't even know why I had this thought.
Just as I was about to ask her if she was...
Suddenly, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out and saw a message from Jianjian. The content of the message immediately captured my attention: "Saning, I've heard your voice. We're in the third room on the left side of the staircase corridor."
The staircase corridor—wasn't that where the Evil Spirit had appeared just moments ago? I stared at my phone screen in a daze.
When I finally snapped back to reality, I noticed Lin Ke'er was also staring at my phone screen.
Her face had turned pale, which only strengthened my suspicions. Perhaps Lin Ke'er really was a ghost. The thought sent shivers down my spine.
But she hadn't harmed me yet. However, if she truly was a ghost...
I felt conflicted inside. She had just said that this place wasn't meant for living people, so what kind of state was she in?
"Let's go," Lin Ke'er said.
I responded absently, and after taking a few steps, I asked, "Where to?"
"Of course, to meet up with your friends," Lin Ke'er replied with a hint of annoyance.
I was lost in thought, and she asked me what was wrong.
I shook my head and said it was nothing. Inside, I felt conflicted and sighed as we walked toward where Zhang Pangzi and the others were. I wanted to ask Lin Ke'er several times, but the words never came out.
After walking a bit further, I suddenly thought I heard someone say, "You’re here," which felt strange. I glanced back, but there was nothing behind me.
It must be another illusion, I reassured myself. Yet at that moment, I felt as if there was an extra gaze on me, as if someone had been watching me all along.
I turned around several times, but there was nothing but emptiness behind me.
There were no footsteps either; I could only sense someone looking at me from behind. It was just an illusion; it had to be an illusion, I murmured to myself.
The original sound of sobbing seemed to fade away as well.
Lin Ke'er heard me talking to myself and turned to ask, "Ningzi, what are you saying?"
"Oh, nothing," I replied. Lin Ke'er knew my nickname and said it so casually that it felt strange to hear.
Seeing my odd expression, Lin Ke'er playfully said, "Ningzi, you should know that lying is not something good kids do."
I fell silent for a moment before saying, "I think I've heard someone say 'you’re here' many times, and I feel like someone is following me." I paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Is there a ghost behind me?"
Lin Ke'er shifted her body slightly and looked past me into the distance. Soon she said, "There's nothing behind you."
I looked a bit pale.
Lin Ke'er told me not to be too nervous. I pressed down my worries and nodded.
The bloody Evil Spirit did not appear again, and we successfully arrived at the room designated by Jianjian. As we pushed the door open, we heard the sound of sobbing.
I closed the door. The lights were on inside, and Zhang Pangzi was lying on the hospital bed. Jianjian indeed had tear stains on her face, but she was no longer crying.
When she saw me enter, she called out to me, but her complexion looked somewhat pale.
Zhang Pangzi also called out to me, saying, "Saning, how did you find this place?"
Zhang Pangzi's face didn't look good since he had just undergone surgery.
I replied that she brought me here.
Zhang Pangzi showed a strange expression and said, "Who brought you here? Didn't you come in alone?" My heart sank at his words; Zhang Pangzi couldn't see Lin Ke'er.
But Jianjian definitely could. I looked at Jianjian with a questioning gaze, and she nodded slightly, her face showing a hint of fear.
People generally cannot see ghosts unless the ghost willingly allows them to see.
At that moment, Lin Ke'er’s voice sounded beside me. She said, "Ningzi, now that you know everything, what are you planning to do?"
Lin Ke'er spoke calmly; in fact, I had already more or less confirmed it in my heart earlier.
Jianjian wanted to speak, but when Lin Ke'er shot her a glare, she dared not say anything and covered her mouth with her hand.
Zhang Pangzi asked Jianjian what was wrong. Jianjian shook her head silently, unable to speak.
Back when I was in my hometown, Jianjian had told me that there was a female ghost on my bed. The female ghost she mentioned back then must have been Lin Ke'er.
"How long has Lin Ke'er been with me?"
I recalled my grandmother's strange words before she passed away, about taking the bride away. Then there was my taciturn father suddenly asking about my love life.
But I was clearly single, yet they spoke to me in such odd ways. Did that mean my grandmother and father had known about Lin Ke'er all along but never told me? Or perhaps they knew I was aware of her existence?
I glanced at Lin Ke'er.
Only the fat guy here seemed oblivious to her presence.
I felt a bit dazed and murmured in disbelief, "Could you be my bride?" After asking, I found it strange myself. It was simply unbelievable.
I married a ghost! What a ridiculous thing. Yet Lin Ke'er's nod confirmed it.
I struggled to accept that I had actually married a ghost.
Once I calmed down, I asked, "When did we get married?"
Lin Ke'er told me that from the day I was born, my grandmother had arranged a Ghost Marriage for us.
In other words, I had a wife since birth. For someone like me who was single, this should have been a stroke of good fortune. Yet, it felt somewhat hard to accept.
Lin Ke'er continued, saying that my life was unstable from the start, and I nearly died several times. In the end, my grandmother arranged the Ghost Marriage for me, and I was matched with her.
After she finished speaking, there was a silence in the room.
Jianjian had put her hands down and was listening intently to our story.
Lin Ke'er shared many things.
To be honest, if it weren't for Lin Ke'er’s presence, I might have already died many times—starting from Wang Wei to Ghost Granny and then Soybean Third Master. After that incident in this hospital, without her, I might have already met an untimely end.
Moreover, this is the Ghost Marriage that my grandmother arranged for me. She would never harm me, and my father knows about it too. This means they both accept it.
As for me, when I think about it, it’s really not a big deal; I just have an additional ghost wife…
I fell into a spiral of chaotic thoughts, but just then, Zhang Fatty called out to me, “Saning, what are you thinking? With such a beautiful wife, what are you still hesitating for, you single dog?”
“Can’t you see her?”
Zhang Fatty shot me a disdainful glance and said, “Just because I can’t see her doesn’t mean I can’t hear her. Besides, I can see her now. What’s the difference between a person and a ghost? As long as she treats you well, that’s all that matters. After all, she has saved your life so many times.”
“Well, I…”
Lin Ke'er looked at me and said, “Ningzi, I’ve given you all my youth; you can’t abandon me now.” Lin Ke'er had a playful expression on her face. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful looks, she could make countless men fall at her feet in an instant, and I was one of those men.
Yes, I accepted Lin Ke'er. After all, she has been with me for so long and has given so much.
This felt like our first official meeting where we acknowledged each other, much like a newlywed couple who were both a bit shy.
But just then, there was a sudden urgent knocking at the door…
