Although the female ghost's appearance hadn't changed, her eyes told Wang Yanjun that she was Liu Xue, not Liu Dong.
“Xue’er…” Wang Yanjun’s voice trembled slightly.
"You are Xue'er, right?"
Two tears streamed down Liu Xue's face, but she couldn't help but smile.
"Honey, I'm so glad to see you! I'm so glad you're alright!"
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and frowned, saying:
"You were the female ghost who protected my brother and Zhang Shichang in the underground cave that day, weren't you!"
Liu Xue nodded with tears in her eyes.
After that body died completely, she also learned of Liu Dong's existence.
Over the years, fearing that Liu Dong would seek revenge on Wang Yanjun, she never reincarnated, but instead stayed in the mountains to block Liu Dong.
That day, she realized that Liu Yong and Wang Yanjun were in danger, so she had to leave Liu Dong to save them.
After saving Liu Yong and Wang Yanjun, her strength was greatly weakened, which is why she was absorbed into Liu Dong's body and trapped.
Wang Yanjun looked at Liu Xue and wanted to hug her, but only his gloved hands could touch her.
He choked up, cupping Liu Xue's face in his hands, wanting to say so much, but at this moment he couldn't utter a single word.
Liu Xue smiled slightly:
"Honey, you don't need to say anything, I understand. I don't blame you!"
Wang Yanjun suddenly broke down in tears; the usually decisive and efficient man was crying like a child at this moment.
Seeing this, Lu Qing pulled Gu Xicheng outside, leaving them alone.
"Sigh~ Brother, your love life has been so bumpy! Fate is playing tricks on you!" Lu Qing sighed.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xicheng, only to meet his smiling eyes. Those eyes suddenly struck her heart, making her heart pound wildly.
Lu Qing quickly looked away:
Why...why are you looking at me like that?
Gu Xicheng smiled and said:
"It's nothing, there's a really good dessert shop around here, I wanted to take you there!"
"Okay...okay!"
Lu Qing's face was slightly flushed, just like a peach-flavored mochi.
The night breeze wasn't too hot, and the two sat on the rooftop of the dessert shop, enjoying the evening breeze and desserts.
Gu Xicheng ordered all the desserts in the shop and let Lu Qing try them one by one.
"This matcha mille-feuille is delicious!"
"This tiramisu is delicious too!"
"And this..."
Lu Qing ate her dessert, her eyes narrowing into slits with a smile.
Gu Xicheng just watched her eat, nothing particularly exciting, but looking at her, he couldn't help but smile.
"Gu Xicheng, why aren't you eating?" Lu Qing asked.
Gu Xicheng smiled and said, "I don't really like sweets, you eat it!"
"Try a bite, it's not sweet at all."
Lu Qing scooped a spoonful of matcha-flavored cake and handed it to Gu Xicheng.
"It's not sweet, is it?" Lu Qing asked.
Gu Xicheng replied with a smile, "Sweet, very sweet!"
The matcha-flavored cake wasn't sweet at all, and even had a hint of bitterness from the tea, but to Gu Xicheng, it tasted sweeter than the sweetest candy in the world.
Lu Qing pouted: "So you really don't like sweets? Fine, I'll eat it myself!"
When we were almost finished eating, my brother called.
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing returned to the hospital.
Wang Yanjun had wiped away his tears and his emotions had stabilized considerably.
"Lu Qing, please, please separate Xue'er's soul from Liu Dong's soul!"
Wang Yanjun even bowed to Lu Qing, which startled Lu Qing.
"Brother, don't be so polite with me, it feels strange!"
Lu Qing walked up to Liu Xue, formed a hand seal, covered her palms with golden light, and gently pulled, Liu Xue's soul was pulled out.
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll open the gates to the underworld and hand them over to the ghost messengers!"
Wang Yanjun looked at Liu Xue, and said with a smile through his tears:
"Xue'er, I hope you meet someone better than me in your next life, and that you will be happy and safe!"
"Husband, there is no one better than you. I'll be waiting for you down there. We'll be together in our next life too."
After saying his farewells, Lu Qing opened the Gate of Hell and handed Liu Dong and Liu Xue over to the ghost messengers.
Wang Yanjun waved goodbye until the gates of hell closed.
He took a deep breath and asked Lu Qing:
"Will Xue'er and I be able to be together in our next life?"
Lu Qing did some quick calculations and said, "Hmm... you'd better not have too high expectations. Three lifetimes of marriage only exist in novels."
Wang Yanjun: "Uh... okay!"
Now that he has resolved his inner conflict, if he continues to dwell on the past and cannot move on, he would be betraying Liu Xue's love for him.
After all that trouble, and with the dormitory closing time fast approaching, Lu Qing quickly asked Gu Xicheng to take her back.
She has taken too many days off; if she takes a few more, her participation points will be deducted.
Gu Xicheng rushed as fast as he could and managed to get Lu Qing to the dormitory building just ten minutes before the dormitory doors closed.
"It's closing time, go home!"
Lu Qing nodded and walked back to the dormitory, looking back every few steps.
Every time Lu Qing turned around, Gu Xicheng was there. Even after Lu Qing entered the dormitory and came to the balcony, he was still there.
Gu Xicheng looked up, waved to Lu Qing, and then left.
Lu Qingxin was overjoyed, a sweet smile on her face.
Behind her, three roommates peeked out from behind her. After seeing Gu Xicheng's departing figure, the three of them grabbed Lu Qing at the same time, dragged her back to the dormitory, and pressed her onto the bed.
"Tell me! What did you and Gu Xicheng do today?"
Lu Qing: "We...didn't do anything!"
"Did you do something wrong to come back so late?"
"Did you two go... um... you know?" Leng Wei asked slyly.
Lu Qing asked, puzzled, "Hmm... hmm... what is it?"
Leng Wei: "It's about boyfriends and girlfriends exploring the origins of life in a physical way."
Lu Qing thought for a moment before realizing what was happening, and her face flushed red instantly.
"No! We didn't!"
"Really not?" Leng Wei asked doubtfully.
"Of course! We went out to rescue people!" Lu Qing said earnestly.
"Save someone? Save who?" The three looked at Lu Qing in confusion.
Lu Qing recounted Wang Yanjun's story.
"That's how it is. Gu Xicheng and I have been busy saving people. How could we possibly do... that kind of thing!"
She and Gu Xicheng had only known each other for less than a month. Even if they were engaged, they shouldn't have had sex so quickly!
"So that's how it is!" Leng Wei was still a little disappointed.
The couple she was shipping hadn't actually gotten together yet, and a faint sadness welled up in her heart.
"Okay, I'm going to wash up now, the lights are going to be out soon!"
Lu Qing quickly grabbed a bath towel and went into the bathroom.
Warm water was poured over her from head to toe, and although she closed her eyes, she couldn't calm her mind.
Her mind was filled with the way Gu Xicheng looked at her today and the things he had said; the more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat.
As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Lu Qing thought too much, and tonight's dream was even more insane than last night's.
She was awakened in the middle of the night.
The air conditioner was on, and the dormitory temperature was very low, but her face was frighteningly hot.
Realizing that his Qi was disordered, Lu Qing quickly sat down cross-legged and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.
She chanted the incantation for a full hour before her heart finally calmed down.
Just as Lu Qing was about to go back to sleep, she suddenly heard an extremely sharp cat meow.
Her eyelids twitched, sensing something was wrong, and she quickly got out of bed and ran to the balcony to check.
In the dim light of the streetlamp, she saw a man lying straight down, his chest and abdomen wide open, blood and intestines spilling out onto the ground.
