Chapter 87 The Metaphysics Master's Fiancée 04
But Qing, you must know when to stop.
“Then I’ll go down and see if there’s anything I can help with,” Luo Shuyu said.
Jiang Yiqing hesitated before calling out to her, "Sister Luo, does this world... really have ghosts?"
Ghosts did exist in the previous world, but people couldn't see them. In this world, for some reason, Jiang Yiqing has never seen a ghost.
“There are surprisingly many people in this world who believe in supernatural beings and ghosts.” Upon hearing this, Luo Shuyu sat down on the chair next to the bed and said, “Is there something troubling you, Yiqing? You can tell me directly. Don’t let my appearance fool you, I’m actually a very good listener.”
Her gentleness opened Jiang Yiqing's heart, and she tried to confide her troubles to someone again: "I used to be able to see ghosts, but I can't now... I don't know what's wrong."
"Hehe." Luo Shuyu pursed her lips and smiled gently. Her eyes turned into crescent shapes, and she immediately lost her aloofness and became very friendly: "Yiqing, don't you know that ghosts are very afraid of a ghost-catching master like me? How could there be a ghost that doesn't know what's good for it and wants to run into me?"
"You mean, because I'm with you, no ghosts dare to approach me?" Jiang Yiqing's eyes widened slightly, filled with doubt. She had never considered this possibility before.
“That should be it.” Luo Shuyu looked her over carefully again and said, “I’ve never heard Auntie say that Yiqing can see ghosts. People who can see ghosts have different spiritual power and magnetic fields than ordinary people. The most obvious feature is a pair of yin-yang eyes. Even if you can see ghosts, there’s no need to be afraid. It’s just that you are closer to ‘that world’ than ordinary people. I am someone who can see ghosts. So far, I have met some people like me. Apart from those who work in my profession, the others all pretend to be nonchalant and live like normal people.”
"I see." Jiang Yiqing hadn't expected that there were so many people like her in this world. What was this unprecedented sense of security she felt?
Seeing that she was looking down and about to cry, Luo Shuyu assumed it was because of her injury and said, "Yiqing, is your wound too painful? Should I call a doctor now?"
"No...it's nothing, it doesn't hurt," Jiang Yiqing said. "Let me stay by myself for now, I want to think about some things."
Luo Shuyu expressed her respect, but as she left, she glanced at her again, feeling that what Miss Jiang and Aunt Jiang said were somewhat different.
—It's a feeling that makes me very uneasy.
"Host, congratulations on binding with the 'Fragment Collection System'! Collect rare and precious materials to achieve miraculous healing, attain enlightenment, and ascend to immortality—truly the most enviable thing throughout history! Don't dwell on the past; a bright tomorrow awaits you. Move forward, courageous young woman!"
The noise puzzled Jiang Yiqing, and she almost covered her ears, but she was sure she hadn't misheard: "At my age, what girl?"
"In my heart, host, you will always be eighteen!" the system said. "Ah, no, host, you've got the point wrong."
"Fragments? Becoming an immortal?" Jiang Yiqing didn't quite understand, but it sounded like a good thing. If she had this so-called system, perhaps she wouldn't have been considered a useless person in her previous world. She asked, "Is it only me who is bound, or was the previous Yiqing also bound? If it's the former, I don't want to bind you. Go find her."
"..." The system said, "Waaah, host, you're such a good baby. Don't worry, Yi Qing from before is also bound. To put it bluntly, you two are actually...&%..."
The system was about to say something, but it became unclear. Jiang Yiqing was relieved to hear this: "That's good."
Her gaze began to wander around the room, and a line of text appeared on the freesia that Luo Shuyu had just put down.
Freesia Fragment *6
"Host, you're really lucky. Flowers grown in ordinary gardens can't possibly have spiritual energy, but this bunch of flowers does, which means the soil beneath the planted area is rich in spiritual energy!" the system said. "Although the spiritual energy in this world isn't as abundant as in your previous world, it shouldn't be underestimated!"
"So, I can collect it? But Sister Luo put it here, it would be a shame to just take it away like this. I'll see if there are any other flowers later."
Just then, Jiang Yiqing's phone rang. She answered it, and Lin Jing was on the other end.
"Yiqing, we're almost at your house! Guess what gift we brought you?!"
“…What gift? Sorry, I can’t guess,” Jiang Yiqing said.
Lin Jing said, "...Never mind, I won't tell you now."
After Jiang Yiqing came downstairs, the villa was decorated with balloons and ribbons, and there was even a temporary stage in the center of the living room.
Lin Jing and the others got out of a pickup truck. Following them into the villa were four young people dressed in a visual rock style. Aunt Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Seriously, Yi Qing just got out of the hospital and she's already making such a fuss. She even hired a band. Can she handle it?!"
Lin Jing shook her head and said, "Aunt Qin, you don't know this, but Yi Qing loves a lively atmosphere. Besides, this is her favorite rock band, which she told me herself! I specially invited them over today!"
After Lin Jing finished speaking, she leaned close to Jiang Yiqing to ask for credit: "Yiqing, tell me, wasn't I a good friend?"
"That's kind of you." Jiang Yiqing nodded, also feeling happy. She said, "Thank you so much."
Jiang Yiqing imagined how the original Yiqing would feel upon seeing her favorite band. Luo Shuyu pushed her wheelchair and brought her to the four of them. Jiang Yiqing's eyes were full of anticipation and joy as she said, "I'm so grateful that you all came all this way. I'm so touched. You're all so kind!"
She wasn't sure if her acting was convincing, but her face turned red anyway. The rock band members were pretty cool and didn't talk much. One of them took the initiative to hug Jiang Yiqing and said, "We're happy to have your approval."
"Yiqing, don't you like Sister RIN the most? You said you would kiss her if you saw her. What are you waiting for?" Lin Jing urged.
The celebrity named Rin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she said, "I didn't expect my little fan to be so beautiful. I'm single right now!"
The crowd immediately started to jeer.
Jiang Yiqing blushed shyly, but Rin moved closer to her, turned her face to the side, and Jiang Yiqing gritted her teeth and kissed her on the cheek.
"Wow!!!" The atmosphere at the scene was immediately ignited.
"Yi Qing, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital!" Led by Lin Jing, everyone offered their blessings.
Jiang Yiqing was moved to tears, and the rock stars went on stage to play one of their best songs for her.
—"Smash Them All!!!"
The music was a bit too difficult for Jiang Yiqing, who was new to the place, but she was captivated by the unfamiliar instruments and the passionate performers. She felt a genuine joy at the amazing changes happening in this ever-changing world, and a new kind of energy seemed to be growing in her heart.
Led by the band, the party atmosphere reached its peak, even attracting the attention of the nearby neighbors who came to watch.
Amidst the noise and the crowded throng, Luo Shuyu stood firmly behind Jiang Yiqing, never leaving her side. Even Lin Jing managed to squeeze through the crowd, and Jiang Yiqing overheard her whisper, "Looks like things are going well?"
"What?" Jiang Yiqing didn't hear clearly and looked at her.
"At this rate, it seems you're not far from finding a partner."
Jiang Yiqing didn't understand and looked at her innocently.
Luo Shuyu glanced at Lin Jing quietly, and Lin Jing, as if burned by a flame, immediately left.
How terrifying! Why are Miss Luo's eyes so frightening?!
I'm doing this for Yi Qing's sake. Her favorite celebrities and her arranged marriage partner are all here, so Yi Qing will know which one she really likes. If she decides to be with Miss Luo, it will also make Miss Luo feel a little nervous.
However, she felt that she might be killed by Miss Luo's magic first! Forget it, it's better not to get involved in this mess!
"Yiqing really likes RIN, she is indeed very charming." Jiang Yiqing heard Luo Shuyu say softly, but for some reason her voice was so clear.
She turned her head and found that Luo Shuyu had bent down at some point, her head very close to hers, almost whispering in her ear, "But I've never heard that you like her so much that you can't help but kiss her cheek, Yiqing, is that really okay?"
What was she saying? I couldn't understand her. Jiang Yiqing continued to maintain her innocent demeanor.
"That look again. Yi Qing really has a lot of secrets." Luo Shuyu chuckled and said, "Alright, but Yi Qing, you must know when to stop. People who anger me, although few in number, usually don't have a good ending. I don't want you to become one of them."
Jiang Yiqing was even more confused. What was wrong with the usually gentle Sister Luo? Did she not want to see her and Rin kiss on the cheek? But she clearly read in a book that this was just a way of expressing affection. She shouldn't have offended Luo Shuyu in any way.
The current Luo Shuyu is exactly like—the feeling she gets from a ghost.
Jiang Yiqing said, feeling wronged, "Did I make Sister Luo angry?"
Looking at her expression, Luo Shuyu couldn't help but soften and said, "You didn't do anything wrong."
Jiang Yiqing didn't believe it. She turned her head, wanting to ask the people around her for help. Her eyes scanned the crowd, but she saw Aunt Wang watching her from the doorway.
It was a very focused and hostile gaze, as if he wanted to pull her off the high stage and watch her smash to pieces.
"Sister Wang, what are you doing standing there? Come in, dinner will be served soon." Aunt Qin's smile was a little forced, but she didn't want to immediately distance herself from her, so she could only say that.
"Ah, I have things to do. You guys eat. Have fun," Aunt Wang said coldly, then turned and left.
