Fengguang paused in her tracks. It was dark and windy, and she really didn't dare to go. But she couldn't turn back and say she didn't dare either! Otherwise, she would lose all her bravado!
Situ Zui then said, "I was just planning to clean up anyway, so why don't we..."
“I’ll go with Fengguang!” The girl with glasses stepped forward. She was Mu Qingqing, the class monitor of Class 2A. She grabbed Fengguang’s hand and walked away, waving to the rest of the group. “With me here, you can all rest assured.”
Once they reached the riverbank, Feng Guang breathed a sigh of relief. "Squad leader, thank you for saving us in time."
"Tsk, no need to be so polite." Mu Qingqing and Feng Guang have been classmates since elementary school. She pouted and said, "I've noticed that since Su Qiangwei came, a lot of people have changed their minds so quickly. Take Shangguan Ran and the others for example. They used to all fawn over you, but as soon as Su Qiangwei arrived, they immediately changed their targets. Feng Guang, do you think Su Qiangwei's personal charm is really that great?"
That's not called personal charm, that's called the female lead's halo. Feng Guang also has the female lead's halo, but it's only temporary. Compared to Su Qiangwei's permanent halo, she certainly can't compare.
Remembering something, Feng Guang asked again, "How come I didn't know you were the president of some paranormal society?"
"It's not just me, you're also a member of our club."
“What?” she said. “I don’t remember ever joining this club.”
“I added your name for you. You’ve never liked to get involved in these things, so I never told you.” Mu Qingqing patted Feng Guang’s shoulder. “Alright, alright, go wash your face. I’ll walk around the neighborhood. Call me if you need anything.”
"Hey..." Feng Guang called out, but Mu Qingqing had already turned and left without any mercy.
Sure enough, a large part of the reason Mu Qingqing came out was to see if there was anything strange about this place.
Something strange?
Feng Guang panicked and quickly squatted down by the river to clean herself with water. She had to finish quickly and return to the crowd, because she was certain that this world was not a scientific one, so it was not impossible that demons and monsters would jump out.
Suddenly, a point of light appeared beside her. Looking closely, she saw it was a jade pendant. It emitted a faint glow because the moon, which had appeared out of nowhere, refracted the moonlight. Curious, she picked up the jade pendant. It was made entirely of green jade with red tassels and exquisite carvings. However, it looked very old.
Suddenly, a black cat jumped out, startling her. Then, a figure appeared in front of her.
“Miss, we meet again.” The young man in the black trench coat squatted down in front of her. The cat at his feet meowed at Feng Guang. Soon, he saw the jade pendant in Feng Guang’s hand and frowned, saying, “Quickly put this jade pendant down.”
"W-what's wrong?" Feng Guang was still in shock from his sudden appearance and hadn't come to her senses. Seeing his solemn expression, she had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, he said, "This jade pendant was deliberately placed here by someone, just so that someone would find it one day. Do you know why they did that?"
"Why……"
“If a dead person’s personal belongings are left somewhere, the person who finds them will be taken away to have a wedding with the owner.” He said slowly and solemnly, “This jade pendant is for choosing a person to marry in the afterlife for its owner.”
A ghost marriage?!
