However, the girl in the floral dress's eyes soon dimmed. She turned her head to look at the glass, as if she wanted to see what she looked like now, but her appearance was not reflected in the glass.
She reached out and touched her face again. At that moment, a rare trace of emotion appeared on her wrinkled and shriveled face. She was afraid, and she retreated.
"Go to sleep," Chi Shen lifted up the ghost face hiding in the hat, "I'll help you."
Gui Lian struggled desperately in Chi Shen's hands: "I'm helping her! Not you helping him!"
Chi Shen threw a face at him: "That's about right, don't be so formal."
The ghost face fell beside the floral skirt. He turned back and glanced at Chi Shen angrily, but still jumped to the floral skirt: "In the dream, you can return to your previous appearance."
The girl in the floral dress in Li Xu's dream looked as if she were still alive and still looked like a girl.
The girl in the floral dress looked at the ghost face and nodded nervously.
Xu Jiayuan told Floral Skirt the house number. Floral Skirt looked back at them before leaving. Li Xu smiled at her and said, "Go ahead. Don't let down the opportunity that Chi Shen fought for."
The woman in the floral dress bowed to them and disappeared into the night.
As soon as Floral Skirt and Ghost Face left, Li Xu's smiling face immediately turned into a worried look. He asked, "Will there be any problems?"
Chi Shen said: "It's okay, I'm ready for the aftermath."
Xu Jiayuan sighed and said, "I hope there is no need to deal with the aftermath, otherwise it will be troublesome if you want to apply for this kind of thing again in the future."
Chi Shen laughed and said, "Then let's try another method from now on."
This time, Chi Shen applied for the floral dress.
Chi Shen thought carefully about Floral Skirt's obsession. The person who harmed her was already dead. Besides the pain of bleeding to death, she was also tortured by the person she didn't see before she died.
He applied to the Special Security Bureau for permission to bring Floral Dress to pray for the soul to be reborn, so that she could meet the person she was thinking about so that her wish could be fulfilled and she could be reborn.
This application was submitted together with the application for the headless ghost. Yuan Yiping approved it, but the prerequisite was that the headless ghost had to be liberated first. The headless ghost was more terrifying than the floral skirt.
Last night the headless ghost realized his wish and found his head, so Chi Shen was able to wear a floral dress to find the person she wanted to see.
The person that Floral Skirt was looking for was also at the address given by the Special Security Bureau. Based on the information provided by Floral Skirt, they conducted a series of investigations and easily found that the person Floral Skirt wanted to see was called Duan Rongxi, a teacher who currently lived in the old city of Gangcheng, still taught, and had never married.
Yuan Yiping felt that this situation would allow the man and the ghost to meet each other, so he asked Xu Jiayuan to bring them over tonight.
——
The sky was like old gray rice paper, with yellow-brown stains on it becoming floating clouds.
It was a dirt and stone road with a pear orchard next to it. The pear blossoms had already faded and the new leaves had not all grown out, making the road look a bit desolate.
A girl in a blue and white floral dress was walking on the road. She was walking briskly with a smile on her face, but she suddenly stopped and even shook slightly.
"This is his dream," a pale ghost face suddenly appeared on the pear tree next to him, and the ghost face's pale mouth opened and closed, "He dreamed of you tonight, so you entered the dream and came here."
Seeing this horrifying scene, the girl was not afraid. She stared at the ghost face for a while, then looked into the depths of the pear orchard.
Ghostface looked a little uncertain. He hesitated and said, "It shouldn't happen...it won't happen."
He knew what the girl was afraid of. It was here that she met the murderer and was dragged into the pear orchard.
The girl shook her head and tried to smile, but it was a very stiff smile.
She hadn't laughed in a long time. Her body, which had lost blood, couldn't even control the expression on her face. She had no expression most of the time.
"Does it look good?" She stared at the ghost face and asked softly.
The ghost face looked at the girl for two seconds and said, "It looks good."
The girl was actually pretty, and her clothes were dressed in the style of the last century, giving her a unique charm. But her smile was a little stiff and scary.
"Really?" She gently pulled the corners of her mouth, trying to make herself smile more beautifully, "Will he be scared when he sees me?"
"You are really beautiful, very beautiful!" Ghost Face said immediately, and in order to make the girl believe it, he showed a very sincere look.
The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly stroked her hair, and her expression became somewhat innocent: "Today... I want to ask him if there is a girl he likes."
"--careful!"
Duan Rongxi, a man with gray hair, suddenly rushed over from the other end of the road, grabbed her floral skirt, and pulled her open to face the ghost face.
Gui Lian was actually a little confused. He didn't notice Duan Rongxi coming. He was just focusing on responding to the questions from Floral Skirt. Originally, he just wanted to let Floral Skirt go to see Duan Rongxi by herself, but now Duan Rongxi saw him. What should he do now?
"Evil ghost, don't even think about hurting her!" Duan Rongxi looked at the ghost face, his eyes slightly red, which was the anger accumulated over the years.
At that moment, Gui Lian understood that although he looked like a ghost face now, because he appeared on the pear tree, in Duan Rongxi's eyes, he became another representative.
Duan Rongxi mistook him for the villain Huang Qiang who took away the girl with floral skirt and killed her.
After realizing this, the expression on Guimian's face suddenly became very interesting. He looked at the floral skirt again, and it turned out that the floral skirt's eyes were already glued to Duan Rongxi.
Gui Lian didn't expect Floral Skirt to explain. He gritted his teeth, revealed a ferocious expression, looked at Duan Rongxi, and laughed like the villains on TV: "Don't even think about saving her today!"
The girl in the floral dress looked at him strangely, with a very puzzled expression, probably not understanding what the ghost face was trying to do.
Duan Rongxi looked around. This place was very deserted and there were no handy tools. He simply rushed over with a paving stone: "I will fight you today. Even if I die here, I will never let you hurt her again!"
The girl in the floral dress looked at this scene in shock, this seemed a bit beyond her expectations, and in her mind, Duan Rongxi had always been a sensible scholar, she never expected that he could be so passionate, especially now Duan Rongxi was not the same as he was more than 20 years ago. Although he was still in good health, anyone who saw him would call him uncle, and younger people would just call him grandpa.
In order to make the trick more realistic, Gui Lian fought tenaciously with Duan Rongxi, but was defeated in the end - after all, he only had a face and didn't even have hands, so how could he win!
Perhaps thinking that Gui Lian might come back again, Duan Rongxi chased Gui Lian away, turned around, grabbed the girl in the floral dress's hand and started running.
Duan Rongxi ran and shouted: "Don't go near that place!"
The floral dress was still the same as when she was young. The wind blew up her long hair, messing up the deliberately blown hairstyle she had created, but she smiled.
They ran away from the withered pear tree and ran all the way to the hillside full of wild flowers.
Duan Rongxi stopped, ran up to him in her floral skirt, and looked at him curiously: "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm happy." The man in his 50s had tears in his eyes. He didn't want the girl in the floral dress to see his miserable appearance. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but he didn't expect that the more he wiped away, the more tears came. Finally, he burst into tears, "I finally saved you once."
This teacher, who usually looked dignified, started crying without any image at all.
The girl in the floral dress looked at his tears, then looked away and turned to look at the hillside full of flowers. She smiled and said, "It's so beautiful here. Is this where you're waiting for me?"
"That day, I wanted to bring you here. I wanted to ask you, I have a stable job, a house in town, and my family is very open-minded. I want to ask you, I want to ask you...are you willing..."
Duan Rongxi could no longer utter the last words. His voice was choked and could not be heard clearly, and he finally started coughing violently.
When he finished coughing and looked up, he saw a young face in a floral dress.
Amid the mountains full of flowers, the girl in the floral dress looked at him and smiled, stretching out her hand: "I do."
Suddenly, the mountain wind blew, and wild flowers swayed all over the mountain. In this old dream, the dark clouds broke apart, and a ray of sunlight fell from the sky, sprinkling between the two people who had not seen each other for many years. One of them still looked young, and the other had gray hair.
On the hillside, the two embraced each other in the sunlight that penetrated the clouds.
At the bottom of the hill, the ghost face lay flat on the ground, trying to blow air to blow up the petals of the wild flowers on the hill, and then muttered to himself: "Why is it always me who gets hurt? It's fine if I get hurt physically, but my heart also gets hurt again. If it happens again next time, I'll charge you for mental damages!"
His ghost face was now full of pits and holes, all caused by Duan Rongxi. Thinking of how ruthless Duan Rongxi was, he began to feel scared belatedly. If this was not a dream, he felt that he might really die here.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Guilian left.
Allow time for the two of you to be alone together.
After all, the girl in the floral skirt is a ghost. As long as Duan Rongxi wakes up, she will come out naturally. There is no need to open a dream channel for her.
Guilian came out of the dream and looked out the window. Duan Rongxi did not close the window tightly when he slept. At this moment, the curtains were blown open and the street light shone in. That was the sunlight in Duan Rongxi's dream.
"That's great," Ghost Face sighed, "I don't know if I had anyone I loved while I was alive."
After saying that, he left Duan Rongxi's room.
Duan Rongxi didn't sleep for long. When the dream ended, he woke up and climbed out of bed. He touched his face, which was covered with tears.
