Chapter 32：Living in A Dream

Late at night.

After parking the car, Lin Wu opened the car door and was about to get down. But before he did so, he turned and glanced toward the empty car's interior, asking, "Would you be bored alone during the night?"

Pei Jianing whose body was covered in blood materialized. She tilted her head sideways and stared at him. After thinking for a while, she shook her head.

"Strange, don't you feel like watching the latest tv drama or play the latest games?" Lin Wu asked.

Xiao Qin that ghost, other than being unable to have intercourse or eat and drink, she spent her entire day watching dramas, movies, and playing games. She was even more comfortable compared to living humans.

Pei Jianing blinked and shook her head again.

"Alright, goodbye. See you tomorrow."

Lin Wu waved his hands at her and closed the car door. He then walked toward the building where his house was located.

He entered the lift and pressed the 9th floor.

Lin Wu was preparing to look for Xiao Qin and ask her a few questions regarding Pei Jianing while also checking if he could find that damnable 'Meng He'.

"Ding~"

After the lift stopped on the 9th floor, Lin Wu walked to the 901 unit. He hesitated for a while and just when he was preparing to press the doorbell, a face materialized from the door. After that, her chest, her shoulders, and her body appeared in full.

It was naturally none other than Xiao Qing. She was still in the same form as in the afternoon and appeared to be a young girl around 16-17 years of age. There was even some baby fat on her face.

"I haven't even knocked yet, why did you suddenly appear?" Lin Wu was astonished.

"I could sense that you are here." Xiao Qin rolled her eyes. She then spoke, "Let's go into the lift to speak. There are people already sleeping in the house."

"People?" Lin Wu had a bewildered look on his face.

Xiao Qin didn't say anything. She directly passed through his body, treating him like air. After that, she moved toward the lift.

When Lin Wu felt his body turning cold, she had passed through him. He could only follow her into the lift.

The lift door gradually closed.

"Alright, speak. What's the matter?" Xiao Qin stared at Lin Wu.

"Nothing much, I just feel somewhat puzzled."

Lin Wu leaned against the lift's wall and spoke, "That ghost wife of mine brought me to the place where she died. After that...the things I experienced should have been her memories. What's going on?"

"Yo, it seems that her obsession is really deep." Xiao Qin had a startled look on her face. She then explained, "That was the experience of how she formed her obsession. Because it was too deep, as long as she brought you to the place where it was formed, she would be able to pull you into her experiences."

"It's simply like me experiencing it for myself." Lin Wu sighed. He couldn't help but cast a glance at his legs.

Up until now, he still felt that it was his legs that were broken.

"You should feel fortunate." Xiao Qin laughed. "She didn't want to harm you and only wanted you to experience it from a first-person perspective. If not, if she truly let you sink into her obsession, you would really be in for it."

"Is that so?"

Lin Wu frowned. "I feel that she seemed to have forgotten many things that happened in the past. What's going on with this? She said she has killed someone before, but she can't remember who the person was. Also, before she killed that person, her location wasn't fixed inside that car of mine."

Xiao Qin was startled. "Seems like this malicious ghost wife of yours had another obsession before this. After she killed that person, that obsession dissipated. This would naturally cause her to not be able to remember it. But since she was knocked to death by the car, there's still one obsession remaining. This also caused her to reside in the car."

Lin Wu suddenly understood. He then lowered his head and sigh. "I already know who the person who drove the car and knocked her to death was. Sadly, that person has fled, and we also have no proof…"

"Oh ya."

Lin Wu suddenly inclined his head and turned to Xiao Qin as he asked, "You have so many connections with ghosts, can you help me to check this?"

Xiao Qin speechlessly glanced at him before helplessly saying, "Big brother, please. Ghosts are all humans who have not died completely. We are not deities or gods that know divine deduction. Living humans have the police and can investigate and monitor things. Wouldn't they be much more effective if they were to search when compared to me?"

"Alright then." Lin Wu shrugged. He also simply asked in the passing.

"Is there any other matter?" Xiao Qin lazily asked.

"Yes." Lin Wu nodded. After that, his expression turned heavy as he sighed. "Today, I experienced Pei Jianing's experiences. I really didn't expect the human heart would actually be so venomous and evil."

Xiao Qin involuntarily asked, "You want to talk about human nature with me?"

"I'm also not a philosopher, why would I discuss human nature, which is such a pain in the ass topic?" Lin Wu shook his head. A look of pain appeared on his face again as he continued to sigh. "I just feel that my mood is very bad now."

"Oh, you want me to coax you?" A flash of understanding appeared in Xiao Qin's mind. She then speechlessly continued, "Don't you have a wife? Why don't you go and bang her?"

"She doesn't allow me to bang," Lin Wu spoke.

"So you want to bang me? Hey brother, I'm a ghost." Xiao Qin had a look of innocence on her face.

"No, I don't want to bang you." Lin Wu shook his head. He then sincerely looked at her and asked, "Xiao Qin, are the two of us friends?"

"It can be considered so."

"In that case, shouldn't friends help each other out?"

"So?"

"Can you transform into the appearance of Superstar Lu Shaoyan? After that, hug my thigh and beg me for forgiveness. My mood would be better then."

"???"

Xiao Qin cast a look of contempt at him. "You are really a pervert. No wonder you are so full of yourself after your death."

Lin Wu coughed and explained, "No, it's just that I don't like Lu Shaoyan. Back then, as a sincere fan of her, I went to watch her concert and asked her for her autograph. However, she ignored me. Hence, my dream is for her to hug my thigh and beg me for forgiveness for her atrocious behavior back then."

Xiao Qin giggled. "As long as your dream is 'big' enough, you will be able to live in the dream."

Lin Wu had a look of grief on his face. "I know the possibility isn't great. Hence, I want you to transform into her, so I can 'practice' my reactions. After that, my mood would be better."

"You can slowly bask in your depression." Xiao Qin rolled her eyes at him. She then turned and vanished into thin air.

Lin Wu touched his nose, weren't they good friends?

She was not showing the code of friendship at all.

Just when he was preparing to press the lift button and head up to his house, Xiao Qin suddenly materialized from the thin air again.

"What's the matter?" Lin Wu's eyes brightened. "You want to hug my thigh?"

"Hug your stupid ghost head." Xiao Qin rolled her eyes. "I only want to remind you that you have to pay attention to your wrist. If the matchmaker finishes connecting a netherworld marriage to you, a red string will appear on your wrist. You should be careful."

"Red string?"

Lin Wu didn't have time to ask her anything, and the lass simply vanished again.

"What the hell?" Lin Wu mumbled.

When he reached home, his parents were already asleep.

He was too lazy to shower. Thus, after washing his face and brushing his teeth, he went to his room to lie down.

He had experienced many things today, and Lin Wu was also a little fatigued. He lay on his bed and fantasized for a while, but he soon drifted off into sleep.

In his dream, Superstar Lu Shaoyan was kneeling and crying before him while hugging his thigh, begging for his forgiveness. She even wanted to warm his bed to... hehehe.

But because he was worried the matchmaker might deem this as having an affair, he could only reject despite feeling pain.

Yet, Lu Shaoyan refused to accept it. She tore his clothes and violently pulled down his pants.

He felt a gust of cold wind blowing on him. It was so cold that he hurriedly hugged himself as he suddenly became more awake.

(Where's the wind from?)

Lin Wu turned over on his bed in a half-asleep state. He was still in a daze as he felt the gust of cold wind blowing in from the window. The curtains were blown aside by the wind, and it flitted past his face.

Strange, was the window not closed properly?

Lin Wu unwillingly opened his eyes, only to see a dark-red dress dancing in the cold wind. The dress would occasionally brush across his face too.

Following the red dress, he glanced upward…

This dark-red dress was in an ancient style; there was also a head with long hair that fluttered in the wind and…

A deathly pale and pallid face!
