What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Putting aside the real money, he suddenly thought of those "suffocating" series on Taobao that made people feel breathless and women weep.

"The second one I sent was a small cake that I made myself with fruit. According to the housekeeper, when my mother saw it, she only said, 'These bananas are almost black.'" Jiuge said, her expression quite helpless.

An Chen remained silent.

"The third gift was a limited edition necklace from the well-known brand xxxx. I heard that after my mother received it, she said, 'What a waste of money.'"

“…” An Chen remained silent.

"The fourth gift I received was a whole stack of certificates of merit, and my mother said I should keep up the good work."

"Alright, I understand, no need to reminisce." An Chen quickly interrupted Jiu Ge's recollection.

"We can find a suitable gift together again." He gave an awkward laugh.

If going out causes Jiuge to recall unpleasant experiences and worsen her mood, then it's not worth it.

Although the main purpose of this trip was shopping, it also served as a formal date.

"Okay, sure." Jiuge interrupted her reminiscence and nodded obediently.

As soon as he finished speaking, two drinks were brought over by the staff.

A few seconds later, An Chen noticed a long-haired, curly-haired spirit floating towards the boy sitting at the opposite table with his back to them.

Chapter 135 The Unfinished Bond Between Human and Spirit

"I want to drink this pink rose milk tea." After taking several sips from both cold drinks with the straw inserted, Jiuge finally made her choice.

Perhaps because it wasn't an evil spirit that suddenly floated over, and it's normal for there to be a few ordinary spirits nearby, she didn't notice what was happening behind her.

"That's... Hua Zi?" Without answering Jiu Ge's question about the drinks, An Chen squinted and looked ahead.

"Hua Zi?" Upon hearing this, Jiu Ge subtly tilted her head and followed An Chen's gaze.

"Aww..." The next second, she was so frightened by the sight of the curly-haired female spirit that she immediately turned around.

"Although I couldn't see his face, judging from his aura, this person is indeed Hua Zi." An Chen picked up another cup of fruit bucket tea that Jiu Ge had discarded and took a sip.

“I saw it out of the corner of my eye, it looked like him… Can he see spirits?” Jiuge asked in a low voice.

Because they were facing each other, the views they could see were noticeably different.

She had no doubt about what An Chen said.

Jiuge also knew that An Chen's abilities were even stronger than she had imagined.

Ever since she learned that An Chen was the mysterious person, she even began to worry about whether he would even look at the various mission rewards that would be sent to him in the future.

At this moment, the curly-haired spirit sat opposite Hua Zi.

On the small table, Hua Zi had a drink in front of him, and the female spirit opposite him also had a drink that he had just pushed to her.

"It seems like it can't see them, but it also seems to know that there are spirits on the other side." An Chen was also puzzled.

Hua Zi had no interaction with the female spirit, and judging from the aura he sensed, the other party's gaze was not focused on the female spirit.

Because he didn't want the female spirit to discover that he could also see spirits, he didn't want to stare too openly.

An Chen released a slightly misleading aura to avoid being noticed, and continued to keep a close watch.

The female spirit had already placed her mouth on the straw.

Although the drink looked untouched, its color had clearly faded a bit.

If Hua Zi were to take a puff at this moment, he would definitely feel very clearly that the sweetness is basically gone.

"How about... we go?" Jiuge asked tentatively.

She wasn't sure what An Chen wanted to do.

An Chen glanced at Hua Zi out of the corner of his eye, while still slurping up fruit juice.

"I'll leave in a bit and check things out first. I've always thought Hua Zi was suspicious," he said in a low voice.

“That makes sense.” Jiu Ge frowned as well, recalling the incident caused by Hua Zi.

"What are you thinking?" Jiuge couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable thinking about the female spirit sitting behind her.

“Many things are related to Zhang Zhidong, but Zhang Zhidong is innocent. Combining what the little boy said when the hearse was being driven that day, it can only mean that he was indeed being targeted by someone because of his own strength.” An Chen analyzed carefully.

"And you suspect that all of these things are related to the Phantom?" Jiuge took a sip of her pink rose milk tea.

It tastes really good, and there are actually rose petals inside.

“Hmm, otherwise the actions of the man who regarded Zhang Zhidong as his benefactor would be inexplicable. If he turned into an evil spirit because he was trying to resurrect Zhang Zhidong or because he couldn’t accept the death of his benefactor, then he should have turned into one immediately after Zhang Zhidong’s death.” An Chen continued to analyze in a low voice.

Furthermore, he found it hard to believe that someone could become an evil spirit simply because they couldn't accept the death of their benefactor.

Aside from having an extremely extreme personality, the only other possibility is that they were misled or something similar.

"Do you think anyone can actually exchange lives?..." Just thinking about this possibility made Jiuge feel a chill run down her spine.

No matter how she thought about it, she always felt that exchanging the lives of the living for the resurrection of the dead was wrong, regardless of the reasons.

“I’m not sure, but it’s not surprising that someone would want to try something like this,” An Chen pondered.

"I just don't know what connection Hua Zi has with these things." As he spoke, his expression turned serious.

“Hmm. I also feel that although he saw the female spirit, he seemed to know of her existence.” Jiuge mustered her courage and tilted her head slightly to the back.

The female spirit continued to sip her drink.

Hua Zi stared at the air in front of him, his expression... somewhat like that of a pervert.

From An Chen's perspective, the other person's expression when looking at Hua Zi was also tender and affectionate, just like the expression of a woman in love looking at her beloved man.

"But we probably won't get any useful information here. Let's go. If we keep watching, we'll only see scenes of unresolved emotions between humans and spirits." An Chen thought for a moment and decided to take Jiu Ge shopping first.

He could delegate the task of conducting investigations to his "subordinates".

"Leaving him here, won't that female spirit do anything?" Jiuge's eyes widened, her expression serious.

Although she had never seen a movie like "The Ghost of Cindy" that depicted a love story between a human and a spirit, she still imagined terrifying scenarios.

“This female spirit is harmless, don’t worry. I’ll have someone keep an eye on Hua Zi later,” An Chen said, and couldn’t help but pat Jiu Ge’s head again.

He also liked Jiu Ge's overly serious demeanor due to her strong sense of justice.

"Hmm... but what's Hua Zi's name?" Jiu Ge noticed the blind spot.

“This…” An Chen fell silent.

"Anyway, let's go first..." he said, standing up.

……

As soon as An Chen and Jiu Ge left, the temperature in the milk tea shop dropped.

"What's going on? Is the temperature set too low?" Several shop assistants shivered in the work area.

They hugged each other's arms, but instead of leaving, they started looking around the workbench for the remote control.

But for some reason, there was no remote control anywhere.

Further away, the interaction between Hua Zi and the female spirit became increasingly ambiguous.

"I like you so much." The female spirit cupped her face and looked at Hua Zi with a dreamy expression.

"You've followed me for so long, when will you come with me?" As she spoke, her lips touched the drink, which no longer tasted sweet.

On the other side, Hua Zi obviously didn't hear it.

But for some reason, his body suddenly reacted and started to move.

"Hehehehe, I like you so much, even though I can't see you anymore." Hua Zi also cupped her face in her hands.

"But it's okay. Even if I can't see you, I can imagine what you look like right now. I know you're right in front of me, and I love you." His expression was somewhat melancholy.

"It's been so many days now, I've been waiting for so long." The female spirit reacted very excitedly upon hearing Hua Zi's words.

She floated up.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Hua Zi, stroking his head, which she couldn't reach.

"I love you too, I love you so much, come with me, come with me," the female spirit murmured.

As she read, non-existent tears streamed down her face.

Chapter 136 is for you, don't you like it?

"After we finish shopping today, shall we go see a movie?" An Chen suddenly asked as they got on the escalator.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people around, he expressionlessly pinched Jiuge's slender waist with his free hand.

Luckily, An Chen carried a bag; otherwise, with an umbrella and drinks, he wouldn't have been able to free up one hand.

"Ugh... Okay, where do I see it?" Jiuge was stunned, clearly not having reacted yet.

"Why did you suddenly pinch my waist?" The next second, she shook the milk tea in her hand and said reproachfully with a blush on her face.

"These are normal things between couples. I just wanted to do similar things from time to time so you could get used to it in advance," An Chen explained seriously.

Of course, this is a very normal thing; he just guessed it and didn't really verify it.

"As for the movie, there's a cinema on the fifth floor. You can just come with me there," An Chen added.

"Oh, I see." Jiuge nodded, accepting An Chen's explanation.

That seems to make sense.

She tossed her hair with one hand and said nothing more.

Dawan Plaza is very large. An Chen and Jiu Ge wandered around the winding shopping area for a long time, eliminating several unsuitable shops, before finally finding a new gift shop that looked very high-end.

Midway through, An Chen wanted to take Jiu Ge to a clothing store and buy her a couple of outfits.

Unfortunately, all Jiuge could think about was choosing a gift.

The gift shop on the third floor of Dawan Plaza occupies three times the size of a regular shop and is exceptionally beautifully decorated.

You don't need to use your phone's filters; just take a picture with the original camera to achieve the same filter effect.

From a distance, one might mistake this shop for a high-end coffee shop.
