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

He thought of his wife and son again.

"Alas..." Upon hearing this, Jiuge couldn't help but let out another "Alas."

Chapter 175 How many children do you plan to have? (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

"Is your sister-in-law shy?" asked a tall, thin, bespectacled, high-achieving male student next to her.

He took off his glasses and squinted curiously at Jiu Ge.

"So what's the answer? How many children do you plan to have?" The girl with heavy makeup and long brown hair, sitting next to the boy, leaned on his shoulder and asked.

The boy's name was Kong Long. He was a top student at a prestigious 985 university. He was a quiet, bookish person who died in an earthquake disaster.

He was studying in the library when he passed away.

The girl next to her, heavily made up, is named Chen Hua. Due to her family's poverty, she dropped out of school at a young age to earn money to support her family. She has a carefree and outspoken personality. After her death by chance, she met Kong Long and they became boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Whether we have a few of these kinds of children depends on what Jiuge thinks." An Chen patted Jiuge's head and put his arm around her waist.

Jiuge removed her hands from her face.

Because of the barrage of embarrassing remarks, her face turned deathly pale again.

"I...I'm not having children anymore..." Jiuge said in a desperate move, deciding that she would simply not have children.

“Yes, you can have ten if you want, or none if you don’t.” An Chen nodded calmly.

"Ten...you can have ten kids whenever you want?" Jiu Ge's mind went blank upon hearing An Chen's strange remarks.

Have ten...

If you have ten...

She took out her phone from the crevice of her short leather skirt and wanted to search on Baidu what it would be like to have ten children.

I turned on the screen, only to find that the phone had no signal at all.

That makes sense. There are spirits all around, and it's an illusion created by stone, so how could there possibly be a signal...?

Jiuge lowered her head and hugged it.

The amount of information is overwhelming. It includes things like liking well-behaved and sensible children, being able to have ten children, and not wanting to have any at all.

Her mind is currently completely unable to process the situation at hand.

It was just a meeting with a friend, a preliminary step before meeting my parents.

Now, Jiuge is experiencing what it feels like to actually meet her parents.

Zhang Zhidong sat to one side, holding Mao Mao Tou, and left the group chat.

As an outsider, all he needs to do is offer his blessings to the love and marriage of the people.

Other than that, you don't have to do anything.

An Chen looked at Jiu Ge, who was being held by him, with great interest, and his smile widened.

"I'm serious. I can choose not to have children or have ten if I want to," he said softly, lowering his head and bringing his face close to Jiuge's ear.

Jiuge's eyes darted around, and her shoulders trembled several times.

"Hmm... but having ten children would be a bit harmful to the body, so I think it's best to control the number at most." Ning Ru stroked her chin, her expression turning serious.

Clearly, like Jiuge, he took the number ten seriously.

As a professional doctor, Ning Ru certainly needs to have this level of knowledge.

Unless it's decombions, it would take more than ten years to give birth to one, and ten is basically the limit of a woman's fertility in her lifetime.

Not only do they drain your health and sacrifice your career, but they also easily cause problems.

According to doctors' data analysis, women should not have more than three cesarean sections, otherwise it will cause great harm to their bodies.

Jiuge's head drooped lower and lower.

This time, her face didn't turn red, but her ears turned completely red.

Oh no... does this mean I really have to have ten kids?

“That makes sense.” An Chen nodded at Ning Ru after hearing what she said.

These friends are all very enthusiastic. After meeting the parents this time, Jiuge's mindset will definitely undergo a qualitative leap.

“Sister-in-law Jiuge, you don’t need to be shy.” Another spirit, a short-haired girl who looked quiet, spoke from a distance.

"We're all family here, so it's fine to joke around, chat about our thoughts, or just ramble. It's okay to say things we wouldn't normally dare to say," the unshaven middle-aged man holding the quiet girl said calmly.

“Yes, yes.” The surrounding spirits nodded in agreement.

Initially, they received news that An Chen was going to introduce his girlfriend to them.

Everyone was a little nervous.

In the values ​​of most modern people, death is the end of life, and there is no such thing as a soul.

Therefore, most spirits that still linger in the human world are very lonely.

The proportion of spirits in the human world is still too small compared to the number of living people, and not all spirits are normal and good spirits.

There are very few spiritual friends with whom one can truly confide, and the number of people who can see them is pitifully small, almost nonexistent.

Aside from psychics and other spirits, no one else can encounter them.

Therefore, being treated as if they were still alive, and even being invited as ordinary "people" by living friends, was an immense blessing for all the spirits present, except for the energetic Zhang Zhidong and Mao Maotou.

The same goes for Kong Long's girlfriend Chen Hua and the quiet girl with short hair. Although they didn't have much contact with An Chen, they learned a lot about An Chen from their partners.

So even in the illusion, even though the beautiful sister-in-law they met tried her best to greet them, she still gave them a cold aura. They still wanted to make the atmosphere as lively as possible and make the ceremony that An Chen had carefully prepared for his girlfriend to meet his friends as warm and festive as possible.

Now, seeing the shy Jiuge, everyone can relax and communicate with her more easily.

"Is it okay... to joke around? Or just chat?" Jiuge looked up and took a deep breath.

These were words I had never heard in a crowd before.

Ignoring her embarrassment, she mustered her courage and looked around.

The music in the private room continued, but no one picked up the microphone to sing anymore.

Mao Maotou sat obediently on Zhang Zhidong's lap, and even yawned.

Everyone looked at her and An Chen with gentle expressions, their demeanor unusually tender.

“Yes, An Chen is our best friend, and our only living friend.” Ning Ru stood up and poured out a large bag of snacks and drinks that An Chen had brought from the table.

“Here, we can even eat and drink things that you can only eat and drink when you're alive,” he added with a smile, sharing snacks with his “friends” around him.

Normally, they can only eat offerings in spirit form when someone makes offerings; they can't touch real food.

"So, sister-in-law, you don't need to be so formal at all." Chen Hua naturally took the canned drink that Ning Ru handed him.

If they were outside, they wouldn't even be able to actually touch these things that only living people can touch.

She opened the drink lid, opened her mouth, and gulped it down in one go.

The water flowed slowly down Chen Hua's throat without leaking through her body, and she didn't have any problem swallowing it.

Chapter 176 A Mighty Man Sheds Tears (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Jiuge nodded nervously and accepted the candy and drinks that Ningru offered.

An Chen secretly gave Ning Ru a thumbs up.

Then, he took a handful of melon seeds from a bag and began to slowly crack them open.

"Boss, do you and your wife want to sing something too?" Qin Ye sat down next to the karaoke machine, flipped through the pages, and looked back at An Chen and Jiu Ge.

An Chen placed a few melon seeds into Jiu Ge's palm.

"What do you want to sing?" He gently poked Jiu Ge's cheek and leaned closer to ask in a soft voice.

“I…I want to sing… ‘Transparent Wings’.” Jiu Ge took a bite of a sunflower seed and carefully uttered the title of a song that sounded like an old-fashioned song.

She actually knows quite a few songs, but she only heard most of them by chance and can't remember the titles.

If Jiuge had to name a song right now, she could only think of the theme song for "Little Ear TuTu" and "Transparent Wings".

"What a great song! Qin Ye, you should order it for them! This song was the most popular during the last two years of my life. Back then, it was played everywhere, and almost everyone knew it." The middle-aged man who was eating dried plums was so excited when he heard Jiu Ge mention the song title that he almost burst into tears.

He patted his thigh and fell into memories.

Back then, everyone was still using mobile phones, and many people had a very thick lyric book.

Many female colleagues would even paste many celebrity stickers into their lyric books during their spare time.

Songs like "The First Snow of 1999," "Three Butterflies," and "Michael Wong's Fairy Tale" are all classic hits that everyone can sing.

Many years later, during an earthquake, countless children sang "Invisible Wings" together, sending blessings and strength to the disaster victims far away.

For children born today, most of these songs are already relics of a bygone era.

Hearing this nostalgic song title here again, the middle-aged man actually raised his arm to wipe away his tears.

I wasn't going to cry just now, but now that I'm recalling this, I can't help but shed tears.

In this illusion, tears are real, warm, and full of emotion.

The other spirits present also had some unique feelings about the song.

None of us are newly deceased spirits; we all passed away some years ago.

“Brother, you don’t need to be so sad. We’re all dead, it’s all the same.” Ning Ru misunderstood the middle-aged man’s meaning.

He patted the other person on the shoulder, his expression also somewhat melancholy.

This gathering occasionally gave even the usually rational and serious Ning Ru the illusion that she was still alive.

Not to mention other spirits.

The instrumental music for "Transparent Wings" begins slowly.

As the rhythm changed, An Chen and Jiu Ge took the microphones and began to sing together.

"I finally see all my dreams blossom, the youth I chased."
