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

She shook her head and quickly returned to the living room.

The breakfast porridge laid out on the coffee table was still steaming slightly.

After glancing around, Jiuge tried to shake off some unnecessary and boring thoughts and began to drink the porridge in big gulps.

A few days ago, when her class was scheduled for earlier in the day, she would order takeout early in the morning.

Of course, when ordering, Jiuge would also order one for Anchen.

Compared to An Chen, who is a culinary genius, she felt like a complete failure in life...

Last night, Jiuge realized that even though they had only known each other for a short time, An Chen had already been so considerate of her.

If An Chen can do this much, he must either really like her or he really likes her!

Thinking of this, Jiuge's hand holding the bowl trembled.

For so many days, An Chen hadn't even let her help wash the dishes!

Because she felt she couldn't take other people's kindness for granted, she deliberately slowed her pace when going upstairs after meals the first few times, thinking An Chen would ask her for help, but he didn't respond at all.

Having always been used to being liked by most people, Jiuge didn't even notice.

However, the fact that she noticed An Chen's affection for her indicates that something is starting to go wrong with her as well.

Jiuge felt that this series of interconnected deductions was very reasonable and extremely consistent with the current situation.

Ultimately, the matter of Aunt's spirit is also...

Even if she were dating someone from her family, it should be someone she's closer to, but she dreamt about An Chen, whom she'd only known for a few days...

Does this mean...?

After shaking her head vigorously, Jiuge patted her cheeks.

She took the bowl into the kitchen, rinsed it with water, and then left with her bag.

I glanced at my phone; it was just past nine o'clock.

Jiuge's class today was completely different from Anchen's.

Classes in the morning start at 10:00 AM, so there's still plenty of time.

Because the community is relatively upscale, the area is quite spacious, and it takes a little time to walk to the entrance.

As they approached the security booth, Jiuge noticed a somewhat familiar figure standing next to the security guard.

She glanced at him for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly widened.

Has Zhang Zhidong been resurrected?

The Zhang Zhidong before them no longer emitted that touching golden light; he even had a physical form and could communicate with people.

Jiuge felt her worldview crumble, and she stood there stunned...

Is this a physical entity, a possession of something, or an illusion?

Throughout history, Jiuge has been considered, if not omniscient and omnipotent, at least well-read in the entire spiritual communication circle.

"That's right! This is my brother!"

While she was still in a daze, a deafening sound came from above.

The surrounding temperature has also increased considerably.

"I hope Ms. Jiuge will take good care of my brother in the future!" Zhang Zhidong added in a loud voice when he saw that Jiuge did not look up at him.

"Oh, it's your brother."

Hearing Zhang Zhidong's explanation, Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief and muttered something under her breath.

Although she didn't think Zhang Zhidong's younger brother needed her care, thankfully her worldview was restored.

"Beautiful lady, are you facing any difficulties?"

Zhang Zhidao had already noticed Jiu Ge's brief glance over his shoulder.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Jiuge still hadn't spoken, he took the initiative to walk towards her.

They're definitely brothers; even their way of addressing each other is so similar.

Jiuge sighed inwardly.

“That’s right! He’s my brother!” Zhang Zhidong added from above.

Jiuge ignored him.

"Why did the temperature suddenly rise again? Oh my, isn't this Jiuge?" The security guard put on his reading glasses and observed Jiuge, who was dressed in plain clothes and looked like she hadn't recovered yet.

He knew about Jiuge.

Several years ago, when Jiuge had just moved in, the head of her family came by and asked him to keep an eye on Jiuge.

The reason is that some people in Jiuge have a poor sense of direction and may easily get lost in the community.

"Uncle, do you know this lady?" Zhang Zhidao turned around and glanced at the security guard.

Hearing his uncle's remark about the temperature, he patted his head and smiled憨厚ly, "It is indeed strange. In the past six months, including winter, the temperature in my house has been rising quite a bit from time to time."

"..."

Jiuge stared coldly at the two people in front of her with a blank expression, feeling somewhat devastated inside.

For some reason, she has never been very good at communicating normally with people.

"So, Ms. Jiuge, what difficulties have you encountered?" Zhang Zhidao looked Jiuge up and down with great concern, as if trying to find out the reason.

Although my gaze didn't linger on him for more than a few seconds, the fact that I stood there stunned for a long time speaks volumes.

“That’s right! He is my younger brother!” Floating in the air, Zhang Zhidong saw that Jiu Ge hadn’t spoken yet in response to the question, and wondered if she didn’t believe him.

"I'm fine. I just accidentally mistook him for that great people's hero in the newspaper." Jiu Ge explained truthfully after glancing at Zhang Zhidao.

“Oh! Zhang Zhidong is my twin brother.” Zhang Zhidong’s eyes lit up when he mentioned his brother.

“He was a great man, and I have always respected him. I have always looked up to him as a role model since I was a child. After he died in the line of duty, I…” He looked a little sad as he said this.

The security guard patted Zhang Zhidao on the shoulder to comfort him, and then returned to the security office.

"I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad..." Jiuge's shoulder twitched, and her expression began to become somewhat subtle.

She looked at Zhang Zhidao with some concern and began to reflect on her mistake.

"It's alright... I will do my duty and fulfill my brother's last wish."

Zhang Zhidao looked up, smiled sheepishly, and handed a business card to Jiuge.

“I also live in this community. If you, Ms. Jiuge, encounter any difficulties or problems that you cannot solve, you can contact me at any time,” he added.

"Thank you." Jiuge nodded and accepted the business card.

She glanced at the information on the business card, then at Zhang Zhidao, before turning and walking straight out of the community.

I made the same judgment in Chapter 29.

"How about it? My brother's pretty good, isn't he!"

After leaving the community, Zhang Zhidong was still floating behind Jiu Ge.

He always gets very excited whenever his younger brother is mentioned.

Jiuge nodded without saying a word, and simply walked straight ahead.

I was initially worried that Mao Mao Tou, who wasn't with Zhang Zhidong, might suddenly jump out.

As she walked, she was surprised to find that after Zhang Zhidong followed her, the spirits by the roadside drifted away at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, at the speed of light.

An Chen was right; Zhang Zhidong's spirit was indeed incredibly effective.

Jiuge suddenly realized that An Chen had been wholeheartedly considering her needs from a much earlier time.

Yet she remained cold and indifferent to An Chen from time to time, completely oblivious to his behavior.

Jiuge began to deeply reflect on herself.

“My brother used to stick to me every day when he was very young! Although he wasn’t very talented, he always worked very hard!” Zhang Zhidong recalled.

Back then, the two brothers did everything together. Because of his amazing learning ability and other talents, the younger brother, Zhang Zhidao, would often show a very sad expression.

“Back then, I was always worried that he would lack confidence because of me. Now that I’ve achieved glory, I feel relieved.” His tone became very normal as he said this.

After speaking, Zhang Zhidong looked back at the direction behind him with a hint of lingering nostalgia.

"I don't agree with what you said." Hearing Zhang Zhidong's words, Jiuge came back to her senses, glanced around, and whispered her opinion.

"He definitely doesn't think the same way you do."

When she spoke, her expression and tone were indifferent.

"Haha, is that so? That's right!" Zhang Zhidong laughed heartily.

He could roughly guess that Jiuge was encouraging herself in her unique way.

"..." Jiuge remained silent.

"Alright! Then I won't follow you anymore, lest that guy get jealous." Zhang Zhidong suddenly stopped talking about his brother and stopped floating forward.

"That guy? You mean An Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuge abruptly stopped in her tracks.

She picked up her phone and pretended to make a call, her face slightly flushed.

“That’s right! It’s An Chen!” Zhang Zhidong exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Jiuge trembled slightly, and her entire face turned bright red.

“As expected… as expected, An Chen…” She pinched the bag strap with her other hand, feeling a little flustered.

"What's wrong with An Chen? Was he already jealous before?" Zhang Zhidong understood what Jiu Ge meant.

"It was my oversight! It's my fault! I'm so sorry, Ms. Jiuge!"

He was too careless before and didn't notice.

"An Chen is jealous of you because of me?" Jiu Ge held up her phone and moved to the corner.
