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

……

590th floor: "It's been so long? What's the follow-up? Where are they?"

……

The post was so long that An Chen and Jiu Ge read it for a very long time.

They both fell silent after turning off the screen.

"It really does look like that," Jiuge commented.

"We'll find out whether there's a problem or not when we get there." An Chen glanced at the time and helped Jiu Ge to her feet.

Chapter 114 Seeking a Marriage

At 9:55 a.m., An Chen and Jiu Ge stood at the hotel entrance.

In order to avoid being discovered by Mr. Huang that the two were dating, they did not hold hands this time.

After waiting for five minutes, at exactly 10 o'clock, a Jeep pulled up in front of An Chen and Jiu Ge.

The rear window rolled down, and a woman with gray hair and sunglasses said to the two of them, "Hello, please get in the car."

"Get in the car." Immediately afterwards, Old Huang's voice came from the front of the car.

An Chen and Jiu Ge exchanged a glance, nodded to the woman, and opened the back door to get in the car.

As she walked towards the car, Jiuge expressionlessly walked past An Chen and sat down next to the woman first.

"Pfft." An Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sitting in front of Jiuge, he couldn't help but secretly squeeze Jiuge's fingers.

Jiuge gave a silent "humph" through her nose.

"Haha, she's my daughter," Old Huang, sitting next to the driver, turned and introduced.

"Jingjing, these two are a very formidable duo in our association." Old Huang pointed at An Chen and Jiu Ge with his worn-out cane.

"I've known about Sister Jiuge for a long time."

"I've heard so much about you." Jingjing bypassed Jiuge and extended her hand to An Chen with a smile.

"Nice to meet you." An Chen smiled politely.

Jingjing hadn't retracted her hand yet, as if she wanted to shake hands with him.

"Hello." Upon seeing this, Jiuge smiled perfectly and took Jingjing's hand in place of Anchen.

After shaking hands for two seconds, the two took their hands back.

Let's go.

Old Huang turned around, gave the order, and the car started moving.

"Hey handsome, buddy." As soon as the car started moving, Jingjing glanced at An Chen and spoke again.

Although he doesn't usually attract much attention, if you look closely, you'll find that An Chen is actually quite handsome.

“I’m pretty ordinary…” An Chen suddenly panicked a little.

Sure enough, Jiuge's hand had already quietly pinched his back.

"Dad told me about you two. I already knew that Sister Jiuge was a super beautiful woman, but I didn't expect her new partner to be so handsome." Jingjing took off her sunglasses, revealing her somewhat charming eyes.

She had put on quite nice and delicate makeup, which showed that she had put in a lot of effort.

"You flatter me." Jiu Ge turned her body to the side expressionlessly, trying her best to shield An Chen with her slender frame.

Jingjing acted as if she hadn't seen Jiuge's actions, and kept staring straight at An Chen.

"I'm taking you to the Red Mandarin Duck Temple this time for two reasons: first, to give you some fun, and second, because I also want to pray for a good marriage for my precious daughter," Old Huang said leisurely from the front.

"Cough... I haven't been able to find a good match for Jingjing. There aren't any boys at school that Jingjing likes either," he added, coughing.

Upon hearing Elder Huang's words, An Chen clearly noticed that Jiu Ge's brows furrowed slightly.

At this point, he had pretty much guessed it.

While testing An Chen, Old Huang also wanted to act as a pimp.

"Dad, really... you're so blunt." Jingjing touched her lips with her finger, looking a little shy.

“Yes, going to the Red Couple Temple can indeed help you pray for marriage. I’ve heard that the results are quite quick, usually not too long, and you’ll meet your ideal partner in the future,” An Chen replied with a smile.

"..." Jiuge remained silent.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be in the future. I've heard that people you've met before can also get together after making a wish." Jingjing touched the jade bracelet on her arm.

An Chen remained silent.

He suddenly felt that he should have come up with a bunch of excuses to cover up the past few days of fun yesterday.

“It’s a pity you haven’t met someone you like yet,” Jiuge suddenly said.

She tossed her hair, her expression very obedient.

“That’s in the past. Maybe we’ll run into each other today,” Jingjing retorted with a smile.

"..." Jiuge remained silent.

"Old Huang, are you aware of those strange rumors about the Red Mandarin Duck Temple?" Seeing that things were not going well, An Chen chuckled and changed the subject.

"I've heard of it," Old Huang replied.

“But that’s normal. There are so many temples in the world, it’s not surprising that one or two of them are actually sacred temples,” he added.

"Oh, I see. I've learned something new." An Chen nodded without saying anything else.

"Hey bro! You've been following these things too? I have too!" Jingjing said with a delighted expression.

"I never expected we'd hit it off so well." She clapped her hands as she spoke.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence! I think you two should chat more; maybe you'll have a pleasant surprise after visiting the Red Mandarin Duck Temple." Old Huang laughed heartily.

He was laughing for a while when he coughed again.

"It's not that I'm interested, it's because Jiuge is more concerned about the authenticity of this matter, so I looked up some information." An Chen looked out the window and touched his brow.

He suddenly realized that it would be better if he didn't focus his attention on the car.

"That means you're interested, otherwise you wouldn't have investigated." Jingjing seemed not to understand An Chen's meaning and continued talking to herself.

"It's fate, it's fate," Old Huang echoed.

“…” An Chen continued to admire the scenery.

“I’m quite interested too. Jingjing, could you tell us the results of your investigation?” Jiuge asked calmly.

"Yes, that's right. It's that popular post on the paranormal case study forum," Jingjing recalled.

"..."

If Jiuge remembers correctly, she and Anchen also read that post.

"Yeah, that post was really strange. None of the people who said it was effective posted anything afterward. I'd like to know what happened next." Jiuge looked at Jingjing and gave her a pure smile.

Jealousy is one aspect, but genuine concern is another.

She possesses an extremely stubborn spirit when it comes to a sense of justice and responsibility.

“I actually know that.” Jingjing returned Jiuge’s smile with a bright smile.

"The details of their relationship are unclear. However, it is said that after their wish was granted, they kept having the same dream, and the background of the dream was always the Red Mandarin Duck Temple."

Experts spoke with them and concluded it was all psychological. However, rumors later circulated that the scenes of the Red Mandarin Duck Temple they dreamed of each day matched the events of that day.

She opened her phone and found a screenshot.

Dream Records:

It's been a month, and it's the same dream again...

"Dong. Dong." The ethereal sound of the bell from the Red Mandarin Duck Temple rang out.

As night fell, the enormous Bodhi tree stood out starkly before me, just as always.

The surrounding courtyard walls are apricot yellow, and behind them are ancient buildings shrouded in mist.

The dream remained the same as before; I could go in any direction, wherever I wanted, even leaving the Red Mandarin Duck Temple. The only difference was that I couldn't get even half a step closer to the Bodhi tree, or I would immediately wake up.

It's not impossible to leave the Red Mandarin Duck Temple directly, but even if you go out, you won't wake up at all, and you'll eventually have to return to the Bodhi Tree.

He had never tried to go any further, and he had never seen the scenery outside the Red Mandarin Duck Temple before. Going too far would only make it easier to get lost.

And I always see strange things...

Although it was in a dream, I could still feel it.

I felt my tongue was a little numb, like I had accidentally bitten into a peppercorn that had no specific flavor.

I don't know when this strange dream will end...

There is no "person" living in Chapter 115.

Perhaps it was because Jingjing's voice was too vivid when she read the screenshot, but Jiuge felt a chill in the car and her head felt a little numb.

"Why was the air conditioner temperature suddenly turned down?" Noticing Jiu Ge's uneasy expression, An Chen turned around and asked.

"Excuse me, I just felt the atmosphere was perfect for doing this." Old Huang nudged the driver with his old cane.

The driver turned the air conditioning temperature back down.

"..." Jiuge was speechless.

"Those posts and stuff have all been deleted, but luckily I managed to take a few screenshots." Jingjing continued scrolling through her phone screen.

"Do you want to keep listening? I have a few more screenshots," she asked mysteriously in a low voice.

“If the content is similar, then we don’t need to…” Jiuge rubbed her forehead.

She thought that after graduating from university, Jingjing could totally apply for a radio host job, the kind that broadcasts horror radio shows...

Just hearing the other party read out that one screenshot, Jiuge's cells started frantically sounding SOS warnings.
