Chapter 72: The lover who doesn’t want to leave (Part 4)

[Ha? What did I miss? The story jumps so fast. Her dead ex-boyfriend and her current boyfriend were friends? And my current boyfriend still looks a lot like him?!]

[Let me go, isn’t this the real-life version of stand-in literature?]

[People’s stories and relationships are always more exciting than I thought. I’m ignorant and I love to watch them!]

[Whether she did it accidentally or on purpose, does her current boyfriend know? Wouldn’t it be too tragic if he didn’t know…]

Soon, Miss Liu narrated her current love story.

It turned out that her current boyfriend was also a high school classmate of hers Xiao Jiang. When they were in school, people in the class always said that they looked very similar. They were almost like long-lost brothers, and the two had a very good relationship.

Later, her current boyfriend went to another city when he was admitted to college, so he had no contact with them anymore.

It wasn’t until three years ago after Xiao Jiang’s death that Miss Liu, who was working as a veterinarian, met her current boyfriend who came to ask for treatment for his pet. This encounter was the beginning of their love story that only happens between male and female protagonists in novels.

At first, they just chatted and reminisced, but after a while, they discovered that this high school friend started chasing her.

At that time, Miss Liu was very resistant because she felt that she could not forget Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang went there to save her parents. How could she fall in love with someone else?

Moreover, her current boyfriend did look a bit like Xiao Jiang. When she looked at him, she always felt as if Xiao Jiang was still with her, which was unfair to him.

Miss Liu never expected that her current boyfriend would say that he understood her pain and was willing for her to treat him as Xiao Jiang to heal her wounds.

At first, Miss Liu felt very sorry and guilty, so she could only buy many gifts for her current boyfriend to make up for it. However, her current boyfriend has always been tolerant of her and caring. She gradually got over the pain of Xiao Jiang’s death.

At that time, she took care of Xiao Jiang’s parents as her parents and told her current boyfriend that she would take care of them in their old age in the future. The other party readily agreed, and even once drove the two elders to the airport in person.

After seeing him in person, Xiao Jiang’s parents came to ask Miss Liu secretly. Could it be that he had not yet come out of the shock and had found someone who looked like their son to numb herself?

But by that time, Miss Liu had already clearly realized that she liked her current boyfriend.

But just when she finally came out and wanted to develop further with her current boyfriend and start a family, Xiao Jiang suddenly appeared.

It frequently appeared in her dreams, looking at her with that resentful look.

Even if it doesn’t say a word, Miss Liu will be devastated every day when she wakes up. She knows that Xiao Jiang was accusing her of starting a new relationship.

Later, when she closed her eyes, she felt that Xiao Jiang was beside her. This completely affected her normal life and mental state, so she went on the show and wanted the masters on the show to see if they could send Xiao Jiang away safely.

Daisy was shocked to learn that Xiao Jiang was now with Miss Liu and said: “No wonder I feel a strange yin energy in you. It turns out that your ex-boyfriend has always been here…”

She looked at Miss Liu with some sympathy, hugged her for a while, and said: “I don’t know how to comfort you. If you need it, I am willing to try to communicate with this gentleman. After all, you are separated by yin and yang.”

Miss Liu forced a smile and said: “Thank you, Master Daisy. You are a good person. Thank you.”

After Daisy left the field, the next contestant was No. 10, Xi Haihong.

As an impermanent person, she naturally saw the ghost next to Miss Liu as soon as she came on stage.

Seeing such a special soul with the power of golden merit and a weak soul, she was stunned for a moment and asked: “Is this your relative? Or a lover?”

Miss Liu said: “Ex-boyfriend.”

Xi Haihong rubbed her chin and said with a strange expression: “Its soul is wrong.”

“This is not a fierce ghost or a resentful spirit. It should have been reincarnated honestly, but for some reason, the quality of its soul has changed. It has changed from an ordinary soul to… something strange. I don’t think I have seen this before. It seems to me that he is quite powerful when he is a ghost, but he is so weak now.”

Now she no longer cares about Miss Liu’s story. She was only curious about how this little soul became like this now.

After studying it for a long time, she took out the record of the Book of Life and looked through it again. Xi Haihong still didn’t understand what it was, but she was sure of one thing.

Xi Haihong raised her head and said to Ms. Liu:

“I don’t think it necessarily wants to haunt you, but something happened to the soul after death, and it was trapped in the human world. It may want to seek your help.”

“What?!”

Miss Liu was stunned when she heard this statement for the first time, and viewers in the comment area were asking who was right.

Xi Haihong coughed lightly and said: “Of course, this is just my intuition as an impermanent person. Its soul texture is very similar to that of the ‘Earth-bound Spirit’. I can’t give you an accurate answer whether it is or not.”

Host Liu nodded and said: “Okay, our No. 10 player Xi Haihong has brought another possible interpretation.”

“Is Xiao Jiang who stays by Ms. Liu’s side unwilling to leave and let go of his lover, or is he in an inexplicable situation and can’t leave? Next, we will invite our last contestant, No. 7 Gu Zhisang!”

When Gu Zhisang came on the stage, the barrage in the live broadcast room broke out again.

[I’ve been waiting for Sangsang to give us the answer. I want to see who guess what is Xiao Jiang!]

[Who said the competition is boring? Don’t you think the contestants in front are helping us to unravel the clues? Everyone can see a different perspective. Bai Ci is good at medicine. He Mitu is good at Gu and evil spirits. Daisy is good at looking at people’s hearts. It’s also fun to get clues bit by bit to find out the truth.]

[Am I the only one focusing on Sangsang? My wife is so beautiful. When can she get more exposure?]

[……]

Gu Zhisang walked to the center of the venue and greeted Host Liu, “Then I’ll start.”

Gu Zhisang also saw Xiao Jiang’s presence when she came up and was also surprised for a moment by its thin soul.

Such a weak ghost, why can it still appear here?

The filming location, where mystical masters gathered, was not only bright but also filled with yang energy and righteousness. These energies were very painful for a weak ghost.

If it were just an ordinary ghost, no matter how resentful or obsessed it was, it would temporarily stay away from the limelight.

After Gu Zhisang looked at it carefully a few times, she stayed motionless for a while. Suddenly, a rare ghost appeared in her mind, a kind of ghost that she had never seen before but had only seen when studying classics in the mountains.

It was this sudden thought that made her feel very interested. She looked at Miss Liu:

“Who is the ghost next to you? He was 26 years old when he died. There are big scars on his neck and face. He was burned to death.”

As soon as this description came out, everyone was secretly shocked again: It’s so accurate!

After learning that this young man, Xiao Jiang was Miss Liu’s ex-boyfriend, Gu Zhisang asked curiously: “What is your request?”

Miss Liu said nothing, but Gu Zhisang understood her silent meaning.

Gu Zhisang shrugged slightly and said in a cold tone: “Humans are really strange creatures.”

“You were the one who frantically wanted to keep it and turn it into a ‘Nian gui’, but now you are the one who wants it to disappear.”
