Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: True or False?

Since I encountered that eerie female corpse, strange things have been happening around me. It's already a miracle that I didn't pee my pants on the spot when I saw her again.

My actions caught the attention of those around me. Huang Po also woke up and looked at me and Jiang Lixin blankly.

Jiang Lixin's face flushed with shame and anger. She was about to come over and hit me.

"Chen Feng, what do you mean? You blocked me on all contacts. And now that you see me, you act like this. Are you not going to take responsibility? Are you going to be a scumbag?"

At that moment, I still hadn't come to my senses and was still in fear. I dodged Jiang Lixin.

Seeing me avoiding her, Jiang Lixin misunderstood me immediately. She started crying and wiping her tears, scolding me for being a scumbag who slept with her and then abandoned her, blocking her and ignoring her.

After the incident, I blocked all of Jiang Lixin's contacts. I couldn't even tell if she was a human or a ghost. What's the use of keeping the contacts?

It was really embarrassing now. Onlookers love gossips the most. In no time, a crowd gathered to watch the show.

I originally thought there was something wrong with Jiang Lixin. But now, her performance made me uncertain.

Could it be that I was really wrong? She seemed completely unaware. Did I wrong her?

But if she was really that female corpse, wouldn't I be walking into a trap by contacting her now?

When I was in a bind, I saw the huge Buddha statue in Dashan Temple. I quickly said, "Lixin, have you ever visited Dashan Temple? It's very effective here. I'll accompany you to pay respects and then talk to you later."

I've already figured it out. If there's something strange about Jiang Lixin right in front of me, she definitely can't enter Dashan Temple, a temple with strong spiritual energy. If she's okay, I can date her without worry.

Jiang Lixin hesitated for a moment and made a request. "Then you have to pray with me for marriage."

"Sure, no problem." I immediately agreed.

Jiang Lixin is a school beauty. She has top - notch looks and figure, and her family is wealthy. If we really get along and get married, I won't lose out at all.

As long as I can confirm that she's not that evil female corpse, marrying her would be a dream come true.

Now that those strange things are over, I should plan for the future.

I led Jiang Lixin into Dashan Temple and worshipped all the way.

I kept secretly observing Jiang Lixin's situation. She showed no abnormalities along the way, except that she gasped slightly when climbing the nearly a hundred steps to the main hall.

But this isn't a big deal. It's normal for girls who don't work out often to have poor stamina.

After worshipping around in Dashan Temple, my hanging heart finally settled down. It seemed that Jiang Lixin in front of me wasn't that evil female corpse.

After coming out of Dashan Temple, Jiang Lixin said, "Chen Feng, now you can tell me. You can't quarrel in a Buddhist pure land. Now that we're out, you should explain it clearly to me."

"Let's go wait for the bus. I'll tell you while we wait."

"I drove here. Let's go back by car and talk on the way. If you don't explain it clearly to me, I'll go to your workplace and make a scene, so that your boss knows you're a scumbag."

When the three of us got to the parking lot, we found that Jiang Lixin had driven an Audi. She's really a bona - fide rich and beautiful girl!

Huang Po couldn't help but secretly give me a thumbs - up. The meaning was obvious: Dude, you're so lucky!

I originally planned to tell her everything, but when I saw the Audi Jiang Lixin drove, I changed my mind a bit. It's better not to tell her about being a corpse carrier.

After thinking for a while, I told Jiang Lixin that Huang Po and I got a task that day to deal with a car accident, and then we encountered a female corpse.

In my description, we were there to supervise the staff at the funeral parlor dealing with the car accident. Then we came across a female corpse that looked exactly like Jiang Lixin. When I stepped forward to check, something spooky happened.

"Chen Feng, are you making this up?!" Jiang Lixin screamed angrily. "Even movies wouldn't dare to have such a plot. Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe such nonsense?"

"I'm really not lying to you. If I really wanted to lie, I wouldn't have made up such a bizarre story. Besides, people have been dying these days, and I was even taken in for investigation. How dare I lie about something like this?"

Huang Po, who had been sitting in the back row without saying a word, now chimed in, "It's true. I can testify. Moreover, there's still a seal on Chen Zi's front door. You can't fake this kind of thing."

Jiang Lixin fell silent. After a long time, she suddenly said, "Chen Feng, what are you going to do next? Will there be no more trouble in the future?"

"Definitely no problem. Dashan Temple has strong incense and is very effective. The evil spirits have been driven away."

"As long as there's no problem." Jiang Lixin changed the subject. "Now, let's talk about your girlfriend. You didn't mention having a girlfriend when you sweet - talked me that day."

"Pfft," Huang Po, who was drinking mineral water in the back row, spat it out and coughed violently.

I also felt a bit embarrassed. This girl Jiang Lixin was so bold! How could she say such things in front of others?

I could only pretend to be stupid. "You didn't ask me then!"

"Didn't ask? When I kissed you, I said I was single and asked if you were single too. You even replied with a yes." Jiang Lixin got angrier as she spoke and grabbed a pillow and threw it at me.

"I was wrong. It's just that you're so beautiful. I couldn't resist you."

Facts have proven that no matter what the situation is, women will be happy when they're praised for their beauty.

After scolding me a few more times, Jiang Lixin stopped. "You can't go back home because of the seal. Come to the hotel with me tonight."

"I have a place to stay, at Huang Po's." I replied subconsciously.

"Are you stupid? I've invited you to the hotel, and you still refuse?" Jiang Lixin looked at me like I was an idiot.

Only then did I realize that something interesting might happen tonight.

Huang Po in the back row was also quite sensible. "I need to clean my place tonight. There's no room for you."

After we returned to the provincial capital, the three of us had a hot - pot meal together. Huang Po took a taxi back, and Jiang Lixin and I headed to the hotel where she was staying.

Even now, I still felt like it wasn't real.

Was I really that outstanding and in high demand? 

Jiang Lixin, this rich and beautiful girl, actually drove all the way to the provincial capital to find me. Then, based on Huang Po's WeChat posts, she went to Dashan Temple.

Is it really because of that innocent affection in high school? Why do I always feel something strange about it?

Jiang Lixin was staying in a five - star hotel. The hotel was magnificently decorated.

When I walked into the hotel lobby, I couldn't help sighing to myself again: It's really good to be rich. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be willing to stay in such an expensive five - star hotel.

Jiang Lixin was staying on the eighth floor. When we took the elevator up, it stopped on the second floor. A middle - aged couple entered the elevator after having a meal in the second - floor banquet hall.

I accidentally glanced at the banquet hall outside, and all the hairs on my body stood on end.

The banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel was exactly where I held the wedding in my dream. All the decorations and arrangements were identical, without the slightest difference.

A thought flashed through my mind like lightning: I had been so busy running away before that I overlooked one thing. The first time I attended a wedding in my dream, the betrothal letter had my cousin's birth date and time written on it.

My cousin's birth date and time were taken from me by Jiang Lixin. She said she was going to find someone to pick the wedding date.

Now, she has brought me to this banquet hall I saw in my dream.

Is she really not a female corpse?
