TSFLIP Chapter 638

There is no Chapter 637. Chapter 638 continued from Chapter 636

 

Fengguang really did like that man. And Yun Ji truly was the kind of man who could make anyone’s heart skip a beat. Even after seeing his true face—one that wasn’t exactly perfect—she still couldn’t change the way she felt about him.

Honestly, if it were just a case of Yun Ji not liking her back, she might not have been this heartbroken. After all, unrequited love wasn’t exactly rare—she wouldn’t have been the only one.
What she couldn’t accept… was the reason behind his ambiguous behavior toward her.

He was doing it for Yan Yu.

If it hadn’t come down to a life-or-death moment—if people didn’t act on pure instinct when their lives were on the line—she might have never realized it.

Yun Ji’s acting… was just too good.
Every time he saw Yan Yu, every word he said to her, he never once showed that he had feelings for her.

But then—watching the dark ghostly butterflies fly overhead—he spoke with indifference:
“Since you’re dead now, you should go get reincarnated.”

“Mm…” she replied softly, emotionless.
She didn’t resist the idea of reincarnation in the slightest.
Maybe this was what it meant to truly lose all hope.

For someone who was usually so carefree and shameless, to feel this crushed—it was something she never thought could happen to her.

Fengguang was lazy by nature. She thought resisting fate was too much of a hassle, so she was good at accepting things.
Like now—she was dead, so yeah, she probably should go get reincarnated.

Her master had once told her: When people die, they become ghosts. Some ghosts, unable to let go of grudges from their past life, gradually build up resentment and turn into vengeful spirits—li gui—who can never reincarnate. And one day, if they’re unlucky enough to run into a righteous Taoist priest, they’ll be completely obliterated, soul and all.

Fengguang didn’t want to become a vengeful spirit. She didn’t want to turn into something like that faceless female ghost.

Like the saying goes, “In eighteen years, I’ll be a hero again.”

But still… still, she just couldn’t bring herself to be that carefree.

Nahe pushed the person lying on top of him, but found she wouldn’t budge. He asked,
“Changed your mind?”

“No…” she still refused to lift her head, mumbling,
“I just… I just think this sea of bihua flowers is really pretty… I want to look at it a little longer.”

“Is that so?”
He glanced down at her, her head buried in his chest, showing no sign whatsoever of admiring the scenery.

But looking up at the gray, overcast sky, he chose not to call out her lie.

“Holy shit!”
A loud female voice suddenly rang out not far away.
“I can’t believe what I’m seeing!”

Nahe’s face instantly darkened.

Granny Meng had her hands covering her face, but her fingers were wide open, her eyes peeking gleefully through them. She shouted,
“Oh my god! Old virgin Nahe is finally having his springtime! I can finally rest easy!”

“WHAT!!!?”
Granny Meng’s yelling was so loud that a swarm of ghost messengers suddenly rushed over. They circled the two people lying on the ground, chattering all at once:

“Nahe has a girl!?”

“No way!”

“Are you blind? Don’t you see that woman lying on top of him?”

“This is a freakin’ miracle! Nahe having a girlfriend is even less likely than King Yama slacking off at work!”

…

The crowd was in an uproar, gossiping loudly and making a huge scene, without even trying to keep their voices down. Of course, Nahe heard every word, and his expression kept getting darker and darker.

Still mourning, Fengguang was sensitive enough to notice his rising tension.
She quickly climbed off him on her own.

Once they were both standing, she instinctively took a step away from him and said, her voice cracking with sobs:
“Don’t get the wrong idea… nothing is going on between me and him…”

As soon as she finished, she hiccuped mid-cry.
