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

"Oh, oh." Jiuge nodded seriously, belatedly realizing what was happening.

“But none of that matters.” As An Chen walked out of the theater, he began to share his insights.

"Isn't it important?" Jiuge tilted her head, her tone full of confusion.

"If it were like our story, that would be even better. After all, it's a perfect love story where the male and female leads overcome many obstacles and finally become a couple," An Chen recalled with a smile.

“That makes sense.” Jiuge nodded heavily, her expression much more relaxed.

"But will I end up like the female lead? After we confirm our relationship, will I be with the male lead and do all sorts of intimate things..." As she spoke, her face turned red again.

“These are all paths that couples inevitably take.” An Chen paused for a moment, then said without batting an eye.

"Okay, I will study hard." Jiu Ge shook the popcorn bucket with mixed feelings, revealing a look of resignation.

"Take your time..." An Chen looked at Jiu Ge's serious little expression and couldn't bear to tease her any longer.

He could probably imagine the intense internal struggle that Jiu Ge, who was completely clueless about most things related to love, was going through at this moment.

"An Chen," Jiu Ge suddenly called out gently.

"What's wrong?" An Chen asked.

"I like you." Jiuge said these words, then turned her head away, her ears turning red.

As the saying goes, the most deadly seduction is the subtle kind.

An Chen felt his heart pounding.

……

After leaving the movie theater and retrieving my belongings, it was already 9:40 PM.

While waiting for the traffic light to change, Jiuge still looked dazed, as if she hadn't yet stepped out of the movie.

"Are you so engrossed in watching the movie?" An Chen wanted to squeeze Jiu Ge's hand, but because he had too many things on his body, he couldn't free his hand.

In the end, he could only glance at Jiu Ge's exquisite profile.

"You just said that the movie is better than us because in the end, the lovers can overcome all obstacles and be together." Jiuge's phone kept vibrating with messages in her pocket, but she ignored it.

“Yes.” An Chen nodded.

The red light had passed, and Jiuge took his arm and continued walking forward.

The subway station was just across the street, and they had to hurry before it closed.

"You mean you've considered the possibility that we might not be able to stay together and break up?" Jiuge stared at the subway station entrance ahead, her expression serious.

“I didn’t want to break up with you,” An Chen replied after a moment of surprise.

It turns out the little girl misunderstood.

“But I’ve thought about the difficulties we’ll face,” he explained softly.

"I like you." Jiu Ge turned her head and glanced at An Chen.

Her gaze was firm, and a faint blush graced her face.

"I know, I like you too." An Chen sighed softly, looking gently at Jiu Ge who was pressed against him.

"So I never thought about breaking up with you, no matter what happens in the future," Jiu Ge said, shaking the popcorn in her hand.

“Yes, me too. I only thought about how to overcome the difficulties, and I never thought about breaking up with you if I couldn’t solve them,” An Chen explained carefully.

"Really?" Jiuge stopped, glancing at the subway that was right in front of her.

She stared intently at An Chen, her expression quite serious.

“Really.” An Chen nodded.

"Really?" Jiuge asked again, feeling uneasy.

"Really, so hurry up and give me a hug. I'm already exhausted from carrying so many things," An Chen chuckled.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiuge put the popcorn bucket on the ground.

She took a deep breath and wrapped her arms tightly around An Chen's waist.

……

It was already 10:40 when I got back to the community.

Zhang Zhidong and Mao Maotou, radiating golden light, were still guarding the spirit clinic in the spirit world, chatting happily with several elderly spirits nearby.

Seeing Jiu Ge slowly walking over arm in arm with An Chen, Zhang Zhidong told Mao Maotou to continue chatting with the other spirits, and subconsciously wanted to float over to help An Chen get his things.

Just as he floated up, he suddenly realized that he had no physical form.

With an embarrassed smile, Zhang Zhidong took out the spirit coins he had collected over the past few days from his pocket.

"Not bad! I've collected quite a lot of Heavenly Spirit Coins; I haven't had a chance to give them to you yet."

His pockets seemed to come from another dimension; he kept rummaging around, and after a long time, he still hadn't finished.

An Chen remained silent.

Jiuge was completely dumbfounded.

The scene was so amazing; she had never seen anything like it before.

"Thank you. It seems your business is really good during the Ghost Festival. Congratulations." An Chen smiled.

Scattering spirit coins in any random place would definitely not work, but thanks to the special barrier he set up, no suspicious people have noticed Zhang Zhidong's spirit world mental health clinic yet.

"However, I might not be able to collect these right now, and I'm afraid it would affect Jiuge's luck if she took them."

After glancing at the spirit coins Zhang Zhidong had thrown on the ground, An Chen looked around at the things on his person.

With Jiuge also on his arm, he simply couldn't free up any hands.

“Great! I’ll deliver it to your home!” Zhang Zhidong said loudly.

"Okay, thank you." Seeing that Zhang Zhidong said that, An Chen didn't stand on ceremony.

His future in-laws were coming to his house in two days, and he really needed to burn more spirit coins to accumulate some good fortune for himself, so as to avoid any trouble later.

"Thank you." Jiuge, holding the popcorn, was about to bow in gratitude.

Her body bent downwards, causing An Chen to stumble along with her.

Immediately afterwards, popcorn was scattered all over the ground with a whooshing sound.

Chapter 142 (I'll give you kidneys)

According to Feng Kai's latest data calculations, there is only a 5% chance that those association members in Jingcheng have died.

Upon receiving this news, Jiuge no longer worried about finding the person.

There's been no word from Meng Ninghua at the Red Mandarin Duck Temple yet, probably because the matter An Chen asked her to handle is more complicated than she imagined, so she can't give An Chen and Jiu Ge any reply in the short term.

Putting aside the possibility of being suddenly frightened by a spirit, Jiu Ge still secretly hoped that Meng Ninghua would come and report the situation to him and An Chen in a normal manner.

If the other party comes, not only will there be news about the missing person, but she will also be called Mrs. An repeatedly.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, a day and a half gone.

At noon, right after finishing lunch, Jiuge's phone vibrated again.

Since joining the reader group for "The Cool and Aloof Beauty", An Chen and Jiu Ge can see the "Gag your kidneys" cat emoji that the group members like to send whenever they open their phones.

At first, he and Jiuge only glanced at each other.

After a while, the "Gag your kidneys" cat emoji appeared too often, and Jiuge finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"What exactly does 'ga ni yao zi' mean?" After turning off her phone screen, Jiu Ge felt that something was not quite right.

The two cats in the picture are so cute, so why is the caption "Gāni Yeast" added?

She couldn't understand either the mismatch between the picture and the text, or the meaning of "ga ni yao zi".

Because An Chen told her not to rely on the internet when she needed something, Jiu Ge started discussing any problems with An Chen first.

An Chen was sitting on the sofa, stroking the back of Naitang, who was half asleep.

Hearing Jiu Ge's question from the side, he paused for a moment: "If I remember correctly, it seems to be a Northeastern dialect. 'Ga' means to cut, and 'yaozi' means kidney."

"So, you mean you have to donate a kidney?" Jiuge's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"Hmm. Didn't it get on the news before? A man sold a kidney for four thousand yuan to buy a pear-themed phone," An Chen recalled while tugging at the candy's fur.

"You can sell a kidney? Won't there be any side effects?" Jiuge tilted her head, somewhat confused.

"It may cause kidney failure." An Chen smiled and patiently explained.

"Then why did he sell it?" Jiuge tossed her hair, her expression growing increasingly confused.

"Because he wants to buy a pear-shaped phone." An Chen stopped touching the milk candy.

He moved closer to Jiuge and circled a strand of hair on her forehead with his finger.

The girl's hair was very soft, and because it was so long, An Chen could wrap Jiu Ge's hair around his fingers many times.

"Four thousand isn't expensive." Jiu Ge let An Chen style her hair, her expression remaining serious.

Her attention was completely focused on the kidneys, and she didn't even react much as An Chen got closer and closer to her.

“It was quite expensive for ordinary people like us, and that was several years ago. Back then, four thousand was worth more than it is now.” An Chen let down the hair he had coiled up, changed it again, and tried to braid Jiu Ge’s hair.

"Isn't this illegal?" Jiuge's eyes darted around, and her expression became serious.

"Yes," An Chen replied instantly.

His hands still didn't stop.

"With so many people sending 'cut your kidney' emojis in this reader group, does that mean they all want to cut off their kidneys to buy the Pear phone?" Jiu Ge grabbed An Chen's restless hand and leaned forward.

Because of the large movements, her loose dress slipped down a bit.

“Your bra strap is showing here…” An Chen pointed with his other finger to the exposed bra strap on Jiu Ge’s shoulder.

"Ah! Oh dear..." Jiuge blushed and quickly let go.

She turned around and straightened her clothes.
