Fujiwara Reiki announces her wedding to Wataru Tetsuya and invites Jiang Chen, who congratulates her. She expresses that her relationship with Li Ji is impossible, and Jiang Chen inquires about the wedding date. The Martial Saint appears, commenting on Jiang Chen's appearance and discussing his conversations with the Japanese Princess, whom he pities. Jiang Chen warns him to be careful, but the Martial Saint believes his interactions promote positive China-Japan relations. Li Shuru calls them for dinner, and the Martial Saint playfully teases Jiang Chen about Li Shuru. Jiang Chen dismisses a concern from Miss Lan as a resolved 'small matter.'

This kid.

Not only has his emotional intelligence, but his IQ also improved significantly.

"It’s nothing. Your sister and I aren’t meeting for the first time. It was just a little misunderstanding, and it’s been cleared up."

Martial Saint stayed silent, giving a thumbs up.

"Why didn’t Sister Fang Qing come back with you?"

Li Shuru asked.

"We’ll talk about it later."

Jiang Chen grabbed some food.

Li Shuru looked at him, surprised.

"What’s going on? Is it inconvenient, bro? Are you treating me as an outsider or Sister Duanmu?"

Martial Saint chimed in.

"Have you guys seen ’Mountain Village Corpse’?"

Jiang Chen suddenly said.

Mountain Village Corpse?

Martial Saint was confused, but he nodded anyway.

"I’ve watched it many times."

Many times.

This time, it was Jiang Chen’s turn to give a thumbs up.

Even though it was quite nonsensical, Li Shuru kept quiet, not probing further, and quietly ate.

Until the evening.

After bathing, when they were alone, she finally spoke up.

"What did you mean by ’Mountain Village Corpse’ during dinner?"

Jiang Chen held the remote, looking at the TV, "Have you seen it."

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chen laughed, "You’ve got some guts, huh."

"Changing the subject?"

Li Shuru tilted her head, half-smiling.

Changing what subject.

He was prepared to head back to Sha City and admit his mistakes.

Had he not been determined, he wouldn’t have foolishly brought it up at the dinner table.

Qing Mei is just too special to someone, crudely put, she’s not someone you can just walk away from after the deed is done.

Even being vague would be an insult to Fang Qing.

"Why don’t we watch it together again?"

Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, still not giving a direct answer.

Li Shuru, being so smart, keenly sensed her boyfriend’s unusual behavior and, without rushing, nodded cheerfully.

"Sure."

And so, Jiang Chen once again took out his phone to project, after many days.

"In a remote mountain village, an ancient and terrifying legend circulates.

Some say a horrific event once took place there; some say the land is stained with blood and haunted; and some say... at midnight, if you comb your hair in front of a mirror, you’ll see her—

The girl with long hair, a pale face, and bleeding eyes...

She’s back..."

Click.

All the lights went out.

Only the dim moonlight remained.

Li Shuru turned off the lights to enhance the atmosphere, leaning on her boyfriend’s shoulder.

The light and shadows reflected on their faces.

"Are you scared?"

Jiang Chen said softly.

The head resting on his shoulder moved slightly.

"I loved watching horror movies as a kid. ’Mountain Village Corpse’, ’Curse Park’, ’School Tomb’..."

"Who did you watch them with?"

"With some friends, and Yali. Some I watched by myself too."

"Not scared at all?"

"Just a little scared. If I wasn’t scared, I wouldn’t watch them."

Scared, so you watch?

What kind of logic is that?

"Do you girls have some morbid mindset, a self-destructive tendency?"

"Can’t you be more pleasant to the ear? Why not call it challenging oneself?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, pulling his girlfriend into his arms, gently stroking her beautiful hair.

Li Shuru nestled against his chest, her ear pressed to his heartbeat.

"You’re not still scared now, are you?"

She seemed to listen to his heartbeat.

"Outside is an exceptional Heavenly Master; if Chu Renmei foolishly comes out, it’s her bad luck."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, accusing his girlfriend of spoiling the mood, "Look at you, no sense of atmosphere at all, if horror movies aren’t scary, what’s the point of watching them."

"Then let’s chat."

Li Shuru nudged his chin with her head, "Did you argue with Sister Fang Qing?"

"Argue with a lawyer? I’m not self-destructive."

"Why are you so heavy-hearted then?"

"Am I?"

Li Shuru tapped his chest with her fingertip, "The heart doesn’t lie."

Jiang Chen remained calm and collected, "I just revisited ’Mountain Village Corpse’ with her."

Even the once brilliant Li Yuanhua, now President Li, couldn’t extract much information from such an obscure statement. She looked up at his sparse stubble.

"And then?"

"And then we went to sleep."

"..."

Damn.

Brave Hero!

That stormy night, after watching Mountain Village Corpse, we just slept!

Although Comrade Jiang Chen was quite straightforward in his honesty, Li Shuru obviously didn’t get it.

A normal person definitely wouldn’t react.

"Ah?"

"Ah what."

"And then just went to sleep?"

Li Shuru questioned.

"Mhm."

Li Shuru propped herself up, her shoulder strap wasn’t purple, it was transparent.

"What do you mean?"

Li Shuru sat up, her eyes filled with inquiry as she looked at someone.

Jiang Chen cleared his throat softly, no matter how composed he tried to be, he was somewhat embarrassed.

"...Just sleeping."

Li Shuru’s eyes flickered slightly, like stars dimming and brightening, finally grasping the meaning.

"You...slept with Sister Fang Qing?"

Her face was full of shock, skeptical.

Comrade Jiang Chen remained silent.

The bedroom quieted down, only the sound of the film playing.

Chu Renmei didn’t crawl out, but the atmosphere in the bedroom was even more terrifying than if Chu Renmei had crawled out.

After all, if Chu Renmei crawled out, at worst you call Daoist Sister to cut her down with a sword. But with this kind of thing, Daoist Sister couldn’t provide any help.

No one could.

"Are you serious?"

After a long silence, Li Shuru spoke again.

The person didn’t even look at her expression.

It’s not out of cowardice.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have confessed everything.

It’s just that Boss Jiang is different from a scumbag; a scumbag has no bottom line, while Boss Jiang has morals.

"Mhm."

He hummed again.

At this point, any other words would be too pale.

Li Shuru didn’t scream or throw off the covers and get up, she just stared into his eyes.

But the senior who deceived her body and heart didn’t engage in eye contact, just stared at the projection, eyes unwavering.

"Don’t you think you should give an explanation?"

The woman’s tone was calm.

"I’m sorry."

???

Is this the level of a love master?

At least try to make an excuse.

For example, the mistake that all men would make.

"Are we breaking up?"

See.

Sorry never solves problems, it only exacerbates them.

Jiang Chen finally turned his head and met the gaze of the woman who seemed to have returned to a few years ago.

"That’s not what I meant."

"Then what does it mean? You want me to accept Sister Fang Qing, like Ehuang and Nvying?"

Li Shuru’s face was expressionless.

That face, beautiful as it was, was truly intimidating when devoid of expression.

"Can Sister Fang Qing agree?"

"She shouldn’t have any objection."

How fluently answered!

The wolfish ambition is completely undisguised!

This is called honesty?

Clearly it’s cunning!

Li Shuru almost couldn’t hold it in, struggling to suppress it, controlling her expression to remain unchanged.

"Have you discussed it with Sister Fang Qing?"

"No. Just my personal feeling."

The luxurious bedroom fell silent again.

"Your personal feeling? So do you also feel that I would agree?"

"Aren’t you already...calling each other sisters."

Fang Qing is impossible to give up.

And Li Shuru also can’t be abandoned.

He’s not stupid; daring to be honest is naturally because he has some confidence. His courage is based on various clues, but some things, tacit understanding is one thing, directly stating it is another.

Women want face.

"You bastard!"

Someone reaped what they sowed, taking a fragrant foot to the chest, he fell onto the headboard, while Li Shuru threw off the covers and got out of bed.

"Not going to watch anymore?"

"Watch it yourself!"

Li Shuru tightened her nightgown, walking out without looking back.

"Bang!"

The whole mansion seemed to echo with the sound of the door closing.

Jiang Chen rubbed his chest, finally dropping the facade, grinning.

Damn.

Isn’t it said that when a tiger body shakes, women will lose themselves and bow submissively?

Novels are really damn deceptive.
