Chapter 378 - 380: Ugly Ghost
"Wants a Handsome High School Boy" instantly lifted her head, the pitiful look from just a moment ago completely gone.
Without the slightest hesitation, she stared at Su Nian with sparkling eyes.
"Streamer, hurry up and tell me! Hurry!"
As she spoke, she manually sent Su Nian several gifts.
Dazzling special effects bloomed across the screen, both magnificent and beautiful.
The key point was that the few gifts she had just sent were already worth over a hundred thousand yuan.
[If she’s that rich, why is she so fixated on that ghost?]
[Seriously, what about me?!]
[Actually, if you look closely, she’s quite pretty.]
[Isn’t she? So fresh and delicate, like a high schooler.]
Su Nian also found it a bit hard to understand.
"You have pleasant features, a wealthy family, and you’re an only child. Why are you so hung up on a ghost?"
The expression on "Wants a Handsome High School Boy" fell, her displeasure visible to the naked eye.
"My mom says I have a terminal case of being love-struck. She introduced me to several potential boyfriends, and I fell for all of them. She got so disgusted with me that she kicked me out. Told me to clear my head."
[I don’t really get it. She liked everyone her mom introduced her to, isn’t that a good thing?]
[Knowing her love-struck brain, I doubt it’s that simple.]
[There’s gotta be a catch!]
Su Nian furrowed her brow. "Because her mom introduced her to three men on the same day, and she fell for all three of them at once."
"Wants a Handsome High School Boy" pouted. "Why can’t I like them? Every one of them is so wonderful. I’m totally willing to be their simp and their backup plan!"
[Okay, I definitely underestimated her!]
[I underestimated your power level. My apologies!]
[It’s kinda normal, I guess. The guys her mom introduced were probably top-tier, so she couldn’t let any of them go.]
Su Nian shook her head. "Her mother noticed something was off with your love life, so she introduced you to many high-quality men, but you didn’t fancy any of them."
"So the ones she introduced you to that day were an abusive guy, a creepy, greasy peeping tom, and a gambler."
"Her mother was just testing you, but she never expected you to fall in love with all of them."
[Whoa! I’m just... wow!]
[Damn! I hereby dub you the Ultimate Love-Brain!]
[To be able to so precisely fall for scumbags... that’s our girl!]
[How can she be so impressive and so idiotic at the same time?!]
"It’s not like that at all! Their shining qualities were just too unique! It’s my mom’s fault for not seeing it!"
Su Nian nodded. "But they’re bad for your financial fortune!"
Huh?
"Wants a Handsome High School Boy" was stunned. ’Dating is fine, but being bad for my finances?’
’That’s not happening!’
She immediately puffed out her chest. "Thank goodness, thank goodness! I didn’t get together with them!"
"Dating is fine, being a simp is fine too. But being bad for my finances and making me spend money? No way!"
"Wants a Handsome High School Boy" declared righteously, her tone firm.
Su Nian was speechless.
’I’m so blessed to have you...’
[How can she be so smart and so dumb at the same time?!]
[My feelings about her are too complicated. I can’t even describe them.]
[She just seems so weird. I don’t know how to describe it.]
"Oh right, Streamer, the ghost isn’t bad for my finances, right?"
Su Nian shook her head.
"Wants a Handsome High School Boy" immediately patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. The great weight on her heart lifted, and she said happily, "That’s good, that’s good. I couldn’t bear to be apart from him."
"There are so many ghosts in the world, but he’s the only one who looks like Ah Cai. He must be my lover from a past life! It’s so great he wasn’t caught by that Daoist!"
She was happy for a good while before collecting her thoughts, a sudden doubt crossing her mind.
"Oh, right. Streamer, what were you about to say earlier?"
"The two pieces of news?"
Su Nian propped her face up with one hand. "That ghost has gone into someone else’s dreams. He’s not pestering you anymore. Isn’t that good news?"
"What! Why?!"
Su Nian replied, "He’s a lecherous ghost. He only likes beautiful women."
"On what grounds?! Am I not pretty? Why isn’t he pestering me?"
Hearing words that so thoroughly upended her worldview, Su Nian could only sigh. ’Such a nice girl, but where is her brain?’
[I’m dying of laughter. You’re into the ghost, but the ghost isn’t into you?]
[If he’s a lecherous ghost who only wants to follow pretty ladies, I’m gonna lose it, lmao]
[Never thought I’d see the day. Even a ghost doesn’t want you.]
[That’s just how it is. Love-struck people are annoying to everyone!]
The girl argued illogically, "But he looks so much like Ah Cai! He’s clearly the man of my dreams. He must have deliberately taken on that appearance. I don’t care, I don’t care! Streamer, you have to help me! Please help me!"
As she spoke, her little hands went to work again, sending another stream of gifts to Su Nian.
Su Nian was truly at a loss. It wasn’t every day she came across such a wealthy patron, but this one’s head wasn’t screwed on right.
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "This talk about a past-life lover... it sounds ridiculous even to me. The ghost probably just took a liking to your looks, or maybe it was just following you randomly. You’ve blown this way out of proportion."
Many viewers in the livestream chat were laughing so hard they were bent over.
[Even though she is really pretty, I have to say, this is truly ridiculous!]
[Right? She’s definitely good-looking, but attracting a ghost is a bit much, isn’t it?]
[I suggest you get your head checked first!]
[I finally get what her mom meant by ’love-struck.’ This is genuinely brain-dead!]
Called out so bluntly by Su Nian, "Wants a Handsome High School Boy" looked embarrassed.
"But I think... he was just trying to get my attention."
She tried to force an explanation. "Otherwise, why wouldn’t he go after someone else? Why did he desperately seek me out? And he came to me for many days in a row. That must mean he has feelings for me."
It was hard to describe Su Nian’s current mood. It was complex and uncomfortable.
She was usually the one making others miserable. To be made this uncomfortable herself... that was a first.
"Streamer, I really want to ask him. Can I send you more money?"
"I just want to ask if he’s willing to be with me. I’ve kept him company for so long."
The girl even started to get emotional from her own words.
Su Nian sighed and lit a piece of talisman paper in her hand. "He’ll be here in a moment. You can ask him then."
She also had the attitude of someone ready to watch a good show, curious to see what this girl would say to the ghost.
Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes widened, not with a trace of fear, but with a face full of delighted surprise.
"Where is he? Where is he?"
As she spoke, she smoothed her hair.
Then, with small movements, she tidied up her appearance.
Su Nian was truly speechless. ’How can such a moronic child exist?’
But since she had taken the money, Su Nian would definitely see the job through beautifully.
She picked up a black umbrella and chanted a few lines of a spell. The umbrella, with nothing holding it up, began to slowly rotate in mid-air.
At the same time, a dark, shadowy figure appeared behind the girl, but she was still preoccupied with wiping her face.
She waited expectantly to meet her past-life lover.
It wasn’t until she felt a familiar, sinister chill that she instantly whipped her head around!
’He’s here! The man of my dreams!’
But a second later, she snapped her head back forward and sat bolt upright, looking at Su Nian as if she were at military training.
In the instant she had turned, she had seen a man who was pitch-black all over, reeking of decay, with a haggard face. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. She was dumbfounded.
That would have been one thing, but the main point was that he was ugly. Truly ugly!
The tiny spark of love was extinguished by a bucket of ice water before it could even ignite.
