Volume 2: Living with Ghosts Chapter 035 Strange Feeling
Thinking of this, Zhang Fengyu's face darkened instantly. This would be the last time he would ask Xiaoling. If Xiaoling disagreed, he would kill her without mercy. Even if he didn't kill her, he would definitely lock her up. He didn't have time to waste like this.
"Xiaoling, I'm asking you one last time, can you please stop harassing me in the future? I hate you, can't you see? I don't just hate you, I hate you extremely!"
Every word Zhang Fengyu said was sharp. Xiaoling seemed to see countless sharp knives stabbing into her heart. Her heart ached terribly at this moment, as if the whole world had turned silent black and white, and only Zhang Fengyu's hurtful words were still ringing in her ears.
Xiaoling was silent for a long time, and finally she nodded to Zhang Fengyu calmly, and then left haggardly. Seeing that Xiaoling finally stopped pestering him, Zhang Fengyu's expression was somewhat relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I still have six days to think about it, but in order to avoid any mistakes, I have to set aside a few days, which will leave me even less time. I haven't gained anything from those women so far. They seem to do everything in unison, and this unison makes it even more difficult for me to distinguish."
"However, there is a woman who really concerns me. Unlike those women, she has been deliberately distancing herself from me these past few days while Xiaoling has been pestering me. Women are all jealous, so could it be that the woman is jealous? If that is the case, then I will focus on getting in touch with her these past few days. I have no idea what is going on."
Zhang Fengyu made up his mind, and later he quickly ran to where the woman was. The woman's name was Xu Ying, and she was the first one Zhang Fengyu met among the twenty-five people. The woman's personality was a bit cold, and she didn't talk much. When he first met Xu Ying, he didn't pay much attention to him. Later, as he met Xu Ying more and more times, Xu Ying slowly warmed up to him. It was precisely this point that Xu Ying was very different from the other women.
All the other women were eager to get close to him, except Xu Ying. Apart from this, all the women behaved in the same way, which was why Zhang Fengyu had never gotten anything. But because Xu Ying behaved differently, Zhang Fengyu thought it was unlikely that she was a ghost. After all, if she was a ghost, she would be eager for him to choose her, so how could she be so cold?
When he arrived at Xu Ying's residence, Zhang Fengyu found that the door was not locked, and Xu Ying's graceful figure was in the yard. He greeted Xu Ying in the yard and pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Zhang Fengyu coming in, Xu Ying wanted to stand up from his chair and greet Zhang Fengyu, but at this moment he seemed to remember something and sat back down. Zhang Fengyu saw all of this, and he guessed that Xu Ying was jealous of him being with Xiaoling , so he laughed at Xu Ying and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiaoying, how are you these days?"
"No matter how good I am, I can't live as comfortably as some people. How wonderful it is to have a wonderful person by your side every day! Why isn't that wonderful person with you today? Humph!"
After Xu Ying finished speaking, she snorted at Zhang Fengyu and turned her head away from him. Zhang Fengyu could naturally tell that the wonderful person Xu Ying was referring to was Xiaoling. He smiled awkwardly and quickly came to Xu Ying's side, took a chair from the side and sat next to Xu Ying.
"Xiaoying, I..."
"I'm going to water the garden!"
Zhang Fengyu originally wanted to get close to Xu Ying, but Xu Ying didn't give him the chance at all. She picked up the watering can on the ground and went to the side, quietly watering the vegetable garden.
Xu Ying's behavior not only did not make Zhang Fengyu unhappy, but made him even happier. The more Xu Ying behaved like this, the more likely she was to be human. However, while Zhang Fengyu was happy, he also had a little doubt in his heart: "In addition to Xu Ying, the other 24 people also like me, but why don't they tell me directly and let me not contact those women? Forget it, maybe the mission has played a trick on this aspect!"
Zhang Fengyu was only one step away from the identification method discovered by Chen Ping. If Zhang Fengyu had paid a little attention, he would have been able to discover the method, but Zhang Fengyu ignored it.
It was noon, and the sun was extremely hot. Even though Zhang Fengyu was sitting in the shade, his clothes were soaked with sweat. He looked at Xu Ying, who was still not afraid of the hot sun, and called out with concern: "Xu Ying, the sun is too hot, please come back soon. I was wrong the other day, I apologize, okay? I have already made it clear to Xiaoling, and she will not bother me anymore! Don't be angry!"
Xu Ying straightened up after hearing this. It was obvious that Zhang Fengyu's words made her very happy. However, she still pretended to be disdainful and said, "Don't be so arrogant. Who is angry with you?"
Seeing that there were signs of improvement, Zhang Fengyu immediately stood up from his chair, went to Xu Ying's side, grabbed Xu Ying's hand and said, "The sun is so strong, come in quickly!"
Seeing her hand being grabbed by Zhang Fengyu, Xu Ying's body trembled, and she couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Let go quickly! Don't hold me!"
Zhang Fengyu saw all of Xu Ying's subtle movements. He ignored her and pulled her back into the house. After struggling for a few times, Xu Ying let Zhang Fengyu hold her hand.
After returning to the house, Zhang Fengyu naturally started his plan. After chatting with Xu Ying for a long time, Zhang Fengyu tentatively asked: "Xiaoying, if I want to marry you, will you agree to it?"
Xu Ying fell silent after hearing this. Seeing Xu Ying's silence, Zhang Fengyu asked more emphatically, "Xiaoying, if I want to marry you, will you agree to it?"
Although Zhang Fengyu's tone was heavier, Xu Ying still did not answer this time. Zhang Fengyu doubled his voice and asked again: "Xiaoying, if I want to marry you, will you agree? Will you?"
"Don't force me. Give me some time to think about it, okay? This is a big deal after all!" Xu Ying finally spoke under Zhang Fengyu's deliberate coercion this time, but still did not give a definite answer.
Xu Ying's answer was exactly what Zhang Fengyu wanted to hear. He had always believed that the ghost would never reject him, but Zhang Fengyu forgot one thing: if no one agreed to marry him after a month, then his fate would be the same as choosing the ghost.
Because Zhang Fengyu had never encountered such a situation, he did not think about it. After getting Xu Ying's answer, he did not continue to force Xu Ying to agree. After instructing her, he left and went to the other women. He wanted to test these women one by one to see if their reactions were consistent with Xu Ying's!
On the way to the women's residence, Zhang Fengyu had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Xu Ying. He had never felt this way when he had been in contact with Xu Ying before, nor had he ever felt it when he had been in contact with other women.
Because this feeling came so suddenly, Zhang Fengyu started to think for a while, but because he had a plan today, he did not dwell on this feeling and planned to think about it after returning to his residence. Afterwards, Zhang Fengyu went to several women's homes one after another. His purpose was the same as before with Li Ying, which was to tentatively confess his feelings and see how these people responded to his confession.
It must be said that this sounds very surprising. In fact, Zhang Fengyu felt strange. It was unheard of to confess to 25 people in a day. But Zhang Fengyu had no choice but to do so. In just six days, let alone talking about marriage, even if you make friends, people will not be sincere to you, let alone being husband and wife for life.
But this is a wanted mission, this is the balance of difficulty for the mission, the mission greatly shortens the time it takes for the women in this women's village to develop a liking for Zhang Fengyu, then to like him, then to love him, and then to talk about marriage. If the mission is not balanced in this aspect, then they will not have to choose, even if they only pursue one person based on their feelings, I am afraid that no one will succeed.
Zhang Fengyu's confession was very quick. After all, he had seen that the mission had reduced the difficulty for them in this regard, so he had nothing to hide. Having said that, the result of his confession was still beyond his expectations. Except for Xu Ying who chose to consider it, the other 24 people all expressed their agreement after hesitating for a moment.
He confessed his love 25 times in one day, and 24 people agreed. If Zhang Fengyu could have such amazing charm in real life, he probably wouldn't have such inferiority complex.
Zhang Fengyu, who had returned to his residence, carefully analyzed the result. From this probability, it was obvious that Xu Ying was very likely to be a human. Conversely, the possibility that Li Ying was a ghost was also greater. However, Xu Ying's behavior still made Zhang Fengyu feel that her behavior was the most normal. Therefore, in Zhang Fengyu's heart, he was more inclined to believe that Xu Ying's identity was human.
When Zhang Fengyu didn't plan to think about it anymore, just as he lay flat on the bed and wanted to rest, the strange feeling that came when he left Xu Ying's house appeared again. This feeling made him lose all sleepiness again, so he sat up and fell into memories.
"What on earth makes me feel so strange?"
