Yang Jian used to always want a home of his own, instead of living in rented houses with his mother and constantly moving. He used to think about working hard and buying a big house as soon as possible.
But now he realized for the first time that having a big house was not necessarily a good thing.
Especially in this place, there were actually five floors. It was not a matter of searching floor by floor, but rather calling out layer by layer. If someone was hiding here and didn’t respond, it would be difficult to find them.
At this moment.
Zhang Liqin was not on the fourth floor, nor on the third floor.
After she arrived here and saw that the entire building was empty, she went to the second floor to avoid disturbing others.
The second floor was a reception room.
But there was also a lounge.
Inside the lounge, there were bedrooms, a toilet, and a bathroom.
However, after Zhang Liqin entered, she found something strange here.
All the mirrors, including glass and reflective surfaces, were covered with black cloth.
Without exception.
Even the mirror in the toilet was the same.
Zhang Liqin vaguely felt that this should also be related to the haunting, so she didn’t uncover any piece of black cloth. After all, what happened a few hours ago was still fresh in her memory.
Even the dumbest person should have learned their lesson.
“I’ll take a shower and go to bed early. I shouldn’t think about what happened before.”
Although Zhang Liqin still felt fear in her heart, she felt slightly relieved knowing that Yang Jian was here. After all, someone who could deal with ghosts lived here, so nothing should happen.
She took off her work clothes that emitted a faint smell of corpses.
Zhang Liqin went into the bathroom and took a hot shower.
The warm water washed over her body, making her feel a trace of warmth. The coldness on her body diminished a lot, but the chill in her heart still remained.
Although she knew that it might be safe here.
But thinking about what happened before and the strange measure of covering everything with black cloth in this place, Zhang Liqin still felt uneasy. She slapped her face to stop herself from overthinking.
Once ghosts appear in a person’s mind, they are like maggots on bones, impossible to shake off.
The fear in her heart may not come from death itself, but from the word “ghost” itself.
This word naturally instills fear in people, as if it possesses some kind of magic.
After quickly taking a shower, she endured the strange smell and washed her clothes and underwear. If possible, she didn’t want to wear clothes that emitted a smell of corpses anymore. This smell only reminded her of fear.
She hung the clothes outside.
With this weather, they would dry overnight.
She looked around.
She found a towel in the bathroom cabinet and wrapped it around herself.
As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, Zhang Liqin felt a gust of cold wind blowing around her. The wind carried a chill that could penetrate the skin and reach the bone marrow, making her shiver uncontrollably. Moreover, the lingering smell of corpses in the air seemed to become stronger.
She didn’t know if it was because she had just walked out without adapting, or if the cold air from the air conditioner in the room had blown over.
She didn’t dare to think too much,
She just wanted to hide under the covers and sleep until dawn.
Suddenly.
Zhang Liqin faintly heard someone calling her name, as if it was Yang Jian’s voice.
“I’m here.” After thinking for a moment and confirming, she replied.
Immediately, footsteps sounded outside.
Yang Jian hurriedly walked up to the second floor.
As soon as he entered the reception room, he quickly saw Zhang Liqin, who was about to go back to her room to sleep.
At that moment, he was stunned.
It wasn’t because he discovered anything special, but because he didn’t expect Zhang Liqin to be quite pretty. No, he couldn’t say pretty, but in terms of appearance, she was not as good as Jiang Yan. She could only be considered delicate and pleasant-looking. What caught people’s attention was her mature and voluptuous figure, exuding a seductive charm.
Especially the outline faintly revealed under the towel on her chest made Yang Jian doubt its authenticity for a moment.
How did he not notice before that Zhang Liqin was extraordinary?
“Do you, do you need something?”
Feeling Yang Jian’s gaze, Zhang Liqin naturally noticed it as a woman. Her gaze couldn’t help but dodge, and she asked.
Yang Jian said, “Many mirrors here are covered with black cloth. Have you ever uncovered any of them?”
“No, I feel something strange here, so I didn’t touch them.” Zhang Liqin said.
Yang Jian nodded and said, “That’s good. There is a ghost here. If you disturb the mirrors, it is very likely that the ghost will be released. Just avoid them, there is nothing else to be cautious about. I came here specifically to remind you, so that you won’t be caught off guard.”
“What? There’s a ghost here,” Zhang Liqin was startled.
“Don’t be so surprised. As long as you don’t mess around, nothing will happen. Besides, what’s the big deal about a ghost in such a big place? There are also many ghosts in Dachang City, but the people living in the city center are not scared. Some things that can’t be seen won’t be so frightening if you don’t know about them.” Yang Jian said.
“And I will solve this matter. It has nothing to do with you. You will leave after staying for one night.”
“Well, that’s true.” Zhang Liqin nodded.
Although she said that, knowing that there was a ghost here, she couldn’t help but shiver all over. Her gaze couldn’t help but look around, afraid that there would suddenly be an extra person in some corner for no reason.
“Go to bed early and leave in the morning.” Yang Jian turned around to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, “By the way, you… aren’t a ghost, right?”
Zhang Liqin looked surprised and asked, “Why do you ask like that?”
“Some ghosts hide inside people, and they are generally indistinguishable. Just to be safe, it’s better to test it.” Yang Jian walked over.
“How do you test it?””It’s simple.” Yang Jian suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck.
Clearly, he felt the warmth of Zhang Liqin’s body, the goosebumps rising at the back of her head, and her nervous heartbeat.
Ghosts don’t have these many signs of life.
Even the best-disguised ghost doesn’t possess these traits.
“It seems you haven’t been harmed by that ghost, which is a good thing. Don’t wander around at night, be careful.” Yang Jian withdrew his hand.
“I, I understand.” Zhang Liqin quickly nodded.
Yang Jian suddenly asked, “By the way, is this… real or fake?”
“What?” Zhang Liqin asked.
“I mean this… chest, it’s not normally this big, where did you get it augmented?” Yang Jian asked.
Zhang Liqin looked down and her face turned slightly red: “This, this is real, not augmented.”
“I was just asking, don’t mind.” Yang Jian said.
“No, no problem, I don’t mind.”
Zhang Liqin smoothed her hair and looked at Yang Jian, her eyes involuntarily revealing a hint of allure.
Seeing her look, Yang Jian was taken aback.
For a moment, their eyes met, and something different collided between them.
As a mature woman, Zhang Liqin realized that she shouldn’t be looking at a man like this.
But when she withdrew her gaze, Yang Jian stepped in front of her and asked, “Was that look you just gave me conveying some kind of message?”
“No, not at all.” Zhang Liqin hastily denied.
“I don’t believe it, your look was clearly seductive, I think as a man I should do something at this moment.” Yang Jian said.
“What do you want to do?”
Zhang Liqin smoothed her hair again, her eyes evasive, hiding her unease.
Yang Jian didn’t speak, but directly kissed her soft lips.
Zhang Liqin quickly realized what Yang Jian was about to do. She thought about resisting, refusing. As a luxury car saleswoman, she relied on service and professional knowledge, and professional ethics, not the kind of lowly saleswoman who would have relations with customers at the drop of a hat.
However, when it came to the crunch, she didn’t dodge, even when she was kissed, she didn’t think about resisting, but closed her eyes and gently responded.
Oh my god.
What’s happening to me? Am I enchanted by this man?
What Zhang Liqin didn’t know was that after experiencing death, fear, and despair, her rationality was on the verge of collapse. Yang Jian, the man who brought her hope and pulled her up from the edge of the abyss, she would subconsciously obey him, without any thought of resistance.
Just like Jiang Yan, who shamelessly clung to Yang Jian.
Psychological dependence outweighs material needs.
But this obedience stirred up a certain lost impulse in Yang Jian.
Quickly.
Yang Jian abruptly embraced her soft waist, lifted this mature woman horizontally, and walked towards the adjacent room.
“Mmm~!” Zhang Liqin let out a soft hum.
She understood what was about to happen next, her face turned red, she didn’t make a sound, didn’t resist, just closed her eyes and let this man she had only met for a day carry her into the room.
