Chapter 376 - 378: The Ultimate Love Brain
What goes around comes around. This female ghost had possessed the woman’s phone while she was secretly filming people.
Today’s livestream from the Daoist Temple was over. Su Nian turned off her phone and left.
She had accumulated a great deal of merit, and it wouldn’t be long before she could leave this plane of existence.
Su Nian sat in her convertible, silently watching the traffic light.
It was impossible to tell what was on her mind.
BEEP!
"Hey, beautiful!"
A black luxury car had pulled up beside her.
The driver was a portly, middle-aged man. He had a smile plastered on his face, giving him a bloated, sleazy look.
"Hey beautiful, how about we get to know each other?"
The sleazy driver gave a what-he-thought-was-a-dashing flip of his hair, revealing a balding forehead. He seemed completely unaware, his self-satisfaction palpable.
It was high noon, and the sun was glaring. He’d spotted this incredibly ostentatious red supercar from a distance.
As he got a little closer, he realized the driver was a stunning beauty!
He’d hit a red light, so naturally, he slammed on the brakes and pulled to a stop beside her.
A wide grin spread across his face; she was an absolute knockout!
Su Nian glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
’Thick lips, a balding, oversized forehead... The sleaze was practically oozing out of his car.’
’Still, for a sleazy oaf, his character doesn’t seem too bad.’
Su Nian averted her gaze and ignored him, driving forward as the light changed.
Her car left the city limits and began to climb the winding mountain road.
This was the new villa her junior assistant had picked out. The assistant had insisted several times that Su Nian come and take a look.
But the sleazy driver hadn’t given up. He followed Su Nian onto the mountain road, continuously trying to strike up a conversation with her.
"Hey, beautiful, how about we exchange contact info? Hello! My name is Chen Peng, but you can just call me Da Peng!"
He kept sticking his head out of his window to shout at her.
He shouted a few more times, but Su Nian gave him no response whatsoever.
Su Nian didn’t spare him a single glance, even as she pulled into a residential community. He, however, followed her right in.
It was a new development. The apartment buildings at the entrance were still under construction and not yet finished.
The villa section in the back, however, was already complete.
Da Peng followed Su Nian, grinning. "Hehe, what a coincidence! We live in the same community..."
Only then did Su Nian finally raise her eyes to look at him.
"Don’t move."
Da Peng, who had been about to walk on, instantly deflated when he heard her words.
’Is my goddess really this against me?’
SOB SOB SOB!
But in the next second...
THUD!
Something came crashing down, landing right on the tips of his toes. It had nearly hit him in the head.
Su Nian was already some distance away. She opened the door to her villa—it really was quite nice.
’No wonder her assistant had been so smug about it.’
After resting for a bit, Su Nian started her livestream at her usual time.
Her fans were already waiting. The moment Su Nian went live, a flood of viewers poured in.
[First! Screenshotting for posterity!]
[I feel super lucky today! I’m definitely gonna win the draw!]
[Feeling lucky? Then you’re definitely not getting picked!]
[Only the unluckiest people get chosen on this stream!]
Su Nian just smiled as she read the comments, not saying anything.
"Today’s stream is about to begin. If you’re in need of help, please give me a follow, and then you can enter the drawing."
As Su Nian spoke, she started the giveaway, sending out the "lucky bag" just as she always did.
The viewers were chatting excitedly, but their fingers were nimble as they scrambled to claim the lucky bag.
It was a skill they had long since honed in Su Nian’s streams.
If you didn’t have reflexes like that, you couldn’t even call yourself a long-time fan.
[Congratulations to [Wants a Hot High School Boy] for claiming the host’s lucky bag.]
[I’m so pissed! So pissed! Why isn’t it me again?]
[Forget hot high school boys, how about a college athlete?]
[I’m different. I’m all about the domineering CEO type!]
[Hehe... I’m all about those soldier boys.]
While the chat was buzzing with discussion, Su Nian contacted the first lucky winner of the day, [Wants a Hot High School Boy]. After a quick chat, she initiated the video call.
A young woman in her early twenties soon appeared on the screen.
Her skin was a bit sallow, and her hair was tied back messily.
She was sitting on her bed, and the camera angle showed the cozy-looking space, its walls covered in posters of male celebrities.
[Welcome, our second "fated one".]
[Welcome, unlucky soul!]
[Welcome, our next big chump!]
[Keep trying, sis! You can get that high school boy too! You got this!]
[You’re a little old to be wanting a high schooler. How about checking out an older guy like me?]
[Wants a Hot High School Boy] scratched her head and gave a slightly sheepish smile. Her eyes were bright, and her expression turned to one of excitement.
"Host, I just knew I’d be able to win the lucky bag!"
Su Nian played along. "Oh? And why is that?"
"Because I’ve been haunted recently! And I keep dreaming about him!"
The words were barely out of her mouth before people in the chat with similar experiences started venting their frustrations.
[Don’t even start. I get sleep paralysis all the time, and I still can’t win the host’s giveaway!]
[Maybe the ghost this girl ran into is just stronger?]
[I just want to know how to get rid of sleep paralysis!]
[Yeah, I had it today, and it was awful!]
Su Nian noted the girl’s dark circles and sallow complexion.
She asked, "So, you need me to get rid of the ghost for you?"
But the girl’s expression turned bashful. She waved her hands dismissively and hesitated for a few minutes before saying shyly.
"That’s not it, Host. I wanted to ask you..."
She paused, as if reorganizing her thoughts.
"So... there’s this girl. She has some bad habits, but she’s a really kind person."
"Can... can she date a ghost?"
The viewers in the chat: ???
[What does that mean? What does that MEAN?]
[Is she saying what I think she’s saying?]
[Wow, couldn’t tell you had such... unique tastes.]
[I’m beyond shocked. It really takes all kinds to make a world.]
Su Nian fell silent. She knew exactly what the girl was asking.
’But to get haunted and then want to date the ghost?’
’Could there be a more extreme case of being love-obsessed?’
[Wants a Hot High School Boy] rubbed her face, her expression genuinely troubled. She didn’t seem to be faking it.
Her words were earnest. "Host, I’m not kidding. I just really want to be in a relationship!"
"Oh, by the way, did you guys see that new movie about scammers that came out a few days ago?"
But then she abruptly changed the subject.
[What’s she on about now? What does this have to do with her wanting to date a ghost?]
[I’m totally numb now. I can’t believe people this wild actually exist.]
[Dating a ghost... how could you even come up with that? Do you have a death wish?]
[This is seriously wild. This world is blowing my mind!]
"Hey, just listen to me for a second."
The girl, a little flustered, cleared her throat and tried to compose herself as she began her story.
"So, in that scammer movie, there’s this enforcer, and at the end, he lets the female lead go. Don’t you guys think he was super hot?"
"I wish he’d scam me, too!"
The girl cupped her face in her hands, her voice giddy. The light in her eyes practically turned into literal stars.
