Chapter 42: Turning into an Ice Sculpture

  "Do you think he can hear? Hahaha!" The blood-red lips floating in the air opened and closed, emitting a sharp laughter. Ge Fei... He couldn't hear, he was outside with Jiang Man Yun. Jiang Man Yun! Last time Ge Fei was injured because someone controlled Jiang Man Yun from behind, could it be that this time too...

  I didn't even have time to think before a pair of pale hands suddenly reached out towards me, this was the rhythm of choking my neck, damn it, why do these ghosts all like choking people's necks so much! I struggled desperately, but my struggles were completely futile against her.

  I wanted to scream, but she pinched me so hard that I couldn't make a sound. My whole body was lifted high into the air by a pair of hands floating in mid-air, and my head was pressed against the ceiling. Just when I thought I was going to die, a chill suddenly swept around me, followed by ice forming everywhere. The hands pinching me also turned to ice, as did my scattered and dismembered face.

  In the blink of an eye, Fang's body was pieced together into a complete corpse... uh, no, it shouldn't be called a corpse, because she, wrapped in ice, was staring at me with those big eyes.

  Facing her eyes, for a moment I seemed to see Jiang Man Yun's face, also separated by a thick layer of ice. She revealed a triumphant smile and said: "Ning Chen Xiang... do you think you can really seal me?"

  That feeling can't be described or explained, it's as if I've seen it before. Before I could even process what was happening, I found myself slamming onto the ground and having an intimate encounter with the floor.

  As I landed with a loud thud, Ge Fei burst in through the door. When he saw the "ice sculpture" on the ground, his originally anxious expression immediately turned to shock, his mouth agape like an egg, staring at the "ice sculpture" for half a second before he hastily helped me up and examined me from head to toe, asking: "Lin Sijia, are you okay?"

  "No wonder! Where were you when I called you just now? Do you know that I almost died just now?" I exclaimed tearfully to him.

  "Sorry……" Ge Fei's sudden hug left me at a loss, and I had to admit that in his arms, I always felt very at ease. My fear dissipated instantly, leaving only a belly full of grievances. With a sobbing tone, I asked: "Where did you go? Why couldn't I reach you when I called you earlier? You're usually so capable!"

  Ge Fei's hand on my back stiffened for a moment, and his words were hesitant: "I just... sent Man Yun away..."

  Seeing Jiang Man Yun, no wonder Fang Zhen just told Ge Fei that he couldn't hear him, it turned out he had left. I immediately broke free from his arms, wiped away my tears and pretended to be calm: "Uh"

  I'm not some kind of prime minister, and I couldn't even fill a boat with my belly. I'm just a small woman who can't tolerate sand in her eyes. When I heard him say that, I felt even more uncomfortable inside. My temper isn't great, but when I'm really feeling unwell, I don't say a word. After a faint hum, Ge Fei and I fell into an awkward silence.

  Ge Fei looked at me for a long time before speaking seriously: "I only regard Man Yun as my sister, no matter what, she and I have known each other for many years."

  He paused for a moment, then continued: "She and Xu Shiwei have known each other for many years. She seems to have realized something..."

  Man Yun Man Yun... calling out so intimately, previously saying she didn't like her, this is a world where ex-girlfriends and 'little sisters' are the most dangerous creatures, with just one careless move, little sister becomes beautiful eyebrow.

  "Man Yun? You're calling her so intimately! No wonder she was able to find you here!" I had wanted to hold back, but in the end, I couldn't bear it. Ge Fei and I were indeed incompatible, and we started arguing again after just a short while.

  Ge Fei frowned slightly: "She was able to find this place, most likely it was Shi Jie who told her, or else it would be Ye Jingchen. Lin Sijia, don't always drink such vinegar, okay?"

  "I'm not being jealous!" I interrupted him with a lack of confidence. Women are always insincere, and I'm no exception.

  Ge Fei's originally serious face floated up with a smug smile: "If you're going to be jealous, then just be jealous, why not admit it? I've told you so many times before, I won't laugh at you."

  As he spoke, the smile on his face grew even more mischievous. Son of a...! Is this what they call 'I'm not laughing at you'? The atmosphere, which wasn't great to begin with, instantly returned to its original state after he smiled like that. Ge Fei pulled me along while kicking the ice sculpture on the ground, asking me in confusion: "How did she end up like this? I heard you screaming when I came back just now and thought something had happened to you, but... it seems... it seems like something happened to her instead."

  Looking at Ge Fei's expression, it was clear that he knew the woman in the ice sculpture was Fang Zhiwan. Speaking of this matter, I was even more puzzled. I glanced at the ice sculpture lying on the ground, motionless, and she was still staring at me.

  I shook my head decisively: "I don't know... maybe it's because I'm too kind, so the gods saved me. Hmph! If you hadn't let Jiang Man Yun in, could she have entered?"

  Ge Fei's face was inexplicable: "What does this have to do with Man Yun?"

  As soon as I heard Ge Fei's words, the fire that had just been suppressed suddenly flared up again. With a vicious kick, I launched into a tirade: "Hey, old man Ge, is it true that whenever you see a beautiful woman, your brain turns to mush? How can you say there's no connection?! Last time, you got hurt because Jiang Man Yun was being held back by someone and you were ambushed. This time, I almost got killed, and then Jiang Man Yun showed up. You sent her away, and then Fang Xiang came running over to kill me? Are you going to tell me that's just a coincidence?! And then you say Man Yun is innocent, that she's just a naive little girl who doesn't know any better."

  Huh? I feel like I've said this before, but I just can't remember when... Yeah, it must be because those dead guys have been torturing me so much lately that I'm starting to hallucinate. My head keeps popping up with these inexplicable images.

  Ge Fei looked at me with a dark face: "I'm telling you, Lin Si Jia, stop daydreaming, okay? Didn't I make myself clear? She's very familiar with Xu Shi Wei. When she confessed to me before, I bluntly rejected her and already showed my hand. If I reject her again now and don't even give her any face, I'll be discovered soon. Do you know what the consequences of being discovered are? I'll be hunted down! How come you're becoming more and more like Wang Da Ma?"

  "You're just like Wang Dama!" I gave him a white eye, and whispered back. The Wang Dama mentioned here was an old lady who sold fried potatoes near our school when Ge Fei and I were in high school. She was gossipy, liked to guess, had a bad memory, and often said we ate things without paying for them.

  Although I talked back, but actually I also think that I myself am too unreasonable, didn't ask anything clearly and then quarreled with Ge Fei.

  Ge Fei looked at the ice sculpture on the ground, his face displeased: "Alright, alright, I'm like Wang Dama and you're like Liu Yifei, okay? Let's not dwell on this issue anymore, okay? I ask you... how did she get in?"

  "How did I know, I was still wondering! She suddenly ran out of the album and wanted to strangle me to death, then she was frozen." I replied with a straight face, I found that every time I quarreled with Ge Fei, I got so angry that I even forgot to be afraid.

  "Album! What album! Is it... a red one... that looks like a diary?" Ge Fei suddenly became tense, his face also becoming very unsightly.
