An hour later.

“Croatia managed to pull back one ball. Mario Mandžukić scored!”

As the commentator spoke, the score for this match, which was already 70 minutes long, changed again to become 4:2.

Lin Wu sat at the end of the bed, staring at the score on the screen with disbelief. He was stunned.

And behind him, Li Luyao was sitting at the head of the bed, staring at the changing score on television. A moment later, her eyes shone brightly like she was a gambling addict who just won a bet with the odds of a few hundred times. She excitedly sat up straight.

“Oi, quickly look!”

Li Luyao sat behind Lin Wu and pulled on his arm as she shook excitedly. She emotionally spoke, “Did you see it? Did you see it? I didn’t lie to you, right? It’s 4:2!”

“You…” Lin Wu drew in a deep breath before turning to face her.

“Yes!” Li Luyao couldn’t help but nod. “You should believe me now, right? I’m really a reincarnator, I didn’t lie to you. I’m really your wife in the future!”

Lin Wu fell silent. He shook his head. “The match hasn’t concluded yet. This isn’t the final score.”

Li Luyao involuntarily became anxious. “France only needs to continue delaying. This is already the final score, why do you still not believe me?”

“…”

Lin Wu fell silent for a while. He lightly pulled away from her grasp and stood up, shaking his head slightly. “I’m going to wash my face first. Let me cool down before we speak.”

After speaking, he walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

Li Luyao involuntarily bit her lips, but she didn’t say anything. In any case, the match would end in twenty minutes. She would at most just wait a little more.

At the start, she had been somewhat unsure.

After all, even though she had reincarnated, she couldn’t guarantee that everything would remain unchanged. She was very worried about what would happen if the score for the world cup finals was different from what she remembered.

Now from the looks of things, if she didn’t meddle, the future would still happen according to its supposed trajectory.

And her blind date with Lin Wu had completely changed Lin Wu’s future.

It also changed her future that was originally full of suffering.

“I no longer wish to endure a future like that…”

Li Luyao bit her lips as she sat at the head of the bed. Her hands slowly hugged her kneecaps, and she drew in a deep breath. Determination flashed in her gaze. “I have to hurry up and get married with Lin Wu to get rid of her… After that, we will leave everything here far behind…”

In the dim room, she was staring at the television screen in a daze. The flashing lights on the screen illuminated her face, causing her complexion to flicker indeterminately.

At this moment, an indistinct low chanting voice drifted over from outside the door.

“Alive or dead, together or apart, the two of you have a promise with each other…”

Li Luyao first started slightly, after that, her complexion instantly turned pale.

…

…

In the bathroom.

Hua~

Before the basin, the icy stream of water continued to flow from the faucet. Lin Wu used both his hands to cup some water and splash that on his face. He allowed the coldness from the water droplets to spread and calm his heart down.

After some time.

Lin Wu drew in a deep breath. He slowly lifted his head and wiped away the water droplets on his face. Then he stared at his reflection.

The encounters he had today felt a little too ridiculous. This caused him to be unable to recover from it for a while.

In truth, when he had seen the earlier score of the match, he already started to believe Li Luyao.

If she wasn’t certain, how would she be confident enough to wait and watch the match until the 4:2 score was out with him?

Earlier, when the score had reached 4:2, he finally believed her.

Li Luyao was truly a reincarnator!

All the ridiculous actions she did earlier, including those baffling words…If it was spoken under the prerequisite that she really was a reincarnator, everything would make sense.

“Reincarnator…”

Lin Wu narrowed his eyes slightly as he recalled that strange reader that posted on his book-review zone.

Like an internet spirit.

Earlier, the one knocking on his laptop screen might very well be that reader.

Also, the reader ‘I have returned’, even knew that he should have died today. This was also coincidentally the time when Li Luyao said that he would encounter a car accident.

If all these weren’t a coincidence, it meant that the reader ‘I have returned’ was most probably a reincarnator as well!

“Reincarnated into an internet spirit?”

Lin Wu felt his scalp turning somewhat numb. Why did he feel as though he managed to guess it?

But he still had something he didn’t understand.

According to that reader, he should have died in a car accident this afternoon. Moreover, Li Luyao also knew about this.

But if he died, how was he supposed to have married Li Luyao?

“Could it be that I didn’t die? I was only heavily injured so I couldn’t update my novel?”

Lin Wu furrowed his brows slightly while he guessed in his heart. “Or maybe, Li Luyao is lying to me. In truth, I have never married her? But, why do I feel that she isn’t lying…?”

“However, given her excellent conditions, if she doesn’t have any feelings for me, why must she marry me no matter what?”

“What reason is there exactly for someone like her to have to marry me?”

“Also as for that wedding ring. Why would I give such an old-fashioned silver ring to her?”

The riddles in Lin Wu’s heart increased even more. He subconsciously touched his pocket and was preparing to take the ring out so he could analyze it properly.

“Mn?”

Lin Wu’s expression changed slightly. He attentively touched his pocket again, but there was nothing in there.

“What’s going on? I clearly kept it properly…”

Lin Wu frowned and carefully did a search, but he discovered that the ring had truly disappeared.

“Strange…”

“I didn’t do anything, how could I lose it?” Lin Wu felt some disbelief.

Earlier, he had been simply sitting at the end of the bed while watching the match. He didn’t do the intense exercise he was fantasizing about. He had thought that she might be playing a badger game, or she might fight him. There was also a possibility that she got too into it from laying her beauty trap and really wanted him in bed.

However, he was merely sitting there quietly. It was impossible for him to lose the ring.

Although Li Luyao was lying behind him and they were sharing a bed, she was very honest and terrified. She didn’t even touch him.

Also, the pocket was so deep. If someone stole the ring, it was impossible that he felt nothing.

Unless…the person who stole it was not a human.

“Mn?”

All of a sudden, a memory flashed across Lin Wu’s mind…

…

“Can you accompany me tonight?”

“Ha? We just got to know each other. This isn’t too good, right?”

“I don’t mean it that way. It’s just that…I’m afraid…night..so I want you to accompany me.”

You can turn on the lights while you are sleeping. It can’t be that you are concerned about the electric fees, right?”

“I’m not afraid of the dark…”

“Then, what are you afraid of? Could it be that you are afraid of ghosts?”

…

Lin Wu remembered clearly that when Li Luyao had heard him asking this question, her expression turned somewhat unsightly and she even nodded ahead.

(Afraid of ghosts?)

Lin Wu drew a deep breath and involuntarily shook his head. How could there be so many ghosts?

Could the reason behind why she wanted to marry him be because she was afraid of ghosts?

What? Was she treating him as Zhong Kui?

“Forget it, I’ll just ask her.”

Lin Wu also didn’t want to think too much. He then turned the faucet off in passing and took out a paper towel to wipe off the water droplets on his face and hands. After that, he pushed the door open and walked out of the bathroom.

Just when he left the bathroom, Lin Wu discovered that Li Luyao had disappeared.

No, it wasn’t that she disappeared.

Her entire person was curled up into a ball underneath the blanket. Even her head was covered fully.

“What the hell?”

Lin Wu started slightly. He walked closer for a look and discovered that she was not only hiding in the blankets, but she was also shivering.

What was she so afraid of?

Lin Wu’s heart suddenly chilled. He carefully sat down by the bedside and lightly patted Li Luyao’s shoulder as he asked, “What’s going on with you?”

He slowly lifted the blanket, revealing Li Luyao’s charming face that was filled with terror.

“Lin Wu!”

When she saw that the person who appeared was Lin Wu, it was as though she was grabbing at her last straw of hope. She hurriedly grabbed his arm and used force to pull him into her embrace. Her entire body was trembling.

“What happened?” Lin Wu asked in a low voice.

After that, he only saw Li Luyao lifting her right hand while still shaking. Her voice quivered. “She…she came again…and put the ring on my finger once more…”

Lin Wu stared at her white and dainty hands, and his expression involuntarily changed.

The simple-looking silvery-grey ring that he had lost was now quietly fixed around Li Luyao’s middle finger.

It was like…the ring always ought to be on her finger.

“Who? Who put it on for you?” Lin Wu hurriedly asked.

“She…” Li Luyao’s voice trembled. Just as she wanted to speak, her expression became wooden as she fearfully stared at the space behind Lin Wu.

“She…She is just behind you…”
