My Husband Can Make It Rain - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

During my senior year of high school, I took a leave of absence to get married.

Yes. I freaking took time off school to get married!

I was practically defying the heavens with how ridiculous I was!

Of course, this wedding was nothing like a normal one. The marriage certificate was just a pale yellow sheet of paper.

All I remembered was that there was an unfamiliar name on it: Song Huaijing.

I put on the wedding outfit my mom had gotten from the fortune-teller. It was a traditional Chinese wedding dress, and its vivid red was impossible to ignore.

According to custom, the fortune-teller acted as the master of ceremonies.

Mm…

He was holding a small wooden box, and inside it was my jade pendant.

I bowed to Heaven and Earth and got married to a jade pendant.

Let’s just say the grandest wedding ceremony I’d ever had was also the most absurd!

On my wedding night, I lay in bed trembling, because that old fortune-teller had said my new husband would come consummate the marriage with me.

As for what he would do to me, well, that was entirely unpredictable.

It was my first time getting married, so of course I was scared. Besides, there was a very high chance my husband wasn’t human.

By midnight, there was still no movement in the room.

Just when I couldn’t hold out anymore and was about to fall asleep, I heard the sound of the window shifting in the wind, a soft rustling and whispering.

In my daze, I felt one side of the bed sink down.

I wanted to open my eyes, but no matter what I did, I couldn’t.

A weight suddenly pressed down on me, and I couldn’t move at all.

A breath of cold air brushed past my ear, making me shudder.

In the quiet night, moonlight spilled through the window and across my face. In the empty room, aside from the sound of my breathing, there was also an unfamiliar man’s cool, detached voice.

“I haven’t even touched you yet. What are you shaking for?”

I could clearly feel the temperature around me plummet. My whole body went cold.

A ghost. I had seriously run into a ghost.

Trembling, I blurted out some nonsense: “P-Par… Parkinson’s. It’s acting up.”

Help. What the hell was I saying?!

Then I heard him let out a cold scoff. The chill gradually faded, and it didn’t seem quite so cold anymore.

A long silence passed, and I heard nothing else.

Gathering my courage, I opened my eyes, wanting to see who this man who had apparently evolved from a jade pendant really was.

In the end, I didn’t see a single shadow.

Hiss-

“Your Parkinson’s is cured?” That cool voice came from somewhere nearby.

“Ahh!!” I screamed in fright.

My vision suddenly went black, and my mouth felt as if it had been covered. I couldn’t make a sound.

But there was a faint sting on my shoulder, like something had bitten me.

The temperature dropped again. So cold.

“Don’t scream. I don’t want to be mistaken for a beast.

“I’ll come back when you’re an adult.”

With that, a cool breeze swept past. The room fell silent again, just like usual, as if no one had ever come.

Me: ?

Damn it. He scared me all night, and in the end, I still didn’t even get to see this Jade Pendant Spirit?
