The name "Thousand-Meter Outlook" was a casual thought from Su Mother, reminiscent of a villa in a certain city. Perhaps she didn't think much of it at the time and was unwilling to brainstorm a new name, so she simply borrowed it, knowing that this wouldn't infringe on any rights.
A house needs a name, just like a pet. After spending a considerable amount on renovations, it was meant to be a place for relaxation in later years. However, Ding Li unexpectedly suggested this place early on to avoid Ye Chenfeng.
She had many reasons to persuade Su Mother to agree to this arrangement.
She candidly expressed her dislike for Ye Chenfeng, stating that if he hadn't been so persistent, she would have left him long ago.
Su Mother was quite fond of Ding Li.
Since she regarded Ye Chenfeng as her own son, she felt the need to involve herself in his future and marriage.
Su Mother disapproved of Ding Li's family situation.
A girl without parents—her independence could be seen as both a blessing and a curse. The concern was that her strong independence might backfire.
Thus, Ding Li made a deal with Su Mother: she would no longer see Ye Chenfeng from that point forward.
In turn, Su Mother introduced her niece Hu Yun to Ye Chenfeng, believing that strengthening family ties was better than supporting an outsider.
Ding Li was driven there by Su Dad.
On the day of her arrival, the sky was overcast, mirroring her heavy heart. She didn't look back; there seemed to be no need for it. Su Mother's idea was excellent; once implemented, it would quickly sever Ye Chenfeng's lingering thoughts about her.
As they approached Ye Chenfeng's place, her heart ached sharply.
Her eyes betrayed her emotions, becoming moist. Since getting into the car, Ding Li hadn't uttered a single word.
Su Dad glanced at her several times through the rearview mirror, but she kept her head down and refused to sit in the passenger seat beside him.
Ding Li uninstalled QQ and did not leave a message to explain. She was mentally prepared to go on a date with death. She has been having nightmares recently, in which her mother's cold hands grabbed her and said, "Come here, daughter, let's go together." She also dreamed of the man who fell out of the window after having a secret meeting with her mother. This man was very attractive, and she was touched by it. It should be said that he was very masculine. Ding Li Based on the image of this man, quietly set what kind of boyfriend you will find in the future? In the days after her mother's accident, Ding Li huddled in the house, waiting for death to come. But death didn't agree on when it would appear. She didn't wait for death. She waited for two people. One is Ye Chenfeng, and the other is Shen Binghan. Little Monk is quite interesting. He secretly gave Ding Li an exorcism charm, and Shen Binghan said there was something on her body, but he was not sure what it was. And told her to stay with Ye Chenfeng no matter where she is. Perhaps because of Ye Chenfeng, death did not come to her, and even her appearance did not look as scary as she imagined. Ding Li feels that the happiest time is very short. When she is with Ye Chenfeng, she is very happy and satisfied. However, her happiness was always mixed with some factors of past unhappiness. She could not forget being alone in a dark room, listening with ears to see if anyone was coming from the door. She didn't want to turn on the light, and she didn't want to leave herself alone in a big, empty room. Ding Li witnessed death for the first time. That car had four wheels, and the wheels rotated so fast that only a circle of dark light and shadow could be seen. She felt that the woman died a worthy death. She also saw the sad look of the old man who had lost his money. She had no sympathy at all and did not feel how terrible death was.
In an instant, it flickered out like a candle extinguished by a strong wind.
If she hadn't encountered Little Monk, Shen Binghan, and Ye Chenfeng, perhaps she would have remained in that room until someone discovered her—
Ding Li occasionally reminisced about sitting in the car with Ye Chenfeng, squeezed together on a small bed, playfully teasing each other. Just a little more, and she would have surrendered herself to him.
During that time, she was filled with contradictions; she wanted to be with him but feared the possibility of becoming pregnant. It was one thing for a living person to get pregnant, but what would happen if a dead person were to conceive?
The car sped forward, the passing scenery resembling life—fleeting and ephemeral.
Ding Li often compared herself to many stars who had died young.
Stars relied on luck, looks, and charm to win the adoration of fans, bringing in heaps of money. They were celebrated like celestial bodies but ultimately could not escape the grasp of death.
For stars, the first thirty years were spent trading their lives for money, while the last thirty were spent buying back their lives with that money. Some were fortunate enough to enjoy a vibrant life before their untimely demise, while others never had the chance to savor their success before falling away.
It was all too suffocating.
Su Dad thought that at Ding Li's age, she should be basking in the brilliance of youth. Seeing her downcast and silent made him wonder inwardly.
Su Mother hadn’t informed Su Dad about Ding Li’s purpose for going to Thousand-Meter Outlook.
As a man, he didn’t like prying into women’s affairs. He was merely tasked with taking Ding Li out for some fresh air and letting her spend some time at Thousand-Meter Outlook.
The car sped along quickly. Considering Ding Li’s mood, Su Dad asked, “Girl, do you want to slow down a bit and enjoy the scenery?”
“No.”
At that moment, Ding Li felt like a stagnant pool, lifeless and unwilling to stir even the slightest ripple. She seemed to sense the presence of a ghost beside her, one that was shrouded in deathly energy, with a pale complexion and blood-red eyes, staring intently at her.
This ghost was known as Ghost Granny.
"Have some water."
This time, Ding Li ignored Su Dad. She was afraid to lift her head, terrified enough to hug her knees and tremble all over.
The road here was still under construction and impassable by vehicle, so Su Dad had to walk, carrying all of Ding Li's belongings, taking five minutes to reach the villa.
The villa was built against the mountainside, surrounded by beautiful scenery, but the only drawback was that the road remained unfinished.
According to the original plan, once the road was completed, he would come here with his wife to enjoy their twilight years.
His son had left early; although Ye Chenfeng was quite filial, it wasn't the same as being at home.
He didn't have many expectations for Ye Chenfeng; he only hoped to spend a good old age with his wife.
On this bumpy dirt road, motorcycles and electric bikes passed by occasionally, and sometimes there were bicycles creaking along.
The people in the mountains were very warm-hearted. When they saw him struggling with heavy bags, they knew he had come from the city. Moreover, he was accompanied by a girl who walked with her head down, looking quite frail.
Some approached to offer help but quickly retreated upon learning they were heading to Evil Village.
What was wrong with Evil Village? Su Dad, coming from afar, naturally didn't know.
He didn't ask further and continued on with his bags, taking care of Ding Li as they entered Evil Village.
After purchasing the house in Evil Village, Su Dad had visited three times.
The first time was to pay the deposit, the second time was for the full payment, and the third time was to supervise the workers during renovations.
This time marked his fourth visit.
During his first visit, Su Dad got lost, so when he returned for the second time, he made special markings to guide himself.
Wasn't it a Bagua lamp? He marked a specific color on the path leading to his home; as long as he followed that color, he wouldn't get lost.
This time was no different. Su Dad told Ding Li to follow the red lights leading to their house.
The house was lovely, a two-story brick structure. It was a unique small unit with a garden filled with flowers and grass, featuring a wooden fence gate and a dedicated mailbox by the entrance.
After settling Ding Li in, Su Dad handed her the mailbox key before leaving, but unfortunately, she never used it even once.
Although the location was remote, postal services were quite attentive; they checked the dedicated mailbox every Wednesday.
Under Su Dad's watchful eye, Ding Li reluctantly ate a bowl of noodles before shaking her head and saying she had no appetite.
She accompanied Su Dad to the door.
Once he left, she circled a date in blue ink on a calendar, marking the day she moved in: the fifth of a certain month.

Ye Chenfeng wasted a lot of time searching for the route to Thousand-Meter Outlook.
The people living here are too few, and only the barking pet guided him to another villa.
The night wind was chilling, and the pitiful pet curled up under the eaves, a chain around its neck tethered to something on the other side. It was a curly-haired dog, and Ye Chenfeng couldn't name its breed; after all, he rarely paid attention to where these pets came from or what type they were.
He was unfamiliar with pets.
The pet glanced at him, lazily barked a couple of times, then wagged its curly tail, ignoring his presence entirely.
Ye Chenfeng looked around; every villa was identical, differing only in their orientation. Just as Biker had said, this place felt eerie.
He stepped onto the threshold and politely knocked on the door.
Knocking required skill.
You couldn't bang on a stranger's door; that would be rude and could easily provoke a harsh reprimand.
Ye Chenfeng stepped on fallen leaves beneath his feet, fresh ones that had just dropped. He raised his finger and tapped rhythmically: "Tap tap."
But he ended up knocking for quite some time, his outstretched finger growing numb.
Finally, the homeowner opened the door.
The homeowner was a robust man, not particularly handsome but very masculine. He had a buzz cut, dark skin, a strong physique, sharp teeth, and a cold gaze.
"Who are you looking for?"
The homeowner's tone was filled with hostility.
No one came to knock at this time unless they had a purpose.
"I’m looking for someone."
The homeowner was indeed furious. He turned around and shouted angrily at the person inside, "Look, your visitor has arrived." Without further ado, he grabbed Ye Chenfeng by the collar and dragged him into the house.
How could someone treat a stranger so rudely? Ye Chenfeng was infuriated but helpless as he was pulled inside.
The man was incredibly strong.
Once inside, he was taken aback.
There was a naked woman in the room.
The woman curled up on the floor, tears streaming down her face as she looked up at him.
Ye Chenfeng could swear he had never seen this woman before.
But from what the man said, it seemed as if he was someone significant to her.
"You've got it wrong; I'm here to find my girlfriend."
The rude man paused, not believing his words, and then glanced at the woman.
As soon as Ye Chenfeng entered the room, the woman quickly grabbed some clothes and put them on. Her delicate, pale legs trembled pitifully. She was afraid of the rude man and hurriedly shook her head, saying, "I don’t know him."
