Lin Wu let out a dry laugh and asked, “You’re saying… a female ghost like “Nie Xiaoqian [1]?”
“Nie Xiaoqian?”
Li Luyao chuckled. “Those people who can become ghosts after they die have stronger obsessions for the living. They must either have strong resentment or were in great agony before they died. How could they possibly be unscathed?”
The smile on Lin Wu’s face was instantly frozen.
Li Luyao smiled secretly and continued saying, “Take for example ghosts that committed suicide by hanging themselves to death. When she sticks out her tongue, it would be so long that it can wrap you up. En, you can save on the ropes if you were to do bondage play.”
The corners of Lin Wu’s eyes twitched slightly.
“And as for those ghosts that jumped off buildings, it’d be fine if they were to land on their feet first. They’d at least still have their upper bodies.” Li Luyao continued to say, “If their faces came into contact with the ground first, then their faces would be a bloody mess, and even their skull would have shattered. They might just be having brains leaking out while they call you hubby.”
“… Alright, that’s enough. Stop it.” Lin Wu waved his hand, his face turning pale. He no longer dared to have beautiful delusions toward female ghosts.
The corners of Li Luyao’s lips curled up slightly. She threw Lin Wu a glance before letting him off.
“Oh, right, how did I look after turning into a ghost?” Lin Wu asked curiously.
“I have no idea either.” Li Luyao shook her head.
Lin Wu was stunned. “Didn’t you get married to me? Why would you not know?” Li Luyao fell silent and gently shook her head, saying, “You’d appear behind me every time, and I’ve never seen your looks before. I only felt that your body is like ice. And…”
As she said this, she frowned slightly as if recalling her memories.
“What?” Lin Wu looked at her.
Li Luyao frowned and said, “I recall that you have a strong stench of blood on you, and you seem to be constantly trembling. You might be holding in the pain. Of course, this is just my feeling. Ghosts don’t bleed. It might be that you had experienced something when you were alive.”
Lin Wu felt increasingly perplexed, and he asked, “Since you’ve never seen me in person, how do you know that the ghost who had gotten into a netherworld marriage with you is me?”
“You were the one who told me yourself, and the matchmaker knows that it’s you as well.” Li Luyao spoke in a soft voice, “If it wasn’t you, I’d be considered to be in an extramarital affair to have a matchmaking session with you. I would have been killed by the matchmaker.”
“That’s true.” Lin Wu nodded.
Li Luyao then sighed and said, “I’m not the only one. Those women that I know of who had also gotten into a netherworld marriage with you haven’t seen you before either. You’d appear from the back every time.”
“From the back?” Lin Wu stroked his chin, nodding and said, “En, it’s true that I quite like this position…”
Li Luyao’s face turned dark, not wanting to talk anymore.
She hadn’t expected that the icy-cold and terrifying vicious ghost that would appear in the future was actually such a thick-faced coward that was a little lewd.
If it wasn’t because things had been verified, she wouldn’t believe that they were the same person.
“Erm, I was just joking. I’m still a virgin.” Lin Wu coughed.
Li Luyao felt a little stuffy. When this guy was a vicious ghost, he would make sure that he would do everything he said he would, never lying. To think that his mouth was full of bullshit when he was alive.
“Whatever.”
Li Luyao shook her head and looked at the time. She then turned to look at this man who had been taken care of. “It’s already 1 a.m.. We should rest. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to your place with you to get your household register, then let’s get the marriage certificate earlier.”
“Alright, let’s sleep then.” Lin Wu nodded and flipped up the blankets, wanting to lay down.
Li Luyao was stunned, and she quickly tugged the blankets toward her while looking at Lin Wu in a bit of a horror. “Wait a minute, aren’t you going back to sleep?”
“Aren’t we getting married? Of course we’ll sleep together.” Lin Wu held back his smile, throwing her a glance as if this was a matter-of-fact. He sat down next to her and leaned against the headboard, resting on his arms.
“No… This is too fast. You should at least give me some time to get used to this.” Li Luyao said, appearing a little troubled.
She didn’t dare to be too unyielding either. Otherwise, what would happen if she were to irritate Lin Wu and he ended up refusing to marry her?
Lin Wu threw her a glance and then closed his eyes, saying casually, “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. I only feel that your room isn’t bad and thus am sleeping here.”
Li Luyao would naturally not believe in his bullshit. She gritted her teeth and said, “Then you can sleep here. I’ll go to your room to sleep.”
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still a little unwilling.
However, she was surprised that after Lin Wu opened his eyes and looked at her, he didn’t force her to stay. Instead, he pulled out his room’s card from his pocket and tossed it onto the bed.
“Up to you.”
After that, Lin Wu closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Li Luyao was a little stunned as she looked at the room’s card. She was in a little bit of disbelief. To think that he would let her off so easily?
Could it be that this guy really wasn’t thinking of doing anything, but was just planning to sleep in her room?
However, since Lin Wu didn’t force her to stay, she naturally was in no rush to give away her first time. That could wait after they got married first. She would just drag it out for as long as she could.
“Thank you, Lin Wu. Goodnight.”
Li Luyao felt a little relieved. She grabbed her pajamas that were on the bed, took the room card, and then got off the bed, wanting to head to Lin Wu’s room to sleep.
“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you.”
Lin Wu didn’t open his eyes but suddenly said, “Remember, don’t look at the computer no matter what. If you hear any knocking sounds at night, don’t be curious.”
Li Luyao was slightly stunned. She stopped in her footsteps and couldn’t help but turn and ask, “What do you mean?”
Lin Wu opened his eyes and looked at her, putting out his hands helplessly. “It’s because there’s a ghost in my room, waiting for me to go back.”
“There’s a ghost in your room?”
Li Luyao’s countenance changed.
“That’s right.” Lin Wu nodded and smiled, saying, “Otherwise, why would I be sleeping in your room? You aren’t letting me have sleep [2] with you anyway. If it’s just sleeping, what’s so interesting about purely sleeping in the same bed as you?”
Chinese was very deep and profound. The two uses of the word ‘sleep’ here were very different.
“Is that true?” Li Luyao found this a little unbelievable. This guy couldn’t be intentionally lying to her just so that she would stay behind, right?
“It’s up to you on whether you want to believe it or not.”
Li Luyao shrugged, not minding if she believed him. “The ghost in my room is probably one of my readers. Before you looked for me last night, that reader was knocking on my screen. But don’t worry. That reader’s obsession is me, so they likely won’t bring you any trouble. You can sleep in peace.”
Li Luyao was stunned and suddenly recalled what happened earlier.
Lin Wu had asked her if she had knocked on his door. After having heard her reply, he had then knocked on the screen, and his countenance had changed thereafter. He had also tried to look around for someone in the room but failed to find anything. After that, he had insisted on pulling her to her room, as if he was hiding from someone.
By the looks of it, he was actually hiding from a ghost?
Her beautiful face turned a little pale.
It was so close. She was just so close from running to a room to stay together with a ghost.
At the thought of this, she couldn’t help but glare at Lin Wu.
This guy knew well that there was a ghost but had intentionally waited until she was about to leave before reminding her about it. He probably wanted to scare her.
But even if she knew that was the case, her only option was to stay behind.
“Why? There’s no need to be scared.” Lin Wu looked at Li Luyao with a hint of a smile. “Don’t worry, my reader is very nice. Not only did they remind me to take note of my safety when I go out, but they also knocked on the screen to ask for more releases. That’s so polite.”
“…”
Li Luyao’s face turned pale from hearing this and felt very speechless.
Sleep in peace?
How could she possibly dare to sleep in that room after knowing that there was a ghost there?
She wasn’t a priest who would insist on heading to a haunted room whilst knowing that there was a ghost inside.
Being slept by Lin Wu was better than sleeping in the same room with a ghost. They were going to get married tomorrow anyway, and it was just one day difference.
Li Luyao gritted her teeth and walked back to the bed, her head lowered. She sat down slowly.
“Why are you seated? Lay down.” Lin Wu leaned against the headboard as he watched her walking over. He couldn’t help but smile as he patted the space next to him.
“…”
Li Luyao looked at how he seemed bent on eating her up. She couldn’t help but bite her lips. Having made up her mind, she lay down slowly.
It could be out of habit that even after she was reincarnated, she still acted as if they were in a netherworld marriage. Her back was facing Lin Wu, and she slowly closed her eyes, as if she was a criminal that was about to receive a sentence.
As if a small shrimp, she had her hands crossed in front of her chest, and her ten fingers were clenched tightly together. Her long and slender legs were also curled up.
Her heart was pounding furiously, and her entire body was tensed up.
This was the first time she had shared a bed with someone of the opposite sex after her reincarnation.
Or rather, a living guy.
Even if her back was facing Lin Wu, Li Luyao could also sense that they were only inches apart. As long as he put out his hand, he would be able to touch her body.
Then, she felt Lin Wu leaning toward her.
