Xia Han once again pinned Chuzheng onto the sofa and gave her a lengthy kiss, until they had their fill of fun, and Chuzheng got up to warm up some food for him.
Xia Han was curious, âLittle Beauty, did you make this?â
âNot interested.â Cooking was such a hassle; she would be crazy to do it.
Xia Han, âThen what are you interested in?â
Chuzhengâs gaze landed on him, and Xia Han looked at her expectantly, thinking she would express interest in him.
But she shook her head, âNothing.â
Xia Han, ââ¦â
âWhat about me?â Xia Han pointed at himself.
âWhat about you?â
âArenât you interested in me?â
âYouâre mine, why should I be interested in you?â
âIf youâre not interested in me, why do you think Iâm yours?â Shouldnât it be that you first become interested before you arrive at that conclusion?
âYou just are mine.â Chuzheng defended her claim fiercely.
Xia Han, ââ¦â
Xia Han thought that Chuzheng was like a little lion defending her territory, incredibly cute.
He leaned in to kiss her, âOkay, Iâm yours.â
Chuzheng, disliking the closeness, pushed him away, âEat your food.â
Xia Han chuckled softly and, despite Chuzhengâs stern look, happily ate his meal.
The Little Beauty was truly adorable.
The more he watched, the more adorable she seemed.
After Xia Han had finished eating, he didnât let Chuzheng clean up but tidied up the table himself.
Once everything was put away, Xia Han looked upstairs and asked, âLittle Beauty, do you still plan on locking me up?â
âMhm.â Chuzheng nodded rapidly without any hesitation.
Xia Han, ââ¦â
Without struggling, Xia Han only asked her, âWill you sleep with me?â
âWhy should I sleep with you?â Chuzheng retorted righteously.
âWeâ¦â Xia Han stuttered, âjust⦠I want to sleep with you.â
Chuzheng was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, âMhm.â
Xia Han stepped forward quickly and picked Chuzheng up, âThen letâs go to sleep.â
âDidnât you just wake up?â Just woke up and back to sleep, are you a pig?
âLittle Beauty, donât you know that being with someone you like never gets old?â
âNonsense.â
âItâs not nonsense. I just want to be with you, always together, not even a second apart.â
âShould I follow you to the bathroom as well?â
Xia Han smiled with a hint of ambiguity, âLittle Beauty, if you donât mind, I wouldnât refuse.â
âYou have some⦠special interests.â
âArenât you my interest?â Xia Han placed Chuzheng on the bed, âYouâre the special one.â
âMhm.â Chuzheng nodded her head, naturally accepting the compliment.
ââ¦â The Little Beautyâs way of thinking was truly unfathomable.
Xia Han freshened up and lay down beside Chuzheng, turned off the light, and took her into his arms.
Chuzhengâs face pressed against the clasp of his clothing, through the thin layer of fabric, she could hear the sound of his heartbeat.
âWhere did you get this garment?â Chuzheng finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
Why did he always wear this outfit without ever changing it?
She had never seen him wash it, but the garment never seemed to get dirty, always looking fresh and clean.
âThis?â Xia Han raised his hand slightly, âA ghost gave it to me.â
âA ghost?â
âThat was two years after I first arrived at Taokong Mountainâ¦â
Xia Han had stayed on Taokong Mountain for two years, and it was the first time he had descended from the mountain.
An elder had taken them to a place because an Evil Ghost had appeared there.
It was probably the first time Xia Han had encountered such a powerful Evil Ghost.
He had been captured, but unexpectedly, the Evil Ghost did not harm him. Instead, it let him walk deeper into the place, and then he obtained this garment.
âIt said that as long as I wore this garment, I would become very powerfulâ¦â Xia Han sighed, âBut I might have been tricked. Still, itâs not bad, at least it doesnât get dirty and it grows with my height, so I donât need to change it.â
Chuzheng ran her fingers over the patterns on Xia Hanâs clothes.
This garment must not be a Magic Artifact, otherwise, she would have been roasted by now.
But aside from this, Xia Han couldnât provide more details.
There was nothing wrong with the garment.
At least for now, no problems could be discerned.
â
Chuzheng, as the newly appointed Ghost King, was no longer troubled by the ghosts nearby.
Under the trend of Chuzheng emptying the Gold Pointing Pavilion, Xia Hanâs reputation grew, and you had to start making appointments to see him.
His fellow disciples looked at him very strangely.
How did an orphan who had been unwanted since childhood suddenly become so rich?
He used his tools as freely as running water.
âLittle Beauty, donât you think this is veryâ¦â Xia Han didnât know how to describe it: ânot very good?â
âWhy is it not good?â
Xia Han paced in place, anxious, âRight now, I catch ghosts with tools, but what will I do without them in the future? If someone comes to me and I canât do it, it will disappoint them. I feel like Iâm deceiving them, and I donât want to do it anymore.â
âYou have me.â
Xia Han stopped in his tracks and looked towards the girl sitting beside him.
âI still donât want to do it,â he shook his head seriously, âI want to be with you and live an ordinary life.â
Chuzheng replied softly, âThen letâs not do it.â
Sometimes Xia Han really didnât know what to do.
Except for some occasions, she really went along with him, his word was her command.
Of course, it would be even better if she didnât always think of locking herself away.
Just as Xia Han decided to wash his hands of his past life, someone very unexpected came knocking at the door.
âLooking for Xia Han to catch ghosts.
Chuzheng threw the person out without mercy and even gave them a scare.
âBaby, do you know him?â
Chuzheng minded the nickname âBaby,â but couldnât quite put her finger on why.
She just found the name a bit peculiar, yet it had a touch of familiarityâ¦
âHe was involved in killing me.â
Xia Han was startled, turning his head to look at her.
The girl looked calmly at Murong Yi, who scrambled away, showing no excess emotion.
Xia Han held onto her: âIâll help you get revenge.â
âNo need, itâs almost settled.â
Xia Han: â?â
Xia Han soon understood what Chuzheng meant by almost settled.
Murong Yi, terrified into near insanity, went to the police to confess, admitting to the murder of the original host.
Tang Yiyue couldnât escape either.
Though it was manslaughter, the act of conspiring to ditch the body made the case serious.
The police found the original hostâs body and informed her distant relatives living abroad.
Out of familial concern, they hurried back to hold a funeral for her.
A string of zeros suddenly appeared in Chuzhengâs account.
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
I! Really! Donât! Need! Money!
After the matter was resolved, Xia Han began to pack up, ready to take Chuzheng away from there.
As for where to, he hadnât decided yet.
Perhaps theyâd just see where they end up.
He looked towards Chuzheng floating beside him, a slight smile on his lips.
As long as she was by his side, that was enough.
They traveled to many places, yet stayed nowhere.
Xia Han said.
He wanted their footprints to cover mountains and lakes, to let the world witness their love.
Chuzheng only gave the word âboringâ to describe it.
Xia Han dared not let Chuzheng feel the slightest inconvenience, for she would start thinking about locking herself up again.
This was absolutely not okay.
Later, Xia Han discovered something about the Ghost Pact.
So every day, Chuzheng considered how to break his legs.
Xia Han once again saved his own legs, picked up Chuzheng, and said: âNext stop.â
âIâ¦â
âBaby, you are the best.â
ââ¦â
The car started, speeding off into the distance.
âWait for me, guys!!â
The Evil Ghost chased after the car, floating on the outside.
