Chapter 61 - I dont trust your perverted nature (1/2)

Two days are gone.

I have been walking continuously for a long time. The temporary situation feels more and more permanent. I don't know whether to cry or laugh. At this moment in my life, I don't know whether I am a ghost or a living. Am I already dead? Am I a ghost who doesn't know that she is dead?

”I think that's the mountain ghost.”

”He has been wandering around the forest for a long time.”

”The ghost of the man who is still looking for his lover.”

The whispers snap me out of my thoughts. The young boys hide behind the trees. I can easily spot them. If they can see me, I am most likely not dead. Also, ghosts can pass through hard objects and I can't. I can still feel the chill of the forest. My senses are working well. Even better. I can hear them easily despite them hiding far away from me.

When I take a step toward them, they scream in fear and run away.

That's the direction of the village.

The wedding ceremony is commenced without any hiccup. When she is finally alone, she takes off the heavy headdress that's been giving her a headache for a while. She finds the sweets on the table. Happy. She picks up one. Before she can put it in her mouth, someone holds her wrist. She looks up and finds Wu Yixing.

”They did a good job. You look beautiful. No one can tell that you are a man.” He feels a tinge of regret. If he tries to taste the fruit, she will do something rash.

”Why are you in this room?” She blinks at him in shock. He shouldn't be here. He promised her that they would have different rooms.

”On my wedding night, where else should I be?” He takes the sweet away and puts it back on the plate. ”Don't eat anything without testing it for the poison. I don't want you to die before you finish the task.”

She has been warned before. She couldn't resist when she saw the sweets. ”We can't sleep in the same room.”

”Say, Mo Qian, why are you afraid?” He takes off his outer robe. ”You are a man. I am a man. Why can't two men sleep in the same room?”

”You like men.” I turn my back to him. The room feels hot for some reason. ”I don't trust your perverted nature.”

”I am glad that you know me so well, Mo Qian.” He lays down on the bed. ”I am tired. I am going to sleep. You can sleep on the other side of the bed. I won't do anything.”
