Chapter 69 - Ghost’s Wife (5) (2/2)

【No, I just bit onto my tongue. I actually wanted to say Boss.]

The system stopped coughing and replied.

【You asked me where he went. I also am not too sure, but he seems to still be lurking inside your consciousness. I haven’t been able to drive him out completely.]

【I have activated protection so I won’t be suppressed by him again but you should also be careful. Although there shouldn’t be anything that would endanger your life, he wouldn’t find out about your task and he won’t be able to hear our conversations, the things that happened earlier may happen again……..]

Cheng Zhi Chu wiped away the tears on his face. His body suddenly stiffened: [If he is inside my body then how can I kiss him?] Especially since the kiss earlier wasn’t considered a true kiss!

【Well, even if you ask me this, I’m also not to clear about it. Who would’ve expected such a situation……..] The system even suggested pathetically, 【Why don’t you try licking your own lips?]

Cheng Zhi Chu subconsciously licked his own lips, but it naturally didn’t have any effect. In addition to disappointment, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed and angry: [It doesn’t work at all!]

【Then you should try and figure it out yourself. Good luck. I’ll go rest for a bit……..]

Then the system no longer spoke up. Cheng Zhi Chu called out to it several times, but it didn’t respond.

What should he do? How could he force “Winter Branch” out from his body……….

Cheng Zhi Chu’s face turned pale. He couldn’t help but feel a little despaired. But at this moment there wasn’t just “Winter Branch” present; there was still the groom who was currently embracing him. Cheng Zhi Chu’s tears from earlier had soaked through his thin shirt and he seemed to have felt it. He reached out to touch Cheng Zhi Chu’s face and felt the traces of tears on his wet face.

He lifted Cheng Zhi Chu’s face and seemed to be looking at him, but he didn’t know what he was looking at. Using his finger, he wiped away the tear stains and asked: “What were you thinking about? Why are you crying?”

“I…………”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s heart accelerated. He was afraid of being seen through by the groom. He shook his head nervously and tried to think of an excuse. It just happened to also be something that he was thinking about before.

“I was jus th-thinking about you……..I was wondering why your head was cut off. It must have been very painful at the time so……….”

Because of the uneasiness inside him, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips. The tears on his face still had not dried yet and this made him look slightly pitiful and particularly lovable. Others seeing this wouldn’t be able to have the heart to reprimand him.

“………….”

The young man fell silent. He continued to quietly stroke his face. Cheng Zhi Chu thought that he noticed something wrong and his heart raced faster and faster. The man then suddenly leaned over, pressed his face against the severed neck and scared Cheng Zhi Chu in the process.

“I originally didn’t care much about finding my head and was only happy about it because you wanted to help me. I accompanied you because I hoped to complete our wedding as soon as possible.”

The man said in a low voice: “But now, I really want to find my head.”

“Zhi Chu, I want to kiss you.”

If possible, he wanted to find his head soon.

Cheng Zhi Chu’s was terrified. He didn’t even dare to breath. The bloody scent surged over, and he couldn’t look directly atthe severed neck before him. He squeezed his eyes shut and let out a small sound of agreement.

…….

After the bullet train reached C City, Cheng Zhi Chu who wasn’t able to relax the whole time instead felt even more tired. The double torture from the groom and “Winter Branch” made him both physically and mentally exhausted. Even while walking he was swaying around a little.

Fortunately, the wedding dress that he wore was very light and it didn’t get in the way. Cheng Zhi Chu dragged along the wide skirt and found a tourist bus heading to the “Rose Manor”. He hopped onto the bus and arrived at the lakeside together with the other passengers.

The flat road seemed to divide the manor into two different worlds. On one half, it was the pale blue lake which scattered sunlight with its ripples, and, on the other half, it was a field of blooming roses. Like a burning flame, it emanated a strong rose aroma.

Smelling this aroma, Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t help but feel his scalp go numb. He originally didn’t like the smell of roses and the last reality instance had left him with a strong impression. He could still vividly remember his game of “hide and seek” with Zhou Luo Chen in the villa.

He didn’t think that he would return to this place so soon.

“It’s this place.”

After getting off the bus, the groom looked around and confirmed: “This place is indeed the place that appeared in my memory.”

Looks like they had come to the right place. Cheng Zhi Chu’s mood was somewhat complicated. Although they were searching in the right direction, if he wasn’t forced to, he really didn’t want to have anything to do with this place.

“Hey Bai Xi Xing, you little rascal. Don’t mess with me this time!”

At this moment, they suddenly heard angry shouts from an elderly man coming from the lakeside. The name mentioned in those words caught Cheng Zhi Chu’s attention. He subconsciously turned around and saw an old man fishing by the shore. Next to him sat a young man with handsome facial features that were similar to Bai Yi’s. It was his cousin, Bai Xi Xing.

Bai Xi Xing had a hint of a smile on his face and he sat very casually. Despite this, he still looked elegant. He said to the old man: “You’re wrongly accusing me. When did I mess with you?”

“You have the nerve to say that? Last time you sat by the side of the lake and secretly fed the fish causing the fish to all rush over to your side and none of them took my bait!”

“Ah……I don’t remember that. Are you sure it was me?”

“…………”

The grooms body turned to face Bai Xi Xing’s direction. Cheng Zhi Chu saw that he wasn’t moving and suspected that he may have thought of something. He asked: “Did this person appear in your memory?”

“Yes.” The groom responded, “……..There’s a very annoying feeling.”

At the same time, Bai Xi Xing suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and frowned: “Who’s speaking ill of me?”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 69)

Suddenly remembered when Zhi Chu praised Bai Xi Xing and said that he admired him.

……….Bai Xi Xing is a really annoying guy.
