Chapter 20: The Ghost King is Alive

When Jiang Jiu opened her eyes, she found that the cold man who was holding her had turned into a delicate little doll, sitting beside the bed with a serious face, as if thinking about what had just happened.

She sat up and reached out to touch Yu Zimo, but she felt something warm, which made Jiang Jiu subconsciously stunned.

"you....."

She said hesitantly.

Although I thought that Yu Zimo’s power would disappear one day and he would turn back into a child, I didn’t expect that he would actually turn back into a living person.

"What happened to me?"

Yu Zimo had a stern face, not as calm as usual, and even looked a little serious.

"nothing."

Jiang Jiu shook his head, with subtle emotions rising in his heart.

"snort."

Yu Zimo noticed that Jiang Jiu was hesitant to speak, and snorted coldly, looking quite angry.

"I actually turned into a child!"

His anger didn't seem fake, but Jiang Jiu felt inexplicably happy.

She poked Yu Zimo's cheek.

"Why are you so cute?"

Yu Zimo probably hadn't been alive for a long time. When touched by Jiang Jiu, he immediately showed a strange expression and dodged twice but failed to escape.

The Ghost King, who usually acts tyrannically, was also severely punished today.

There's no way to resist ginger wine.

"Don't do anything weird to me."

Yu Zimo's face looked a little dark.

Anyone who likes to put on airs will be furious if he suddenly becomes powerless.

"Okay, okay."

Jiang Jiu smiled and pulled his hand back, then asked seriously.

"Then our Lord Ghost King has the opportunity to be a living person for a day. Would you like to experience something interesting?"

She asked.

Yu Zimo was stunned, then spoke awkwardly.

"Actually, I don't feel anything about life or death, but if you like..."

Jiang Jiu interrupted him with a smile before he could finish.

"Of course I like you. I like the lively you."

After he finished speaking, Yu Zimo's face turned even redder.

"good."

He responded softly.

The next second, Jiang Jiu walked happily to the kitchen, ordering a bunch of takeout with her mobile phone. She would cook for Yu Zimo herself if she could, and if not, she would order takeout instead.

Yu Zimo stared blankly at Jiang Jiu's back, not knowing what she was going to do.

"The first thing to do after resurrection! It must be eating!"

When Jiang Jiu placed a pile of delicious food in front of Yu Zimo, the little Yu Zimo's face turned stiff.

"What do you mean?"

He asked.

"As a ghost, you shouldn't be able to taste delicious food, right? Now that you have the chance, you must try it."

Jiang Jiu's eyes sparkled, making Yu Zimo at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You can taste it, too, okay?"

He took a deep breath and spoke word by word.

"It's different, it's different. How can the food of the dead be the same as that of the living?"

Jiang Jiu waved his hand and now talked about these things without any reservation. He originally wondered whether Yu Zimo would mind, but now they were so familiar with each other that he could tease him casually.

Yu Zimo looked at the table full of food, and finally held his forehead helplessly, but still stretched out his hand.

What should I do then?

The person you choose can only be pampered by yourself.

"How is it? Is this delicious?"

Jiang Jiu had just bought Yu Zimo a lot of snacks that children like to eat, and watched Yu Zimo stuff the candies into his mouth with eager eyes.

After she asked the question, she saw Yu Zimo's ears turn slightly red, and he finally responded vaguely.

"generally...."

His reaction immediately made Jiang Jiu understand. Is this the young master who says one thing and means another?

So cute.

Jiang Jiu didn't expose his disguise, but quietly moved closer to him and whispered in his ear.

"If you like it, how about we buy more candy later?"

The girl and the child whispered, and Yu Zimo's ears turned even redder.

"I've already said..."

He wanted to retort, but seeing Jiang Jiu's expectant eyes, he could only sigh helplessly.

In the following time, Jiang Jiu took him to eat a lot of human food, some of which were flavors that Yu Zimo had long forgotten, and a bit of nostalgia inevitably rose in his eyes.

After all, humans and ghosts are different. Humans can feel temperature, but ghosts cannot.

Although he could taste the food, there was still some difference.

Chewing and swallowing were an experience he hadn't had in a long time, and it was very subtle.

In the end, Yu Zimo did not resist, but cooperated with Jiang Jiu and did what she liked to do, because he also found it very interesting.

"How about this? Is this delicious?"

He was thinking unconsciously, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiu to suddenly stuff something into his mouth.

Yu Zimo subconsciously took two bites, and his expression suddenly changed.

However, his gentlemanly manners prevented him from spitting it out on the spot. Instead, he blushed and finally swallowed it.

"you!"

He looked at Jiang Jiu with shame and anger, and suddenly picked up the water cup beside him and drank it madly.

That’s right, Jiang Jiu stuffed him a piece of spicy meat. For humans, spicy food is painful. Jiang Jiu thought that Yu Zimo probably hadn’t tasted this flavor for a long time.

It was not until a while later that Yu Zimo stuck out his tongue and glared at her several times with a red face.

It seems to be saying, "How can you be so bad? I will never trust you again."

"How is it? Does the Ghost King also feel the accelerated heartbeat?"

Jiang Jiu looked at him curiously.

Yu Zimo was stunned by the question, and in an instant he covered his chest with his hands, a look of confusion on his face.

"Won't."

He said.

As a ghost, he would not feel afraid or sweat, so there was no question of his heart beating faster. Including his heartbeat for Jiang Jiu, it was another indescribable feeling. His non-existent heart was beating for her, and today Jiang Jiu used another way to make him feel the heartbeat.

Normally, people cannot hear their own heartbeats, only in some special circumstances or when they are mentally weak.

Of course, you can also eat spicy food and have a heart-pounding feeling.

"What does it feel like?"

Jiang Jiu came over with a curious look on his face and their eyes met Yu Zimo's.

After a while, Yu Zimo looked away.

“Actually, we don’t need this…”

He said.

"What?"

Jiang Jiu didn't understand and looked confused.

"With you here, my heart will be moved."

Yu Zimo restrained his expression. The little brat who was easily shy was surprisingly calm when he gave this answer, which even surprised Jiang Jiu.

"Oh, oh, really..."

The sudden confession made Jiang Jiu feel a little bit at a loss, and she almost ignored Yu Zimo's current body shape and the cute little balls.

"Um."

Yu Zimo returned to his seated posture and began to slowly savor the various foods that Jiang Jiu had brought him, even raw ones.

"You humans have a unique taste. You have fire, but you insist on eating raw food. What's the difference between you and wild beasts who eat raw meat and drink blood?"

He picked up a piece of raw pickled meat and frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with the food.
