However, Leng Yue underestimated the brat's shamelessness.

Leng Yue pulled the covers up, and the little boy jumped on her, not heavily, but not lightly either. Leng Yue gritted her teeth and pretended to be asleep, hoping the little boy would leave on his own after he'd had enough. But the little boy simply crawled into the covers and stared into her eyes.

The boy's chill seeped into Leng Yue's body. Leng Yue glanced at the boy and took a step back. But the boy pressed his advantage, chasing after Leng Yue and even grabbing her arm.

The little boy hugged Leng Yue's arm, rubbing his cheek against it comfortably, and sighed with narrowed eyes, "So warm! You're so warm!"

Unlike the little boy, Leng Yue's arm was freezing cold. After thinking for a moment, she sat up and pulled her arm away. She mouthed, "You can't get too close to me, I can't stand it."

The little boy smiled. "You're willing to talk to me now?"

Leng Yue's face darkened, and she silently opened her mouth to say, "Otherwise what? You won't let me go!"

"It's because I'm too lonely. You're the first person who can see me." The little boy smiled happily.

"How old were you? When did you die? Why didn't you go to the underworld?" Leng Yue asked silently.

They were quite interesting. In the dark, one could see the other's lip movements and understand what the other was saying. The other could hear ghosts talking, and the two of them communicated without any problems!

The little boy shook his head. "I don't know how long I've been dead. I can't go to the underworld."

"Why?" Leng Yue asked.

"I came here with my mom. I'm about to be reincarnated and can't go to the underworld anymore," the little boy said with a smile. "I've waited a long time for this chance to be reincarnated, but my mom can't see me, so I came out to play for a while while she's sleeping."

"Oh, where is your mother?" Leng Yue thought for a moment. "Is she in the OB/GYN? Is she about to give birth?"

The little boy nodded. "Soon, I'll be able to start anew soon."

"Then you'd better go back early, or someone might snatch you away." Leng Yue half-jokingly scared the little boy. Actually, she was just making things up. She had never been reincarnated, so she didn't know the specifics of how it worked.

"No, no, the underworld is very strict. Everyone has their own designated spot; it's all pre-arranged." The little boy was quite calm, not at all frightened by Leng Yue. "By the way, sister, I want to marry you someday. You have to wait for me to grow up; you can't marry someone else."

"What?" Leng Yue wondered if she had misheard. "How old are you? I'm more than ten years older than you!"

"What's wrong with that? I see there are quite a few relationships between older women and younger men these days, right? Sister, it's a deal, you have to come find me soon!" the little boy said seriously, without the slightest embarrassment.

"No way, I don't like kids younger than me." Leng Yue shook her head with a smile. Seriously? She wasn't crazy. To arrange a marriage between herself and a child who hadn't even been born yet, whose gender she didn't know? Was she out of her mind?!

"Otherwise, I can go find my sister," the little boy said stubbornly. "Anyway, I'm going to marry my sister."

"Well, what if you're a girl?" Leng Yue asked expressionlessly.

"No, it's a boy," the little boy answered with absolute certainty.

"I don't recognize you?" Leng Yue asked again.

"Is that so?" The little boy thought for a moment, then looked at Leng Yue and said, "Sister, bite me."

The little boy stretched his hand out in front of Leng Yue, insisting that she bite him. Leng Yue shook her head vigorously, "No, no!"

When asked to bite a ghost's hand, Leng Yue refused. She was human, not Zhong Kui (a deity associated with ghosts). Leng Yue stated that she had no interest in spirits.

Seeing that Leng Yue was unwilling, the little boy plucked a strand of her hair and tied it to his wrist. Then, looking at Leng Yue with unusual seriousness, he said, "Sister, if you ever see someone with a thin birthmark on their wrist, that's me. I'll propose to you then, and you must marry me!"

Leng Yue looked at the little boy and asked, "Why do you want to be with me?"

"I like you!" the little boy answered without hesitation. "It was love at first sight, I just like you, I like you so much that I want to be with you forever. But I'm about to be born, and I can't stay by your side forever, so I have to make a promise with you in advance."

“You’re still a child, you’re thinking too simply.” Leng Yue sighed. “The adult world isn’t as simple as you think.”

"Why? If you like someone, shouldn't you say it out loud and be together with them?" the little boy asked, puzzled.

"You'll understand when you grow up; I can't explain it to you now." Leng Yue knew that the little boy still had a pure heart, but everything would change when he truly became a human and came into contact with human society.

The little boy left silently in the end. Leng Yue smiled to herself, then closed her eyes and went to sleep. When she woke up the next day, everything was the same as before. Leng Yue stared blankly at the curtain, feeling as if she had been dreaming the night before.

For the next few days, the little boy didn't reappear. He must have been reincarnated. I just wonder if there's been a recent case of a newborn with a fine line or birthmark on their wrist?

Fortunately, Leng Yue's health is improving. The blood clot in her brain is disappearing, and her language ability is gradually returning.

During this time, Leng Jian came again, but Wang Qing and Leng Xiaoyan did not appear. When Leng Jian feigned concern and told Leng Yue to just say what she needed, Leng Yue unhesitatingly asked him for a new cell phone. In modern society, having a cell phone is just too inconvenient.

As a result, Leng Jian went home and brought Leng Yue a cell phone that Wang Qing had replaced. It was an old model, lacked features, and was slow.

"Dad, will I be able to manage Mom's compensation and savings myself when I turn eighteen?" Leng Yue looked at the old phone in her hand and casually mentioned the things left behind by the original owner's mother.

The original owner's mother left her with a lot of things: a house, millions of yuan in savings accumulated over many years of business, and hundreds of thousands of yuan in car accident compensation.

The original owner's mother had left a will long ago, stating that everything would belong to the original owner after her death. However, because the original owner was not yet sixteen years old, everything was currently managed by her guardian.

Leng Jian's face stiffened. "Yes...yes, but you're still young. Dad will keep it for you, so...so you won't waste money."

"Isn't Mom worried that I'll spend money recklessly?" Leng Yue glanced at Leng Jian and said, "Mom is always worried that I don't have enough pocket money and tells me not to be so frugal. Dad, do you know why Mom is like this?"

“Your mother…she has gone a bit too far…” Leng Jian dared not look Leng Yue in the eye.

“Because Mom believes her daughter knows what money to spend and what money not to spend, rather than letting her daughter's pockets be empty.” Leng Yue paused for a moment, then continued, “Mom…she’s always been by my side, I know she’s watching over me…”

"I understand. I'll take you out to buy a new phone this afternoon." Leng Jian said, and then hurriedly left.

Leng Yue watched Leng Jian's departing figure, her eyes flickering slightly.
