Chapter 19: A Ghost Marriage with the Dead Bai Yueguang (XIX)
The three of them returned to their residence safely after a safe journey.
Before entering the door, Yan Xun was walking out with his luggage. He looked at the live broadcast equipment in Tian Xiuran's hand that was already turned off, and changed his route and walked over.
He first glanced at Yu Huo, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yingying.
"The recording will end the day after tomorrow. Do you still have work?"
Xiao Yingying shivered, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or something else: "There's an interview..."
"What time does it end?"
"About seven in the evening."
Yan Xun nodded and gave an order: "There will be a dinner party later. I'll ask someone to pick you up. Remember to dress nicely."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yingying clenched her hands that were hanging by her legs: "I'm not going."
"Huh? What did you say?" Yan Xun suspected that he had heard it wrong. His amorous peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, as if threatening.
Xiao Yingying took a step back. The pain in her ankle seemed to sober her up a little, but it also completely extinguished her courage that had just been ignited. She shrank back and didn't make a sound.
"She said she wasn't going."
The person who spoke sidled up to insert himself between the two of them, blocking the malicious gaze. "You're almost thirty, this shouldn't be the case. You're not hard of hearing, are you?"
Yan Xun stared at the young man in front of him, his handsome face changing into a gentle one: "Hero saving the beauty? Yu Huo, don't you consider your own worth? Don't you want to stay in this circle anymore?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yingying quickly pulled Yu Huo's sleeve and said, "Yu Huo, don't worry about my business..."
Yan Xun glanced at the secretly anxious Xiao Yingying and sneered, "See? She doesn't appreciate your kindness at all. Xiao Yingying, you've grown wings, haven't you?"
However, the expected scene of Yu Huo giving up did not appear. Instead, he saw the other party looking at him with an expression of watching a show, and his gaze was particularly glaring.
"You're not letting me hang out in this circle anymore? Oh~ You're trying to destroy me because you can't get enough of my love for me?"
“…”
Yan Xun's expression instantly fell.
The young man in front of him seemed to have figured out Pu Xinnan's tricks.
Just as the situation was about to escalate out of control, Tian Xiuran stepped forward to smooth things over. "Yan Xun, it's going to be dark soon. By the way, is the place Director Qin arranged for you to stay far from here?"
Unfortunately, Yan Xun didn't even take the ladder he handed over. Instead, he lowered his eyes and glared at him: "Your Tian family is no longer the same as before. Are you sure you want to get involved?"
Tian Xiuran also became angry: "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's your attitude? Can't you wait until after the show to talk about it?"
Yan Xun stared at him for a few seconds until he heard Qin She's urging voice from a distance. Then he walked away with a cold face.
It was simply unrealistic to want to accommodate the entire film crew in this small house. When the sun was about to set, Qin She found someone to rent a house next door, and when they were connected together, it was barely enough for them to live in.
Yu Huo bent down in the busy yard to pick up a piece of paper that had accidentally fallen to the ground, and found that it was actually the ticket stubs of two plane tickets. As for the signature on it... he raised his eyebrows, casually put it in his sweatshirt pocket, and prepared to leave.
But after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped and leaned over to Xiao Yingying, who was biting her lower lip and looked very pale. His voice was as light as the first breeze in spring, warm and soft.
He said, "Don't panic. He won't be able to threaten you tomorrow."
Xiao Yingying raised her head blankly. A strange red light flashed in the young man's clear eyes, like the scorching sun covered by clouds. It was impossible to understand the emotion in them.
"Do you believe in retribution?"
Xiao Yingying followed Yu Huo's gaze and saw a live broadcast device placed in the middle of the main room. A faint red light was on it, as if it was listening.
This was left intentionally by the program team. Each house has a live broadcast room to maintain operation and provide materials for the recording of subsequent programs.
But...but the live broadcast equipment is so far away from here that it can't pick up any sound at all. Besides, Yan Xun is not a fool, how could he leave you such a simple handle?
Facing his puzzled gaze, the young man in front of him yawned and walked back to his assigned room, looking very tired...
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped at some point and Guan Leng turned over in bed in annoyance.
Although she had already prepared herself for some discomfort during these few days, a heavy rain trapped her in this small, shabby village, where the environment was even worse than her hometown.
Qin She beside her was also sleeping restlessly, and kept clicking his tongue, as if he was annoyed that she always made noises.
Guan Leng rolled his eyes secretly, but did not go against the wind and forced himself to suppress his disgust for the harsh environment.
“Tsk!”
Another smack of the tongue in disgust, Guan Leng couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you sick?"
This sentence finally ignited the two people who were secretly angry. Qin She turned his head and roared: "Your hands are so cold, why are you sticking them on me!"
"Stop being hysterical. Who put their hands on you?"
As soon as the words fell, both of their hearts skipped a beat.
Whose hand is this on his arm?
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the thick clouds that blocked the silver moon quietly moved away, and the cold white moonlight shone through the glass into the dark room, as if reflecting a vague outline of the dampness in the house.
In a daze, they saw a shadow appear beside the bed at some point.
It seemed to be the shadow of a woman, holding a floral swaddling cloth in her arms, and her bloodshot eyes were staring straight at them.
The two of them gasped at the same time.
Woman... The house they rented belongs to an old bachelor, a lonely man, so where did the woman and child come from?
Before they could even ask, the woman suddenly raised the corner of her mouth. At the same time, they could clearly see the four sharp teeth hidden under her lips. But this was not enough to scare them. What was truly terrifying was the woman's face...
The young assistant who followed them first, a man who should have died many years ago.
At this time, the woman stood up, her movements shaky, like a piece of randomly pieced together cloth, and she walked towards their head with difficulty and strangeness.
Guan Leng and Qin She were on the verge of collapse. They wanted to escape, but their bodies seemed to be tied to the bed and they could not move. They could only watch the woman walk towards them step by step.
Finally, the other party handed them the swaddling clothes in his arms and giggled: "Here, don't you want it?"
A faint voice echoed in the empty room. The baby in the cradle was no bigger than an arm. His skin was dark brown, dryly wrapped around his tender bones, making him look like a mummy.
Guan Leng's pupils were shaking wildly in her eyeballs, and the thin mist was interrupted by the sudden cry of a baby. The sharp cry was like an awl, constantly drilling in and out of her brain, even causing unbearable pain.
"Take it. You took the trouble to steal my child, and now I'm giving it to you. Why don't you want it?"
