Chapter 32: Marrying the Dead Bai Yueguang (Thirty-Two)
When Yu Huo received the call from Sister Chen, he was carving the jade talisman in his hand.
He clamped the phone between his neck and tilted his head to ask, "Sister Chen, what's the matter?"
"I have a notice here, the reward is very generous, tomorrow afternoon..."
"No need to say anything, I'll go!"
Sister Chen, who had been trying to persuade him earnestly, lost her temper in an instant. She couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why did you agree so readily? No! Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! Yu Huo, tell me the truth, what are you up to?"
Yu Huo shuddered as he looked at the evil spirit that was staring at him with its chin supported by one hand. If he hadn't been holding something in his hand, he might have subconsciously covered his kidneys.
"Sister Chen, you misunderstood. I love going to work. It makes me happy."
"Get lost! This show is an interview..." Sister Chen still felt uneasy as she spoke: "No, you have to promise me that you won't talk nonsense, otherwise I will use your announcement fee to buy me a villa."
Yu Huo put down the carving knife in his hand and said with a sigh: "You are so dishonest. Why are you eating and taking it at the same time?"
Sister Chen coughed lightly and then changed the subject: "By the way, do you still have that red string?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll keep you safe!"
Yu Huo pondered for a moment, then moved his free fingers slightly, deduced something, and said bluntly, "You've been quite safe recently, so you won't need it."
"Really?"
"I swear on your year-end bonus, seriously."
Sister Chen let out a long sigh and sighed, "Yu Huo, I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. Have you ever secretly gone to practice cultivation? Have you been accepted as a disciple by some enlightened monk?"
Yu Huo thought for a moment and said, "Those who have attained enlightenment may not necessarily be high-ranking monks, but university students as well."
"..." Sister Chen felt the vein on her forehead twitch, then suddenly realized and yelled, "You swear on my year-end bonus, you didn't eat and take it?!"
Yu Huo hung up the phone and muted it.
At the same time, that unignorable gaze was still fixed on him. Yu Huo's hand holding the jade talisman moved slightly, and he sighed: "If you have nothing to do, go cook, and stop staring at me."
The ghost withdrew his gaze, his fingers twirling around the bouquet of gorgeous red roses on the table, a bit listless. "You're so happy when you hear there's a job? Are you tired of me?"
Yu Huo concentrated on carving the patterns and subconsciously replied, "Not bad."
The fingertips that fell on the rose paused for a moment, then pinched it hard, crushing the delicate leaves in an instant. The leaking juice made the evil spirit's already pale hands look even colder and whiter.
"What's bothering me? I'll see if I can fix it."
"You're so clingy, it's annoying." Yu Huo said quickly. After a pause, he began to make amends: "But you're pretty, so I can barely forgive you. Of course, I'd be very happy if you could change."
"What would you like to eat tonight?" The evil spirit stood up and lowered his eyes to look at the young man who was concentrating on carving the jade talisman. His gaze drifted across the red marks on the other's neck. The mottled marks fell on the sunken collarbone, like delicate and fragile items, which made people linger.
"casual."
The young man didn't even raise his head, looking a little cold.
The evil ghost looked away and walked into Yu Huo's kitchen.
After spending these days together, Yu Huo discovered that Li Gui’s cooking was really delicious, so delicious that he had given up ordering takeout, and even refused to order takeout.
The evil ghost was also good-tempered and actually rolled up his sleeves to make soup.
It was like there was suddenly a Snail Girl in the house, and Yu Huo was so happy that his heart was bubbling with joy. Of course, it would be even better if the Snail Girl didn't like sleeping with him so much.
Yu Huo carved the last stroke and stretched silently. The pain in his waist made him feel as if he had a chronic illness after giving birth.
This thought made him feel nauseous. He quickly shook his head and got rid of this terrible idea.
At this time, the kitchen door was opened and a faint fragrance came in from the open door.
Yu Huo was about to ask what the other party had done, but unexpectedly he met a pair of dark eyes. Then his gaze moved downwards, and he looked down belatedly, then quickly retracted his half-stretched body.
The pale, lean, and thin waist with clear abdominal muscles was gone. The evil ghost thought it was a pity and then asked for conversation, "Is your jade talisman ready?"
The jade talisman on the table is of excellent texture, without any other colors, and even has a layer of light ring that ordinary people cannot see. It is obvious that it was made with great care.
Yu Huo nodded, put the jade talisman away, stood up and went to the kitchen.
When passing by the evil spirit, a cold hand first wrapped around his waist, and a chill breath began to spread around his neck.
Yu Huo shuddered and asked with a squinting look, "Didn't you say you would change?"
The evil spirit opened its mouth and took the piece of skin on his shoulder and neck, biting it gently: "Well, but I find that I can't change it. How about this, you look at my face more often, maybe you will calm down."
"You really don't have any sincerity at all!" Yu Huo was furious: "Forget it, whoever wants to have a relationship can do it, I don't want to have one anymore!"
"Okay." The evil spirit nodded, and Yu Huo was confused.
The atmosphere fell into silence. After about a minute, the evil spirit suddenly spoke up: "It's been a minute since we broke up. Do you want to get back together?"
"...If you can get back together if you want, wouldn't that make me lose face?"
"Then how do you think we can get back together?" the evil spirit asked.
Yu Huo sniffed, and the aroma from the kitchen overpowered him. While he was thinking about what it was, he said perfunctorily, "A good horse doesn't turn back. Damn it! Boiled fish!! Smash it in my mouth!!!"
He pushed the evil spirit away and ran into the kitchen. He picked up a piece from the electric hot pot, blew on it, and put it in his mouth: "It smells so good!"
At this moment, the disfigured ghost floated in from the window and looked at him with disdain: "You are such a persistent and proactive glutton. You won't eat grass if you turn back, but you will get boiled fish if you turn back, right?"
It seems that talking nonsense is indeed contagious.
Yu Huo was so hot that he stuck out his tongue to inhale the cool air: "Hiss... A simple guy like you who can't stand others doing well will be single for the rest of your life."
The disfigured ghost pinched his waist and retorted: "I also had a tragic and beautiful love in my life, okay?"
"You have nothing." Yu Huo ruthlessly exposed: "If you really have something, why don't you see your true love burning some paper money for you during the holidays?"
"...Even eating can't stop your mouth?"
"How can you eat with your mouth shut?" Yu Huo muttered, then asked, "Where have you been going to watch the fun these days?"
The disfigured ghost said angrily, "I went to watch your mistress make a fool of herself."
Yu Huo glanced at the evil spirit sitting on the sofa pinching roses, his gaze fixed on the fallen flowers and leaves on the table. He quickly distanced himself from the matter, "Luckily you're dead, otherwise, if you had sat at the village entrance with your rumor-mongering mouth, how many people would have been ruined overnight?"
