"I'm sorry for embarrassing you by making you change clothes in front of me every night these past few years!"
Zhou Bingchen's voice was softer than ever before, and his lingering and helpless voice struck my heart like fingers plucking the strings of a guitar.
He said with a look of pain in his eyes, "Because only when I look at you like that do I feel that I am truly alive. I... I..."
He seemed to be hesitant to speak, and nothing more was said.
I turned my head to look at him and our eyes met. Seeing his anxious expression, my heart was in turmoil.
I don’t know why, even though he didn’t touch me now or in the past, I still felt like he touched me thoroughly inside and out.
A terminally ill patient faces the temptation of a mature woman, and experiences the miserable and desolate feeling of being alive. What a poor golden bachelor!
Finally, seeing that I didn't respond, he took a deep breath, and as if he had made a great decision after struggling, he said to me seriously: "If you don't forgive me, then I can take off my clothes and show you too!"
Take it off?
Take it off and show me!
My mind felt like it was exploding, the corners of my mouth twitched, and I almost passed out from embarrassment.
Is this what a human being would say?
He used to look serious, but he would always have a cold face and watch me change clothes. I felt uncomfortable and thought he was being a hooligan.
Now that he wants me to look back, I feel even more like he is being a hooligan.
Without waiting for my answer, the man came close to me and started to make the next move with rustling movements.
In less than two seconds, he ripped his white shirt with his long arms, revealing a large area of bronze skin.
My mouth opened wide and my eyes widened.
The strong chest muscles that make your blood boil, the well-defined eight-pack abdominal muscles, and the perfect mermaid line that is so alluring.
How can a half-human, half-ghost like me enjoy this benefit?
I don't deserve it!
I was so nervous that I almost tore the fabric of my trouser legs that I was holding tightly.
I subconsciously held onto the door frame, and my whole body tilted and was about to collapse. A strong hand held me around the waist, pinched my waist and pulled me forward suddenly.
In an instant, the strong smell of male hormones enveloped me and seemed to drown me.
I felt like a lost girl who had strayed into some country, with my mind full of mosaic images.
"First wish..."
He whispered my name, his voice was especially gentle and low in the silent night.
But it seemed as if it had penetrated through numerous obstacles and sounded awake in my ears from a century ago.
I don’t know what happened, but I seemed to hear the sound of my own heartbeating like a drum.
I took a deep breath, and then another, and encouraged myself to look up and respond to him.
After all, I have to repay the favor, and I have to climb this big tree to help me get revenge.
I pretended to accidentally turn off the only remaining light in the living room, closed my eyes, and bit my lip to make up my mind.
No matter whether I feel it or not, I will scream a few times.
After all, during those years of pretending to be a couple with him, I got pretty good at calling him that.
Just as the man's hand gradually moved down and reached into the hem of my clothes, the cell phone rang suddenly again, tearing the beauty in the room apart and turning it into embarrassment.
I was like a big balloon filled up and ready to explode at any moment, but the next second I was unexpectedly deflated and my whole body wilted.
Zhou Bingchen coughed lightly, and this time he went to answer the phone without me reminding him.
He turned on the speakerphone.
Suddenly, Captain Li's voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"Binchen, come quickly! A body part was found in a well in the suburbs. The police dog identified the smell and it's Qiao Chuyuan's!"
His voice was particularly powerful, and almost the moment he finished speaking, Zhou Binchen's blank eyes were in sync with Captain Li's terrifying words, falling on me like a trembling laser light.
At that moment, my pupils trembled, my body swayed, and I almost fell to the ground.
If the body is found, doesn’t that mean that my time is up and I will be reduced to ashes?
Could it be that I have just been pretending to be dead for one day, and I haven’t made arrangements with Chenchen yet, and I am leaving before I have taken revenge?
In extreme panic and torture, I asked Jiang Xi to come to the hotel and asked her to look after Chenchen in case he woke up, and then I followed Zhou Binchen to the suburban well that Captain Li mentioned.
At this time, a cordon had been set up around the well.
Captain Li walked over to us with a serious expression, holding the police dog. He glanced at me, who looked pale, and said to Zhou Bingchen in a deep voice, "Don't you know that you can't bring outsiders to the crime scene?"
Zhou Binchen nodded and walked to the corner to talk with Captain Li.
Seeing that I was still standing not far away and staring at the two of them without blinking, Captain Li pulled Zhou Binchen away from my sight and hid behind a big tree.
"Were you with her just now?"
Captain Li glanced up and down at Zhou Bingchen, his gaze finally resting on his slightly swollen, broken lips. With a complicated look in his eyes, he asked, "She did that... didn't you think it was wrong?"
When he said this, I had already made a big circle and hid in a bush behind where they were talking, and I could clearly hear the shocked tone in his question.
He thinks I look like a dead person, how could Zhou Bingchen have the guts to talk to me?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingchen's answer shocked Captain Li and me.
"Well, something's wrong!"
"She seems to be more beautiful and smells stronger!"
A rare hint of warmth appeared on the man's usually cold face.
I hid in the bushes, not daring to breathe. Captain Li's lips twitched, and he said in a sinister tone, "You didn't hear anything I just said on the phone, did you? I said she's already..."
"Don't talk nonsense! She was standing there perfectly fine! How could you come up with such a weird guess?"
Zhou Bingchen quickly interrupted her, and the tenderness on his face disappeared with these words, replaced by a hint of anger.
