The surroundings were very quiet, and the temperature was about the same as in the haunted house. Fan Zhiyi sniffed and wrapped his clothes tightly. Seeing a quilt on the bed, he grabbed it and wrapped himself in it.
Even though he was very sleepy, Fan Zhiyi didn't dare to sleep or let go of the dagger. He just leaned against the bed frame, closed his eyes and rested.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. Fan Zhiyi heard the door open and immediately sat up straight. The footsteps were so light and vague that Fan Zhiyi couldn't tell where the person was coming from.
But there were footsteps, which meant that at least someone was coming, right?
No, no, no, the ghosts in the haunted house are dressed up as humans and they act so realistically.
But before he could think too much, the whole place suddenly became as bright as day. The visitor must have turned on all the lights.
Fan Zhiyi Jin was so nervous about the attack that he held the dagger even tighter. He would not use the talisman unless he had no other choice.
Until he saw a dark red robe with gold tints under the veil. It was different from the style the male protagonist wore last time. This one was much more plain and elegant, without any unnecessary patterns. Based on his feeling, Fan Zhiyi determined that the other party should be a man, so who was he?
"Baibai, can you see his face?"
“…”
"in vain?"
“…”
Holy shit, I have such a big system, is it playing dead or is it offline again? Don't leave me alone to face this dilemma!
No matter who he is, my chastity cannot be touched!
Fan Zhiyi waited for the other party's next move, but the other party stood in front of him calmly for a while, and then the veil was lifted up little by little, and the visible field of vision became larger.
Now is the time!
By the time the veil was completely lifted, Fan Zhiyi's dagger had already rushed out, focusing on the lower three routes. His goal was to distract the opponent in order to save his life, or simply dodge to leave him space to escape, so as to increase the distance between them first.
But the moment he saw the silver mask covering the other person's face, Fan Zhiyi regretted it. Unfortunately, he couldn't take back his action. The other person didn't dodge or evade, which made Fan Zhiyi panic. Help! If this person was really the male protagonist, he was afraid that he would die in a very ugly way.
Blood flowed down along the tip of the dagger. The opponent directly grasped the sharp blade of the dagger, stopped its attack, and saved himself.
Fan Zhiyi stared in astonishment at the man's face, covered in a silver mask. The mask was ornate, carved with vine patterns, revealing a quarter of his beautiful features. His lips were thin, rosy, and his eyes were deep. The mask didn't obscure his handsome features; instead, it added a touch of mystery and aloofness to his features.
Fan Zhiyi calls it a pretending artifact.
"The makeup on your face is... so ugly."
It was a more magnetic and mature voice than Bing Nandong's in the haunted house, but Fan Zhiyi had a feeling. When he looked at those eyes, he knew that the other person must be the male protagonist.
However, wasn’t he wearing a ferocious ghost mask before? Why did he change not only his clothes but also the mask?
Fan Zhiyi: “…” Damn it, he actually wanted to attack the male protagonist’s lower body!
No, you're the male lead, and you're forcing me to get married. Even though I'm a stand-in, a stand-in still has dignity, okay? And the first words he said on the wedding night—is that appropriate? Is that appropriate? It's so ugly, he still doesn't believe it!
Perhaps it was because he saw a hint of anger in Fan Zhiyi's expression that Bing Nandong couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his voice revealed a hint of happiness: "See for yourself."
He waved his hand, and a water mirror appeared in front of Fan Zhiyi. The person in the mirror had his entire face painted white, with two circles drawn on his blush, and his eyebrows outlined with a thick black pen, and the lipstick was applied crookedly.
Fan Zhiyi was shocked by himself. Where did this monster come from?
That would have been fine, but it was just a wedding dress, and they only gave him the outer robe, which was extremely messy and didn't match his inner clothes at all.
Fan Zhiyi looked like he had just been dug out from some dark corner.
Bing Nandong stared at Fan Zhiyi's face and teased him, "Who painted you? And dressed you like this?"
Fan Zhiyi looked at the instigator with resentment, then grinned: "Your men are truly skilled." No, why was he mocking the hero so naturally? It's true that people forget their fear when they are angry. Where is his own dagger? What does the hero want to do?
Fan Zhiyi went to see Bing Nandong, but saw him carefully wiping the blood off the dagger and playing with it in his hand.
Realizing that Fan Zhiyi's eyes were gradually filled with fear again, Bing Nandong turned the dagger around, with the tip facing himself and the handle facing Fan Zhiyi: "Put it away."
Fan Zhiyi pursed his lips, looked at Bing Nandong several times, and didn't dare to look away.
Sure enough, he got angry for a moment... just angry for a moment, and the cowardice in his bones remained unchanged.
Bing Nandong raised his dagger and said, "Take it and use it for self-defense."
The one I should be most wary of is you. Fan Zhiyi raised his hands tremblingly and took it. He felt that the dagger had never been so hot in his hands.
"Many of my subordinates are like lonely ghosts who have been trapped for a long time. They have forgotten many things and the laws of the world. They just exist."
Fan Zhiyi replied dryly, "So it really is a ghost."
Bing Nandong narrowed his eyes. He was no longer the "Mr. Cen" in the Xue residence who had to pretend to be a gentleman. He no longer had a good impression on Fan Zhiyi. He raised his eyebrows maliciously and lowered his voice to pretend to be sinister. "Yes, I am also a ghost, the kind of extremely evil ghost that will skin and eat people."
Sure enough, he saw Fan Zhiyi shrink his neck and look unhappy.
He was the one who was frightening, but Bing Nandong felt uncomfortable when he saw that Fan Zhiyi was really afraid of him: "Are you afraid of me?"
How could he not be afraid? Fan Zhiyi shook his head, lying against his conscience.
The matter in the haunted house has been resolved, otherwise why would the male protagonist have the time to come here. I don’t know how it ended in the end. What happened to Gao Da, Gao Xiao and Xiao Man? Can he ask?
But...Fan Zhiyi looked at the masked man. It was obvious that he didn't want him to know what he looked like. Was he trying to hide his identity? So, wouldn't it be better for him to cooperate?
In fact, the male lead’s acting skills are quite good. If it weren’t for Bai Bai, Fan Zhiyi would probably have been kept in the dark and regarded "Cen Jun" and Bing Nandong in the haunted house as two completely different people.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know why I brought you here?"
Yes, yes, you are the male lead. You kidnapped me here because you want me to be your substitute and marry you.
He thought so, but on the surface Fan Zhiyi quickly shook his head, fearing that he would anger the other party if he was a second or two slower.
