Chapter 196 Husband 33
The unretouched photo was transferred to the phone. The man lowered his head and his eyes seemed to be covered with syrup and fell on the woman's face. The trembling and tension could be felt through the screen.
Although Wen Hui was looking at the photos, she could see the monster occasionally looking at her out of the corner of her eye. When the traffic light turned red, he couldn't wait to get up as far as possible from the inside of the seat belt, lean over to her side, and admire the wedding photos on the phone screen with her.
"This one's beautiful," the monster said in a sweet voice. He stared intently at his wife's shy smile in the photo and sighed sincerely, "Me and Huihui's wedding photos will temporarily make up for not being able to have a wedding... but it still feels so bad. I wish we could have a wedding! But I guess no hotel is safe these days. I hate those ugly monsters ruining things."
Wen Hui reminded him to drive, and her eyes gradually became confused as she stared at the photo, and she couldn't help but think along the lines of what he said.
Holding a wedding? The feeling of widowed husband remarrying is getting stronger and stronger!
The man's face in the photo is detached from Zheng Song's handsome charm, and the open-collared suit reveals the man's muscular body... No matter how much Zheng Song uses fitness to make up for the defects of his body, he can't show off his body frankly. What's more, compared with the monster's capital, Zheng Song's body that he is still proud of has nowhere to show off.
The powerful muscles, broad chest and back, as well as the monster's innate strong abilities, were once life-threatening in Wen Hui's eyes. But now, after witnessing the harshness of the external environment with her own eyes, they turned into a protective umbrella that gave her enough safety.
"...It's better not to do it. Just thinking about countless unknown monsters appearing at the wedding banquet is terrifying..." Wen Hui imagined the scene, her face suddenly grimace. Fearing that the monsters would put this plan into practice, she quickly expressed her position: "Forget it. Neither of us has any relatives or friends. Even if we do succeed, we probably won't be able to gather enough people for a table."
“What Huihui said makes a lot of sense,” the monster muttered to himself. “If we don’t want to do it, then don’t do it. Huihui looks so beautiful in her wedding dress, I don’t want anyone to see it…”
The photographer, who was still conscious at the time, stared at the camera in a trance as the scene was replayed. The monster wanted to poke out the photographer's eyes. In the end, even though he was eroded by the monster and became unrecognizable, his heart was filled with thick malice and jealousy when he thought of the beautiful appearance he had seen Wen Hui.
The monster thought of his wife's ex-husband, Zheng Song, the man who gave him the opportunity to meet and fall in love with Wen Hui. After his proposal was successful, he didn't even hold a wedding with Wen Hui! The monster felt sorry for Wen Hui for a while, but also felt fortunate.
The monster said, "Huihui, we must hold a wedding ceremony after peace is restored here! We should even propose, but we're already husband and wife... No, no, even if we're married, we still need a proposal and a wedding. We should have what others have. Huihui, what kind of wedding do you prefer?"
Wen Hui was bewildered by the monster's erratic thoughts. She stared at him for a moment, bewildered. The monster began to expound on the pros and cons of various types of things. Where had her gentle and silent husband gone? Perhaps because she had stared at him for too long, she noticed that the monster's ears had turned red.
Zheng Song's skin color is a healthy wheat color. When the monster devoured this body, it naturally created a new body in his image. Combined with the monster's own characteristics, the created body became a shiny honey color. Under the sunlight, it looked like it was sprinkled with honey. The handsome and delicate facial features made the monster look full of temptation and beast-like aggressiveness.
The honey-colored skin can well cover up the shame, but the monster's ear tips and even the entire earlobes have become burning red, and the redness cannot be ignored.
Wen Hui was confused. She didn't do anything, so why did his ears suddenly turn red?
The monster drove as usual until it slowed down and stopped by the roadside.
Wen Hui looked around and asked him, "Why did you stop here? There's no supermarket or shopping mall nearby..."
The monster unbuckled his seat belt, his scarlet eyes shining brightly. He was facing Wen Hui, so Wen Hui could see clearly that his cheeks were also red, like two ripe apples. It was no exaggeration to say that the monster's cheeks looked like they were roasted by a raging fire, and the bright red was dazzling.
Wen Hui: "Why is your face burning..."
"It's all Huihui's fault." The monster naturally held up her hands and put his face against them. Wen Hui's cold palms touched the monster's hot face. His eyes were glued to Wen Hui's face, and his tone was filled with clear shyness:
"...Ah, whenever I think of Huihui being my wife, I can't help but get excited. Huihui kissed me in the bridal shop, what does that mean? I thought about it for a long, long time. Does that mean she accepts me? I asked Huihui to have a wedding with me, and Huihui didn't object or reject me. Does that mean she agrees? Huihui agreed to be my wife, and I'm so happy!"
The more he spoke, the redder his face became.
Wen Hui wasn't so afraid of him anymore. Besides, her heart wasn't made of stone. She'd been getting along harmoniously and sweetly with "Zheng Song" a few days ago. The coldness and disappointment she'd endured since their marriage had been reversed by "Zheng Song." Her initial resistance and retreat had been due to the fact that her partner had turned into a monster that could eat people at any moment...
When Wen Hui confirmed that he would not hurt her for the time being, her mood changed slightly. She thought: The monster really fits the husband she imagined in her imagination.
Wen Hui's heart was instantly filled with tenderness. She looked up at the monster's focused gaze and her tenderness spread. After all, she was a vulgar person. If the person in front of her was the prototype of the monster, she would never be moved. But when she saw the face of a handsome man sitting next to her and confessing his feelings in a humble tone, her face turned red.
She said reservedly, "...sweet talk!"
The monster's rosy cheeks paled, and he raised his voice in grievance: "I'm not lying! Huihui, everything I said is true. Did you lie to me in the bridal shop? No, no, you promised to kiss me again when we get home, you can't go back on your word... Huihui, I'm sincere, what do you need to do to make you believe me..."
Wen Hui was slightly stunned. She reached out to cover his mouth. She didn't know how to explain what she meant. She could only stare at him: "I believe you!"
Afraid that he would say something embarrassing again, she changed the subject in time and said, "...Okay, stop imagining it. You haven't eaten for such a long time, are you hungry?"
The monster wasn't sure if it was Wen Hui's test or what, so he answered carefully, "I'm hungry, Hui Hui. There are snacks in the car." He reached for the snack bag from the back seat. Inside was bread and biscuits. He considerately tore open the bag and handed it to Wen Hui. "Fill yourself first. We'll be home soon."
As he said this, he started the car.
The monster changed from a life-threatening existence to a protective umbrella. Wen Hui quietly moved his position to the same camp. Her safety needed the monster's protection. Regardless of whether it was related to love, she came to the current understanding -
She had to maintain her relationship with the monster, just as she had tried her best to maintain her precarious marriage with Zheng Song.
Wen Hui grasped the monster's arm, and the touch similar to human skin made her last uneasiness disappear. Although the man in front of her was a monster, he never showed his scarlet flesh and blood in front of her. As long as she showed the slightest fear, those horrifying flesh and blood would disappear before her eyes. Thinking of this, her favorability towards the monster increased again.
"I mean...you've been following me to eat these past few days. Now that you're out, I won't interfere with you."
Wen Hui's smile was gentle, and the concern hidden within it made the monster's heart flutter. He couldn't help but stare at her in amazement as she continued, "There are drawbacks to always eating human food, right? I know who you are now, so you can hunt as much as you want."
She moved forward, pressed against the monster's strong arms, her warm breath falling on them. The monster's skin suddenly cracked into tiny cracks where she couldn't see, and he sucked greedily, absorbing his wife's sweet scent.
“Isn’t Huihui afraid?”
"Afraid." Wen Hui said honestly.
The arm in front of her stiffened. She didn't need to look up to know that the monster's expression was very unpleasant. The arm left her face and fell to her waist, slowly tightening. Wen Hui was pushed into his arms. A wronged and confused voice rang in her ears: "Hui Hui, you are lying to me again. I don't understand. If you are afraid, why do you want me to do it? Are you trying to use this opportunity to push me away... Hui Hui, I promise you, I will learn how to be a real person. I won't even touch or look at the food I used to eat!"
"That's not the case," Wen Hui pounded his chest and explained, "You may be afraid, but you have to adapt. Besides, you've always eaten human food, which doesn't provide enough nutrition. If you encounter a monster like 'Tao Qian' again, would you be willing to be devoured by it?"
Her tone was slightly panicked, and she pleaded slightly: "You promised to protect me..."
Tao Qian's outrageous words still echoed in her ears. Monsters possessed enormous bodies and powerful abilities; how could they be replenished simply by eating human food? To live safely in today's world, Wen Hui could only hope that the monsters around her would continue to grow stronger, strong enough to withstand all dangers.
His thoughts were selfish and despicable. Although he developed a little love for the monster, that love was based on his abilities and the love and affection he could give to Wen Hui.
Wen Hui felt guilty, but immediately overturned it.
Even if she exploited its affection, what would it matter? She had also given the monster the response it desired! Thinking of this, Wen Hui kissed the monster's neck, breaking through her shyness and hugging his slender waist, breathing warm air into his ear: "You promised to protect me, so you must eat well."
The docking location is near an abandoned factory in a deserted area.
There were no monsters in Wen Hui's sight, but she believed that the man in front of her must have found a way to find food. All she needed to do was to tell him her attitude clearly - she allowed him to eat on his own instead of following her every day to eat food that was not suitable for monsters.
“Meihui.”
The monster kissed the top of her head excitedly, "I'm so happy."
He locked the car door and repeatedly told Wen Hui to stay in the car and not walk around. He closed the door and paused for a moment. When Wen Hui couldn't see him, his sharp teeth suddenly tore through the flesh, leaving a piece of flesh that was still alive to protect Wen Hui.
He went out to look for food alone.
…
After the man left, Wen Hui remained quietly in the carriage, not daring to look around, fearing she might accidentally catch a glimpse of the monster foraging. Although she accepted the reality that her husband was a monster, she couldn't bear to witness the brutal and horrific scene of a beast-like feeding.
Nearly half an hour later, the man walked out of the dense forest behind the field. His cold gray suit was torn into strips and hung on his body. During the hunting process, it was inevitable that the monster's face would be revealed. Tearing the suit and barely keeping the cloth to cover his body was the result of his deliberate control.
Back in the car, the man said awkwardly, "I'm going home to take a shower. Huihui, please don't despise me."
After she finished speaking, Wen Hui came over and placed a wet wipe with a floral scent on his face. The man was slightly stunned and looked into Wen Hui's eyes, which were pretending to be calm but still revealing fear. She said gently, "There is blood on your face. Don't move. I'll wipe it off for you." The tissue gently wiped the blood off his face, and the man's heart was beating non-stop in his simulated chest.
He wanted to say something to express his excitement, but he was afraid of scaring his timid wife, so he just said, "Thank you, Huihui."
Wen Hui smiled brightly at him and said, "Go home."
