Chapter 200 Husband 37
Before the rescue team arrived, Wen Hui took the monster away from the ruins.
She was helpless in Lancheng. Ever since she knew her husband was a monster, she had no time to care about the situation of her parents-in-law. Since then, she had cut off all ties with them. The wedding house collapsed, burying her last memories with Zheng Song.
Since she accepted the monster, she would no longer allow herself to fall into the moral whirlpool and care about the grudge between Zheng Song and the monster.
——She wants to live her own life.
Wen Hui helped the monster to the nearest hotel. The monster defeated the gathered monsters by himself. He relied on the idea of "growing quickly to avoid scaring Wen Hui away" to barely maintain his human form. However, his body was soft and powerless. He hung on Wen Hui, his scarlet eyes staring at her nervously.
"We just escaped and lost our ID cards. Could you please get a room for us?" This kind of thing happened frequently, so the hotel receptionist was not too surprised to see the two men covered in blood.
He expertly opened the machine to recognize Wen Hui's facial information, successfully deducted the payment, and told her, "Standard room, on the fourth floor. The hotel has everything you need, so feel free to contact me. I also offer errand services at a discounted price."
After calculating her future expenses and savings, Wen Hui decided to be frugal. She decisively refused the front desk and helped Monster to the room on the fourth floor.
This is also the reason why she did not go to a big hotel with better security facilities, but instead came to a small hotel on the street.
After marriage, Zheng Song gave his salary to his parents, under the pretext of keeping it for them to prevent the couple from wasting money. Wen Hui didn't mind it, as she understood how difficult it was for her parents-in-law to buy a house. Anyway, Zheng Song would leave enough for living expenses and transfer it to her account every month.
There wasn't much left, though. During the months since the monster's arrival, he'd transferred his salary to her account. Wen Hui was puzzled at the time and asked if he'd transferred it to the wrong account, but "Zheng Song" denied it. Wen Hui thought he was taking her relationship to the next level, gaining his trust, but she didn't realize he'd even replaced her with a new one.
Since it was earned from the monsters' labor, Wen Hui felt at ease using it. She had also saved some of her salary before marriage. Although it was not much, it was enough to cover her recent life when added up.
Open the door.
What came into view was a dirty and messy scene that looked like a bloody scene. The window glass was shattered and nailed together with broken wooden boards. The sheets of the two narrow beds were disheveled and covered with scarlet blood, as if they had been through a fight.
The environment is really not that good.
"...Let's just stay here for one night."
Wen Hui helped the monster find a relatively clean spot and put him down. Just as she was about to go forward to clean up, her arm was unexpectedly entangled. Scarlet flesh and blood condensed into something like tentacles that surrounded her, and quickly disappeared when she lowered her eyes to look.
The monster's arms hung down at both sides. In order to reduce the burden of Wen Hui's support, he gathered more flesh and blood into his legs so that he could walk normally. However, the power of flesh and blood was limited. If he took care of his legs, he could not take care of his arms. After all, he still had to support his chest and head and could not show any terrifying appearance.
Blood and flesh quickly filled the veins in his arm and reached the base of his fingers. The man moved his fingers. The new skin was as soft as protein and as smooth as a snake. He was reluctant to let go of Wen Hui's arm. With the support of the chair, he raised his head slightly to look at Wen Hui, and said in a self-blaming voice: "...If I had paid attention, I wouldn't have collapsed the house."
"It's not your fault." Wen Hui's face was gentle. "Although I didn't see the specific situation, but judging from the sounds at that time, were there many monsters crawling up?"
"yes."
The monster's hand moved from Wen Hui's arm to her waist. Not noticing Wen Hui's gesture of rejection, he took advantage of the situation and hooked her forward into his arms, hugging her with dependence, raising his perfect face, his eyes glued to her - uneasy, nervous, and flattering.
Although Wen Hui agreed to be with him, the monster's heart still trembled violently. He was always worried that Wen Hui would abandon him again.
"You've done very well. You protected me." Wen Hui's pupils were filled with the look of a monster. He was so handsome that he had lost his original outline. There was no trace of Zheng Song anymore. Facing such a brand new face, she truly realized the end of the past.
The hotel environment was extremely poor. Even though Wen Hui tried to clean it up, she was disgusted when she saw the dirty and bloody bed.
I was thinking of sitting on the chair to spend the night, but the silent monster whispered, "You can sleep on me."
"Ah?" Wen Hui didn't understand the meaning of the words. She was attacked by a monster late at night and had a self-analysis with the monster. She was depressed at the moment and just wanted to fall asleep, but the hotel environment was too dirty and messy.
The monster thought for a moment, and quietly exposed its scarlet flesh and blood, which spread along the floor. Seeing that Wen Hui was just staring at him calmly, as if he was already familiar with her, he filled the entire room with flesh and blood without hesitation.
He wrapped Wen Hui in his warmest and softest embrace and said softly, "Hui Hui, you can't even open your eyes."
Wen Hui was indeed tired, so she didn't think too much and lay down on it tentatively. The warm flesh and blood immediately surged over and wrapped her up.
Sleepiness swept over her and she fell asleep quickly.
…
Wen Hui stayed in the hotel for two days. The monster was seriously injured, and the frequent incursions of alien species into the hotel provided a perfect opportunity for him to replenish his nutrition and strength. Wen Hui had recently been house hunting, and with limited funds, she chose neighborhoods with frequent monster sightings, where housing prices had hit record lows. Soon, she arrived at her new home with her newly obtained ID and property certificate.
The new house used to be a school district house where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. It is close to the key high school and elementary school in Blue City. Naturally, monsters also gathered here. In just a few months, the housing area that was once hard to buy has become a hot potato today.
Wen Hui was carrying a bag, and inside the bag was a transparent bag containing Wen Hui's identity information and property certificate.
As she walked towards her new home, Wen Hui repeatedly noticed the hesitant gaze of the man beside her.
She stopped and looked at him suspiciously.
The monster hunted enough food in the hotel and recovered his previous energy in just a few days. His handsome face revealed unspeakable emotions, and his red eyes, like pearls with contact lenses, emitted a dazzling light. He frequently looked at the corner of the transparent bag sticking out of the shoulder bag. He opened his mouth, then nervously pursed it into a straight, slightly cold line.
“Meihui.”
"Um?"
“Meihui.”
"Um?"
Wen Hui thought for a while and asked him, "Don't you like the environment here?"
The monster shook his head.
Under Wen Hui's patient gaze, he spoke with a hint of anticipation: "Hui Hui, I don't have any identification."
He took a step forward, and a heavy shadow enveloped Wen Hui. His face did not match his tall and strong body. He looked like a child asking for candy, his face full of pleading and flattering. He held her hand, his back bent, and his scarlet eyes were filled with tension.
Repeated again, “…I have no identification.”
Wen Hui suddenly realized.
Looking at the monster's aggrieved and pleading eyes, she suddenly remembered what he had said many times. He said that he wanted to be a normal human and live with Wen Hui. He said that he really liked Wen Hui, but in Wen Hui's cognition, he was always a monster, so she subconsciously ignored his wishes when making decisions. Until this moment, facing that face showing strong emotions, she had to admit that she had to treat him as a human being, not a monster in human skin.
——What's more, he is her future husband.
Wen Hui gave an apologetic smile, "Then let's go back and get your ID card done."
"If it's just a name..."
She bit her lip, realizing that ever since the monster's identity was revealed, she had been calling him "monster" in her mind. As a result, no matter how human he behaved, there was always an invisible film covering her eyes, adding an imperceptible layer of alienation and fear to her words and actions.
After clearing her mind, Wen Hui couldn't help but want to make amends. She slowly took the monster's hand, lowering her voice and unconsciously coaxing him, "I didn't think it through. Let's go back now. What should we name it?"
She held the monster's hand and returned to the parking space, immersed in the thoughts brought by naming, ignoring the monster's sudden surprise, and then his face showing strong love and possessiveness.
The lover he had longed for for a long time agreed to let him register his human identity information. Does this mean that Wen Hui really accepted him?
He looked calm, suppressing his excitement, and his eyes casually swept across the shop with signs across the community.
The name of the store is marked in a prominent color above -
Chenji Fried Food Shop, Chunmei Underwear Store, Wanglang Health Clinic in XX Street...
He opened the passenger door and Wen Hui sat down. He returned to the driver's seat, leaned over to Wen Hui, stroked her slightly furrowed brow with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice, "Is it hard to miss?"
Wen Hui: "I can't think of a name for the moment, I don't even know which surname to choose..."
The monster stared intently at the shop across the street and suggested, "Huihui, don't bother." He pretended to be thoughtful and said, "How is Chen Lang?"
It’s not a good idea to directly take Wang Lang’s name. Chen Chunlang, Chen Chunmei, Wang Chunmei... The monster freely arranged and combined the surnames and characters in front of him, and finally rejected them one by one. Only Chen Lang was relatively easy to pronounce.
"Chen Lang."
Wen Hui read out a name. Actually, any name is good, but the monster's face is full of nervousness and anticipation. Wen Hui doesn't want to think of any random words to perfunctory him, so she feels particularly brain-racking. She thinks the two words Chen Lang are too ordinary, but if she is asked to come up with an amazing name, her mind is blank.
"Chen Lang, Chen Lang..."
As Wen Hui muttered silently, the man hummed softly.
——He was eager to put this matter into practice to avoid any trouble.
“Meihui, it’s just a name.”
"Okay, Chen Lang?"
"Um."
Chen Lang came close to her, rubbing his soft black hair against her cheek, his eyes revealing irrepressible joy as he stared at her like a dog.
The gloomy and cold temperament seemed to change because of the word "Lang" in his name, becoming as bright and warm as the clear sky. The monster's inherent terrifying temperament was melted away by the sunlight, and in his eyes, which were as warm and intense as the bright sun, there was only love.
Wen Hui trembled under his gaze, her cheeks slowly turning red as she avoided his burning gaze. "...Don't look at me. I still have to apply for my ID card! I still have to clean up the house when I get back. Let's drive quickly."
My cheeks suddenly felt warm.
Chen Lang's face was also red, and his lips still had the touch of Wen Hui's cheek. His heart was beating violently, and scarlet flesh and blood could not be controlled and overflowed, covering the floor of the carriage. He quietly lifted Wen Hui's feet and rubbed her exposed ankles with affection.
He sat up straight, looking straight ahead, his voice trembling slightly, "Okay, Huihui."
The two of them were processed very quickly. The office has been dealing with such matters frequently recently. Many of them are even people who sneaked in from outside Lancheng and can get new identities by paying a little money.
Back in the new house, Chen Lang followed Wen Hui closely, and a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
This is the new house.
It is his and Wen Hui's home.
He is no longer a thief.
Wen Hui didn't change her shoes. There were many places in the new house that needed cleaning. However, there had been residents here before, and the furniture, although old, was very tidy. It was just that the floor was covered in dust from not having lived here for a long time. Just as she was about to find a broom to clean it, Chen Lang suddenly came over.
Wen Hui glanced sideways and saw that the man's cheeks were flushed, like ripe red apples. His cheek was pressed against hers, and the hot heat kept rushing to her skin. She didn't know what was so exciting about him.
She breathed rapidly for a moment and said angrily, "...Why did you come here so suddenly? You scared me!"
He couldn't help but confess, "This is our home, Huihui."
"It's just us."
