Mu Tiantian was exhausted after that day and night; she felt like her back was about to give out.
Huo Jixiu was fast asleep, lying on top of her. His arms, the exposed skin on his chest, and his broad shoulders were all testaments to their night's work.
The teeth marks on his shoulder, in particular, had now turned into scabs.
She seemed to bite a little too hard.
Mu Tiantian pushed Huo Jixiu aside, rubbed her waist and sat up, feeling aches all over her body as if her bones had been broken.
She glanced at the sleeping Huo Jixiu, and the resentment around her lessened considerably.
Mu Tiantian tiptoed off the bed. The floor was still covered with remnants from yesterday, left by his resentment.
She picked up the Buddhist prayer beads that had rolled to the ground, re-threaded them with a red string, and then gently put them on Huo Jixiu's wrist, muttering softly, "They're so easy to break."
Mu Tiantian was a little worried. What should she do about his resentment?
Generally speaking, the resentment of ghosts can be formed in two ways. One is due to external stimuli, such as being tainted by the resentment of evil spirits, which affects one's negative emotions. If it is not cleared away for a long time, it will become more and more serious.
Another factor is oneself. If one is obsessed with the wishes one had in life, feels too regretful and unwilling to die, or has a strong hatred for certain people or things in life, and cannot let go even after death, then resentment will arise.
As time goes by, if one's wishes cannot be fulfilled, resentment will only grow stronger.
External resentment can be resolved with mystical arts, but resentment formed within oneself is only a temporary fix, even if forcibly cleared with mystical arts.
Huo Jixiu's resentment initially stemmed from the former, but gradually transformed into the latter. Therefore, it was necessary to resolve his obsession, find the root of his resentment, and then address the problem accordingly.
As Mu Tiantian pondered a solution, she walked into the bathroom, intending to wash herself.
Meanwhile, the person in bed gradually woke up.
Huo Jixiu had a splitting headache and sat up.
He glanced around; the bedroom was in such a mess that it looked like a home invasion robbery.
Huo Jixiu tried hard to recall, and he remembered that he had asked her to hypnotize him.
He found himself floating in the air, watching the car accident scene on the ground, and he collapsed onto the steering wheel, bleeding profusely.
He had been wandering, seemingly to many places, for an unknown amount of time, until he finally saw her.
He knew nothing about what happened after that.
He thought that this might be because the hypnosis had failed, as the room was in a similar state when he had other people hypnotize him before.
Huo Jixiu suddenly felt a stinging pain in his shoulder. He reached out and rubbed it, touching a shallow scar that looked like a bite mark.
He looked down at himself.
He was sitting naked on the bed, his arms and chest covered in bright red scratches. He even had a strange urge that made his mouth dry.
What exactly happened?
The sound of a hairdryer came from the bathroom.
A few minutes later, Mu Tiantian came out wearing a loose white shirt. Her slender white legs were covered with red marks, and her knees were bruised.
Especially on her neck, down to her collarbone, the dense hickeys on her fair skin were particularly glaring.
Her oversized white shirt was slightly transparent, revealing glimpses of her alluring figure, a sight that stimulated his senses.
Seeing that he was awake and hadn't noticed his abnormality, Mu Tiantian was only thinking about how to distract him. She sat down next to him, cupped his face, and coaxed him sweetly, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. Let me tell you, the taste of food when you're a human is completely different from when you're a ghost."
She had to find a way to make him like being human, so he wouldn't want to be a ghost anymore.
Huo Jixiu was stunned for a long time when he saw her drastic change in attitude towards him.
Seeing his expressionless face, Mu Tiantian felt a little uneasy. Was he thinking about how to kill her?
Looking at the slightly swollen lips in front of him, Huo Jixiu finally couldn't resist and kissed them.
Mu Tiantian's alarm went off.
She hasn't recovered yet, she can't do any more.
Mu Tiantian quickly pushed him away, "I'll go get you something to eat."
After saying that, she fled in panic.
Huo Jixiu watched her departing figure, touched his lips, and found the sensation addictive.
Her words were clearly directed at him when he was a ghost.
So, they had sex after being hypnotized, but he couldn't remember what happened.
It felt like there was another person living inside him.
That's infuriating.
Huo Jixiu tried moving his leg and seemed to be able to exert force.
But I still can't control it freely, and I can't move it.
After a while, Mu Tiantian brought over a bowl of porridge. "This is a mixed porridge I made. Try it, it's delicious."
She scooped up a spoonful, even blowing on it to cool it down, and fed it to him by hand.
Huo Jixiu didn't say anything, but took a sip.
She looked at him expectantly, "Is it delicious? Doesn't it taste different from when you were a ghost?"
Huo Jixiu nodded.
Mu Tiantian seized the opportunity to persuade him gently, "Right? So if we die, you'll never be able to drink my porridge again. It's better to be alive, don't you think?"
This time, Huo Jixiu didn't nod. He just felt strange after hearing her words. Death?
Why did they have to die?
Mu Tiantian thought he still had the idea of being a ghost couple, so she quickly fed him another spoonful of porridge and asked softly, "Can you remember things from before?"
Huo Jixiu remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.
Mu Tiantian was in a dilemma. During this time, she had tried to break the hypnosis, but it was of no use at all.
His company probably has various projects waiting for him to decide on in meetings.
"I told you before that you are the CEO of a listed company with a very large enterprise, do you remember?" Mu Tiantian asked.
Huo Jixiu said calmly, "I remember some."
"Just remember that. I'll find someone for you in a bit. He's your assistant, Yang Han. You'll be managing your company, so if you don't understand anything, just ask him." Mu Tiantian thought for a moment and then added, "I'll always be there for you, helping you."
She was afraid he would think she was going to abandon him.
Huo Jixiu nodded, looking very obedient.
But something felt off, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"Then you should get dressed first, I'll go contact him." With that, Mu Tiantian stood up and picked up her phone from the floor.
She remembered that Yang Han had called her that night, but before they could say more than a few words, he threw her phone away.
Mu Tiantian noticed the silver-purple phone under the wheelchair, picked it up, and casually asked, "Are you still using this wheelchair?"
Huo Jixiu thought for a moment and said, "My legs seem to be giving out again."
