Mu Tiantian coughed twice, taking a breather.
She tried to pry Huo Jixiu's hands off, but they wouldn't budge, continuing to gently stroke the skin on her neck and shoulders.
Even without any force, he made her tremble, fearing that he would strangle her to death.
"You...you remember everything?" Mu Tiantian asked cautiously.
"Do you expect me to forget you, Tian Tian? How could you do this to me?" Huo Jixiu slowly lowered his head, his large hand gently lifting her chin from the base of her thumb and forefinger, looking directly into those beautiful eyes that he both loved and hated, filled with panic.
He glanced down at her slightly parted red lips and couldn't help but kiss them lightly.
He touched me lightly, like a dragonfly skimming the water, but he didn't leave. Instead, he kept our lips pressed together and whispered, "Do you remember what you promised me? We agreed that there would be no breakup, only widowhood."
His lips trembled as he spoke, rubbing against her skin, the tingling and itchy sensation making her involuntarily purse her lips.
Huo Jixiu noticed that she seemed quite displeased with her pursed lips, so he bit her lip lightly.
"Hiss~" Mu Tiantian cried out in pain, her lips parting.
Huo Jixiu gave her no chance to breathe, sealing her lips with his and lingering over them.
He kissed her forcefully, and at the same time, the large hand gripping her neck tightened its hold.
Mu Tiantian panicked and could only make muffled noises, patting Huo Jixiu's hands with both of hers.
Huo Jixiu ignored him and instead deepened the kiss.
It felt to her as if they wanted to suffocate her to death.
But whenever she couldn't breathe and thought he was really going to strangle her, he would loosen his grip.
It's like wanting her to die, but... not wanting her to die...
It was unclear how much time had passed before Huo Jixiu finally released her.
Mu Tiantian took a deep breath of fresh air. Her legs went weak from his kisses, and she fell into his arms, her cheek resting on his bare chest. His skin was so hot it could burn her face.
Huo Jixiu bent down and hugged her, burying his head in the crook of her neck. The feeling was completely different from when he touched her as a ghost.
He greedily absorbed her scent, gently licking the skin of her neck and shoulders, leaving faint red marks.
When he, as a living being, embraced and kissed her, he felt only a very light sensation, which always left him feeling unsatisfied.
But now, even such a simple hug and kiss is enough to make him unable to resist and unable to control himself.
He seems to be somewhat addicted.
So he changed his mind; he wanted to enjoy everything about her and make her completely his.
Mu Tiantian dared not move. Panic amplified her senses, and shivers ran through her body from the places he touched.
She glanced at the wheelchair in the center of the bedroom and found it unbelievable.
Why did he suddenly stand up?
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he seems no different from when he was a living being.
Could it be... that he only remembered the two years his soul left his body, and he doesn't remember anything else?
Mu Tiantian composed herself and tentatively asked, "Do you remember what you told me? That you would kill someone just because you broke up with them? You should go see..."
Huo Jixiu suddenly raised his head and stared intently into her eyes. His azure eyes were filled with resentment, as if he could kill her immediately if she said the wrong thing.
Mu Tiantian swallowed hard, but in order to find out more details about him, she forced herself to say, "You should see a... mental hospital, do you remember?"
She spoke the word 'mental illness' with extreme softness, almost as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
A hint of doubt flashed in Huo Jixiu's resentful eyes. After a moment, he realized that this was her excuse for breaking up and said fiercely, "I've said it before, there's no breakup, only widowhood. You want to break up with me and marry Gu Yichen? I'm telling you, that's impossible!"
Mu Tiantian grasped the key point and asked疑惑地问道, "What does this have to do with Gu Yichen?"
When she left, she only told him that she was going to get married abroad and made up a rich fiancé who didn't exist. She never mentioned Gu Yichen. Why would he ask that?
When Huo Jixiu heard Gu Yichen's name from her, a strong pang of jealousy surged in his heart.
"Don't you dare mention him!" Huo Jixiu growled jealously, then his voice softened after a moment, sounding pitiful and aggrieved. "You promised me... how could you go back on your word? You said you'd marry me after I woke up. I tried so hard to control the resentment entering my body, but you thought I'd be crippled for life. I tried so hard to walk. What do I have to do for you to stay by my side..."
Mu Tiantian felt a pang of guilt as she listened to his plea.
She originally wanted to agree to his request and then coax him a little more.
To her surprise, his next words shut her up abruptly: "If we kill Gu Yichen, will you be able to stay by my side? But if we kill him, he will become a ghost, and you can still be with him. How about we become a ghost couple? As for the method of death... do you think we should jump off a building dozens of stories high together, or drown in the sea together?"
His blue eyes shone brightly as he looked at Mu Tiantian with a smile, appearing harmless, but the words he uttered were incredibly chilling.
Mu Tiantian was speechless. Was she supposed to choose how she was supposed to die?
She quickly coaxed, "Of course I want to be with you. All those things I said before were lies. I won't marry anyone else. I only want to marry you. So we can live together as husband and wife. Isn't that better, right?"
Mu Tiantian smiled sweetly at him, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of seriousness.
Huo Jixiu liked her smiles at him and also liked her sweet coaxing.
But...
"How can you be so sure you're not lying to me?" Huo Jixiu asked her seriously.
"Then what would it take for you to believe me?"
"Let's die together, and become a ghost couple." He said the same thing again.
"You..." Mu Tiantian's smile froze. She really wanted to crack his head open and see why he was always thinking about dying.
She thought for a moment, then gently advised, "You haven't experienced the joy of being human yet, so how can you always think about being a ghost? Right? I'd definitely be willing to be your ghost husband and wife, but have you thought about how we're going to die?"
Hearing her say that, he really hadn't figured out how he wanted to die. It couldn't be too painful, and the way he died shouldn't be too gruesome. The location also had to be carefully chosen, and it had to be ensured that their ghosts could be tied together after death.
Seeing that Huo Jixiu was really thinking, Mu Tiantian pressed on, "Look, you haven't decided yet, have you? So we can plan ahead, collect all the ways to die, and then choose slowly. What do you think?"
Huo Jixiu nodded in agreement.
Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, at least she had bought him some time to distract him.
Suddenly, she felt a lightness in her body.
Huo Jixiu picked her up and carried her to the large bed.
Mu Tiantian instinctively hugged his neck, "What are you going to do?"
"You just said, experience the joy of being human."
