Chapter 011 Don't be too hypocritical when being a ghost
Chen Sangning didn't sleep. She kept her eyes open even when she was nestled in Lin Xi's arms. Her big black eyeballs couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, but as the sky gradually brightened and light came in from the window through the thin curtains, the people in the live broadcast room were almost scared to death.
Chen Sangning's eyes remained motionless, her dark pupils fixed on Lin Xi. That gaze was like a ghost seeking death; most people would find it difficult to fall asleep under such a gaze. But Lin Xi slept soundly. Not only that, even after falling asleep, she would occasionally rub her chin against Chen Sangning's head in her arms.
Now Shen Sang Ning was pushed away, looking at Lin Xi with a confused look, and Lin Xi actually saw a trace of grievance on his wife's face. She was a little embarrassed, and waited until her sister got out of bed and went out before she went over to comfort Shen Sang Ning: "Ning Ning, it's not that I'm overdoing it, there are children here, we can't lead the future flowers astray..."
Lin Xi wanted to say "flower", but then she thought carefully that her sister was a ghost, so it couldn't be a flower. At most, it could be considered a... wilted bud.
"In short, you can't lead children astray."
Shen Sangning said nothing and stretched out her hand to Lin Xi. Lin Xi was very familiar with this action. Shen Sangning wanted to hug her. She did not hesitate, moved her knees on the bed, and then moved closer to Shen Sangning, and nestled herself in Shen Sangning's arms.
It was really cold, but it wasn't that obvious in the bed. After getting out of bed, Lin Xi hugged Chen Sang Ning and felt that if she hugged him for a while, she would be frozen into ice together.
Before Lin Xi shivered, Shen Sangning suddenly called out, "Wife." Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then responded, "I'm here."
The two of them hugged each other for a while before Lin Xi remembered the live broadcast room. She coughed lightly, let go of Shen Sang Ning, and let his wife return to his body.
Lin Xi got out of bed and saw that the quilt and pillows on the upper bunk were folded up. She thought of the bedroom rule - to keep the bedroom clean and tidy. Obviously, her quilt was not tidy. Lin Xi had no choice but to fold the quilt, spread the sheets flat, and then put the pillow on top of the quilt.
In fact, Lin Xi is not such a clean and tidy person. Every morning when she goes to work, she has to be pulled out of bed by Shen Sang Ning. She has no time to fold the quilt. She just throws off the quilt and runs away. She even buys breakfast at a breakfast shop near the company. After returning home, she doesn't want to fold the quilt anymore. She will go to bed soon. What's the point of folding it?
This is the current living situation of young people today.
Even an excellent representative like Shen Sangning doesn't fold the quilt very often. She only folds the quilt when she gets up early or on weekends. Lin Xi especially likes to run to Shen Sangning's room to destroy the quilt she folded, and then Shen Sangning punishes her to cook at night. Shen Sangning doesn't need to punish her, because she is basically the one who does the cooking.
The all-rounder Shen Sangning couldn't cook, but the useless Lin Xi could cook delicious dishes.
Since Lin Xi's parents passed away, she was the only one at home. If she couldn't cook, relying on others to get by wasn't a good idea. So cooking became Lin Xi's greatest skill. Another skill was judo. Lin Xi had good physical fitness. She was the provincial judo women's champion that year, and she was able to get extra points and enter the university that Shen Sang Ning wanted.
Lin Xi folded the quilt, left the bedroom, turned around and went into the bathroom, ready to rinse her mouth and wash her face. She didn't know which one was her toothbrush, so the easiest way was to just rinse her mouth. This time when she turned on the faucet, no blood came out, so Lin Xi just scooped some water into her mouth and rinsed her mouth with the water.
Then he held the water and washed his face. After doing this, Lin Xi took some tissue paper and wiped the water stains on his face.
Breakfast had been set out in the restaurant, and it looked quite rich.
There was a bowl of porridge, boiled eggs, steamed buns, and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings were a little far away from her, so Lin Xi reached out and grabbed a dumpling. There were only four dumplings in a fast food box, and there were only two left when Lin Xi ate. She reached out and picked it up and was about to stuff it into her mouth, but her brother next to her shouted.
“This is my Xiao Long Bao!”
Lin Xi was sharp-eyed and noticed that there was still one in his bowl, so she said, "You already have one in your bowl, I want to eat one."
"How could you do this! I love eating soup dumplings!"
If it was yesterday, Lin Xi might have carefully put the steamed bun down and put it in her brother's bowl, and even comforted him. But today, who cares? Do it to me. Lin Xi rolled her eyes and ignored her brother, and took a bite. The steamed bun was thin and had a lot of fillings. When she took a bite, the full juice slid directly into her mouth.
You know what, it’s really delicious.
When the younger brother saw the dumplings go in, he pursed his lips and was about to take the last one down, but Lin Xi's chopsticks got there first and picked up the last dumpling into his bowl as well.
At her action, her brother's expression collapsed, and his face became particularly terrifying. His eyes were pitch black without even the whites of his eyes, and his mouth turned into a bloody mouth that split open on both sides. His voice was sharp, and the moment it sounded next to Lin Xi, she felt pain in her ears.
"Mine! It's mine! It's all mine! Everything in this house belongs to me! How dare you?!"
Not only did Lin Xi dare to take it away, she even dared to mock him out loud: "Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day long is eat. Mom and Dad are still alive and it's all yours. How can you be so shameless? What's wrong with eating one of your Xiao Long Bao? Why can only you eat two, but not me? Don't be so hypocritical as a ghost!"
The younger brother got angry for a moment and looked at his parents for help, but his parents turned their faces away. Last night, everyone had experienced how powerful the female ghost beside Lin Xi was. Even the ghost of "mother" couldn't deal with her, so how could the ghost of "brother" be her opponent?
These four ghosts had done a truly terrible job. The ghosts next door were killing everyone, and even though fourteen other contestants, like Lin Xi, hadn't yet reached the heavens, they were still living in fear. Unlike their livestream, Lin Xi had simply taken over the show, completely ignoring them.
Lin Xi’s only worry now is whether Chen Sang Ning can handle this strange story of “home”. These four…are definitely no match for his wife.
Seeing her brother had no intention of resisting, Lin Xi pouted and stuffed the steamed dumpling into her mouth. As she ate the dumpling, she was still thinking about the world. Lin Xi wasn't really an idiot; she would never do something that had nothing to do with her own interests. She did this to test the rules.
Rule 6 stated, "My younger brother is the only boy in the family, and all his requests must be met." Lin Xi wasn't sure if this was a rule of the "family" or the four ghosts', but judging from the test just now, it was probably the ghosts' rule.
After careful thinking yesterday, Lin Xi divided the rules into two categories, one is the rules of "Sweet Home" itself, and the other is the rules of the four ghosts in the house. For example, there are only five people in this house, which is the rule of the house. Once triggered, it will cause hostility in the whole house, and the house will attack autonomously.
The sixth rule was obviously his younger brother's own rule. If his demands were not met, he would attack. But now he was no match for Shen Sang Ning, so there was no way to enforce this. It was not necessarily a rule written by his younger brother himself. The rule "my younger brother is the only boy in the family" was very likely written by his parents.
This small incident of eating dumplings made Lin Xi confirm that his thinking was correct and that the rules were indeed divided into two categories.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Xi did not return to his room, but carefully came to the sofa in the living room to look for the living room rules. This time the rules were in the phone book on the TV cabinet. Lin Xi took it out and opened it, and the first page he saw was...
【Living Room Rules:
1. Watch TV in moderation and don't watch it for long periods of time; ^o^
2. Family members should be harmonious and friendly;
3. Do not stay in the living room after 10 pm;
4. Keep quiet and don’t disturb the neighbors downstairs;
5. The living room is a common place for family members. 】
It was true that there were rules everywhere. Lin Xi stopped pretending and simply took out a pen and paper from his pocket in front of the four ghosts. He sat on the ground, took the small table and began to copy. After copying, he put the phone book back.
Lin Xi sat on the sofa, but did not turn on the TV. God knows what will be played on TV in this world. What if it is some horror content, like Sadako's? What if a ghost suddenly crawls out and wants to teach her a lesson?
Someone who could crawl through the TV must be more powerful than these four who stayed at home all day, right? Lin Xi wouldn't take any risks unless she was sure Shen Sangning was strong enough to kill any ghost. After all, Shen Sangning was possessing her. If she summoned a ghost that Shen Sangning couldn't deal with, they would both die.
Mom cleared the dishes in the kitchen. The younger brother and sister went back to their room and got a small backpack. Dad looked at Lin Xi and said, "Why don't you go get ready? You'll be late if you don't go out now."
"Late? What are you doing?"
"Go to art class."
Lin Xi's alarm bells rang. The eighth rule of the sweet home rules was "It is very dangerous outside the home, only home is safe." She remembered it very well. There were so many rules in this broken place. If she went outside, she might encounter even more rules.
She is not stupid. In this situation, she just stays at home, which is relatively safe, and won't go anywhere.
Lin Xi said firmly: "I won't go."
