Just then, a cool breeze blew by, and Su Nianxue felt a chill. She forced herself to stay awake and asked, "Ran, and then?"
"Then he looked down and saw that what was grabbing his ankle was... a human hand."
Under the moonlight, the hand emitted a pale, cold glow.
Soon, a second, a third, a fourth, and so on emerged from the ground...
In his fright, he hurriedly ran towards his home, but he couldn't get out of the woods no matter what he did..."
The grass stalks by the roadside brushed down her ankles, feeling cool and refreshing.
The moon had somehow hidden behind the clouds, and the whole world suddenly dimmed.
Only the flashlight in her hand remained, emitting a beam of orange light to illuminate the path ahead.
A gentle evening breeze rustled the roadside trees, making them sway slightly, like baring, monstrous beasts lunging at them.
In the pitch-black wilderness, only the two of them remained.
She hugged Gu Yanbai even tighter, pressing almost her entire upper body against his back.
"Gu Yanbai, stop talking. I don't want to hear this story anymore."
Gu Yanbai smiled slightly and rode the bike more steadily.
Only when she saw the familiar gate of the Gu family home did Su Nianxue's heart finally settle down. "Gu Yanbai, you dare to scare me?"
"This isn't my fault; you're the one who wanted to listen," Gu Yanbai said with a grin, completely absolving himself of any responsibility.
"You did it on purpose. Who told you to tell ghost stories in the wild?"
"How scary!" Looking at his grinning face, Su Nianxue wanted nothing more than to punch him a couple of times.
"That's because you're a coward, who else can you blame?"
I pass through that road every night when I come home late at night, how could I not be afraid?
"Do you think everyone is like you? Always coming back in the middle of the night?"
"It would be better if the female ghost dragged her away later!" Su Nianxue ignored her and walked straight into the house.
"I'm full of masculine energy, and no one in this world but you can get close to me."
If a female ghost comes, I'll still flatten her.
"Are you still angry?" Gu Yanbai followed him into the room.
Once the two were lying on the bed together, Su Nianxue turned over, showing him the back of her head.
"Look at you, you're the one who wants to hear stories, and then you take it out on me after you get scared."
Being a man is hard, but being Su Nianxue's man is even harder.
Hearing him muttering behind her, Su Nianxue suddenly turned over and said, "Gu Yanbai, can't you let a person get any sleep?"
"You go to sleep, you go to sleep!" After a while, he asked again, "Wife, are you really not coming to town with me tomorrow?"
"I'm not going!"
"Do you want to know who opened the business?"
"In no mood!"
Gu Yanbai's eyes darted around, a sly glint in them.
"Wu Xiaomei has been clamoring to drink with me, it looks like I can't refuse tomorrow."
Why!
Among our group, I'm the only one who hasn't drunk with her, and she's mentioned it so many times.
Tomorrow...
Before he could finish speaking, Su Nianxue suddenly turned over and asked, "You, who did you just say? You said it was Wu Xiaomei who's opening tomorrow?"
Gu Yanbai nodded seriously, "Yes."
I know you don't like her, but I can't refuse.
She's Brother Wu's own sister, so which of us brothers wouldn't give Brother Wu face?
Moreover, lunch was held at our family's restaurant.
Do you think I can refuse this?
"Then it's really impossible to refuse." She put herself in his shoes and realized that given his relationship with Fifth Brother, it was indeed difficult to refuse.
"Then why don't you come with me?"
After we send Su Jiaojiao off to her wedding, we'll go to town together.
"When you get back, why don't you go to her shop and see if there are any clothes you like?" Gu Yanbai continued to persuade him.
Su Nianxue suddenly thought of a possibility,
"Gu Yanbai, the clothes you brought me, you didn't buy them from her, did you?"
Gu Yanbai shook his head, "No. I have a friend who specializes in selling women's clothing."
Your clothes all come from him.
Wu Xiaomei's shop also sources its goods from him.
He smiled and ruffled her hair; this girl was a little petty.
If he doesn't explain it clearly, she promises she won't wear these clothes anymore.
"Oh, that's good!" Otherwise, she would feel disgusted whenever she saw these clothes.
"So, are you going?"
"I'm not going!" The thought of possibly having to patronize Wu Xiaomei's business made her feel uneasy.
Even if I buy the clothes, she probably won't want to wear them.
"Fine, if I don't want to go, I won't go! Time for bed!"
Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Gu Yanbai didn't force her.
As usual, he pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms.
"Gu Yanbai, let go of me! We're still arguing, and I haven't even acknowledged you yet."
"Who argued with you? I don't remember anything like that."
"Gu Yanbai, how can you be so shameless?"
Gu Yanbai scoffed. What's the point of a husband and wife having any sense of shame? Even if they decide who is superior, what's the use?
His large hand slowly slipped inside her slightly open collar, kneading her body a couple of times.
"Don't want to sleep, huh? How about... we..."
Su Nianxue immediately stopped struggling. "Gu Yanbai, what are you doing? I have to get up early tomorrow!"
"I see you have a lot of energy, so you won't be able to fall asleep anytime soon."
Or I can help you burn some energy, and I guarantee you'll sleep soundly later.
