Chapter 058 Shadow Man-14
"Oh, honey, you keep staring at me like this, it makes me a little shy."
The shadow monster even pretended to blush, covering its indescribable part, and blinked its big, bright eyes as it looked at Jiang Yan lovingly.
Jiang Yan's forehead was slightly bulging with veins, and his expression was a little subtle. After a long while, he uttered an unclear sentence: "You are really interesting."
The shadow monster rubbed his head and said, "Hey, by the way, honey, is there anything else you need? I can satisfy you."
Jiang Yan had a question mark on his head, "?"
The shadow monster looked at the glass window. His dark figure was reflected in the window. Only his bright green eyes were the only color of this body. "Do you think I have abdominal muscles? I can pinch them and satisfy you."
Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, "No need."
"And that thing of yours, could you please not show it in front of me so openly?"
Although the other person was not a human, he had the appearance of a human. He stood naked in front of him, and his every move was like that of a pervert.
Jiang Yan covered his cheek, not knowing what to say.
"Hey, you don't like it? Is it too short or--"
Jiang Yan interrupted the other party before he could finish his words. His ears turned red at this moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop!"
"I mean, could you please put on some pants?"
As soon as the words fell, the shadow monster showed a confused expression, repeating the words Jiang Yan said, "Pants?"
"You were once a human, didn't you? It's impossible that you don't even know what pants are." Jiang Yan sighed slightly, his expression full of helplessness. He turned around and rummaged through the closet while speaking, "After all, you are a human now. We all need to wear clothes and pants. You should put them on too!"
"Oh, so that's it." The shadow monster seemed to understand what Jiang Yan meant, but he looked up at Jiang Yan and said in a half-understanding tone, "But you're not wearing pants either."
Um?
After hearing what the other party said, Jiang Yan looked down at his own slender and white legs, which were simply covered with a pair of shorts.
Hey, where are my pants?
No wonder I felt so chilly just now.
Jiang Yan had a brief amnesia, and it took him a moment to remember that his pants were taken off by the shadow monster. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "Didn't you take my pants?"
"It was obviously your pants that stuck to me." said the shadow monster faintly.
Jiang Yan was speechless and didn't want to argue with this guy with weird thinking anymore. He immediately pulled out a pair of pants from the closet and said, "I've never worn this pair. You wear this one." Jiang Yan turned around holding the pants and was about to throw them to the shadow monster, but found that the other party picked up the pair he had worn before.
"Why are you picking up my pants? Leave them here for me."
Jiang Yan walked over and tried to snatch the pair he was wearing, but the other person suddenly raised his hand and refused to give it to him.
"Um?"
"I'll wear this one."
"But I've worn this one before, and you made it sticky. Come on, give it to me so I can wash it."
The shadow monster seemed to not understand what he was saying and shook his head: "No, I will get a new one dirty if you give me one. I'll take this one. I like this one."
At this time, the shadow monster was a head taller than Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan suspected that the other party deliberately lengthened its legs to show its height. So for a moment, Jiang Yan was a little envious of this monster who could change its shape and appearance at will.
"But I have worn this one." Jiang Yan said.
The tall shadow monster in front of him had no grudges, and even said with some pleasure: "Just because you have worn it, I want to wear it even more." After that, he put the pants to his mouth and took a deep sniff, as if he was tasting some delicious food, with a face full of greed and addiction, "There is your smell on it, I like it very much."
Hiss, more like a pervert.
Jiang Yan's heart trembled, and the corners of his mouth were a little stiff, "Don't do this." I'm really scared.
"So can I take these pants?" The shadow monster held Jiang Yan's pants tightly, as if he was afraid that they would be snatched away, but the expression on his face was looking at Jiang Yan very sincerely.
Jiang Yan: "...You please."
"Yeah, I got my wife's pants."
For a moment, the tall and terrifying shadow monster behaved like a dancing child. Jiang Yan was very confused when he saw it.
"Okay, I'll do my homework later, and you don't have to make noise."
"oh."
Jiang Yan looked at the black shadow who was still studying his pants with interest, and couldn't help but frowned: "Are you really listening to me carefully?"
"Ah?" The shadow monster tensed up when his wife called him out, and answered hastily, "I heard it, you said I should be fired."
Jiang Yan: “…” There was a swear word I didn’t know whether I should use or not.
Forget it, there's no way to communicate well with this guy.
Jiang Yan walked around the shadow monster and pulled out the stool from the table. Then he unzipped his schoolbag, took out the exercise book and put it on the table. In the meantime, he saw the small pieces of paper in the schoolbag and remembered that he had forgotten them.
"Woo woo... Mommy... It's dark inside..."
A little paper man was shaking his head and clinging to the edge of the schoolbag, ready to come out. However, as soon as a corner of its white head appeared, it immediately shrank back as if it had seen a ghost.
The remaining three little paper figures saw this and asked, "...Why...are you back..."
The little paper man said in horror: "Daddy... is outside..."
The other little paper figures also became nervous when they heard this, as if they had heard a devilish word.
Jiang Yan turned his head and glanced at the dark shadow who was still admiring the pants, and said helplessly: "What have you done to our cubs? They are so afraid of you."
The shadow monster touched his chin and said, "No, I just told them that if their mommy is kidnapped by bad guys, then I will eat them, because if they can't even protect their mommy, then what's the use of them."
Well, no wonder.
"After all, they are your own children. Can't we just get along with each other in a friendly way?" Jiang Yan felt a little sympathetic to the shivering little paper figures in the schoolbag, so he couldn't help but say a few more words for them, "Don't scare them at every turn."
"Wow, you are such a kind wife." The shadow monster was so moved that tears streamed down his face. Real tears flowed from his dark face like a spring, hitting the floor with a crackling sound and quickly formed a puddle. "So can you love me too?"
Jiang Yan reached out and grabbed a bag of potato chips from the drawer. He threw a handful to the shadow monster and said coldly, "Eat it yourself. I have to do my homework."
"If I fail the college entrance exam, it's your fault!"
Jiang Yan used this sentence to intimidate the other party, although the shadow probably didn't understand it.
Jiang Yan held a pen and looked at the test paper on the table. The words on it were so densely packed like tadpoles that it really gave him a headache.
His grades are really bad, he's thankful to be able to go to college.
Jiang Yan propped his head up with his hands, and began to daydream out of habit again. However, this time, just as his mind was wandering far away for a while, a pair of cold, dark hands touched his shoulders.
Then a deep voice sounded in my ear, "Wife, don't be distracted. You said you wanted to study hard."
Jiang Yan's eyelids twitched, and he opened his mouth to defend himself: "I just said I had to do my homework, that doesn't count as studying hard." The purpose of saying this was to open the question-searching software on his phone.
However, just as he was about to scan the test paper, the shadow monster reached out and pressed his phone, "You are not allowed to search for the answers. You have to write them yourself."
“I can’t write it.”
"If you can't write, just learn slowly. The college entrance examination is coming soon. I know this is very important for you humans. So honey, you have to write it yourself. Don't be afraid. I will always be with you."
Is it important?
But to be honest, Jiang Yan felt that this college entrance examination seemed to have no meaning to him. Maybe the job he could find after graduation would not make as much money as his live streaming.
"I'm so envious. You shadows don't have to take exams or go to school." Jiang Yan lay on the table, feeling a little exhausted, and said, "I want to be a shadow, too."
The shadow monster got angry, "What are you thinking? What's good about being a shadow? It's ugly and you can only hide in dark corners."
"Besides, if you really don't like taking exams, forget it. Just try your best. I will always like you no matter how you do." The shadow monster suddenly said righteously, "In a sense, we are the same person. I was created by you, so I support whatever you do unconditionally."
"But even so, I still don't want to see you fall. After all, it was your loneliness that made me who I am. I think God has his reasons for bestowing these supernatural phenomena. So my mission should be to help you get out of loneliness?"
"Then why do you let me be your wife?" Jiang Yan said.
The shadow monster replied: "This is not a conflict. Just tell me whether you are still lonely or not."
"It seems... gone." With the company of these strange guys, it seems... I am much happier than before.
"Well...but I really don't understand."
"It's okay, take your time. Learning is a long-term thing. Even if you don't need it in the exam, you will always need it in other things." The shadow monster hugged Jiang Yan from behind and put its head against the boy's fair neck. The two people's black and white skin instantly formed a sharp contrast.
Jiang Yan opened his mouth: "Anything else?"
The shadow monster said meaningfully: "You see, I also read every day. Don't you think I am very different from other single-celled organisms?"
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, "I didn't see it."
The shadow monster pretended to be injured, and suddenly stretched out a finger to press against Jiang Yan's lips, and said in an ambiguous tone: "I'm a good kisser."
He paused before finishing his words and continued, "Also, I'm pretty good in bed too, would you like to date me tonight?"
"The book is really good. Don't read it next time."
"Just kidding." The shadow monster stretched his neck to look at the test paper in Jiang Yan's hand, stroking his chin as if thinking, "This question... looks difficult."
"But honey, you actually wrote a row of numbers, that's still great."
"..." Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, "Is there a possibility? This is a known condition."
"…It doesn't matter. I just want to praise you anyway."
Jiang Yan's heart moved, and he lowered his eyes slightly. After a while, he slowly said, "As my shadow, don't you think our relationship is too ambiguous?"
"I did it on purpose."
“…”
"By the way, can you please stop live streaming in the future?"
Jiang Yan raised his eyes and asked, "Why?"
Shadow Monster: "So many people are looking at you, I'm jealous."
Jiang Yan: "But I need to make money."
Shadow Monster: "Then I'll pick up trash to feed you."
Jiang Yan closed the exercise book, stood up, stretched his waist, and yawned lazily. "I'm just transitioning. I don't have to live broadcast all the time."
"Go to bed."
The lights were turned off, and the room was quickly shrouded in darkness. The shadow monster hid inside, blending into the night.
Jiang Yan didn't know where the shadow had gone. He hugged the four little paper figures and went into bed. The little paper figures pulled at his pajamas and said in a sticky voice, "...Mommy...tell me a story..."
"Well, let me think about it." Jiang Yan was in a good mood. He put his finger on the thin and flat body of a small paper man and thought for a while, "Let me tell you a dream I had before."
"Okay~"
"There was a young man living in a mountain village. He had no worries about food and clothing, and his parents loved him very much. But one day, he was abducted to the back mountain, where he was targeted by a snake demon. The snake pestered him and wanted him to lay eggs. It would not let him leave until he had laid all the eggs."
Jiang Yan couldn't remember these dreams clearly, so he only gave a vague account of them.
"So in the end...did it give birth?" a little paper man asked curiously.
"Well...it's born." For some reason, when Jiang Yan said this, she felt pain in her stomach, as if a baby had just been born inside her, and there was a tearing pain.
"How many eggs are there?" asked a little paper man who was interested in novelty.
“I don’t remember clearly.”
"That young man... is he my mommy?" The little paper figurine tilted its head slightly, but due to the size difference, only Jiang Yan's chin could be seen.
"Um."
"Oh? Then daddy is... that snake demon!" The little paper man said firmly with confidence from nowhere.
Jiang Yan thought: Of course not.
But after the little paper man’s reminder, he immediately regretted telling this story, because... it seemed like he had invisibly cuckolded his “current boyfriend”, the shadow monster?
Even in dreams.
But considering how jealous the shadow monster is, there would probably be a big fuss if it heard it.
Fortunately, I don’t know where the shadow went, so it should not be in this room.
Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a dark shadow crawled out from under the bed. He clung to the edge of the bed with a resentful look on his face. His green eyes stared at the person on the bed. A ghostly voice rang out in the dark room: "Wife, I heard it."
"You were actually being affectionate with another man in your dream. Tell me, who is that snake man?!"
Faced with Shadow's flames of jealousy, Jiang Yan was slightly startled, and suddenly a forgotten name popped up in his mind.
He suddenly remembered that the snake man in his dream seemed to be called "Mengtang".
"Hey, do you have a name?"
The shadow monster scratched his chin, "Mengtang."
"Isn't this the name of the person you pretended to be? I mean your real name." Jiang Yan said, "Have you ever given yourself one before?" After a pause, he added, "Or, did I give you one?"
“Mengtang, this is indeed my name.” The shadow monster said, “I forgot who gave me this name. Anyway, since I was born into this world, this name has been imprinted in my mind like a ghost.”
"What?" Is there such a coincidence?
In both dreams that Jiang Yan had, he established some kind of close relationship with different monsters, and the common point between the monsters was that they had the same name.
"So, who is the man in your dream?" The shadow monster suddenly jumped onto the bed, turned over and pressed Jiang Yan onto the bed, his eyes were filled with a strong possessiveness, and his voice was as sticky and cold as a venomous snake, "You said before that I'm not a human and despised me, but now you're hooking up with another species!"
