CompletedXi Bai, a handsome college student, has a secret: he can hear the inner thoughts of ghosts.
One day, a new roommate moves into his shared apartment. When Xi Bai brushes past him, he hears the thought, “Hmm, it’s him.” Turning around, the roommate says nothing.
Xi Bai: “?”
This strange occurrence repeats several times, leaving Xi Bai puzzled. “But my roommate is obviously human…”
☆
With his mind-reading ability, Xi Bai has helped countless ghosts with unresolved grievances. He thought his good deeds would grant him a long life. But on his 20th birthday, a self-proclaimed Ghost King appears in his dreams.
The Ghost King says, “Your lifespan has ended. Come with me to the underworld.”
However, Xi Bai hears something unexpected. Blinking, he asks, “Did you just say you’re worried I’ll figure something out?”
The Ghost King: … (Oh no, he can hear my thoughts! He’s not supposed to know he’s not actually due to die, and I’m tricking him!)
Xi Bai: “You’re lying to me!”
The Ghost King: !! (He really can hear me! Don’t tell me he also knows I like him!)
Xi Bai: “Wait, you like me?!”
When Xi Bai wakes up, the Ghost King flees. But every time he closes his eyes, he sees the handsome Ghost King, blushing furiously, retreating in embarrassment amid swirling black mist.
☆
As for the Ghost King’s “confession,” Xi Bai has no intention of reciprocating. He doesn’t want to date a ghost—he’s not even ready to die!
Soon, Xi Bai falls for his charming and wealthy new roommate. Everything seems perfectly normal until one day, while resting in his boyfriend’s arms, he hears a thought amidst the sound of a heartbeat:
“Has he not realized I’m the Ghost King yet?”
Xi Bai looks up: “?”
His boyfriend, Gu Chi, notices his gaze and gently asks, “Hungry? I’ll make you something to eat.”
Xi Bai squints. Stop pretending—I heard you!
