My mind went completely blank! I was kissed, and this time it was real! Although I had already imagined the scene of kissing him when I saw his photo, now that he actually kissed me, I felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
My legs trembled a bit; this was the dormitory! I certainly didn't want to lose my innocence in broad daylight because of some ghost!
"Sir, please let me go. I have no grudges against you in the past or present. I have no money and no beauty to offer, so why make things difficult for me?"
"Why are you speaking so sarcastically?" He raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.
"Uh..." I was at a loss for words. "Aren't you from ancient times?"
"But I've come to the modern era. I know how to adapt to local customs. Don't you understand?"
Tch, if he knew how to adapt, why was he still wearing that long robe and sporting long hair?
But I hurriedly said, "I understand, I understand! Handsome, please let me go! I'm ugly and lazy; no man in five thousand years would dare marry a woman like me! And you’re so handsome—there are countless girls lining up for a chance with you. Marrying me would be such a loss for you!"
The man seemed quite pleased with what I said. He reached out and touched my face, his long hair brushing against my skin, making me feel all fluttery inside.
He pinched my face, looking at it from left to right before concluding, "You really are quite hard on the eyes, but what you said is all true. For that reason alone, I've decided to marry you."
"Sir, have you lost your mind?"
"What?"
"Ah, I mean, Handsome, please think twice! A vase can at least hold flowers; marrying me would be utterly useless!"
"I can use you as a vase."
"Wow! Handsome Man, how can you say such vulgar things with that face?"
"Daddy, how do you insert?" Rice suddenly returned intact, and I realized my worries were unnecessary. But what on earth was he talking about?
"A hundred years from now, you can ask me that question again." The handsome man finally sat up, giving me a chance to catch my breath.
Suddenly, I recalled what Handsome Man had said when he first appeared—he mentioned "as you wish." Before that, I had asked for them to disappear from my world, which meant... they could indeed vanish as I wished!
I felt a glimmer of hope and quickly reminded them, "Someone just promised to disappear from my world."
Rice immediately pointed at Handsome Man with a grin. "Daddy, it was you who said that!" Implicitly suggesting it had nothing to do with him. The little guy was quite clever! A professional at tricking his father.
"Yes, it was me," Handsome Man admitted without hesitation. "So, do you agree?"
"Of course I agree!" I nodded vigorously, thinking this was something I should be asking. Why was he asking me?
I soon found out the answer.
Handsome Man's powerful hand suddenly landed on my Crown of Heaven.
I screamed in terror, "What are you doing?" It looked like he intended to kill me! Had he misunderstood? I wanted him to disappear!
"I'm taking you to our world," he said expressionlessly and ominously.
"Sure, sure!" Rice chimed in happily from the side. "That way we can all live together happily!"
"Happiness my foot! Didn't we agree that you would disappear from my world? Why do I have to go to yours?" If I went to their world, wouldn't that mean I was done for?
"Mommy, I understand Daddy's intention. If we take you to our world, then we'll disappear from yours! Not only does it meet your request, but our family can be together too. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Rice blinked at me with his pitch-black eyes that had no whites. Although he was smiling, an inexplicable chill ran down my spine.
Were these two deliberately pretending to be foolish to trick me into dying?
Although my academic performance wasn't great, my intelligence was still normal. If I were deceived by these two ghosts, then I wouldn't be called Youmai Vegetable!
"You must be joking. How could I, a living person, go to your world?" I said, nearly in tears.
Handsome Man still wore an expressionless face like a corpse, but Rice was eager to answer my question. "You can go if you're dead!"
He seemed to have no understanding of what "death" meant to me, saying it as casually as if discussing plain water.
"But I don't want to die." I really didn't want to die; I was still young, hadn't finished college, hadn't fallen in love, and hadn't repaid my parents or society!
Rice appeared surprised by my answer. He probably couldn't comprehend why I didn't want to be with them!
Suddenly, he jumped onto my shoulder and grabbed Handsome Man's hand, trying hard to pull him away. "Daddy, Mommy doesn't want to die."
But Handsome Man's strength was far beyond what this little ghost could match. No matter how hard he tried, that hand remained on my Crown of Heaven, as if it could remove it at any moment.
With tear-filled eyes, I looked at the handsome man. "Hey there, you can tell me what type of woman you like, and I'll draw one for you—no, ten! How about twelve? I'll cover all twelve zodiac signs with different personalities for you to choose from! Just let me go..." Sigh, I wondered how much it would cost me to buy twelve paintings.
"I like you just the way you are," he replied calmly, without any expression one would expect during a confession. Was this coffin face a result of staying in a coffin for too long?
Thinking of this made me shiver again. What on earth did I do in my past life to be haunted by two ghosts?
"But Daddy, Mommy doesn't want to die!" Rice looked at the Handsome Man with a troubled expression.
In that moment, I suddenly fell in love with this little brat; he was emphasizing what I dared not say!
"Then just live well." The handsome man suddenly released my Crown of Heaven and effortlessly pulled Rice down from my shoulder. "You are already mine, so don't even think about having anything to do with other men. If that ring comes off, I'll take your head."
I shivered in fear, instinctively touching my neck, unable to speak for a long time.
"Daddy, you scared Mommy!" Rice stood firmly in front of me, shielding me from the wind and rain. It was so touching!
"You too. If you dare to turn into my likeness again..."
"Daddy, don't worry, I won't do it again!" Before the handsome man could finish his sentence, Rice immediately promised. After that, he jumped onto the handsome man's shoulder and whispered loudly enough for me to hear, "Daddy, I knew you'd show up as soon as I turned into your likeness."
So he did it on purpose? He deliberately lured this Handsome Man over? Rice, what are you planning?
Watching the little brat turn back and grin at me triumphantly while perched on the big guy's shoulder made me feel like I would never have peace again...
Just then, footsteps approached from outside. Without even looking outside, the handsome man said to me, "Goodbye."
The little brat reluctantly added, "Mommy, I love you!"
At that moment, the footsteps reached the door, and Fang Xiaonan's voice came through: "Wheat!" Xiaonan was great; she couldn't bear to see me trapped and came to rescue me.
Since they didn't believe I had encountered a ghost at all, to avoid being seen as crazy, I hurriedly pretended to be nonchalant and replied, "Xiaonan, hurry and open the door! Madam, if I fail my classes, I'm going to find Chen Siyuan and Gao Lele to fight!"
"Okay, okay! I'm opening it right now!"
As I opened the door, I was just about to put on my shoes and get out of bed...
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
But who could have known!
From the bathroom came the sounds of "bang!" "clatter!" "ah!" as Xiaonan and I widened our eyes, staring at the sight of two ghosts—a large one and a small one—tumbling over each other inside.
I could vaguely hear Rice saying, "Daddy, I forgot to mention that I closed the window when I got back."
So ghosts can't just pass through windows?
But I couldn't think about that anymore because Xiaonan had already started screaming, "Ah—Wheat! How can there be a man in our dormitory!? Oh my gosh, has he not cut his hair in ten years?"
In that moment, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
But then I thought, he's not anyone to me; why should I feel embarrassed for him? So I joined Xiaonan in astonishment and said, "Not just ten years! He probably hasn't cut it since he was born! Who knows if he even bathes, hahahaha!"
Kicking someone when they're down—that's right, that's the kind of person I am.
