FV CH 13

Ghost Baby

Chapter 13: Surprise!

Tang Ning subconsciously turned around and twisted the door handle frantically, but the door couldn’t be opened.

He was trapped in the basement, and the eerie silence and coldness swept through Tang Ning’s body.

Giggling rang out in the supposedly empty room. If Tang Ning could barely control himself when he saw the crib when he first entered the door, now that he heard this nightmarish child’s laughter, his fear was like a tsunami bursting.

He took out the chocolate from his pocket with trembling hands, covered his eyes with one hand, and handed the chocolate forward with the other hand.

The baby’s laughter continued. Through his fingers, Tang Ning could vaguely see a small figure squirming on the small bed. The little thing jumped off the bed and crawled towards Tang Ning like a puppy.

Tang Ning felt goosebumps all over his body. His scalp was numb. He quickly threw the chocolate out of his hand, then turned around and twisted the door handle with all his strength!

—”Crunch.”
The door opened.

The ecstasy of surviving the disaster overwhelmed Tang Ning at this moment. He looked at the open door in surprise, only to encounter a tall figure.

That was Mo Yunchu’s figure.

Tang Ning and Mo Yunchu looked at each other for just one glance. His hair stood on end and his heart seemed to have stopped beating.

Because, he saw that Mo Yunchu had no face.

On that slender neck was a head without facial features.

At this time, all the lights in the room were turned off, plunging the room into darkness. Tang Ning’s head was buzzing, he was shaking so hard, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

The sound of rolling wheels sounded in the empty basement, and wisps of orange-red firelight swayed in the darkness. Under the candlelight, Mo Yunchu peeled off the layer of human skin without facial features, revealing an extremely handsome face.

The long and narrow phoenix eyes stared at Tang Ning intently. The thick and slender eyelashes were stained with the dancing firelight, and the tail of the eyes was slightly raised, exuding a strange charm that coexisted with evil and charm.

This is a face that has fascinated countless boys and girls. It deserves to be praised with the most gorgeous words in the world. However, there is only one word left in Tang Ning’s mind—

Demon.

Something rubbed against his feet. Tang Ning lowered his head blankly and saw a ferocious version of Annabelle’s doll crawling to his feet. The doll had protruding cheekbones and baby fat. The corners of its bright red lips were raised, and its empty eyes stared directly at him.

With his thin lips parted in a smile, Mo Yunchu shouted loudly to the stunned Tang Ning, “surprise!”

The rich sweet smell hit his face. Mo Yunchu pushed the trolley containing the birthday cake in front of Tang Ning and said with a smile, “Happy birthday to our Xiao Ning!!!”

Tang Ning stared at Mo Yunchu blankly, his mind going blank after suffering beyond the threshold of fear, and he didn’t know how to react to everything in front of him.

Mo Yunchu leaned down and picked up the doll that kept laughing at Tang Ning’s footsteps. He handed the doll to Tang Ning and said softly, “I saw your doll was broken on the bus before. I specially found someone to customize this doll.”

The ferocious-looking doll appeared in front of Tang Ning’s eyes. Tang Ning’s pupils kept shrinking. He opened his mouth and heard a weak and trembling cry coming from his throat: “Throw it away…throw it away…”

Mo Yunchu was stunned for a moment and saw tears streaming out of Tang Ning’s eyes, his whole face wet from crying: “Throw it away! Throw it away quickly!!!”

Mo Yunchu immediately threw the doll out the door, then closed the door and raised his hands to show that he was not holding anything. He gently and slowly approached Tang Ning, as if comforting a frightened little animal, “I throwed it away, all of it, don’t cry.”

Tang Ning kept crying, his tears and broken beads kept falling, and he didn’t notice Mo Yunchu getting closer. When he realized what he was doing, Mo Yunchu had already moved forward to kiss his teardrops. Tang Ning couldn’t help but tremble when he saw Mo Yunchu’s face. His dark eyes showed unconcealable fear. He sobbed and said incoherently: “No…. don’t, go aw—”

His broad palm pressed down on the back of Tang Ning’s head, and his thin lips blocked Tang Ning’s trembling lips, preventing Tang Ning from speaking the next words.

His tearful eyes were like fragile jewels under the light. The great fear made Tang Ning forget to breathe. As the kiss continued to deepen, the oxygen he needed to survive seemed to be robbed away. Tang Ning could not even stand on his own and could only cling to Mo Yunchu. The weight of his whole body was pressed against this man, like a dodder wrapped around a towering tree.

How strange.

Tears fell from the sickly red skin, and Tang Ning’s raised neck showed a graceful arc.

It’s really strange. It was Mo Yunchu who saved him and gave him so much warm love, but he had a sense of absurdity that he would drown in this love.

The overwhelming and meticulous love was like a constantly rotating whirlpool, sucking his timid and hesitant soul into a bizarre world.

I don’t know how long it took before Mo Yunchu ended the deep kiss. He looked at Tang Ning with his deep phoenix eyes and promised word by word: “I won’t leave.”

He seemed to have interpreted Tang Ning’s “No, don’t go” as “I don’t want you to go.”

Tang Ning’s explanation at this time was meaningless, and he didn’t have the strength to explain anymore. This fright consumed too much of his energy. He opened his lips to greedily take in the fresh air, and his hazy eyes gradually regained their clarity. However, when he came back to his senses, he was still at a loss.

Mo Yunchu held his waist, led Tang Ning to the birthday cake, and whispered softly into Tang Ning’s ear: “Come on, Xiao Ning, you can make a wish.”

Such a low, gentle, and magnetic voice made Tang Ning so scared that he wanted to run away, but he couldn’t help but cling to him and follow him.

—”If my wish can come true, I hope to leave this nightmare and never come back.”

Mo Yunchu hugged Tang Ning, pressing Tang Ning’s back against his solid chest, trapping Tang Ning’s body in this warm embrace, “Okay, you can blow out the candles now.”

Tang Ning subconsciously blew out all the candles with a trembling voice.

Mo Yunchu picked up the long serrated knife beside the cake. He handed the handle of the knife to Tang Ning’s hand. His broad palm wrapped around Tang Ning’s hand, and he controlled Tang Ning to cut into the red velvet cake, which was as bright as blood.

“Here, have a taste.” Mo Yunchu took a piece and fed it to Tang Ning’s mouth. Tang Ning opened his mouth, and the light and smooth taste like velvet swept over his taste buds. The sweet but not greasy, salty but not salty taste soothed his heart bit by bit.

“Is it delicious?” Mo Yunchu looked at him fondly.

Although Tang Ning was so frightened that he lost all her strength, he had to admit that the cake was really delicious. As an artist^[1], he was strictly supervised on his diet and had not eaten a cake with explosive calories this year.

Mo Yunchu fed Tang Ning another big bite of the cake.

Tang Ning shuddered and ate it, his gleaming eyes filled with fear and desire, like a small animal that had fallen into a trap, trembling while not forgetting to eat the bait.

“Do you like it?” Mo Yunchu asked.

Tang Ning nodded tremblingly, his delicate chin was stained with tears, and his lips were stained with a bit of snow-white cream, making him look sweet and pitiful.

Pressing the rough fingertips on the soft lips, Mo Yunchu wiped away the cream on Tang Ning’s lips. He put the finger dipped in cream into his mouth, “It’s so sweet.”

“I’ll continue to make cakes for Xiao Ning next time, okay?”

After Tang Ning ate so much cake, he finally had the strength to speak, “Okay… but don’t give me a doll next time. I don’t like it.”

“I’m sorry, it was my lack of consideration.” Mo Yunchu apologized immediately.

Tangning took another bite of the cake. Soothed by the sweets, he was no longer as scared as before. There was indeed a secret hidden in the basement, but this secret was a birthday gift that he had never thought of. The fear of the unknown lost its power the moment the mystery was unveiled—
Yes, he should be brave and not be afraid of the basement, not the doll, and not be afraid of Mo Yunchu.

Tang Ning looked at the handsome and affectionate Mo Yunchu, and invited in a soft voice: “The cake is really delicious. Come and eat it too.”

Mo Yunchu’s Adam’s apple slid up and down, and his eyes fell on Tang Ning’s lips.

The two of them ate for a while, and then Mo Yunchu brought the cake to the living room.

This birthday was carefully arranged by Mo Yunchu. He took a day off from work with the director, personally made the birthday cake and designed the “surprise” in the basement. In the past, “Tang Ning” liked this kind of exciting supernatural-related things, but now Tang Ning likes red velvet cake very much. He likes it so much that he overeats it accidentally.

Under the warm light, Tang Ning sank into the soft sofa. Mo Yunchu reached out and gently rubbed his bulging belly. Maybe it was the light that was too gentle, or maybe it was Mo Yunchu’s affectionate and restrained eyes. Tang Ning felt that Mo Yunchu was really a very good person. The abnormal behavior in the surveillance must be some kind of misunderstanding, just like in the basement. Just ask. After all, if he didn’t ask clearly, Tang Ning might not be able to sleep at all today.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning summoned up the courage to ask softly: “You say… under what circumstances would a person stay up at night and stare at the face of the person next to him?”

After hearing this, Mo Yunchu thought for a moment and said seriously: “There are two situations. One is that the person next to you is so beautiful that after one glance, you want to take another look. You can’t get enough of it.”

“What about the other one?” Tang Ning asked cautiously.

“That man is a psychopath.”

The breeze in the air seemed to have stopped flowing.

Looking at Tang Ning with deep eyes, Mo Yunchu smiled and said, “When did Xiao Ning notice that I was staring at you?”

That handsome face maintained a perfect smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, like an evil ghost in human skin.

Tang Ning’s mind went blank.

He watched Mo Yunchu’s smile gradually widen, and the smile penetrated into his eyes. His eyes were a little helplessness and novelty, as if he was curious about his timidity, “Are you scared by my expression?”

Tang Ning stared at Mo Yunchu blankly.

“You little idiot, the role I recently accepted was that of a psychopath.” Mo Yunchu scratched Tang Ning’s nose, “I am an immersion type, and my normal life is somewhat affected by this role. I thought you wouldn’t notice.”

“After all, you sleep so deeply every day, like a pig.” Mo Yunchu rubbed Tang Ning’s fluffy hair, “How did you find out? Are you pretending to be asleep?”

Tang Ning didn’t dare to say that he had installed surveillance cameras, so he could only go down the steps given by Mo Yunchu.

Mo Yunchu pinched Tang Ning’s cheek and said, “Our Xiao Ning is so good now that he even fooled me by pretending to be asleep.”

Tang Ning never expected this to be the reason. He asked for Mo Yunchu’s script, and sure enough he saw the character’s perverted setting, including the strange behavior of sniffing his partner’s clothes, which also matched Mo Yunchu’s abnormal behavior during surveillance.

So that’s what happened.

Great, so that’s it.

Now that the truth was revealed, the big stone in Tang Ning’s heart finally fell to the ground. His thoughts were so easy to guess, it was all displayed on his face, and he could understand it at a glance.

“Are you still afraid of me now?” Mo Yunchu asked Tang Ning with a smile.

Tang Ning shook his head obediently.

His thin lips came close to Tang Ning’s ear, and his voice was hoarse and gentle, mixed with a hint of unspeakable lust, “Then how about letting your husband eat until full tonight?”
