FV CH 3

Ghost Baby

Chapter 3: “Where’s my goodnight kiss?”

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

Tang Ning suddenly opened his eyes, water splashing all around him, water drops sliding down his trembling eyelashes and dripping onto the steamy water surface, creating ripples. Looking around with panicked eyes, Tang Ning found that he was still in the bathtub. It turned out that the horror just now was just a nightmare.

Tang Ning, who was still in shock, looked around again and again. The walls were snow-white, the tiles were white, the glass door was covered with a layer of white mist, the aromatherapy exuded a gentle woody scent, and no matter how hard he looked, he could not see the bloody handprint.

His heart was beating hard, thump, thump, thump. The nightmare was too real. Tang Ning was frightened and felt weak. He wanted to stand up with his long legs, but for a moment he couldn’t even muster the strength.

He stood up with the help of the bathtub, a thin layer of mist covering his body, and a few strands of wet black hair stuck to his face. Tang Ning put on his bathrobe and picked up his phone to leave.

The moment he opened the door, his slippered feet seemed to touch something. It felt cold and soft, and his bud-like toes curled up slightly.

Tang Ning lowered his head and saw a legless rag doll rolling down to his feet, with eyes made of black buttons facing him.

The light red on Tang Ning’s face from the steam from the bath faded away completely in an instant, and his face was completely bloodless, like a piece of snow-white paper – it came.

The eyes made of black buttons stared straight at Tang Ning, as if they had turned into a dark abyss, wanting to swallow him up skin and bones.

The scene of being attacked in the bathroom kept flashing in his mind. Tang Ning’s thoughts seemed to have turned into a whirlpool, and everything around him became blurry, except for the nightmare-like fear that became clearer and clearer.

“Xiao Ning!”

“Xiao Ning, what’s wrong with you!” Mo Yunchu’s shouting made Tang Ning tremble all over, breaking out of his stiff state. He looked up blankly and saw Mo Yunchu, who was also wrapped in a bathrobe, standing in front of him.

A mist was rising from Mo Yunchu’s body, and water droplets were dripping on his wet hair. Mo Yunchu looked at him worriedly, “I was just taking a shower and heard you scream. Did you fall?” His warm hands wrapped around his shoulders, injecting a constant stream of life-giving heat into his body.

Mo Yunchu nervously asked, “Are you okay?”

Tang Ning’s vocal cords, which seemed to be frozen to the ground, were finally able to speak, “Ghost…”

[Warning, do not reveal information about ghosts to Mo Yunchu. Mo Yunchu has too much influence on the dungeon. Excessive requests for help from Mo Yunchu will be considered as cheating by abusing the cheat code. At that time, the system will flexibly increase the difficulty of the monsters to maintain balance.] The system said coldly.

“What?” Mo Yunchu stared at Tang Ning intently, as if he wanted to calm the anxiety in Tang Ning’s eyes in this way.

Tang Ning lowered his head and wanted to point out the rag doll on the ground to Mo Yunchu, but when he looked at the place just now, that place was empty, as if it was just his illusion.

No, how could this be an illusion?

He could feel the cold, soft, disgusting touch on his feet, which was left by the rag doll he kicked accidentally just now.

That thing must have hidden, must be hiding in a corner, who knows when it will come out again…

Tang Ning tried to grit his teeth and purse his lips tightly to hold back his tears, but tears still flowed from his wet black eyes. The big tears rolled down, Tang Ning’s eyelashes were stained with tears, and his nose was sickly red. He cried silently, and his whole body was shaking.

“Why are you crying?” Mo Yunchu hugged Tang Ning distressedly, “It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t cry, good boy…”

Tang Ning grabbed the corner of Mo Yunchu’s clothes tightly and buried his face in Mo Yunchu’s arms, like a frightened little animal that wanted to curl up into a ball, leaning pitifully in his owner’s arms.

“Mo Yunchu… No, don’t leave me, okay?”

He called out Mo Yunchu’s name over and over again. His voice was soaked in tears and softened like a pool of water.

Mo Yunchu’s heart seemed to have turned into a pool of water. He gently patted Tang Ning’s back and said to her in a low voice, “I won’t leave you.”

He said it so slowly and solemnly, as if he was swearing an oath.

Tang Ning cried for a long time in Mo Yunchu’s arms. It had been a long time since he had cried so shamefully. After venting his frightened emotions with tears, he belatedly blushed.

It was so embarrassing.

He had actually soaked Mo Yunchu’s entire shoulder with tears.

Tang Ning raised his head awkwardly, his ears were red, his long eyelashes were filled with tears, and he didn’t dare to look Mo Yunchu in the eye.

“Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?” Mo Yunchu used the back of his hand to test the temperature of Tang Ning’s forehead, and then put his forehead against his.

“I’m fine…” Tang Ning whispered.

“You don’t have a fever, but you look a little tired today. I’ll go get you a cup of milk.” Mo Yunchu said softly, “You’ll sleep well tonight.”

Tang Ning’s mouth was indeed a little dry, so he nodded.

Mo Yunchu turned around and prepared to leave. Tang Ning panicked when he saw Mo Yunchu was leaving. He quickly grabbed Mo Yunchu’s hand and said, “I’ll go with you!”

“Go back to your room and rest first. I’ll bring the milk to your bedroom later. Be good.” Mo Yunchu coaxed.

Tang Ning refused to let go. He didn’t want to be alone anymore. “No, let’s go together, okay?”

The corners of his eyes were still red from crying. He looked so helpless when he begged, as if he would cry again if he was rejected.

Mo Yunchu had no choice but to nod and agree.

The moment he agreed, Tang Ning’s eyes suddenly lit up. The bright black eyes were like a night washed by rain, dotted with bright stars. Such simple and clear emotions conveyed the message of the master to the person in front of him without reservation.

Mo Yunchu couldn’t help but touch Tang Ning’s head, “Xiao Ning is so well-behaved.”^[1]

He and Tang Ning heated up the milk together, or more precisely, Tang Ning watched Mo Yunchu heat up the milk, and then they returned to the bedroom together.

The bed in the bedroom was very large, and Tang Ning sat on the bed and sipped his milk. Halfway through, he saw Mo Yunchu unbuttoning his bathrobe.

Mo Yunchu had a great figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and an inverted triangle back. His skin was cold and white, and his muscle lines were like rolling snow-capped mountains, with a kind of cold and inviolable beauty.

If Tang Ning had seen such a perfect body through the screen, his eyes would have lingered for a while, and if he had seen it through a magazine, he would have chosen to buy it as a treasure.

However, the current situation was that a young man who was his boyfriend was standing in their shared bedroom, unbuttoning his bathrobe.

Tang Ning suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off, and he weakly called the system in his heart: [What is Mo Yunchu going to do?]

[You.]

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. When he realized what was happening, his delicate face turned red. He was so scared that he almost stuttered. [How can this be allowed?]

[Why not?]

[I, I, I mean, how can this game pass the review?]

The cold male voice was silent for a while, then instructed:
[You can break your character to some extent within the scope of Mo Yunchu’s approval, but completely refusing to fulfill your boyfriend’s obligations will definitely arouse Mo Yunchu’s suspicion. I suggest you not to go against Mo Yunchu’s wishes too much. Without Mo Yunchu’s help, it will be difficult for you to survive the night alone.]

“What are you thinking about?” Mo Yunchu walked in front of Tang Ning. He looked down at Tang Ning against the light. Under this light and shadow, his facial features were particularly deep, and his long eyelashes cast a small piece of thick shadow.

Tang Ning couldn’t help but have the illusion of being licked by the gaze of those black eyes. His toes curled up. Tang Ning didn’t know what to say. He wanted to take off his clothes according to the system, but facing such a Mo Yunchu, Tang Ning had a feeling that if he took off his clothes, he would not be let off easily.

So Tang Ning backed down and said awkwardly, “I’m very tired today. I want to go to sleep directly.”

As he said that, he lifted the quilt and planned to get into the bed to avoid danger.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yunchu suddenly leaned down and met Tang Ning’s eyes before his face was covered by the quilt. The distance between them was too close, and Tang Ning wanted to turn his head away. His slender and strong hand pressed against Tang Ning’s right cheek firmly on the headboard.

When the headboard made a dull “dong”, Tang Ning realized… he seemed to be pressed against the wall by Mo Yunchu.

In the artificially created small space, the oppression brought by Mo Yunchu’s deep eyebrows and high nose bridge was particularly strong.

Tang Ning realized belatedly that Mo Yunchu’s appearance was not as gentle as jade. On the contrary, he had an overly handsome aggressiveness. It was just that Mo Yunchu’s attitude towards him was always gentle and obedient, so he ignored the almost gentlemanly aggressiveness.

Tang Ning didn’t dare to look Mo Yunchu in the eye. He swallowed nervously and said softly, “What are you doing…”

Mo Yunchu moved closer and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against Tang Ning’s nose, which was the best way to describe the word “ear-to-ear contact”. His mellow and deep voice was as gentle as a cello. “Xiao Ning, did you forget something?”

Tang Ning blinked nervously.

“Where’s my goodnight kiss?” His dark eyes were filled with a hint of smile.
