FV CH 5

Ghost Baby

Chapter 5: Your ex-boyfriend.

Tang Ning looked at Mo Yunchu in bewilderment as he kissed the back of his foot. He seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening and was in a detached state.

His long but weak legs fell limply into Mo Yunchu’s hands. Although Mo Yunchu was kneeling, he looked like he was kneeling on the ground picking up snow-white flowers, trimming the branches into the shape he liked, and holding them in his hands to play with and admire them.

“Go wash up first.” Mo Yunchu raised his head, his tone was gentle and his attitude was natural, as if the kiss on Tang Ning’s foot was a normal and everyday routine.

Tang Ning suddenly felt that he was making a fuss over nothing, that he was a ‘single dog’^[1] who didn’t know the fun between couples.

When they got to the bathroom, Tang Ning specially poured a cup of mouthwash for Mo Yunchu, and then he started brushing his teeth.

His teeth were very white and beautifully shaped, like plump fruit pulps arranged evenly. White foam stained his pale pink lips, and his moist red tongue was faintly visible.

Tang Ning was brushing his teeth when he saw through the mirror that Mo Yunchu had been staring at him, watching him brush his teeth intently. The eyes behind the lenses were so focused that it seemed like he was reading some academic research.

Tang Ning paused and spit out the mouthwash.

Mo Yunchu turned around and picked up a face towel of suitable temperature. Without waiting for Tang Ning to refuse, he gently helped Tang Ning wipe his cheek.

The hot steam steamed Tang Ning’s face. Tang Ning whispered, “Mo Yunchu, please go out first.”

“Hmm?”

“I want to go to the bathroom.” Tang Ning continued to whisper, although he didn’t know why he had to lower his voice in front of Mo Yunchu to solve normal needs.

“What Xiao Ning said to me last night,” Mo Yunchu said with a little confusion, “made me think that Xiao Ning asked to be together all the time.”

Tang Ning instantly recalled what happened last night, and he was scared again.

[System, will the ghost baby appear during the day?]

[Normally not.]

Normally not, what if there is a special situation?

Tang Ning was timid to begin with. He was frightened three times in a row last night. He was now almost like a frightened bird. “Then…you stay with me.”

The phoenix eyes behind the glasses curved, “Okay.”

Tang Ning looked away awkwardly. Perhaps because he knew there was someone next to him, he couldn’t come out for a long time this time.

Seeing this bathroom, Tang Ning recalled the eerie bloody handprints on the wall last night. They were densely packed and overlapped, as if red paint was poured on them…

Mo Yunchu let out a low hiss in Tang Ning’s ear.

An indescribable feeling overwhelmed his brain. The water flowed on the surface of the water. Tang Ning’s thighs trembled with shame. His beautiful face was full of red mist. His eyes were filled with water and seemed to be about to cry. “You…you…”
He was tongue-tied and didn’t know what to say.

Mo Yunchu pinched Tang Ning’s jaw and kissed his trembling lips. He left immediately, but Tang Ning was completely stunned.

“Good morning kiss.” He smiled.

Tang Ning couldn’t smile at all.
He was so ashamed and angry that he could no longer get along with Mo Yunchu.

[System, is the only thing I can do in this copy to cling to Mo Yunchu’s thigh^[2]?]

[Lu Yingxing, “your” ex-boyfriend.]
The system said sparingly.

[Can he also scare away the ghost baby?]

The system ignored him.

Tang Ning trying to remember Lu Yingxing this name. At the dinner table, when Mo Yunchu proposed to take Tang Ning to the crew, Tang Ning refused Mo Yunchu.

“It’s not good for me to disturb your work. You go to the crew during the day, and remember to come back to accompany me at night.” Tang Ning acted like a considerate boyfriend.

The cold knife and fork cut the meat, and Mo Yunchu put the meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He looked at Tang Ning and praised, “Xiao Ning is so considerate.”

When leaving, Mo Yunchu put on a suit, and Tang Ning went to help him fix his tie. Before leaving, Mo Yunchu suddenly said, “Xiao Ning can go anywhere in this villa, but don’t go to the basement.”

Tang Ning was a little surprised, but nodded in agreement.

Mo Yunchu glanced at the time and said that it was almost too late, and then hurried away.

Tang Ning was the only one left in the villa, and perhaps there was a doll hiding in the dark.
This realization made Tang Ning feel uneasy.

Tang Ning turned on his phone and opened the call history, and found the name Lu Yingxing. Before clicking to call, Tang Ning asked the system: [Can I tell him about my encounter with a ghost?]

[Yes.]

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. A lazy male voice came from the phone: “Tang Ning, calling me so early in the morning, are you in the need of getting fucked?”

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, “Sorry.”

The person on the other end of the call seemed to turn over in bed and let out a clear laugh: “Wow, so polite, do you want to ask me something?”

“……Yeah.” Tang Ning covered the phone and looked around, whispering: “I think I encountered a ghost, can you come and help me check?”

Lu Yingxing asked casually: “Was it a pervert ghost?”

“I’m not kidding.” Tang Ning said seriously: “Can you come?”

“Hey, I’m a busy man, what should I do if I can’t come?” Lu Yingxing said.

Tang Ning said without hesitation, “Then I’ll go find Mo Yunchu.”

The person on the other end of the line cursed and said angrily, “Address!”

While waiting for Lu Yingxing to come, Tang Ning sat alone in front of the French window and searched for information about Mo Yunchu. His phone had undergone a replica transformation and could access the Internet in this world. Tang Ning saw a lot of information about Mo Yunchu.

What surprised him the most was Mo Yunchu’s honors. In the entertainment industry of this world, Mo Yunchu was a dark horse who suddenly emerged. He played the leading role in his first movie and won many awards at home and abroad. Since then, he has been making great strides. He has idol-like looks and powerful acting skills.

After many years of debut, Mo Yunchu has never had any negative news. Everyone who has worked with Mo Yunchu praises him.

Tang Ning’s acting skills are poor, but he has a natural admiration for powerful actors like Mo Yunchu, not to mention that Mo Yunchu’s acting talent is at the top of the entire entertainment industry.

For a moment, Tang Ning even regretted refusing to go to the crew with Mo Yunchu. He wanted to observe actors like Mo Yunchu up close.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The knocking sound coming from the French window drew Tang Ning’s attention back. Tang Ning looked up and saw a handsome boy with a sunny face smiling towards him, revealing his two fangs.

Lu Yingxing was carrying a bulging backpack and wearing sportswear, as if he could go hiking at any time. When Tang Ning opened the door for Lu Yingxing, Lu Yingxing quickly reached out and pinched Tang Ning’s face. He didn’t use any strength, and Tang Ning’s face still felt a little painful. He couldn’t help but stare at Lu Yingxing.

“Don’t look at me like that, you’re getting hard.” Lu Yingxing said shamelessly, “Okay, tell me about the ghost you encountered, and after you solve it, how about having a meal with me?”

Tang Ning felt that Lu Yingxing was not trustworthy at all, but the system said that he could find Lu Yingxing. Tang Ning hesitated for a moment and told Lu Yingxing all the strange things he encountered on the bus and in the villa.

While listening, Lu Yingxing took out a handful of chocolates from his backpack. He opened a piece and handed it to Tang Ning, “This brand is delicious, do you want to try it?”

Tang Ning felt that Lu Yingxing didn’t listen to him seriously at all. He pushed Lu Yingxing’s hand away with a bit of grievance.

Lu Yingxing’s hand was pushed away, but his head came up, like a clingy wolf dog, “You said that the ghost thing crawled on you. Your skin is so delicate and tender. If it really touched you, would it leave any marks?”

When taking a shower last night, Tang Ning did see the marks left by the ghost baby on his body, spots of red marks, some of which were red and blue.

He nodded to Lu Yingxing.

Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows, “Really? I don’t believe it, unless…”

“Let me see.”

Tang Ning stared at Lu Yingxing warily.

“Wow, what are you looking at? My request is reasonable. After all, what you said is too outrageous, baby.” Lu Yingxing said innocently.

Tang Ning thought about it and it was true. If it was before, if he heard someone say such a thing, his first reaction would also be disbelief.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning gritted his teeth and unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt. His skin was white, and leaving a mark on it would be extremely glaring. At this moment, what was exposed to Lu Yingxing’s vision was the mark that had not yet disappeared.

Lu Yingxing’s eyes darkened.

At first glance, it looked like an ambiguous mark left by someone picking it up, especially the half-covered clothes made people think about it. Lu Yingxing suddenly reached out to touch the soft red mark. In contrast, it was obvious that it was not the size of an adult’s fingerprint.

Before Tang Ning could react, he saw Lu Yingxing loosen his hand, close his eyes, open his mouth and swallow a piece of chocolate. His bony fingers tapped on the coffee table, “Do you remember the license plate number of the bus?”

Tang Ning shook his head blankly.

Lu Yingxing picked up his phone and called someone: “Well, something happened… Help me check the surveillance…”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yingxing looked at Tang Ning, “Do you mind if I install a camera here? I want to see if I can capture that ghost thing you mentioned.”

“Mo Yunchu will come back to stay here…” Tang Ning subconsciously thought of Mo Yunchu’s privacy.

“What are you worried about, Mo Yunchu?” Lu Yingxing crossed his legs: “I installed a camera look at you.”

Tang Ning thought for a moment, “Then you have to promise not to leak Mo Yunchu’s information.”

Lu Yingxing made a “yeah” gesture.

Tang Ning: “?”

Lu Yingxing said seriously: “You have to accompany me for two meals.”

Tang Ning: “…Okay.”

Lu Yingxing continued to take things out of his backpack. He took out two hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Tang Ning. Under Tang Ning’s confused gaze, Lu Yingxing smiled playfully: “Didn’t you say that ghost thing would lie on your pillow at night? Put the money under your pillow when you sleep. We have to use magic to defeat magic.”

[System, does this work?]

The system ignored Tang Ning.

Tang Ning took the two hundred yuan. He saw Lu Yingxing continue to take things out of his backpack. Then he took out a stack of talisman paper. “I got this stack of tattered paper from a guy who is said to be a master. I don’t know if it’s useful, but it’s better than hitting it with a scented candle.”

Tang Ning took the stack of talisman paper.

Lu Yingxing handed him a piece of chocolate. “It’s very sweet. Next time you get scared, eat it to calm down.”

This time, Tang Ning took the chocolate. He lowered his head and whispered, “Thank you.”

“Tang Ning, you’ve changed.” Lu Yingxing suddenly said seriously.

Tang Ning, who was holding the chocolate, didn’t know where his character broke down. He looked at Lu Yingxing in confusion and panic.

“In the past, you always said ‘thank you husband’ directly. Why did you skip the word ‘husband’ now?”

Tang Ning: “?”
