Chapter 335 She's Actually Afraid of Ghosts
"I just want to hold you."
He rested his chin on her ear, his embrace so strong it felt like he wanted to embed her into his body.
She felt his body tremble slightly, like a lost child, exuding a sense of vulnerability and loneliness.
Ji Ran could no longer care about anything else; she tenderly raised her arm and stroked his back.
"If you're sad, just cry it all out."
The girl's soft, sweet voice made him burst into a helpless laugh.
The gloom that had been building up was instantly dispelled.
Seeing him smile, Ji Ran raised her head, her dark pupils meeting his eyes still shimmering with bloodshot light. Heartbroken, she reached out and gently touched his cold face.
"Let's go home."
He lowered his eyes and gazed at her, his gaze filled with unwavering affection, focusing on her reflection alone. Even though he was exhausted, he still smiled at her and nodded.
The girl then added out of the blue, "I'll let you hug me as much as you want when we get back."
The man tightened his grip on the girl, holding her even closer, and shook his head.
"I can never get enough of hugging her~"
Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the man's alluring appearance, she really wanted to kiss him right away.
But then she suddenly realized that this was a cemetery!
It's not really appropriate to show affection in public here...
"Brother Mu..."
Suddenly, another unfamiliar male voice came from behind.
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, completely unable to react to this unfamiliar address.
Qi Mu turned his head and saw that it was one of the 16 people. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Didn't they just leave?
But he still nodded in response, "Yes, Yan Chen."
He didn't notice at all that the girl in his arms was completely bewildered.
Wait... someone's talking to Qi Mu?!
You should know that people who can see Qi Mu usually have a relationship with you, and they must have absolute goodwill towards you.
Curious, she tilted her head and peeked out. She saw a young man standing behind a tombstone, wearing a clean white t-shirt. The sunlight shone down on him, making him seem to glow.
She was wondering why this person was standing on someone's grave; he was even less polite than she was.
As she scanned the screen, she happened to see the photo on the monument.
Damn! How come she looks exactly like this man?
Then I looked at the name below: He Yanchen.
Upon realizing what was happening, Ji Ran shuddered.
Oh my god!! A ghost!!
Feeling the girl in his arms suddenly tense up, Qi Mu looked down in confusion and saw that the girl's face was pale with fright.
I suddenly remembered that she was actually afraid of ghosts.
For a moment, I felt both sorry for her and amused.
Seeing this, He Yanchen scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.
"I'm...sorry, sister-in-law...I scared you."
But after apologizing, he felt depressed.
Brother Mu is a ghost too? And a powerful ghost many levels higher than me, so why is he only afraid of me?
Hearing the ghost seemingly speaking to him, Ji Ran turned his head again and secretly peeked at the ghost, only to see it looking at him with an apologetic expression.
What did he just call her?
sister in law??
A surge of excitement welled up inside her, but she was still afraid. She swallowed hard, shook her head, and indicated that she wasn't scared.
Qi Mu knew she was just forcibly suppressing her fear, and patted the back of her head tenderly.
"Don't be afraid, let's go home."
Ji Ran instinctively wanted to nod, but seeing that He Yanchen seemed to have something to say to Qi Mu, she held back.
"He...he seems to have something to say to you."
As she spoke, she slipped behind Qi Mu, making him turn around to face the other person.
Qi Mu tried to turn around and pull her closer, "I can take you home first..."
The girl clung tightly to the man's waist and back, harder to hold than a pig on New Year's Eve. She murmured...
"No need, no need..."
Actually, she was also curious and wanted to hear what they had to say, after all, these were ghosts who had known Qi Mu for much longer than she had.
Qi Mu was well aware of Ji Ran's little scheme. Considering that the girl herself lacked a sense of security, he abandoned his plan to take her home first.
He simply looked at He Yanchen and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Yanchen was still stunned by the interaction between the two.
No~
Brother Mu has become so gentle and patient. Is this still the same cold-faced devil from before?
Then look at the girl hiding behind him, only one eye peeking out as she stares at him.
No, he really wanted to look in the mirror and see what was so terrible about him.
However, this young sister-in-law, despite being so scared, was still willing to keep Brother Mu here to listen to her talk.
She's such a nice person.
"Um... Brother Mu, could I ask you for a favor?"
Qi Mu nodded. "Tell me, as long as I can do it."
He Yanchen had only just remembered this matter while on his way to reincarnation, so he made a special trip back.
"Brother Mu, I died just two years after I got married, right after my wife gave birth to our son. I haven't been able to go back to see them all these years. My son must be in his twenties now. I wonder how they are doing..."
Qi Mu's eyes darkened slightly. "Alright, I'll go and check on it for you."
"Thank you, Brother Mu! I..." A glint flashed in He Yanchen's eyes, but it dimmed again the next second.
"What else?" Qi Mu asked, seeing that he hadn't finished speaking.
He Yanchen shook his head.
Unexpectedly, the girl hiding behind Qi Mu spoke up weakly.
"Do you... have something you want to say to them?"
Upon hearing this, the last embers in He Yanchen's eyes were instantly rekindled, and he nodded to Ji Ran.
My sister-in-law is truly exceptionally intelligent!
Qi Mu immediately understood that since he was now a ghost, He Yanchen was unaware of his potential resurrection, so he couldn't relay a message to He Yanchen's wife and children on his behalf.
Ji Ran leaned halfway out and asked, "Then... tell me, and I'll pass it on for you?"
"Really...really, sister-in-law!" He Yanchen's mood brightened noticeably.
Ji Ran nodded. "Um...you...you've already called me sister-in-law, so don't be so polite."
Qi Mu couldn't help but smile.
Even He Yanchen was stunned by that smile.
Oh my god! Brother Mu is still so handsome~ Even as a ghost, he's still so handsome!
Even his sister-in-law was stunningly beautiful, as ethereal as a fairy.
God is really...
Never mind, I don't really favor Brother Mu that much.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" He Yanchen happily bowed to Ji Ran.
The other person's enthusiasm made Ji Ran blush and feel embarrassed. She took out her phone and opened the notes app.
"Then... what do you say? I'll write it down."
He Yanchen gave an address.
"Back then, I knew I was likely to die, so I exchanged the jade pendant I had worn since childhood, along with some savings I had accumulated in the army, for gold. I also wrote a letter to my wife and children, and buried them all under the orange tree in the old courtyard where I lived as a child, the place I just mentioned."
