Chapter 76 - Ghost’s Bride (12)

With a graceful gesture, the handsome man moved his fingers down and slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Under the open shirt, a beautiful chest and waistline that looked both sexy and charming was exposed.

He had a faint smile on his lips as he looked down at Cheng Zhi Chu. His black hair hung down and his eyes were both deep and passionate. Taking off the shirt, he grabbed Cheng Zhi Chu’s fingers and pressed it on to his chest. He then spoke with a low voice.

“Can you feel it?”

What came into contact with the fingers was warm skin. It was no longer cold like it was earlier and he could even feel a faint heartbeat. It was so real and lively, it was just like those of a living person. Cheng Zhi Chu was shocked. He almost couldn’t distinguish between this man and Bai Yi.

How……

“Winter Branch” clearly is a ghost. He also was cold to the touch earlier. Why does he now have a body temperature like a living human?

Cheng Zhi Chu felt his scalp go numb. The more this man is like a living human, the more terrified he was.

But he had to admit that this fear was also mixed with some other emotions. His mind couldn’t help but be attracted to this man.

……. It’s just too alike. If he didn’t know where Bai Yi was, he would have really thought that “Winter Branch” was Bai Yi.

Could “Winter Branch” have read through his memory, found out that he likes Bai Yi and deliberately took on the appearance of Bai Yi?

【You don’t need to worry about who he is. ]

The systems voice suddenly sounded. Its tone sounded like it was speaking through gritted teeth.

【Now that he has taken his true form, you can kiss him, and the ability will take effect. I have had enough of him! He just tried to kick me out again! I want him to have a taste of being imprisoned inside the photobook…….! Hurry and kiss him!]

He naturally wanted to do that, but he couldn’t move…..

Although Cheng Zhi Chu is happy to be able to use his ability, he found himself caught inside a dream-like state. He couldn’t exert any energy and he couldn’t even move a finger of his. He was unable to use the coin in his hand or let out a sound to ask “Winter Branch” to kiss him.

The man held his finger and gently kissed it. He then leaned down and gently held him in his arms while stroking his back and hair and kissing his cheek. The eyes looking at him were extremely warm. It was as if he wanted to melt the figure reflected in his eyes. Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyelashes trembled, and he closed his eyes silently rejecting his kiss.

But even if he knew that the man before him was not Bai Yi and he tried to resist it, he couldn’t help but feel himself instinctively wavering.

This was particularly the case when their skins touched. His breathing became hurried, his cheeks were flushed, and his forehead became sweaty. He was clearly feeling embarrassed.

“Zhi Chu……….”

The man registered his reaction in his eyes and his eyes darkened in response. Whispering his name with a voice filled with desires, his fingers slipped in between Cheng Zhi Chu’s fingers forming an interlocked handhold. Gently massaging his skin, he spoke with a hoarse voice.

“I love you.”

“Accept me.”

“Clang———–”

At this moment, the coin fell from Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand. It rolled a few times on the ground before finally revealing the clown’s face.

The man pressed both of Cheng Zhi Chu’s hands above his head and started to kiss him deeply.

Cheng Zhi Chu subconsciously opened his eyes and saw a magnified view of the handsome face before his eyes. It was then followed by a soft touch coming from his lips. A flexible tongue easily invaded into his mouth, entangling with the tongue inside.

Finally, he managed to kiss “Winter Branch”……..

Cheng Zhi Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His body couldn’t move, and he could only passively bear with the kiss. The man’s hot breath blew onto his face and he was engulfed with a presence similar to Bai Yi’s that couldn’t help but make him waver. Although he felt a little shameful, he felt sweet and found himself immersed in the kiss.

At this moment he suddenly heard someone shouting his name. It seemed to be coming from far away. He tried to distinguish it through his confused state and suddenly sobered up ——– That was the groom’s voice.

He couldn’t look up through the mirror, so he didn’t see the bear leading the groom in through the manhole.

As soon as the corpses outside ventured near the manhole, they became afraid and didn’t dare to enter. The groom’s movements also stalled for a moment. Although he also felt uncomfortable, in order to find Cheng Zhi Chu, he decisively jumped in.

The darkness had no effect on the groom’s vision. He carefully assessed his surroundings ——— Although he didn’t have his head, he still retained his five senses. It was as if he had an invisible head above his neck.

The bear tracked Cheng Zhi Chu’s scent and moved over to the broken mirror. It leaned against the mirror and smelt it carefully. Using a childish voice is said: “Mummy’s scent disappeared here………”

The groom walked over to the mirror and used his hand to touch the broken mirror. He saw a layer of ripple form on the mirror.

“Zhi Chu?”

He called out Cheng Zhi Chu’s name.

It’s the groom!

Separated by a mirror, Cheng Zhi Chu was being kissed by a handsome man. He instantly opened his eyes, attracting the man’s attention.

“…………..”

He slowly straightened his upper body. Rubbing his finger over Cheng Zhi Chu’s wet lips, he saw the changes in Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes. His eyes darkened and he whispered:

“Why are you always thinking about him?

However, he very quickly restored his expression back to a smile. He held Cheng Zhi Chu up and made him lean against him. With him in his arms, he gently stroked his soft hair. With a smile he said:

“Then we should let him see us kiss? Maybe he will understand how much you like kissing me.”

No——-!

Cheng Zhi Chu panicked. He could still vividly recall the instance rules. He couldn’t let the groom see him kissing “Winter Branch”. If he saw it, he didn’t know what the groom would do!

Dammit. Why hasn’t his ability taken effect yet? Why does it always delay when it is at its most critical moment?!!

Noticing his panic and thinking that it was because he had feelings for the groom, the mans smile faded a little. With bad intentions, he deliberately turned Cheng Zhi Chu’s face over to let him personally look out through the mirrors entrance.

Pale fingers slowly entered the mirror. The petite little bear couldn’t wait any longer and had already gone through. Immediately, it saw Cheng Zhi Chu being embraced and kissed and its body instantly stiffened as it let out a small cry.

“What’s wrong? Scared?”

As the lips and tongues intertwined, “Winter Branch”’s tongue moved across Cheng Zhi Chu’s lips. He stroked his stiff back and smiled while saying in a small voice:

“Don’t be scared. I just want to let him know who you actually belong to.”

“You can only be mine Zhi Chu.”

“Whether it’s him or the other Bai Yi’s, all——-”

The other Bai Yi’s?

Cheng Zhi Chu’s heart jumped. He suddenly felt uneasy.

Earlier “Winter Branch” claimed that he is Bai Yi and he had only thought that the other party was only saying it to trick him but, now that he heard him mumbling that line, he couldn’t help but feel that he wasn’t lying. He didn’t seem to be talking to him and was instead talking to himself.

What does this mean? No, he mustn’t be fooled. It must be “Winter Branch” deliberately putting on an act. He shouldn’t believe in this guy’s nonsense.

Even if he tried to convince himself this, Cheng Zhi Chu still felt doubtful inside. Instead, he wavered even more. At this moment, the groom’s hand had already completely passed through the mirror and had even put a leg through. His upper body was soon about to follow in a well.

Cheng Zhi Chu saw this and didn’t have any time to think. His eyes were fixated on the mirror and he was extremely nervous. The coin lying next to his hand rolled over itself and once again revealed the clown’s side.

The force that restrained Cheng Zhi Chu’s movements instantly vanished.

The moment the groom’s body began to completely enter the mirror, the man embracing Cheng Zhi Chu began to disintegrate.

“Winter Branch” widened his eyes and had a faint look of shock on his face but, before he was able to make a sound, his body had completely scattered into numerous light particles. The powerless Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t have enough time to support himself and could only collapse pathetically onto the ground.

You are really the unluckiest human I have ever met.

The coin sighed.

As long as the time is up, all the good fortune in you would disappear…….And you even need me to take the initiative to help you.

【You have successfully collected “Winter Branch”’s photo.]

As soon as the groom entered, he saw numerous light particles floating in the air, but he didn’t pay attention to them. Instead, he quickly walked over to Cheng Zhi Chu who didn’t appear to be in a good state, held him in his arms and asked anxiously: “Zhi Chu, are you okay?”

“I……….” Cheng Zhi Chu’s finally felt a little more at ease. He had slowly recovered his voice, but his body was still very weak. He could only weakly shake his head and say hoarsely, “I’m okay.

The groom touched his sweaty face. He noticed that Cheng Zhi Chu’s wedding dress had been torn and even the veil had fallen leaving his hair in a messy state. His arms suddenly tightened, and his hands stiffened. With his fingers slightly trembling, he asked oppressively:

“Who did this?”

“Was it the ghost from earlier that was bothering you through text messages?”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s waist was held onto extremely tightly by the groom’s arm. It was so painful, he couldn’t breathe. His eyes teared up and he shook his head in fear. While he thought about how he should explain himself, he heard the bear speak up.

“That’s right daddy. It’s that big bad guy! I saw it earlier. He was doing bad things to mummy. and mummy was desperately fighting back saying that he only loves you. It made the baddy angry and, when he was about to hurt mummy, daddy entered, and the baddy ran off immediately!”

“…………Is that so?”

The groom’s movements stopped. His arms instantly loosened and he muttered in disbelief: “Zhi Chu, you said you only love me…….Is this really the case?”

“………” Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t dare deny it, but he also didn’t want to admit to it. His expression was a little stiff.

“You overheard it?”

Thinking that he was embarrassed, the groom didn’t force him to answer. He just asked the coin on the ground and, after somehow communicating with each other, the groom immediately picked Cheng Zhi Chu up and spun him around a few times. With joy he exclaimed:

“I also love you Zhi Chu. I just can’t wait until we hold our wedding!”

“Phew………”

The bear breathed a sigh of relief. With a ‘patter’, it walked over to the coin and picked the coin up. With a small voice, it whispered:

“You’re not bad like this.”

“…………” The coin didn’t say anything.

“But you have to remember, mummy loves daddy the most. After that it’s me. You are after me, so I am your boss. Understand?” The bear poked at the coin with its soft paw.

“……….”

The coin fell silent for a few seconds. It then jumped off the bears paw on its own, rolled around a few times and then revealed the devil’s face.

“Swooosh————-”

A bucket of water suddenly fell onto the bear, instantly soaking through it completely.

“I will eat you!!!”

The bear had absorbed enough water to make it nice and round. It opened its mouth that was filled with fangs and bared them angrily. With a “clack”, it bit onto the coin and they started a desperate struggle.

Cheng Zhi Chu was spun around a few times by the groom and his hands couldn’t do anything but be used to press down the rest of his skirt——-Although as a man it was okay for him to walk around naked, he still didn’t want to be exposed like this!

While he was getting dizzy from all the spinning, the groom finally stopped and placed him back down. Supporting his shoulders, he spoke very happily: “Let’s go find my head. As long as I can find my head, we can get married.”

“Okay………………………..” Cheng Zhi Chu licked his mouth. He couldn’t help but do so to endure discomfort inside him.

“I smell something bad……….”

The bear made a spitting gesture and spat out the saliva coated silver coin. Shaking off the water on its body, it twitched its nose and appeared to be discerning the direction the smell was coming from: “There’s also the smell of blood…….But there’s nothing outside. There must be something in here.”

There’s a smell in this mirror world? Did Mr. Mu hide the heads in the mirror?

Cheng Zhi Chu was stunned. He had originally thought that the mirror world was something that “Winter Branch” had activated but now it seems like it was probably activated by Mr. Mu. He didn’t hide the heads in the underground labyrinth and had instead carefully hidden it inside this strange mirror.

Should he have thanked “Winter Branch” for bringing him in?

No…….

With a strange expression he shook his head and waved off that thought.

The coin lying on the ground stood up, shook off the saliva on it and started to roll towards a certain direction.

The bear followed the source of the smell and also moved in the same direction down a long and dark tunnel. Seeing the coin following it, it angrily kicked the coin away: “Don’t follow me!”

The coin fell to the ground and revealed the devil’s face. In less than a few seconds, the bear was crushed by several bricks. Once again, it started to fight with the coin.

Cheng Zhi Chu cleared his throat and quickly stopped the two of them. He warned them to get along well and lead the way together ——– Mainly because one was soaked in water and the other was covered in saliva and he didn’t want to pick them up.

When the coin and the bear heard his request, they could only quiet down and lead the way. Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand was held by the groom as they followed behind them. In his mind, he couldn’t help but think back to “Winter Branch”’s words from before.

Other Bai Yi’s? What exactly does that mean…….

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 76)

No paper left. I need to change to another diary.

(A large proportion of the papers were torn off by Bai Yi. On them were his sketches of Zhi Chu.)
