Chapter 3 – That was, if ghosts have teeth (3)

The day she had transmigrated, Yu Duo was scared shitless by Fu Sinian.

There were screams of terror coming from the dark basement; there were blood stains in the hallway. Was that what you’d expect to see in a normal household?

She felt like she was treading on thin ice every day in the past three years that she spent with Fu Sinian. She had always worried that one of these days she’d inadvertently offend him and be dragged into that basement of his.

But, luckily, just like the script had it, Fu Sinian died in an explosion on a yacht and there was nothing left of him.

It was finally all over.

She no longer need to fear for her life every single minute, nor did she need to pretend to be a dodder flower under Fu Sinian’s control.

Yu Duo had finally made it. She was so happy she wanted to sing out loud.

“The sun in the sky is red… yiya yizhi youwei yaer yazhi youa… the masses had stood up to be the owners… yiya yizhi youwei yaer yazhi youa… the masses had stood up to be the owners… “ *

Even Fu Sinian, standing next to the tub…. No, one should say even the ghost of the once Fu Sinian, couldn’t stand her horrible singing. He looked at her toes sticking out of the water swaying from side to side in sync with the rhythm of the song.

Three years they had been married and he didn’t even know that his wife would sing this kind of songs.

A month ago, Fu Sinian was having a business negotiation on a yacht, perhaps it was a plan that had been in the works for a long time but he lost consciousness in an explosion. When he came to, he was already at his own funeral.

His current state was a bit interesting. He could see others, but he couldn’t touch anyone. Nobody could see or touch him.

He was what the general public would refer to as a “ghost”.

Except that Fu Sinian was a cultured and well educated person, and an atheist to top. He didn’t fall into this “general public” category. But now that it had become an undeniable truth, he must accept the fact that he was now officially a ghost.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was that the same woman who cried till she had passed out a few times during his funeral service, the one who acted like her world had ended after his death, the one who was so depressed, who hadn’t eaten for days…. Her skin was so good now they were of a rosy tone, she was so well-spirited that she wanted to sing loudly. She was resting comfortably in the bathtub while applying a facial mask, drinking red wine, and having the time of her life.

She seemed so happy. She didn’t look a bit sad like she did in the day time.

Fu Sinian frowned. In his memory, Yu Dao had always tried to do everything to appease him and always worried that she’d anger him. She had always been a scaredy-cat. The way she looked now, she looked nothing like a cat, but more like a cunning fox. A fox that finally showed its tail after his death!

Fu Sinian approached her and Su Duo shivered again, feeling an inexplicable chill. She downed the hard liquor in her hand and almost spit it all back out. It was bitter and pungent and she almost choked on it!

She grumbled, “This is terrible. Why did Fu Sinian like it so much?”

Having said that, she got up and rinsed off the bubbles from her body.

Right after she was done, she heard Aunt Lian** knocking on the door, “Madam, you hadn’t eaten much tonight. I made some snacks, you should have at least a little bit. This is not good for your health!”

Yu Duo tiptoed to the door and, pinching her nose, said in a deep voice to the aunty outside, “Aunty Lian, I am not hungry, just a bit tired, I just…. I just want to get some rest. You should go get some rest too.”

Her voice sounded like she was choking back tears. Her tone perfectly conveyed that of a woman completely heart-broken from the recent loss of her husband.

Fu Sinian took advantage of his current state and walked through the wall.

Aunty Lian, with a tray of food in her hand, sighed and even her eyes reddened. She choked back her tears and said, “Alright then. You get some rest, Madam.”

Fu Sinian watched Aunty Lien walked away slowly and he looked back at Yu Duo inside the bedroom, he gritted his teeth so hard that they all cracked.

That was, if ghosts have teeth.
