Chapter 2: Women's ring

13.

I'm very depressed. Extremely depressed.

What wickedness could little ghost like me have? I just wanted to return and have a polite and friendly talk with my dog ex-boyfriend who was getting married on my touqi!  　　

This situation is extremely embarrassing.

I silently recited the core values ​​of socialism twice to calm myself down, and then tried to move my muscle less and nerveless arm.

"Creak—"

Damn, it actually moved!

I'd like to point out here that even skeletons follow their owners. Xiaobai had been put in various cool, handsome and arrogant poses since he arrived at my house. For example, he was just now striking an arrogant pose with his hands on his hips and laughing wildly. When I moved, one of his hands dropped off his waist and he struck a pose with one hand on his hips.

I was about to criticize this pose when I heard the study door click open.

I was so scared that my soul almost returned to the West again. 

Su Yu walked out of the room on his long, slender legs. His gaze roved around the living room, suspicious. Finally, on the second pass, he finally fixed his gaze on me and frowned even more.

This time, I was completely taken aback.

Was he fu*king the Sun Monkey in his previous life? Was he looking at my real self with his piercing vision? How did he catch me? From this pure white bone stretched taut???

Su Yu approached me step by step, my heart racing.

Just as I finished reciting the socialist core values for the third time and waited with bated breath, I saw Su Yu raise his hand in doubt and reposition the hand I had just moved back on my waist.

Me: ......

Shit, I totally forgot about that.

14.

Su Yu withdrew his hand and returned to his expressionless state. He didn't go anywhere, just stood there staring at the skeleton, thinking about something. He slowly raised his head after I had held my breath for three minutes due to nervousness. I'm not sure if he spoke to Xiaobai or to himself in a calm voice: "Don't fall again. If that fool sees you, he'll think you're no longer domineering enough."

He turned and left after speaking, leaving me with a cool and domineering back view.

Me: ...

You're the fool, your entire family are fools!

Also, my ex-boyfriend is really very attractive, tut tut.

15.

Today is the third day of my death. If the news from that imp was correct, there were still four days left for this b*stard's wedding.

But Su Yu's leisurely behavior didn't convey any sense of urgency at all.

I couldn't help but feel a bit bad for the bride-to-be.

Su Yu was reading in a chair on the balcony in the evening. The cover appeared to be a little quaint. It was most likely an old book he had picked up somewhere.

When I was still alive, it was the same. In the evenings, he'd played games and read books, and every now and then, we two would do some indescribable things together. The only difference today is that the windows are wide open, the book's pages are rustling in the breeze, and my skeleton self is swaying as well.

Su Yu, I believe, is gravely ill. His brain must have a large hole in it. Otherwise, why would he open the window to read a book on a cold winter night?

The wind was light and resounded strangely. I was cursing Su Yu in my heart while tremblingly chanting the core socialist values when I looked up and met a pair of eyes that were staring right at me.

I yelled in terror.

 A ghost, damn it!

16.

Yes, a ghost!

The imp grinned wide like a greedy exploiter, "New ghost, right? Tsk tsk, attached to a skeleton. How novel."

I turned my head reflexively to see Su Yu steadily reading the book, his jade-like slender fingers holding the pages.

The little ghost looked back at Su Yu and waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay; even if you yell at the sky, he won't be able to hear you. You are obviously a new ghost, zero experience."

I nodded, a little depressed.

I'm a ghost. Even if I tugged his ears and yelled "dog" incessantly, Su Yu wouldn't hear me. He wouldn't turn around and press me against the sofa as before, saying in a low and hoarse semi-threatening tone: "Looking for a beating, are we?" His voice would be husky, causing the hearts of anyone who heard it to tremble.

I had no intention of chatting with this little devil, so I glared at him.

Perhaps the thing I possessed was extremely unusual. Several groups of people floated in to visit that evening, only to be driven away by my resentful gaze. I was enraged and stared at the ghosts. Su Yu definitely had a problem with his brain. Didn't he know that the yin energy is heavy at night and all sorts of creatures prowl the night? Had this sicko opened the door in the middle of the night to welcome guests?!

17.

Su Yu always slept well, but despite the fact that it was past midnight, there was no sign of him falling asleep.

The yin energy is strongest between one and two o'clock at night. Su Yu finally got up, just as I was getting tired of glaring away the latest wave of little ghosts who had come to visit. I was relieved, and I was looking forward to him closing the window and going to bed. Instead, I saw this thing turn off the lights, then slowly walk to the window and light a cigarette.

...F*ck you! I can't wait to swing this valiant and formidable-looking skeleton's arms and smoke him.

18.

He was surrounded by countless ghosts that he couldn't see in the dark night. Behind him stood a hulking skeleton, staring at him. In the darkness, he appeared inexplicably lonely with the cigarette in his hand. Work stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com/p/homepage.html

Looking out into the dark and silent night, he spit out a smoke ring, his tone light, as he muttered to himself: "Now is the time when yin energy is at its peak."

The crowd of ghosts all nodded obediently.

I glared at his back. So you know it?!

Su Yu's voice was soft, as if he were speaking to himself yet dare not, "... Then when can you come home?"

19.

A swarm of ghosts turned to face me in unison.

I went completely still.

I used to believe that ghosts couldn't feel pain.

But it really... hurts.

20.

I'm aware that the dead are more at ease than the living.

Before I died, I could hold Su Yu's chin without shame and slyly chuckle, "Beauty, this sugar daddy will continue to keep you in the next life."

Su Yu had snorted with a complicated expression, "Are you sure you'll be able to afford it?"

He appeared so normal that I thought he could return to the company and work overtime after leaving the hospital.

But I still didn't dare to look at him the instant my soul left my body. I had no choice but to collapse and flee like a deserter.

I had a feeling I was going to crash.

I could run away, but Su Yu couldn't.

He had to see with his own eyes when my chest stopped rising and falling, hear the harsh sound when the ECG flat lined, watch my body harden little by little, and finally turn into a handful of dust in the fire.

Being alive can be far more torturous than death at times.

21.

Su Yu finally fell asleep as dawn approached.

The group of swaying ghosts also left, wiping away their tears, leaving behind the little ghost who had arrived first. He gave me a big grin and hovered around me, expressing curiosity and sympathy for my plight as a soul trapped inside a skeleton. He floated out to find a place to sleep after saying he would go ask for a solution for me.

I was in no mood to sleep. I swayed twice, jumped off the hook cautiously, adjusted to this new body, practiced walking silently, and then entered the bedroom lightly.

22.

I was head over heels in love with Su Yu back then. I was enthralled by him and his face was definitely deserved a lot of credit for it.

Even after we had slept together countless times, I would often watch him quietly after waking up, tracing his sleeping face with my eyes slowly. It never got old to me.

Su Yu's physical appearance matched his demeanor perfectly. They were both serene and icy. He was a man of few words who exuded an alienation that kept people at bay. But after spending more time with him, you could sense the nurturing silent tenderness hidden beneath his calm.

Sometimes it was a candy at breakfast, sometimes it was a chuckle when I realized his ruse yet played along, sometimes it was a silent kiss after a fight, and sometimes he just reached out and rubbed my head after scolding "Idiot."

It is really easy for this man to drive people crazy.

23.

I just sat beside his bed and watched him quietly for a long time.

Until he turned over and said vaguely in his dream, "Stop looking. Be good, go to sleep."

24.

I didn't want to leave. I averted my gaze and it landed on the bedside table, causing my nonexistent brow to frown immediately.

It was a delicate small square box.

When I opened it, I discovered a pair of rings.

The small one was both exquisite and petite. It was a ring for women.

26.

Damn you! Su Yu , you dog, laozi will f*cking beat you to death!!!!!

This ghost was so f*cking touched!!!!!

27.

Su Yu's sixth sense jolted him awake from in his sleep. Before he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw an angry and hideous skeleton raising a pillow as if it was about to blow up a bunker!

Of course, the words "angry" and "hideous" could not be seen directly with the naked eye on a skeleton, but were inferred from the skeleton's sheer momentum.

As calm and steady as Su Yu was, he was still shocked by this scene for a moment. Before he could even turn over and sit up, the pillow in the skeleton's hand smashed down with a thunderous and overwhelming force!
