Chapter 326: Side Story. Mumu X Xiang Yichu 4

Side Story. Mumu X Xiang Yichu 4

After fighting for about ten minutes, Xiang Yichu and the others walked over.

The ghostly spells set up by the surrounding male ghosts all dissipated.

Because Mumu hit too hard, the male ghost retracted all that bit of ghostly power to protect his face.

Mumu wanted to keep slapping, but her hand was grabbed.

From behind came Xiang Yichu's voice: "Your hand is red, stop hitting."

Mumu turned her head and glanced at him, then pulled back her hand, "Those souls are behind the liquor cabinet; one of them ate half of it, he deserves a beating!"

Xiang Yichu took out a talisman and collected them, saying, "He must have killed someone before this; going down, he can't escape the fate of the eighteen levels of hell."

Wang Dongqing and the two others exchanged a glance, then in unison stepped toward the back of the liquor cabinet to collect the souls.

Mumu puffed her cheeks, feeling her hand still numb; usually Xiang Yichu would have already rubbed her hand for her, so why hasn't he moved?

She turned her head and saw Xiang Yichu also looking down at her, his expression as if he wanted to say something but held back.

She hurriedly explained, "I could recognize him only because his abs are like yours, so I have a slight impression of him!"

Xiang Yichu originally wanted to ask her who she had seen in that illusionary ghost spell, but he was stunned for a while, never expecting her to say another man's abs resembled his.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You even noticed his abs?"

Mumu blinked, then waved her hands: "No, I like your abs, that's why I compared him to you; besides, his aren't as white as yours, nor pink, they're ugly—yours are the nice ones, really, I'm telling the truth, Xiang Bing Shan, believe me!"

Xiang Yichu blinked, his ears gradually heating up; he quickly coughed and covered her mouth, "Cough, don't talk about this outside."

Mumu tilted her head, "Why? I've seen it several times already, just never touched it—I don't know if the feel matches the sight; sigh, Xiang Bing Shan, when you have time let me touch it, online they say it's hard."

Xiang Yichu looked speechless; he knew she was deliberately changing the subject, but he was willing to go along with her.

Just as he hesitated whether to ask the thing he especially wanted to know, Wang Dongqing's soft voice came from the liquor cabinet side:

"Wow~ Is this something we can listen to for free? Hmm? Why aren't you continuing? I'm still waiting to hear—indeed, the ambiguous phase really gets people excited!"

Xiang Yichu, Mumu: "......"

In the end, Xiang Yichu still chose not to ask that question, because he both wanted to know and feared knowing.

Sometimes, liking someone is just this kind of torment.

On the way back, Xiang Yichu and Mumu didn't speak.

Xiang Yichu unconsciously frowned; even during their previous 'cold war,' Mumu had never been this quiet.

He unconsciously gripped the steering wheel, unconsciously wondering what could make her so absent-minded.

Little did he know, at this moment Mumu's CPU was about to burn out, her mind full of why the person she saw in the ghost spell was Xiang Yichu.

Could it be that she's taken care of me for too long, that I have a chick complex and see him as a dad?

But that doesn't seem right either.

Also, hearing Wang Dongqing say the three words 'ambiguous phase' just now, why did I feel my face heat up right away?

Something's off, this is really off!

After thinking for a long time and still not figuring it out, she couldn't bear the silent atmosphere, so she reached out to turn on the music and play it randomly.

The first song was 'Love, Exists.'

When the chorus kicked in, the line 'Your love given to me' turned into my dependence.

In an instant, Mumu stiffened.

She swiveled her head to look at Xiang Yichu, her big eyes staring wide and round.

She blurted out, "I'm going, no way!"

Hearing her words and seeing her overreaction, Xiang Yichu glanced at her, then turned his head back to the road ahead—he was still driving.

But that one glance revealed her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He frowned, steering the car to the side of the road and stopping.

After the car stopped, he hadn't even had a chance to speak when all he heard was a bang.

Mumu got out of the car and ran.

With astonishing speed, she vanished in a puff of smoke.

Xiang Yichu wore a face full of question marks, completely unaware of what had happened to her.

But she had run off, and he didn't know what she was doing.

He called her, but she didn't answer; only a message came through, saying she had something she couldn't figure out, to calm down, and let him go home first to cook, and she'd even ordered several dishes.

Xiang Yichu glanced at the spicy chicken on the list and let out a light laugh.

She even knows how to order dishes, so it's not a big deal.

He restarted the car and drove home.

Going home to cook for her, so she can eat as soon as she arrives.

Little did he know, Mumu was currently sprinting toward Prosperous Era Luxury Manor.

While running, she also called Tushan Jiu.

After the call connected, she shouted, "Sister Jiu! Help! I think I've fallen for Xiang Bing Shan, what do I do, what do I do, I'm gonna become lightning-struck wood, waa waa waa waa......"

Tushan Jiu: "......"

Just as Xiang Yichu had finished cooking, the door at home opened, and Mumu walked in from outside.

Their eyes met, and the air fell silent for two seconds.

Mumu spoke first: "Xiang Bing Shan, is the spicy chicken done?"

Xiang Yichu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded, "Extra spicy, go wash your hands, I'll serve you rice."

Mumu lowered her head to change her shoes, her tone as usual, with a hint of matter-of-factness, "I want a big bowl of rice!"

"Okay." Xiang Yichu turned and went to the kitchen to serve her rice.

During their meal, Mumu chatted on as usual, saying that with the change of season she needed to buy clothes, asking what new nail art designs were out, what new shades of lipstick brands had been released, and so on.

One spoke, the other responded, just like usual, yet not quite the same.

After finishing the meal, Mumu dashed upstairs to her own bedroom on the second floor.

With a bang, the bedroom door shut and she never came out again.

When Xiang Yichu went upstairs, he stood in the hallway for a while before turning back to his room.

The next morning, Mumu appeared in the dining room with dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiang Yichu frowned and asked her, "Did you stay up late binge-watching dramas again last night?"

Mumu listlessly nodded, leaning on the counter and watching him in an apron cook, "Yeah, I spent the whole night reading Strange Tales."

Xiang Yichu paused, turned to look at her, and said, "Strange Tales? What are you reading that for?"

Mumu scratched her head, "Online they say that if you want to learn how spirits and humans fall in love, you have to read Strange Tales—it's all about humans and demons in romance."

Upon hearing that, Xiang Yichu gripped his spoon tighter.

His Adam's apple bobbed a few times as he remained silent.

Mumu didn't hear his response, lifted her upper body from the counter, propped her chin on her hands, and asked:

"Xiang Bing Shan, why don't you ask why I want to learn how spirits and humans date?"
