Chapter 1893: Living with Mr. Ghost: Some Things 09

Jin Chen was furious; Xiao Mi Feng, who was usually so punctual, had actually forgotten the time to go home. He must have been held up by something again.

Three minutes later.

Unable to refuse the colleagues' invitation, Xia Tan sat in the car, preparing to head to the hot pot restaurant with them for a meal.

The Bell Signal of the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number; Xia Tan, unsuspecting, instinctively answered.

"Hello..."

Xia Tan's voice suddenly got stuck in his throat.

"Xiao Mi Feng, when are you planning to come back?"

Gui Dage!

What a ghostly call!

Xia Tan hastily shifted his body toward the window, but his lowered voice could not hide his surprise and inexplicable guilt.

"I… I'll come back later, okay?"

"No."

Jin Chen coldly pulled out the thorn from the cactus potted plant; it corroded to ashes in his palm.

"You have ten minutes to go home, or else don't even think about sleeping tonight."

Xia Tan: "……"

Sniff.

I want to eat hot pot.

"I heard." Xia Tan said, feeling wronged.

After hanging up, Xia Tan dejectedly picked at his fingertips, suddenly thinking of a good idea.

Invite the colleagues to have a meal together at home.

Gui Dage, with others around, ought to behave himself.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed; Xia Tan turned and went to persuade Lian Min.

——

Thus, what Jin Chen was waiting for wasn't Xiao Mi Feng, but a crowd of people.

Jin Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, a cold look on his face as he watched several strangers enter, his gloomy gaze fixed on Xia Tan, who was looking left and right.

Xiao Mi Feng really has guts.

"Oh my, Xiao Xia, this place is really big!" Pang Ge exclaimed with feeling, "Just looking at it, one can tell the quality of life is good."

Xia Tan forced a smile, thinking that he had thought the same thing on the day he first moved in.

Apart from having to live with a ghost, everything else is actually quite nice.

Shao Dong also exclaimed in amazement, taking the can of cola Xia Tan handed over, and said with feeling: "Our news agency's salary of three melons and two dates can't afford the rent here, Xiao Xia—when did you get rich?"

Xia Tan: "... No, I just happened to pick up a bargain."

As a friend, Lian Min had of course also heard Xia Tan talk about the problems here, and followed suit by changing the subject.

Gui Dage didn't come out to cause trouble.

Xia Tan let out a deep breath, his mood relaxing considerably: "Then I'll have Xiao Min first put the vegetables in the kitchen to prepare; we'll be able to eat hot pot soon."

"Okay, okay, I'll help too."

Pang Ge rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Shao Dong continued to size up the spacious flat, wondering what he was thinking.

The kitchen didn't need so many hands; Xia Tan slipped away to the bathroom for a moment, but as soon as he entered, he heard the door click and lock from the outside.

Hearing the sound, Xia Tan's breath tightened; he instinctively looked around and, in the mirror, saw a tall, blurry human-shaped shadow standing behind him, which then lunged forward.

"You've got guts."

Jin Chen's voice was extremely low and extremely dangerous, precisely transmitted to Xia Tan's ears, forcing him to instinctively dodge forward, but the next instant he was pressed from behind against the sink.

"... What are you doing! There are other people in the house!"

Xia Tan was forced to bend over and press against the counter, speaking extremely fast and pleading: "I'm just hanging out with friends; they'll leave after dinner……"

"You… can you let me go, please?"

"I can't hold it much longer! I need to use the toilet!"

Xia Tan's voice sounded a bit choked with urgency.

Jin Chen's eyebrows rose wickedly as he reached from behind to scratch Xia Tan's chin: "You remembered you need to go to the bathroom?"

Xia Tan quickly nodded, then a second later let out a muffled groan, his back pressed down further, seemingly unable to bear it as he clenched his lips tightly.

Jin Chen's icy palm slipped under his shirt, lightly tapping his abdomen, and with malicious intent he lowered his head to nibble Xia Tan's ear, gently blowing air into it.

"Begging won't help; you're a bad human who breaks the agreement."

"No……"

Xia Tan's eyes reddened; his whole body was so embarrassed it almost shut down, his pleas reduced to short sounds, and when the cold kiss landed on his neck, the strange sensation made him have to suppress even his sobs.

The chilling aura spread like a big net, enveloping Xia Tan, making escape useless.

The kisses moved from his cheek to his collarbone, with Jin Chen always pressing against Xia Tan's back, giving him no breathing space, leaving a string of ambiguous marks; Xia Tan's thin summer shirt could not cover them at all.

All of Xia Tan's senses were occupied by the imminent breaking point of tension; he didn't notice tears spilling uncontrollably, his whole body nearly collapsing in front of the sink.

"Next time, don't break the agreement, okay?"

Jin Chen brushed away the tear at the corner of his eye, forcing Xia Tan to lift his head to look at the mirror; the vague ghostly shadow covered and embraced him entirely, Xia Tan's whole body still trembling slightly, his face flushed red.

"Good……good…"

"Truly obedient."

Jin Chen satisfiedly kissed his lips, then pushed Xia Tan into the toilet behind the glass door.

Xia Tan could hardly stand, leaning against the wall; hearing the departing voice, she felt relieved, yet embarrassed and wronged she sniffled, more ashamed of the pleasure easily aroused in herself, her lips almost bitten through.

How could this ghost become so bad!

【Detected Villain Blackening Value +2, total 47!】

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 10!】

Jin Chen happily sat back on the sofa, his hostility toward these colleagues greatly lessened, and he generously opened the snack cabinet.

Lian Min, who was looking for a movie, turned his head in fright, poked Shao Dong, and said, "Was that drawer… open just now?"

Shao Dong didn't pay much attention, "Right, otherwise who opened it?"

Jin Chen shrugged, found an empty little sofa nook and curled up.
