Chapter 1894

Xia Tan spent over ten minutes doing mental preparation before coming out of the bathroom, and he even deliberately changed into clothes that could hide the kiss marks.

Pang Ge gave the air of someone who's been there, patting his shoulder as he passed by, saying, "Listen to my advice, some hidden illnesses we need to get checked at a men's hospital."

Xia Tan: '…I don't have any hidden illness.'

Pang Ge: 'Then why did you take so long to come out?'

Xia Tan said nothing, just sniffled, and in his heart he added another demerit to the hateful Gui Dage.

Lecherous ghost, hooligan ghost, hateful ghost!

But thinking about today's encounter with a ghost, Xia Tan felt a little frightened, and also eager to tell Jin Chen about it.

This was still the most lively day in the living room since Xia Tan moved in, accompanied by an extremely spicy hot pot.

Xia Tan was so moved that hot tears filled his eyes; even Gui Dage occasionally snatching a bite beside him didn't matter, since anyway if thrown into the hot pot it could still be eaten as wheat gluten.

"So spicy."

Jin Chen reached for Xia Tan's drink, but in the next second Xia Tan, with quick eyes and hands, pressed it down and whispered, "If this cup flies up it'll scare them."

Jin Chen turned his hand to hold Xia Tan's hand, saying, "It's very spicy, I want water."

"Then have some of my fish ball soup; it's not spicy."

Xia Tan continued speaking softly.

Jin Chen complained: 'No, I don't eat cilantro.'

Xia Tan: '……'

Since you're already a ghost, don't be so picky.

Min Qiguai leaned over to Xia Tan's face, asking, 'Xiao Tan, what are you muttering about?'

"It's fine, it's fine, I'm just thinking about that case."

Xia Tan took another bite of shrimp paste, casually making up an excuse.

Pang Ge slurped his steaming noodles spicily, then suddenly muttered, 'Right, Xiao Tan, when is that Master coming over? I'll have him take a look at me another day.'

Xia Tan froze, and the condensed milk bun in his hand fell out of fright.

Shao Dong picked it up doubtfully, asking, 'What's wrong with you?'

Xia Tan: "……" I want you to shut up.

Feeling the sudden chill beside him, Xia Tan thought his little life was about to end.

Big... master?

Jin Chen pinched his earlobe, his tone dangerous, "Sure, little bee, do you want to drive me away or kill me?"

Xia Tan shivered, trying to ease his earlobe, his voice thin as a mosquito's hum.

You heard wrong, I'm not a ghost‑catching master, I'm a case‑solving master.

Fatty Brother slurped another mouthful of noodles, "Don't worry, my mom said that master's ghost‑catching skills are top‑notch!"

Xia Tan: "……"

Enough, I feel sorry for myself.

Jin Chen slowly raised his brow, his cool fingertips climbing Xia Tan's lower back, stroking the smooth skin with sudden force.

Xia Tan suddenly straightened his waist, unable to eat his favorite shrimp balls, his mind filled with the angry ghost Dage possibly eating him—better strike first.

This uneasy fear lasted until the hot pot was finished, and Jin Chen didn't impose any real punishment.

Until all the guests had left, the Main Gate closed.

Smack!

Xia Tan clearly saw all the lights flicker, then go out one by one into darkness.

Not yet accustomed to the darkness, Xia Tan stood in the Living Room, feeling a gloom where you can't see your hand in front of your face.

D... Dage, I was wrong.

Xia Tan hurriedly apologized, his whole body tensing up.

Jin Chen.

Jin Chen lifted Xia Tan's chin, his fingertip pressing on his lips, his voice hoarse: "My name is Jin Chen."

Xia Tan nervously stepped back half a step, "Jin... Jin Chen Dage."

That's how respectful I am!

…… Wah!

Jin Chen scooped up the reckless little bee in a horizontal hold and headed straight for the master bedroom.

Jin Chen Dage, I really was wrong, I shouldn't have summoned the master, please let me go…… I'm still so young, I don't want to die……

Plop!

Xia Tan was thrown onto the bed, frightened stiff, the creeping yin energy blanketing him—though it was a sweltering summer night, the room felt as cold as an ice cellar.

Jin Chen was very angry.

Xia Tan inexplicably had this feeling.

If he didn't show some sincerity in his apology, he probably wouldn't survive the night.

Xia Tan thought that, but when that scorching, damp kiss landed on his neck, losing the ability to think happened in an instant, his brain completely shut down.

No……

Cannot refuse.

Jin Chen agreed, dragging Xia Tan into the blankets, effortlessly stripping off all his clothes in silence.

So cold… don't, let me go!

Xia Tan had never been bullied so wildly, his heart full of panic, clearly feeling his fingertips continually stirring fire, the pleasure he had barely suppressed in the bathroom surging back.

So cold?

Jin Chen touched his own hand, puzzled, suddenly realized that his spiritual power had gone astray throughout his body, and he regained human warmth.

He bent down, wrapped his arms around the slender, slightly trembling waist, and placed a kiss on the lower abdomen, "Good, it's not cold anymore."

Xia Tan was aroused to slightly lift his head; lowering his head a bit, he saw the ambiguous, moist red mark spreading, all his struggles were in vain.

Xia Tan turned his head away, raised a hand and bit the back of his hand.

Jin Chen saw a tear drop from the corner of his eye, his movement paused slightly, and all uncontrollable anger receded like a tide.

Jin Chen, somewhat at a loss, wiped away the moisture at the corner of his eye, "Xia Tan, you're very afraid of me."

Xia Tan went limp all over, hearing these words he let out an uncontrollable sob, "Let me go……let me go……I'm afraid of this……"

He had no experience, only feeling that all emotional stirring should start from the heartbeat, yet tonight he was confused and ended up being pressed onto the bed and bullied.

Xia Tan was truly afraid.

Jin Chen turned over, pulled Xia Tan into his embrace together with the blanket and held tight, kissed his constantly trembling shoulder, "Be good, I won't do anything."

"Xia Tan, don't be afraid of me."

Xia Tan still couldn't see anything, but gradually he was no longer afraid of the darkness, he sobbed an "um", realizing that his own fearful tears made Jin Chen withdraw his hand, he dazedly hid himself in the blanket.

"Don't bully me……then I won't be afraid of you."

Xia Tan's voice was very soft, still trembling.

Jin Chen didn't say whether it was good or not, he simply soothed by rubbing Xia Tan's back, holding him completely close in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed Xia Tan's lips.

"Then may I kiss you?"

Jin Chen's voice in the darkness seemed to turn into a hook, catching the ambiguous, moist air in the bedroom, swirling and drawing Xia Tan into it.

Probably because the ambiguity was too hot at this moment.

Xia Tan, inexplicably, uttered an 'um', his jaws were easily pried open, lips and tongues entangled.

This was an especially soothing and cherishing kiss, as if afraid of hurting Xia Tan.

Xia Tan was easily pulled in, his never-before-in-love heart rate gradually accelerated, like a drowning person clutching at Jin Chen's shoulders, electric current transmitted to his nerve endings.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 20!】

"Xia Tan, don't let me disappear."

In a daze falling asleep, Xia Tan heard the sound by his ear.

He was dazed, then kissed again below the eye corner, feeling itchy, subconsciously burying himself in the embrace.

"Don't bully me…"

Jin Chen paused half a second, "Alright, I'll try my best."

If you can't do it, just say so again.
