【Damn damn damn, scared me to death】
【The scene from the dream appeared, I got so scared I threw my phone away】
【Ahhh, someone save me】
【Why isn't the player moving? Did they get scared stiff?】
The bullet comments exploded after a moment of silence, and Yun Zhi indeed didn't move as the comments said, but it wasn't because she was scared—she was just carefully observing the situation outside the door.
Those red eyes retreated a bit, revealing the whole body, and Yun Zhi realized it was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, his face and body covered in blood.
His eyes were also bloodshot from injury, and, on the verge of collapse, he was lying weakly against the door panel, persistently ringing the doorbell.
"Zhi Zhi, open the door, please, Zhi Zhi, I know you're home..." The man kept repeating Yun Zhi's name.
Yun Zhi frowned, remembering her husband's instructions, and didn't open the door. She asked through the door, "Who are you?"
Hearing Yun Zhi's voice, the man became noticeably more agitated: "Zhi Zhi... don't you remember me? You said I was your favorite, and you promised to come with me before..."
"Did you forget all of that?"
The man's voice came through the door panel, sounding somewhat distorted.
Yun Zhi: Huh?
So this was her lover?
No one told her there was a plotline about playing both sides, did they?
【Things are starting to get interesting】
【Open the door, open the door, open the door—meet your lover during the day, sleep with your husband at night—Sister Zhi, get bold!】
【Shouldn't you guys take a look at this "lover's" condition before talking?】
"Zhi Zhi... open the door quickly... I'll take you away..."
The man outside had stopped ringing the bell and was repeatedly slapping the main door, which, combined with the nonstop chopping sounds upstairs, was especially grating.
"I... I don't know you." Yun Zhi shook her head, looking innocent, "The person I love most is my husband; you must be lying to me!"
But the man seemed even more agitated: "Zhi Zhi... your husband isn't human, don't you remember? You said you hated him the most. He must have tricked you... Trust me, open the door quickly..."
"Only I can keep you safe."
Yun Zhi hesitated in her tone: "Really?"
The man thought her attitude was softening and quickly pressed his advantage: "Of course it's true. I'm the one who loves you the most, Zhi Zhi..."
Yun Zhi blinked, her tone suspicious and disdainful: "But you're already hurt this badly. You seem kind of useless, don't you? Isn't that just trash?"
The man fell silent instantly.
The live stream room was dying of laughter.
【Hahaha save me, Zhi Zhi's innocent face: You look like trash】
【I almost thought the player was really buying it just now; the guy outside must be furious】
【Only an idiot would open the door. Coming to knock covered in blood in broad daylight is creepy no matter how you look at it】
【Husband isn't human, and the lover might not be human either】
The man outside was silent for a moment, then started persuading Yun Zhi again, but his tone had an obvious gritted-teeth edge: "Your husband is lying to you... If you stay, you'll die, Zhi Zhi. Trust me... I won't hurt you."
"Impossible. My husband wouldn't lie to me." Yun Zhi went back to playing the loving wife. No matter how much the voice outside tried to brainwash her, she only had one line—
"I love my husband the most."
"You slander my husband; you're the liar. I hate you, and I won't open the door for you."
The man outside spent ages trying to get her to open the door, blood spilling all over the floor, and finally, hearing her response, he almost fainted from rage.
Damn, where did this love-struck fool come from!
The knocking and ringing finally stopped. Yun Zhi looked through the peephole and saw the man had vanished somehow, leaving only a pool of blood on the floor.
"Ah, he's finally gone." Yun Zhi put her hands on her hips. "I really do love my husband the most~"
After all, her eerie husband had given her a black card she could use freely!
Nothing strange happened after that.
The house had three bedrooms and a living room. Aside from the master bedroom, one of the secondary bedrooms had been converted into a study, and the other was a walk-in closet. Yun Zhi had searched both.
She didn't find any important information, and just as she suspected, there wasn't a single wedding photo of her and her eerie husband.
Aside from that, everything was normal. Even the toilet that had been bleeding outside yesterday was inexplicably clean today.
The only strange thing was that the chopping sound from upstairs had been going on all day, as if it never got tired.
At six in the afternoon, her husband came home from work again.
Yun Zhi rushed over like a colorful butterfly to greet him: "Husband, you're back!"
But her husband stood still at the doorway, instead staring at the layers of bloody handprints on the door panel and the bloodstains on the floor, his eyes growing deep and mysterious.
He seemed to look at the door panel, then lifted his eyes darkly to Yun Zhi, filled with unspeakable ominous emotions.
But before he could speak, Yun Zhi pounced into his arms and pretended to whimper a couple of times: "Husband, I was so scared today."
"What happened?" Her husband's voice instantly turned gentle.
His cold large palm pressed against the back of Yun Zhi's neck, instantly sending chills down her spine.
As if completely unaware, Yun Zhi spilled everything about her daytime experience: "I was fine at home, and then suddenly a weirdo kept banging on the door trying to get in."
"Wifey didn't open the door, did she?" From an angle Yun Zhi couldn't see, her husband's eyes were full of dangerous intent.
"I don't know him, so of course I didn't open the door." Yun Zhi shook her head in his arms, then lifted her little face to look at him obediently, "Husband, who do you think that was?"
"Just some overreaching ants." Her husband's fingers stroked Yun Zhi's brow. "Don't be scared, wifey. I'll protect you."
"Just trust me. Your husband is the one who loves you the most." He leaned down, pressing his cold lips to Yun Zhi's forehead.
"Did you remember that?" His tone was gentle, but it sounded like a warning.
His black pupils without any highlights stared straight at Yun Zhi's face, as if checking for even the slightest sign of reluctance.
【Hiss, I feel like this eerie husband is also a bit scary】
【Kinda like a pervert who would play forced love...】
【Forced love pervert X little wife, seems kind of delicious】
【Even daring to mess with a male ghost, I'm definitely following this player's stream】
Yun Zhi didn't know what the bullet comments thought of her.
At that moment, she was obediently nestled in her eerie husband's arms, nodding: "Don't worry, husband. I'll only trust you and only love you."
After all, she was the happiest housewife in the world right now.
Yun Zhi believed that a ghoul willing to give her a black card couldn't be too bad, hehe.
✦✦✦
Night fell. Husband looked at the wife sleeping soundly in his arms, then loosened his hand from around her waist and got up.
He silently walked out of the bedroom, crossed the living room, and went to the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife.
Only a few viewers were still in the live stream room after nightfall, but they suddenly snapped awake at the sight.
【Holy crap, what's going on, why the kitchen knife? Sis Zhi, wake up!】
【I knew living with a ghoul was a bad idea; you'd die without even knowing how】
【It's over, the streamer's done for】
But Yun Zhi in the bed remained fast asleep.
