Suddenly, the sound of water flowing could be heard in the bathroom.

I realized that the light in the bathroom was on. The door was ajar, and a thick mist of steam was rising from it.

The light in the bedroom was off, except for the wall light.

Compared to the dim bedroom, the bright bathroom was eye-catching.

Am I still dreaming?

The reason why I asked myself this question was probably because of the lack of protective talismans and the appearance of Huangfu Ming, which caused my nerves to weaken a little.

"Un, ah, uh..."

A woman?

A woman's groan came from the bathroom.

Unconsciously, I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom door. The closer I got to the woman, the clearer my voice became.

I looked through the half-closed bathroom door.

A woman sat on the sink counter, her hair dark and long and dripping under the bathroom light.

….

I stood in the doorway with my mouth slightly open, my cheeks burning.

The man turned to look at me, his eyes glazed, misty, unfocused.

Ah —" I covered my mouth and forced the scream back into my throat. I choked on my own saliva because of my nervousness and embarrassment.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

I coughed uncontrollably. Tears had broken out of my eyes, and large drops of tears fell to the ground, splashing small drops of water.

It was Chu Yubai!

I couldn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe it, that he had brought a woman home and was doing shameful piston movements in a room just a door away.

Did he know that I betrayed him and intentionally brought a woman home to anger me?

The woman's hands, painted red, were as white as whitewashed walls and covered with bones.

She placed her hand on Chu Yibai's handsome face, making him look at her.

Chu Yi Bai didn't resist. He followed the woman's movements and looked at her.

A wave of anger rose from his heart. Even if I was in the wrong, you, Chu Yubai, can't do this to me.

I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave. I was about to freeze to death, and I couldn't hold it in any longer. My entire body was trembling with anger. "Chu Yubai!"

I collapsed to the floor and looked into the bathroom with tears in my eyes.

The woman had disappeared. Chu Yibai walked out from behind the curtain, his body still exuding water vapor. His entire body was dripping wet, as if he had just taken a bath. The water droplets formed a line and slid down Chu Yibai's perfect body, covering his lower body with a white towel.

I wiped my tears in disbelief and opened my eyes wide. My mind went blank as I saw Chu Yibai squat down in front of me and pick me up.

"Shan Shan, what's wrong with you? Did he have a nightmare? It's okay, I'm here! I didn't wake you up when I came back and saw you sleeping soundly. Seeing you like this, I quickly went under the blanket and lay down. Be careful not to catch a cold! "

After saying that, he carried me to the bed. He gently put me down and covered me with the blanket. Because he was too anxious, he didn't have the time to put on his slippers. "Wait, I'll pour you a cup of hot water!"

"Yi Bai, don't go!" I squeezed his hand, my heart still aching.

It seems I was hallucinating!

But it was so real, so real it was like I had a couple of ice knives stuck in my chest, and they were deadly.

If Yubai were to find out about my relationship with Huangfu Ming, would his heart also be pained to death, I think he would be.

"I'm not leaving! Shan Shan, don't be afraid! Can you tell me what happened? " Chu Yibai turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. I rested my head on his lap while he stroked my hair.

"Yibai, I saw that ghost girl. She was the ghost girl in our wedding photo!"

Hearing my words, Chu Yibai's body clearly stiffened. He nervously asked, "Did she hurt you?"

I shook my head and Chu Yibai's body relaxed a lot.

I seemed to realize that Chu Yi Bai was hiding something from me. I tried to ask him, but he didn't say anything. He just said that it was getting late and wanted me to hurry up and go to sleep.

In his arms, I quickly fell asleep without having any more nightmares.

As he had just arrived in S City to take over the project, Chu Yi Bai's work was unusually busy and he didn't have much time to accompany me.

I always feel tired recently, spiritless, like to sleep in bed, appetite is also very bad, what to eat what spit.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something wasn't right. Those few days on the honeymoon had been my usual vacation, so when I said that my aunt had come, Chu Yi Bai didn't suspect anything.

I went to the drugstore and bought a pregnancy test.

Pregnant!

How is this possible? I am not sleeping with Chu Yubai, so how could I possibly be pregnant?

When night falls, Huangfu Ming, who I haven't seen for a few days, once again appears in front of me.

He flew to me from the darkness like a night emissary, his black robes flapping and dancing like a blower, giving him the air of a king.

The moment he appeared, the temperature in the air dropped by a lot.

I didn't want to see him, so I turned to leave.

Huangfu Ming grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back, locking me in his ice-cold embrace. He placed a hand on my stomach and asked, "Is the child well?"

"Wha, what child?" How did he know I had children?

"My wife, be nice to our child. He should at least call you 'mother'!" You can't be so heartless! " He lowered his head and bit me on the shoulder.

I gave a cry of pain and stomped on his foot, but he didn't move. His face was expressionless.

"I won't have this child!" I almost shouted it out.

He knows what I've done.

In order to get rid of this child, I deliberately did the exercise, the jump, the sprint, the jump rope, I want to unknowingly run away from him, I can't have this child, people are both human and ghost.

Huangfu Ming turned my body towards him and grabbed my chin with his hand. "Look at me!"

I stubbornly refused to look at him because of him. I hated him, including the child.

"As long as you keep your child and give birth to him, I will satisfy you with anything you want." His domineering eyes turned gentle in an instant, and his tone also became a lot softer.

"If I want you to never appear in front of me, can you do it too?"

"I can't do it!" His voice was cold again, and he suppressed his anger. "My wife, your husband loves you. I only love you. Please don't be so cruel, okay?"

"I don't love you!"

"Then who do you love? Is that Chu Yubai? " Huangfu Ming raised his brows. "Unfortunately, that pretty boy is in the midst of a warm and gentle village. How can he have the time to love you and accompany you!"

"What did you say?"

Huangfu Ming, seeing that I didn't know anything, became even more pleased. "Don't you know that that Chu Yibai of yours has been fooling around with his wife recently?"

His words reminded me of what I had seen in the bathroom that day. I was ashamed and angry, and in a bad mood.

Huangfu Ming's fingers stabbed into my hair, interestedly wrapping around and around, unwrapping, wrapping again and again.

I didn't know what to do.

Ever since he came to S City, Chu Yi Bai had been very busy. Every time he came home, it was very late, and he would smell more or less alcohol every day.

Besides, I could feel that he was keeping something from me, intentionally or unintentionally.

I chased Huangfu Ming away and told him that I would consider it.

Actually, I just wanted to wait for Chu Yubai to come back tonight and ask him about everything.

It was very, very late. It was so late that my upper and lower eyelids were filled with fighting martial arts.

Suddenly, the bedroom door burst open and slammed into the wall.

Chu Yubai stood at the door, drinking again. He was drinking again.

But tonight, he was a bit different, and he had an angry expression on his face.

I wanted to go up and ask him, but because I was afraid, I couldn't move my feet. I just stood on the spot and asked him, "Yi Bai, what's wrong?"

His voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Won't you come up and help me, Shan Shan?" Chu Yibai sadly looked at me.

I stopped, stepped forward, and took his arm.

Chu Yibai swayed his body and directly put his hand on my neck. His entire body leaned over and his chest was obviously heaving up and down, but he was suppressing his breathing, making it sound more normal.

He was heavy, and I bore his shoulders, as if I were carrying a wounded lion.

The short distance from the bedroom door to the bed was like the longest walk I had ever taken.

Not just because of his weight, of course, but because of his mood, which I hadn't seen in nine years.

Chu Yibai always had a handsome appearance, bringing along the pure white of the sun's rays and moonlight. He was warm, not burnt, but refreshing and not cold.

And at this moment, his appearance was as if he suffered a great heartache, wanting to say something but was unable to do so. He was holding it in until his internal injuries seemed to be extremely angry, yet he could not release the pain that he felt.

Because he was so heavy, I was carried off the bed by him and fell straight on top of him.

I hastily got up. "Wait for me, I'll go get you a cup of water!"

"Don't go, stay with me!" The distance that was just opened up was once again closed as I returned to his embrace. Chu Yi Bai's hoarse and heavy voice was like a bass cannon in my ears.

"We'll go to the hospital tomorrow."

"What for?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Did he really know something? Why did he suddenly say he was going to the hospital? What should I do?

At night, I seemed to have had a very long dream. I dreamt of Chu Yibai, Huangfu Ming, that long-haired ghost girl, and the child that directly jumped out of my stomach. Rather than calling him a child, he was more like a monster.

His small body was about the size of a three year old child. His body was translucent and half solid. It was as if he was half human and half a ghost of nothingness.

He ran to me and called for my mother, and I was both expectant and frightened, and just a meter away from him, he screamed, and his voice rang through the air, accompanied by a terrible scream, and his body exploded and blood splattered everywhere.

I covered my mouth to keep from screaming.

That explosive sound was like an explosion in my heart, shattering my heart.
