About how my wife resurrected me as tentacles after my death.

From those few times onward, she knew that A-Yuan was conscious.

It's not a guess, nor is it fantasy.

During those kisses, he would rub against me and try to get back together.

They would deliberately cling to me while I was taking a shower.

He would secretly suck her when he went to sleep at night.

And just now... he swallowed the corpse to protect her.

Those are not things that a tentacle with only "instinct" could do.

Yu Wan stood at the kitchen doorway, holding freshly washed vegetables in her hand.

She dared not... she dared not face the truth.

She dared not admit it... she turned A-Yuan into a... tiny tentacle that couldn't even speak.

A monster with a full human consciousness, yet trapped in a tentacle.

They dare not confront her sins.

I can't imagine how devastated and heartbroken he would be if he woke up every day to find himself like this.

What I dare not even imagine is...

His suffering was caused by her.

She was too greedy.

Ah Yuan is dead; perhaps she should let him rest in peace.

But she can't.

She dreamed of him coming back, of his kindness, of him holding her, of him kissing her, of him calling her "Wanwan" in her ear.

So she did those things.

Sacrifice... slaughter.

Dealing with those evil gods...

........

A long time passed.

Yu Wan continued chopping vegetables.

Heat the pan.

Stir-fry.

Her eyes were still a little red.

The matter will be clarified sooner or later...

And if Ah-Yuan knew I lied to him like this, she'd be angry too...

Let her be a little greedier then.

Be a little greedier.

After finishing her meal, she...

She asked to find out.

......

The food was served.

Three dishes and one soup.

Yu Wan set out the bowls and chopsticks, then took out a small tablet from her pocket.

That was the one Chen Yuan used before. The screen was a bit cracked, but it was still usable.

She opened her tablet and tapped on an interface.

A simple question and answer, with only a big √ and a big × on it.

Yu Wan placed the tablet on the table and pushed it in front of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was lying there waiting for his meal when he saw the tablet and paused for a moment.

Yu Wan took a deep breath, then spoke, her voice trembling slightly, but she tried to remain calm:

"Is A-Yuan... inside?"

She pointed to the checkmark on the tablet, then pointed to the cross.

Chen Yuan stared at the two buttons, lost in thought.

Is she testing whether he is conscious?

Or... does she already know?

He thought about it.

Although Yu Wan is a bit slow-witted, she's not stupid.

She must have noticed his little tricks a long time ago.

She had just kept quiet and pretended not to know, but now she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Should he admit it?

If I admit it, will it scare her?

Will it be...

Chen Yuan looked into Yu Wan's eyes.

Those scarlet eyes held tension, anticipation, fear, and... a hint of pleading.

It's as if it's saying: Ah-Yuan, is it you? Please, tell me, is it you?

Chen Yuan moved to the front of the tablet.

The tip of the tentacle touched the checkmark.

Yu Wan's eyes brightened slightly.

But it wasn't the kind of surprise; it was more of a feeling of relief.

She wasn't too surprised.

After all, I had already guessed it; I just needed to confirm it.

"It's good that you have the memory..."

She spoke softly, a smile curving her lips.

"Next question... A-Yuan is my personal property, and no one can touch her."

Then she picked up the tablet and pushed it in front of him, with the same checkmark and cross on it.

Chen Yuan: "???"

What...personal belongings?

He looked up at Yu Wan.

Yu Wan's face was slightly flushed as she looked at him.

"Ah Yuan, light it," she said softly.

Chen Yuan: "..."

He was about to protest, but Yu Wan had already picked up his little tentacle and pressed it onto the checkmark.

"Puji puji, jili gulu!" (Wait, wait!)

Chen Yuan struggled.

But it didn't work.

Yu Wan pressed the tip of his tentacle and steadily placed it on the checkmark.

"Ah Yuan is indeed inside," she said with a smile. "You naughty girl, trying to lie to me?"

Chen Yuan: "......."

No, he didn't mean to lie to her.

He just wanted to protest the content of the issue.

But Yu Wan had already started asking the next question.

"From now on, A-Yuan can only look at me, not at anyone else, no one else..."

Chen Yuan: "???"

Wait, when did he see anyone else?

He would lie on her chest every day, unable to see anyone else.

Yu Wan picked up his little tentacle again and clicked the checkmark.

Chen Yuan: "..."

Never mind, as long as my wife is happy.

Yu Wan continued.

"You have to kiss me every day, at least ten times."

√.

"You have to hold me while I sleep tonight and you're not allowed to run around."

√.

"Be good when you take a bath, and don't cling too tightly."

√.

"But you can wrap it up a little..."

√.

"You have to finish everything I make when you eat."

√.

Chen Yuan has given up the struggle.

He just lay there, letting her tap the checkmarks on his little tentacles one by one.

With each checkmark she made, her smile deepened, and her eyes crinkled into crescents.

Although some of the questions are embarrassing.

But... Ah-Yuan is probably clueless right now and wouldn't know what all this means.

As she thought this, the shame she felt faded considerably.

All that's left is... a sense of satisfaction.

Ah-Yuan belongs to her.

It belongs to her alone, and no one can take it away.

Yu Wan was pointing when she suddenly stopped.

She was already prepared for the next question.

But when it comes to actually asking, I'm still a little afraid.

......

"Will A-Yuan... blame me? I've become such a monster."

Her eyes suddenly reddened again.

She also knew that this question was meaningless.

Ah-Yuan will definitely click the X.

No matter how uncomfortable, sad, or devastated he felt.

He always clicks the X.

Chen Yuan listened to the question.

Blame her?

Wow, he's still alive! It's probably because Qin Shi Huang came to burn incense and offer money to his ancestors.

The tip of the tentacle touched the "x".

Then he skillfully exited the Q&A interface and opened the notes app.

Type slowly with the tip of your finger.

I have always been...

Four words.

Yu Wan stared at those four words, slightly stunned...
