……

As her eyes slowly closed, Xiao Wuhui revealed a comfortable and relaxed expression, and soon only the sound of her even and light breathing remained.

After holding the little girl for a long time without any support, Zhiyao felt sore in her back, so she rubbed her waist, moving so gently that she was afraid of waking the little girl.

At the same time, the words the little girl had just said began to replay in my head.

Especially that long and heartfelt speech, and the tears that followed when she was worried that something might happen to her when she went to Rishang Mountain.

Komiri ordered him to leave here, even threatening to die. That is to say, after defeating the evil Kirie and rescuing Hinasaki Manfuyu, he would say goodbye to her forever.

But, is it really necessary to be like this?

To be honest, Zhiyao is actually very conflicted.

Living is the instinct of all living things. Of course, he didn't want to die here, but he did say that he would stay. Even though he was in a state of heartache, entanglement, excitement and fever, at least one thing was true - he couldn't bear to leave the little girl.

When he was playing the game before, the game did not give too many side descriptions of Himuro Kirie, which led to him not having any feelings for Kirie and focusing all his attention on Shenhong. However, since coming here and getting along with her, he found that Kirie was more worthy of attention than Shenhong, and they got along very well in the past few hours, and he also learned a lot of things that he had never thought about deeply before.

As he learned more, he began to feel a strange feeling in his heart. Then, when he saw with his own eyes that the kind-hearted Wuhui was beaten and bruised while fighting for him and the evil Wuhui, the strange feeling began to grow further.

Liking someone is often a matter of a moment; a glance, a word, or a passing by is enough.

When Wuhui's fate, loneliness, regret, pain, tears of worry for herself and many other factors combined together and poured into his mind like an unstoppable flood, Zhiyao finally understood one thing.

I seem to have fallen in love with Xiao Wuhui.

This was something I had never dared to imagine before coming to Himuro's residence.

Of course it's impossible to commit a crime. There is no law that prohibits people from liking ghosts. Although her appearance seems to have problems, Xiao Wuhui's age is actually no longer within the prohibited range.

The little cutie nestled lovingly in his arms. As his gaze shifted to her peaceful, sleeping face, the young man began to feel a subtle shift in his heart. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Wu Hui was already much prettier than Shen Hong and Gu Du, and now, in Zhi Yao's eyes, she was even more charming.

Hinasaki Mafuyu, and Asanumaha, both of you give me claws!

It seems that it is becoming increasingly difficult to calm down.

By chance, Zhiyao remembered something. When she was in this space before, Xiao Wuhui seemed to have kissed her.

Now that he's back and he's made it clear that he likes her, should he kiss her back?

Of course, the kiss on the forehead doesn't count.

The throbbing feeling was like the vines of the world tree, spreading to every corner of the heart. His sight was fixed on the moist and crystal lips. Unconsciously, Zhiyao's face began to slowly move forward until it reached the position where he would be kissed if he continued to move forward.

Kiss or not.

At this moment, the two choices were like two weights placed on the left and right pans, causing the scale in Zhiyao's heart to tilt left and right.

But deep down in his heart, Zhiyao didn't want to hesitate too much on this matter, so after thinking about it for two minutes, he made up his mind and made a final decision.

Their lips touched gently, the cool and soft feeling was irresistible.

[I kissed you, it’s so nice]

The next moment, Xiao Wuhui opened her eyes.

Chapter 53: [Cherish this moment]

The shock to her heart was too intense, Xiao Wuhui instinctively opened her eyes, her mind blank.

The soft aftertaste from the lips of a living person reached her heart, and gradually, she was able to react.

“Wow—!”

In a panic, she pushed Zhiyao away and struggled out of his arms.

"You... Sikong... what are you doing..."

She covered her lips and spoke incoherently. If it were a comic, you could see steam coming out of her head.

Unfortunately, the soul does not have the physical conditions to blush like the body, otherwise Zhiyao would see her panic with a flushed face.

"Ah, you woke up so soon?" Unlike Xiao Wuhui who was flustered, Zhiyao looked calm and at ease. "Have you rested enough? It's only been less than ten minutes."

"How can I dare to continue resting after you've done this!" Xiao Wuhui gradually frowned with resentment.

"This kind of thing?" Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted in seconds, "Is it necessary to react like this? It's not like you haven't kissed me before."

"When did I ever kiss you?" Xiao Wuhui retorted, emphasizing, "I definitely didn't kiss you!"

"Yes, just before, when I let you live in my body, it was in a place like this."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's gone, I'm sure."

"Really, I did. When we were hugging each other, before you disappeared, my lips felt cool and soft against yours."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Wuhui immediately recalled it, and then became extremely embarrassed, "That's not a kiss, it's a finger..." Xiao Wuhui stretched out her middle and index fingers and showed them to Zhiyao, "I put the fingertips on your mouth."

To prevent Zhiyao from not believing it, Xiao Wuhui immediately stepped forward and put her fingertips on it so that he could feel it for himself. Zhiyao closed his eyes to savor it and recall it, and when he opened his eyes, he was still extremely embarrassed.

"Why are you sticking your mouth on me?"

"Boarding requires injecting some spiritual power into the target person's mouth first..." Xiao Wuhui suddenly paused halfway through her words, and shrank her neck awkwardly.

"Yes...well, it seems I misunderstood..." Zhiyao looked away guiltily.

"But I was really kissed." Xiao Wuhui stared at him with resentful eyes, "Sikong, you are really getting more and more excessive. You suddenly held my hand and hugged me without saying anything, and I tolerated the sudden kiss on my forehead. Now you even kissed me while I was sleeping. Tell me, why?"

"Why do you think that is?" Zhiyao asked back with an embarrassed smile.

"Answer quickly!" Xiao Wuhui bulged her eyes and ordered.

"I like you."

Xiao Wuhui couldn't say that she was completely surprised by such an answer, and her mouth opened.

"You're lying... You clearly didn't have such thoughts before..."

"The idea came to me while you were sleeping and I just missed it." Zhiyao quickly added.

"That's too hasty, so fast." Xiao Wuhui turned her face away exaggeratedly.

Really worried that the little girl had twisted her neck, Zhiyao gently held her head and caressed it tenderly, "Liking is a matter of a single thought, and the kiss was due to a misunderstanding... I can only say that I'm very sorry."

"You're still feeling pretty confident, aren't you?" Kirie glared at him with her face tilted to the side, her cheeks puffed up slightly like an angry pufferfish. "This is my first kiss! Even Mr. Asanuma has never done this to me!"

"Great, I'm finally ahead of him!" Zhiyao clenched his fists excitedly, feeling both happy and surprised.

He was actually starting to feel proud. Xiao Wuhui decisively poked his forehead, each time harder and harder. "This is called a crime, you know?!" She then complained, "Even if you really wanted to kiss me, you should have asked me first instead of acting on your own."

"Ahahaha, I can't help it, I can't help it."

Their eyes met and they both fell silent. After a while, Zhiyao moved forward and held Xiao Wuhui's face in the palms of his hands.

In an instant, a hazy light appeared in Xiao Wuhui's eyes, and then she covered the back of the other person's hand with her own palms.

But soon, the haze was replaced by sadness.

"Sikong, don't be like this." Xiao Wuhui gently took the hand away from the other party and advised earnestly, "I'm already dead. I left this world more than a hundred years ago."

"But you are standing in front of me now." Zhiyao held her two small hands and pressed them against his temples.

"What you saw was just my soul." Xiao Wuhui sighed softly.

"What's the difference between a soul and a body? They can both be seen and touched, can talk to each other, can hug each other, and feel the presence of the other person."

"Even so, I can't be with you." Xiao Wuhui's tone was extremely difficult, and her heart was as heavy as a mountain. "To be honest, I have already caused a tragedy. So when I woke up, I swore that no matter what I encountered in the future, I would firmly believe in it and never waver. So even when I saw Mr. Asanuma's reincarnation coming back here, I tried my best to restrain my heart from being moved. No matter what, I must complete my mission again."

"I know, I know..." Zhiyao couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling equally heavy-hearted.

"So you'd better take back that idea. Don't forget that you promised me that you would leave here and live a good life after this is over."

"At least before I leave, I must follow my long-cherished wish."

That's meaningless, Xiao Wuhui wanted to say.

But I can't bear it.

Because she knows very well that what she wants is also what the other party wants, so she probably hopes to be as happy as possible before parting and leave as many good memories as possible.

After a moment of silence, Zhiyao's voice sounded again.

"When I die one day, I will come to the Gate of the Underworld to find you."

"The spirit of the Rope Maiden won't last until then." Xiao Wuhui shook her head slightly, smiling bitterly. "Sikong, the ritual cycle is different in each place, you know that."

"Then..." Zhiyao thought for a moment, "How about strengthening the seals around the Bingshi Mansion? And then find a way to hide the mansion. That way, no one can get in. Even if the Yellow Springs Gate is left unattended, the miasma will only leak out within the Bingshi Mansion."

"What's the difference between then and now?" Xiao Wuhui was speechless. Suddenly remembering something, she asked in surprise, "Are you planning to make me wait a few more decades until you die before I complete my mission?"

This reminded Zhiyao, who then slapped his forehead.

"Yup!"

"No, I can't wait any longer." Xiao Wuhui resolutely refused. "Besides fulfilling my duties, I also have to pay for the sin of killing people by my clone. I have been suffering for too long because I don't have enough strength, and my clone is still killing people, so I haven't taken any action yet."

"Can't you wait a little longer? Even for me?"

"Feel sorry."

"Really?"

"sorry."

Xiao Wuhui's eyes were firm, and her resolute attitude was written on her face. After that, the two of them stopped talking and their eyes met, entering a confrontation.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhiyao lowered his head sadly and nodded slightly.

"Sikong, it's better to give up on me." Xiao Wuhui started to bring up the past, "I know that in the original world, you called Hinasaki Shenhong your wife."

Zhiyao was embarrassed, and the corner of her mouth twitched. "That... that's just following the trend, the internet is playing a meme, stupid netizens are all like that. Besides, Hinasaki Shinku is fictional."

"Not anymore," Xiao Wuhui said. "Now she really exists. You can see and touch her. It's totally worth a try."

"Forget it. She's a brother complex, and I'm worried. What if one day I'm excused?"

"You should have more confidence in yourself. Honestly, in my opinion, you are no less capable than Hinasaki Mafuyu."

"She's not inferior to Asanuma Ye." Zhiyao said for no reason.

Then, naturally, she got a cold stare from Kirie.

"Why are you competing with a dead person..." Xiao Wuhui looked unhappy with a look of resentment in her eyes.

"Because I also like dead people."

This made so much sense that Xiao Wuhui was speechless for a moment, and then she heard Zhiyao continue to speak.

"In this world, the dead are not necessarily safe." Zhiyao scratched his scalp. "Hinasaki Mafuyu died, but in the end, she still got her sister pregnant, and she died with her."

"The situation is different. Hinasaki Mafuyu hasn't gone to the underworld yet, but Mr. Asanuma hasn't. Mr. Asanuma has even completed his reincarnation and has been reborn as Hinasaki Mafuyu." Kirie disagreed with the above statement and added, "Besides, you were about to take him away from me, and I didn't stop you."

"I understand. You want me to be at ease and not be jealous." Zhiyao immediately pounded his fist on his palm, as if he had suddenly realized something.

Xiao Wuhui: "..."

I clearly didn't want him to casually compare me with another very important person, so how could it be understood that I didn't want him to be jealous?

Xiao Wuhui was simply too exhausted to complain.

However, as I thought about it more deeply, well, it does have that meaning a bit.

Of course, she wasn't surprised by this, because deep down, she knew very well that she kind of liked this guy, and this guy had kissed her on his own initiative.

She thought that if this person appeared when she was still alive, she might be hesitant between him and Asanuma Ye.

Xiao Wuhui fell into endless reverie. When she came to her senses, she found that Zhiyao's face was very close to her. At this distance, she could even see her own image reflected in the pupils of the other person.

Is this another kiss?

She was a little hesitant and uncertain, but soon, as her lips were covered by the soft feeling, she closed her eyes and stopped thinking.

No matter what, let's just keep getting along, because I like him too. Even if we have to say goodbye forever, at least at this moment, we are still together.
