I looked up and found that Rong Qi was still smiling at me. Then, he explained honestly, "I walked back here. After you left, I had been staying there until dawn. I felt much better and walked back in the road we took before..."
His voice tailed off as he spoke because he knew I would be pissed off.
"Are you out of your mind? It's so far..."
I found that I couldn't keep up with the pace of this male ghost. It was too fast.
However, I was not stupid as he was. Even though I was pissed off, I almost immediately understood his stunning intention, "You are afraid that I might leave you there and never go back to find you, right?"
Last night in the mass grave, Rong Qi asked me repeatedly to go and find him earlier. At that time, I thought he just didn't want to be alone.
But now I realized from the beginning to the end, he always pestered me, because he feared that I would run away and not help him.
He couldn't even wait for just one morning before walking back to find me.
"You never really believed me, did you? Are you afraid that I would take the Zuo's Family killers with me and attack you again?"
I smiled coldly.
"Miaomiao..."
Rong Qi realized what I was thinking, with anxiety and complication in his eyes, and explained urgently, "I never thought that...
I don't know how to explain to you, and I don't know if you can understand me. I've been in the cold underground for more than a hundred years. The vicissitudes of life are completely out of my control...
I have no one to trust. You are the only one I can trust...
I don't know how you would believe me. I have never suspected you."
Rong Qi's words were messy, just as his mood at the moment.
But I figured out that he was scared and helpless. He thought he could take down the Zuo's Family with ease, but he never expected that they would betray him in a blink.
He lost all his confidence, including in me.
Even the Zuo's Family could betray him, let alone a chance acquaintance like me.
I could imagine how a ghost full of suspicions and insecurities spent the night by himself in the mass grave and how he walked back to the city on foot in a nervous state.
And eventually he found me with his weakened tactics.
"Ok, I know. As long as you don't hurt me, I can always help you within my capability, I promise."I placated him with comforting words.
Rong Qi, seeing that I was not angry anymore, seemed to be greatly relieved, and then pulled me to the vacant back of the alley.
His look was a bit sullen, "They took my crescent jade. But, they refused to keep the promise. Instead, they tried to kill me. They must be planning the next move. I have to recover completely before that."
I looked at Rong Qi's feeble soul and asked, "How can you recover?"
"I need Yang Qi (the energy of the living) ..."
Rong Qi said faintly, which I could barely hear. Then, he seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly restrained my wrists.
All I could feel was a ghostly shroud, and then I couldn't move.
Then, I watched Rong Qi grab my waist single-handedly, and I felt his cool and thin lips pressing on mine firmly.
I didn't know if it was because the touch was too cold, or something else. My brain broke down at that moment.
Before I could react, Rong Qi's kiss had been deeper and deeper. His kiss was gentle and lingering.
The next moment, my brain was spinning.
Even if my whole body was controlled by the ghost tactics and unable to move, I could not help but collapse to the wall behind me.
At this moment, Rong Qi opened his eyes, looking at me innocently. I flew into a great rage in no time, intending to give him a hard push. However, since he was no human, I was merely pushing a shadow. I was exasperated, with my eyes turning red.
I was too naive to pity him. Just in a blink, the white bunny turned into a big bad wolf.
"Get out of here!"
I slid down by the wall to the floor, with my eyes reddening.
It seemed that Rong Qi had never expected me to react like this. He was slightly surprised and explained, "I'm sorry. You just said you are willing to help me within your capabilities. The fastest way to recover is to get a little Yang Qi from the living. I really just took a little. It's no harm to you."
"What the hell are you thinking? It's not about Yang Qi at all!"
It was my kiss, the girl's kiss, taken by a ghost who had known me for just two days.
Rong Qi seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and patted his own head in self-reproach, "Oh, sorry. I have not been a man for too long. I forgot that the girl's mouth cannot be kissed casually. How about this? If no one wants to marry you in the future, I will take the responsibility to take care of you."
"Shut up."I shot him a cold glare.
"Although I am a ghost, I have moral integrity, and I'll fulfill my commitment. Since you have agreed, it's a deal."Unexpectedly, he made this sound very well-reasoned in a natural manner.
"You are the one nobody would marry, and so are your entire families."I was even more exasperated. But after his kiss, I was a lot less angry about him suspecting me.
I was more aggrieved that I had been worried about him all night, but he took advantage of me, just like a big bad wolf.
