He was accustod to life and death, so his threshold was naturally much higher than that of ordinary people, and he couldn't truly understand how deeply the sa thing could touch ordinary people's hearts.
"Help bring the cell phone."
Xiao Yingying nodded, went out to get the cell phone, Tan Wenbin reported the number, and after Xiao Yingying dialed it, she placed the phone like a pillow against Tan Wenbin's neck.
The call was quickly connected, and there was so noise on the other end, likely from a public telephone booth outside a university dormitory.
"Hello, Tan Wenbin?"
"Of course, it's ."
"I had a nightmare again, I dread about you..."
Zhou Yunyun's voice choked a little.
Tan Wenbin: "Dreams are the opposite, darling, we're the proud successors of society, don't believe in that feudal superstition."
Xiao Yingying brought over a bowl of tonic for Tan Wenbin, and to make it easier for him to drink, she specially inserted a straw, then fed the other end into Tan Wenbin's mouth.
Afterwards, Xiao Yingying sat down by the bed and closed her eyes, her breathing growing heavier.
She was actively absorbing the ghost energy from Tan Wenbin, this energy making her feel extrely comfortable and at ease.
And Tan Wenbin now had too much of this ghost energy and wished she could absorb a bit more from him.
"Binbin, can you co back from the construction site? I'm really scared, afraid that if you continue there, sothing might happen."
"I have to work, once the project here is done, I'll co back, don't worry."
"Can't you do a different job? I want to see you often, like before, we were both in Jinling, you would co to my school to see or I would go to yours."
"How can we live without working, we need to eat, right?"
"I can support you."
Hearing this, Tan Wenbin was really touched.
Zhou Yunyun: "You don't believe ?"
Tan Wenbin: "I believe you."
"That's settled then, I can work after graduation and support you."
"Initially it might work, we might be able to live on love alone, but after a few years, if I haven't achieved much, you'll start comparing with your female colleagues' families, and when you co back, you'll start picking on ."
"Why would you say that, you're making angry now."
"Darling, besides eating, we'll need money for getting married, buying a house, raising kids, and I plan to have at least two, so we need to save up for the fines!"
"Pfft, who wants to have that many kids with you! I never agreed to have kids with you!"
"If our kids don't co from you, where else would they co from?"
"You always start talking nonsense like that."
"See, with more kids, we'll need a bigger house, right? You know what kind of person my dad is, he has no gray inco.
We can't squeeze into my dad's assigned housing with kids in the future, right?
It would be so painful for you and my mom to see each other all the ti."
"I actually like living with your mom."
"Sorry, I just don't want to live with elders."
With his endless rambling, Zhou Yunyun on the other end of the phone had already been successfully distracted, moving out of the previous nightmare's emotions.
At this mont, sitting by the bed, Xiao Yingying seed to be so comfortable absorbing the ghost energy that she let out a short, heavy nasal sound.
"Binbin, what's that sound over there?"
"Oh, a coworker is watching an adult film."
"Did you... did you watch it?"
"Ha, I'm too lazy to watch tapes, I'm not a bachelor. When I go back, soone else will watch it with ."
"You keep talking even more recklessly, I'm not going to pay you any attention."
Xiao Yingying's breathing grew more rapid and heavier, her body began to tremble, the bed shaking along with it, making creaking sounds.
"Mm~ mm~ mm~"
"Hey, have so decency, turn down the volu!" Tan Wenbin paused and then added, "Honey, after I told them they're bachelors, they're deliberately getting back at ."
"Then get so rest, I'll hang up now."
"Mm, you too, relax, it won't be long before I can co back."
The call was disconnected from the other end.
Tan Wenbin turned his head, looking at Xiao Yingying sitting on the bed, her whole body trembling.
He was sure that Xiao Yingying wasn't trying to make a scene; she wasn't that boring.
She should have absorbed too much of his ghost energy recently, reaching a certain threshold, and now her body was undergoing changes.
Finally, Xiao Yingying stopped.
Under her skin appeared lines like veins, on her arms, neck, and face. Her brows beca more delicate and feminine, her eyes shimring with a black light.
Though she absorbed ghost energy, because she's a Deadman, under various special circumstances, she beca sowhat more "human" than before.
Perhaps ghosts are indeed more human-like than Deadn.
Xiao Yingying: "Sorry, I couldn't control myself just now."
Tan Wenbin: "It's okay, go find Brother Xiao Yuan tomorrow and have him check your body."
Xiao Yingying: "Okay, thank you."
Tan Wenbin: "How do you feel now?"
Xiao Yingying: "Pretty good, I feel less stiff than before, not just physically."
Tan Wenbin: "Congratulations."
"Thanks to you."
Xiao Yingying took the phone and the dicine bowl away.
Tan Wenbin lay with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
Once this phase ends, the two children can reincarnate into a good destiny, and he himself can return to being a normal person.
If it weren't for having a specific end ti to look forward to, he couldn't have persevered in the current state.
