My wife is an invincible female ghost.

Chapter 28 "Understanding Others"

Xu Qingyuan bit her lip.

The bed was piled high with toys. She was hugging one in front of her and using another as a pillow.

After thinking for a moment, the female Taoist priest took a long caterpillar doll and placed several of them between the two of them.

Chu Shan was almost asleep when he heard the noise and suddenly opened his eyes.

Xu Qingyuan: "The Chu River and Han Border, if you cross it, I'll stab you to death with my sword."

"...Uh-huh," Chu Shan mumbled in response, still half-asleep.

He didn't think much of it; it was the right thing to do.

Then he closed his eyes again... He was really falling asleep. So sleepy.

But Xu Qingyuan remained wide awake in the darkness, her mind in turmoil, unable to fall asleep.

And so the two of them slept in the same bed but dreamed different dreams for a while.

In the darkness, Xu Qingyuan thought for a moment and decided to get out of bed again.

This time, Chu Shan was fully awake.

Because the woman was slowly moving at the foot of the bed, Chu Shan assumed she was getting up to go to the toilet, so he remained silent.

Until she stepped on his calf.

Chu Shan tried to hold back her screams, but it really hurt.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Xu Qingyuan quickly squatted down at the foot of the bed, put her hands together and apologized in a low voice.

A sudden idea led to a complete disaster.

She hadn't expected Chu Shan's legs to be so long. She had clearly walked along the edge of the bed.

Chu Shan could only rub his calves helplessly and say, "What are you going to do? You're sneaking around like a thief."

"I was just thinking of sleeping on the floor..."

She was able to sleep a little better when she slept on the floor.

It's nothing for a person who practices spiritual cultivation to suffer a little.

Or she could find another regular dormitory room. Even without a key, she could probably find a way to open the door. The only downside might be that the conditions in a regular dormitory room are worse.

Chu Shan: "..."

There isn't even a blanket here, so don't sleep on the floor.

The room was pitch black, and Chu Shan could only make out a blurry shadow huddled at the foot of the bed.

"Just sleep in the bed. It's a big bed, and I promise I won't touch you. Besides, with your abilities, what are you afraid of me doing to you?"

Didn't she just say that people from the martial arts world don't care about trivial matters?

Besides, they were so far apart, and they were wearing clothes. It was practically the same as sleeping on the floor.

Chu Shan could even feel a howling wind blowing in from inside the blankets in the middle.

Xu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I realize it's still not suitable; after all, you're already married."

...What did you say?

Even if he wasn't married, it wouldn't be appropriate for the two of them, a single man and a single woman, to be lying in bed together without any status or relationship.

But isn't this a special case?

"My wife won't mind," Chu Shan said.

"Huh?" Xu Qingyuan was taken aback.

Chu Shan said, "No, what I mean is that my wife is very understanding, and she will be considerate of me in this special situation."

"And we should be very open with each other, right?"

Chu Shan also felt that he was completely innocent!

It's not like he went off to drink, chat, and lie in bed with a female colleague after get off work.

This is a dungeon!

Actually, Chu Shan was still a little uneasy.

He trusted Lin Jing completely, but as for Lin Tang… after Feng Wan reminded him, he suddenly became a little worried.

Alas, it's hard to fathom a ghost's heart.

Xu Qingyuan remained silent for a while. She never expected that the word "understanding" would be used to describe Feng Wan.

"...Do you really think she's understanding?" Qingyuan asked.

Why can't she feel it?

"...Hmm." Chu Shan replied guiltily.

Putting aside her long fingernails, her almost shiny white hair, and all her inhuman little habits, she's actually quite understanding, isn't she?

"Okay." Xu Qingyuan was shocked.

It's her fault too.

She's actually starting to worry about whether it would be inappropriate for the two of them to share a bed. Her immediate priority should be to infuriate Feng Wan!

So Xu Qingyuan didn't utter a single word in rebuttal, but silently shrank back into the blankets.

They continue to sleep in the same bed but dream different dreams.

After a while, Qingyuan asked, "Are you asleep?"

"No," Chu Shan said.

Xu Qingyuan: "Can I ask you a question?"

Chu Shan: "Ask away."

"What does it feel like to kiss?"

"..."

He was already embarrassed, and she still asked.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Shan simply grabbed a toy and threw it at Xu Qingyuan's back.

"Don't ask," Chu Shan said.

Xu Qingyuan: "..."

"I'm going to sleep," Xu Qingyuan said.

"Um."

Then, the two of them tacitly fell silent.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

He slept soundly through the night. The next morning, as soon as Chu Shan opened his eyes, he saw Lin Jing's eyes, close to his and staring intently at him.

Two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, stared at each other.

Chu Shan stared in disbelief, nearly having his heart stop from being so frightened.

Seeing that he was awake, Lin Jing slowly took a step back. He seemed completely unaware that his actions might frighten Chu Shan.

"Breakfast," Lin Jing pointed in that direction.

He pointed in Xu Qingyuan's direction. If he didn't get up soon, that woman would eat all his breakfast.

That was bought for him!

Xu Qingyuan smiled; she had been awake for quite some time.

She sat there, already wearing her Taoist robe and earrings, but her hair was still loose and uncombed.

As a result, she gained a touch of gentleness and lost some of the aloofness she exuded as a "wise person".

She had already finished the bowl of sweet tofu pudding and two preserved vegetable and pork buns that Lin Jing had brought her. They tasted delicious.

It was obvious that Lin Jing didn't want to give her any.

But he couldn't beat her.

So all he could do was stare at her gloomily, raging helplessly.

Xu Qingyuan: Haha.

It's really fun to tease kids; watching this little devil get all worked up is quite amusing.

The two sisters have very different personalities... Chu Shan stared at her for a second or two, and then called her name.

"Lin Jing".

"..." The little girl always had a stern face, but when she heard Chu Shan call her name, the expression on her face softened a little.

He seems to have become a little happier.

She pursed her lips and responded to him.

"Chu Shan," Lin Jing said.

Chu Shan: "..."

...She was calling him "brother" yesterday.

Never mind, it's alright.

Let him call her by her full name; she's older than him, after all.

Chu Shan then got out of bed and said, "Wait for me to wash up."

He went to the bathroom, and Lin Jing followed him there, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Chu Shan glanced at her. He decided to brush his teeth first and not urge her to leave.

It's a good opportunity to strike up a conversation with her.

"Why are you here so early?"

"It's already dawn!" Lin Jing said hurriedly. She hadn't come to spy on them last night.

"I can testify," Xu Qingyuan said, raising her hand to watch the drama unfold. "She definitely didn't arrive until dawn."

They arrived a little early, which forced Xu Qingyuan to get up earlier.

Chu Shan spat out some water in front of the sink and casually asked her, "Where's your sister?"

"Do you care about your sister too?" Lin Jing's eyes widened.
