78. Sleeping on One Bed

The butler wanted to help bring the luggage upstairs, but got rejected by Chen Ming. They were both young men with arms and legs, so why bother?

They booked a standard room. There were two beds.

Chen Ming threw his luggage down and jumped onto the bed close to the door, rubbing his face frantically, “All that smile made my face stiff.” Sure enough, it was really tiring to force a smile all the time.

Zhou Nan did not feel any fatigue. After all, he only followed them and didn’t say a word, keeping a very low profile. Only Chen Ming caught him by surprise once, and made him flush. He guessed that Chen Ming must be thirsty after all the work, so he found the kettle and prepared to boil some water.

“That Liu Qi is just a bad boy, isn’t he? If I’m his brother, I’ll blow his head off!” After saying that, Chen Ming waved his fist.

“So what did you see exactly?” Zhou Nan covered the lid of the kettle, and the small heating noise soon came after it was turned on.

Chen Ming straightened up and crossed his legs, “Have you ever heard of ‘raising a baby ghost’?”

Zhou Nan nodded, “Just use the baby… and umm… after doing something… then offer sacrifices to it.” He was amused by his own incoherence. He knew the definition, but he could only tell very little of its meaning.

Chen Ming snapped his fingers, “That’s almost what it means. Just give it good food, drinks and a little bit of your own Yang Qi, then let it help with things like giving you fortune and good luck.”

“That golden statue is… a real baby.”

Chen Ming didn’t confirm directly, and he continued to say out his thoughts, “I’ve been confused about the cause of Liu Ming’s death. It’s not about that he died from a fall from a height, but why he fell from a height. When we were there with him, his mental state was obviously not right. The police confirmed that he had committed suicide, indicating that there were no suspicious people around him. If it was assumed as an accident, then why did a person who did not want to kill himself go to the top floor and then tremblingly fall down?”

Zhou Nan couldn’t think it through immediately, so he took some time to digest. Chen Ming also stopped and waited for Zhou Nan’s response.

“So… you just guess that someone is raising a baby ghost?”

Chen Ming chuckled and waved his hand, “No, there are countless methods of similar effects. I’m not involved in criminal investigation. I can only think about the spiritual aspect. My guess is that Liu Qi used something, so I had some predictions. After seeing the little golden statue in the room, I got suspicious. I couldn’t tell if it was made of a real baby, but Liu Qi’s extremely guilty response gave me the answer.”

Chen Ming noticed the little golden statue quickly, played with it casually, and questioned Liu Qi immediately. Even Zhou Nan thought that Chen Ming had seen through all from the beginning. That acting was too vivid.

“After benefiting from it, Liu Qi will definitely not throw away the little golden statue. We have to deal with it.” While speaking, Chen Ming sighed deeply, “But now we’re kicked out of the house. The guards at the door are all serious security guards. It’s definitely not easy to go up the mountain.”

Zhou Nan had an idea, “Aren’t we going back to release Liu Ming’s soul from purgatory?”

Chen Ming snapped his fingers, “Smart, that’s what I mean. So I’ll leave the wake matter to you in the bungalow. And I will sneak into the mansion.”

“What?” The plan seemed to be different from what Zhou Nan expected, “I… do the wake? But I don’t know how to do it…”

“It’s very simple. Just keep the candle on. I’ll teach you the details then.”

“And what about now?”

“Now I have to get familiar with the scriptures. It’s been a year and a half since I did it last time. It’ll be bad to forget in the middle of reading.” He jumped off the bed and went through the old book he brought, “Go take a shower first. I’ll go later.”

“Oh, OK.” Zhou Nan ran into the bathroom with the clothes to change.

Chen Ming held the book and went back to the bed, mumbling.

Half an hour later, Zhou Nan had finished the shower and appeared in front of Chen Ming, with vaguely hot steam on his fair skin.

“You’re done?”

“Yeah, it’s your turn.” Zhou Nan was not used to using a hairdryer, so he was wiping his hair manually with a towel.

Facing such a soft and cute lover, it was simply unreasonable not to grasp the opportunity to get close. Chen Ming stood up, gently hugged Zhou Nan’s waist, and kissed Zhou Nan on the face. The smell of the bath liquid mixed with some milk scent came to his face, “Go to sleep, change your body clock these two days, and make sure you can stay up energetically the night after tomorrow.” After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Nan to react, he took his clothes and went into the bathroom.

Zhou Nan rubbed his face which had been kissed. He felt extremely happy. He looked down at Chen Ming’s bed, then looked up at the bed in the distance that seemed to belong to him, and unexpectedly chose to lie down on the one close to him. He got into the quilt, and felt the smell of Chen Ming.

When Chen Ming came out after taking the shower, he saw the little bulge in his bed. He didn’t either laugh or cry at this situation. It was reasonable for Zhou Nan to sleep with him in the flower shop where there was just one bed, but here were two beds, and Zhou Nan still wanted to sleep with him?

‘Okay, let’s see which one of us could win the bed.’

Chen Ming lifted the quilt and tried to get in.

The temperature of the air conditioner was a bit low and it was just fine with a thick quilt covering his body. Chen Ming lifted the quilt and the sleeping Zhou Nan felt a cold wind coming in, so he instinctively moved to the warm place inside.

Chen Ming successfully lay in and whispered, “Hey, move inside. There’s still space behind you. But I’m about to fall off.”

The cold wind was gone and replaced by a big warm body with moisture. Zhou Nan naturally did not move back, but instead leaned in and hugged Chen Ming. He rubbed his face gently on Chen Ming’s chest, with some sleeping talk that no one could understand.

Chen Ming had no other choice. He could only stretch out the arm to balance himself, and let Zhou Nan use him as a pillow. He rubbed the back of Zhou Nan’s head and whispered resignedly, “My dear, you are really annoying.”
