Li Luyao"s entire body tensed up.Although this man would be her husband starting from tomorrow, from the perspective of a living human, he and she were just strangers. She had no way to accept the fact that she was going to give herself over to a male stranger just like that.
But compared to the cold and oppressive pressure of a ghost that caused her to feel terror, the current living Lin Wu wasn"t that hard to accept.
She closed her eyes tightly and drew in a deep breath, preparing to accept the incoming storm.
However, what surprised her was that…
Lin Wu"s hand didn"t touch her body. He only helped to cover her with the blanket, from her legs to her shoulders. His movement was simple and clean with no additional movements.
Li Luyao involuntarily opened her eyes. She turned her head and glanced at Lin Wu who was holding the blanket.
"The air-conditioner is on, right? How would you sleep if you don"t cover yourself well with the blanket?"
Lin Wu sat on the bed. After covering her up, he smirked. "Why? You seemed very nervous just now."
Li Luyao saw the smug look on his face and knew that this fellow had seen through her. She couldn"t help but be embarra.s.sed.
"You...why…?"
She opened her mouth, but she felt like she couldn"t really ask. As for Lin Wu, he didn"t have any inhibitions and carefreely continued her sentence for her.
"Why didn"t I make love to you?"
When Li Luyao heard this, shyness involuntarily appeared on her face. This fellow...wasn"t his skin too thick?
However, she wished to know the answer, so she grunted in a light voice.
"Is there still a need to ask?" Lin Wu shrugged. "You can also be considered the savior of my life. How can I repay your grat.i.tude with enmity and take the chance to threaten or force you? If that"s so, wouldn"t I be too inhumane?"
Li Luyao fell silent for a while; it was unknown what she was thinking about. All of a sudden, she used the blanket to cover half her face, only revealing her eyes as she stared at Lin Wu. She then softly spoke, "Thank you."
Lin Wu didn"t say anything. He merely smiled and got off the bed.
"What are you doing?"
Li Luyao couldn"t help but start. Could it be that this fellow wanted to return to his room?
"I will naturally be sleeping on the sofa." Lin Wu glanced at her. "Who asked you to get this room where there"s only one bed. You can"t possibly allow me to sleep on the same bed as you, right? If I can only look but cannot eat, it would be too excruciating for me, right?"
"…"
Li Luyao"s gaze turned gentler. She continued in a low voice, "Thank you."
Lin Wu casually took out another blanket from the cabinet. When he heard her thanking him, he involuntarily laughed. "Fiancée, if you really want to thank me, you can take the initiative to push me down and enhance our relations.h.i.+p. We can be s.e.xually attracted to each other as well as emotionally. That would be perfect on both ends."
"Pui."
Li Luyao spat out with a blush, almost misjudged this. This fellow was still a hooligan to the end; all men are nothing good!
Lin Wu also didn"t bother with her. He hugged the blanket and went to lay down on a sofa not far away.
Before he slept, he habitually took out his phone to look at it.
When he did, he saw a bunch of notifications flooding the screen. These were notifications from the app named "author"s a.s.sistant".
"Strange, I thought I"ve already turned off the notifications?"
Lin Wu felt a little puzzled. He then opened up the author"s a.s.sistant, only to see that there were a few hundred posts on his book-review zone!
[Sir author, why are you not going back to your room to sleep?
Forget it, it"s fine if you don"t want to come back. But if you don"t update the novel properly, I will have to personally visit you to rush you for updates. (Shy emoticon)
The time is pretty late now, you should take a good rest. (smiley) (smiley) (smiley)]
He didn"t even need to see it to know that the poster was definitely the reader named "I have returned".
Those emoticons were extremely vivid, like the reader was really blus.h.i.+ng and smiling at him.
"It"s here again…"
Lin Wu drew in a deep breath. He wasn"t as fearful as before. After all, he was "experienced" now.
From the looks of things, although this reader was a ghost, it was still very courteous. At the very least, it wouldn"t randomly come out to scare people. In addition...it seemed that the reader had no intention of harming him.
Maybe he could converse with it?
Lin Wu thought for some time. He hesitated but eventually decided to reply to one of the posts:
"I will do my best to update the novel. Do you like the novel very much?"
After some time, Lin Wu refreshed the page. Another reply had indeed appeared under the post.
It seemed as if others couldn"t see the posts. The one who replied was naturally "I have returned". "Thanks, sir author for replying. I only like your novels."
Lin Wu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like this reader wasn"t a malicious ghost. At the very least, he still could converse with it in an amicable manner.
After thinking for a while, Lin Wu replied again, "Why do you only like my novel?"
He refreshed again, and the "I have returned" replied, "Because, the female lead in your novel is very similar to me. Why don"t I stick my head out for you to see? However, the screen of your phone is a little small, I don"t think I can squeeze my head out from there."
"..."
Lin Wu"s lips twitched slightly. Once he thought about a head sticking out of his phone, he felt his scalp turning numb. He hurriedly replied, "There"s no need for that. I just want to ask you a question. Are you a reincarnator from the future? Because, you knew that I would have died yesterday. Is that why you told me not to go out?"
I have returned: "Yup. Originally, this novel will only be updated with one chapter tomorrow. It"s sir author"s editor who posted it for you. He said that sir author has pa.s.sed away in a car accident and caused the book to be castrated. However, I can rest my heart at ease now seeing that sir author is still able to continue updating. Sir author, please die only after you finish writing the novel."
"..."
Lin Wu was speechless. So it turned out that...he himself wasn"t as important as his novel?
Hehe, wasn"t she a loyal reader?
"I have disturbed you."
Lin Wu suddenly felt like he didn"t wish to continue chatting. Hence, he replied, "Let"s chat again next time, I"m a little sleepy now."
I have returned: "Alright then. Nighty night~ I will continue to read the novel. After today, I would have read it for 482 times."
482 times?
Lin Wu started, he couldn"t help but ask, "Why do you have to read it so many times?"
I have returned: "Because, there"s a nasty troll on the book-review zone saying that this book is a rubbish book and that he no longer wishes to read it after about 800 times. I don"t believe it. Sir author"s book is so nice to read, even if I were to read it a thousand or ten thousand times, I would still like it. So I wanted to test it out. If I still feel that it is nice after reading it 800 times, I"m going to kill that internet troll who is talking bulls.h.i.+t."
Lin Wu started.
Such a post was also considered a troll post?
"What a rubbish book, I only read it 800 times before no longer wanting to read it." Such a post was clearly teasing, but the poster"s true intent was praising the book!
It was a little mischievous reader"s post, but this ghost wanted to kill the reader just because of this?
The ghosts were a little crazy as expected.
Lin Wu perspired in a cold sweat. He hurriedly replied, "You shouldn"t lower yourself to the level of an internet troll like that reader. In any case, they are also my readers. Even if their words don"t sound pleasant, you must not harm them in any way."
After some time, "I have returned" replied: "Alright then, I"ll spare those trolls. I"ll just give them a slight scare as a punishment."
Only now did Lin Wu heave a sigh of relief. He no longer dared to continue chatting, what would happen if she decided to come out from his phone"s screen? Hence, he replied, "Let"s chat again, I"m going to sleep now. Bye Bye."
He didn"t care about what the reader would reply. Lin Wu put his phone down and yawned, preparing to sleep.
When he was closing his eyes, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
The ghost reader said that she was very similar to one of the female leads in the novel?
Could the reader also be a cripple that lost her legs?
Or could she be a young orphan girl whose family had bankrupted?
What the h.e.l.l...
Really! Having a reader like this, he didn"t know whether it was a good or bad thing.
Oh yes, he had forgotten to ask. Why would she issue hundreds of posts with the same content every time?
In addition, it was like she didn"t spend any money to subscribe to the official version. Should he look down on her?
… Forget it, when it was possible to let ghosts off, he should do so. He wouldn"t bicker about this with her. (Don"t think that it"s because I"m scared, okay? I"m also very fierce after I die!)
