Zombie Boyfriend Purchase Guide - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Right now, I was sitting on the sofa with a flushed face, trying to calm my racing heart.

How could someone just pull you into a hug the moment you meet? And he was so strong, as if he wanted to rub me into his very bones and blood.

“Did I make you uncomfortable?”

The boy called Wu Gu sat quietly across from me. He revealed two sharp fangs as he looked at me uneasily, his fair fingertips clutching his sleeves.

He pursed his lips. “Could you please not return me? I don’t want to be disposed of as a defective product.”

The corners of his eyes were narrow and long, tinged with a reddish hue, looking as if he might burst into tears at any second.

He didn’t look like an ancient Jiangshi who had lived for hundreds of years; instead, he looked like a clever little fox full of spiritual energy.

He was impossibly well-behaved.

As the honorary president of the Appearance Over Everything Club, I instantly forgot the soreness in my arms. I hurriedly handed him a bottle of milk and forced a smile.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to drink…”

Before I could finish, the boy curled his lips into a smile, his two Jiangshi fangs reflecting the light with a white glint.

Only then did it hit me that he was a Jiangshi-he probably drank human blood.

I silently withdrew my hand, the atmosphere turning a bit awkward.

Just then, the chandelier flickered. I took the opportunity to pull the milk back completely.

Damn it, the supernatural events were finally starting.

If this kept up, I’d be so embarrassed I’d curl my toes right through the floor.

In the darkness, the boy’s red pupils flashed for an instant. Before I could react, someone lunged into my arms. Cold hair brushed against my collarbone, sending a ticklish sensation through me.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”

A second later, the lights returned to normal.

The boy pulled away from my embrace, dangling a small child wearing a traditional bib in his hand.

The moment he looked down at the Little Ghost, his smile vanished entirely, replaced by a chilling Ghostly Aura.

“Caught one.”

He tightened his grip, his sharp nails sinking almost instantly into the Little Ghost’s flesh, making it wail in pain.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

The Little Ghost sobbed, wiping away tears. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have tried to scare people.”

It turned to look at me with teary eyes. “Big Sister, I didn’t want to hurt you. I was just so bored.

“I just wanted someone to play with me.”

The surprise on my face hadn’t faded yet. This Little Ghost looked like a child only a few years old; it was clearly exploiting human sympathy!

I hesitated. The boy’s eyes crinkled slightly as if he had read my mind. He leaned down and asked me, “You decide. Kill it or release it?”

“How are they usually handled?”

“Hand it over to a Ghost Officer. A Judge will make the ruling. If it has taken a human life, it will be sent to hell.”

“Let’s do that then.”

After I spoke, I saw the Little Ghost visibly heave a sigh of relief. To it, the person standing right in front of it was clearly far more terrifying than any Judge.

Didn’t the shopkeeper say this Jiangshi was the weakest one?

I felt a bit confused.

The boy released the trembling Little Ghost. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he gave me a shy smile.

“Just now, I hugged you once. Now, you’ve hugged me once.

“Are we even now?

“You won’t return me anymore, right?”

I blinked. How on earth did that make us even?!
