Hiding behind the staircase on the second floor and peering down, they were startled.
Knowingly, Zhi Xian squinted his eyes.
In panic, Wu Mabo covered his mouth with his hand.
Tong Xiaosong grabbed Zhi Xian’s arm tightly, his eyes wide open.
They saw Wang Yu sitting on the sofa like a wooden puppet, motionless.
In front of him sat a corpse, swollen all over, with maggots crawling over it.
Different from the charming voice, this corpse was highly decomposed, to the point where its gender couldn’t be discerned. Completely naked, it oozed corpse oil, and with a slight movement, maggots fell off it, crawling and wriggling on the ground.
Tong Xiaosong felt like vomiting. He silently pulled Zhi Xian’s sleeve to cover his own mouth and nose.
Wen Dong’s face turned pale. He held on for a while, but after seeing that corpse cut a piece of flesh and feed it into Wang Yu’s mouth, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth with his hand.
The corpse emitted a sweet voice, “Is the food I made delicious?”
Wang Yu mechanically chewed, corpse oil dripping down his mouth, and wriggling maggots shattered between his teeth.
“Giggle, look at you eating. Come and try this…”
The corpse cut another piece from its abdomen, which was no longer recognizable as meat but a mass of decay.
Tong Xiaosong didn’t even want to continue watching. Before he could close his eyes, he felt Zhi Xian move.
Zhi Xian stood up and gestured to everyone. They quietly returned to the closet.
Wu Mabo lowered his voice to a whisper, “What the fuck was that? I thought it was one of those seductive female ghosts…”
Zhi Xian raised his hand and closed his eyes, tilting his head back. “Wait a moment, let me calm down before speaking…”
Everyone:…
Tong Xiaosong couldn’t help but look up at Zhi Xian. He thought Zhi Xian might not notice. Thinking about the scene just now, he quickly buried his face in Zhi Xian’s clothes and took a deep breath, the strong scent of sandalwood helping to alleviate his nausea.
Zhi Xian lowered his head with a smile, pressing against Tong Xiaosong’s neck. “Don’t just suck on me, let me have a taste too.”
Wu Mabo had a vacant expression, completely spaced out. “…Yeah, we need to calm down.”

“It’s not that powerful, just troublesome,” Zhi Xian sighed rarely. “It’s a Yin Corpse, a corpse with intense resentment that died a violent death. Its head should have a metal object inserted into it, and it’s buried vertically. The difficulty lies in the fact that we must find its body to deal with it. If we can’t find the body, the thing outside now is virtually indestructible.”
Tong Xiaosong asked, “Can’t your fire do anything to it?”
“My fire isn’t omnipotent,” Zhi Xian said somewhat helplessly. “Once we find the body, my fire will be useful, but for now, that thing outside, it can’t be burned…”
Wu Mabo’s voice was filled with lament, “It seems like Wang Yu is doomed. We can’t find the body at all, and we don’t even know that ghost. Who knows where it’s buried…”
Zhi Xian replied, “Its body is definitely inside this house, buried vertically. The scope is much smaller now. We can check the ground floor for clues, and I have a guess in my mind. The wall in the master bedroom, the thickness seems off.”
Wu Mabo was shocked, “You noticed the thickness issue?”
Wen Dong, being smarter than Wu Mabo, said, “Zhi Xian renovated the house, he dismantled all the walls. How could he not know the thickness of each wall?”
Tong Xiaosong nestled in Zhi Xian’s embrace and asked softly, “What should we do now?”
Zhi Xian replied, “We’ll wait for them to calm down, then we’ll go back home. Tomorrow during the day, we’ll come back to find the body.”
***
As they waited, it became the late hours of the night.
Wu Mabo despairingly took a deep breath, “Female ghosts don’t need to sleep, right?”
Zhi Xian replied, “Looks like we’ll have to wait until morning.”
Wen Dong remained silent.
Tong Xiaosong didn’t say anything. His face flushed, and he felt the urge to urinate.
He couldn’t understand why he was so weak. Everyone else didn’t seem to need to go, only him.
He always seemed to have problems at critical moments, even though he hadn’t drunk much water today.
Memories flashed through his mind of the time he wet himself in the classroom. His face went pale, and he didn’t want to go through that embarrassment again.
That incident had been humiliating enough; now, especially with his best friends around and in front of Zhi Xian, he couldn’t bear to wet himself again.
If he wet himself, he couldn’t imagine how he would face them in the future.
But… what could he do?
It was clearly impossible to go to the bathroom now.
In the darkness, Zhi Xian felt the person in his arms trembling, and it felt… somewhat ambiguous.
He was familiar with this kind of trembling; it happened every time the other person was desperate to relieve themselves in bed.
His eyes scrutinized the person in his arms with confusion, finally settling on those tightly clenched legs.
Zhi Xian took a deep breath and said, “Xiaosong, can you move for a moment? I need to pee, I’ll just go to the corner.”
Tong Xiaosong: “…Huh?”
“Fuck, you’re going to pee now?” Wu Mabo couldn’t believe it. “Where are you going to pee?”
Zhi Xian was already standing in the corner, his back to everyone, undoing his pants. “I’ll just pee on the clothes. We can’t hold it, and I’ll compensate Wang Yu for the clothes along with the cost of cleaning and the wardrobe.”
As his words fell, everyone could clearly hear the sound of water.
All of them:…
Tong Xiaosong was lost in thought. Upon hearing the sound, he couldn’t hold it any longer. He also wanted to…
“Xiaosong, come over and pee. We have to wait until it’s daylight. If we don’t pee now, the smell will get worse after they’re done.”
Wu Mabo, Wen Dong:…
Before Tong Xiaosong could react, he felt a hand pulling him over, and then his pants were skillfully undone by those hands.
Zhi Xian hugged him from behind, blocking the view of the other two, although in the darkness, nothing could be seen anyway.
Facing the corner of the wardrobe, he felt Zhi Xian’s hand reaching into his pants, taking out his thing, and holding it with his hand.
Zhi Xian: “Take your time, no rush.”
Tong Xiaosong felt feverish all over, experiencing an unprecedented sense of shame. Although he was very urgent, he could clearly feel the other person’s hands, holding back the urge to pee…
Suddenly, he felt a moist and soft sensation on his earlobe, which was Zhi Xian’s tongue.
His body involuntarily shivered, and the sound of dripping water filled the air.
After feeling a sense of relief, Tong Xiaosong felt his lower abdomen relax.
After releasing it, Zhi Xian shook it gently with his hand, put it back, and straightened his pants.
Tong Xiaosong:…
Zhi Xian turned to the other two and said, “If you guys are in a hurry, don’t hold it in either. Anyway, the wardrobe is big enough, if this corner gets dirty, we can go to the other side.”
Wu Mabo gritted his teeth, “Fuck, I also need to pee. You guys go to the other side, I’ll go piss too.”
Arriving at a clean corner, Tong Xiaosong silently covered his face and squatted down. Under his slightly curled hair, his ears were glowing red.
Fortunately, no one saw it. If those two saw Zhi Xian holding him and helping him pee, the level of embarrassment would be similar to them seeing him wet his pants…
He suddenly realized that since high school, Zhi Xian had been watching him, and later he could even turn into a shadow and follow him.
Did Zhi Xian witness him wetting his pants?
So that’s why he quickly noticed something was wrong this time and acted so considerately.
Tong Xiaosong silently pursed his lips, knowing that incident would remain a lifelong embarrassment for him.
But just the thought that perhaps Zhi Xian was there beside him at that time, feeling sorry for him, maybe even embracing him and silently comforting him, made him feel like it wasn’t so bad after all.
His most embarrassing moments were seen by this person.
Although it was miserable and shameful, this person wouldn’t laugh at him, only empathize with him.
With this realization, warmth flooded his heart, and those dark past memories seemed to brighten up.
He wasn’t alone; he always had someone by his side.
Aww, if a person who have seen the worse and embarrassing moments of you and decidedly stays with you, that’s a keeper for sure <333
