"No—nothing is more important than your business."
After Xu Qingzhi finished speaking, he showed a bright smile to Lin Ting.
Lin Ting, however, could faintly feel the condensed silence before the storm.
But she still snuggled into his arms, her fingers faintly traced the soft flesh of his waist, and said softly: "Husband, you are so kind."
Xu Qingzhi's breathing became a little heavier. He silently moved away from her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"good."
Where Lin Ting couldn't see, Xu Qingzhi's affectionate eyes were filled with black vortexes.
"Sir, miss, it's time to eat."
Aunt Li's cold voice sounded behind the two of them.
Lin Ting clearly saw a trace of disgust flashing in Xu Qingzhi's eyes, but he still stood up and said coldly: "I know."
He walked into the bedroom, changed into a pair of silk gray pajamas, and sat next to Lin Ting.
Xu Qingzhi took a piece of meat skin for her.
"Listen, you haven't eaten well recently. Come on, eating more meat and skin is good for your skin."
Lin Ting looked up and saw a tender look on his stern face.
She knew that it was all an illusion.
Once she refuses, he will immediately reveal his ruthless side and swallow her up bit by bit.
Lin Ting picked up the meat skin and chewed it in her mouth. The sour taste immediately filled her mouth, making her scalp numb.
She still grinned, "It's delicious, it's delicious."
But the next second.
She ran to the bathroom and vomited.
Just when all the flesh was flushed away in the toilet, Lin Ting's lips curved into a winning smile.
She turned around and saw Xu Qingzhi with a worried look on his face.
Lin Ting felt very guilty, "Husband, I'm sorry, my stomach has been really uncomfortable recently, and I can't even eat my favorite meat skin."
After saying that, she shed two tears and leaned in his arms aggrievedly.
Acting, she is professional.
Xu Qingzhi held her in his arms distressedly and patted her back to comfort her.
"We will go to the doctor tomorrow and we will definitely cure you."
Lin Ting nodded and touched his abdominal muscles through his pajamas.
The moment she left Xu Qingzhi's arms and walked to the bedroom.
Aunt Li held up the bone chopping knife and looked at her coldly at the kitchen door.
It was as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.
Lin Ting's heart trembled.
What scared her was not that Aunt Li looked like a ghost, standing there peeping at her sweet interaction with Xu Qingzhi.
But Aunt Li's skin is getting droopier and she's getting uglier at the same time.
It hurts the eyes.
Lin Ting's pace quickened and he immediately returned to the room.
The shattered painting had disappeared, leaving only the empty easel in the corner of the bedroom.
She handed the rice on the dining table to the bed, but Xiaobai just looked at it lazily in the darkness and did not move.
Just as Lin Ting was lying on the bed, Xu Qingzhi also walked in.
His cold hands hugged her tightly, while his hot hands clung to her lower back.
The cold scent of pine wood instantly enveloped her.
Lin understood instantly, and his face instantly turned red.
So shy, so shy.
Xu Qingzhi's cold lips kept biting her ear. Lin Ting clutched the sheets tightly and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"Ting'er, you will always be with me, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ting's shy thoughts disappeared instantly and were replaced by condensation.
Won't.
She said silently in her heart.
Xu Qingzhi didn't hear her answer and fell silent. He just gently held her warm fingertips.
"Crack."
The lights turn off and darkness falls.
Lin Ting fell asleep again.
Before her consciousness dissipated, that cold gaze fell on her, and her voice was low and sinister.
"But it's too late to regret it."
…………
"Shashasha..."
Lin Ting opened his eyes, and everything around him was blurry.
All he could see was an arm holding a paintbrush in front of him, painting on the canvas.
"Shashasha..."
She took a few steps toward the painting with bare feet.
The moment she came closer, her arm and brush disappeared in an instant. And the painting that was originally a few simple strokes gradually reflected the complete appearance.
The woman in the painting has a lightly powdered face, an elegant appearance, delicate eyebrows, and fluffy maroon waves that add a touch of softness. Especially those eyebrows and eyes that are just right are so beautiful that it makes people's hearts tremble.
Lin Ting recognized it. It was exactly the makeup she used in a movie she had filmed before.
How come it appears in the world of ghost stories?
Just as she was thinking this, her face in the painting gradually became distorted and became hideous and terrifying. The originally bright facial features gradually became distorted, and the skin began to become dry and cracked, showing a burnt black color.
Lin Ting was shocked and quickly took a few steps back.
At this moment, a pair of withered arms appeared in the painting, reaching out to her, trying to catch her.
The arms were getting longer and longer, and Lin Ting began to run towards the darkness, but accidentally fell to the ground, watching the sky full of big hands rushing toward her...
"ah!"
Lin Ting sat up and looked at the surrounding environment with rapid breathing.
Another nightmare.
She stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, only to see Xiaobai sitting on the balcony, his black fur had spread to his neck, looking at her coldly with his pupils raised.
The look in her eyes seemed to know what kind of dream she had, but she still chose to watch indifferently.
Lin Ting frowned.
Xiaobai is different today.
Xiaobai calmly moved his eyes and looked out the window.
It was clearly daytime, but the sky reflected an unexpected red color, giving off an ominous aura.
The wall covering has begun to fall off significantly, and the rich black color gives the room an eerie atmosphere.
Time is running out for copies.
Lin Ting was about to get up and wash up when he saw another painting appear on the easel.
The facial features of the person in the painting are not yet fully developed, and only the shape of the head can be vaguely seen. Gray hair had spread to his skin from both sides, and it was like there was something struggling to come out of his gray skin.
Rather than saying it is a human being, it would be more appropriate to describe it as an embryo.
The young man's body pressed against the embryo's head.
The dark tones make the whole painting particularly eerie.
This is definitely not a painting that a normal person can draw. It is more like a madman frantically expressing his inner urgency and anxiety.
Her eyes silently fell on the signature in the lower right corner.
Xu Qingzhi.
His work again.
Lin Ting was almost able to sort out the threads, but there were still a few tight knots in the middle that had not yet been untangled.
And the moment she opened the bedroom door, Xiaobai let out a "meow" and rushed out of the bedroom door.
Lin Ting watched Xiaobai rush towards the cat food and start eating it with big mouthfuls.
When Aunt Li heard the sound of Xiaobai eating, she wiped her greasy hands on her apron, strode out and lifted up the back of his neck.
"Damn cat, I've caught you!"
There was a trace of cruelty in Xiaobai's sharp pupils, and he stretched out his sharp claws and scratched several bloody marks on Aunt Li's body.
For a moment, the skin broke, and Aunt Li's plump arms were exposed with white bones.
Lin Ting then saw that there was no fat under her skin at all.
It is only supported by a layer of human skin!
Aunt Li threw Xiaobai into the kitchen expressionlessly, but her voice was particularly cheerful.
"Hehe...you should also experience what it's like to be surrounded by mice...hehe..."
