Chapter 254
Chapter 254
When the Vampire saw the red mark on Yun Youyou’s face, he immediately shut his mouth.
Doctor Lan hurriedly lowered his head and continued observing the mosquito.
Both ghosts were extremely embarrassed.
Heaven and earth could testify that they had only wanted to kill the mosquito. They definitely had not slapped Yun Youyou on purpose.
Yun Youyou glanced at the two guilty ghosts.
“Hmph!”
She snorted, whipped her ponytail around, and left.
When there was no danger, those two ghosts were the greatest danger.
After her ponytail swept across their faces, the two guilty ghosts knew they were at fault and did not dare ask her to stay.
The scene shifted to the villa.
Sunlight streamed into the study, dividing the room into light and shadow.
Fu Yiming relaxed against his chair and leisurely turned the pages of a book.
[Ding!]
A crisp notice sounded in his mind.
Fu Yiming’s thin lips immediately pressed tight.
Nothing good ever followed that sound.
[The Player must adhere to his role in the Instance! Since the Player has failed to maintain his role for an extended period, the Game will now personally assign tasks to reinforce it.]
Fu Yiming frowned, instantly sensing disaster.
At first, he had remembered to maintain his role.
When the Game failed to remind him, he let down his guard.
He thought he had escaped, only to discover the Game waiting here for him.
“I don’t believe this is my fault. Everyone interprets a role differently.”
Fu Yiming defended himself calmly.
[Sorry. The Game determines whether a Player has followed his role. The Player has no right to appeal.]
Fu Yiming’s face darkened.
The Game was clearly determined to torment him.
[To make your white moonlight jealous, you deliberately display your consideration for Yun Youyou in front of Ji Lin.]
[New task: Complete 101 Affectionate Touches in front of your white moonlight. Time limit: 48 hours.]
[The Player must perform 101 affectionate touches with his wife. Failure to complete them within 48 hours will result in punishment. Player, please work hard to complete the task!]
The gloating in the Game’s voice only added fuel to the fire.
Scowling, Fu Yiming slammed his book shut.
The name 101 Affectionate Touches alone gave him a headache.
He knew the Game always followed through.
He had only one life. He could not gamble with it.
Fu Yiming sat in the study for a long while before finally standing and leaving.
How was he supposed to complete this ridiculous task?
Fu Yiming had no idea.
Yun Youyou entered through the front door with one hand over her face.
The human and ghost unexpectedly met in the living room, neither looking pleased.
“You…”
“I…”
They spoke simultaneously, then stopped together.
Fu Yiming ultimately spoke first.
Yun Youyou covered her face.
But both Doctor Lan’s and the Vampire’s hands were much larger than hers.
Fu Yiming immediately spotted the red mark hidden beneath her palm.
“What happened? Did someone hit you?”
Fu Yiming’s gaze abruptly chilled.
Yun Youyou did not want to complicate matters. Besides, the two ghosts had not done it deliberately.
“Of course not. I accidentally slapped myself while swatting a mosquito.”
Only then did Fu Yiming’s expression soften.
“I’ll get an ice pack for you. Otherwise, it’ll swell tomorrow.”
Yun Youyou also feared waking with a handprint on her face, so she did not refuse.
The villa had no proper medical ice packs.
He found a towel instead, put ice cubes inside, and wrapped them up.
The ice pack was ready.
Fu Yiming extended it toward Yun Youyou’s cheek.
Yun Youyou hurriedly said, “Give it to me. I can do it myself.”
Fu Yiming was about to hand Yun Youyou the ice pack when he suddenly remembered his task.
He turned his wrist, leaving Yun Youyou’s outstretched hand empty.
Hm?
Yun Youyou looked at him in confusion.
“I’ll hold it for you. It’s hard to position by yourself.”
Fu Yiming spoke with a perfectly serious face.
Yun Youyou did not understand what was so difficult about holding an ice pack.
But no matter what she said, Fu Yiming refused to give it to her.
Now Yun Youyou was thoroughly confused.
“Fine.”
She compromised.
As long as the ice pack reached her face, who held it did not matter.
The long-awaited ice pack was about to touch her cheek.
Fu Yiming suddenly stopped again.
Yun Youyou sighed helplessly.
“…What is it now?”
Fu Yiming asked, “Where is Ji Lin?”
Why had he suddenly asked about Ji Lin out of nowhere?
Yun Youyou said, “When I came downstairs, he was still with Keke in the small sitting room. He’s probably there now.”
“Then let’s go find him.”
Fu Yiming tugged Yun Youyou upstairs by her sleeve.
This counted as an affectionate touch too.
Unfortunately, touches that did not happen in front of Ji Lin did not count.
Yun Youyou was dragged upstairs in utter confusion.
Only after seeing Ji Lin did Fu Yiming press the ice pack to Yun Youyou’s face.
Yun Youyou: …
Ji Lin: …
Had this man come to provoke him?
Ji Lin glanced icily at the ice pack against Yun Youyou’s face.
“Did he do that?”
Yun Youyou quickly shook her head.
“No. I did it by accident.”
She was baffled too.
It was only an ice pack.
Why had they come all the way to Ji Lin?
She turned toward Fu Yiming.
Fu Yiming was distracted and did not notice her secret scrutiny.
[Beep! Congratulations. Player has completed one affectionate touch.]
The notice sounded only during the first second.
Even though Fu Yiming kept his hand on the ice pack, it did not sound again.
Apparently, one complete touch required making contact and then breaking it.
The Game was truly stingy.
Yun Youyou soon felt the ice pack begin moving.
It left her face for one second, then quickly returned.
Away, then back.
Yun Youyou: ???
She silently turned toward Fu Yiming. “What are you doing?”
Fu Yiming looked perfectly normal.
“I’m afraid you’ll get cold.”
Before Yun Youyou could speak, Ji Lin suddenly snorted.
“Then why not use a hot-water bottle?”
Fu Yiming: …
Sparks flew the instant the two men’s eyes met.
Yun Youyou looked thoughtful beside them.
What was going on between these two?
“All right, that’s enough for today.”
Yun Youyou pulled her numb face away from the ice pack.
She could not tell whether the swelling had gone down, but she certainly felt the cold.
During this icing session, Fu Yiming successfully completed more than thirty affectionate touches.
Seeing Yun Youyou no longer needed the cold compress, he took back the ice pack in disappointment.
“All right. If your face swells, come find me immediately.”
Ji Lin sneered.
“Are you a doctor?”
Fu Yiming toyed with the ice pack and raised a brow with a smile.
“Why? Are you sick?”
Yun Youyou felt the two men would start fighting at any moment.
[Ding!]
[New task unlocked.]
Fu Yiming froze, suddenly feeling terrible.
Was the Game about to cause trouble again?
[Love must be spoken aloud!]
