In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

Staring at Xie Yanchuan for quite a while, Xu Jinzhi finally lowered his voice as if sharing a secret, "Xie Yanchuan, do you feel like your body has completely fused, that this body completely belongs to you now?"

"Mm." Xie Yanchuan replied heavily.

That’s exactly how it felt, the unreal sensation from the past few days had also vanished, and now he had an inexplicable sense of security.

It felt like everything was meant to be this way, and nothing seemed strange.

"Xie Yanchuan, I really missed you." Xu Jinzhi whispered.

Without giving Xie Yanchuan a chance to react, Xu Jinzhi leaned in and kissed Xie Yanchuan.

Xie Yanchuan was initially stunned, but then quickly regained his composure, and what followed became a bit unpredictable.

Xie Yanchuan gently closed his eyes, simply driven by instinct to possess Xu Jinzhi; they shouldn’t be apart ever again, never again.

The following day.

When Xu Jinzhi woke up, Xie Yanchuan’s figure was no longer beside her, and she couldn’t help but frown.

For a moment, Xu Jinzhi also doubted whether it was all just a beautiful dream, but the discomfort in her body told her that it was more than just a dream.

Xie Yanchuan had already come to the underworld, had come to her side, and everything was arranged, they would always be together from now on.

At that thought, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but smile, climbed out of bed, and, without any rush to wash up, she put on her shoes and left the bedroom.

Just as she stepped out of the bedroom, Xu Jinzhi smelled a fragrance, clearly coming from the kitchen; she headed towards it.

Xie Yanchuan was preparing breakfast in the kitchen; hearing the noise, he turned to look and then saw Xu Jinzhi leaning against the doorframe, watching him.

"You’re up." Xie Yanchuan said warmly.

Xu Jinzhi nodded.

"Have you washed up?" Xie Yanchuan asked. "Breakfast is almost ready. If you haven’t washed up, go do that first."

"Okay." Xu Jinzhi nodded again in agreement, but she stood at the doorway, reluctant to leave Xie Yanchuan’s side.

"Go on, otherwise you’ll be late for work." Xie Yanchuan said, somewhat helplessly.

Xu Jinzhi pouted, seemingly reluctant, but she eventually obediently went to wash up.

By the time Xu Jinzhi got ready and came out, Xie Yanchuan had prepared the breakfast and set it on the table, waiting for her to join.

They finished their meal quickly, after which Xu Jinzhi got ready to leave. Xie Yanchuan had not yet gotten his underworld driver’s license, so he was unable to see Xu Jin off.

Watching Xu Jinzhi leave the house, Xie Yanchuan then returned inside, tidied up the household chores, changed his clothes, and left as well.

He had been here for several days now and was gradually getting accustomed to it; in fact, he just needed to pretend he was still alive, following the lifestyle from then, and he could navigate quite smoothly.

Xie Yanchuan first went to the supermarket, bought some groceries and some daily necessities, and kept an eye on everything around him on the way back.

Everything was too similar to the Human World.

On the way, Xie Yanchuan also encountered a scene he had never seen before, which was like the kind of fantasy dramas that Xu Jin once watched.

Several ghosts, their hands dragging long chains and faces displaying horror, were chasing after a few other ghosts. Those lesser spirits were no match for the larger ones and were quickly captured.

The smaller ghosts were shouting loudly, "I won’t go! I don’t want to be reincarnated again! Life as a human is simply too hard; I want to stay, I want to stay here!"

The giant ghosts merely responded with an icy voice, "You’re not qualified to stay here!"

Immediately after, those ghosts dissipated into wisps of smoke and vanished without a trace.

Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes, stunned by the scene unfolding before him.

There were quite a few onlookers—no, they should be called ghostly onlookers, for even Xie Yanchuan himself was no longer among the living, but a ghost.

Xie Yanchuan also learned from the gossiping ghosts that those with the long chains were ghost officers, and they had just now been capturing the spirits that stubbornly refused to be reincarnated.

Having understood the situation, Xie Yanchuan then continued on his way home, where he began preparing lunch.

Xu Jinzhi had spent a hectic morning at the company and only managed to get some free time by lunch.

Just as he was about to check in on Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi received a call from him first.

"Xie Yanchuan, what’s up?" While Xu Jinzhi felt that Xie Yanchuan’s timely call probably meant nothing urgent, he couldn’t help but worry a bit.

"It’s nothing, just time to eat. I’ve prepared lunch and am bringing it over," Xie Yanchuan’s gentle voice came through the phone.

"You’re coming over?" Xu Jinzhi was surprised, and while speaking, he was already standing up to quickly head outside.

"Mhm, I’m downstairs now. Should I come up, or will you come down?" Xie Yanchuan asked.

"Wait for me; I’ll be right down," Xu Jinzhi said, already heading outside rapidly towards the downstairs.

Soon, Xu Jinzhi reached the ground floor and saw Xie Yanchuan waiting there; he immediately called out, "Xie Yanchuan!"

Hearing the voice and looking up, Xie Yanchuan was already smiling.

Xu Jinzhi quickly reached Xie Yanchuan’s side. "There was no need to go through the trouble of bringing me lunch."

"I didn’t have much else to do at home," Xie Yanchuan said.

"Let’s go upstairs," Xu Jinzhi said naturally as he took Xie Yanchuan’s hand.

They quickly went up to Xu Jinzhi’s office and sat down together on the couch. "You certainly haven’t eaten yet."

"Right," Xie Yanchuan nodded, "I prepared enough for both of us; we can eat together."

While they ate, Xie Yanchuan recounted his morning’s encounters to Xu Jinzhi.

Frowning, Xu Jinzhi responded, "Next time you come across something like this, you should avoid it. Ordinary encounters are one thing, but you never know if there might be an evil spirit involved. Meeting an evil spirit would be troublesome."

Xie Yanchuan asked with some surprise, "There are evil spirits here?"

Xu Jinzhi nodded vigorously, "These past few years, the underworld has been heavily developing technology. It can be said that the underworld has more and more prospects for development, and with more opportunities, naturally, there are ghosts that exploit loopholes, just like in the human world."

"It’s said that initially, those who stayed behind were humans with great merit, but as times have changed, those who remain are no longer as pure."

Listening, Xie Yanchuan gained a deeper understanding of the underworld’s state; it wasn’t as peaceful as he had thought.
