I and My Husband Sleep in a Coffin

er so many years, he discovered that girls were more like gold bars in a treasury, and far more difficult to obtain than said gold bars…

 

And Yi Yan seemed to have ‘that kind’ of feeling towards him.
It meant that Bai Yu, who was in his twenties and waiting for his better half, was both tangled and hopeful.

 

The straw's vacuum hunted down the last few droplets of Coke with a fierce slurp.[2]

 

Vague actions and ambiguities will inevitably make people miserable.

 

After much deliberation, Bai Yu decided to not fool around and just be forthright to see if the other party meant what he thought.

 

However, it was better to make insinuations first.
It would only embarrass both of them if he had misunderstood.

 

So Bai Yu first psyched himself thoroughly and questioned, “…Teacher, why are you being so good to me?”

 

The man walking in front of him came to halt.

 

Yi Yan did not turn around.
“Because you are my disciple,” he whispered, his footsteps accompanied by only a soft voice.

 

“Even though I'm your disciple, you're being too good…
You're about to completely spoil me like a child.” He was still carrying the lion toy figurine in his rucksack at this time.

 

“Um…
I guess I am.” Yi Yan cocked his head slightly, a faint gleam buried in the corners of his narrow eyes.
“Maybe because you are so well-behaved, I can't resist caring about you when I see you and think it's alright even if I spoil you all my life,” Bai Yu couldn't tell if he was joking or serious.

 

Bai Yu: ……
This means that you like me, right!? That’s what you’re saying, right!? Bai Yu, calm down! Don’t be anxious; chill.
Check out your straight serve!

 

Bai Yu blushed and murmured, “Is there a girl that Teacher likes?”

 

He was too preoccupied with shyly bending his head to notice that Yi Yan's face had stiffened and his fingers curled and extended after he asked this question.
He recovered and smiled again, but his eyes were filled with what appeared to be a painful memory as he answered, “There is.”

 

There is…

 

There is…

 

Bai Yu accidentally crushed the Coke paper cup in his hand, causing the plastic cover to pop up with the straw.
He tossed the cup in the nearest garbage can after a few drops of brown liquid dropped on his hand.

 

F*ck! Dumped before dating.

 

Bai Yu was heartbroken.

 

“Hehe, so you already have someone you like.
So how come I haven’t seen her come over? Is she a non-local?”

 

Bai Yu remarked casually, not wanting to disgrace himself.

 

The two resumed walking, and this time Bai Yu felt as though his footsteps were loaded with lead.

 

Yi Yan, who was walking in front, shook his head, “No, that's not the case.
She has passed away.
She’s been dead for a long time.”

 

Bai Yu: “!!!”

 

For the first time in his life, he secretly rejoiced in the death of another person.
Bai Yu silently spurned himself, but small red flowers danced over his head.

 

Bai Yu's head looks something like this

 

 

“Speaking of which, you two are strikingly similar, with the same large eyes, skin that tans more easily than average people, and the same cute and silly personality.” Yi Yan remarked, smiling.

 

What?!

 

What does this even mean? Don't tell me I'm a stand-in?!

 

Bai Yu now realized why the buddies who have lovers constantly have heart-saving meds on hand.
Shit! Who can stand these ups and downs that were like riding a roller coaster?

 

“So you take me as her substitute?”

 

“No, of course not.”

 

Yi Yan turned around, surprised.
“Why do you think so? You are you, she’s she.
I won’t be confused.
She’s been dead for many years, and my memories of her are mostly nostalgic.”

 

“Then, then, then…” Bai Yu stammered excitedly for a long time.

 

“Then what?” Yi Yan inquired, amused.

 

“Then, do you like me?!” He yelled loudly and immediately regretted it.
He wished he could drop everything and flee as he saw Yi Yan turn around.

 

If Yi Yan showed a disgusted expression, Bai Yu thought he’d jump into a river and drown himself.

 

But there wasn’t.

 

Yi Yan was neither disgusted nor repulsed, nor was he overly surprised.

 

He was simply stunned for a moment before smiling softly, reaching out his hand and lightly booping Bai Yu's glabella…

 

“I'm honored,” he said.

 

“……”

 

At that moment, the spring flowers bloomed and a hundred birds chirped.

 

Bai Yu plunged into his arms right away.

 

… … …

 

“It's over.”

 

“Mn.”

 

“It's all over!”

 

“Mn.”

 

“……”

 

“Can you please stop mn-ing! Shouldn’t we hurry back? God knows what Yi Yan's intention is! What if he took Bai Yu on as an apprentice solely to deal with us?!”

 

Wang Xiaomie was really quite apprehensive.
An Kai had already left, but he had left a bunch of clues, claiming that killing 'monsters' had become Yi Yan's insane obsession.
Even after twenty years, he still traveled to Qishan frequently with the aim of killing An Kai.

 

Wouldn't Yi Yan be even more eager to get rid of him and Wen Fengjin, these monsters who'd appeared on his doorstep?

 

In light of this, even the reason why the other party accepted Bai Yu as his apprentice had to be considered.

 

Wang Xiaomie was nervously running in circles, while Wen Fengjin was rubbing Mu Yi's large lizard head and seemed to be in a strangely happy mood.

 

“Wen.
Feng.
Jin!!!”

 

Wang Xiaomie snarled, prompting Mu Yi to turn and run.
Wen Fengjin's hand hung in the air, and his only reaction to Wang Xiaomie's anxiety was to pull back his hand, tilt his head, and murmur indifferently “Mn” once more.

 

That’s it.

 

Bang! Bang! Bang!

 

Wang Xiaomie exploded in anger.

 

What a perfunctory response!

 

Wang Xiaomie: …you're dead meat! Prepare to be beaten to death!

 

Seeing that Wang Xiaomie was really pissed off, Wen Fengjin lazily beckoned the little monsters in the distance, and after Mu Shi came over, Wen Fengjin stated while patting it, “He indeed wants to deal with us, but it’s also true that he will not hurt Bai Yu.”

 

Wang Xiaomie frowned, “Why?”

 

Wen Fengjin sneered.

 

“Oh, because he…”

It refers to mature and strong, beautiful and seductive women who give the impression of an older sister.
This term also appeared in Chapter 55.
