My Ghost Lover Is Too Annoying

86. The Madman Eating Dirt

Translator: Haunted

Chang Baisheng waited silently for a while, and after Chen Ming was relaxed and took his hand away, she suddenly asked loudly, “So you don’t want me to say the word ‘jealous’?”

This time Zhou Nan heard it clearly. It seemed that there was nothing to guess about. It was just that Chang Baisheng found that Chen Ming was upset, and then she just guessed right about the reason. Zhou Nan didn’t know why Chen Ming was jealous. Seeing that the man who was always so unpredictable had finally shown his real emotions, Zhou Nan was actually a little glad about it.

Chen Ming was caught by surprise. He didn’t know if this little girl was really stupid or did this intentionally. So he quickly put his hand back on her mouth, glanced at Zhou Nan and gritted his teeth as he said, “Why did you say it when I told you not to? Are you sent by the gods to punish me?”

Chang Baisheng couldn’t understand why she couldn’t say the word “jealous”. She had been talking all the way, and said a lot of things. How come Chen Ming only covered her mouth when she said this? She blinked her big eyes and looked innocently at Chen Ming.

Did Zhou Nan hear that? Why didn’t he react? Chen Ming kept thinking about this secretly and continued to warn Chang Baisheng, “Don’t mention that again. Can you do it? Just nod if you can.”

Chang Baisheng nodded repeatedly, and then Chen Ming put his hand down again.

Zhou Nan couldn’t imagine how Chen Ming would react if he laughed at Chen Ming for being jealous. Although it was funny to think about it, he still wanted to let Chen Ming go. So he reached out his hand and shook it, “What are you muttering about? If you don’t follow closely, you’ll be left behind!”

Chen Ming, who was originally very thoughtful, was actually silly enough to believe that. He coughed twice and replied calmly, “I know.” Then he trotted over.

Zhou Nan finally didn’t have to walk awkwardly in the middle. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Ming and kept a few meters away from Liu Ming.

A few minutes later, Liu Ming and Chang Baisheng acted abnormally almost at the same time. The ghost and the immortal both became alert obviously. Chang Baisheng skillfully jumped, and moved to the front with two or three steps. Chen Ming’s reaction was faster than Zhou Nan. He started running first, trying to catch up with Liu Ming who suddenly accelerated.

That was the first time for Zhou Nan to compare with Chen Ming as two human beings. He found that Chen Ming was really fast, and it was reasonable for Chen Ming to leave all those behind on Poppy Mountain. Even if he had tried his best to run, he could still only watch the distance from himself to Chen Ming gradually became longer.

Chen Ming soon realized that too. He not only slowed down a bit but also reached out to Zhou Nan and said, “Grab my hand.”

How could a man hold someone else’s hand and run like a little girl? Zhou Nan immediately refused, “Don’t worry about me. Go chase Liu Ming first. I… I won’t be left behind.”

After hearing this, Chen Ming did not hesitate like what an emotional TV drama would show. He turned back and got back to the normal speed. It might seem too cruel for him to do this, but it was actually ration and trust that forced him to do this.

Although Zhou Nan said so, he could barely keep up on the second half of the way. He could only run forward blindly and his lungs felt burning. Sweat dropped into his eyes, blurred his vision, and somehow a while later, he saw two people standing with their backs to him. One was tall and the other short. When he got closer, he recognized that was Chen Ming and Chang Baisheng.

Zhou Nan almost finished the last two or three steps with the inertia effect. He was kneeling down directly beside Chen Ming, with his hands against the ground. He was out of breath and his sweat dripped down into the dirt.

He wondered why the two of them were standing here like two pieces of wood. But he didn’t have the energy to observe why. As his breath gradually calmed down, he heard the sound of a small scratch and swallow. He raised his face to look and was indeed shocked by the scene in front of him.

Liu Ming also stood still not far away. A man was lying beside him, in an ungraceful posture, and staggered like a madman.

Zhou Nan shook his head and lifted his hand to wipe out the sweat. He did not mind getting dirty by the mud on his hands.

This made him see more clearly.

The “madman” dug up the mud on the ground, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it down. His nails should have been chopped a lot by that kind of strength. And clearly he had started to retch, but he didn’t intend to stop at all.

Zhou Nan’s throat got tight because of this and he even felt a bit queasy.
