Zhang Linfen looked at the woman in front of him with a knitted brow, the woman seemed to be frightened by someone or something, she didn't even notice his presence even when he walked towards her.
She had her knees up to her cleveage while hugging it tightly. Zhang Linfen coughed lightly as she finally looked at him with her bright blue eyes. Zhang Linfen was stunned,he has never noticed her eyes before, looking at it is like swimming in a deep blue ocean,her eyes was so clear that he couldn't stop himself from drawing closer to her.
She stood up and ran towards him hugging him,he was caught off guard by her sudden rush, he held her tightly not wanting to let go.
"Zhang Linfen,I....I...I saw a g...gg... ghost"she shut her eyes closely together with quivering lips. She had this phobia of ghost growing up in a dark and scary corner ever since she was in the Wen's home,as she grew up, she thought she had gotten over it but she didn't know it will still hunt her. She had just decided to walk round the whole mansion when she saw a shadow move pass her, she got over her fear and continued walking when there was one nor two but five shadows circling her.
The first name that came to her mind was Zhang Linfen but the words got choked up in her throat due to her fear.
She immediately blackout, when she woke up, she was in the corridor of the mansion, without a second thought, she rushed to Zhang Linfen room and curled still remembering that awful memory.
Immediately she saw him, she smiled and ran forward to hug him, she told him what she had saw, she might be the only adult who was scared of ghosts but that day in the Wen's mansion has been imprinted in her mind that matter how hard she tried to forget,it only got worse every minute.
Zhang Linfen saw her vulnerable state and knew that this phobia has something to do with the wen's, his heart clenched thinking of all the truamas his wife his wife had to endure,he took her to his bed but she won't stop hugging him like a koala bear.
He slowly coaxed her, stroking her hair feeling the softness of its texture,he continued stroking it until she fell asleep on his chest. He laid her on the bed and smiled at her posture, she was curled up like a ball.
He wore his robe and laid down beside her, kissing her forehead,it felt warm.
He felt her snuggle closer to him,he raised his arm and wrapped it around her waist closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
The meridian sun rose and shone brightly in Zhang Linfen's room as Li Xie rubbed her eyes tiredly and tried to get up when she felt something pulling her down, she looked at the other side of the bed and saw Zhang Linfen well sculpture sleeping face,her heart skipped a bit at their close proximity, she looked at her waist and saw his hand on it.
She blushed slightly remembering how she embarrassed herself in front of him because of her phasmophobia, she stared at his perfect face and stretch her hand to touch it stroking his cheeks when he opened his eyes. She was about to take her hand away,he held her wrist and dragged her towards him, she was on top of him.
She tried to get out of his hold but he was too strong,he smiled,this was what he wanted, waking up to see his beautiful wife by his side. He had actually woken up long ago but he saw her sleeping peacefully and decided to wait for her, when he felt her shift,he opened his eyes a little and stared at her hair when she looked at him and taking the initiative to touch him.
Li Xie blushed"Good morning".
"Good morning"he tried to sound cold but his voice still came out soft.
He released her and got out of the bed"what happened last night?"he asked her.
"What happened?"she tried feigning ignorance.
"You mean you don't realize how you hugged,kiss me and even initiated the deed"her ears turned red by his shamelessness.
"I did nothing of sort,i only hugged you because i was scared and nothing else"she yelled at him before realizing what she said but it was too late to take it back, she bit her tongue and cursed herself for being too naive.
"Would you mind telling me?"he asked again.
"Fine,i have phasmophobia. It happened when i was nine years old. I was in my room sleeping when i started hearing weird noises around me,i woke up and looked around, when i saw nothing,i decided to go back to sleep but the noise won't quit. I eventually stood up and went to find the source of the noise,i went outside my room. Every where was dark so i couldn't see anything when i saw the most scary thing that haunted me through out my entire existence"she looked at the man reaction,he was looking at her with a look that shows that he is very much interested in hearing her.
