Chapter 878: The Psychic Master 42

After taking a quick shower, He Tongyang changed into his pajamas and walked out. When he saw Tang Wan still sitting by the bed playing games, a quiet sense of relief settled in his chest.

Noticing him, Tang Wan immediately turned off the game and waved at him with a smile. “Tongtong, come here.”

“Mm,” he replied, though his heartbeat had already begun to quicken uncontrollably.

When he walked over, Tang Wan tilted her head and said teasingly, “Tongtong, your heartbeat seems a little fast. Are you feeling unwell?”

Hearing this, He Tongyang grew even more flustered. Was it really that obvious? She could hear it?

“N-no, I’m fine,” he said quickly. “Maybe it’s just a bit hot.”

Tang Wan put on a disappointed expression. “Really? I thought it was because of me. If I still had a heartbeat, it would probably be racing just like yours right now.”

He Tongyang froze.

It is because of you.

But the words felt too embarrassing to say aloud. Still, after hearing her, he took a breath, gathered his courage, and looked at her seriously. His ears flushed red as he spoke, voice low but steady.

“…Yes. It’s because of you. Now that you have a body, I don’t have to hug empty air anymore. I’m just… really happy. And excited.”

Tang Wan’s eyes curved into a bright smile. “So Tongtong is just as happy as I am.”

“Mm,” he nodded.

In the next moment, he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms again. After holding her for a while, he finally lowered his head and did what he had been wanting to do for so long.

And this time, what he touched was no longer empty air.

Although Tang Wan was just as happy about their real, tangible closeness, a thought quickly surfaced in her mind. She forced herself to come back to her senses, her tone turning serious.

“Tongtong, I might pass ghost energy to you. If that happens, you must remove it immediately,” she said softly. “Otherwise, over time, it could affect you.”

He Tongyang smiled faintly, squeezing her hand. “It’s fine. I’m not affected by such things. Your presence won’t cause me any harm. In fact, you don’t feel like you carry any yin energy at all now. On the contrary… being near you feels comfortable.”

Before, her spirit had already been pure, so even after years of staying together, he had never been affected. Now, it was even less of a concern.

Only then did Tang Wan relax.

The two lay down together, facing each other. Their eyes met, and they couldn’t help but smile. Slowly, the distance between them closed again, warmth lingering quietly in the room.

At that moment, the familiar system voice sounded:

“Ding! The villain’s favorability has increased by +1. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and successfully preventing the villain from destroying the He family. Do you wish to remain in this world?”

Tang Wan didn’t hesitate.

Of course she wanted to stay. Even if it was only for one more day, she still wanted to remain by He Tongyang’s side.

Since ghosts didn’t need sleep, Tang Wan spent a long time quietly watching his sleeping face. Her gaze softened as she let out a faint sigh.

She had never expected that one day she would become a ghost… and still end up with someone like Tongtong.

Seeing this, Little Cutie couldn’t help but speak up:

“Host… your taste… is it getting heavier?”
