A genuine male ghost seme × a timid, ghost-fearing office worker uke
Shen Yu was haunted by a ghost. He’d only wanted to help it move on, but he’d gone to the wrong god and prayed to the wrong Buddha, getting thoroughly conned in the process. Now all he could do was tend to the ghost and pray it wouldn’t hurt him. But how had things turned around while he was looking after it!? The ghost was a good one, taking care of him in every way: cooking meals and laying out his clothes, all for Shen Yu to enjoy. Shen Yu sank into the male ghost’s tender embrace and sometimes thought, “A comfortable life like this has its own charm!” But as the two grew closer by the day, Shen Yu hit the brakes!
“W-wait! What are you doing? What’s going on? I’m a straight guy, okay?!”
Xie Qingzheng watched the frog slowly boiling and smiled. “Straight or not, this is just how life goes...”
Shen Yu paused, then let out a puff of smoke. “I need some time alone.”
Xie Qingzheng plucked a wad of tissue from his mouth. “Who’s Alone? It’s just Qingqing now.”
Xie Qingzheng gently tugged the end of the red thread left behind when Shen Yu had left, and murmured, “There isn’t much time left... Let me... love you for a little longer.”
