Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

In truth, Jiang Cheng wasn’t clear why he had fallen for A Silly Cutie. They hadn’t known each other for long.

When exactly did it happen?

Looking at A Silly Cutie with her small arms outstretched, her charming and adorable appearance,

Something deep in Jiang Cheng’s heart seemed to be stirred.

“Maybe… it’s because no one would like a skeleton.”

Jiang Cheng suddenly had a moment of clarity.

Although he was composed by nature, he had to admit that after his rebirth, he felt in his heart that his current identity could no longer be considered human.

Perhaps deep down, he harbored a slight feeling of inferiority.

Especially when Qian Shanxue first met him and said “you’re so cold,” it made him feel particularly painful.

He finally realized that there was a significant difference between himself and others.

Sometimes, he would feel some disgust towards his current identity, not wanting to burden others.

But A Silly Cutie had never shown any sign of disliking him from beginning to end.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t tell if he had agreed to be with A Silly Cutie because he was moved by her kindness.

Jiang Cheng truly couldn’t distinguish, and looking at her asking for a hug, he didn’t want to.

Jiang Cheng smiled, not opening the room’s windows to let sunlight dispel the dimness, but slowly walked over and gently embraced her.

Soft fragrance enveloped him as Jiang Cheng held her slender waist, looking at her pretty face up close. He brushed some stray hair from her forehead and kissed it gently.

“Hehe.”

A Silly Cutie seemed very happy with Jiang Cheng’s actions and nuzzled her little head hard into his embrace.

“Doesn’t it hurt? Am I too bony?”

Jiang Cheng held her, gently inhaling the fragrance of her hair, caressing her silky locks, his tone becoming soft.

The dim light now shone on the two of them, casting a long shadow that looked very cozy.

“It doesn’t hurt, hehe.”

Although Jiang Cheng’s body was all bones, A Silly Cutie didn’t mind at all.

“Silly girl, why do you like me? I’m just a skeleton, heh.”

Remembering Qian Shanxue’s evasion and Fist Sage’s sigh, Jiang Cheng let out a long breath.

“I don’t know either, I just really really really like Skeleton Big Brother.”

A Silly Cutie, buried in Jiang Cheng’s embrace, said very happily.

“But why does Skeleton Big Brother always like to call me silly? I might be a bit slow, but I’m not silly.”

A Silly Cutie pouted slightly, seemingly quite concerned about this nickname.

Seeing her ask questions in such a silly manner, Jiang Cheng’s smile deepened, and he said gently, “I just want to preserve your innocence.”

“But, but, but I’m really not silly.”

“I know, you’re not only not silly, but you’re also a little clever one.” Jiang Cheng pinched her little nose.

“Skeleton Big Brother, you… seem different today.”

Although A Silly Cutie was naive, she cared too much about Jiang Cheng and paid special attention to his every move.

So when Jiang Cheng’s mood changed, she immediately sensed it.

“Skeleton Big Brother, do you have something on your mind? You don’t seem very happy.”

“Are you… happy?” Jiang Cheng stroked her head, “In the future, you don’t need to keep everything bottled up inside, hiding your negative emotions.”

“I want to see the real Mengmeng, who has all kinds of emotions, not just the good side. When she’s happy, she’ll be coquettish, and when she’s angry, she’ll throw tantrums…”

“You’re the one throwing tantrums.”

Jiang Cheng’s words were interrupted by A Silly Cutie.

But Jiang Cheng covered her little mouth,

“It’s hard to always be a good person. Everyone has a temper, you can’t possibly be born like this. You’re just always thinking of others first and hiding your true self.”

What Jiang Cheng was saying now was indeed his biggest impression from his time with A Silly Cutie.

This girl always wore a sweet smile on her face, and even when she occasionally got angry, she would immediately adjust her attitude.

“Being with you is very comfortable because you never compete, never grab, always thinking of others first in everything.”

“But thinking carefully, Mengmeng, you’re only 18 years old.”

18 years old is the age when youthful spirits are strongest, full of passion, acting impulsively, never thinking of consequences.

Once they set a goal, they would pursue it without hesitation.

This is what 18 truly looks like.

As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he found his hand bones were covered with a mist.

It was tears falling from A Silly Cutie’s eyes.

But Jiang Cheng didn’t wipe them away. Instead, he took out a mountain-shaped pendant from his cloak, reached around her neck, and carefully hung it on A Silly Cutie’s pink neck.

“Fortunate to be loved, mountains and seas are no obstacle.”

Jiang Cheng picked up the pendant on A Silly Cutie’s collarbone and read the inscription on it.

“Pfft…”

A Silly Cutie tilted her head back, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly laughed, though with a hint of a sob.

“Skeleton Big Brother looked so silly just now.”

A Silly Cutie said while wiping her tears and sniffling, “But I really like it so much, what should I do?”

After saying this, she threw herself into Jiang Cheng’s embrace, her little hands constantly patting his chest bones, “If… if you get tired of me in the future, what should I do?”

“I won’t.” Jiang Cheng held her soft body tightly and whispered in her ear.

“If, if you get tired of me in the future, can you… can you tell me in advance? I… I will leave quietly, I won’t bother you.”

“Why would you think that?” Jiang Cheng’s expression suddenly became serious because he felt A Silly Cutie wasn’t joking.

“Because… Skeleton Big Brother is too outstanding, you… and I… I’m just an ordinary person.”

A Silly Cutie’s expression suddenly became downcast.

She had always been worried in her heart. Jiang Cheng was too excellent, whether it was his previous life’s identity or now.

He was always someone who could rival anyone in the world.

Such a great figure seemed too distant for her.

Moreover, it was too coincidental that her favorite idol had become her boyfriend.

She always felt like she was still dreaming, and that one day, he would leave her because of her ordinariness.

That’s why she was somewhat eager to give herself to him, vainly hoping… to make him cherish her.

But… Jiang Cheng’s current identity.

“So when I call you silly, you still deny it.” Jiang Cheng tapped her forehead,

“We’ve exchanged rings, you’re wearing the necklace, we’ve made vows, what do you think we haven’t done yet?”

“But… but…”

“No more buts, I know what you’re thinking.” Jiang Cheng caressed her pretty face, “I’m sorry, that kind of thing, right now, we really can’t do it.”
