After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain
Chapter 299: Taking Them Both

Too much had happened that night, leaving the audience still reeling from the shock.

[So... there are actually two Bo Jingmos in this instance?]

[Ahhhh! So thrilling! Who gets it!]

[Hehehe, I get it, just two...]

[Upstairs, you...? 666, not even pretending anymore.]

[So it's one soul, two bodies.]

[I think Yu Li had already guessed—she wasn't surprised at all. The moment she entered, she had that evil spirit completely under her control.]

[And the evil spirit Bo Jingmo is so obedient. This wife-whipped look is exactly the same as in previous instances.]

[So they're definitely a couple, right?]

[Oho~ The director's in danger. Feels like Lili prefers the puppy more.]

[Who doesn't like an obedient puppy? The director's a bit too pretentious.]

[If he keeps pretending, he'll really lose his wife. The puppy's progress is super fast—went straight for a kiss.]

[So exciting!! I live for this kind of two-men-fighting-for-one-woman showdown.]

[It's not exactly two men fighting for one woman since they're the same person. But honestly, these two Bo Jingmos don't seem to get along. What will Yu Li do? Take one and abandon the other?]

[It's just about who can please the wife more.]

[I bet on the evil spirit—who doesn't love a loyal, passionate puppy?]

[I bet on the director. There's something thrilling about an unattainable flower falling from grace. Especially with that vibe—stoic men usually kiss really well, you know what I mean!]

[Why choose one when you can take them both?]

...

Yu Yu had forbidden them from revealing what happened last night. The official story was that the nurse had fainted from low blood sugar.

Upon hearing the news, Bo Jingmo rushed down immediately.

He strode quickly into the ward, and when he saw the girl leaning safely against the wall, he let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.

But then, as if remembering something, his body stiffened slightly, his gaze turning nervous.

Yu Yu was speaking when she suddenly noticed the director's distracted expression. She paused, confused.

"Director?"

"...Hmm?"

The man snapped back to attention. "Let that nurse rest for a while. The hospital will cover the expenses. I'll handle everything else."

"Understood."

Yu Yu nodded, then heard Bo Jingmo continue, "You should rest too. You've worked hard these past days."

She looked startled for a moment before hurriedly waving her hands. "No, no, it's my duty."

Besides, Yu Yu didn't want to rest yet—there was still something she needed to confirm. Hesitantly, she looked up and asked, "Director... do we still need to patrol the fourth floor tonight?"

Bo Jingmo's tone remained unchanged. "Yes. I'll go personally."

"You're going personally...?" Yu Yu's voice trailed off slightly.

The man turned his head, his dark eyes fixed calmly on her. "Is there a problem?"

Yu Yu forced an awkward smile and waved her hands. "Ah... no, it's just—if even the director gets involved, wouldn't that make others think the ghost rumors are real?"

Bo Jingmo's expression remained placid. He opened his mouth to respond when a light laugh interrupted from the side.

"Director, I think Sister Yu makes a good point. Besides, there's nothing there to begin with. Your involvement would just make me nervous."

Turning, they saw Yu Li leaning against the wall, arms crossed, smiling at him.

Bo Jingmo froze, his fingers digging into his palm. "You... are you feeling alright?"

Yu Li politely curved her eyes. "Of course I'm fine."

She glanced at Yu Yu. "Sister Yu, Dai Liu just asked me if there really are ghosts on the fourth floor. If we want to ease her worries, why don't you and I patrol together tonight?"

Bo Jingmo's heart clenched. He instinctively wanted to refuse—"No—"

But when Yu Li's gaze met his, the words died in his throat.

He clenched his fists, forcing his voice to remain steady. "Your head nurse has been on duty too long these days. I'll arrange for other nurses to..."

Unexpectedly, Yu Yu patted her chest. "It's fine, Director. I'll rest during the day and come back tonight. Given the special circumstances, I understand."

"......"

Bo Jingmo's expression darkened, but he couldn't argue. After a long silence, he reluctantly muttered, "Hmm."

He turned to leave, but at the door, he suddenly glanced back at Yu Li.

"Yu Li, come with me for a moment."

Meeting Yu Yu's concerned look, Yu Li gave a reassuring smile.

"Coming, Director."

...

Fifth floor.

The office door closed behind them. The man turned, his gaze complex and inscrutable as he stared at her, lips pressed into a gentle line. "Does your arm... still hurt?"

Yu Li blinked, surprised, then raised a brow and touched her arm. "It's fine. Doesn't hurt much."

Seeing her usual, unruffled demeanor, Bo Jingmo relaxed slightly.

It seemed she hadn't discovered that matter yet. The thing on the fourth floor hadn't troubled her.

He stepped closer. "Last night, you..."

He wanted to ask if she was angry, but the words caught in his throat.

What right did he have to ask that?

Suppressing the ache in his chest, he murmured softly, "Why did you go to the fourth floor?"

Yu Li gave the same explanation as before. "I heard screams when I passed by, so I went to check in case something was wrong."

Then she looked up at Bo Jingmo, tilting her head, her eyes calm.

"Director, from your tone... did I do something wrong by going there?"

"No!"

Bo Jingmo answered quickly, then hesitated before softening his voice. "I'm not blaming you. I just..."

"Just what?" Yu Li asked coolly.

But Bo Jingmo couldn't answer.

What could he say? That he was afraid the male ghost on the fourth floor would target her? That he feared it might harm her?

But how could he tell Yu Li such things? No normal person would believe him.

"I..." Bo Jingmo stammered. "I just worried the fourth floor might scare you... It's very dark. You're new and might not be used to it yet."

Yu Li narrowed her eyes, studying the conflicted man before her, deep in thought.

She never doubted Bo Jingmo's feelings for her. In every instance, he quickly revealed his affection—unabashedly displaying possessiveness and desire.

Like that evil spirit last night, who pounced the moment he saw her, even whining that he disliked the "human on the fifth floor" and begging her to stay away.

But the human Bo Jingmo seemed oddly restrained, always composed and self-controlled.

As if separated by an invisible barrier.

Yu Li frowned, then blinked.

Could it be... what she was thinking?

Bo Jingmo was still trying to dissuade her from going to the fourth floor when her fingers lightly brushed his hand. Her voice, soft and deliberate, reached his ears:

"Director, I'll tell you a secret. Want to hear it?"

He froze, his mind blank, but his hand instinctively caught hers. "What secret?"

Yu Li smiled at him, eyes curving:

"Actually... I saw a ghost on the fourth floor..."

Bo Jingmo's breath hitched, his grip tightening violently.

Then, as if burned, he loosened his hold.

"Sorry..."

His lashes fluttered as he lowered his gaze, hiding the panic in his eyes, voice strained. "But what did you mean just now? You saw a ghost?"

"You don't believe me?" Yu Li chuckled, tilting her head to study him, her fingertips idly tracing the bandage on his wrist.

Her tone was light, like a fox spirit from folklore weaving its enchantment, laced with playful mischief.

"And... that ghost looked just like someone from our hospital."

As Bo Jingmo's face paled further, Yu Li's eyes gleamed, her lips curling.

Deliberately softening her voice, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, syllable by syllable:

"Director... do you know who I'm talking about?"
