Chapter 239: My Turn?

"Initially, I thought it was because my cooking was not to her taste, so I didn't mind it that much . However, I soon realized that things were different . One late night, I woke up from my sleep due to a sound coming from the kitchen . I climbed out of bed silently .

"The house was dark, so I assumed it was a thief . When I got close, I realized that the person looked like my wife . She picked up a large piece of meat from a plastic bag and held a cleaver in her other hand .

"Cleaving meat would create a loud sound . Probably afraid of waking me, she only cut the meat's surface open, seasoned it, and then placed it whole inside the pot .

"Making stew? My wife was making stew in the middle of the night? Perhaps she was preparing for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch . I loved my wife . Even though I thought it was weird, I didn't disturb her . I returned to our room and observed her through the open door .

"It was 3 am when the stew was ready . She looked behind her . She saw that the bedroom door was open and I was sleeping in bed . As if not willing for me to see her, she closed the kitchen door .

"Then I heard the sound of chomping . About twenty minutes later, my wife came out of the kitchen holding a large black garbage bag . For some reason, I was scared when I saw her .

"Her stomach was slightly bloated, and there were oil stains on her face . She had a satisfied smile . After tossing the garbage bag away, she went to take a bath to wash the odor away from her body . Finally, she lay down beside me like usual .

"The person sleeping next to me had this habit . From that day onwards, I realized that I did not know her at all . I was awake the whole night . I got out from bed in the morning, preparing to go to work . My wife was still sleeping soundly .

"She looked just like Sleeping Beauty . It made me want to kiss her, but the things that had happened in the kitchen the previous night stopped me .

"I looked at her stomach; it was no longer that bloated . Everything that had happened the previous night was just like a dream . I put on my clothes and headed downstairs . The rubbish bin had been cleaned, and the black garbage bag from last night was gone .

"The same thing happened again the next night . She seemed to have fallen ill with some kind of meat-eating compulsion . I spent the night awake, observing her . I waited until 4 am, and my wife had fallen asleep . Then I put on my clothes and headed out .

"I rummaged through the pile of rubbish and finally found the black garbage bag . It was filled with bones with teeth marks on them . It looked like a chicken . My wife had managed to consume a whole chicken on her own . I suddenly realized that I did not know her at all .

"A new day arrived, but she was still so weird . I also made it a habit to rummage through her rubbish every night . The more I saw, the more chilled my heart became .

"My wife seemed to be trying different meat, from the initial chicken and fish to bags that I found attached with the fur of cats and dogs .

"I was an animal lover, and it was that day that I knew I have to talk to her . She must have fallen ill, or maybe a demon had moved into her stomach . No one would allow the person sleeping beside them to do something like this .

"I confronted her . Initially, she denied it, but when I offered the garbage bags as evidence, she knew that she was cornered . She told me that she could not control herself . She would get unreasonably hungry at night, but other than that, she was just like a normal person .

"She said that she would take good care of me and love me, but who would be willing to sleep with a crazy person?

"After much consideration, I decided to opt for a divorce, to end the marriage as soon as possible . My wife begged me to stay, and I really did still love her, but her actions worried me deeply .

"I left her and moved out to live alone . My wife still loved me . She would call me and message me daily, trying to get me back . To be honest, other than that quirk, she was perfect, kind and fair, pretty and gentle .

"Slowly, guilt formed in my heart . About one month later, I received a call from a stranger . He said that he was the police . He suspected that my wife was related to a missing person case at the radio station . He asked me some questions and told me to be careful .

"I was glad that I had left my wife . If I had been several days too late, the person missing would be me . I returned to my rental home, and after reheating the food that had gone cold, I swallowed it quickly .

"After I was done, I swore that I was hallucinating . I saw my wife crawl out from underneath the bed .

"She looked at me with a smile and said I was still the same . Even after so long, I still had not changed the habit of not wasting leftovers .

"I didn't know how she got into my home, but I did know that I wouldn't be able to leave her again; I would be a part of her forever . "

The woman's story ended there, and No . 2 and Chen Ge subconsciously moved away from her . The woman had told the story from the husband's perspective, but according to her storyline, the husband was probably dead by now .

Therefore, the only living person who would know all this should be the wife . The wife's job was a DJ, and the woman had a beautiful voice . Furthermore, the story kept beautifying the wife .

From these details, it was apparent that No . 3 was the crazy woman who liked to eat meat in the story .

"I haven't heard such a wonderful story in a long time . " The man on the left clapped lightly . His eyes that landed on the woman looked slightly invasive . "The stories of all three new members are so interesting . It'll be so hard to choose . "

Then, he raised his head to look at Chen Ge . The eyes underneath the mask locked on Chen Ge's face . "No . 4, it's your turn now . "

"It's finally my turn?" Chen Ge was thinking many questions . No . 3 beside him had a very recognizable voice . Based on her voice alone, Chen Ge confirmed her identity . No . 3 was a late-night DJ for Jiujiang's radio station . Her name was Lychee, and Chen Ge had even heard her show before .

Everyone anticipated Chen Ge's story . After all, he was the fourth new member that should not have been there . Chen Ge stood in the corner of the room, and no one could see the blood twisting in his shadow . The blood vessels were like needles and threads, slowly knitting a bright red dress .

"I have many stories . Let me think, which shall I share?"
