Lu Huan actually had many questions in his mind, such as – why did you come to me? Why are you so nice to me? Why are you with me?
Why me? Do you want to get something from me, or let me get involved in the power struggle in the capital so that you can accomplish something for yourself?
But at this moment, when he felt that person beside him, and the gentle breeze wrapped around him… these questions became less important.
He was more concerned about——
Can I stay with you for long?
Will you leave one day in the future?
Have you ever been so good to others… and from now on, can you not need others, not anyone, and just look at me?
Countless subtle emotions rolled up in his heart, hope, joy, anxiety, layer by layer, like waves hitting the shore… and as his heart beat, these noisy voices in his heart gradually fell away, and in the end, only one most important and most firm thought remained –
The appearance of this ghost beside him was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
He was not afraid of anything else, he was only afraid of the other person’s sudden disappearance.
….
Thinking of this, Lu Huan remembered that the other party had not been in contact for eight days. It was as if the contact was suddenly cut off. He didn’t know what happened. He had been waiting in the courtyard, but after watching the sunrise and sunset for eight days, he waited for nothing.
…If it happens again in the future, he probably still won’t know where to find the other party.
Although Lu Huan didn’t want to show that he had been waiting for the other person to come for the past eight days, he really wanted to know, so he tried to hold back, but couldn’t help but blurt out, “Did something happen during the eight days you disappeared?”
In Su Xi’s eyes, the baby on the screen was like a child who had been left in kindergarten and had not been picked up for eight days. His face was full of misery and resentment. He finally waited for her to come, and hurriedly held her hand, raised his chubby face, and eagerly asked her where she had been and why she didn’t come to pick him up.
It would be fine if you just asked, but you had to pretend to be nonchalant and just asked casually…
Su Xi was shot and fell to the ground, it was so cute.
She thought she might be addicted to the game. Why did she think everything the baby did was cute?!
But how could she explain that she went to take exams?!
The exams lasted two and a half days, and her cell phone was confiscated?!
Su Xi scratched her head and thought hard for a while. Then, she opened the scroll on the cub’s desk through the screen, picked up the brush, arranged the writing scene on the desk, and finally threw away the brush and rolled up the scroll.
Then she opened the window, let the wind roll up the book, and created the scene of finally slipping away.
She tried to tell him that on her side, they also had to go to Imperial College and take exams, and even though they ranked in the top three in the class, they still couldn’t go to Beijing to become the top scorer. They had to continue to study for a master’s degree and a postgraduate degree. In short, it was very hard.
But such a long list was obviously not enough to explain it.
The cub stared at the wind in front of him, blowing the pages of the book into a mess and opening and closing of the window. He didn’t mind at all. Instead, his eyes turned a little bright. He asked speculatively, “Do you mean that your soul had been detained in the underworld for the past few days, and you had to be examined in the underworld. You can only come out after passing the test?”
Writing on the table – examination.
Open the window and let the wind out – escape.
Su Xi almost fell off the bed when she heard what the cub said. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of ghost is there? What kind of underworld is there?! Did the cub think she was some kind of female ghost?!
But aside from the ghost identity, the rest of the guesses are pretty close. Isn’t school really the same as the underworld? You can only leave school after you finish your exams.
Since there’s no way to explain it, just let him understand it this way.
Su Xi raised a mischievous smile at the corner of her lips and tugged at the cub’s left hand – yes.
Lu Huan had never believed in supernatural powers before, but today he had to believe in them. Moreover, ghosts and gods also had their own laws. Although they had powers beyond those of mortals, they also had rules to abide by, just like the human world…
In his mind, he gradually constructed an image of the underworld, with ghosts and monsters, strange and bizarre things. He began to speculate, so, did this ghost come to him because the underworld had assigned it a task that it had to complete?
After all, this ghost who accompanied him, besides being gentle to him, also did many things with a purpose.
Maybe there is some reward and punishment mechanism…forcing it to accomplish something through himself, or with the help of himself.
In this way, many things can be explained…
Even after guessing all this, Lu Huan’s mood did not fluctuate much, and his eyes and eyebrows were still bright. No matter what its purpose was, at least Lu Huan had already confirmed one thing: it had no intention of harming him and always treated him gently.
It was his first and only friend…and the light he most wanted to touch.
“So that’s how it is.” Lu Huan said softly.
He looked at the notes that were burned by the candlelight, leaving only ashes, and said self-deprecatingly, “These past few days, I thought… you would never come again.”
Su Xi looked at the child outside the screen. The child lowered his eyelids calmly, and his face was very calm, but Su Xi, an old mother, suddenly felt very guilty. I didn’t want to leave you alone in the kindergarten…
She looked at the cub and couldn’t help but do something she had always wanted to do – she stretched out two fingers, pinched the cub’s chubby face, and pinched it gently.
Although he couldn’t feel the sensation of his fingertips at all, seeing the chubby face of the stick-drawn kid being gently pinched, Su Xi was almost intoxicated just thinking about the soft and bouncy touch.
Ahhh, I pinched the cub’s face! Let her die! Ah Wei is dead!
The baby on the screen was extremely shocked, as if struck by lightning, and couldn’t move!
He could only feel the gentle wind blowing on his cheeks. Before his ears could turn red, the wind pinched his face.
That person touched his face?!
Lu Huan was as stiff as a stone. He had never seen anyone so frivolous before! He subconsciously wanted to open the hand of the person who had fallen on his face, but he was not sure where the person was and was afraid of hurting him.
So he could only stand there, eyes full of astonishment, and let his right cheek be pulled and then bounce back.
Lu Huan: “…”
Although he had known the ghost for a long time, this was too, too frivolous – but the ghost had a quick-witted and cheerful personality, so perhaps he didn’t think this was a big deal.
It has given me so many things, treated me so well, and is my only friend… If it wants to be frivolous with me, then just let it go.
After the wind pinched his face, it seemed that it had not left yet and lingered to touch it for a while.
The red color on Lu Huan’s earlobes instantly spread to his neck.
Even after Su Xi withdrew her hand, his neck was still red.
“…Nonsense.” He held it in for a long time before finally uttering two words.
Although he said that, the candlelight illuminated the young man’s face, illuminating his handsome face which was as red as the clouds in the sky. There was clearly no displeasure in his eyes, but rather a subtle smile and brightness. His face, which was usually as cold and as white as jade, had become three points more beautiful because it was too red.
However, by doing this, all the depressed emotions in Lu Huan’s heart were completely swept away.
He looked to his side, tried to push his luck a little further, and said to his ghost: “Since you have taken advantage of me, you must promise me one thing.”
Su Xi withdrew her hand contentedly and slapped the table, meaning: What’s the matter?
Lu Huan pursed his lips, trying to pretend that he was just saying it casually, and said, “In the future, don’t disappear suddenly again.”
After he made the request, his whole body tensed up.
But the man quickly agreed, tugging his left hand, meaning “OK.”
