Although the various small paper cutouts and wooden horses on both sides of the street were all exquisite and made people want to own them, the old mother had to save money for the sake of her child’s wallet.
But Lu Huan slightly lowered his dark eyelashes and glanced at the twelve boxes of rouge in his hands. He felt happy but also mixed with some feelings of separation.
The ghost around him liked these things so much, but if she could use them, she would definitely be happier.
But she had no body of her own and could not be seen by others. She could only wander around like this all day long, and she could not speak…
Although she is by my side, she cannot even tell me her last name or where she lived before. Isn’t she also lonely?
I can’t see her, and if other ghosts bully her, I will be of no use.
Besides, he would never be able to touch her.
Lu Huan stared at his own shadow on the bluestone road. Beside him was a crowded crowd of people, but she was not there. A hint of sadness appeared between his brows.
Su Xi had no idea what the cub was thinking with his chubby face. She only knew that just a moment ago he was walking forward with his hands behind his back, looking very happy, but now he seemed to be lost in thought. Could it be that the sight of the couples holding their children to watch the lantern festival made him think of his mother, whose name he didn’t even know, which made him feel a little down?
She couldn’t help wanting to do something with the baby to distract it, so she pushed the baby’s back with her fingertips.
Lu Huan recovered and asked softly, “Is there anything else you want to buy?”
Su Xi held his hand and pulled him into a clothing store in front.
Su Xi had just gone in and taken a look. On the second floor of the shop, there were clothes for young people, jade hairpins and jade crowns for tying hair, as well as belts, jade pendants and other accessories.
Su Xi was a little excited watching this. Apart from this game, the only game she had ever played was Miracle Nikki. However, dressing up a flat cartoon character was far less fun than dressing up the baby.
Lu Huan was a little confused, not knowing why she brought him to this men’s clothing store.
He turned around and gave the boss some change, asking him to wait downstairs.
Then, as he turned around, a white brocade robe, a young man’s belt inlaid with ivory white jade, a crimson brocade hairband, and a light white, crystal clear jade floated in front of him – these things floated in front of him and shook violently.
Lu Huan guessed the ghost’s thoughts and asked, “You want me to change?”
Su Xi outside the screen quickly patted his left hand and said, “Yes, smart.”
Then she saw was a strange look appearing on the cub’s face, as if he was wondering why she was so obsessed with dressing him up.
But since it was her request, the cub didn’t hesitate too much. He took the thing down from the air and walked to the corner to change it.
Before taking off his clothes, his ears turned slightly red as usual, and he said to Su Xi, “Can you close your eyes?”
Off-screen, Su Xi rolled her eyes. Did the cub really think she was greedy for his body? What was there to be greedy about?
What’s more, people in ancient times wore thick clothes. If the boy took off his outer robe, he still had his inner robe, right?
The cub dressed quickly and walked over after he was done. He was tense all over and looked up into the void awkwardly, as if he was not sure what Su Xi was going to do.
Su Xi held his hand through the screen, tucked his elbow which was not affected by the ironing, and shook the hem of his robe for him.
When she did this, she only knew that the cub’s whole body was extremely stiff, but she did not see the expression on the cub’s face.
….
Lu Huan stared out the window on the second floor of the clothing store, his eyes fixed on the melting snow on the eaves, watching the water in the melting snow flow down the eaves and fall into the swaying lanterns. He listened to the noisy sounds outside the street market and pretended to be calm… but the young man’s heartbeat was already rapid.
Plop, plop.
No one had ever done this for him—
He caught a cold and had a high fever that night and was already unconscious and disoriented. Did she change his sweat-soaked clothes that night like this as well?
….
After tidying up his clothes, Su Xi outside the screen looked at the baby and couldn’t help screaming in her heart, “Ahhh, this is so handsome!”
I really want to buy all these clothes and let my baby change into one for me every day!
Why bother playing Miracle Nikki? She can play the Cub Clothing Show all day long!
Su Xi had given clothes to the game character before just because she wanted to see him wear different clothes but asking him to put them on was certainly a different feeling than putting them on herself.
And the baby was so well behaved, he just stood there motionless, letting her play with him.
After changing his clothes, Su Xi asked the cub to turn around and stroked his black hair with his hand. This was what the ancients called waterfall-long hair.
She took off the low-key gray linen strip that the cub used to tie his hair and then inserted the fine white jade magnolia hairpin she had just chosen diagonally into his black hair.
Turning around again, the boy’s black eyes were bright, and he looked like a young immortal who was both noble and otherworldly.
Su Xi’s blood boiled as she casually tidied her son’s hair. Offscreen, a mother’s heart overflowed. If it weren’t for the game’s mission, she could have gone shopping with her son until the Yan Kingdom changed dynasties!
What she did was nothing but a breeze to Lu Huan.
This breeze clearly had no temperature and no touch, but when it fell on Lu Huan’s head and gently straightened his slightly messy hair, his whole body became stiff like a stone slab, unable to move, and his heart was beating so hard that it almost made a sound.
The skin around his temples felt like it was being electrocuted, and the numbing sensation instantly spread to his limbs.
Lu Huan didn’t know what was wrong with him.
…is that blasphemy?
When this thought suddenly popped up in his mind, Lu Huan’s eyelids twitched heavily, and he felt a little bit unbearable.
His heart was suddenly entangled with something inexplicable, something that was growing subtly and he hadn’t noticed yet…
He was a little afraid that the ghost might hear his heart beating inexplicably as if it was about to jump out, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward.
He stood by the window, feeling the cold wind on his face, and his flustered feeling calmed down a little.
This cold wind was not the same as the cold wind from the ghost—he could feel it.
….
Su Xi saw the chubby-faced cub standing by the window, his face flushed, his fists clenched and looking as if he didn’t dare to look back, seeing him like this, she thought that the cub was shy.
She couldn’t help laughing, and pulled the cub’s hand, wanting to pull him outside the clothing store to see where else he would go that night.
But at this moment, Lu Huan suddenly saw a fortune teller in a black Taoist robe coming down from the clothing store, holding a banner and telling fortunes. The banner had a few lines of words written on it: fortune telling, rituals to save the soul, and inquiries about the spirit of the fetus.
Lu Huan suddenly thought of something, and his expression immediately showed a hint of ecstasy and desire.
Such a look suddenly appeared on his face, making him look a little crazy.
It wasn’t that this fortune teller had any reputation, but he suddenly thought, what if there really was a way to reincarnate? What if the woman beside him could have a body?
In the past, he didn’t believe in these weird things at all, but now, he seemed to have to try it as long as there was a glimmer of hope!
The author has something to say:
The cub (clenching fist): I can find a suitable body for her, and we can meet one day.
Su Xi: …It’s over.
