Chapter 0 [Modern Extra] Yu Zimo Special

Yu Zimo pushed open the door and glanced at the sofa in front of the projector. Jiang Jiu, who was supposed to be curled up on it, was not there at the moment. In addition, she had not replied to his message for a whole day, so he couldn't help but frown.

"Little wine?"

He called out into the house, but saw a round little head suddenly pop out of Jiang Jiu's room, looking at him with nervous and curious eyes.

The girl's fair and slightly rosy cheeks were half-hidden behind the door, and her two small hands were tightly grasping the edge of the door frame, with her fingertips turning white from the force. She was so cute that it made people's hearts melt.

Yu Zimo's expression froze. He had never thought that there would be a child in the house.

"Whose child are you?"

He was not sure whether it was the child brought by Jiang Jiu, and he did not dare to treat him casually. He could only lower his voice and speak in a coaxing tone.

After all, Yu Zimo was once a high-spirited prince. When he was not possessed by any evil spirit, people would want to get close to him.

"Hmm... I don't know."

Xiao Jiangjiu shook her head with a conflicted expression, because she really didn't know.

"?"

Yu Zimo couldn't do it this time. Seeing that the child was afraid of him, he could only ask in a more gentle tone.

"May I have your name?"

Xiao Jiangjiu pursed his lips with some reluctance, but still slowly said his name.

"Ginger wine."

Yu Zimo stood there in a daze for a while, then began to observe Xiao Jiangjiu carefully. Looking at her eyebrows and facial features, she was exactly a smaller version of Xiaojiuer.

"Brother Chi Li said that you could take me home, and he left a note for you."

Xiao Jiangjiu pointed to the white paper on the coffee table and said to Yu Zimo.

When Yu Zimo heard Chi Li's name, his face turned pale, but he still stepped forward, picked up the note, and read the contents.

[This is Jiang Jiu, who only has memories of being five years old. She has always wanted to go home to find her mother, but her mother is no longer around. You need to try your best to find a way to coax her and keep her from running around.]

[I've already found a way to help her recover. You need to keep Xiao Jiangjiu calm.]

After reading Chi Li's message, Yu Zimo turned his gaze back to Xiao Jiangjiu, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Although Gui was very unhappy that Chi Li saw the young version of Xiao Jiang Jiu first, it was a special blessing to be able to see such a cute little Jiu.

"Can you take me home?"

Seeing that Yu Zimo was taking no action, Xiao Jiangjiu pouts even more and looks extremely aggrieved.

"Ahem, I can take you home, but it will take me some time."

When Yu Zimo heard Xiao Jiangjiu's voice with a hint of tears, his whole body froze on the spot. He cursed Chi Li in his heart for setting a trap for him, and then he showed a gentle expression.

"oh oh."

Xiao Jiangjiu also knew that she couldn't force others to do things. After hearing what Yu Zimo said, she could only lower her head in disappointment.

"You play this first, and I'll figure out a solution for you."

Yu Zimo is essentially a ghost. All the ways he can think of to coax children are related to ghosts. He can't think of anything else. After he finished speaking, several balls of netherworld fire emerged from his fingertips and flew towards Xiao Jiangjiu.

result.....

When Xiao Jiangjiu saw this, he took two steps back, cried out "wow", and went back to his room.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! The will-o'-the-wisp is so scary!!"

Two balls of Netherworld Fire stopped in mid-air, neither moving forward nor backward, and one could even see their panic and embarrassment.

“…”

Yu Zimo also froze in place. It was over. He had forgotten that Jiang Jiu was most afraid of horror movies and ghosts. What should he do now?

"Brother, please don't take my life. I haven't seen my mother yet. If she knew I was dead, she would be very sad!"

Xiao Jiangjiu hid behind the door trembling, but she did not forget to beg Yu Zimo to let her go, her voice trembling like a sieve.

"...I won't kill you."

Yu Zimo's biggest headache was children, and now he had to deal with his lover in his cub stage, so things suddenly became difficult.

"Woo woo woo."

Xiao Jiangjiu was still sobbing, and only her crying could be heard from the other side of the door, making it difficult for Yu Zimo to comfort her or not to comfort her. He was in the same dilemma as the two balls of Netherworld Fire.

Yu Zimo thought for a long time, then a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly spoke to Xiao Jiangjiu.

"Do you want to see Mom?"

After hearing this, the crying behind the door finally stopped, and then Xiao Jiangjiu's sobbing voice was heard.

"I want to see my mother..."

The hope of seeing her mother helped little Jiangjiu overcome her fear of ghosts, and she poked her little head out from behind the door again. However, this time, because of crying, the tip of her nose became red, and her eyes were a little swollen, making her look both pitiful and funny.

"Well, brother asked you to see her."

After Yu Zimo finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, scaring Xiao Jiangjiu so much that he fell to the ground on the spot. In addition to fear, there was also a look of "as expected" in his eyes.

"Big brother is really a ghost..."

Little Jiangjiu muttered to herself, and even began to worry that her older brother would kill her mother and let her go with her to see the Black and White Impermanence.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she began to regret asking the ghost brother to help her find her mother.

Wanting to cry but not daring to, Xiao Jiangjiu held back his tears in his eyes. He slowly got up from the ground with a determined expression on his face.

She! Jiang Jiu! Today, I have to protect my mother from the ghost brother!

On the other side, Yu Zimo didn't know that little Jiang Jiu had already imagined him as the god of death who was taking his life, and was now looking for Jiang Jiu's mother who had a similar breath based on Jiang Jiu's soul breath.

But after finding Jiang Jiu's mother's soul, Yu Zimo stopped wanting to take Jiang Jiu's mother away.

There is no spiritual energy in this world, so naturally there are no evil spirits or fierce ghosts. Jiang Jiu's mother now exists only with partial memories and brain waves. She has no consciousness and cannot communicate.

Even if she was brought back, Xiao Jiangjiu wouldn't be able to talk to her mother.

Moreover, he is the Ghost King and there is no way for him to take away things like residual images.

The middle-aged woman wandering in front of him kept muttering to herself in a very low voice. Yu Zimo had to move closer to hear what she was saying.

"Our Jiang Jiu must grow up well, even if mom is gone."

Yu Zimo felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. In his distant memory, his mother had said something similar before the prince's mansion was ransacked.

He closed his eyes and waved his arm, and the afterimage of the middle-aged woman completely disappeared. There was no need for this afterimage to remain in the world, so it would be better to let her rest in peace as soon as possible.

At the same time, the memories of Jiang Jiu's mother also flooded into his mind.

“....”

It was not Yu Zimo's original intention to accept these memories, but after seeing how Jiang Jiu was treated as a child, he felt indescribable pain in his heart.

"Is this... the twisted love that Xiaojiuer mentioned as a mother?"
