Chapter 31

This year was a purgatory for Chi Ying. He hardly had a full night's sleep.

When I close my eyes, I see Tang An; when I open my eyes, I see Tang An. I am constantly being gnawed by bone-eating longing.

Chi Ying didn't dare to think too deeply. Did he faint or die in his original world? Either possibility was definitely not good news for Tang An.

What was even more terrifying was that a thought was lingering on him like a maggot in his bones.

If he was using this body now...

Then who is controlling this body that originally belonged to him?!

The huge white dragon body fell into the deep pool outside the mansion like a meteorite, splashing huge waves.

Chi Ying regained his human form in the water, and his internal organs felt as if they were displaced.

He gave up struggling and let the cold water wrap around him, slowly sinking to the dark bottom of the pool.

He attempted suicide numerous times.

Jumping off a cliff, crashing into a mountain, exhausting spiritual power...

But every time, he would be accurately discovered and stopped by the guy named Gu An.

The other party seemed to care more about the life and death of this body than he did.

Although Ji Ying used to be a straight man and was relatively slow in terms of emotions, he had been in a relationship for seven years and understood everything he should and shouldn't understand.

He could see at a glance what kind of twisted and secret feelings Gu An had for the owner of this body.

Secret love? Haha...

Chi Ying, who was sinking in the water, curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

Although this person is not my Tang An, his face is so damn similar. Looking at him with this face, he does things that Tang An would never do and says things that Tang An would never say.

If I had a cell phone, I would definitely record it and take it back to tease Tang An.

This thought brought him a hint of bitter comfort, and made him feel a twisted sense of happiness in the midst of suffocation.

On the shore, Gu An stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no movement on the water except ripples.

His originally indifferent expression gradually darkened, and finally froze into ice: "Evil obstacle."

Gu An waved his robe sleeves, and the power instantly penetrated the deep pool.

Chi Ying, who was sinking to the bottom of the pool, was forcibly pulled out of the water by a huge force. At the moment when his face was about to hit the ground, he immediately used his spiritual power to break free from the restraints, then spun around and staggered onto the slippery stones on the shore.

"Is that all your patience? And you're an Immortal Lord."

He wrung his wet sleeves, and water droplets fell.

The same name contains the word "an", but the way of dealing with people, the personality and the temperament are not even a little bit worse than my Tang An!!!

Gu An's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Su Chengyue, who had been standing silently behind him, suddenly stepped forward with an impeccable and gentle smile on her face: "Brother Shen, you are wrong. Master has never been so caring towards others."

He walked in front of Chi Ying and casually brushed his fingers across her wet collar.

A soft white light flashed, and the wet clothes instantly became dry and tidy, even the moisture evaporated.

Su Chengyue withdrew her hand, her smile unchanged: "Brother Chen seems to have been learning this simple Clothes Purification Spell for almost a year, but he still hasn't mastered it?"

Su Chengyue's tone was gentle, but the anger on her face was almost showing through.

Chi Ying said with a forced smile: "Yes, not as smart as you, you are so smart."

Su Chengyue: “…”

Although he didn't quite understand the specific meaning, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good thing.

Gu An seemed unaware of the invisible flashes of swords and sabers between the two. He glanced at Chi Ying calmly, then turned to Su Chengyue with his usual warmth in his voice, "Come to the quiet room at noon to find me, your master."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Chi Ying felt bored and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Su Chengyue.

"Do you really want to go back to the human world?"

Chi Ying paused.

He was standing at the edge of the shaded area, and the sunlight cast a long shadow behind him.

"What you call the human world includes my family, lover, and friends."

Chi Ying slowly turned around.

"I've said it countless times, I'm not the Shen Qi your master is looking for. My name is Chi Ying, and I don't belong to your world at all. If all this is a dream, I just hope I can wake up soon."

After all, one day in reality may be a year in his dreams.

Su Chengyue burst out laughing as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. "Hahahaha... Funny! Really funny! To escape, you even made up such absurd nonsense? Another world? A dream? Hahahaha... Chen Qi, ah Chen Qi, you are really getting more and more interesting!"

Chi Ying: “…”

Damn.

Is it funny?

Su Chengyue laughed enough, raised her hand to wipe away the tears that naturally formed from laughing, and tapped her chest with her finger: "Since you don't believe in my master, why don't you try to believe in me for once?"

Chi Ying lifted her leg and walked away: "Bye!"

Su Chengyue followed slowly, her voice clearly reaching Chi Ying's ears: "Although I've never heard of those mobile phone companies you mentioned, perhaps I can help you find the way back?"

Chi Ying's steps did not pause at all.

Su Chengyue did not give up and continued to raise her voice:

"Chiying——"

"Let's work together."

How long had it been since he'd heard his real name? It was always so muffled that his ears were almost callused.

Chi Ying stopped and turned around suddenly: "Why should I believe you?"

Su Chengyue walked up to him, still wearing that gentle and harmless smile on her face: "Because we have a common goal."

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Chi Ying's shoulder with irresistible force.

"I need you to help me break through the bottleneck and ascend to heaven in broad daylight."

Su Chengyue leaned close to Chi Ying's ear, her voice very low and filled with hysterical enthusiasm.

"Gu An has practiced for thousands of years, isn't he also striving for immortality? So am I! But I want more than just immortality! I want to live as long as the heavens! To transcend the Nine Heavens!!"

Chi Ying brushed Su Chengyue's hand away expressionlessly.

Another one has gone crazy. Is this place full of psychopaths?

"Sorry, I never discuss cooperation with emotionally unstable people."

Chi Ying was told about his education from childhood to adulthood and his experience in managing a company.

Whether making friends or cooperating, those who are emotionally unstable will be PASSED.

Su Chengyue had not expected to be rejected so decisively. She was slightly startled: "Don't you want to go back?"

Chi Ying shrugged indifferently and spread his hands: "If all this is really just a dream, then I can't expect a person in a dream to help me return to reality, just like..."

He paused, remembering a movie he had seen before.

"It's like expecting someone trapped in a fake stage to help you find the door to the real world. Do you think that's possible?"

In Truman's life, how could he seek a true outlet from an actor?

Su Chengyue frowned, looking puzzled: "You always speak in such a strange and hard-to-understand way."

Chi Ying suddenly reached out and patted Su Chengyue's shoulder with a hint of ambiguity: "Because you look a lot like the person my wife once had a crush on."

I've shown good manners by not hitting you right there and then.

So you are right not to understand.

Su Chengyue was even more confused: "Who do I look like?"

Chi Ying forced a fake smile: "Someone I really hate."

He added, "And to be honest, whether in my reality or in this dream, you are quite annoying."

Don’t think I don’t know that you’re always trying to put me in a bad light in front of Gu An!!!

Green tea essence.

He curled his lips, his face full of disgust.

The key is that guy still believed it.

Speaking of which...

A thought suddenly flashed through Chi Ying's mind, and he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

In the movie "Inception", how many times did the protagonist commit suicide before waking up?

"three times."

"What?"

Inside the glass door of the bathroom, Shen Qi, who was fiddling with the shower head clumsily, looked up blankly.

The frosted glass reflected Tang An's silhouette as he tried his best to endure.

"I, say, you—"

"Ask me this question—"

"Already three times!"

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Qi's panicked scream came from inside: "Eh, eh, eh, eh——"

"Hot! Hot! It's so hot! The water is so hot again!!!"

What followed was the tinkling sound of the shower head being thrown around and hitting the tiles, and the sound of someone jumping up and down due to being burned.

Tang An closed his eyes in pain, and could accurately recreate the chaotic scene in the bathroom in his mind without even looking.

If it was Ji Young, how could he not even know how to adjust the hot and cold water?! He stayed in hotels more often on business trips than he ate at home!

With all kinds of emotions mixed in his heart, Tang An felt that he didn't want to wait any longer. He wished he could fly to Bu Suanzi right now.

Just at this moment, the phone dinged and the screen lit up.

[卜算子]: I'm still in school. Is it OK for us to meet at the entrance of the scenic area at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning?

Tang An stared at the screen, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, deleting and typing, typing and deleting.

He really wanted to reply "Tonight! Right now!", but in the end, he could only reply with an "OK" emoticon.

The sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, and the frosted glass door was opened a crack, allowing steaming hot air to pour out.

Chen Qi held up the thick white bath towel from the hotel and turned it over and over to study it: "This thing is so small, is it a midriff? But it doesn't look like it, could it be underwear? But there are no straps..."

"That's a bath towel." Tang An turned around, his voice hoarse with fatigue, "It's used to dry the body, and can also be wrapped around the waist to cover up."

Shen Qi froze: "Why didn't you say so earlier."

He wiped his body a few times, then awkwardly wrapped the towel around his waist to cover his key parts.

It's because there is only this cloth-like thing in the room, and I'm afraid of using it incorrectly and making this bad-tempered guy unhappy.

He came out wet, with water still dripping from the ends of his hair.

Tang An didn't even look at it and casually handed him a set of gray cotton pajamas taken out of Chi Ying's luggage, with a thin pair of black underwear with a letter logo on it.

"These are pajamas and underwear. The underwear is what you call your underwear. Just put them on."

After Tang An finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to go to the window to get some fresh air.

"Hey, wait..."

Shen Qi hurriedly called him, holding the soft clothes in his hand, and seemed to want to ask something.

However, in the next second, something strange happened.

Shen Qi only felt that the world in front of him suddenly shook, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be suddenly pulled up by an invisible hand.

He looked down in astonishment, and saw not his own feet stepping on the carpet, but...

Two paws covered with soft white fur? !

Shen Qi was completely stunned. He stupidly raised one of his front paws and brought it close to his eyes, staring at the pink pads and the trimmed, rounded nails in disbelief.

Hairy.

It's still this kind of fine and soft white hair.

I have turned back into a dragon???

But……

But dragon claws don’t look like this! ! ! ! ! !
