Chapter 60 The ghost reeking of alcohol, eat two peanuts!

Li Suhe did not tell Xu Wenci that it was Fu Yanli who persuaded her for a long time before she was willing to return to Haicheng, nor did she explain why she left Xu Wenci when he was a child.

Xu Wenci didn't ask any questions.

She stood at the door, closed the door, and stood there silently for a long time.

She shouldn't have come here.

It was Fu Yanli's persistence that allowed her to confront this nightmare that had lasted for over twenty years.

“He’s doing well now, isn’t he? I…” She only got to the first half of her sentence before she was interrupted.

"He wants to see you." Fu Yanli clenched his hands tightly, but his voice was very soft.

Fu Yanli searched for her for several days in a row, and her already wavering heart gradually swayed.

She spoke hesitantly, observing him, though she knew it was a definite answer, "You...like him?"

Fu Yanli did not answer the question, but only said, "I'm just here as a mediator."

But why would Xu Wenci, who kept saying he hated him, let him act as a persuader?

Li Suhe swallowed hard, suppressing the tears welling in her eyes. Afraid that she would lose control and cry if she stayed any longer, she stood up, pursed her lips, and said, "I have other things to do, I'll be going now."

Fu Yanli licked his lips, immediately stood up, and quickly chased after Li Suhe.

He had always known that Xu Wenci's mother was a soft-hearted person.

Xu Wenci is also mentioned.

Xu Wenci's mother doesn't need to be soft-hearted towards him, but she definitely will be soft-hearted towards Xu Wenci.

But now he really wants to know, if all the constraints set by the script have disappeared, how far will things go between him and Xu Wenci?

This wasn't the first time this thought had sprouted in the shadows; it would always creep into his mind like a vine, unexpectedly.

Every time he faced Yi Lou, this question that he had long avoided was always asked by the other party.

"You knew all along what would happen in the script?" Yi Lou asked.

"Mm." Fu Yanli nodded.

"Then why didn't you resist for the first twenty years?" Yi Lou asked, puzzled.

Fu Yanli remained silent, took a small sip of coffee, and secretly frowned. It was a bit bitter. He lowered his eyes, which conveniently concealed the dark circles under his eyes. "I can't find a solution."

"You're kidding me!" Yi Lou said speechlessly. "You must have resisted quite a bit. To be honest, when you told me all this a month ago, I thought you were joking with me."

“I can’t tell you about the rules and penalties.” Fu Yanli ignored the first question and went straight to the second.

"Have you ever thought that if you disrupted your meeting with Xu Wenci, perhaps everything might have changed a little..." Yi Lou frowned.

"No," Fu Yanli said.

"Have you tried it?"

"No."

"But you can't try it now..."

"Hmm." There was a chance. He didn't want to try.

I don't want to sever his connection with Xu Wenci.

“However, I’m more concerned about another issue now, what’s wrong with your hair?” Yi Lou pointed to the hat on Fu Yanli’s head.

"nothing."

[Xu Wenci, my hair was ruined.]

Fu Yanli lowered his head, not intending to continue the conversation with Yi Lou. He took out his phone and sent a message, only to receive a red exclamation mark.

Xu Wenci is utterly heartless!

He must know that it was him who brought his mother back, yet he still treats him like this!

She's just taking advantage of the fact that she likes him.

No, Xu Wenci doesn't care about him at all right now.

This overwhelming sense of frustration drove him to lift his foot, but he wasn't paying attention to the table beside him and tripped over it. The wine in the glass on the table spilled, and some of it dripped onto his clothes.

He frowned and winked at Yi Lou.

Yi Lou was speechless. Fu Yanli had already spilled his wine, but why did he have to leave him with such a mess to clean up...?

Fu Yanli's irritation intensified. He lowered his head, unsure of where to go.

The urgent knocking made Xu Wenci, who was organizing clues, subconsciously frown.

No one will come looking for me.

Apart from……

Realizing this, he rubbed his stiff face, took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and prepared to speak properly.

We can't just get angry every time we see Fu Yanli's face. We should have a proper talk and then go our separate ways.

Speak politely.

But when he opened the door and looked up at Fu Yanli's face, he frowned almost imperceptibly, and the forced smile looked worse than a grimace.

It's a ghost story.

This is truly bizarre.

Fu Yanli, that ghost, has come looking for him again.

It's still a ghost whose hairstyle was ruined.

It wasn't really cut out.

At this moment, the drunken ghost, though his eyes were closed, accurately wrapped his arms around his waist, rubbed his cheek against his neck, and subtly tapped the back of his hand with his fingers.

Why did you come here?

The ghost smells of alcohol; is it drunk?

"Xu Wenci..." The ghost rubbed its cheek against Fu Yanli's cheek again, its breath, which smelled of alcohol, brushed against Xu Wenci's neck, causing Xu Wenci to subconsciously hold his breath and listen to the ghost pendant's murmurs one after another.

“I like him…” Ghost clung to his hand, refusing to let go, “Xu Wenci…”

Xu Wenci covered his mouth, trembling, and subconsciously shook off the ghost's hand.

He's disgusting.

He felt like throwing up.

Every touch from Fu Yanli made him feel disgusted.

He couldn't help but recall the sticky feeling on his palm after he stabbed Fu Yanli in the chest with the dagger.

The empty corridor was quiet, but then the sound of someone climbing the stairs could be heard, rhythmically getting closer and closer.

Xu Wenci disregarded everything else, swallowed the nausea in his throat, and dragged Fu Yanli into the room, afraid that others would see.

He led Fu Yanli into the living room, broke free from Fu Yanli's restraints, and casually tossed Fu Yanli aside, letting him lie sprawled on the sofa.

But he sat quietly on the carpet, watching Fu Yanli in silence.

Fu Yanli was not sleeping well at this time; his eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a patch of dappled shadows under his eyes.

When Xu Wenci's hand reached out to pull away his tightly clenched hands, his body visibly flinched, his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly, and his breathing became shallow and quick. The stray hairs on his forehead were slightly damp with cold sweat, clinging to his pale skin. At this moment, he looked like a fully drawn bow, ready to snap at any moment.

But she still instinctively grabbed Xu Wenci's hand.

This ghost is very clever.

Is he faking being drunk?

Xu Wenci's thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before being suppressed.

After all, in the previous world, Fu Yanli had a bad habit of drinking whenever he was unhappy, which Xu Wenci had to supervise him every time.

Every time Xu Wenci calls to forbid Fu Yanli from drinking, Fu Yanli wags his tail like crazy, as if afraid others won't know he has a lover to keep him in check.

Xu Wenci lowered his head and realized that he had smiled.

This ghost... is really...

It's a ghost story.

Xu Wenci stopped smiling and frowned.

This is truly bizarre.

Fu Yanli is still as despicable as ever.

I came here drunk in the middle of the night...

It's even possible... he wasn't drunk.

Fu Yanli...

Xu Wenci gritted his teeth.

He was certain that Fu Yanli would really lie to him like that.

Thinking too much will give you insomnia.

Xu Wenci blinked, staring at the ceiling, thinking.

He'll definitely have insomnia.

Xu Wenci sat on the floor, leaning against the edge of the sofa, his head resting on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

One o'clock in the morning.

Fu Yanli, that ghost, has come looking for him again.

He even began to wonder if this was the previous world or this world.

He tried his best to get rid of the previous world, but unexpectedly, this world eventually became like the previous world.

But... many things are different now.

It's different for him, but sometimes he thinks it's fine this way.

“Lemonade…” Fu Yanli murmured.

No.

Xu Wenci blinked.

This world is just as bad as the last one.

lemonade? !

Fu Yanli still has the nerve to talk about lemonade?!

Every time he got drunk, he would make him lemonade, but what happened?

But Fu Yanli spilled the lemonade he made, gave the lemonade he made to other people, and then... instructed him to make lemonade for other people.

Xu Wenci stood up and walked over to Fu Yanli in a few quick steps. He grabbed Fu Yanli by the collar, lifted him up, and made him sit up straight.

"Stop pretending..." Xu Wenci squinted and reached out to pull Fu Yanli's eyes away.

Fu Yanli frowned, his cheeks slightly flushed, and as Xu Wenci approached, he lowered his head, his head landing precisely on Xu Wenci's wrist.

I'm speechless...

Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.

Why did he take in Fu Yanli, this ghost?

They should stuff two peanuts into Fu Yanli's mouth.

Get this drunkard out of here.

Fu Yanli felt as if his consciousness had been detached from his body, his soul floating around Xu Wenci.

The cool touch on his forehead brought him back to his senses. He blinked and his gaze gradually focused on Xu Wenci, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

But why is Xu Wenci swaying...?

"Not so drunk anymore?" Xu Wenci raised an eyebrow, trying to keep his tone calm. "Why did you come to find me?"

"I'm sorry..." Fu Yanli lowered his head, his hands hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.

"Why are you apologizing to me...?"

If it's because of the previous world, then there's no need for that.

"Did I hug you? Are you disgusted? Do you feel like throwing up?" Fu Yanli's deep purple eyes were filled with worry. He wished he could grab Xu Wenci's shoulder anxiously and ask him clearly, but then he thought that doing so might make Xu Wenci feel like throwing up again, so he had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his hand.

Even though his cheeks were so red that it was obvious he was drunk, Fu Yanli still shook his head slightly, trying to see Xu Wenci clearly.

He knew that he was only saying a few words to Xu Wenci because he was drunk, and that he might not be able to do so afterward.

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Xu Wenci stared intently at Fu Yanli's reddened eyes, unsure whether Fu Yanli's eyes were red because he hadn't slept well or because he was sad.

"..."

"This is the first and last time I'll ask you this."

This is the only time.

Fu Yanli tilted his head, turning his face to the side, his eyelashes trembling violently. "These are all the truths I told you."

Okay, you're really stubborn.

Xu Wenci squinted.

Fu Yanli is truly something else.

They've been lying to him all along, from the last world to this one.

What if he doesn't have memories of the previous world?

What if he falls in love with Fu Yanli in this world?

So, is Fu Yanli planning to live like that, with feigned concern and the secrets of the previous world, and live out the rest of his life with him with a clear conscience?

“Okay,” Xu Wenci smiled, clenching his fist. “Very good.”

Anger filled his mind, compelling him to throw Fu Yanli out.

Very good.

Very good.

So patient...

Then just keep enduring it...

Without saying a word, Xu Wenci grabbed Fu Yanli's wrist and placed it behind his ear.

That's what he did last time.

She was so intimate with Fu Yanli, so close to him.

Just like last time, Fu Yanli was at a loss when faced with his approach.

Xu Wenci laughed in retaliation, finding it ironic.

What is he pretending for?

Wasn't he always the most ferocious person in the last world?

Did he pin Fu Yanli against the wall and confess his feelings?

Did he invite Fu Yanli to the rooftop to watch the fireworks?

He didn't quite understand.

Why does Fu Yanli's life always seem so smooth?

Why would someone want to intrude into Fu Yanli's life and make a mess of it when Fu Yanli's life was already going so smoothly?

He disliked Fu Yanli.

So killing him is understandable, isn't it...?

He suddenly laughed: "Fu Yanli, do you remember that time we went to the movies?"

Fu Yanli was stunned, not understanding why Xu Wenci hadn't kicked him out and was even talking to him about their past memories.

"Remember."

That's good.

Xu Wenci smiled.

If you remember this part, then you must remember how you killed him.

A dark black eye mask covered Fu Yanli's vision.

It also concealed his aggressive gaze.

Fu Yanli was very gentle back then.

Her hair lay flat against her forehead, without any styling or hairspray. It felt incredibly soft to the touch, like the downy feathers of a chick that had just hatched a few days ago.

The background music is from a very clichéd romance movie, and it's a bit noisy.

Xu Wenci said, "We've seen this movie before. Listen for ten minutes, and if you can figure out what the movie is called, I'll grant you a request."

Fu Yanli readily agreed.

At that time, he simply thought it was just a game.

A symbol that shows Xu Wenci doesn't dislike him that much.

A step that signifies Xu Wenci's willingness to speak with him.

A hint that Xu Wenci has a soft heart.

Unexpectedly, the next second, he was met with a dagger.

The culprit removed his blindfold.

What met his gaze was Xu Wenci's eyes, filled with intense hatred.

It's fine to hate him too.

It's such a pity.

He thought that after that movie, he could explain everything.

He can clearly explain that everything he did before was not his intention.

This also explains that even if Xu Wenci doesn't forgive him, he will respect his decision.

That's such a pity.

Xu Wenci's suffering continued.

Author's Note: I find the seme (dominant partner) kind of funny. The uke (submissive partner) killed him, and the seme said the uke was soft-hearted, hahaha [heart emoji]
