Chapter 128

There are birds chirping.

Lou Sheng opened his eyes, and the blurry vision became clear again. The sunlight was too dazzling, so he blocked it with his hands.

Sunlight!

Lou Sheng sat up from the bed, everything that happened in the King of Hell's Palace was still vivid in his mind, and he was still frightened.

"Why... can I sunbathe now? And it doesn't hurt?"

He looked around the room cautiously, and it was surprisingly familiar. This was the bedroom where Lou Sheng had slept since he was a child.

There were two knocks on the door, and after a while, the woman pushed the door open and came in.

Gao Xinhua was helpless: "Why haven't you gotten up for breakfast yet? You overslept and missed morning reading! Luckily, I sent a message to your homeroom teacher, making up an excuse that I had a rear-end collision and asking for half a day off. No more staying up late playing games."

Lou Sheng blinked, unable to believe it.

He suspected that this was some kind of punishment from the underworld. Yes, this was a possibility.

"Are you stupid?" Gao Xinhua raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Lou Sheng's Adam's apple rolled as he tried to speak, but no words came out. His throat was hoarse and only breathy sounds could come out, and tears welled up before his longing.

"mom……"

"Mom, you don't know." He choked and couldn't explain himself in a few words.

Gao Xinhua saw his face suddenly changed when he saw him crying. He strode over and said distressedly, "What's wrong, my baby? Did someone bully you? Oh my, if you cry, your mother's tears will fall too."

Lou Sheng didn't know whether all this was true or not, but even if it was false, he would accept it.

"Mom...it hurts."

"I'm in so much pain, I'm dying."

Gao Xinhua's tears fell, but he quickly wiped them away and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense! You are so young and you are going to die. Live a long life!"

"Tell mom where you feel uncomfortable and I will take you to the hospital."

Lou Sheng lay on her legs. Everything that happened in his memory was like a nightmare. He was immersed in the dream and unable to break free.

He thought of the huge eye above the King of Hell's Palace.

The moment the book of life and death was torn up, it closed.

…

In fact, Lou Sheng recovered in less than three days. After confirming that it was not an hallucination, he did not dare to sleep for several nights in a row, for fear that he would return to the underworld and see ghosts.

During this period of time, he took great pains to investigate, but except for Zhang Kaifa, there was no such person, and everyone's fate was continuing steadily along the original trajectory.

Except Grandma Zhu.

Grandma Zhu did not become a famous ghost catcher, but she had many children and grandchildren and had a very good relationship with her husband.

Lou Sheng, now sixteen years old, and Ying Zhisheng are good friends who text and chat with each other every day.

He put on his school uniform and carried his schoolbag to school. He couldn't remember his class and almost forgot to bring his pocket money.

As classmates filed into the school, Lou Sheng stood still, wondering where his class was. He could hear the hustle and bustle of people, the noise of chasing each other, the clanging of bicycles, and the air smelled of breakfast.

Lou Sheng's wrist was suddenly grabbed. He turned around, opened his eyes slightly, and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Ying Zhisheng held him back and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you reply to me?"

“…Wha-what?”

"I said your favorite comics have been updated, why are you ignoring me?"

Lou Sheng was unable to recover and looked at Ying Zhisheng in shock.

Ying Zhisheng was wearing his school uniform, a white short-sleeved shirt and black pants. He didn't have the broadness of a man at that time, but had the youthful youthfulness and tall slenderness of a teenager.

Lou Sheng's gaze was so intense that Ying Zhisheng's ears turned red. "What's so interesting about it? Didn't you write it last night?"

"I, I don't seem to know."

"?"

At this time, Lou Sheng saw from afar a man wearing sunglasses and wrapped tightly up sitting by the flower bed outside the crowd.

The man is holding a guide stick, and next to him is a girl in a princess dress eating ice cream.

The girl is Liu Qing, she looks healthy, but Zhang Kaifa is blind!

Not only is Zhang Kaifa blind, he also has a serious skin disease and cannot stand the light.

Too shocked, Lou Sheng grabbed Ying Zhisheng's sleeve and was hesitant to speak.

Ying Zhisheng followed his gaze and saw a girl. He said with a rather cold expression, "Her father is sitting right next to her. It's not nice to stare at her like that."

"That's not his father." Zhang Kaifa is less than ten years older than Liu Qing.

Ying Zhisheng pursed his lips, turned around and was about to leave, but before leaving he paused for a moment and hesitated to wait for Lou Sheng.

Lou Sheng naturally took his hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, big star, let's go back to the classroom together."

“…Hmm.” Ying Zhisheng’s fingertips trembled, and sticky, hot sweat appeared on his palms.

"I'm not a big star."

"You're going to be a big star sooner or later."

They held hands, talked and laughed as they walked along the tree-lined path.
