Chapter 05 Chapter 5

Handsome guys also eat grilled cold noodles?

Xibai was really curious, but the impression Gu Chi left on him was more of a cheerful person, a big dog or something, not the kind of aloof type, so it seemed normal for him to eat grilled cold noodles. Thinking

of this, the scene in front of him was not inconsistent.

After arriving at the restaurant, Xibai bought a self-service group meal for two people on his mobile phone. After verifying the coupon code and choosing the base of the hot pot, he could pick up the meal by himself.

In order to avoid the possible embarrassment of not knowing whether to choose to exchange hot pots in the future, Xibai ordered two plain hot pots, and Gu Chi didn't seem to have any special expression on this.

Or, throughout the dinner, Gu Chi didn't seem to show the kind of... eagerness that Xibai imagined?

Large dogs, oh no, adult men around 20 years old, are mostly obvious carnivores.

But Gu Chi ate very politely throughout the whole process, compared to another table of college students not far behind Xibai and his friends, who were obviously also having a meal together. The way the four of them wolfed down the meat, put plate after plate into the pot, and then picked it up with chopsticks and swallowed it in one bite, seemed to be more in line with the stereotype of "boys who practice sports.

" "Is it not to your taste?"

"What?" Gu Chi paused with his chopsticks, "Are you talking about me?"

Without waiting for Xibai to respond, he lowered his head and picked up four or five pieces of meat in the bowl, as if he was afraid that Xibai would misunderstand him. While eating, he explained vaguely: "No, it's quite delicious!"

Xibai pursed his lips.

Maybe because he wanted to have more contact with Gu Chi before making a decision, or maybe because he didn't enjoy the meal as much as he imagined, Xi Bai didn't ask Gu Chi to share the house with him.

Unexpectedly, the boy in front of him was more delicate than he thought. Before Xi Bai could react, Gu Chi spoke again.

"Sorry."

"What?" Xi Bai was stunned.

After seeing the obvious apology in those clear and bright eyes, he realized why Gu Chi apologized.

His originally calm mood was slightly disturbed. Xi Bai waved his hand, "No, no need to apologize, I'm just worried that you don't like it, nothing else."

Obviously this is not a very convincing answer.

The pupils of the tall boy in front of him seemed to be slightly dimmed. Xi Bai was anxious and blurted out the words hidden in his heart.

"Actually..."

Gu Chi looked at him, his eyes widened.

"...Actually," the words on his lips finally had a turn, "How many rooms are there in your dormitory now?"

Gu Chi's answer was concise and quick.

"One room."

"Oh..." Xi Bai paused, "Why don't you live in a double room?"

This time, Gu Chi did not give an answer immediately. He obviously hesitated for a while before saying, "I just transferred to another school. Roommates usually make an appointment before applying to live together."

Yes, Gu Chi is a transfer student, and he should not be very familiar with his classmates.

"And it's more convenient to live alone." Gu Chi said this again.

"Ah, that's right." The little fire that ignited in Xibai's heart was gently suppressed by him after these words.

Perhaps Gu Chi, like him, is more accustomed to living alone.

The topic of tonight seemed to come to a rest from then on.

"Then I'll go back first." Xibai waved at Gu Chi, "Next time we'll go find something delicious together!"

Gu Chi: "Yeah, okay."

So, the two people, each with their own thoughts, did not arrange other activities after dinner and went back to the dormitory.

Xibai had just charged his mobile phone when he heard Zhuang Suan's knock on the door.

"Xibao~ ~"

Xibai was curled up in front of the desk. His chair was an e-sports chair that he accidentally bought too big. He was thin and there was still a lot of space left when he sat cross-legged.

"You're here." Xibai spoke weakly.

Zhuang Suan, who was originally looking around to see if there was another figure in the dormitory, noticed that Xi Bai's reaction was wrong.

Ten minutes later, Zhuang Suan, who originally intended to gossip, learned about tonight's dinner from the slightly frustrated Xi Bai, but his reaction was completely opposite to what Xi Bai expected.

"Xibao, it sounds like you have a great chance!" Zhuang Suan said.

Xi Bai even thought that Zhuang Suan was teasing him.

"No, really." Zhuang Suan dragged over the unused chair that Xi Bai had put aside and sat down with his arms around the back of the chair. "I have inquired about things related to Gu Chi these two days."

Although Xi Bai did not say anything, his curiosity was betrayed by staring at Zhuang Suan and waiting for the next reaction.

"Let me ask you, what is your impression of Gu Chi?"

Impression of Gu Chi?

Just as Xibai said, he and Gu Chi only met once. Now thinking about it, he didn't know why he wanted to ask him out for dinner.

But when Zhuang Suan asked this question, the scene of their unexpected encounter at the gym that day still appeared in his mind like a video with a progress bar rewound at the speed of light.

The tall boy in a sports uniform, with superior features and a clean temperament, looked at him secretly in the mirror with clear and beautiful eyes.

After being caught on the spot, the ears with beautiful contours were stained with a clear light red. They tried to hide with soft and fluffy hair, but they couldn't stop it. They looked like a shy large dog.

Xibai said what he was thinking unconsciously.

Every time he said an adjective, Zhuang Suan shook his fingers.

Obviously, there is a difference between Xibai's "impression" and the "truth" he heard.

"No, it's completely different." Zhuang Suan slapped his thigh and said.

The two legs that were originally sitting cross-legged were put down at this moment.

"Tell me more." Xibai dragged the two chairs closer to each other, asking Zhuang Suan not to keep him in suspense.

To sum up what Zhuang Suan heard, it is actually: Gu Chi's loneliness is not because he is a transfer student and is not familiar with his classmates.

He is a loner by nature.

"I heard that Gu Chi basically never shows up except during professional training, and no one knows what he is doing. You can't even find him in the dormitory."

For example, Xu Xiao invited him and his classmates to dinner today, and he was able to catch up with him because they were in the same class.

And Gu Chi is not usually very "friendly" - at least not like what Xi Bai described, like a big dog that likes to be rubbed.

"I heard that someone from other colleges tried to pursue her, but Gu Chi ignored her as if he didn't even see her."

Zhuang Suan said a few other gossips, the content of which was almost the same.

Anyway, the meaning was expressed: Gu Chi treats Xi Bai differently.

When it was Xi Bai's usual bedtime, Zhuang Suan went back first.

"Anyway, you should think about it. I think you can still try to talk to Gu Chi about sharing a house. Although other people think he is aloof and difficult to approach, there is nothing wrong with his character."

Before leaving, Zhuang Suan turned off the lights for Xi Bai and said good night.

But that night, Xi Bai tossed and turned for a long time, and finally could only sleep lightly for a while.

Tonight, the dormitory area of ​​​​Beicheng University was particularly quiet, and there was not even a breeze, because the ghosts and goblins that used to roam in the middle of the night were hiding at this moment.

The ghosts that were far away from the dormitory area had already fled the moment they realized something was wrong.

A certain earthbound spirit that usually does a lot of evil and often bullies other underworld creatures by relying on the light red evil spirit on its body is now hiding in a dog hole at the corner of the dormitory area, trying to shrink its body into a ball.

A pair of dark ghost eyes deep in the bottom of the eye sockets are staring at one of the rooms in the building not far away. Scarlet evil blood can be vaguely seen in the eye sockets, flickering and trembling at a high frequency.

But it can't see what's in the room clearly.

Because at this moment, countless black mists are flying out of that room, carrying a pressure that makes all the underworld creatures tremble, and a clear violent breath.

Some ghosts wanted to get forward without knowing the consequences, but before they could react, they were penetrated by the out-of-control violent mist and ended up with their souls scattered.

Xi Bai was not the only one who had a restless

sleep tonight. The person on the bed was half asleep and half awake, and although his eyes were closed, his furrowed brows clearly showed that his sleep quality was not high.

Gu Chi was very hungry.

Even though he had eaten a lot tonight, after falling asleep, his brain lost its rationality and returned to its most primitive nature, transmitting hunger signals to every corner of his internal organs.

He is not a human being, and does not need to eat grains, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables to maintain his vital signs.

There are actually two kinds of things that ghosts need to eat.

One is Yin Qi.

There are impure yin qi, such as the little ghosts eaten by the big ghosts often carry "greed, anger, resentment" and their thoughts and ideas in their previous life, which are the "impurities"; there is

also pure yin qi, which is created by the creation of heaven and earth, and cannot be created by ghosts, gods or humans.

The second is the yang essence of human beings. People have spirit, energy and spirit, and carry three lamps on their shoulders, which are all transformed by the yang essence in the body.

And Xibai has both.

His horoscope is born with yin, and the yang essence comes from life. To put it simply, eating one mouthful of Xibai is equivalent to eating two or three mouthfuls of other things.

Moreover, the yang essence and yin qi of people with strange yin horoscopes are by no means comparable

to those of ordinary people and lonely ghosts. For any yin object, this is a great tonic.

Zhuang Suan has always said that he didn't know how Xibai had lived in peace for the past twenty years. It seemed that the ghosts "did not dare to target him". From childhood to adulthood, Xibai had never been haunted by any ghosts, and he had never even been paralyzed by a ghost.

As the king of ghosts, Gu Chi had no more self-control than ordinary ghosts in his desire for Yin and Yang.

On the contrary, it was even more difficult for him to control himself.

In the past few days, whenever he got close to Xibai, he could smell the fragrance on Xibai's body.

It was not a sweet fragrance, nor the fragrance of any food, but the brain would begin to secrete signal factors as soon as it smelled, bringing endless desire and happiness.

Two days ago, when Xibai told him to "invite him to dinner", Gu Chi did not react that it meant eating human food.

Because for the Ghost King, "eating" is equivalent to "taking food", that is, eating Yin Qi or Yang Yuan.

And what could be more delicious than Xi Bai himself? So

after being hungry for several days and looking forward to it for the whole afternoon, Gu Chi, who only ate a few plates of beef in the evening, could no longer control his restless instinct after falling asleep.

The black mist with the breath of the Ghost King spread from the bed, rushing to the outside like countless black hunters. After tearing apart a few fierce ghosts who were not aware of their own lives and came to test and provoke, the long mist seemed to have finally found its direction and rushed in one direction.

Seeing that the situation seemed not so dangerous, the hidden ghosts poked their heads out to see the direction where the black mist was going.

Where is it going?

It seems to be still within the dormitory area?

The ghosts who realized this decided to climb trees or go back to the dog holes. One by one, they all retreated silently.

The black fog stayed in front of a very clean balcony. On the clothesline of the next dormitory, there were several gray jerseys hanging after washing.

In comparison, the dormitory separated by a wall was much cleaner. Even the washbasin did not have any traces of moldy moss. Several simple white T-shirts were blown up by the wind, and the fragrance was overflowing.

The clothes were lifted higher by a gust of wind, and when they fell again, the black mist had already drilled into the cracks and corners around the balcony door like countless spirit snakes.

As the last strand of black mist sank into the cracks, the whole area was like a forest where beasts returned to their nests, and all the pressure was swept away at this moment.

Another group of ghosts stretched their necks and began to look around. After confirming that there seemed to be no danger, the brave ghosts floated out first.

Many ghosts, big and small, gathered together, chattering about the incident just now, but no one could give an answer. What was the source of the terrible pressure just now?

At this time.

Xi Bai's bedroom fell into an extreme silence.

The black mist filled the ceiling, walls and every corner, as if a layer of cotton cloud was painted on the house.

All the movement and stillness were blocked outside the clouds. At this moment, Xibai's dormitory seemed like a secluded cave isolated from the world, and the clouds and mists floating around were the giant dragons guarding the treasures. What a nice

smell.

Really nice smell.

The black mist roared silently and kept flowing in the house, but when it approached Xibai, it obviously slowed down its movements.

Xibai slept uncomfortably, half lying on the bed crookedly, with one arm stretched out from the edge of the quilt. Against the background of the black mist, it looked even whiter than usual.

I don't know if he dreamed of something or was just mumbling in a half-asleep state. Xibai made a soft "hmm".

But it made the black mist agitated again and swam around him.

And the next moment, Xibai rolled over with the quilt rolled up.

As he moved, Gu Chi, who was still in his dream and several buildings away, immediately smelled a strong aroma that drove him crazy.

His appetite reached its peak at this moment, and he could no longer control his instinct of desire.

The black mist tried to touch Xi Bai, and the moment it touched, the hungry traveler finally tasted the long-awaited feast.

Countless black mists were like chains, encircling Xi Bai's wrists, ankles, and slender neck. The tip of the mist was not satisfied yet, and it continued to swirl upwards, and finally countless black mists rolled into a ball. As the mist rolled, from a distance, it looked like a tall figure with long arms and legs, hugging Xi Bai tightly in his broad arms.

And Xi Bai... had a dream.

He dreamed of a lot of messy things.

Xi Bai dreamed that he and Gu Chi became roommates.

The two got along well and lived a very peaceful and harmonious campus life.

But one day, when Xi Bai returned to the dormitory with grilled cold noodles, he was knocked to the ground by a big dog as soon as he opened the door.

The big dog put its front paws on his shoulders and licked his face with its warm tongue. It was so passionate that Xibai couldn't resist it. He pushed the dog out a little and called out,

"Gu Chi!"

After calling out, he realized that the dormitory was empty and there was no trace of Gu Chi.

Little did he know that at this moment,

the dog started talking.

"I'm here."

It was Gu Chi's voice.

Xibai stared at the big plush dog that was still shaking its ears and laughing at him.

The next moment he was stunned, the space around him twisted and the dormitory instantly fell into endless darkness.

The big plush dog turned into the ghost king in his dream without any warning.

Before Xibai could react, he was pressed to the ground by the ghost king, his hands and feet were restrained, and he couldn't move.

Xibai's breathing almost stagnated, his eyes were fixed, and in the black mist around him, he saw the Ghost King leaning down.

A cold stinging sensation, along with the thin lips attached, pierced into his wrist pulse fiercely.

He felt his blood flowing out of his body.

The Ghost King was drinking his blood!

"Ah!!!"

Xibai sat up suddenly from the bed, the dazzling morning sun shone through the window, dazzling for a while.

But at the same time, Xibai, who had just woken up, clearly realized that it was just a dream.

Ah, it was a dream.

Great, just a... dream?

Even the voice in his heart stopped at this moment. Xibai sat on the bed, the sound of the wind outside the window, the rustling of the leaves, at this moment, all turned into a high-frequency tinnitus that drilled straight into his brain.

His heart was beating like an alarm.

The cuffs of his silk pajamas were curled up at the elbows because of his restless sleep, and Xibai's hands were exposed, resting on his legs.

In the morning light outside, Xibai could clearly see a very clear, bright red mark on his wrist.

It was a tooth mark.

It was at the place where the ghost king bit his wrist in his dream.
