Chapter 15 Chapter 15
"You two came to the furniture store today. Are you buying things?"
"Yes."
"What did you buy?"
"Beds and mattresses."
"Oh! Is it a new home?"
Gu Chi came back to his senses and glanced at the microphone in front of him.
New home? He thought about it. He moved from his original dormitory to Xibai's dormitory. It was not a new home for Xibai, but for him, it should be.
So Gu Chi nodded.
"Yes, new home. We are roommates."

On the other side, Xibai dived into the small woods filled with black mist. He first hid behind a tree, panting and holding the tree trunk and hesitated for a while.
But seeing that the Black and White Impermanence seemed to turn around and take the paper ghost away, he quickly emerged from his hiding place and stepped forward to bow.
"Please stay, my lords."
The Black and White Impermanence froze and slowly turned their heads.
Xie Bian and Fan Wushe stayed behind, originally just to hide and watch, to see what a living person who could be favored by the Ghost King looked like.
But they didn't expect to be caught by Xi Bai.
The two Impermanence looked at each other nervously, and Xie Bian slowly opened his mouth.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Xi Bai was about to speak, but was stunned.
The Black and White Impermanence in front of him seemed different from what he had seen before.
The crying stick in Bai Wuchang's hand was longer, and there were more strips of cloth; the chain of Hei Wuchang was longer, and the black mist and luster around it were more intense... Xi Bai thought for a while and had a guess in his mind.
"You two, could it be the two Lords Xie and Fan?"
The Black and White Impermanence shuddered. They were recognized just like that?
Xibai would not complain to Lord Ghost King, would he?
So Xie Bian and Fan Wushe hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Yes, it is..."
Xibai was delighted. Sure enough, he was not mistaken.
He looked at the stiff movements of Xie Bian and Fan Wushe, and thought that they were indeed the first two Black and White Impermanence. They were really different! It was obvious that they had been dead for a long time. They were old civil servants of the underworld!
"My Lords, I have a favor to ask." Xibai bent even lower.
Xie Bian and Fan Wushe bent even lower: "No, no, please speak."
Xibai stood up, thinking that these two Impermanence were quite polite.
He did not want to expose himself at first. After all, humans and ghosts are on different paths, and the yin and yang are separate. He has always adhered to the principle of having little contact with irrelevant yin objects.
But for today's matter, he really didn't know who else to turn to except the underworld.
"It's like this, my two lords. Today, I helped with this paper ghost..."
"And I also burned yellow paper petitions many times in the past to seek justice for those ghosts who died unjustly."
Xie Bian and Fan Wushe looked at each other. Although they didn't know why Xi Bai said this, they still followed the conversation and praised: "Young master, you are kind-hearted." "
Thank you." Xi Bai saw that Xie Bian was polite and felt a little more confident.
So, he said, "I wonder if you two can do me a small favor, just as a way of returning the favor... I will definitely help you more in the future."
Xie Bian immediately responded, "Young sir, please speak."
"Do you have the Book of Life and Death?" Xi Bai saw an opportunity and immediately asked, "Can you check the Book of Life and Death for me to see how many years of life I have left?"
The Book of Life and Death is something that the God of Death must have in his hands. Before summoning a soul, he needs to check the name, surname, and life span of the living soul. Only after confirming that they are correct can he summon the soul to the underworld.
But Xie Bian groaned and hesitated.
Xi Bai asked, "What's wrong?"
Fan Wushe explained, "It's not that we don't want to help you... It's just that the Book of Life and Death belongs to the underworld, and the contents on it must not be revealed to mortals." "
Is that so?" Xi Bai was a little disappointed, but then he thought about it and an idea came to him, saying, "Instead of telling me how many years I have left, tell me whether I still have time to live. At least confirm whether I will die tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Xie Bian and Fan Wushe looked at each other.
"This..."
Although this request sounded strange.
"... But from the perspective of the rules, it seems to be okay."
So the two impermanent summoned the Book of Life and Death on the spot, and the Yin Qi swept through the pages. After flipping through and checking, Xie Bian closed the Book of Life and Death and put it away.
"Please rest assured, young master. You have done a great deed and have nothing to worry about."
Xibai smiled, "Ah, haha, OK, I understand."
"Thank you very much, sirs!" Xibai bowed again, "Then I won't bother you with your work."
The Black and White Impermanence quickly returned the greeting.
Xibai left, while Xie Bian and Fan Wushe remained where they were.
"Hey, Old Fan." Xie Bian touched Fan Wushe's arm beside him, and looked at Xi Bai's receding back, "Do you think that the young master had a murderous look in his eyes when he left just now?"
Fan Wushe said, "Whatever, it's fine as long as he's not coming for us."
"I was really scared just now, I thought he found out we were peeking and was going to report to the adults."
"Let's go, it will be troublesome if the adults find out we are still here."
Two figures, one black and one white, disappeared with the paper ghost, and the surrounding fog also dissipated.
Xi Bai walked back with a brisk pace, a smile on his lips, and a little chill inside.
Sure enough, the ghost king lied to him. What a pervert!
Gu Chi, who was talking in front of the camera, suddenly felt his nose itchy. He turned his face away and sneezed.
When Xibai came out of the bathroom at night, the workers had already installed the newly purchased bed frame and put on the mattress.
He wiped his hair, raised his head and looked at Gu Chi who was putting sheets and pillows on the bed, and nodded with satisfaction.
Finally, the space didn't seem cramped anymore.
"This bed is good." Xibai said.
Gu Chi looked down, and his overly sensitive inhuman vision accurately captured a drop of water sliding down Xibai's hair, along her slender neck, into the collar of her pajamas, and finally disappearing under her white collarbone.
His voice was a little tense, and he hummed softly.
"It's okay."
What do you mean it's okay? It's obviously very good!
Xi Bai said: "This bed looks like it can accommodate two people. You are too big for it."
Gu Chi crossed his long legs and sat on the bed, with his back against the wall.
He lowered his eyelids and first looked at the remaining space outside of himself, then moved his eyes horizontally, looking at Xi Bai from top to bottom.
"But you seem to be smaller."
Feeling ridiculed, Xi Bai said angrily: "Don't compare me with your classmates! You are all 185cm tall basketball students, of course you think I am small!"
Gu Chi: "Hmm..."
Xi Bai: ...
Wait, it seems a little ambiguous.
He realized that the look in Gu Chi's eyes when he just looked at him and his bed could be interpreted in another way.
Although he didn't know whether the other party really had this idea, he couldn't help but listen.
With a flick of the switch, Xibai quickly climbed onto the bed in the darkness with a pair of red ears.
"Asleep!"
Gu Chi lay in the darkness, listening to the gradually steady breathing on the opposite side.
Xibai slept soundly, but his mind was lingering with questions that had not yet been answered.
Tonight, Xie Bian and Fan Wushe listened to Gu Chi's doubts.
He did get the answer to the matter of 110. Gu Chi remembered the wrong number. The holiday celebrated by humans was 520, and the 110 that Xibai called was the police call.
After the Black and White Impermanence explained what the police were, Gu Chi finally realized that he had misunderstood Xibai.
He had no other feelings for the paper ghost.
But Gu Chi also had a second problem.
Xibai... wouldn't mistake his current self, Gu Chi, for a human, right?
Xie Bian and Fan Wushe told him that this was very possible.
Although Gu Chi had transformed into a human form, he had never concealed his true aura, otherwise Xie Bian and Fan Wushe would not be able to see through his disguise.
Could it be that Xibai couldn't see it?
He originally thought that the attitude Xibai showed after seeing his human form was a process of transformation from resistance to acceptance.
But if Xibai didn't know that he was the ghost who entered his dream that day, this would explain why Xibai took the paper ghost from his hand with an expressionless face today, and then deliberately avoided him before meeting Xie Bian and Fan Wushe, leaving him to accept the boring thing of talking to the machine.
Gu Chi sat up from the bed.
Even though the light was dim, he could still clearly see every hair on the sleeping person on the bed opposite.
The facial features were delicate and small, and the skin was very white and looked soft.
Gu Chi decided to do a test.
He lay down again and closed his eyes.
A black mist overflowed from the center of his eyebrows, spanning across the two ends of the dormitory, and after drawing an arc in the air, it penetrated into Xi Bai's forehead.
