Chapter 44 Chapter 44

Maybe it’s been too long since I helped Gu Chi.

This time, I spent less time on Gu Chi than last time, but it took me longer to wash my hands.

I also used more hand sanitizer than before.

His palms turned white from rubbing them himself, and then turned red from freezing water.

Xi Bai wanted to splash cold water on his face to cool down, but when he thought about how he had just grabbed Gu Chi, he still couldn’t get over it.

Why did he do that with Gu Chi again!

Xi Bai closed his eyes.

After the last time, he made up his mind to make Gu Chi’s feelings clear, and he would not let such ambiguous things happen again before he and the other party were officially together.

But when he was held in his arms, flirting with a large dog... and rubbing against Gu Chi who was in heat, his rationality seemed to be melted by the hot chest, and Xibai fell again.

Rationality is like water in a bottle, as long as there is a hole, there will be no drop left.

Later, all that was left in Xibai's mind was Gu Chi's breathing, Gu Chi's body temperature, Gu Chi's touch, and after the final explosion, what Gu Chi left behind... Xibai

was startled, and came to his senses and looked at the source of the sound coming from the side.

Gu Chi took out a stack of tissues and handed them to him.

"Wipe it..."

The dog eyes that were obviously filled with gluttony looked at Xibai's clean hands, and Gu Chi paused.

"Oh, it's clean... It's okay, you can wipe the water off your hands."

Xibai was about to take the tissue:...

Didn't you ask him to wipe the water off his hands!

Gu Chi's tone was so normal and natural that Xibai couldn't question him. If he did, he would seem like he had ulterior motives.

However... Xibai coughed twice. He did have ulterior motives.

The two sat together and started eating takeout. Xibai picked an anime to play.

But he didn't watch a single word of the anime that usually goes well with rice tonight.

Xibai took a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it tastelessly.

He turned to look at Gu Chi, who was also looking at him.

Xibai was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and didn't pay attention to the taste when he took the pizza. Now he came to his senses and chewed it twice, tasting a sweet taste.

He took the takeaway receipt and took a look. The slice in his hand was ordered by Gu Chi, with cream mushroom chicken flavor.

When it was made, a special white cream sauce was added, and it was spread evenly on the crust with mushroom slices, marinated chicken pieces and shredded cheese.

The piece that Xibai took happened to have the most sauce, and it was fragrant when he took a bite, but at the same time, a few drops of milky white cream juice overflowed from the corners of his lips.

The lips were rosy and the cream juice was white, which was enough to make people's hearts flutter when put together, not to mention that Xibai still had two blushes on his cheeks.

The "culprit" who caused the two red spots appeared in his mind again.

Gu Chi stared at him and stopped eating the chicken wings in his hand.

He felt his throat tighten for some reason, and his other hand came out to fumble on the table for a while, and then pulled out two more pieces of paper.

"Wipe..." Gu Chi said dryly, "The corner of the mouth."

Xi Bai thought something was stuck on his face, "Oh, okay."

Xi Bai took the paper, and Gu Chi turned around and took a sip of the Coke next to him.

The cool liquid mixed with bubbles soaked his throat, and Gu Chi's voice was a little less hoarse.

He pushed the meat sauce pizza in front of him towards Xi Bai, looking very obedient.

"The flavor you want."

"I'll finish this." Xibai raised the remaining half of the creamy mushroom chicken pizza in his hand and answered.

When Xibai finished eating the remaining half of the juicy pizza and wiped the cream juice that flowed down his fingertips with a tissue, he heard the sound of a straw next to him.

Gu Chi put down the Coke.

"Just finished it?" Xibai was stunned. Gu Chi

nodded.

Xibai pushed his can over, "You drink it, I don't like soda very much."

Gu Chi thought about it and didn't refuse.

Xibai wiped his hands and rubbed the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.

He half covered his lips with his palm, but more importantly, he wanted to hide his expression.

But no matter how deep one's thoughts are, they will be revealed in his eyes. When Xi Bai opened his mouth, the light on the ceiling of the dormitory reflected in his eyes shook slightly.

"Gu Chi."

Gu Chi looked over immediately.

He bit the straw, and there were several clear teeth marks on the tip of the straw. Looking into Xi Bai's eyes, Gu Chi's pupils trembled slightly.

"...What's wrong?" Gu Chi

's heart skipped a beat.

Could Xi Bai have heard what he was thinking just now?

...Wouldn't it scare him?

After all, Xi Bai had read his mental activities completely since the first meeting.

Gu Chi felt that he was facing an unresolved trial, and tension quietly filled his heart.

He waited for what Xi Bai was going to say, staring at the lips that had just made his heart beat faster and his heart flutter.

Gu Chi pursed his lips, and saw the lips opening and closing.

"What do you think of the thing we just did?"

What Xi Bai said was completely different from what Gu Chi thought.

He was stunned, "That thing?"

What kind of thing?

Xi Bai choked, not knowing what to say.

After a long silence, he hinted almost explicitly, "Bathroom..."

"Oh!" Gu Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xi Bai did not read his unbearable voice, causing the subconscious thoughts to blurt out directly, "I think it's very comfortable."

"Very..."

Xibai's mouth twitched a few times.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He felt that he was more choked now than when Gu Chi asked him "what kind of thing" just now.

This guy really...

Xibai almost gave up. He was sure that Gu Chi's way of thinking was completely different from that of normal people.

Forget it, it's not the first time anyway.

Xibai waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

But his evasive attitude was clearly seen by Gu Chi.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chi asked, feeling that Xibai was not in a good mood.

Seeing that Xibai just shook his head and avoided talking, Gu Chi became more anxious.

He wanted Xibai to stop hiding and looking at him, but his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.

"Xibai."

Gu Chi's voice was a little different from before. This time, when he called Xibai's name, there was obviously a hint of...shyness in his tone.

Xibai blinked with his back turned, thinking that he must have heard it right. Gu Chi's tone just now was shy?

So he turned his head.

As expected, Gu Chi turned his face to the side and looked at the ground. He even poked his cheek with his fingers and scratched it gently.

Gu Chi is really shy!

The boy in front of him had two red ears and didn't dare to look him in the eye. It can be said that this is very different from the Gu Chi who usually said innocent words that made people's heart beat faster.

So what is Gu Chi shy about?

As soon as this question popped up in Xibai's mind, Gu Chi gave him a direct answer.

"How about... I can help you too?"

Gu Chi added, as if he was afraid that Xibai didn't know what he was talking about.

"It's really comfortable."

Xibai's mind exploded again with a bang.

※

In the middle of the night, a black shadow passed through the overlapping shadows of trees, and a shrill crow cry sounded among the dead forest.

The mountain was filled with a faint mist, and Gu Chi's figure stopped in a relatively empty forest. The high and waning moon cast a silver glow on his shoulders.

He closed his eyes and said, "Come out."

As his voice fell, a thin figure walked out from the intertwined mist and trees.

Wu Xiang sneered, "I thought you weren't coming."

"It's not me who has a lot of sins on my shoulders, a document from the underworld hanging over my head, and a thousand years of punishment in hell." Gu Chi retorted, his pupils turning into scarlet vertical lines while he was speaking, revealing his murderous intent, "Even if there is someone who dares not show up, it should be you."

Wu Xiang clicked his tongue, "After so many years, you are still so stupid and don't know what I'm talking about at all."

He looked at Gu Chi and laughed, "That human named Xibai won't eat vegetarian food every day with you."

"We had meat at night," Gu Chi said proudly.

It was pizza.

Wu Xiang has been punished in hell for thousands of years, and he must have never eaten such good food.

Wu Xiang: ...

I surrender to this fool.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Wufang waved his hand and changed the subject, "I want to discuss something with you."

Gu Chi frowned and looked at him.

Wufang coughed twice, and his expression seemed a little embarrassed.

He looked aside and said, "Well, I decided to do good deeds to atone for my sins."

Gu Chi was stunned, "What?"

He asked again, thinking he had heard it

wrong. Wufang tutted his tongue and cursed, "Why are you pretending to be deaf? You must have heard it!"

Gu Chi did hear it, but he just couldn't believe that the other party would say such a thing.

He looked Wufang up and down, and the murderous intent in his eyes dissipated a little, as if he was relieved.

"Are you sure?"

There are more than tens of millions of evil ghosts in the world, many of them are minor evils, but not many are major evils. The vast majority of ghosts are sentenced to various hells to pay for their sins before and after their lives after being sentenced by the underworld.

But there are also a few powerful ghosts, such as Wufang, who have been wandering in the world since ancient times.

Instead of letting such ghosts simply suffer punishment, it is better to use their power well.

Therefore, the first generation of the underworld rulers tens of millions of years ago issued a decree that if the big ghosts are willing to do good deeds to atone for their sins, they can be exempted from the process of suffering in hell, accumulate merits with good deeds, and offset their sins.

For example, many mounts under the command of Bodhisattvas and ghost kings in the underworld are ancient monsters that were conquered in similar situations.

Of course, there are some big ghosts who disdain this, such as Wuchang in front of him.

Wuchang's attitude is that it is natural for ghosts to eat humans. He has been arrogant in the world for many years, how can he bend down and help humans.

After losing a battle with Gu Chi, Wuchang still had no intention of repenting, so Gu Chi suppressed Wuchang in the ghost prison according to the provisions of the calendar, and it has been a thousand years since then.

Who would have thought that this guy would suddenly change his nature today.

Gu Chi thought of the key goal that Wuchang lost in the first half of the game in the afternoon, and suddenly understood and laughed.

"What are you laughing at!" Wuchang was angry and gritted his teeth, "You reacted quickly enough?"

He saw Zhuang Shu in the afternoon, as if he was possessed.

Wufang's hands were stained with a lot of blood thousands of years ago, including immortals, demons, humans and gods, but he had never felt the same as when he met Zhuang Suan this afternoon.

It was a very strange feeling, and he couldn't describe it.

But an idea came to his mind: he wanted to stand by Zhuang Shu openly.

Gu Chi said, "I don't know who said this afternoon that he liked humans to lose face."

Wufang cursed, "Okay, you are not embarrassed, then why don't you catch that human!"

Gu Chi didn't care at all. He coaxed Xi Bai to sleep before coming out.

At night they also... cough.

Gu Chi coughed lightly, using the night to hide the blush on his face.

Although he did not expect the other party to change so abruptly and quickly, overall, this is also a good thing.

If Wufang really stops harming people, then Xibai will be safe.

This is what Gu Chi cares about most.

He is most afraid that Wufang will be as crazy and carefree as he was a thousand years ago, with the only thought of destroying and destroying the world, and he noticed the relationship between himself and Xibai - this is the most dangerous.

This is why Gu Chi was so worried every time he detected the breath left by Wufang on Xibai.

However, it is not surprising that Wufang would take the initiative to find him and say that he wanted to repent and atone for his sins.

If not, the millions of ghosts and soldiers in the underworld will keep capturing him endlessly. Even if Wuxiang can change his skin and identity, he will never have peace.

A ghost with love in his heart must be different from before.

He glanced at Wuxiang who was leaning against the tree with his arms folded, and took a few steps back. Gu Chi pointed to the place where he had just stood, "If you are sure, come here quickly."

He still had to go back to sleep with Xi Bai.

After saying this, Wuxiang, who had a defiant look on his face from the beginning, finally revealed some poorly concealed struggle.

He stared at the place where Gu Chi pointed for a while, then took a step forward.

Wuchang bit his back teeth, his face bulged due to excessive force, and his steps were unusually heavy.

Until he stood at the place where Gu Chi pointed, he felt that the moonlight in the sky was concentrated on him at this moment.

During this time, Gu Chi kept his eyes closed, muttering ancient spells in a low voice.

Wuchang stood there, staring at the ground, and then staring at Gu Chi over there. He raised one hand and looked at his palm, only to feel that the moonlight falling from above his head was getting brighter and brighter.

The palm, which was already bloodless, was reflected even paler. Until the moment Gu Chi opened his eyes, Wuchang's pupils shrank into a small dot because of excessive fear.

He regretted it.

"I don't..."

The next moment, a bright light shone from under Wucang's feet. A moon ring fell from the sky, creating a circle of dazzling silver light on the ground around Wucang's feet.

In the flashing silver light, countless indecipherable ancient characters slowly floated up, like a nimble fish, circling Wucang's body all the way up, and constantly shrinking inward.

Wucang in the halo seemed to be experiencing great pain, his eyes were bloodshot, and his human body could not withstand the excessive pressure. It began to crack all over, and blood was dripping out.

He heard countless sounds in his ears, layered on top of each other, like the sound of bees and thunder.

"Ahh..."

Wuchang screamed miserably out of control. He tried to use his hands to push away the halo, but his fingers passed through the light and shadow and could not make any obstruction.

Until finally the halo shrank to the size of a bowl and clamped around his neck.

Wuchang fell to his knees, breathing heavily, as if he had just died.

The halo had also turned into a circle of bright red ancient curse characters, which pierced into Wuchang's flesh like a tattoo.

Since he was a big ghost, he wanted to leave the ghost prison, even if he went to do good deeds, the underworld would definitely monitor him.

The curse seal was created by the first generation of ghost kings. It was a restraint on these big ghosts and a place to calculate their accumulated merits.

"As you accumulate more merits, the blood words on the curse will gradually turn golden. When the whole circle is golden, your sins will be redeemed."

"Of course, if you have the intention to harm others..." Gu Chi's expression turned cold.

The blood words will explode directly and tear his soul apart completely.

This is also the most direct and effective shackle set by the underworld for those big ghosts in Xuancheng who want to "do good and change their ways.

" "Okay, stay away from Xibai in the future and redeem your sins in the human world."

Gu Chi finished casting the spell, turned around, and spoke again as if he remembered something.

"By the way, let me tell you something." Wu

Fang pinched his neck with one hand, trying to create pain for himself to relieve the excessive pain brought by the curse mark.

Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Gu Chi viciously.

"Humans won't be tempted by ghosts."

Wuchang was stunned. He looked at Gu Chi's back and found that the other party's tone seemed to have changed.

"Then you and..."

Gu Chi looked in the direction of the dormitory in the distance, sighed and let out a breath of amusement.

"Okay." Wuchang supported the ground with his palms and slowly stood up.

He understood.

A black light crossed the sky, and "Gu Chi" in the dormitory opened his eyes.

He half-sat up with the pillow, looking down at his arms.

Xibai must be really tired, sleeping more soundly than before, and seemed to be disturbed when Gu Chi got up. He snorted twice in dissatisfaction, groped with one hand, and grabbed Gu Chi's arm.

The white palm, which was obviously two sizes smaller, pinched the muscles on the arm twice, and after venting his dissatisfaction, Xibai fell asleep again.

The tenderness and love in Gu Chi's eyes completely cleared away the coldness and murderous intent that he had just brought back from the outside.

His eyeballs turned back to the warm light brown, and Gu Chi raised his hand and gently rubbed Xibai's face with his thumb.

"Xibai..." Gu Chi sighed softly.

When will he be able to show his true appearance to his sweetheart.

After the final exams, there were still a few interesting lectures. Xibai brought breakfast to the classroom, chose a seat in the front row, and took a photo for Zhuang Suan and sent it to him.

[White: Sit here [Picture]]

[The Divine Calculator: No, choose a seat in the back row today! ]

[The Divine Calculator: Three seats! ]

Three?

Xi Bai was puzzled. Usually he and Zhuang Suan sat in the front row during class. There were few people and they didn’t need to reserve seats. It was basically just the two of them.

What happened today?

After walking among many students who came early to occupy the back row to finish their classes, Xibai finally found three empty seats.

After sending another photo to Zhuang Suan, Xibai began to eat breakfast while aimlessly checking messages.

[Gu: Have you arrived in the classroom?]

Xibai put down the glutinous rice chicken in his hand and took a piece of paper to wipe his mouth.

[White: We are here]

After hesitating for a while, he sent another message.

[White: What's the matter?]

[Gu: Nothing]

[Gu: Just asking, I want to talk to you]

Xibai's ears turned a little red.

[Gu: You didn't even call me when you got up in the morning, and you left by yourself]

Xibai:!

A voice came from behind.

"Xibao!"

Xibai hurriedly put his phone on the table and turned around to greet.

"Little garlic... eh?"

Beside Zhuang Suan, Zhuang Shu was waving with a smile, "Good morning, pretty girl, why are your ears so red?"

"Yeah, yeah." Zhuang Suan heard this and observed curiously, "They are so red, are they frozen or something?"

"No, I just rubbed them a little." Xi Bai found an excuse to excuse himself.

He stood up and made room for the two of them. When Zhuang Shu and Zhuang Suan walked sideways to the inside of the seat, Xi Bai took another look at the message and quickly typed a reply.

[White: I left in a hurry this morning]

[White: [Big dog running]]

[White: I have to go to class first]

Gu Chi replied to the message very quickly, as if he was waiting for his reply with his mobile phone.

[Gu: Hmm]

[Gu: [Big dog rubbing]]

Xibai's ears felt hot again, and his fingertips touched the emoji of the big white dog that was being touched on the top of its head with its eyes narrowed and rubbed non-stop.

He also wanted to touch Gu Chi's head like this.

Zhuang Shu and Zhuang Suan sat down, and Xibai hurried in as well.

The two brothers came to the classroom on time, and the bell rang soon after.

The teacher was teaching in the front row, and the students in the back row were busy with their own things. Xibai lowered his voice.

"Brother Zhuang, why are you here today too?"

Zhuang Shu smiled and pointed at Xibai, "Of course it's because of you!"

Xibai raised his finger and pointed at himself.

"Me?"

Zhuang Shu raised his eyebrows, took out his cell phone, opened an audio channel, and asked Zhuang Suan to pass it to Xibai.

"Remember to wear headphones."

Xibai took out the Bluetooth headphones and put them on the side facing away from the teacher's podium.

He glanced at the audio file name, which was the default one with no information.

After adjusting the volume and noise reduction mode to a suitable level, Xibai clicked play, and soon, he heard footsteps.

The sound quality of the recording sounded a bit masked, and it should have been recorded secretly with the phone in the pocket. Soon, Xibai confirmed his guess.

He heard two people talking, and they sounded a bit distant.

One of the owners of the voice was Zhuang Shu.

The other one identified it, and Xibai was surprised: It seemed to be Wu Xiang?

Zhuang Shu nodded, indicating that Xibai's guess was correct.

He pointed to the phone, motioning Xibai to listen first, "If you have any questions, ask them together at the end."

Xibai nodded.

He listened and found that Zhuang Shu and Wu Xiang were probably walking in the school, probably by the artificial lake. Zhuang Shu was the one asking questions the whole time, while Wu Xiang rarely spoke.

"Hey, when was this statue on the lake built?"

"..."

"Is your dormitory area over there?"

"Yeah, it seems..."

"What time is your library open? I haven't been there yet. Can you take me there?"

"Uh..."

The footsteps paused obviously, and Xibai heard Zhuang Shu asking with a harmless smile.

"How come you don't know anything? I thought you weren't a student of this school."

Wu Xiang fell into an obvious silence, but soon, Zhuang Shu spoke up to help him out.

"Oh, I see! You just transferred here and you're not familiar with the place yet, right?"

Wu Xiang hummed in a sullen voice.

The footsteps sounded again, and the progress bar also reached the second half. Wu Xiang seemed to be more silent than before. Zhuang Shu was chattering, and he only responded with monosyllables.

"Oh, yes." Zhuang Shu spoke again, "I remember Gu Chi is also a transfer student, it seems that you two are quite familiar with each other?"

"No." Wu Xiang still denied it decisively.

Zhuang Shu seemed not to have heard it, and continued to himself: "Speaking of which, Gu Chi..."

"He is a human."

This is Wu Xiang's voice.
