Chapter 63 Chapter 63
After Zhuang Suan finished speaking, he found that the people at the table were silent.
"What's wrong?"
He had just finished asking when he heard Zhuang Shu beside him laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Zhuang Suan said unconvincedly, "I didn't say anything wrong!"
At that time, the first person Xi Bao told was him!
Xi Bai glanced at Zhuang Shu, who had obviously guessed the truth, but seeing the other party's expression of covering his mouth and watching the show, he probably didn't want to say it out loud.
As for Xi Bai himself... he didn't know how to start. He
was so resistant at the beginning, but now he really likes it - he also wants to save face!
So before speaking out, Xi Bai had to do some psychological preparation.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that no one was talking, Zhuang Suan, who was standing next to him, looked like he had seen through everything but would not let him eat the melon. He suddenly became anxious, "You guys tell me!"
Gu Chi said, "Let me tell you."
Zhuang Suan immediately turned to look at him, his body unconsciously leaning forward.
"Tell me quickly."
Gu Chi: "I'm the gangster you're talking about."
Zhuang Suan:?
He looked to the side and saw Xi Bai nodded.
The scene was quiet for a second.
Zhuang Suan, who was leaning forward, immediately retracted.
His back was pressed against the booth, and his feet under the table were still constantly stepping on the ground, trying to push himself back.
Zhuang Suan pointed at Gu Chi sitting opposite him, and looked around with horror. He grabbed Zhuang Shu's sleeve with his other hand, and his voice changed, "Brother! He, he, he!"
"What are you afraid of? No one is going to kill you!" Zhuang Shu freed his sleeve, with a look of disgust, "Don't tear my new clothes out of shape."
Zhuang Suan was certainly not afraid.
But he was shocked!
No, how could Gu Chi be that ghost... Isn't he an extremely yang body... Didn't Xi Bai say that the ghost stopped harassing him after he lived with Gu Chi... Wait, is this a conspiracy! Gu Chi, he, he...
His brain was overloaded, and Zhuang Suan felt that his brain could no longer handle such a huge amount of information.
So he rolled his eyes and fell on the sofa, screaming.
The waiter who heard the sound came over and asked if there was any accident.
Zhuang Shu waved his hands to indicate that he was fine. Seeing that the waiter was still worried and unwilling to leave, he raised a finger, pointed at his temple, sighed and shook his head.
The waiter blinked, then nodded in understanding, and left quietly.
Zhuang Suan, who closed his eyes, had no idea that his brother was throwing dirty water on his IQ. He silently pinched his philtrum for five minutes, and then slowly sat up from the sofa.
"Then Xibao, you two now..."
When he saw Xibai holding Gu Chi's hand and raising it from under the table, Zhuang Suan closed his eyes again.
The chef prepared the hot pot for them. As the red pot boiled, other dishes were served one after another.
"This is fat beef, simmer for 8 seconds; this is fresh tripe, I usually simmer for 15 to 20 seconds to make it a little more cooked; this is shrimp paste, I'll put it in first..." Xibai introduced the hot pot dishes to Gu Chi one by one, and the latter followed his instructions to simmer the meat.
Xibai prepared two kinds of dipping sauces, one of which was his homemade flavor - sesame sauce mixed with shacha sauce and some peanuts, and then seasoned with sugar and vinegar, and then used oyster sauce to enhance the flavor; the other was the traditional garlic sauce.
"You can try them all and see which one you like better." Xibai said.
Gu Chi dipped the tripe in the sauce, and dipped the fat beef in Xibai's secret sauce.
"How is it?"
"I like babies." Gu Chi said.
There was a series of thudding sounds coming from the other side.
Xi Bai thought something was wrong, but he looked nervously and saw Zhuang Suan banging his head against the back of the sofa.
And Zhuang Shu next to him...
Zhuang Shu was taking pictures with his mobile phone.
"Hey, mom, did you see that? I told you not to put so much pressure on Little Suantou. Look, he's gone crazy..."
Zhuang Shu laughed and dodged, avoiding Zhuang Suan's hand that was trying to grab his phone.
Zhuang Suan was indeed very stimulated. On the one hand, he was still tapping his toes because he had just complained in front of Gu Chi that the other party was a gangster. On the other hand, he didn't understand: why is he still single!
"I'm single too." Zhuang Shu interrupted.
Xibai said, "Where are you and Xu Xiao? Didn't I see you two often going to class together before? Have you not been in touch recently?
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Zhuang Suan turned his face away awkwardly and guilty, and even his tone of voice was stuttering, and he could not answer anything except uh and ah.
Gu Chi, who was standing aside, was trying hard to deal with the duck blood that Xibai had just put into his bowl. Hearing this, he began to think.
What did Xu Xiao say to him last time when he was drinking in the cafeteria?
Xibai saw Gu Chi eating duck blood and reminded him, "It is better to soak the duck blood in a saucepan to cool it down, otherwise it will easily burn your mouth when you eat it."
Gu Chi nodded, "Okay, thank you, baby. "
As for Xu Xiao... forget it, forget it. "
Zhuang Shu sent the video he had just taken to the family group and put away his phone.
"Speaking of which." He was talking to Gu Chi, "Since you are not a human, could that boy named Wu Xiang also be... oh?"
Gu Chi:...
"Okay, I know the answer." Zhuang Shu smiled knowingly.
Gu Chi silently picked up two shrimps, and after making sure they were cooked, he gave the bigger one to Xi Bai. After
dinner, everyone went back to North City University for a walk.
"It's the first time I've spent the New Year at school." Zhuang Suan walked on the empty school road, blowing the evening breeze and couldn't help sighing, "There are so few people!"
Zhuang Shu walked ahead with his hands behind his back, swaying, and suddenly remembered, so he turned around and asked.
"Are you two still living on campus?"
Xi Bai was leaning on Gu Chi's shoulder, rubbing the sleeves of her boyfriend's shirt with her fingers, rubbing the fabric which felt very good.
He nodded, "Well, it's a double room anyway, just the two of us."
"Hehe." Zhuang Shu smiled with a bit of lewdness, "Then it's better to move out, so that some things won't disturb others."
Xi Bai understood what he meant, and her face became hot.
"We're not progressing that fast yet..."
Zhuang, who was walking in front to avoid being blinded by the two guys in the hot period of love, heard it from a distance, turned around and said, "It's good to move out, and we can sleep in a big bed together."
Xi Bai blinked, and suddenly realized something.
But before he could stop Gu Chi, the latter had already blurted out the words.
"We have been sleeping together for half a year."
Zhuang Suan stumbled and fell to the ground.
Gu Chi was about to say something, but Xi Bai quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
To prevent him from saying something that he shouldn't say, something that is not suitable for children, and giving Xiao Suantou some unbearable life blows.
Zhuang Shu, who was passing by, picked up his brother. The first thing Zhuang Suan did after he stood up was to touch his chest, turn around, and point at Xi Bai with grief.
[○Д○]/
"Xibao, you!"
Xi Bai retracted his hand that was covering Gu Chi's mouth.
He quietly hid behind Gu Chi and rested his head on his boyfriend's back.
Help!
It's the long-awaited emoticon attack!
※
After seeing off Zhuang Suan, who had been overly stimulated that night, and Zhuang Shu, who had received too many ugly videos of his brother, Xibai and Gu Chi finally returned to their own world, leaning on each other as they walked towards the school road leading to the dormitory.
"Do you like the hot pot tonight?" Xibai asked.
He raised his face slightly when he spoke, and he could just see Gu Chi's tall nose from this angle.
My boyfriend is so handsome.
Gu Chi nodded, "It's good, but a little spicy."
"Next time I'll take you to eat Dongpo elbow? Sweet and salty Jiangnan cuisine." Xibai said with a smile.
"Okay." Gu Chi naturally wanted to go with Xibai.
Xibai's eyes quietly looked down, "But remember to exercise after eating the elbow."
He didn't want any accidents to Gu Chi's eight-pack abs.
"Yeah." Gu Chi lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Anytime, waiting for the baby to check."
"Where did you learn that?" Xi Bai muttered shyly.
A breeze blew behind his neck, Xi Bai turned around, and his sharp eyes caught a flash of golden light.
The light flashed by, and then, as if deliberately avoiding, it hid behind a dead tree on the side of the road.
Gu Chi hooked his finger towards the woods.
Xi Bai thought it was not an illusion, there really was something.
A golden light poked out from behind the tree trunk, and after confirming that Gu Chi was really calling him, it flew over.
"It's a message from the soul." Gu Chi explained, reaching out to hold the small golden light.
Xibai looked curiously, and saw that there seemed to be a small thing in the golden light. He couldn't see what it was, but he felt that it was moving and alive.
It was just like the flying and glowing elves in fairy tales, and it looked quite dreamy.
Did something happen down there?
In the past few days, Xibai has gradually accepted and gotten used to the fact that he has a non-human boyfriend.
He even asked Gu Chi to change back to his original vertical pupils from time to time, like when he went out this morning, to satisfy his strange little habit.
"Do you need to go back?" Xibai asked.
Gu Chi pinched the face of his caring boyfriend, and after sensing the message in his soul, he smiled.
"No need." He reached out and touched Xibai's head, "Are you free next week?"
Xibai: "Yes, where are you going?"
Next week is still a holiday, and he has nowhere else to go. If there is a chance, of course he will go with Gu Chi.
Gu Chi's eyes turned into breathtaking red vertical pupils, which made the black shirt on his body more profound and mysterious, with a weird color that made people want to find out.
He leaned down slightly, and the smile at the corner of his lips made Xibai's heart beat faster and faster.
"Then I will take you to the underworld for a tour next week."
Gu Chi looked at the eyes that were slightly lit up, with only surprise and expectation in them, but no fear and worry. At this moment, his heart seemed to be filled with something warm and sweet.
He couldn't help but lower his head. He
kissed Xibai's lips devoutly.
※
After being told by Gu Chi that he was going to take him on a tour of the underworld, Xi Bai fell into a nervous feeling of facing the unknown.
When traveling to other places, he could at least go online to check the guides made by various bloggers.
But he was probably the first person to travel to the underworld.
"How many sets of clothes do I need to bring?"
"Is there food in the underworld? Do you want to bring some snacks?"
"Where are we staying..."
"Do you have any other relatives or friends there? I can bring them some special products from the human world?"
"Don't be nervous, we're just going to go shopping." Gu Chi reached out and touched the back of Xi Bai's neck, comforting his nervous boyfriend.
The warmth in his palm inexplicably made Xi Bai feel a little more at ease.
"No special products, and no need to bring anything else." Gu Chi said.
The underworld is filled with yin energy and there are many wandering ghosts. It is impossible for him to take Xibai's body to the underworld. When
a living person goes to the underworld, it is actually the "soul wandering outside the body" mentioned in various strange stories.
Whether it is in "Liao Zhai" or the opening of "Journey to the West" about Emperor Taizong's visit to the underworld, there are related records about this.
When he said that, Xibai remembered.
"So I just need to lie on the bed and wait for the soul to leave the body?"
Gu Chi nodded, "More or less."
"Yeah, you're here anyway." Xibai hugged Gu Chi's waist, rested his chin on his chest, and smiled with his face tilted up.
"Yeah." Gu Chi touched his nose and turned his face away.
But his erratic eyes still betrayed his inner thoughts.
He was a little drifting by Xibai's praise.
"Then when are we leaving?" Xibai asked expectantly.
"So anxious." Gu Chi smiled, his palm gently stroking the thin waist in his arms, "Aren't you the little guy who was afraid of everything before?"
"Love the house and love the dog." Xibai said.
In fact, what he said was true. After proving that Gu Chi was the King of Ghosts, Xi Bai inexplicably felt less afraid of the underworld and ghosts.
Perhaps it was because he had conquered the most powerful ghosts, and other ghosts didn't seem to be anything to be afraid of?
"Conquer?" Gu Chi raised his eyebrows, smiling.
Xi Bai looked at him with wide eyes, without saying a word. Gu Chi
bent down and kissed his face, but in the end he couldn't help it and left a small circle of teeth marks on that soft cheek.
"Ugh!" Xi Bai felt pain and looked at her boyfriend.
The big dog bit someone!
"So when are we going?" Xi Bai rubbed his face.
Gu Chi replied: "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival."
There are still seven days!
Xi Bai is looking forward to it, but he also thinks that seven days is too long! Otherwise
, he should arrange something else to do. He hasn't watched any of the movies released during the Spring Festival this year.
He turned around and prepared to look for his phone, but a pair of arms wrapped around his waist from behind and dragged Xibai back.
"Hey!" Xibai turned his head to look at Gu Chi's eyes that seemed to be able to speak. He understood the thoughts in them and immediately struggled, "Let me go!"
Gu Chi's eyes quickly turned into bright red vertical pupils.
Xibai suddenly calmed down a lot.
With the corners of his lips raised, Gu Chi pulled his reluctant boyfriend into his arms and pressed him against the edge of the table.
"You only know how to seduce me with your eyes." Xibai accused in a low voice.
Gu Chi pretended not to understand and lowered his head to kiss his ear.
The warm air made his voice low, and he bit the small red earlobe, and his red pupils flashed with a dark light that wanted to swallow people into his stomach.
With Xi Bai's exclamation, Gu Chi smiled and hugged him, turned around, sat on the table, and let Xi Bai sit on his lap.
Leaning back, Gu Chi stretched out his hand and unbuttoned a few more buttons of his black shirt, and his neatly arranged abdominal muscles were immediately visible.
"Didn't you say you were going to conquer me?" Gu Chi's fingers lingered on his beautiful muscle lines, "Come on."
Xi Bai raised his hands and covered his face.
He admitted that he had fallen the moment Gu Chi's eyes changed.

Soon, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is also called the Lantern Festival. In addition to the custom of eating glutinous rice balls, there is also the custom of guessing lantern riddles.
Students from North City University returned to school one after another after the New Year holidays, and the campus became lively again.
The student union organized a lantern puzzle party. Starting in the afternoon, countless lanterns with puzzles were hung on both sides of the main campus road. Each lantern was marked with a number. Those who guessed the answer to the puzzle could go to the workbench to check and exchange for prizes.
[The fortune teller: Xibao, are you going to the lantern puzzle party tonight?] Xibai
wanted to go, but he had other plans tonight, so he had to decline Zhuangsuan's invitation.
But while typing, a hand touched the back of his head.
Xibai raised his head, smiled, pulled up his hand and squeezed it.
"It's still early, if you want to go, go ahead."
"Will you come with me?" Xibai asked.
Gu Chi touched his head again, "I have other things to do, you go ahead, I'll wait for you in the dormitory tonight."
"Is it the following things?" Xibai asked.
Gu Chi nodded.
Although he really wanted Gu Chi to go with him, since he had something to do, there was nothing he could do.
[White: Yes, let's meet in the cafeteria tonight, and go together after dinner? ]
[The Divine Calculator: Great! ]
When Zhuang Suanren arrived at the cafeteria, he only saw Xibai.
"There's a new pastry shop next to the school. The pork floss cakes are super delicious. I left two for you." He put the dessert in his hand on the table, looked around for a while but didn't see another figure. "Where's your husband? Did he go to get food?"
Xi Bai took it with red ears, unwrapped a cake and took a bite.
The soft cake was sandwiched with fine cream and salted pork floss. Xi Bai squinted unconsciously.
"Gu Chi didn't come, I'm the only one here."
"What!" Zhuang Suan was shocked, his eyes flickered a few times, "You bastard, you're still in the honeymoon period, why don't you accompany me now!"
"No!" Xi Bai swallowed the little bean in his mouth and explained, "He's busy with something."
"Oh!" Zhuang Suan nodded, then blinked meaningfully and asked, "Is it something down there?"
Xi Bai bit the little bean and nodded.
The two came back from lunch, Zhuang Suan moved closer and lowered his voice.
"Xibao, did Gu Chi tell you something about the underworld? Tell me about it!"
After all, he was from a family of heavenly masters, and had been exposed to all kinds of metaphysics and ghosts since he was a child. Unlike Xibai, who used to be afraid, Zhuang Suan had always been very curious about the things in the underworld.
But the previous sources of information were only records in ancient books, or some speculations and descriptions by the ancestors of the Zhuang family.
All written records were written by living people, and no one has ever really been to the underworld, so naturally there is no record that is 100% certain.
But now it is different.
What better source of first-hand information is there than the ghost king's boyfriend!
Zhuang Suan rubbed his hands, "Xibao, do you think I can record the real underworld and put it in the family tree?" Xibai
interrupted his fantasy, "Gu Chi told me some stories, but I'm not sure if I can tell you."
Gu Chi told him many details about the underworld, but whether these things can be known to humans is another matter.
"Why don't I ask him tonight."
Seeing Zhuang Suan's disappointment, Xibai added.
"What are your plans tonight? Do you want to guess the lantern riddle together!" Zhuang Suan became excited again.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns were lit. Under the warm light of the lanterns, the two of them cuddled together and guessed riddles, occasionally turning their heads to kiss quietly... Hehe, so sweet!
Xi Bai shook his head and swallowed the wonton in his mouth.
He lowered his voice, observed that no one was paying attention to them, and then he said, "Let's go downstairs to play."
"Downstairs?" Zhuang Suan blinked and suddenly became excited, "Yes, is it the downstairs I was thinking of!"
Xi Bai asked him to calm down, nodded and admitted, "Yes, it's the downstairs you were thinking of."
Although he asked Zhuang Suan to calm down, he was actually very excited.
"Then I can..." Zhuang Suan said halfway, then raised his hand and slapped himself, "It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, you two can enjoy your own world!"
In the underworld, there is a timid living person, and a ghost king who controls everything... Hehehe.
Why is Zhuang Suan laughing so obscenely.
Xi Bai touched his face, his expression was a little difficult to describe.
"It's okay, Xibao, there will be opportunities in the future!" Zhuang Suan saw Xi Bai's expression, and thought that the other party was embarrassed because of rejecting him, so he patted his chest and said, "I can do it alone."
Xi Bai pointed behind him speechlessly.
"It's okay, you don't have to be alone."
Zhuang Suan turned his head, was silent for a while, picked up the plate of food and wanted to run.
But before he took a step, a hand grabbed his shoulder first.
"Ha..." Zhuang Suan turned his head awkwardly and met Xu Xiao's gloomy face.
He showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "What a coincidence, you are here too."
Xu Xiao did not say anything, but Xi Bai had never seen him with such a gloomy expression.
His fingers clasped Zhuang Suan's shoulders so hard that even his nails turned white.
"It hurts!" Zhuang Suan cried out softly.
Xu Xiao's expression froze, and then he slowly let go of his hand.
Zhuang Suan immediately hid behind Xi Bai.
Xi Bai looked at his friend, and then at Xu Xiao, who could not find the lazy look of the past.
"Uh, we are going to the lantern puzzle party, do you want to come with us?" Xi Bai asked.
Xu Xiao did not answer, but slowly turned his eyes and looked at Zhuang Suan, who peeked out from Xi Bai's shoulder.
"You, just go if you want to." Zhuang Suan whispered.
Xu Xiao let out a long breath and nodded.
Although he didn't know what happened, it was nothing more than Zhuang Suan being a treacherous man again.
Xi Bai didn't want to intervene. After all, this was their relationship problem, and Zhuang Suan didn't ask for help. Although Xu Xiao looked a little scary, he obviously cared about Zhuang Suan.
Let them solve it themselves.
The two of them were pulling each other in the back, and Xi Bai walked alone in front.
He held his mobile phone and looked at the various word puzzles on both sides of the road. He wrote down the answers to the ones he roughly guessed.
After all, he was a top student in the Faculty of Arts, and many of the word puzzles he collected on the Internet were old-fashioned ones. Even if they were occasionally difficult to quote from classics, Xi Bai could easily remember the relevant allusions and guess the answer.
If Gu Chi was here, he would probably be able to solve the puzzles that he couldn't even guess.
It turns out that when you are in love, you will miss your boyfriend so much when you are apart... Xibai suddenly realized.
Guessing and missing him at the same time, Xibai recorded dozens of puzzles in a short while.
When he turned around, Xu Xiao was pointing at a puzzle and talking to Zhuang Suan. The latter was patiently explaining the story behind the puzzle, but Xu Xiao, who was obviously staring at his face, didn't listen at all.
Xibai gave up verbal interruption and sent a WeChat message to Zhuang Suan saying that he would go to the prize redemption stand first and they could take their time to look around.
Maybe it was because it was still early and Xibai was very efficient in solving puzzles.
When he arrived, there were only a few people around the prize redemption stand, and most of them came with one or two answers to redeem their points.
So when Xibai handed over his phone, the students acting as staff members exchanged glances in surprise.
But after recognizing Xibai, they calmed down again.
It was Xibai, so it was not surprising.
Xibai redeemed more than 40 points, and the staff handed him a list of prizes.
"Is there any prize you want, classmate? I looked at your points. You can redeem a Bluetooth headset and a bag of jelly, or a power bank and a notebook. They are all good." The staff suggested enthusiastically.
Xibai shook his head. He didn't need these things.
Gu Chi didn't have time to attend the lantern puzzle party, and what Xibai wanted was something that he could give to Gu Chi.
He browsed from top to bottom and found that there were actually quite a few prizes, and they were basically practical things that college students liked.
Things like Bluetooth headphones, power banks, eye masks, notebooks, signature pens, etc.
Of course, there were also some snacks and drinks that could be redeemed for very few points.
"Or I can take you to the prize warehouse to have a look?" the staff member said again.
It is naturally more efficient and clear to see the real thing directly than to see a list. Xibai nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."
The staff member took Xibai to the side of the prize warehouse and went back to his post.
Xibai stood in front of Yuan An and watched quietly, his eyes quickly swept over the various prizes from left to right.
Finally, he locked onto a girl who was sitting on the far right of the prize stand and was in charge of guarding the items.
The girl seemed to be a little bored, so she picked some grass leaves from somewhere and was weaving those fine and soft leaves.
On the table next to her, several woven grass leaf rings were already placed.
"Hello." Xibai walked up to her and greeted her, "Excuse me, can this ring be redeemed as a reward for the lantern puzzle?"
