Chapter 107: They Can't Meet
After Jiang Jiu woke up from her dream, she sat on the bed for a long time. She rubbed her swollen and painful temples, completely confused about what the dream meant.
She was always watching the recent events through a layer of fog, unable to hide or escape, and unable to see clearly.
It was not until there was a knock on the bedroom door that Jiang Jiu woke up from his dream and got out of bed.
"Did you sleep very late last night? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
Yu Zimo was standing at the door, all the ghostly aura in his body was completely restrained. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary human being. Only Jiang Jiu knew that this guy was actually a ghost.
He touched Jiang Jiu's cheek, as if he wanted to test the temperature. Jiang Jiu's body stiffened and he subconsciously avoided it.
Yu Zimo's fingertips lingered in mid-air, and there was an awkward atmosphere in the air. For a moment, even Jiang Jiu felt a little embarrassed, and quickly turned his face away, trying to cover up what had just happened.
"You're back today too."
She said.
Because Yu Zimo hasn't appeared in the past few days.
"Well, of course, I won't leave you for long."
Yu Zimo withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved. There was a tender atmosphere in his words, just like the sweet words whispered between lovers, which made people blush.
“…That’s not necessary.”
Jiang Jiu was like a bad guy who ruined the atmosphere, spitting out four words in a dry voice.
Finally, when she saw Yu Zimo make way, she walked out of the bedroom. She didn't have to go to class today, so she could have a good rest. She had originally planned to go out for a walk today, but she didn't know if it was because of the dream, she felt very tired and didn't want to move at all.
Suddenly, a picture flashed before Jiang Jiu's eyes. She was sinking into the water, closing her eyes without any struggle, and going down.
“!”
Jiang Jiu was frightened by this somewhat horrifying, almost suicidal scene and stood up from the sofa.
It felt as if her nasal cavity was filled with water, bitter mixed with an indescribable saltiness, and there was an extreme despair, just wanting to wait for death, without a trace of desire to live. That picture flooded into her emotions, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Perhaps her movements were too big, Yu Zimo had already reached her side without her knowing, looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Jiu was still immersed in that fear, with empty eyes. Only after hearing these words did he come to his senses and look at Yu Zimo's exquisite and handsome face.
As a ghost, Yu Zimo was indeed too handsome, and even to some extent he could dispel her discomfort.
"without....."
Jiang Jiu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but hesitated when the words came to her lips. The feeling just now was too real, as if she had experienced it before, but she had never thought of committing suicide, so...could it be that some ghost was at work? If it was Yu Zimo, maybe it could be solved.
As she thought about this, her words changed direction.
"I just...seemed like I saw myself committing suicide."
As soon as she finished speaking, the smile in Yu Zimo's eyes suddenly faded. He narrowed his eyes, but soon returned to normal. However, Jiang Jiu still keenly noticed his emotional change.
"It's okay, it's probably just an illusion."
Yu Zimo said so, but based on his unusual attitude just now, Jiang Jiu felt it was not credible.
"Really... is it okay?"
Jiang Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked again.
She felt that Yu Zimo might be hiding something from her.
"Yeah, trust me."
Yu Zimo's bloodshot pupils were reflected in Jiang Jiu's eyes. In just a trance, Jiang Jiu felt as if she had forgotten something. She frowned and shook her head.
"Don't you want to go out and play today?"
The man asked her.
Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly. She really wanted to go out, but... was there something important that she had forgotten just now?
People are like this. Sometimes they want to do something, but suddenly their brain short-circuits and they forget everything. Jiang Jiu can only attribute this to the fact that he has been studying too hard recently, which has taken up too much brain memory space, so he forgot what he was about to do.
But it doesn’t matter, I’ll remember it after a while anyway.
While Jiang Jiu was thinking this, Yu Zimo had already taken her hand and was ready to take her out.
She was not prepared and was taken away by the man.
Yu Zimo was walking in front, so Jiang Jiu naturally didn't notice the change in Yu Zimo's expression. His expression at this moment was definitely not normal. His eyes were so dark as if blood was about to drip out, and his face was also gloomy.
Because he knew that this was a real memory that had happened to Jiang Jiu.
When she was forced into a desperate situation, she really chose to commit suicide.
But this time, a kind-hearted person still saved her, but he only saved her life and did not change the suffering she would suffer next. Not long after she drowned, her unlucky father came to her door, and that time... was today.
Yu Zimo thought it would come later, but he didn't expect it to be today.
In order to prevent Jiang Jiu from suffering further harm, it would be better to take her away.
Although theoretically he would not let the man named Jiang Hai hurt Jiang Jiu in any way, the mental trauma could not be healed. As long as she saw that man, she might be sad. There was no need for this possibility to exist.
But...I didn't expect that even for the current Jiang Jiu, something that hasn't happened yet would still be perceived by her in a special way. This is really a terrible thing, and she has to forget it.
I don’t want her to feel the pain of nearly drowning a second time.
At that time, after Jiang Jiu was taken away by Yu Zimo, two figures appeared in the house she rented. The fox's big tail was shaking in the air, and the devil's red clothes were like fire.
"It's obvious that it would be most appropriate to leave him here and let him scare people, so why is it his turn to be alone with Jiang Jiu today?"
Xiao Nianzhong said indignantly.
"Stop whining, that guy is coming."
Chi Li was very receptive. The agreement he had made with the world consciousness was that everyone would bring Jiang Jiu back together, and no one could be left out. So there was no point in being jealous now. It would be better to wait until Jiang Jiu's soul was really brought back before considering these issues.
But last night... he never expected that the tree spirit of the Origin Sacred Tree would actually try to interfere.
When Chi Li thought of what 'she' said to Jiang Jiu, his eyes darkened.
"Humph, he dares to bully Jiang Jiu. I'll teach him a lesson today."
When Xiao Nianzhong thought of the bad things Jiang Hai had done to Jiang Jiu, his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He could not imagine how Jiang Jiu survived in such an environment and even got his only son into university, but the price he paid was just autism and social anxiety. If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago.
