Chapter 127 After the College Entrance Examination
Jiang Jiu didn't know how obvious his expression was at the moment, and it easily revealed his thoughts.
Yu Zimo looked at the hidden fear of his lover in front of him, and felt helpless.
There is no way to solve this situation now. If Jiang Jiu cannot have the strength equal to theirs now, Xiao Jiuer will not be able to ease his fear of them.
But unfortunately, this world cannot cultivate, and besides...
Jiang Jiu is now a shadow in the long river of time. Even if they take him away and bring him back, they can no longer let Jiang Jiu practice and he can only remain a mortal.
A dim light flashed in Yu Zimo's eyes. Although Xiao Jiuer had been afraid of him before, she was not as afraid as she was now, treating him as a stranger.
"Um...are you sad?"
The air was eerily quiet. Yu Zimo didn't know what to say to solve the problem, but Jiang Jiu spoke first, breaking the silence.
As soon as Yu Zimo looked up, he met Jiang Jiu's worried eyes, as if all the fear just now was an illusion, and the real Xiao Jiu still cared about him.
"Yeah, I'm sad."
He didn't want to lie to Xiaojiuer and didn't want to lose her a second time.
Yu Zimo saw Jiang Jiu showing an embarrassed look, then he moved closer to him and gently poked his arm with his hand.
It was icy cold, had no elasticity, and felt a bit scary.
Jiang Jiu thought.
However, the man in front of her was not aggressive towards her at all. He exuded gentleness. Don't be afraid of him.
She wasn't so clueless as to doubt the person who was protecting her, but she still didn't like the way Yu Zimo and the others acted and their code of conduct.
Maybe this is the difference between the two worlds, she still has to abide by the law.
"I'm not stupid. I know what you want to tell me. I will try my best to overcome my mentality. But please don't kill people indiscriminately in the future, okay?"
Jiang Jiu raised his head, his eyes sparkling with expectation, which made Yu Zimo stunned.
The Lord Ghost King, who once cursed an entire dynasty and made the entire ghost world bow down to him, was actually captured by Jiang Jiu's warm smile without any sign of struggle.
"Um."
He heard his own voice answer, almost without hesitation.
Only ginger wine can make the Ghost King ensure that he kills fewer people.
"Okay, now that we've made an agreement, let's not dwell on it anymore. I know you were joking with me just now, but... you really were in pain back then, right?"
Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look sad.
To be honest, when she first heard about Yu Zimo's tragic past, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She felt as if she saw a young boy whose family was broken up, displaced, blind, and bullied by a group of beggars.
He finally died in a cold mass grave. No one saved him and they could only wait for time to slowly melt, rot and disappear his body.
In the end, his resentment condensed him into a ghost. After suffering countless hardships, he finally became the current Ghost King.
Others only saw his glory and strength, but no one had ever walked the path he had taken.
“....”
Yu Zimo wanted to continue playing the victim, but looking at Xiaojiuer's expression, it seemed that he couldn't say anything.
In the end, the words came to my lips and turned into comfort.
"It's all in the past. What I care about most now is you."
His confession was too serious and sudden. Jiang Jiu was stunned at first, and then her cheeks turned red in an instant.
"No, no, no, don't talk about this first. I told you, I won't fall in love before I get into college!"
Her tone was hurried, but she denied the idea of falling in love right now.
I don’t know when it started, but she seemed to no longer care about the substitute. She always felt that those vague memories seemed to belong to her own past.
Jiang Jiu didn't know that he was being assimilated by the memory and was slowly losing his present self.
Or maybe her memory was coming back and she found herself again.
But now she doesn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.
"Yeah, okay."
Yu Zimo looked at Jiang Jiu's serious eyes and slowly nodded in response.
He can let Xiaojiuer take the exam quietly now, but after the college entrance examination is over... he can't just ignore what Xiaojiuer says.
Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Zimo nod.
But for some reason, I suddenly felt a chill on my back, as if I was being stared at by some ghost.
But Yu Zimo had a gentle expression on his face, so she could only give up thinking in surprise.
...
I don’t know if it’s because men can communicate with each other, but after Jiang Jiu said that he wouldn’t fall in love for the time being, they never did anything that crossed the line again.
It also allowed Jiang Jiu to study peacefully for a long time.
With the care of Teacher Ji at school, I feel that my life is much more stable, both at school and at home.
Sometimes Jiang Jiu would have the illusion that she was like an empress in the palace.
No matter where she goes, there is always someone to take care of her, and at home she doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. She doesn't even know when her life started to get better.
When Jiang Jiu came to her senses, she found that she didn't seem to have any financial pressure at all.
If she thought about it carefully, it seemed that everything she ate, used and wore during this period was prepared for her by Yun Shuili, Xiao Nianzhong and others. She didn't have to worry about anything, and the money in her account had not been touched at all.
Finally, one hundred days before the college entrance examination, Jiang Jiu returned home at night and did not go back to his room to do his homework immediately, but sat in the living room waiting for someone to come back.
Speaking of which, Fo Jiang and Long Xuan had come here many times during this period, but they just stayed with her and then left.
None of those weird relatives showed up, nor did the debt collectors, nor did the unlucky father.
Her world seemed to be cleared and she could focus on studying.
Is this correct?
This is obviously wrong!
Jiang Jiu sat on the sofa and thought, feeling that something had changed unconsciously, and they seemed to have formed a kind of tacit understanding.
While she was thinking, she waited for Xiao Nianzhong to come home.
Xiao Nian was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Jiu sitting on the sofa instead of studying, but then a smile appeared on his face.
"What's wrong?"
He thought Jiang Jiu had something for him to do.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu walked up to him with a serious face and pressed him on the sofa opposite.
"From now on, I ask questions and you answer them."
Her serious and solemn tone made Xiao Nianzhong's heart nervous. He couldn't help but wonder if he had done anything wrong recently to make Jiang Jiu so serious.
But he has been very honest during this period. Apart from solving those messy troubles, he has not done anything harmful to the world.
After all, he had made an agreement with Jiang Jiu not to misuse his abilities, so he was quite obedient.
