Hanged Man
Glancing at the time, it was just past three in the morning. Liu Muzhe sighed and ran to Ye Jingan's room to sleep. When he climbed onto the bed, he found that he was covered in sweat. The sheets were soaked, just reflecting Ye Jingan's sleeping posture.
Liu Muze felt that his temper was much better now. If he had been tormented like this before, he would have picked him up and thrown him out. He sighed, returned to his room, pushed Ye Jingan aside, and fell asleep.
In the morning, Liu Muze felt like he was being pressed down by something and couldn't breathe. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Jingan's hands and legs on him.
"Ye Jing'an, take your hands and feet away!" Liu Muzhe saw that Ye Jing'an was sleeping like a dead pig and had no reaction at all, so he let out a sigh of relief and removed his hands and feet.
Ye Jingan groaned impatiently, then came up again and held him tightly in his arms.
"Ye Jing'an, let go!" Liu Muzhe couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Maybe he was tired and sleepy because of the torment he suffered yesterday. No matter how Liu Muze called out or moved, he didn't wake up and only held him tighter.
Liu Muzhe was too lazy to move, so he just stared at him, waiting to see what he would do if he woke up!
"Ye Jing'an?" Liu Muze began to wonder if he was pretending to be asleep. He reached out and tugged at his face, but he didn't respond. He pried open his eyelids again, but his eyes were lifeless. He really was asleep, and he was sleeping so soundly.
"When you were little, you refused to sleep when I told you to, and you ran to the forbidden area to bother me. When you grew up, you were willing to sleep, but you still bothered me..." Liu Muzhe stared at him for a long time and laughed, "Ye Chenyi has never let anyone touch my hand. If he knew that you, a little brat, were holding me like this, he would definitely hang you up and beat you."
When he mentioned Ye Chenyi, a subtle emotion suddenly welled up in his heart. He didn't know why, but ever since he became a terrestrial immortal, everyone around him was a little afraid of him. Not so afraid that they would hide when they saw him, but they certainly didn't dare to flirt with him. Most of them were like Qiu Zimu, with Ye Jingan being the only exception. It was okay for them to hug his shoulders all day long, but they even dared to hug him?
"You don't seem afraid of me, and your personality and temper are very similar to his. Is it possible that you've returned, but we just can't recognize each other?" Liu Muze reached out and gently pinched Ye Jing'an's face. He felt bitter in his heart, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "How can I come back if I'm dead and gone?"
…
Ye Jingan's eyelashes moved slightly.
"Hmm?" He sniffed and found that Brother Liu's quilt smelled better the more he slept on it, but it was not very soft when he hugged it.
He patted the "quilt" a few times with his hands.
Why is this quilt still a bit hard and uncomfortable? Never mind, it's quite comfortable to hold it in your arms. I'll hold it and sleep for a while.
Ye Jing'an was completely dazed, his eyes were not even open, and he rubbed his head against Liu Muzhe and continued to sleep.
Seeing his action, Liu Muze suppressed his anger and called him, "Ye Jing'an."
"Hmm?" Brother Liu's voice seemed to be right beside his ear. He slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. "Oh my god!"
Ye Jingan was so scared that he fell back and fell off the bed.
"Have you hugged enough?" Liu Muzhe snorted coldly.
Seeing him looking like he wanted to kill someone, Ye Jingan swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Liu...Brother Liu, why are you here?"
"This is my bed." Liu Muzhe's tone was still calm.
"Ah... yes, it's yours." Although Ye Jing'an was cold as he sat on the ground, he remained stiff and didn't stand up.
He was completely blown away. Holding this huge Buddha in his arms like this, and holding it so tightly! When did Brother Liu wake up? Did he talk in his sleep, or did he do something else unconsciously?
Liu Muze got up from the bed, lifted Ye Jingan up, and said with a sly smile: "Come on, try hugging me again?!"
"Brother Liu, I... I fell asleep. I really didn't mean to do that. Don't look at me like that..." Ye Jing'an's face was flushed now. If Brother Liu continued to pull him like this, he would really want to hug him again and try again.
Liu Muze snorted coldly and walked out of the room. It's your own child, so just hold him. What else can you do? You can't really beat him to death. If you have to beat him, Ye Chenyi should do it himself.
"Brother Liu, you got up so late today?" Qiu Zimu just finished breakfast and went upstairs.
"Good morning." Liu Muzhe was still thinking about Ye Jingan.
"???" It was obvious that Ye Jing'an had caused this again. Qiu Zimu went to look for him. When he reached the door of Brother Liu's room, he found him sitting on Brother Liu's bed. "Ye Jing'an? Why are you here?"
"Ah?" Ye Jing'an was still in a daze.
"How did you offend Brother Liu again?" Qiu Zimu often admired Ye Jing'an. Even though Brother Liu looked serious, it was actually difficult to make him angry, but Ye Jing'an was awesome and would make him angry every now and then.
"Um... I, well, hold him while I sleep." Although Ye Jing'an's face was pale, there was a smile in his voice.
"Damn, you're so awesome. You're not dead yet?" Qiu Zimu now understood what Brother Liu's expression meant. It was really not easy to tolerate Ye Jing'an.
"I fell asleep and was unconscious, it wasn't intentional. Besides, how could Brother Liu bear to beat me to death?" Ye Jing'an felt uneasy when he said this. He scratched his eyebrows and forced a smile.
Qiu Zimu was so impressed that he gave a thumbs up and turned to walk into the room.
Ye Jingan went downstairs for breakfast and saw Liu Muze eating. He took a bowl of noodles and walked over with an innocent smile on his face: "Brother Liu, good morning!"
"You dare to sit opposite me? Aren't you afraid of me?" Liu Muzhe put down his chopsticks and stared at him coldly.
"Why should I be afraid of you? You are not a little girl. What's wrong with a man hugging you? Don't make a fuss!" Ye Jing'an was embarrassed for a moment. Now he is not blushing or nervous. He speaks confidently and his tone really sounds like Liu Muzhe is being pretentious.
"..." Liu Muzhe was choked and had nothing to refute. He thought to himself that this kid was really different. It had only been a short time, but he acted like nothing had happened.
"Brother Liu, there is really something wrong with that room." Ye Jing'an didn't want to talk about what happened just now. He changed the subject and told Liu Muzhe about what he encountered yesterday.
"I went to check and found nothing. I'll try sleeping in that room today." Liu Muzhe didn't care.
Ye Jingan was so happy at the thought that he could sleep in Brother Liu's bed again that he didn't even notice that Brother Liu was staring at him.
"What are you secretly happy about? Are you trying to make trouble for me?" Liu Muzhe asked.
"Why would I mess with you on purpose?" Ye Jing'an pursed his lips and tried to suppress his laughter.
Liu Muze didn't want to say anything more to this bad boy, so he went back to his room and checked again. At night, he washed up and went to bed. He didn't fall asleep, but paid attention to this room. He even set an alarm to check it out, but he didn't see anything wrong until dawn. Liu Muze went back to his room, pulled Ye Jingan out of the quilt, and threw him out.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, you..." Ye Jing'an was locked outside the door, "What did I do? Why did you throw me out when I was sleeping so soundly?"
Ye Jingan sat on the ground in a daze for a long time. He knocked on Liu Muze's door but no one opened it. It was not until noon that he saw him come out to eat. Seeing that his eyes were smoking, Ye Jingan shouted, "Liu, why did you throw me out this morning?"
"Don't you know what's going on?" Liu Muzhe asked him calmly.
Ye Jingan: What number should I have?
He grabbed Liu Muzhe and demanded that he explain himself clearly.
"I didn't encounter anything when I slept in that room, so don't bother me!" Liu Muzhe warned.
He's another bully who only tries to scare weaklings like him and Qiu Zimu. When he meets someone as powerful as Brother Liu, he doesn't even dare to fart!
Ye Jing'an was so angry that he grabbed his hair and ran to the monitoring room to check his video of that night. He really didn't see anyone knocking on the door all night. He decided to ask Qiu Zimu to sleep in the room with him tonight to prove his innocence to Liu Muze.
"I won't go. I don't want to be hugged by you!" Qiu Zimu was unwilling to go no matter what.
"Who wants to hug you? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror!" Ye Jing'an had no choice but to think of recording a video for Brother Liu to listen to.
At night, he turned on his phone to record, but worried it might run out of battery mid-recording, he plugged it in and placed his sword next to his pillow. With everything ready, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
"Oh, I still can't sleep." Ye Jing'an opened his mobile phone and played for a while before he gradually felt sleepy.
In the early morning, a familiar knock on the door came. This time, Ye Jingan was able to move, got out of bed and opened the door, but still nothing. Ye Jingan suddenly understood Qiu Zimu's mood at the time, and annoyedly covered himself with the quilt and continued to sleep.
“Tick…tick…”
The sound of dripping water, why is there a sound of dripping water here? Ye Jingan felt that this ethereal sound of dripping water was quite pleasant in his dream.
One drop, two drops...
He fell asleep again, and after a while, he felt a slight draft near the window. He squinted and looked. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but this look really woke him up, and it frightened him to the core. A pair of pale feet, bleeding, dangled in the air. He looked up, and those eyes were fixed on him.
Ye Jingan called out "Brother Liu", but no sound came out of his mouth, and his body was unable to move as before. He broke out in a cold sweat and prayed that Brother Liu would come quickly.
The hanged man moved, turned in another direction, and faced his feet towards the window.
“Boom…boom…boom.”
Ye Jingan screamed in his heart, "Fuck!" It turned out that was the sound of him kicking the window. After a while, he stopped kicking and turned his head to grin at Ye Jingan.
Ye Jingan swallowed, and sweat flowed from his forehead to behind his ears.
After a sinister laugh, the rope hanging on the ghost's neck broke, and he leaned over and rushed towards Ye Jingan. Ye Jingan suddenly woke up and jumped up. The sky was pitch black just now, but now it was bright.
"I've caught you, you damn devil, and you're still trying to scare me. Wait for my brother Liu to come and deal with you!" Ye Jing'an muttered, and ran to Liu Muzhe's room with his cell phone.
"Brother Liu, I saw him. He was a hanged ghost. The knocking sound on the window was made by him kicking it!" Ye Jing'an grabbed Liu Muze's sleeve and said excitedly, "I recorded it, listen to it."
The two of them listened to the recording at full volume, but only heard one sentence: "Hey, Brother Liu's quilt smells so good, um! Hehe..."
Liu Muze: "..."
"No, Brother Liu, I really heard it."
"Yeah, I heard that too."
“…”
