☆、Chapter 129 Ending
This is the haunted house's sixth year, and the crowds remain as high as ever. While it hasn't expanded, the daily capacity remains fixed, and reservations must be made a week in advance. However, the haunted house's ever-changing scenery and authentic sense of fear continue to attract wave after wave of thrill-seekers.
Even though the boss had changed, in the eyes of those old customers, it was just that the former pretty boss Yu Jiuyin had been replaced by his equally pretty brother Yu Qi.
Later, many people even created a special feature about the haunted house online, specifically posting photos of the boss. The clean-cut, handsome young man, sitting by the door reading, was a delight to the eye. Many people praised his stunning beauty.
At times like this, regular patrons of the haunted house would dig out old photos of Yu Jiuyin and educate them. They'd say that all handsome guys are from the same family; Yu Qi was good-looking enough, but his brother, Yu Jiuyin, was even better. It was a shame he hadn't been here in recent years, apparently because he was ill and recuperating in his hometown.
As for the fact that the eldest brother and the second and third brothers had been supernatural anchors together, gradually no one knew about it.
But today the boss was in a very good mood and started cleaning up early in the morning.
"Young boss, you have guests today." Several old customers who were queuing up were very curious when they saw the boss busying around with great enthusiasm.
"Well, my brother's coming back." The eldest brother couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking. Yu Jiuyin had called yesterday, saying he'd come back to visit. So the eldest brother had been busy since last night.
Yu Jiuyin had been holed up in the mountains for so long, and aside from the time Rong Zhuo got into trouble, he'd rarely even left the house. Initially, it was a lingering feeling, but later, it was simply laziness. Anyway, with technology so advanced these days, a video call could perfectly resolve any situation, whether they were miles apart or just across a door.
What's more, after the last visit, the third brother had created a group to gather everyone together. Yu Jiuyin was quiet at first, but he remained online every day for the next two years. He even teamed up with them to play games when he was in a good mood. If they played too late, Rongqing would force them to log off and go to bed.
Even so, the eldest brother still felt that Yu Jiuyin was not doing this. Yu Jiuyin was so young, how could he live like an old man? So the eldest brother kept urging Yu Jiuyin to go down the mountain and play.
This time, Yu Jiuyin finally gave in, and the boss said nothing would give him a chance to regret.
Sure enough, he wasn't the only one thinking this. A few moments later, a car pulled up to the haunted house entrance, and several people got out, all familiar faces to regular customers. It was none other than the second, third, and Xu Wang.
"Did Boss Yu say what time we'd arrive?"
"I think he'll be here in the morning."
"It's already morning, Brother Yu must have gotten up late again." The second brother was very disgusted.
"No." This time it was Xu Wang who retorted, "Don't forget, Rong Ge gets up at six in the morning on time."
"Right, right, right. So why is Rong Ge, a fierce ghost, so self-disciplined?"
"No, no, no, when Brother Rong was a human, he was also self-disciplined. I really want to know, won't Brother Yu beat him up?"
After a few words, the atmosphere became warm again. Compared with the days when they spent every day together five years ago, there was no change at all.
In reality, life had returned to normal after returning from the mountains. The five children of Gu Zhou had all returned to their respective families. They had benefited greatly from following Yu Jiuyin for over six months, and it was time to return and settle down. By the time they returned, they would be the true pillars of the young celestial masters in the metaphysical world.
Zhang Yao, Ming Yu, and Yi Tian, members of the special case team, also became more independent. Even without Rong Qing, they were able to successfully solve many minor cases, becoming the most renowned elites in the police circle.
As for the remaining students, Xu Wang was the first to graduate. Upon graduation, he inherited the family business. The second and third brothers, after graduation, started their own businesses together and have achieved some success in the past two years. Of course, the help of the older brothers, Rong Qing and Xu Wang, has also helped to make their careers more successful.
As for the eldest brother, he enrolled in graduate school after graduation and planned to pursue a doctorate, hoping to eventually become a teacher at the school. As for his spare time, besides regularly returning to the mountain Taoist temple to accompany Yu Jiuyin during the winter and summer vacations, he spent the rest of his time tending to the haunted house and museum left behind by Yu Jiuyin. He was actually busier than Xu Wang and the others.
Although they all have their own careers, they still have feelings for each other and from time to time, they will return to the haunted house to get together. In recent years, they have even organized groups to go to the mountains to see Yu Jiuyin during the New Year and other holidays.
Of course, every time they went, they couldn't avoid being disdained by Yu Jiuyin. But no matter how much they talked, the Taoist temple had a room reserved for them. Two years ago, Gu Zhou had some problems with his mystical arts and reportedly went to live with Yu Jiuyin in the mountains for half a year.
But the kicker was, instead of teaching him properly, Yu Jiuyin actually took Gu Zhou to play games. He said it was to relax him. But in the end, all that relaxation led to Gu Zhou's gaming skills improving, and he won the Supreme Champion title for two consecutive seasons. As for the bottleneck that had previously held him back, it hadn't eased at all.
In the end, he could only reluctantly bid farewell to Yu Jiuyin, ending his blissful days in the mountains. He returned to his family to continue his research. However, this time, he actually figured it out.
So when Yu Jiuyin went down the mountain this time, Gu Zhou and the others couldn't leave at this critical moment. Only the boss and his group were left.
As for Zhang Yao and the others, we agreed last night to come over the day after tomorrow. We have a case on hand now.
The haunted house had changed considerably since Yu Jiuyin's time. The boss had taken over Yu Jiuyin's Tianshi A account. As usual, just like Yu Jiuyin before him, he would complete any quests he encountered, and then he would convert any evil spirits he found, and if he couldn't, he would send them to work in the haunted house.
During this period, the haunted house mission that Yu Jiuyin had previously received finally reached 100%.
On the day the mission was completed, the boss became a big hit on the Tianshi Forum. As Yu Jiuyin's younger brother and Yu Chenbi's junior, the boss also became a very famous ghost Taoist Tianshi in the metaphysical circle.
There is only one thing that everyone doesn’t know, that is, the most beautiful woman in the metaphysics circle, Yu Chenbi, is actually Yu Jiuyin.
Every time someone asked the boss if the most beautiful woman was particularly pretty, the boss couldn't help but laugh for a long time. Of course, this matter couldn't be known by Yu Jiuyin, otherwise he would definitely be furious.
Thinking of this, the eldest brother's mood became even better. He asked the second, third and Xu Wang to help clean up.
The second brother and the others felt mixed emotions when they looked at the haunted house.
Unlike the dilapidated house that was once known as one of the top ten haunted houses in City B, under the maintenance of the boss, the haunted house has now become a base for everyone.
They hadn't changed a thing in the rooms they'd renovated when Yu Jiuyin was there. The eldest brother cleaned them with Ruan Qin every day. Yu Jiuyin's room was especially impressive; not even the position of a single picture frame had changed; everything was exactly the same as when Yu Jiuyin was there.
In fact, everyone is waiting for Yu Jiuyin to come back.
Of course, there was an incident during these years, which was Rong Zhuo's death. The boss went abroad for two months because of this and only returned after the matter was resolved.
But when he came back, he was holding Rong Zhuo's ashes.
Fortunately, although Rong Zhuo died tragically, it was precisely because of this tragedy that his resentment reached its peak, even stronger than Ruan Qin.
If the boss hadn't made a lot of progress in the past two years, it would have been difficult to sign a contract with him.
But no matter what, the person has returned. Even if the human and the ghost have different paths, they can still meet in other ways.
Standing in the haunted house, Rong Zhuo knew that no one could see him except the boss and the people in the haunted house. But he had already gone through the most difficult time. Now he just felt that being able to live with the boss Rong Qing and Yu Jiuyin was perfect.
The boss came in after moving the chair, and Rong Zhuo helped him wipe the sweat off his head.
"You better take a break. If you get tired, Yu Xiaojiu will beat me up later."
"Don't talk nonsense. When has my brother ever beaten anyone?" The eldest brother felt that every time Rong Zhuo got beaten, it was his own fault and he didn't deserve sympathy.
Rong Zhuo suddenly felt hopeless, thinking that his boss's brother-obsessed filter was no longer acceptable. Several years had passed, and instead of getting better, it had become even more intense.
Xu Wang couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, "Rong Zhuo, how are your plans going recently?"
"It was quite interesting at first, but Yu Xiaojiu was about to come back, and Xiao Yuqi didn't bother to take care of me anymore." Rong Zhuo also felt bitter.
The second one gloated and said, "Serves you right."
Rong Zhuo immediately retorted, "I sleep with Xiao Yuqi every day now."
The second brother was silent for a while, then immediately got angry and insisted on beating Rong Zhuo.
Rong Zhuo ran away quickly, "You have to be reasonable. Xiao Yuqi is already so old, he can fall in love freely."
"A pig's hoof like you is not reliable at all. Don't run away, I will beat you to death."
Ruan Qin, who had been sleeping in the room, was also woken up by the noise. Following her was a little kid who was peeking out of his head. It was picked up by the eldest child a few days ago.
Because he had only been here a short time, he hadn't met the second brother yet, so he was a little shy. But he was very familiar with Rong Zhuo. When the eldest brother picked him up, he had been beaten by Rong Zhuo, so now seeing Rong Zhuo being chased and beaten, he couldn't help but clap his hands. By the way, he also tried to trip him up a bit.
The entire lounge was abuzz with activity, and the eldest brother felt as if he were back in college. Back then, too, the little kid would ride his little chuckle from place to place, with Lingdang chasing him with a smile. Lingdang and Qiuqiu would quickly protect their two younger siblings, fearing they would fall.
And there's Yu Jiuyin, who always walks in at the height of chaos and instantly makes the situation under control. Actually, it's been two months since we last saw each other, and I wonder if he's feeling any better lately. Has he still been coughing since autumn?
However, just as the boss was thinking about this, the door outside suddenly opened, and then the whole room became quiet.
The eldest brother didn't react at first. When he looked up again, Yu Jiuyin was standing at the door and said to him with a smile, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you for two months. Don't you recognize me?"
The boss "Brother" instantly became excited.
As for Lao Er and Xu Wang, their eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Brother Yu"
Yu Jiuyin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm back." Behind him, Rongqing parked the car and followed him out. After five years in the mountains, Rongqing's leg had long since healed. Even his face still looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old. If it weren't for his calm demeanor, some people might have mistaken him for Yu Jiuyin's younger brother.
As for Yu Jiuyin, apart from looking a little more beautiful than before, there was no other change.
"Oh my God, Brother Yu, you've had a beauty treatment in the mountains, haven't you?" The second brother leaned closer to take a look, but was slapped on the back of his head by Yu Jiuyin.
"Why don't you and the third brother take a leave next year and live with me for a year, and I will help you with your beauty treatment." Yu Jiuyin said as she glanced at him from head to toe, and when her eyes fell on a certain part, they were particularly dangerous.
The second brother suddenly felt a chill in his balls and quickly laughed foolishly.
The third brother and Xu Wang exchanged a glance and laughed as well. Then the third brother felt someone tug at his trouser legs. He looked down and saw a small face filled with a smirk. It was none other than the ghost doll he hadn't seen in years.
Xu Wang was also knocked down by a large furry ball. A series of chirps rang in his ears.
The second brother suddenly felt unbalanced. They were in the same relationship, but it was too unfair that only the two of them were welcome to meet. After all, they were all little princesses.
However, before he could even start making a scene, he was met with disdainful stares from both the Lingdang siblings, which instantly made him even more upset. In the end, Bai Zhiqiu gently touched his forehead to offer comfort.
The second brother immediately hugged Bai Zhiqiu, "Qiuqiu, you are still the best. Wuuuuuuu."
Bai Zhiqiu was silent for a while before saying, "I just feel sorry for you."
The second brother can't live like this
This kind of noise did not gradually die down until the evening.
In the room, Yu Jiuyin lay on the bed, waiting for Rongqing to come out of the shower. Looking at the room that hadn't changed at all, he suddenly had the illusion that he couldn't distinguish time and space.
It's as if I had never left.
When Rong Qing came out of the bathroom, she saw Yu Jiuyin holding the book in a daze. She looked at the footer and saw the page that Yu Jiuyin had read when he left the haunted house six years ago.
"You haven't finished reading the rest of this book in such a long time, have you?"
"Yeah, if you leave it here, you will forget about it." Yu Jiuyin couldn't help laughing and closed the book.
Rongqing shook her head, not knowing what to say to him. She simply climbed onto the bed and held him in her arms.
Yu Jiuyin leaned against him and suddenly said after a long while, "Rongrong, I'm actually doing fine now."
"Yeah." Rong Qing nodded, then kissed Yu Jiuyin.
Just when he was about to deepen the kiss, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu"
It was the second brother Rongqing who hurriedly separated from Yu Jiuyin. Then the second brother rushed in, holding a pillow. A large group of people followed behind him.
The eldest brother blinked at Yu Jiuyin a bit embarrassedly, but Rong Zhuo behind him looked gloating. As for the third brother and Xu Wang, they were holding beer, snacks, and other snacks, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
"Hey, Brother Yu, the night is long, let's play something. I heard there's a game called Night Talk of One Hundred Ghosts on the Internet recently. That is, everyone tells a ghost story and blows out the candles after finishing. When the last person blows out the candle, the real evil spirit will come."
The second brother's words were mysterious, but Yu Jiuyin found them quite amusing and simply threw off the covers and got out of bed. The eldest brother saw that he was just in his pajamas, so he quickly opened the closet and found a coat and handed it to him.
Yu Jiuyin put it on and moved closer to the second brother, agreeing to his proposal. "Sure, how about one more?"
"What"
"The worst storyteller will spend the night with the evil spirit he summoned."
The second one is ok, but how can we be sure who speaks the worst?
Yu Jiuyin was right and confident, so of course he voted by raising his hands.
The second brother's face suddenly became ugly. "Brother Yu, no, don't vote. Doesn't raising your hands mean that I am the loser?"
However, Yu Jiuyin ignored his wailing, but enthusiastically called the boss and others to come over and get ready to start.
Rong Qing stood by and watched, helping Yu Jiuyin prepare. Rong Zhuo came over and suddenly asked him, "Rong Qing, are you happy now?"
Rong Qing nodded without hesitation, "Very happy. Not only me, but Jiuyin too."
Rong Zhuo was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said to Rong Qing, "Me too, Xiao Yuqi too. And everyone else too."
Yu Jiuyin had sharp ears and happened to hear their conversation. He suddenly looked up at them, raised the corners of his lips, and revealed an exceptionally gentle smile.
This is perhaps how life is. Perhaps every day we live is a day of loss. But no matter how much we lose, there are always some unbreakable bonds that make us yearn to be human. And this feeling is called love.
Therefore, in Yu Jiuyin's opinion, he was lucky to meet Rongqing. And he was even more lucky to meet Yu Qi and his group of friends.
Life on earth is worth it.
