The sigh lasted only a moment, and the instinct of the past eight years made him subconsciously open the refrigerator again, carefully observing the cuts on the body parts, preparing to look for the murder weapon.
Xu Shiqing's eyes were sharp. He thought seriously for a while, and suddenly realized that this was a dream...
“…” His eyes were dead for a moment, and his second-class merit was gone.
Xu Shiqing put his things back in a bad mood. Having gained nothing, he prepared to return along the same route. It was not impossible to go directly through the main gate, but he had to forget that his mother Xu was waiting for him at home.
There was still no movement in the room. Xu Shiqing was about to walk in when he felt a cool air blowing towards him.
"Xiao Xu?"
Xie Jingyi didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Xu Shiqing didn't say anything, and "accidentally" swung the fruit knife in his hand over, and a layer of black mist bounced away with a flick.
"Don't be so nervous~" Xie Jingyi squinted his eyes, and a black mist suddenly enveloped him. "How about we talk?"
Xu Shiqing would not negotiate with the enemy without having absolute advantage, so he did not hesitate. The frost, with his toes as the center, quickly formed a confrontation with the black fog.
The building was faintly shaking, and the dream was no longer stable.
"...Alright." Xie Jingyi raised his hands. The black mist retreated calmly, and the gap left was filled by ice and snow without hesitation. "You are no different from the one in my memory."
He is as unreasonable as ever towards his enemies and handles things in a very simple and rough manner.
God knows how helpless he felt when he saw the other person leave the room in the surveillance video, then come back with a fruit knife and walk towards the window.
He also wanted to have some fun with the other person for a while.
"What do you want to say?" Xu Shiqing frowned when he heard this: "You have...memories?"
He didn't believe what Xie Jingyi was saying. "Impossible! If you have memories, then were you playing a trick on me in those dreams?"
Xie Jingyi wasn't a bad person. If he truly had memories, Xu Shiqing wouldn't have been suffering from nothing but insomnia and occasional frights. Did he really think the ghost cultivators demanding his life in his dreams were just a joke?
"...You are very cute." Xie Jingyi said with a smile.
"......?" Xu Shiqing really wanted to type a question mark in front of him. What was this ambiguous and evasive attitude?
The Riddler, get out of my life!
"What are you talking about?" Xu Shiqing glanced up and down, took a few steps forward, and tried to create a sense of oppression: "I have no idea what's going on in your head!"
Could it be that he was just having fun watching him being fooled? That wasn't right. Ghost cultivators enter dreams to hunt! They're not here to play house!
He frowned, his brain racing, and thought of what Xie Jingyi had said last night when he was drunk...
Xu Shiqing froze.
That was eight years ago, no, no way?
The young man shook his head fiercely. Impossible! Xu Shiqing, oh Xu Shiqing! You can't be so narcissistic! You'll become the greasy guy that Sister Dandan described!
"Are you thinking of what the other me said?" Xie Jingyi sat on the bed and asked, "Do I like you? Or do I love you?"
Xu Shiqing's heart skipped a beat. Xie Jingyi smiled and continued, "Don't you want to know if I have any memories? Actually, I do. I've had them from the very beginning."
"But I never thought of eating you." Xie Jingyi said, "There are thousands of ways to kill someone, but how do you love someone? I don't know how to do it, but I do understand that if you die, I won't get the answer at that moment."
"I don't know...the answer to this question." Xu Shiqing said, "You know I can't make any promises to you. I can't give you anything."
Xu Shiqing didn't know the reason for Xie Jingyi's heartbeat. He had never thought that such a feeling would happen to him one day. Love was too unfamiliar to Xu Shiqing. It was unimaginable and even terrifying.
"So the other me and you are both idiots." Xie Jingyi said with a smile, "Being treated as someone else, or having someone else in your heart, these are not problems at all. If you want it, just grab it. Once you have it, it's mine. It's as simple as that."
“…”This is a robber.
Xu Shiqing was dumbfounded.
"I want to make a deal with you," Xie Jingyi said. "I know you promised me that you would help me control me."
"I can cooperate with you." The man still smiled, confident of victory, "I can do anything you ask me to do."
"...What do you want me to do?" Xu Shiqing was a little confused and embarrassed. "Actually, you don't have to tell me to do anything... Because I won't ask you to do trivial things for me."
He is very clear about the distinction between public and private affairs.
Xie Jingyi: “…” Xu Shiqing, you wooden king!
He clenched his back teeth.
"I don't need your promise." Xie Jingyi realized that the guy in front of him was just an idiot who needed to be dragged out of the room by force: "You just need to give me a chance to get close to you."
"I still don't understand." Xu Shiqing pondered fruitlessly and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Logically speaking, as Xie Jingyi's ghost cultivator, why would you do this? This doesn't benefit you, does it?"
He really couldn't figure out what a ghost cultivator was.
"...We are one person." Xie Jingyi said, "Xu Shiqing, I am also Xie Jingyi."
"Xie Jingyi likes you, and I also have feelings for you. Even if my desire tells me to eat you, the desire to love you will make me restrain myself." His eyes clearly reflected Xu Shiqing's figure: "You said I'm still young and there is a way out. So now I tell you, you can rest assured."
