"Just take me for a stroll through Hell," I said, pulling Lan Qi's hand and shaking it.
Lan Qi glanced at my hand holding his, pursed his lips, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Aren't you the Emperor of Fengdu?" I scratched my head. "Just wander around Fengdu."
I know Fengdu is a ghost town, but I've never been there.
Lan Qi glanced at me and agreed, "Okay."
I then followed Lan Qi out of the mansion.
I walked to the main street of Fengdu, and the desolation here was beyond my expectations; it was even more desolate than the abyss.
There were hardly any ghosts outside, only ghost messengers hurrying back and forth, escorting ghosts who had committed crimes.
There were no buildings, no shops, nothing at all.
It was a city that was completely empty.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, there were no other buildings besides Lan Qi's mansion.
I followed Lan Qi for a while until we reached a city wall.
"Where is this?" I pointed to the city wall in front of me.
Lan Qi glanced at it but remained silent.
I excitedly walked forward, after all, this was the only building I saw.
I went through the city gate to take a look.
Above the city gate were two large characters: "Fengdu!"
this. . .
I don't believe it! Is there really nothing in Fengdu?!
With that thought in mind, I climbed the city wall and looked down over the entire Fengdu.
Alright, apart from Lan Qi's residence, Fengdu is truly empty.
I sighed. I should have known better than to suggest visiting Fengdu.
I came down from the city wall, dejected. "This place is so desolate."
Lan Qi's tone remained indifferent as he said, "This is hell."
"Sigh, even hell wouldn't be this bad."
"Let's go back."
"Hmm." I nodded and stopped acting up. Fengdu, with nothing to offer, really wasn't much fun.
"Why are you blaming me?" I was really curious. In the past few days, Lan Qi had only kept me in Hell and hadn't cared about anything else. He was also very good-tempered and hadn't said anything about doing anything to me no matter what I did.
Lan Qi glanced at me and said, "There are too many ghosts; there's not enough space in Hell."
My mind didn't quite process it for a moment. What does having too many ghosts have to do with catching me?
"You asked me to catch a ghost?" I asked cautiously.
Lan Qi almost choked on his breath. "I shouldn't have had any expectations of your intelligence."
I pouted, "You didn't explain it clearly."
"There isn't enough land in Hell, so I'm going to trade you for land in the Abyss."
I was stunned; I never imagined I could have this function.
"I've already said it, Youyuan and I are done. You should give up on the idea of ​​exchanging land."
"Is that so?" Lan Qi glanced at me indifferently. "I heard that You Yuan has been searching for you like crazy."
In the past, I would have been very happy to hear such news.
Now?
A sarcastic smile crept onto my lips, but it only made me feel worse.
I suddenly looked up, stood on tiptoe, and got closer to Lan Qi. My nose was only a hair's breadth away from Lan Qi's chin. I smiled brightly and said, "Am I really not as good as some people?"
Lan Qi was a little confused by my sudden approach. Looking at my close face, Lan Qi's eyes reflected my small, fair face.
Lan Qi was stunned for a moment before she reacted, took half a step back, withdrew her gaze, turned her face away from me, and did not speak.
Although I couldn't see Lan Qi's face, his bright red earlobes betrayed him.
I found Lan Qi's flushed face quite amusing.
What a shy guy.
Forget it, I won't tease him anymore.
If they're going to trade me for land, then so be it.
Now that things have come to this, I don't care anymore, I don't care about anything.
With that thought in mind, I headed towards Lan Qi's residence without waiting for Lan Qi behind me.
Back at the mansion, I found my room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
For several days in a row, I had no energy and lay listlessly in bed, as if I were dead.
Since that day, I haven't seen Lan Qi again, and I've been too lazy to look for him. I just lay peacefully in my own bed.
"Have you been feeling unwell these past few days? Why have you been lying down the whole time?"
Instead of me going to find Lan Qi, Lan Qi came to find me.
I glanced at Lan Qi standing by the bed, too lazy to even sit up, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine and won't delay your land exchange plan."
Lan Qi remained silent and did not answer the question. "Shall I take you for a walk?"
"What's the point of going out here, it's all so desolate?"
Speaking of this, I really feel sorry for Lan Qi, who has been guarding this desolate place all alone for thousands of years.
He spends his days either handling government affairs or meditating. My goodness, I have no idea how he gets through it.
"Lan Qi, do you have someone you like?"
"No." Lan Qi shook his head.
"That's wonderful," I exclaimed.
The thought of You makes me feel terrible, and I have no hope for anything. The sweetness we once shared has now turned into knives.
I even wonder, if I were lucky enough to return to my original world, could I forget You?
I blinked and looked at Lan Qi standing by my bed. Suddenly I laughed and grabbed Lan Qi's hand tightly.
Lan Qi lost her balance and fell onto me, her face right in front of mine.
I smiled and winked. "I don't have any either. How about we pool our money?"
Lan Qi is good-looking and has a good personality.
"Nonsense." Lan Qi immediately retorted, his handsome eyebrows furrowing together.
As he spoke, he tried to get up, but I held Lan Qi in my arms, preventing him from doing so.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious."
Lan Qi and I locked eyes, and for a moment Lan Qi forgot to refute me, just staring at me blankly.
I watched as Lan Qi's eyes slowly deepened, as if he wanted to kiss my lips.
I suddenly let go of Lan Qi's arm. "Actually, I didn't use any force at all. If you wanted to get up, you would have gotten up long ago. You said I was talking nonsense, but you were clearly tempted too."
Startled by my sudden words, Lan Qi blushed and got up from me, fleeing in panic.
I breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, I didn't kiss him.
I scratched my head. Wasn't I planning to tease Lan Qi? Why did I chicken out at this crucial moment?
I chuckled to myself, pulled the covers up, and drifted back to sleep.
In my dream, I felt as if I had returned to that room.
I watched as Youyuan and Nvxin were deeply in love, like an outsider.
You Yuan's words were piercing to the heart.
I woke up crying from my dream, clutching my chest, wondering why I was still so sad.
Is it really that hard to forget?
I am not reconciled; I want to forget Youyuan.
I don't want to remember Youyuan anymore.
Oh, right, the Meng Po soup.
Legend has it that there is a Meng Po soup in hell, which can make you forget your past life after just one bowl. I wonder if it will work for me.
Thinking this, I got up and went to find Lan Qi to ask for the Meng Po soup.
But I had only gone halfway when I realized that the Meng Po soup would make me forget everything.
It's not a potion to make me forget everything. What if I forget who I really am? Where can I complain to them?
One day I came home? I thought I had traveled through time?
I found it funny when I thought about it, so I gave up on the idea.
