Half of Tang Yu's face was hidden in the darkness, while the other half was made even more handsome by the light of the red candle. His pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes were filled with a fresh breath that made people unable to help but drown in them.
But in this dreamlike state, Huaiyu found it increasingly difficult to see what the person beside her looked like.
How much did Tang Yu hide from him?
Yes, I am just a ghost floating between heaven and earth. How much sincerity should Tang Yu give me?
Huaiyu's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were forced to rise into a self-deprecating smile. Then he tried to get up from Tang Yu's arms with one hand.
Well, all this was just something he forced upon himself.
Tang Yu's brain hadn't reacted yet, but he was quick to act. He grabbed Huaiyu's wrist, which was as delicate as an umbrella rib, and pulled her back before asking:
"What's wrong?"
Could it be that Huaiyu doesn't even give him a chance to argue... bah, explain himself?
"It's nothing. If you don't want to, why should I force you? Just sleep alone tonight." Huaiyu's voice was cold, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the ripples in it.
It seems... a little aggrieved?
Something bad is happening!
Tang Yu held Huaiyu's fair wrist tightly and decided that it was impossible to let go, let alone sleep alone.
So he leaned in close and pressed his hand against Huaiyu's cold forehead. His voice, as gentle as the spring breeze, echoed in the room: "Are you really willing to let me sleep alone?"
"I'm scared because there are so many paper figures guarding me."
Not far away, the paper people standing quietly outside the bead curtain said: "..."
If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!
They didn’t move at all!!!
But Tang Yu's expression was too genuine, especially the slight frown, anyone who saw it would believe it. So Huaiyu really didn't move, but repeated in an ambiguous tone:
"Are you afraid?"
"Yes." Tang Yu nodded slightly without changing his expression, leaving himself no chance to hesitate.
As soon as these words came out, Huaiyu really stopped struggling to leave, but turned sideways and quietly stared at Tang Yu in the graceful candlelight. After a while, he sighed and said with a bit of helplessness:
"Okay, go to sleep."
"Sleep? Just sleep like that?" Tang Yu looked at Huaiyu in disbelief. The unspoken meaning in his words made Huaiyu silent for two seconds.
Could it be that... Tang Yu is not used to such a quiet night?
"But I don't want to sleep now, what should I do?" Tang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly with a wanton and romantic look. What would be considered a rogue behavior for others seemed natural to Tang Yu.
What can Huaiyu do?
He could only nod under Tang Yu's earnest gaze, silently and indulgently expressing his consent.
Tang Yu: I coaxed him back!
But when he caught a glimpse of the paper figurines outside the bead curtain, Tang Yu couldn't help but whisper to Huaiyu, "Let them stop guarding. It's a bit creepy to accidentally see them."
Huaiyu: "...If I remember correctly, you are a ghost catcher?"
Having his identity exposed, Tang Yu did not feel ashamed of his behavior, but denied it righteously:
"I'm only half a master at best. Just look at my master's abilities and you'll understand."
Tang Yu was really too honest. In this situation, Huaiyu found that she had no way to deal with Tang Yu, so she had to wave her hand to make the paper man disappear.
Tang Yu: The plan works!
Without the annoying paper figures, it will be much easier to move around later.
As for Huaiyu, she had a similar purpose. She planned to wait until they were done and Tang Yu fell asleep, and then she would find out the truth about his two deaths.
Since Tang Yu is unwilling to speak, there will always be someone who is willing.
A hint of hidden murderous intent flashed across Huaiyu's eyes, but fortunately it disappeared in an instant, so Tang Yu did not notice it and instead concentrated on doing his own thing.
Another night's candle has burned out, the candle wax condenses in the lamp, and the dim sky outside the window is waiting for the arrival of dawn.
Huaiyu suddenly opened his eyes. Having turned into a ghost, he didn't need to rest. He just wanted to spend more time with Tang Yu, so he closed his eyes and lay on the bed together.
After confirming that the person beside him was breathing evenly and showed no signs of waking up, Huaiyu gently lifted Tang Yu's arm and placed it under the quilt before getting up, pulling aside the bed curtain and leaning out.
And within a few seconds after Huaiyu left, Tang Yu, who was originally "sleeping soundly", suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
Very good, this time Huaiyu forgot to leave the paper man.
This is a great time!
In fact, Tang Yu rarely bothered others since he became a qualified tasker, but faced with this special situation, Tang Yu had to choose to "call for help".
What’s more, the master is in this small world, so it would be a waste not to shake it.
Although the system was temporarily unavailable and unable to help him pass on the message, the props left by his master were still effective. This item was originally left by his master to ensure his safety, but now...
What he encountered was indeed a bit tricky.
Unable to get a God’s perspective, Tang Yu had no choice but to trouble his master.
Tang Yu took out the talisman from his personal space. This item with summoning properties can summon the person who left a mark to the user's side within a limited time. Although the time is short, it should be enough for him to find out what happened.
"Big Brother"... No, Tang Yu's master was summoned at this time. He finally got a night's rest, but before he even woke up, he arrived in an unfamiliar place with a dazed look on his face.
"What the hell is this... I told you not to casually accept this kind of world of spiritual power and ghosts..." Tang Yu's master tried hard to open his eyelids with sleepy eyes, and all he saw was a festive red. If you didn't know, you would think he had accidentally entered a bridal chamber.
