Walking through the rockery and rocks, Tang Yu and Huaiyu were always separated by a distance, but their figures, one in front and one behind, under the swaying willow branches, gave people an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if they had stepped into the void but their destinies were intertwined.
Tang Yu rested his hand on the umbrella handle and called out to the person in front of him lazily, "Mr. Huai, are you really comfortable living with a stranger?"
The fluttering black robe in front of him slowly stopped. Huaiyu's hands, hidden in his robe, clenched silently. He took a deep breath and finally returned to his normal tone:
"Master, you're joking. Since my father believes in you, why shouldn't I believe in you?"
If Huai's father were still here, he would definitely be amazed at his eldest son's ability to remain calm. After all, it was Huaiyu who strongly opposed it at the beginning.
"Oh, really?" Tang Yu's peach blossom eyes smiled, like a pool of clear spring water, reflecting the figure before him. As the distance between them shortened, Tang Yu saw the gentle and graceful young man had to turn his head away to avoid his gaze.
"I'm not some monstrous beast, why is Huaiyu avoiding me so much?" Tang Yu asked the system in confusion. After a while, the system came out and said silently: "Host, you are indeed not some monstrous beast, but——"
[Host, you seem to be teasing me.]
"Really? But this isn't flirting at all. Huaiyu and I are officially married." Tang Yu pretended not to hear the system's words. He stared at Huaiyu with a smile, and finally took a step back to give both of them a way out.
"Whatever Mr. Huai says is right, right? Then let's go. I'll have to trouble you to take me to the backyard later."
Huaiyu, who was about to argue again, suddenly lost his temper after hearing this. He pursed his lips and finally said nothing. Instead, he led Tang Yu to his own yard.
It was only when he stepped into the yard that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been too easy to talk to.
Obviously, at the beginning he just wanted to expose the true identity of this so-called ghost hunter...

"This is it. Please take a closer look to see if there is anything unclean here."
After lunch, Huaiyu took Tang Yu to the backyard. It wasn't that he truly believed there was something unclean in the backyard, which was why he was so anxious. It was just that when he was in the same room with that person, his heart, as calm as a lake, couldn't help but ripple, and then a burning sensation would appear in his heart.
How could he feel this way about a man?
A hint of contemplation flashed across Huaiyu's brows.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Huai, for leading the way." The soft light fell on Tang Yu's face, accompanied by a smile on the corner of his mouth, which could easily make people lose their minds.
The person in front of him looked away in panic again. Tang Yu secretly raised his eyebrows and sighed that Huaiyu really fell for it.
This is no different from before.
Although Huaiyu is very important, he cannot forget the important matter at hand, so he looked around the somewhat deserted backyard, carefully exploring the atmosphere there.
After all, he had studied hard in the past, so he was very good at doing this now. Although he no longer had the talent, it was not difficult for him to pick up some skills.
A small paper figure suddenly stood up in Tang Yu's slender hands with distinct finger bones. The figure was small and although it was a little damaged, one could still see that it was loved by its owner. When the fingertips extended outward, the small paper figure quickly disappeared into the window crack.
"What is that?" Huaiyu touched the jade pendant on her waist and held it tightly as if drawing strength from it. Finally, she couldn't help but take a step forward and asked the question that suddenly flashed through her mind.
Why did he feel that thing was so familiar?
"It's just a little toy left to me by a cruel person." Tang Yu gave an ambiguous answer on purpose. Seeing that Huaiyu didn't seem satisfied with the answer, he didn't explain any further.
Well, there's no other way. This is just to stimulate Huaiyu and make him think of me.
But now he didn't know what could trigger the seal his master left on Huaiyu, so he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
It’s true that this little gadget left by Huaiyu is quite useful. It is completely sufficient to keep the place under control. Fortunately, although he was in a hurry when he left, he did not forget to take it with him.
After waiting for a while, the mini paper man came out from a room and jumped onto Tang Yu's palm. The paper man rubbed Tang Yu and danced again, as if he wanted to convey some message to Tang Yu. Tang Yu quickly understood what the paper man meant.
"Okay, take a rest." Tang Yu touched the top of the paper man's head soothingly, then put it into his sleeve.
When he looked up again, Huaiyu pursed her lips and stared at him with confusion.
"You...are there any ghosts here?"
Tang Yu: "Of course there is. A once extremely powerful ghost is right in front of me."
It’s a pity that Huaiyu knows nothing now, so this cannot be said.
So Tang Yu had no choice but to stroke his chin and pretend to be profound and said, "Yes. But we need to wait until night and use a trick to lure it out, then we can catch it."
"A trick? Is it really so troublesome to catch ghosts?" For some reason, Huaiyu always felt that there was something wrong with the young and handsome ghost catcher in front of him, but if asked to explain it in detail, he didn't know where to start.
So he had no choice but to use questioning to vent the unspeakable complexity and depression in his heart.
"This little devil hasn't hurt anyone, so we naturally can't use rough means. We just need to lead him away. Mr. Huai doesn't want to hurt him, right?"
A compliment was placed on him. Huaiyu knew that Tang Yu said this on purpose, but he couldn't deny it either, so he nodded and said, "Of course."
"That's it. All we have to do is wait until night and find someone to pretend to be the bride and wait here. That little devil is still obsessed and likes to join in the fun, so I think he will come out." Tang Yu continued with a smile, "But this matter still requires your help."
"What do you mean?" Huaiyu had been well-read since childhood and had read some romantic novels, but he didn't expect to feel so uncomfortable being stared at by a man.
So he coughed lightly and lowered his eyes to look at the ground.
"The housekeeper told me your birth date and horoscope. After I calculated it, I found that you are the most suitable candidate for the bride!" Tang Yu's face showed surprise, as if he didn't realize how shocking his words were.
Hearing this, Huaiyu raised his head sharply, but his good upbringing prevented him from saying anything excessive, so he just blushed and uttered, "Do you know what you are saying?"
He had never heard of such an outrageous seduction plan!
Besides, besides...how could a man like him dress up as a bride and sit on the wedding bed!
