Chapter 90
After dealing with Gao Ruhan, the Monster Bureau immediately coordinated with surrounding cities to launch an emergency investigation.
Su Xuan and Gu Shuo couldn't help much for the time being, so they went home first.
After finding the clues, Yan Yue will naturally contact them.
When I returned to the apartment, it was almost dawn.
The two took a shower, not expecting to rest for long, but after actually lying down on the bed, Su Xuan still couldn't fall asleep.
A lot of things happened today, and Su Xuan was very tired.
After regaining his memory and understanding what happened between him and Gao Ruhan, Su Xuan felt a little relieved, but many questions were still swirling in his mind.
For example, the inexplicable ancient tribe, the elusive Zhu Yan, and...
He turned over twice and was embraced by Gu Shuo.
The man whispered behind his ear: "Can't sleep?"
Su Xuan thought about it, turned over again, and faced Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo's eyes were clear, and he was obviously not sleepy.
He raised his hand and rubbed Su Xuan's head. The gentle strength and the moment of peace touched Su Xuan's heart slightly.
He moved a little, rubbed into Gu Shuo's arms, and asked softly: "A Shuo, you haven't told me...what happened to you guys later."
"Later" naturally refers to more than a thousand years ago.
They were just interrupted by Yan Yue's phone call. Since they couldn't sleep anyway, they might as well chat. Su Xuan had to make up for the past.
Gu Shuo's hand paused slightly.
He held Su Xuan in his arms, paused, and said slowly: "Not much happened afterwards."
"I just saw that Zhu Yan in your memory. But over a thousand years ago, after I woke up, I only heard from Ah Tu that he had fought with that Zhu Yan when he rushed to your place, but the other party escaped. After that, that Zhu Yan never appeared again."
"My father's spirit core has been damaged. It will take many years to recover. But as long as he doesn't need to share it with my mother, it won't have much impact." Seeing Su Xuan raise his head, Gu Shuo explained, "When my mother and my father were first together, she said she would not accept the transformation of her spirit core. She only hopes to live as a human being in this life."
Su Xuan was stunned.
That's right... Although there are many humans in this world who covet the power of monsters and the lifespan of a generation of monsters, there are also humans who don't want anything, even if those things are within their reach.
If Ah Shuo had a healthy body at that time, I'm afraid he would also...
As if he could see through Su Xuan's thoughts, Gu Shuo pinched his nose and smiled, "Everyone has different ideas. My mother thinks that life is long enough, and we just need to enjoy it in the limited time. But if it were me, if there was a way that was safe enough for you, Xuan, and allowed me to stay by your side for a long time, I would be willing to try it."
Su Xuan's eyes were sore. He buried his head in Gu Shuo's arms and said in a hoarse voice, "A Shuo..."
Gu Shuo patted Su Xuan's back gently as if coaxing a child, and said slowly, "A-Tu and your mother got along well later. Although I didn't see the end, he should have taken care of your mother until the end of her life."
"What do you mean you didn't see the end?" Su Xuan was stunned.
"The process of transforming a human with a spirit core is very long. Although I woke up over a thousand years ago, I could feel that my half of your spirit core and I hadn't merged well. Until one day when I was twenty-seven," Gu Shuo said softly, "On that day, I clearly felt that the fusion of the spirit cores was only one step away from complete completion."
And this step requires him to sleep for a long enough time to complete it.
That day, Gu Shuo talked for a long time with his parents and two brothers.
He could feel that this time he would sleep for at least a hundred years.
How could his mother and brothers still be around a hundred years from now? And if his mother passed away, his father would surely follow her into eternal sleep. This was a promise they had made when they were young.
So, that day was almost his final farewell to his family.
However, there doesn't seem to be too much sadness.
For more than 20 years, his family had been told by all the doctors that Gu Shuo would not live past the age of 26.
They never thought that, perhaps because Su Xuan's spiritual core was strong enough, or perhaps because of the extraordinary and special connection between Su Xuan and Gu Shuo, their spiritual cores actually merged.
Not only did Gu Shuo live to the age of twenty-seven, but after waking up from his sleep, he might even have a healthier and longer life.
Even though they cannot be with Gu Shuo and see more scenery, life is like this. This journey is very long and the passengers accompanying him will keep changing, but when they get off the bus, they just need to know that the person they love will be safe and sound and will move forward smoothly.
For Gu Shuo, if his family members were no longer around after more than a hundred years, then there seemed to be no need for him to wake up so quickly.
At that time, he once again recalled the piece of paper with the words Su Xuan written on it.
An idea also came to his mind.
If it was just his guess, no, then for him at that time, it must have been an obsession—
If his obsession could be realized, if the future he had longed for so long in his dreams could truly come true—
Then he hoped that the day he returned to the world would also be the day when the owner of the half soul core in his body would wake up in this world.
After hearing these words, Su Xuan felt a surge of nervousness in his heart.
Gu Shuo's tone was very gentle, as if he was talking about something that was not that serious.
"Your spirit core should have shown signs before it awakened, and your half of the spirit core and I are always connected, so when you made a movement, I woke up immediately. In fact, I woke up four years earlier than you."
But probably no one could have expected that after Gu Shuo was transformed and awakened, and when Su Xuan's spiritual core was reshaped, both of them lost their past memories.
But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.
They finally found what they had lost.
Su Xuan leaned on Gu Shuo's shoulder, feeling a little sour and swollen in his heart.
In fact, there is another part about "later" more than a thousand years ago, which was deliberately omitted by Gu Shuo.
Su Xuan knew it, and Gu Shuo knew it too, but they tacitly agreed not to mention it again.
Since Gu Shuo didn't want to mention it, Su Xuan didn't ask.
However, during a short sleep in the early morning of that day, perhaps because the two people's spiritual cores were inductively connected to each other, Su Xuan finally had the dream.
——He dreamed of Gu Shuo waking up after the great battle.
This man always sits alone in his study for a long time.
He looked quietly at the paper on the desk.
Whether it is day or night, whether it is early spring or cold winter, whether the sun is shining outside the window or it is raining heavily.
From waking up after the war, to him saying goodbye to his family and falling into a deep sleep.
During those three full years, more than a thousand days and nights, he just watched quietly, occasionally raising his hand and repeatedly stroking the two words "Su Xuan" on the paper.
It's as if these two words are engraved into the bones.
And early in the morning of that day, after waking up from this silent and long dream, Su Xuan stared at Gu Shuo's sleeping face for a long time.
He gently traced the man's eyebrows with his eyes until his eyelashes moved slightly and he woke up peacefully.
Su Xuan sniffed, leaned over, and kissed his lover's lips.
He smiled and said, "Good morning, Ah Shuo."
*
Su Xuan had completely recovered his spirits after getting up. He wanted to go to the company and then call Yan Yue to ask about the progress of the investigation. However, just after finishing his meal, Yan Yue called him and Gu Shuo to go to the Monster Bureau.
Su Xuan thought that the investigation of the ancient tribe had made progress so quickly, but to his surprise, Yan Yue was not looking for him for this, but for someone.
No, it was for a bird.
A bird picked up by a Yokai Bureau employee on his way to work.
When Su Xuan arrived, the pitch-black bird was standing above Yan Yue's head.
Yan Yue looked hopeless, while the black crow cackled at the computer, "Is this the high-tech product of the 21st century? Wow, wow, awesome!"
Then he said to the lit phone screen, "Is this the high-tech letter writing tool of the 21st century? Wow, interesting!"
"This is the high-tech delicious breakfast of the 21st century. Ho ho ho... I'm hungry..."
Su Xuan strode in, and Crow looked up out of inertia at the sound of his voice: "This is the high-tech handsome man of the 21st century—cough cough cough cough, Ah Xuan?!"
The crow widened its eyes and was so frightened that it almost fell from Yan Yue's head!
The crow was none other than Atu who had been sleeping for over a thousand years.
Su Xuan didn't expect that A Tu was still alive and well, and woke up in this era after sleeping!
A-Tu didn't expect that Su Xuan was still alive and well, and his spiritual core was even reshaped!
A Tu was not only shocked when he saw Su Xuan, but also when he saw Gu Shuo.
More than a thousand years ago, the day before Gu Shuo fell asleep, he went to a teahouse and met A Tu and Su A Mei.
At that time, A'Tu probably understood Gu Shuo's desire to wait for Su Xuan to wake up, but even though he also hoped that A'Xuan could be resurrected, he still felt that hope was slim.
After all, he had arrived at the forest so late, fought with Zhu Yan and drove him away, but he saw with his own eyes that Su Xuan's body was scattered like dust, leaving behind the shattered crystal core, which eventually disappeared into thin air.
He regretted arriving too late and was so devastated that he didn't dare to see Gu Shuo and Su Amei again. It took him a long time to recover.
He felt at the time that instead of waiting to wake up with Su Xuan, Gu Shuo was more likely to commit suicide with Su Xuan.
Unexpectedly, after he took care of Su Amei until her death and fell asleep for more than a thousand years, he actually met these two people in the 21st century!
They are all still alive and well!
They are even seriously dating!
Atu suddenly cried like a baby. Before Su Xuan had time to reminisce with his good brother, he was already on the other side coaxing him.
He kept saying that it was okay, and that everyone was living well now, and then he stuffed him with sesame seed buns and fried dough sticks, asking him to quickly try the high-tech delicacies of the 21st century.
When A Tu's spirit stabilized, Su Xuan asked what happened to Su Amei and when he woke up.
A-Tu narrated the story while chewing on some sesame seed buns and fried dough sticks.
Su Amei is very good.
Although she stayed alone for a long time after knowing that Su Xuan was dead, she soon recovered her spirits.
A'Tu thought that Su A'mei had become indifferent to such things because she had lost her own son before. However, it was not until Gu Shuo came to the teahouse and talked with them the day before he fell asleep that he realized from Su A'mei's smiling eyes that she, like Gu Shuo, firmly believed that Su Xuan would wake up one day.
At that time, Atu felt that their behavior was too heartbreaking, and he did not dare to break their beautiful fantasy. But it was not until now that he realized that he was the only stupid one!
As for Atu himself, he woke up this morning and was almost hit head-on by an electric bike on the road!
He screamed and flew up quickly, but because he was frightened, he cursed in human language, so his identity was immediately recognized by the owner of the electric car and the employee of the Monster Bureau.
A-Tu didn't know whether the employees of the Monster Bureau in this era were good or bad people, but he was too unfamiliar with this era, so he had to wait and see. So after some consideration, he followed - now he is glad that he followed.
Ah Tu was moved and said, "Ah Xuan, from now on, we can live together again -"
Su Xuan held his two wings, his eyes piercing as he said, "Very good, from today on you are an artist of our company, Ah Tu, debut as an idol!"
"..." Ah Tu tilted his head and said foolishly, "What kind of beans are Aidou? Are they delicious?"
Su Xuan: "This silly character is quite good, cute and interesting. Ah Tu, you have to maintain it, you can definitely make a lot of money!"
Ah Tu: "Although I don't understand what you are saying, Ah Xuan, but based on my understanding of you, your expression now gives me a bad feeling!"
Su Xuan turned around and asked Yan Yue, "By the way, no little monsters have applied for our company yet?"
It's abnormal that he only remembered this now!
Yan Yue adjusted his glasses and said dryly, "They think that a boss who would transfer out weird artists like Xia Yanqi and Hanyu is definitely abnormal, and they don't want to be transferred out of their normal state as well."
Su Xuan: “?!”
Su Xuan was shocked: "That's their nature, what does it have to do with me and Dad?!"
His and his father's reputation has been damaged! !
Su Xuan felt very wronged, but since the hope of attracting a new monster was slim, he placed even greater hopes on A-Tu.
He immediately began to think about what path he should take for Ah Tu, what dance to learn, and what talent show to participate in. Until Gu Shuo sat aside and took a sip of tea, he said calmly: "Let's take a look at his human form first. Ah Xuan, you haven't seen it yet, right?"
Su Xuan then remembered that, yes, he had known Atuo for so long, but had never seen his human form!
With Ah Tu's silly and carefree personality, maybe he is a silly beauty?!
Su Xuan's eyes lit up and he began to look forward to it.
When Ah Tu saw Su Xuan so excited, although he still didn't know what they were discussing, he felt proud in his heart.
He raised his little head and said, "Ahem, although I have never revealed my true form in front of you, Xuan, you can rest assured that my human form is definitely that of a handsome man."
Su Xuan became even more excited: "Yeah!"
He must be a beautiful boy, right? A cute, pretty boy!
The next second, A-Tu transformed into a human form in front of everyone. At the same time, he stretched out his arm, picked up a cushion on the sofa, and used it to block his key parts.
He stood with his legs slightly apart, one hand on his waist, and smiled at Su Xuan: "How is it, Xuan, are you satisfied with what you saw?"
…The room was silent.
Su Xuan... Su Xuan stared blankly at the man in front of him who was about 1.9 meters tall, had a tough face, well-developed muscles, and was as bulging as a mountain.
...After two seconds of contemplation, he gave a thumbs-up and said, "I can take center stage even if I can beat up a bunch of pretty boys. No problem."
Everyone: ...Are you sure this "knock over" is okay?
