Chapter 871: The Innocent Landlord and the Beautiful Tenant (End)
This alley outside the Rose Building is a space that keeps looping.
Li Gui abandoned the unnecessary memories of his childhood, but it became his childhood self.
Anzi stayed in this alley day after day, waiting for his mother to come find him again and again. He indulged in this cycle because it was the only memory that made him feel that he was still loved and not abandoned.
But now, he doesn't need this memory anymore.
The boy put his arms around Bai Yao's neck, leaned in her arms, and smiled cheerfully, "Yaoyao, I only want you."
Bai Yao touched his head, stood up and hugged him, and walked along the alley, "Anzi, I need you too."
The alley was complicated and went back and forth. No matter how she walked, she couldn't find the exit.
Bai Yao was not in a hurry, but smiled and said: "But it's not just me who needs you, there are many friends who need you too."
"Friends?" He raised his confused face and said blankly: "I have no friends."
"Manager Mr. Zhou, and the neighbor Mr. Tuberculosis, Miss Lu... they are all your friends."
An Zi tilted his head. The people she mentioned seemed to have some impression in his mind, but he couldn't remember clearly. He gave up thinking about it and buried his face in her neck. "I only need you."
"Although I am happy to be the only existence you want, An Zi, you can't only have me."
He didn't understand and remained silent.
Bai Yao held him and walked back to the starting point again. She didn't stop and continued to move forward along the previous route. "You are so good, so you deserve all the beautiful emotions in this world."
"All... beautiful emotions?"
"Friendship, love, family affection." Bai Yao lowered her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes curved, smiling, "There are still many new possibilities in this world waiting for you to experience. It would be a pity if you only stayed with me."
"Everyone in the Rose Building greets each other warmly every time we meet. Although many times everyone has the intention of seeing others laugh, it is very lively."
"Every day before going to bed, I can say good night to you, and when I wake up the next morning, I can say good morning to you again. When I have nothing to do, we can lie on the sofa together and watch Superman. Now we can also go shopping and watch movies together... We still have many things we haven't had time to do."
"Maybe when you are ready one day and we get married, our small family of two will become three or four people... It's interesting to think about the scene where the child may compete with you for the remote control."
Bai Yao's eyebrows were curved, and her softened voice was filled with deep longing and expectation. The lively scenes she described were colorful and sparkling.
The cold temperature in the alley rose slightly. Time passed by inadvertently. A glimmer of dusk light shone on the cold alley, adding a bit of warmth.
The boy stared at her blankly, losing the ability to think.
No one had ever told him that he was qualified to imagine the future, so he had no longings or expectations. He had been trapped in this dim alley for too long. The only noise was the sound of marbles colliding, so he had long forgotten what the outside world looked like.
He also didn't realize that he actually had the qualifications to fantasize.
The boy hugged her tightly, pressed his cheek against hers, and said in a trembling voice, "Yaoyao, I'm scared."
Bai Yao touched the back of his head, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm scared. I don't know how to greet my friends."
"Then start by saying 'hello' when you meet."
"I'm scared. What if I make you angry?"
"As long as you admit your mistake quickly and come to comfort me, I will forgive you."
"I'm afraid... the day I have a new family, I will be abandoned."
Bai Yao laughed and ruffled his hair exaggeratedly, "Then you lock the doors and windows tightly, and tie us together with a string, so that neither of us can leave the other!"
The boy raised his head, and his soft black hair was ruffled by her into a messy look, as if it was blown up. Perhaps he saw his ridiculous appearance in her eyes, and he slowly raised the corners of his lips and spilled a crisp laugh.
"Yaoyao, I need you."
"Yeah, I know." She hugged him forward and stepped into the afterglow of the sunset, her laughter gradually fading, "So I will always be by your side."
The sun was about to set, and between the ever-changing light and shadow, the lonely figure became more and more lonely.
The sick ghost had just brought back the paper doll that was basking in the sun. He looked at the confused and lonely white figure at the gate and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Zheng whispered, "His girlfriend is missing."
The sick ghost looked amazed, "His girlfriend finally couldn't stand him and ran away?"
Of course, they didn't think that Bai Yao had any problems. After all, Bai Yao was able to fall in love with Li Gui. Her madness was well-known. No one dared to touch Bai Yao within a hundred miles. Even if she was robbed, a wandering ghost could run out of the dark and scare the robbers.
Bai Yao had been predicted by Master Zhou Tian. Her ghost-attracting physique was well-known.
Zhou Zheng lazily lay on the table and glanced out the glass window. He seemed to know more and couldn't help but smile with a mischievous smile, "Spear and shield, who is stronger?"
A gust of cold wind blew, bringing a different breath.
Li Gui looked at the boy with black hair and black eyes in front of him and was slightly dazed.
They were very close, but also seemed very far away. They seemed to have crossed the limitations of time and space, and they seemed to see their past and future selves.
Li Gui almost instinctively took a step back. He didn't know what he was afraid of.
Then, he raised his eyes slightly and saw the figure slowly walking out of the black alley.
She smiled in his direction.
Li Gui's eyes flashed, and his ruby eyes drooped, looking at the child standing still again. He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand.
The wind blew his white robe, and the light and shadows were scattered.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the memories merged completely, there was no rejection, no pain, and even no resentment.
Li Gui stared blankly at his empty hands, his beautiful eyes turned into a primitive black, and after a moment, they glowed like a bright and clear ruby.
Seeing that he was not feeling well, the sickly ghost came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Li Gui raised his face, "Sickly ghost, hello."
The sickly ghost was stunned for a moment, "Ah... hello."
What the hell is this inexplicable greeting?
Then, Li Gui ran out with a brisk pace, the long hair and the white robe dancing in the arc, like pieces of blooming moonlight, pure and spotless, outlining the joy and happiness overflowing in the sunset, the bright and dazzling colors intertwined, boiling the hot air.
"Yaoyao!"
"Ligui!"
They were so exaggerated that it seemed like they hadn't seen each other for hundreds of years. They ran towards each other. He lifted her up by the waist, as if he was holding up a rare treasure that needed to be carefully observed. The boy's exaggerated laughter facing the sunset was particularly piercing. He then hugged her in his arms and spun her around in circles.
The two grown men stood at the door and silently watched the crazy scene outside.
Zhou Zheng said: "Have you heard of the magic of love spinning in circles?"
The sickly ghost said: "This is not called the magic of love spinning in circles, this is called extreme joy and madness."
Zhou Zheng shook his head, "Being in love really makes people crazy, fortunately I don't fall in love."
The sickly ghost glanced at Zhou Zheng, smiled in an ambiguous way, took out a bag of candied fruit and took a bite, then turned around and left with the paper doll.
Zhou Zheng frowned. Was the sickly ghost laughing at him for being a single dog when he just looked at him?
"Yaoyao!"
"Ligui!"
"You are so beautiful, I like you so much!"
"You are so beautiful too, I like you so much too!"
"Then I will tear off the skin and let Yaoyao put it in her bag to take to work. When she misses me, she can take it out and look at me!"
"Haha, your joke is so funny!"
"Yaoyao!"
"Ligui!"
...
Zhou Zheng raised his hands to cover his eyes, took a step back, closed the door, and his ears were much quieter. He cursed inwardly: "Really crazy!"
