Chapter 068 Crazy Tentacles-7
"Wait, please say it again, why don't I understand?"
Facing Meng Tang's question, Jiang Yan simply said, "I understand."
"..." Meng Tang raised his hand to his forehead, "No, you don't understand."
As a last resort, Meng Tang cast his gaze to the confused young man beside him, "Hey, kid, hurry up and explain it to me... to this brother?"
The young man pouted and said, "The guy my ex-girlfriend was with wasn't as handsome as this one."
"Oh, sorry, I misunderstood." Jiang Yan politely apologized to Meng Tang, "But I feel that you are in good spirits, and you don't look like you had a nightmare."
Meng Tang shook his head. "I was just pretending to be strong."
"By the way, everyone in our building is having nightmares at the same time. Is it because there are really ghosts in this world?"
The young man asked a question. He looked at Jiang Yan to the left, then at Meng Tang to the right, and finally leaned towards Jiang Yan.
His every move was seen by Meng Tang, who smiled contemptuously and curled the corners of his mouth coldly.
But when Jiang Yan looked at Meng Tang, Meng Tang was smiling again, acting like an enthusiastic citizen who was easy to get along with.
Meng Tang winked at Jiang Yan, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Yan's eyelids twitched twice, and he turned his gaze away and answered the young man's question, "There are indeed some phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by science."
"No wonder I'm so unlucky." The young man curled his lips and said dejectedly, "Isn't it possible that I'm possessed by the God of Bad Luck?"
Jiang Yan did not answer the young man's question, but said: "I will give you a sweet dream."
After a pause, he added, "Take me to your building for a look."
"Okay."
***
A chilly atmosphere hit me as I walked into Building 17. It was daytime, but the corridor was extremely dark.
“Tick-t ...”
There was a sound of dripping water above his head. Jiang Yan's ears moved and he turned his head slightly to look at the two people walking behind him. "How long have you lived here?"
The young man said: "I went to high school nearby and moved here then. Now it's been a year since I graduated, so I've been here for about six or seven years."
"So you are about the same age as me." Jiang Yan suddenly said.
The young man touched the back of his head, as if he remembered something, and looked at Meng Tang and said, "You said before that you were also from this building, but why do I feel like I've never seen you before?"
"Because I just moved here." Meng Tang said slowly, "Besides, you've been distracted since your breakup, so it's normal that you haven't seen me."
The young man blushed and shook his fist at him, gritting his teeth, "Who is distracted?!"
Meng Tang shrugged and looked at Jiang Yan's face which was immersed in the light and shadow. "I know more than him. If you want to ask, just ask me."
Not knowing where this person got the courage from, Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Can you invite me to your house?"
Meng Tang chuckled: "My pleasure."
Afterwards, Jiang Yan was taken to the top floor. The young man followed them. He walked behind the two of them, listening to the increasingly loud sound of the wind, and asked in confusion, "You moved to the top floor?"
Meng Tang was slowly searching for his keys, occasionally taking the time to answer, "What's the problem?"
The young man tilted his head and said, "The two houses in this building have never been rented out. I heard from others that someone died here."
"I see." Meng Tang seemed to have just learned about this matter and showed a surprised expression, "No wonder the rent on this top floor is the cheapest."
A worried voice came to my ear, "But there's nothing I can do. I don't have much money left."
The young man looked at Meng Tang's handsome face and said, "When I saw your appearance, I thought you were a young master from some family, but I didn't expect you to be the same as me." The young man sighed and even recited a poem, "We are both wanderers in this world..."
Meng Tang cast a look at Jiang Yan quietly, and sighed, "Why do we have to know each other before we meet?"
The two of them sang the same tune. Jiang Yan became a little uneasy. He looked at Meng Tang expressionlessly and fetched his keys for a long time. He might have thought he was a thief.
However, when Jiang Yan was about to speak, Meng Tang's eyes lit up, "Hey, I found it."
With a "click", the door opened.
A smell of dust fled from the room. Jiang Yan was caught off guard and was pulled by Meng Tang, and his head hit his strong chest.
“Ahem.”
The young man inhaled most of the dust and choked, "Ahem... What is this..."
Meng Tang waved his hand and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was on a business trip for a while and haven't been back to visit for a long time."
"You——" The young man was a little angry, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Meng Tang also inhaled some dust and coughed dryly, "Sorry, sorry." Then he lowered his head, looked at the person in his arms, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
When all the dust disappeared, Jiang Yan felt that the force pressing on his shoulder was weaker, so he was able to pull away and shook his head, "I'm fine."
The young man watched all this with his eyes wide open, his mouth as big as an egg, "Huh?"
"What's your relationship?" The young man narrowed his eyes, "Why do you help him and not me?"
This question was asked to Mengtang.
Meng Tang lowered his head slightly and stared at the arm that had just embraced Jiang Yan. The emotions in his eyes were hard to read, and his voice was filled with a faint smile, "Because he's more handsome."
Finally, he added, "It's my type."
The young man's face darkened and he cursed, "You damn fag. Are you scary at first sight? It turns out you're too gay."
Meng Tang laughed out loud when he heard this, "I'm not that hungry that I won't choose what to eat."
The young man's eyes widened, "Are you calling me ugly?"
Meng Tang shrugged.
Jiang Yan thought the two men were about to fight, so he quickly stood in the middle and tried to separate them.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it. The young man just stood there in a daze and started to cry loudly, "Wow, no wonder my girlfriend cheated on me."
"I've seen her current boyfriend, he's more handsome than me."
Although he is in his twenties, he still acts like a child.
Jiang Yan raised his hand and touched the boy's head, caressing his child like a loving parent. He comforted him softly, "Meng Tang didn't mean it."
The young man sniffed, looked up and stared at the ginger salt in front of him for a long time.
With fair skin and a slim waist, she is so beautiful that she looks like she came out of a comic book, without any flaws.
The boy's Adam's apple moves up and down, isn't it beautiful?
It was the first time he used this word to describe a man.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan asked in a gentle voice, slightly puzzled.
Well...he's quite gentle.
The young man thought to himself.
Suddenly, the young man said, "Brother, I suddenly feel that Meng Tang is right. You are quite good-looking."
Jiang Yan: “?”
The young man's heart was pounding. "Well, well... I don't think there's anything wrong with being a gay."
"Tsk tsk, you finally got it." Meng Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and then reacted after a few seconds, his face fell, "Wait, you are not also interested in my old...him, are you?"
"Yes." The young man suddenly raised his hand to cover his heart, tilted his head slightly, and stared at the swaying lights on the ceiling. "Just now I looked at him carefully, and suddenly I felt my heart rekindled."
"It feels exactly like when I met my first love." The young man sighed and looked at Meng Tang with gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Meng, for helping me get out of this."
Then the young man straightened his clothes, posed in a handsome manner and extended his hand to Jiang Yan, "Hello, my name is Mo Ran, I like you very much."
Jiang Yan, who had no idea how things had turned out like this, said, “…Huh?”
"You kid..."
A gritting sound was heard, and Jiang Yan felt the weight on one side of his shoulder fall again. He turned his head and found that it was Meng Tang who put his hand on his shoulder.
Meng Tang's expression was a little subtle. Although he was smiling, he gave people a terrifying feeling, although this hostility was obviously directed at the young man Mo Ran.
"It sounds nice to call you brother. But it's a pity that I won't give you up even if you call me dad."
Mo Ran said aggrievedly: "Brother Meng, I've been heartbroken once, just let me go."
Meng Tang wanted to say: Do you know that I have been looking for a wife for many years?
"So what?" Meng Tang raised his eyebrows. "I like him, you are not allowed to touch him."
The words were made very clear. The young man pouted his mouth, his intuition telling him that he could not beat this man named Mengtang.
It was only at this time that Jiang Yan understood what they were talking about.
"I'm here to catch ghosts for you, not for you to catch me." Jiang Yan said coldly, "Also, I'm getting married soon."
"What?!" The young man burst into tears and immediately squatted in the corner and cried silently, "Wow, I'm heartbroken again."
However, Meng Tang did not show any emotional fluctuations. He was still optimistic and even happier, as if Jiang Yan's words just now were good news to him.
Jiang Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Tang, "Don't go against him all the time, you are too old to be with him anymore."
"Hmm?" Meng Tang understood what Jiang Yan was saying, "I didn't lie to him. I only tell the truth."
"Do you think I'm lying when I say I like you?"
Jiang Yan's face was indifferent, "What else? Aren't you obviously going against him?"
The smile on Meng Tang's face froze for a moment, then it stretched out again. He smiled heartily and put his arm around Jiang Yan's shoulders, closing the distance between them. "Baby, are you unhappy because I didn't show any sadness when you said you were getting married?"
Jiang Yan didn't even look at him, "You have quite a lot of ideas."
"Since you're so active, why don't you tell me about the nightmare you had last night?"
"Of course, my details are definitely more detailed than others." Meng Tang led Jiang Yan towards home, "You are right to choose me."
Seeing the two people enter the house, Mo Ran wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Meng Tang at the door.
Mo Ran was confused, "Why don't you let me in?"
"Don't you have your own house? Why are you coming into my house?"
Mo Rong: “???”
"Okay, go home and play games."
It seemed that as soon as Jiang Yan left, Meng Tang's true colors were revealed. His patience and smile all disappeared, and he turned into a cold face.
Mo Ran shrank back, but before he could open his mouth, Meng Tang had already closed the door.
Seeing that Meng Tang was the only one there, Jiang Yan asked, "Where's Mo Ran?"
Meng Tang said sincerely, "He said he wanted to go home and play games, so he won't come in."
"Anyway, the two of us are enough. We don't need a third person."
Jiang Yan felt something was odd, but couldn't put his finger on it, so he just said, "...That's right."
Meng Tang's house really looked like no one had lived in it for a long time. The furniture was covered with dust and the ceiling was covered with cobwebs.
"Stay here tonight," Meng Tang said. "I'll clean it up and it will be habitable."
Seeing that Jiang Yan was still thinking, Meng Tang took the vacuum cleaner and said, "My memory is better at night, and I can recall more."
"Besides, don't you miss the thing that's gradually giving us nightmares?"
