Chapter 82 Tangled
"Double!"
Gu Yunshuang's hand holding the machete stopped.
What does it feel like to be held by one's own shadow? Gu Yunshuang only felt extremely cold, as if being clamped by ice, without any human warmth.
Before he could react, the shadow threw his knife away, then whooshed back to his feet, quietly, as if it had always been like this, a very serious shadow.
Before he could think about it, Qi Yue rushed in, grabbed his other hand, quickly pulled him out of the kitchen, then quickly took out his cell phone and called the Special Management Bureau, asking someone to come over as soon as possible.
This all happened in just a short moment, and both Gu's father and mother were shocked by this sudden change.
After Qi Yue hung up the phone with the Special Management Bureau, he looked up at them, hesitant to speak, and asked, "You said you bought three watermelons today? Where did you buy them?"
There were no fools present, and when they heard Qi Yue's tone, their hearts skipped a beat.
Gu Ma said cautiously, "On our way back, we met an old man. It was already dark, but he was still riding a tricycle to sell watermelons. He looked so pitiful, and the watermelons looked good, so we bought a few. He also assured us that these were watermelons he grew himself, and they were guaranteed to be sweet. He even wanted to cut one for us to try, but we saw that it was getting dark and it was about to rain. He cut the watermelon, but the remaining ones would be hard to sell, so we refused."
Qi Yue's face was very gloomy. Fortunately, they refused to taste the old man's watermelon on the spot, otherwise who knows whether the old man would give them watermelon or a human head.
Fortunately, they waited for him to come back before cutting the watermelon, otherwise, he couldn't imagine the reaction of Gu Yunshuang and Gu's father and mother after they ate the watermelon and knew the truth.
Gu Yunshuang already knew something was wrong and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the watermelon?"
He suddenly remembered the dark sky that had made him feel bad at that time, and his heart skipped a beat: "Is that old man human?"
Both Gu's father and mother's faces turned pale and the hair on their bodies stood up.
Qi Yue really couldn't bear to tell the truth.
Fortunately, the people from the Special Management Bureau arrived quickly, but when they looked in the direction Qi Yue pointed to them, they saw a big round watermelon that looked very sweet.
I opened the refrigerator again and saw two big watermelons there.
Everyone looked at Qi Yue in confusion.
When Qi Yue notified them to come over, he said that there were important clues about the murderer here. Could the clue be these three watermelons?
Qi Yue confirmed that none of them noticed anything wrong with the watermelon. He frowned slightly and made a gesture towards the watermelon. The confusing spell that Nissan had cast on the watermelon was instantly broken, revealing its original appearance.
"ah!"
Qi Yue turned around suddenly. It turned out that the three members of the Gu family were really curious and ran over to take a peek. As a result, they saw with their own eyes that the watermelon turned into a hideous dead head.
Mother Gu screamed, rolled her eyes, and fell into Father Gu's arms. Father Gu's face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking. If he hadn't been supporting his fainted wife, he would have rolled his eyes and fainted too.
Gu Yunshuang turned around, covering his mouth and retching.
Qi Yue said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you not to look? Why did you sneak over here and peek?"
Both Gu Yunshuang and Gu's father regretted it very much.
Mother Gu woke up and collapsed, "Ahhhhhhhh, how come the watermelon I bought turned into a human head? My refrigerator! My kitchen! My car! I can't keep any of them!!!"
Qi Yue: “…”
The people from the Special Management Bureau instantly felt very sympathetic.
The people from the Special Management Bureau carefully inquired about their situation at the time, went to the garage to carefully check the trunk of the car, and then returned with the three heads.
***
Qi Yue remained silent until they lay on the bed. Gu Yunshuang quietly took his hand and said, "It was obviously my parents and I who were scared. How come you seem to be the one who was scared more than us? You look so gloomy, you're almost emitting black energy."
Qi Yue knew that Gu Yunshuang was also very scared tonight. Now that he realized that something was wrong with him, he cheered himself up and tried to comfort him, but this also made him feel even worse.
"I'm sorry, Shuangshuang. I said I would protect you, but I still let you almost get hurt."
It was obvious that the thing was targeting him, so it came after Gu Yunshuang and the others.
His clone had always been hiding in Gu Yunshuang's shadow. He thought that this would ensure that if Gu Yunshuang encountered any danger, he would appear in time to protect her.
But if he didn't take the initiative to contact his shadow clone, he wouldn't be able to see what was happening on Gu Yunshuang's side.
Ever since the last time he saw Gu Yunshuang taking off his pants from Shadow on the plane, which scared him so much that he ran away, he didn't dare to share Shadow's view casually.
Therefore, he would only feel something when Gu Yunshuang was in danger or called him.
He hadn't expected this to be exploited. He had even promised Gu Yunshuang that he would protect her and that she only needed to do what she loved and didn't need to become a Heavenly Master.
Now I've been slapped in the face.
Qi Yue felt extremely guilty and self-blaming. The negative thoughts that he had been suppressing began to stir again.
Gu Yunshuang held his hand tightly, and feeling the warmth coming from Qi Yue's hand, she finally dispelled the uneasiness brought by the coldness of the back touching her hand.
Qi Yue's hands were warm.
Gu Yunshuang pinched each of his fingers again before slowly saying, "So, brother, you finally realized your mistake and are no longer trying to stop me from becoming a Heavenly Master?"
Qi Yue: “…”
Qi Yue was very conflicted. Before today, he could still refuse outright, but now he didn't have the confidence.
Gu Yunshuang smiled and continued to brainwash me, "Brother, you've also seen your shortcomings. You have to admit that even a god can't always see things. So, we need to complement each other. For example, this time, you didn't sense it in time because that thing didn't reveal its killing intent to me, so it was able to find a loophole. But if I were a Heavenly Master myself, I would have noticed something was wrong and immediately called you to protect me. Don't you agree?"
Qi Yue: "...It sounds like it makes sense, but you don't have much talent. Even if you learn it, it will only be a mediocre one. What good will it do you?"
Gu Yunshuang continued to persuade him: "Why is it useless? Don't I have you? I am not strong enough, so I can borrow your strength!"
Qi Yue: “…”
Gu Yunshuang continued, "At least if I could understand more, I would be less likely to be schemed against. I would be safer."
...That makes sense.
And because of Qi Yue, something had set its sights on Gu Yunshuang. Now Qi Yue no longer had the confidence to completely protect her. The more he cherished and wanted to protect someone, the more he became anxious and insecure.
He now also feels that if Gu Yunshuang can improve his strength, he will have an extra layer of security.
However, he was also afraid that after Gu Yunshuang became a Heavenly Master, he would sooner or later discover the fact that he was no longer a human being, and then he would avoid him and stay away from him.
The thought of whether or not to let Gu Yunshuang become a Heavenly Master kept swirling in his mind, swirling so much that his brain was almost smoking, and naturally all his previous self-blame and guilt were thrown behind him.
A light chuckle came from his ear, and Qi Yue turned his head suddenly, and saw Gu Yunshuang covering her mouth and laughing. He immediately understood that Gu Yunshuang was teasing him on purpose.
Qi Yue said angrily, "Okay! So you were teasing me on purpose. I'll teach you a lesson!"
He reached out to scratch the sensitive parts of Gu Yunshuang's body.
Gu Yunshuang couldn't stand it anymore and tried to escape, but he was pulled back by him, and another person turned over and pressed him under him.
Gu Yunshuang couldn't struggle anymore. Tears came out of her eyes due to laughter. She could only beg for mercy: "Brother, please, forgive me! I know I was wrong!"
Qi Yueting stopped and snorted in fake anger, "You know how powerful I am, right? Do you dare to make fun of me again?"
Gu Yunshuang immediately said, "I don't dare anymore. I really don't dare anymore."
Qi Yue was still annoyed: "I'm in the mood to tease me now, and you're not afraid anymore?"
Gu Yun looked at him with a smile: "With you as my brother, I'm not afraid at all."
Qi Yue lowered his head to look at his gentle smile, his eyes sparkling with light. His gaze could not help but fall on those two red lips that were opening and closing. He thought of the jelly that Gu Yunshuang fed him for the first time when he was a child. It was icy and sweet.
These two thin lips look like jelly, moist and shiny, very tempting, making people want to bend down and lick them to see if they are as sweet as jelly.
Qi Yue thought carelessly, his head subconsciously lowering slowly. The tip of his nose could already feel Gu Yunshuang's hot breath. If he lowered his head a little more, he would be able to taste those two red lips.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled both of them on the bed. They looked at each other and suddenly dodged to the sides as if their affair had been discovered.
Qi Yue felt his face was unusually hot. Subconsciously, he didn't dare to think too much, let alone look at Gu Yunshuang, and hurried to open the door.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu squeezed in quickly, holding pillows.
Mother Gu smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Yue, well, we all think it's safer to sleep in the same room with you."
Dad Gu nodded in agreement: "Don't worry about us, you guys sleep on yours, we'll just sleep on the floor."
Qi Yue: “…”
Gu Yunshuang: "..."
Early the next morning, the Special Management Bureau called and said they had found the old man selling watermelons.
