The ancient house stands quietly in the wilderness, without any change as it did thousands of years ago, except that the surrounding scenery has changed from the original wealthy families to low earthen houses and then returned to dust, only this house has remained the same, lonely and desolate.
Qiu Jingyu was still wearing the red clothes, his long black hair was tied up high with a red brocade ribbon, he had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He stood in the middle of the corridor in front of the main house, lost in thought.
Those paper-cuts and curtains had been there since the day the Qiu Mansion was completely destroyed from top to bottom. Perhaps due to the influence of the forbidden technique, the red paper and gauze still retained their original appearance like other things in the mansion, but in Qiu Jingyu's eyes, there was only irony.
Qiu Jingyu waved his sleeves, and the entire mansion changed its appearance. The courtyard wall collapsed and became dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and the old locust tree was uprooted and fell in the middle of the courtyard. Occasionally, a few white bones could be seen in the dense weeds, silently accusing the tragedy of that year.
Qiu Jingyu somehow thought of the young man's home again. The dim light was warm and soft, illuminating the entire room with a sense of warmth. The bed was covered with a thick goose down mattress, and there was a pleasant sweet fragrance, which formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated mansion in front of him.
The ghostly aura lingering around the man moved, and the mansion returned to its former prosperity and dignity. Even the paper-cuts and red gauze that had been promised to destroy were now back in their original places, looking brand new.
The unfinished happy event in this house should finally come to an end.
…
Xu Nuo slept well until dawn. Perhaps because he was frightened before, he did not sleep well at the beginning. He could even feel the cold and invisible tentacles wandering around his body, but he could not open his eyes no matter what. Fortunately, the feeling disappeared in the end, and he dreamed of the days when he and his lover were together, and gradually fell into a sweet dream.
"Hmm..." Xu Nuo rubbed his eyes. He felt lazy and didn't want to get up. His head was also dizzy. "66, what time is it?"
666 signaled that this would be good, and quickly responded to him, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon."
Xu Nuo was in a daze and only then realized that something was wrong. Sure enough, when he touched his forehead, he was startled by the high temperature.
"66... I feel uncomfortable." He had no strength in his body and couldn't even get up, let alone go to the living room to get his mobile phone. It was easier to have wild thoughts after having a fever. Xu Nuo wondered in a daze whether he would die alone at home.
"Wu...it's all his fault. I don't want to die. It's so painful..."
The boy on the big bed had an abnormally flushed face, was breathing heavily, and was sobbing pitifully.
666 could only anxiously condense the entity of a puppy, run to the living room and bring back his mobile phone in his mouth.
Xiao Gou put the phone under his hand and nudged Xu Nuo with his head, but unfortunately the boy with a fever had fallen into a semi-comatose state and did not respond.
As the ominous ghost aura approached, the soft hair on 666's body stood up and then disappeared on the spot.
Qiu Jingyu had a bad premonition from the very beginning, and the feeling of uneasiness gradually deepened as time passed. There were few things in the world that tied him down. The man left the ancient house without hesitation, and appeared out of thin air in front of Xu Nuo's bed the next second.
The little thing that was full of energy yesterday was now breathing sickly, its thick eyelashes like crow feathers were tightly closed, casting a shadow on its slightly bluish eyelids.
Qiu Jingyu frowned and touched his forehead. His hand was cool, and the boy, feeling a little more comfortable, moaned and moved closer.
Qiu Jingyu sighed and pulled out a wisp of black air from his body. The ghost energy could not wait to stick to Xu Nuo's body. Qiu Jingyu's expression contained a warning, and the ghost energy quickly became obedient again, extracting a trace of turbid air from Xu Nuo's body and then swallowing it in one gulp.
The ghost energy, which had grown a little bigger, rolled around with satisfaction, then tentatively moved closer to the boy.
"Get back here!" the man said, his voice like a spring flowing through a mountain stream, cold and pleasant. The ghost energy obediently returned to his body and quickly merged with the other black energy.
Xu Nuo only felt that the pain in his body was suddenly drained away, and then he felt much more comfortable and his mind became clearer.
A small hand with blue veins stretched out from the quilt and reached straight into the void beside the bed, just one centimeter away from touching Qiu Jingyu's neck.
"Is it you?" The young man's voice was still a little hoarse, but he could not hide his certainty. Although it was clearly a question, he already had the answer in his heart.
Qiu Jingyu didn't say anything, nor did he show up, but just stared at everything that happened to the person in front of him with obsession.
"Last night in the bathroom... it was you too. It's always been you, right?" He said with increasing impatience and aggrievedness, "Why didn't you dare come out, you bad ghost? I never want to see you again..."
A cold hand wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and a man in gorgeous clothes appeared in his sight. "Why do you have to let me come out?"
The boy didn't buy it, and picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at him, "Go away! I don't want to see you anymore! I hate you, I hate you the most..."
The man's aura changed, and a storm was about to come. He simply leaned over and restrained him on the bed, "No."
The young master was a person who would rather be soft-hearted than tough. Now the man didn't know how to coax him, but instead went against him. Tears suddenly fell from his eyes and he sobbed silently.
"Don't... don't cry, it's my fault, I'm leaving now," Qiu Jingyu panicked, withdrew his hand and stood up.
"Go away! Let me... just die of illness." The young master cried even harder, with a look of despair, but he happened to have a firm grasp on Qiu Jingyu's weak spot.
The expressionless man looked a little helpless for the first time, and frantically wiped his tears. "No, I won't leave. I'll stay and take care of you."
Even though he knew that his illness had been completely devoured and he now had the strength to threaten others, Qiu Jingyu just couldn't bear to be cruel to him and just let him order him around.
The thousand-year-old evil ghost held a young boy with delicate features in his arms and coaxed him gently, allowing the boy to unreasonably hit his chest with his hands. If the ghosts who obeyed his orders knew about this, they would probably be shocked.
"I'll prepare some porridge for you, okay? Should I eat something to fill my stomach?"
After hearing what he said, Xu Nuo felt an even more obvious sense of emptiness in his stomach, but he still tried to argue with him.
"Who cares? I'll just starve to death. Anyway, you'll be happy to see me suffer."
They had just met, but they were bickering naturally like a couple who had been at odds with each other for a lifetime. For the first time in his life, Qiu Jingyu not only did not lose his patience, but even seemed to enjoy it.
"It's all my fault, Nuonuo, don't starve because of me..."
"Who is for you?!"
Both of them were stunned after they finished speaking. Qiu Jingyu didn't know why he called out his name so naturally, even though the boy had never mentioned it in front of him. Before he could think about it, he saw the person in his arms had tears in his eyes again.
"What's wrong?" The man tried to touch him in a panic, but he was grabbed by the man's hand.
Xu Nuo grabbed his hand, sat up, and kissed him hard on the lips. At the end, she bit his lower lip lightly, as if it were a punishment, but also as if it was a soft-hearted compromise.
