"Let me see what that is."
Shi Mu reluctantly waved the can in front of him and whispered, "This is the little ghost that Old Xia gave me. It's for my health."
Fu Yunshen frowned, "What are you talking about? The ghost hasn't dissolved after being exposed to the sun?"
Xia Hangyi explained, "I sealed it with talisman paper. It hasn't dissolved. I'm afraid it will stink. I put it in the refrigerator every day after being exposed to the sun."
Shi Mu was even more surprised and couldn't help but patting Xia Hangyi on the shoulder, "Brother, you are really thoughtful."
Xia Hangyi smiled shyly.
Several people went into the house to prepare dinner. Shi Mu was alone in the small yard tasting the little ghost. Xia Hangyi tore the ghost into pieces. The dark soul lay listlessly in the bottle. The ghost had died a long time ago. Even if Hua Tuo's ghost came, it couldn't be saved.
Shi Mu stepped forward and took a deep sniff. It smelled like salted dried fish. She grabbed a piece of dried fish and stuffed it into her mouth. It was a little sweet. She turned her head and shouted to Fu Yunshen, "Give me some salt."
Fu Yunshen was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Bei Ling heard it, and hurriedly took out the salt jar. With bright eyes, she handed the salt over. Shi Mu thanked her and sprinkled some in it.
Bei Ling was a little curious: "Shi Mu, what are you eating~"
Shi Mu shook the can, shook the salt until it was evenly mixed, wiped it on his hand and tasted it. It tasted delicious.
"Can I taste it?" Bei Ling couldn't see what was inside, so she thought it was a delicious canned food, and couldn't stop her curiosity.
Shi Mu hugged the can tightly and shook his head: "I won't give it to you."
Bei Ling puffed up her cheeks: "Shi Mu is so stingy, I won't eat it."
Although she said so, she kept leaning her head towards the can, her mouth was very greedy.
Shi Mu sat on the swing alone and ate the dried fish with relish. It didn't take long for a big bottle of dried fish to be completely gone, leaving only some residues on the wall of the bottle. Shi Mu burped and put the empty bottle on the windowsill outside.
She just walked into the house, and Bei Ling came out. There was no one around. The little girl sneaked a look into the can. It was empty, there was nothing, and there was no taste. She put her finger in and scraped it, and licked her finger tentatively. There was no taste. Bei Ling tilted her head. Could it be that Shi Mu was eating air?
"Lingling, it's time to eat~" Zhou Zhi came out to call her, and gently pressed her head with his elbow.
Bei Ling hurriedly put down the can and followed Zhou Zhi into the restaurant.
Most of the dinner was cooked by Xia Hangyi, and Fu Yunshen and Zhou Zhi could only help. Xia Hangyi had been in charge since early in the morning. He was a good cook at the age of eleven or twelve. In order to nourish Shi Mu's body, he put in ten times more effort than before, and the dishes he made were colorful, fragrant and delicious.
Several people sat down around the small round table. Bei Ling originally wanted to sit next to Shi Mu, but Zhou Zhi got there first. She bit her lip unhappily and retaliated by putting a big piece of fat meat into Zhou Zhi's bowl.
Zhou Zhi smiled naively: "Thank you, Lingling, how do you know I like to eat fat meat."
Bei Ling was stunned, lowered her head and shoveled rice into her mouth.
Food tastes better when there are more people around. After eating takeout for five consecutive days, Shi Mu finally had a bite of home-cooked food, especially Xia Hangyi's excellent cooking. She was so moved that she almost cried. While gnawing on the bones, she gave Xia Hangyi a thumbs up, and she didn't know what she was saying.
Xia Hangyi kept putting the good food into Shi Mu's bowl, and said to her in a doting tone, "Shi Mu, eat more, you look so hungry and thin."
Fu Yunshen chewed the rice slowly, looking at her from the corner of his eyes, leaning slightly closer, and lowering his voice: "Xia Hangyi is so good to you, cooking for you and bringing snacks."
Shi Mu, who was busy eating, didn't hear anything wrong in Fu Yunshen's tone, and nodded in agreement: "You are right, Lao Xia is really a good person, you should learn more."
... Learn more.
Fu Yunshen gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "I'm really sorry that my cooking is not delicious." ?
This person has taken the wrong medicine again.
The two were whispering to each other, and Zhou Zhi next to them suddenly covered his buttocks and screamed, and then pushed Shi Mu hard, "Brother Mu, why are you pinching my buttocks!!"
Zhou Zhi's hand was very strong, and he pushed the stool under Shi Mu's feet and made her upper body lean directly towards Fu Yunshen. Fu Yunshen, who was whispering to her, looked at the pretty face approaching with his eyes wide open, and there was a sound of "pop", and the whole audience was silent. Before
she could put down the bowl in her hand, the bone she had just picked up fell on the table and rolled twice to the ground. The three of them stared with wide eyes, looking at Fu Yunshen and Shi Mu in amazement.
Their lips were tightly pressed together, inseparable.
Shi Mu could see the surprise reflected in his eyes, and could also feel the warmth of their lips and teeth touching, as well as the sticky smell of braised pork ribs.
The pork ribs-flavored kiss was greasy. Shi
Mu's heartbeat quickened
. Fu Yunshen's heartbeat quickened, too.
The clock ticked, and her eyes were particularly charming under the flickering light. Fu Yunshen had thought that nothing would disturb his heart anymore, but now, it was disturbed.
In silence, Shi Mu heard the emotional value rising wildly, first 100, then 200, then 300, and finally directly broke through 5,000! The speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
She finally came back to her senses, quickly separated from Fu Yunshen, wiped her mouth hastily, and stared at Zhou Zhi beside her with wide eyes.
"..." Zhou Zhi felt guilty. Zhou Zhi felt that he was going to die here today. Zhou Zhi would be 17 soon. He had already chosen the location of his grave. The price was a bit expensive, but his father would definitely buy it for him.
Zhou Zhi smiled awkwardly: "Brother...brother."
Shi Mu was still staring at him.
Zhou Zhi shrank his neck, "Don't look at me like that. If you hadn't touched my butt first, could I...could I push you?"
...?
She's still blaming him for this?
Shi Mu spread his hands: "I was gnawing on the bones with both hands, and you said I touched your butt?"
Zhou Zhi was also helpless: "If it wasn't you, then it couldn't be Bei Ling, right?"
Shi Mu snorted coldly: "A ghost touched it." As
soon as he finished speaking, Bei Ling next to him suddenly looked at his hand, blinked, and looked at Shi Mu again, with a very guilty expression.
"It's okay, I don't mind." Fu Yunshen put a piece of shrimp into her bowl, his voice and expression were softer than ever before, and it was obvious that he enjoyed it. Shi
Mu puffed up her cheeks, feeling aggrieved: "I lost my first kiss, how can I kiss a little girl in the future?"
Fu Yunshen's eyes drooped, and he looked at her with his chin propped up, "Don't worry, the little girl won't be attracted to you."
Bei Ling was about to speak when Fu Yunshen interrupted her: "Not including you."
Bei Ling, who was inexplicably excluded: "..." Shi
Mu rolled his eyes at Fu Yunshen. Seeing that he was smiling, he immediately felt a little dissatisfied. He put down his chopsticks and limped to the living room to watch TV.
Fu Yunshen and Xia Hangyi cleaned up the dishes together. Xia Hangyi could see that Fu Yunshen was in a good mood. He kept humming a cheerful tune while washing the dishes. He looked at Shi Mu's back, turned his eyes away, and lowered his head and said: "You are very happy."
"Yeah." He responded with a raised corner of his lips.
Xia Hang pursed his lips, closed the kitchen door, and looked at him with courage, "I thought about it, and I still have to tell you these words."
His expression was very solemn, Fu Yunshen's smile was restrained, and his expression became serious, and even his eyes were a little hostile, "You like Shi Mu."
A firm tone.
Xia Hang was stunned, confused: "Who told you?"
Fu Yunshen snorted and shook off the water stains on his hands. Without saying anything, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, turned on the screen, and spread it in front of him, "The evidence is all here, you are still quibbling?"
Xia Hang was stunned again, and then laughed out loud. After pushing his glasses, he couldn't hide his smile: "This was made for me by Bei Ling. I just came to the city and it's my first time to use a smart phone. I'm not very familiar with many things, so I asked Bei Ling to do it. Set up. Who told you that I like Shi Mu? "
The two were silent at the same time, and then spoke at the same time: "Zhou Zhi."
Xia Hangyi sighed helplessly, "I knew that he would believe everything he heard. Don't get me wrong, I just think Shi Mu is good-looking, like a movie star, and it's also pleasing to the eye to set it as a screen saver."
Fu Yunshen: "This is the worst time a movie star has been blackened."
Xia Hangyi: "..."
Fu Yunshen returned the phone and continued to wash the dishes.
Xia Hangyi opened his mouth, his eyes seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't know how to start. After considering for a long time, he carefully opened his mouth, "Yunshen, do you like Shi Mu?"
Click.
The bowl in Fu Yunshen's hand fell into the sink.
He kept his composure, wiped it off, and pretended to be calm, "I didn't set her photo as the screen saver."
Xia Hang said softly, "You don't have to lie to me. I noticed it last time in the dormitory. You are very caring and patient with Shi Mu. Now think about it, you didn't want to teach me math at first, and you threw my dried underwear into the pool the day before yesterday. You told me the wrong answer when I was doing my homework yesterday. You treated me as an imaginary rival."
"..." He actually knew.
Fu Yunshen lowered his eyelashes, feeling a little guilty.
"Oh, by the way." Xia Hangyi smiled brightly at him, "I also ate a fake cockroach in the rat trunk, that was also put there by you."
Fu Yunshen denied it flatly, "I only put mustard, the cockroach must have been put there by Zhou Zhi."
Xia Hangyi smiled even brighter, "I lied to you, but now I know."
Fu Yunshen raised his eyes and uttered three words lightly: "Old bastard."
"Thank you." Xia Hangyi gladly accepted this beautiful evaluation.
"Then let's get back to the beginning. Do you like Shi Mu?"
Fu Yunshen snorted, "It has nothing to do with you."
His smile faded a lot, and the flowing water washed over his wrinkled fingers. Xia Hang spoke slowly and gently: "I was born in a place called Quanya Village. Our village is built on the hillside. The mountain road is difficult to walk on and it is very closed. There are only a few hundred households in the village, and everyone knows each other. Because we are in the zombie business, we can't avoid dealing with ghosts. The villagers are superstitious and short-sighted. When I was five years old, a teacher came from outside. He was with a brother next door to me."
Fu Yunshen stopped and looked at him unexpectedly.
Xia Hangyi's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "I was young and didn't know what homosexuality was. I just thought they were a good couple. I liked being with them and could hear a lot of stories about the outside world. Later, the matter was exposed and my brother was sacrificed to the ancestors."
"Sacrifice to the ancestors?"
He raised his head, his eyes gloomy, "He was burned to death. The fire was lit by his biological father himself."
Xia Hangyi took a deep breath. The memory of a five-year-old child was not very clear, but he always remembered the flames that day and the indifference of the people around him. Their expressions and the crying teachers formed two extremes. Not long after, the village fell into decline, and their family moved out of the village and changed land to continue making a living.
"I'm telling you all this not for anything else, but to prepare you mentally. Although I came from the village, I also understand that there are many feelings that are not accepted by ordinary people. If you take this path, I don't know how many people will dislike you."
Fu Yunshen said, "I'm used to it."
Xia Hang looked at him, "What about Shi Mu?"
He licked his lips, his expression suddenly lonely.
Fu Yunshen realized that he might be crooked or straight, he didn't know, and his heart was very confused. After all, he didn't even know Shi Mu's identity and gender. If Shi Mu was a man, he was crooked; if Shi Mu was a woman...why did she lie to him? What was her purpose in doing this?
Xia Hang put the dishes in order and patted Fu Yunshen's shoulder comfortingly, "Yunshen, I haven't known you for long, but you're a good person except that you're narrow-minded and like to hold grudges and take revenge on others, so I support you no matter what you do. Oh, by the way, I have something for you." As soon
as Xia Hang left the kitchen, he came back with a book in his hand -
"One Hundred Things to Note for Same-Sex Love"
Fu Yunshen: "..."
