Chapter 48
Inside the restaurant, Luo and six other people were sitting against the wall. At this moment, the waiter was serving dishes to their table one after another.
Lin Zi smiled and took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "Uncle and aunt, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
"Why the hell are you pretending to be such a gentleman!" Li Xiang slapped him on the head. "You want to be a son-in-law?"
Xu Xiaoxia chuckled twice, "You guys are so mean."
"Hey, Luo Yu, we all have tickets for the day after tomorrow. Let's go play together tomorrow," Liu Fei touched his stomach, "Oh, I haven't eaten duck in a long time."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow and take a few away with you." Luo Yu said.
"Bring a der with you. Just let him gnaw on the duck's butt tomorrow. Look how fat he has become." Li Xiang said while picking up a piece of salt and pepper spareribs.
Liu Fei slapped the spareribs he was about to put into his mouth with his chopsticks, "Just chew the bones, why eat the meat? It's a waste of food, give it to me!"
Their table would burst into laughter from time to time, causing guests at other tables to glance over.
Li Xiang and his two companions stayed in a hotel near Laixing Community tonight. After dinner, they strolled around and made an appointment to go out tomorrow before dispersing.
After returning home, Luo Yu took a simple bath. Actually, it couldn’t be considered a bath, he just wiped it simply because the wound could not be soaked in water yet.
After taking a shower, he sat on the bed. Yesterday, Xu Xiaoxia went home and cleaned the house inside and out. His room was now exceptionally clean and tidy, and even the smiling boy on the wall looked much fresher.
When he turned his head to look out the window, he paused.
Little Fish Flower is gone.
Just as he slammed the door and went out to ask his parents if they had seen anything, a familiar voice sounded behind him, and a numbness emanating from the bottom of his heart rushed straight to the top of his head.
"Luoyu."
Almost in an instant, Luo Yu's tears began to fall like a water pipe that suddenly burst.
He slowly turned his head, but he saw nothing, as if he was hallucinating.
"...Luozhi?" He called out tentatively, but his voice was hoarse as he opened his mouth.
He slowly walked to the edge of the bed, and just as he was about to lean over, Luo Zhi's voice came again, but he was also very sure that it did not come from under the bed.
Where is that?
"Turn off the lights and close your eyes."
Luo Yu immediately understood that Luo Zhi was going to take him to the underworld, so he did as he said. He first locked the door, then turned off the lights and closed his eyes.
"Okay, open your eyes." Luo Zhi's voice sounded in his ears.
Luo Yu opened his eyes and saw the face he missed day and night, but that face was not the same as before. It looked particularly haggard, as if it would break into pieces if touched.
Luo Zhi wiped the tears from his face and said, "I'm sorry for making you wait for so long."
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yu's tears flowed even more violently, and Luo Zhi hugged him tightly in his arms.
"Did you just come out of the ice cave?" Luo Yu sniffed and smiled, "Why are you so cold?"
Luo Zhi was stunned, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He actually forgot about this. "I feel a little cold now."
"What do you mean?" Luo Yu asked.
"I was injured and my body started to lose temperature." Luo Zhi said lightly.
"sorry……"
Luo Zhi said doubtfully, "Don't apologize blindly. What are you sorry for? I did all this by myself."
"Didn't you get injured in Liangcheng?" Luo Yu looked up at Luo Zhi's chin and spoke in a low voice.
Luo Zhi said: "I got injured over there..."
"That's because of me. If it weren't for me, would you have lost so much spiritual power?"
Luo Zhi held both of his cheeks, feeling quite helpless. "It will recover in a few days. Don't think so, okay?"
Luo Yu stared at him without saying a word, but tears welled up in her eyes again. It was at this moment that Luo Yu realized that they were now in a maple forest, and there was a lake behind him.
Luo Zhi wiped the corners of his eyes, kissed him on the corner of his mouth, and said, "The blue swan appeared. I brought a basket of cabbage today."
Falling and turning, he saw two blue swans in the center of the lake being affectionate with each other, but he had no intention of watching or feeding them at the moment.
When a person is burdened with worries, he or she should not do such leisurely and fun things. If he or she does it well, it's fine. But if he or she does it badly, someone with a bad temper will definitely smash all the blue swans in a basket and chop off your little machine.
But fortunately, Luo Yu has a good temper.
He took the basket from Luo Zhi and whistled.
Two blue swans heard the whistle and swam towards him.
Luo Yu broke the leaves one by one, then broke them into small pieces and threw them out. The basket of cabbage that Luo Yu held was actually just three small pieces.
After watching him feed for a while, Luo Zhi said, "Gi told me a lot of things."
Luo Yushou paused for a moment and continued to throw the leaves.
"Luo Yu, the reason why an accident is an accident is that we never expected it to happen, so don't blame yourself anymore, okay? I will make sure I have a good life in the underworld."
Falling and not throwing, "Have you seen him?"
Luo Zhi nodded, "He didn't go far. After Gi told me, I found him in the ghost town."
Luo Yu looked at the blue swan who was still waiting for him to throw the leaves, and said in a hoarse voice: "...I will never play around again."
"It's not your fault, Luo Yu," Luo Zhi said.
Luo Yu continued to throw vegetable leaves, and then he told everything that had happened in the past few days without hiding anything, including the doubts he had.
Luo Zhi didn't react after hearing this. His face still looked haggard. "That password is only valid for you. Don't worry."
Luo Yu threw away the last cabbage, and after carving the two blue swans, they swam back to the center of the lake.
"Luo Zhi, can you take me to see the security guard later?" Luo Yu looked at Luo Zhi and asked.
Luo Zhi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at him for a moment before saying, "Okay."
Luo Yu took a deep breath. The feeling of guilt was still there. Perhaps it would only disappear after death.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh, Wang Sanpao..."
Luo Zhi said, "He fought his way out, and now, despite being covered in wounds, he's spreading the word about his new identity throughout Liang City."
Luo Yu said, "Is he afraid that the ghosts won't recognize him?"
Luo Zhi said: "It should be."
Luo Yu said nothing more and looked at the fiery red lake.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the two blue swans, which had been flirting with each other just now, suddenly ran away, and swam very fast, while the other one remained in the same place, as if waiting for it to return.
But until Luo Zhiluo was about to leave the lake, no more blue swan appeared. There was only that one blue swan on the lake from beginning to end.
Luo Yu looked back again and found it was still there. "That blue swan has been standing there motionless. Is it waiting for its partner?"
Luo Zhi also took a look, his eyes dim, "That should be its mate. Maybe...something happened and it can't come back."
Luo Yu was stunned. The reason for his stunnedness was not Luo Zhi's words, but the tone of Luo Zhi's words. It sounded very melancholy, as if... he was talking about himself.
But how is that possible? He is safe and sound by my side now.
They continued walking the same way they came, while the blue swan was still waiting there, looking around, until the time came and it left alone.
After entering the city gate and walking for a while, you can see a small wooden house next to the tea stall in front.
Luo Yu said, "Should I prepare to open for business?"
"No rush," Luo Zhi said, "We'll open it after things in the human world are completely settled."
Luo Yu nodded, "Well, the police haven't come to see me recently, but they should come again soon."
"Then do you know how to do it?" Luo Zhi said.
Luo Yu chuckled, "Of course. Luo Zhi."
"Um?"
Luo Yu said, "Believe it or not, if I go to a film studio now, I will definitely be able to get a small role, and I will be praised for my extraordinary talent."
Luo Zhi also smiled, "Xin, no matter what you do, people will like you."
Luo Yu suddenly stopped, and Luo Zhi also stopped.
"Luo Zhi, I've made my plan. If I make a mistake, I have to pay the price..."
Luo Zhi frowned tightly, "This is really not your fault. It's my fault for being too careless. If..."
"Don't interrupt me."
Luo Zhi stopped talking and looked at him.
Luo Yu continued, "After I finish running the small shop, I will apply for a teaching position in the mountainous area. The old man is from a remote mountainous area, and the reason he came to the city is because when he was a child, a teacher came to teach in the mountains, which gave him the idea of going out.
"He said he was especially grateful to the teachers who supported him back then. Without them, his life wouldn't be so wonderful, and he wouldn't have such a happy family now..."
Luo Zhi lowered his head and said nothing more.
"Luo Zhi." Luo Yu pursed his lips, as if hesitating whether to speak or not, "...will you accompany me when the time comes?"
Luo Zhi was stunned. He looked up at the other person for a long time before saying, "Yes."
Luo Yu felt a little lost. Luo Zhi hesitated and it seemed that he was not so willing. Although Luo Zhi said that they would separate sooner or later, he could accept it.
Let’s get together in a good way and part in a good way.
Then they would go their separate ways and fly away, and probably people would forget about him in a few years, but because he and Luo Zhi were quite special, Luo Yu thought that he should be able to keep it in his heart and remember it for the rest of his life.
But at least, I have had it, so it’s not a regret.
Therefore, we should cherish the present time more.
"Then you must keep your word. When the time comes, you can use the face-changing technique, and we will go together and live there together. In the spring, we will come back to see the cherry blossoms in bloom at Sangpo Lake." Luo Yu said.
Luo Zhi turned his head slightly to avoid his gaze, "Got it."
"Luo Yu," Luo Zhi said, "look ahead."
Luo Yu turned his head and froze.
There was an old man holding a cup of tea walking towards them. He seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and drinking tea while taking light steps.
The ghost was the security guard.
Luo Yu was trembling a little, and even his breathing became rapid. Luo Zhi saw this and put his hand on his shoulder, and Luo Yu's trembling slowed down a little.
The security guard was getting closer and closer. He noticed that they were looking at him, so he stopped in front of them. Luo Yu's heart almost jumped out of his bones.
The security guard looked at them for a while, and finally set his sights on Luo Yu. He found that the ghost looked at him with an unusually panicked look, while the one next to him had no expression and looked like it was dead.
No, the security guard now turned his gaze to Luo Zhi again, looked at him carefully for a moment, and finally understood why he looked like a dead ghost.
Because this was originally a dead ghost, but I don’t know what method it used, but it was able to force itself into a ghost body.
Awesome, awesome.
Just as he was about to ask how he did it, the ghost pulled the person next to him away, and for some reason, something suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief after being suddenly pulled away by Luo Zhi. However, he still didn't dare to face the security guard, even though the security guard didn't recognize him.
That feeling of guilt can never be erased.
"During this period, we will prepare some necessary things for the opening." Luo Zhi said.
Speaking of the necessary things for the opening, Luo Yu immediately thought of the big red banner, "Okay, I know, I'll bring a banner when I come over tomorrow night."
"Banner?" Luo Zhi said.
"Yeah." Luo Yu gestured with his hands, "It's that big red banner with the words 'Good Luck in the Opening' written on it."
Luo Zhi knew what he was talking about. "Then how do you want to write it? Do you want to write it yourself?"
"Of course I wrote it myself. I've practiced calligraphy. Besides," Luo Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "the boss might not print the banner for me."
"What's the slogan on that banner?" Luo Zhi said.
"You'll know when I come over tomorrow night." Luo Yu said.
Since arriving in the underworld, except for the time when feeding the blue swan, Luo Yu's hand has always been held by Luo Zhi. Luo Yu especially likes the feeling of walking hand in hand, walking forever, and never stopping... How wonderful it would be.
They crossed Xiangxu Street, arrived at the gate of the ghost house, and sat on the blue stone steps.
"Isn't Gi in the ghost town today?" Luo Yu said.
"Well, it's working somewhere else now. Do you have anything to do with it?" Luo Zhi said.
"No, I'm just asking." Luo Yu looked at his right hand, which was tightly wrapped on his knee. He put his left hand on it, wrapped Luo Zhi's cold left hand, and said with a smile, "Let me make a small stove for you."
Luo Zhi smiled. He was also becoming more and more tired. As he watched Luo Yu's eyes and eyebrows gradually become blurred, Luo Yu's every frown and smile still kept stirring his heart.
Luo Yu was still talking, and Luo Zhi was trying to feel the temperature of the small stove.
"I'll bring you some hot water bottles tomorrow night. You're really cold..."
"Luo Yu." Luo Zhi suddenly interrupted him.
"Um?"
Luo Zhi looked at the blurry Luo Yu and said, "I haven't had a rest recently, and now... I feel a little sleepy."
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, then jumped up. He had been talking non-stop and hadn't noticed Luo Zhi's eyelids were about to droop. "Then let's go in and rest. Luo Zhi, you can hardly open your eyes."
Luo Zhi nodded lightly, and Luo Yu helped him into a room in the mansion.
Luo Zhi and Luo Yu lay on the bed together, their hands tightly clasped together.
Luo Yu wanted to speak, but seeing that Luo Zhi had closed his eyes, he stopped talking and closed his eyes with him.
