Chapter 39 Coincidence?
Gu Yuan swallowed nervously.
He concentrated his mind and drew an exorcism magic circle in the air, but as expected, it had no effect.
The tableware shook even more violently.
Ji Yunzhou: “…………”
“Focus!”
He said angrily: "I don't want to clean up your mess every time."
Gu Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to feel the flow of energy around him.
This time, he vaguely caught a glimpse of chaotic energy rampaging through the store.
These are all lingering obsessions and do not harbor any ill will towards anyone.
Gu Yuan suddenly had an idea and recited a mantra for rebirth.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the vibrating tableware stopped and the lights returned to normal.
A light breeze blew through the store, as if carrying away something heavy.
The boss was stunned: "Is it over?"
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, it's rare that it works."
Gu Yuan looked down and saw that the little ghost beside his leg loosened his hand, bowed to him, and his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared.
“It goes where it’s supposed to go.”
Ji Yunzhou's tone was rarely so harsh: "You saved it."
Gu Yuan was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that he would actually succeed.
A complex emotion surged in my heart, a little relieved, a little proud, but also mixed with unspeakable bitterness.
Why did the magic start to work just when his life was about to end?
The boss thanked him profusely and insisted on waiving Gu Yuan's meal fee and even gave him some dried seafood.
Back at the B&B, Gu Yuan stood on the balcony, looking at the stars in the night sky, silent.
"Why, you're not happy after succeeding in one try?"
Ji Yunzhou's voice came from behind.
"I wonder why now."
Gu Yuan whispered, "Why did I only start to control my own power when I was about to die?"
Ji Yunzhou did not answer immediately.
He walked to Gu Yuan and looked up at the starry sky with him.
"Between life and death, there are many things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people."
Finally, he looked at the bracelet on Gu Yuan's wrist and said, "People who are near death can often see things that ordinary people cannot see, and feel things that ordinary people cannot feel."
Something incomprehensible?
"Including you?"
Gu Yuan turned to look at him: "Are you being so... gentle to me because I'm dying?"
Ji Yunzhou sneered: "Gentle? Little friend, do you have any misunderstandings about your situation?"
He didn't deny it.
The sea breeze blew gently, bringing the coolness of the night.
Gu Yuan shuddered unconsciously.
The next second, a black robe was draped over his shoulders, carrying Ji Yunzhou's unique cold aura.
"Thank you." Gu Yuan said softly.
"I'm afraid you'll freeze to death and cause me trouble."
Ji Yunzhou said stiffly: "If you become a ghost, you will definitely be the weakest one, bullied by other ghosts every day..."
The two stood side by side under the starry sky, with the sound of waves in the distance.
An indescribable tacit understanding flows in the silence.
"I want to watch the sunrise tomorrow." Gu Yuan said suddenly.
Ji Yunzhou snorted, "Vague! What's so good about a sunrise? I've been watching it for thousands of years, and it's always the same sun."
But in the early morning of the next day, when Gu Yuan walked towards the beach wrapped in a thick coat, Ji Yunzhou was already waiting there. In the dim light of dawn, his entity looked almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
"It's so slow."
Ji Yunzhou said impatiently: "I thought you were going to sleep until sunset."
The sun slowly rose from the sea level, dyeing the sky orange-red.
Gu Yuan was speechless for a moment as he looked at the magnificent scene.
"Beautiful but fleeting, like everything in this world."
Ji Yunzhou commented, his tone rarely without sarcasm.
Gu Yuan turned to look at him: "Will you remember? Remember the sunrise we watched together?"
Ji Yunzhou looked at him, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable. "The Ghost King's memory is eternal, unlike you humans who forget things in an instant."
"That's great."
Gu Yuan smiled: "At least someone will remember the scenery I saw."
Ji Yunzhou seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just pursed his lips.
After watching the sunrise, they took a walk along the beach.
Gu Yuan was exhausted and was out of breath after walking for a while.
Ji Yunzhou smacked his lips impatiently but slowed down his pace.
"It looks like there's someone over there who needs help."
Ji Yunzhou suddenly pointed into the distance.
A boy is being carried on his back.
Gu Yuan hurried forward to ask what happened, and Ji Yunzhou followed reluctantly:
"Did you know that meddling in other people's affairs is one of the main reasons for a short life?"
Especially since you have a shorter lifespan!
When Gu Yuan got closer, he realized it was Gu Jing and Li Chuan?
What's going on?
How can we meet like this?
Are high school students so idle nowadays?
Not busy with studies?
Gu Yuan was complaining madly in his heart, but he kept a polite smile on his face.
"Brother? Why are you here?"
Gu Jingren was still on Li Chuan's back. When he saw Gu Yuan, he became excited and almost fell off Li Chuan's back.
Gu Yuan turned around and wanted to leave, but was caught by Gu Jing.
Gu Jing ignored his injured foot, jumped off Li Chuan's back, and hopped on one foot to chase after him.
"Brother! Don't leave."
He blocked Gu Yuan's way and said breathlessly, "My foot was injured, and Achuan was kind enough to carry me..."
Li Chuan stood not far away and added expressionlessly, "He was scratched by a shell because he was disobedient and insisted on taking off his shoes."
Ji Yunzhou sneered at the side: "Your Gu family's stupidity is truly inherited from the same lineage. Is this the inherited brainstem defect?"
Gu Jing then noticed Ji Yunzhou and his eyes widened: "Brother, who is this...?"
His eyes moved back and forth between Ji Yunzhou and Gu Yuan, and suddenly he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment:
"Oh, I understand! No wonder you don't want to go back with me, it turns out that..."
"What is it!"
Gu Yuan quickly interrupted him: "This is Ji Yunzhou, my... uh..."
"My boyfriend."
Ji Yunzhou remained calm and raised his eyebrows at Gu Jing: "It's your brother's blessing to have a boyfriend as handsome as me. Remember to give me some money when the time comes."
Gu Jing blinked, clearly unconvinced: "Boyfriend? Who are you? Are you worthy of my brother?"
In Gu Jing's heart, his brother is the most perfect, gentle and considerate, and no one is worthy of his brother.
He thought Ji Yunzhou was talking nonsense!
snort!
This man looks like a gigolo who is out to get people's money and sex.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Now he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or sew Ji Yunzhou's mouth shut.
"What are you talking about, you little bastard? I'm not worthy of him?"
Ji Yunzhou was so angry that he almost revealed his true form: "Can you speak? I've lived for thousands of years..."
Li Chuan finally couldn't help but speak, interrupting Ji Yunzhou's unfinished words: "A Jing, your foot needs to be treated."
He glanced at Ji Yunzhou with a complicated look in his eyes: "If everything is fine, shall we go back first?"
"Get out of here now. I'm annoyed just seeing you."
Ji Yunzhou was not polite at all: "If you disturb other people's private time, you will be kicked by a donkey, you know?"
Gu Yuan keenly noticed that Ji Yunzhou and Li Chuan seemed to know each other?
He looked at Li Chuan. How could a 17-year-old high school student know Ji Yunzhou, the thousand-year-old ghost king?
But Li Chuan looked like a living person, not some other ghost.
There was no other unusual smell.
Gu Jing was still hopping on one foot, insisting on asking for clarification: "Brother, is he really your boyfriend? When did this happen? How far have you progressed? Did you hold hands? Did you kiss?..."
Gu Yuan couldn't stand it any longer and said to Ji Yunzhou, "Let's go, I'm tired."
Then he said to Gu Jing: "Go back and treat your wound quickly, and we will pretend we didn't see it."
"Brother?" Gu Jing didn't understand and immediately wilted.
Li Chuan carried him on his back again, but Gu Jing's eyes were still on Ji Yunzhou, as if he wanted to skin him alive.
After walking away, Gu Yuan sighed: "Why did you say that just now?"
Ji Yunzhou shrugged: "It's funny, look at your brother's frustrated expression."
He paused, then added, "Li Chuan, who's next to that kid, is no ordinary person. Stay away from him."
"Why? Do you know him?"
Ji Yunzhou quickly denied it: "Who wants to know him? Just remember that he is not a good person!"
