Chapter 178 Blind Town (8)
"Really?" Lu Yuanshi pretended to take two bites of the sweet potato in Xiao Huai's hand.
Xiao Huai turned sideways, not wanting him to taste the bitterness, and stuffed half of the sweet potato into his mouth.
As a result, because it was too hot, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Cough! Siha...it's hot, hot, hot..." Tears instantly welled up in the corners of his eyes, and the tip of his tongue was slightly exposed due to the burns.
He had half of his eye closed, and the other eye was too stimulating to open.
But even so, Xiao Huai still smiled unyieldingly: "What I have eaten is mine."
Lu Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, staring at Xiao Huai intently, with an indescribable gloom in his eyes.
He raised his fingertips as if to touch the corner of Xiao Huai's eyes, but at the moment Xiao Huai dodged, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and his fingertips finally brushed across the corner of his lips.
It feels very light and soft.
Just a fleeting moment.
Lu Yuanshi placed his fingertips on his lips and licked them.
He frowned, "It's a bit bitter."
Xiao Huai blinked in confusion. What did Lu Yuanshi do just now?
he looks like……
Lips.
fingertip.
Touched lips again?
Xiao Huai's ears suddenly turned red. He had seen a similar plot in the book that Miss Sophie had given him before.
Damn, for a moment he wished his memory wasn't so good.
But he remembered every detail in the book.
There are more stories behind the book that Sophie gave him. Just thinking about it makes Xiao Huai feel incredible.
He came to his senses and puffed up his cheeks like a hamster and blew air at the sweet potato: "Don't eat it if it's bitter. I like it anyway."
Xiao Huai turned his back to him. At that time, he seemed to hear Lu Yuanshi laughing softly. It was very small, but audible enough.
Xiao Huai didn't pay any attention to Lu Yuanshi afterwards. He didn't know that Lu Yuanshi really wanted to tell Xiao Huai at that time.
Although the sweet potato is bitter, it is at the corner of his mouth.
Very sweet.
----
After returning to the room, Xiao Huai looked up at the time on the clock.
Nine fifty.
Most people couldn't sleep at this hour, but the courtyard was surprisingly quiet.
No one left the room, not even a sound of movement.
Not right.
Just as he was about to go out to see what was going on, Xiao Huai's eyes turned and he glanced out the window.
When was a hole poked in the paper window?
If Lu Yuanshi wanted to come see him, he would definitely knock on the door directly or come in without knocking.
Xiao Huai pretended not to notice the hole in the paper window. He blew out the candle in the room, went to a blind spot, and stood there quietly.
After a few minutes, a figure quietly came to the window.
He seemed to be looking for something, and his shadow on the paper window kept moving.
Something similar to a bamboo tube just passed through the hole in the paper window, and Xiao Huai subconsciously held his breath.
Sure enough, the next second, a puff of smoke floated in along the bamboo tube.
After completing this series of things, the figure outside the window slowly left.
Xiao Huai quickly covered his mouth and nose and put on the mask he bought in the mall. Even though he was fast enough, he could still smell a little smoke.
He suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to sleep.
Xiao Huai came near the bed, and under the bed was the broken mirror that was left behind.
He just leaned against the bed, waiting quietly for the smoke to clear.
He shook his head, and in order to keep himself awake, he bit his lip hard and broke it.
The taste of rust immediately flowed through his lips and filled his mouth.
The pain stimulated the brain and instantly broke through the drowsiness caused by the smoke.
Xiao Huai frowned and concentrated on thinking.
It seems that there is a reason why the yard is so unusually quiet.
Someone wants all their players to go to bed early.
The more this happens, the more it means something will definitely happen at midnight.
The figure outside the window just now was not very tall and seemed to be wearing a hat.
Judging from the current intelligence, this person is most likely Butler Yang.
Xiao Huai tilted his head back, half-closed his eyes, looked a little tired, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
But at this moment, there was a rustling sound at the door.
He opened his eyes and looked towards the door warily.
He had just stared for less than a second when the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure quickly grabbed Xiao Huai and disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao Huai opened his eyes wide and was ready to attack the man.
When he looked up, the person he saw was Lu Yuanshi.
There was a thin layer of sweat on Lu Yuanshi's forehead, and he was also wearing a mask.
"Shh." He took off his mask and made a shushing gesture to Xiao Huai.
Lu Yuanshi lived in the room next to him. After returning from the kitchen, it seemed that they both encountered the incident of Butler Yang setting off fireworks.
But Xiao Huai didn't sweat like Lu Yuanshi. Could something else have happened to Lu Yuanshi?
Xiao Huai took off his mask and only moved his lips without making any sound:
"what happened?"
Lu Yuanshi pointed outside, his mouth slightly parted: "There's a ghost."
Then he put his hands together and bowed twice, as if saying to Xiao Huai - please, please, can you let me hide here for a while.
This was the first time Xiao Huai saw Lu Yuan like this. He didn't look like he was afraid of ghosts at all.
But is Lu Yuanshi really afraid of ghosts?
I guess I'm not pretending to be afraid of ghosts just because I want to be with him.
No one would do such a childish thing.
Although Xiao Huai showed a suspicious look, he nodded and pushed Lu Yuanshi's shoulders twice, indicating that he should stop pressing on him.
When Lu Yuanshi rushed in, he pushed him down into the corner.
He put half of his arm around Xiao Huai's shoulder, and they were too close, so his posture seemed a little ambiguous.
A smile flashed across Lu Yuanshi's eyes so quickly that Xiao Huai didn't notice.
Lu Yuanshi immediately pretended to be frightened, like a frightened white rabbit. It took him a long time to let go of Xiao Huai and looked out the window.
The moment Xiao Huai stood up, strange singing was heard from outside the door.
To be precise, it was more like someone was singing.
The woman's voice was long and lingering, carrying with it a sorrow and farewell that penetrated her bones, and was extremely sad and miserable.
Lyrics could be heard from a distance, not loudly.
"When pear blossoms bloom, spring brings rain. When pear blossoms fall, spring returns to mud."
"I will live this life for only one person. I say the world is so unfair."
The lyrics are from "Ode to the Pear Blossom", but the last line has been changed.
The original sentence was - "Speaking of his king's love is foolish", but here it was changed to "Speaking of his world is too unfair".
Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows. Isn’t “secular” the word that appeared in the clue?
The scope of secular representation is too broad, so what exactly does secular mean here?
Perhaps if we can figure out what secularity represents, we will be one step closer to the truth of the world.
Ode to Pear Blossoms, a praise to pear blossoms, but also a praise to love.
Apart from the sound of opera continuing, Xiao Huai did not see any ghost-like creatures in the yard.
When he looked at Lu Yuan, he frowned, as if questioning him.
Are you lying to me?
Lu Yuanshi shook his head pitifully and mouthed, "In my room."
In that case, why not see what that ghost is?
Xiao Huai extended his hand towards Lu Yuanshi, raised his eyebrows and whispered, "How about we go see the female ghost first, and then listen to the song?"
