it's harmonious

Never expected that Zhou Xingjie would be contaminated with unclean things.

Being watched by Zhou Xingjie and the face on his shoulder at the same time, Jin Yan felt a little panicked and ran downstairs.He stood in the living room on the first floor for a while, surrounded by silence, proving that the dance he saw just now was indeed an illusion.

On the second floor, Zhou Xingjie finally stood up, holding the railing with both hands, silently watching Jin Yan downstairs, his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say a word.

The illusion disappeared, but Jin Yan still felt a force attracting him to a certain place.He turned around in a strange way and found a door.Zhou Xingjie saw the direction he was going, his face changed, and he limped down the stairs while holding onto the stairs.

Jin Yan pushed open the carved wooden door, and a chill came over his face.

The room was pitch black, he felt the switch on the wall, the light was on, and he saw several tall bookshelves densely packed with different kinds of books.There is a desk and a comfortable swivel chair in front of it. Thin notebooks are on the side, and the center of the table is full of messy white papers.

Jin Yan walked in and stroked the books that hadn't been turned over for a long time.The types of books cover a wide range, and it can be seen that the owner is a man of knowledge and talent, which is the same as Mr. Zhou in Jin Yan's impression.After Mr. Zhou passed away, the study room still maintained its original appearance. No one used it, and there was a gloomy feeling everywhere.

Jin Yan walked to the desk and found that there were some rough pencil sketches piled up on it. It could be seen that the people who drew these pictures were not professional.If he hadn't known that the owner of the study room was Mr. Zhou, Jin Yan would have thought that these paintings were made by Zhou Xingjie or Zhou Xingyu, because apart from the rough painting skills, the content of the paintings...was very weird.

The top one draws a house, and a large group of black lines are painted on the side. I don't understand what it means.There is a street below, and there are black clouds of inexplicable shapes in the sky.In one painting, two superimposed figures, half male and half female, were blurred.There is also a picture of a man in a cloak standing in front of a bus at the entrance of a hospital where people come and go... Finally, Jin Yan saw a face, a face that occupied the entire picture, from the outline It looked like it belonged to a woman, but the skull of this person was broken, and the brain inside could be vaguely seen, and the facial features were covered by a broken mask.

Jin Yan pinched the painting, his fingers trembling slightly, Zhou Xingyu's restless mood calmed down, but he himself was uncontrollably excited.These weird paintings... are the world he and Mr. Zhou saw together!Mr. Zhou has never discussed this topic with him. He never knew why Mr. Zhou took such good care of him until today...

It turned out that Mr. Zhou, like himself, has always been troubled by "those things".

Mr. Zhou is the same kind!

Jin Yan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and continued to flip through the paintings on the desk. Suddenly, his movements stopped because...he saw himself in Mr. Zhou's world.

This painting was placed on the bottom layer of the sketch, and Jin Yan saw himself as a college student.At that time, his mother took him to the hospital to see a doctor, and they met Mr. Zhou there.It was the first time that Jin Yan saw himself in Mr. Zhou's eyes. He was a thin and timid boy with his head always down, and a black mass rose from behind him.

Ascending to a high place, those black things gradually faded. Mr. Zhou seemed unable to judge the extent of those things, and even drew a big circle on the whole picture.Although he couldn't see it, Mr. Zhou seemed to believe that those things were still spreading around.

"What is this?" Jin Yan was astonished. He never knew that such "unclean" things would appear on his body.

"Xingyu." The footsteps behind him staggered one after another, Zhou Xingjie came in, and pulled Jin Yan who was thinking, "It's so late, you still have injuries, go back and rest."

Hearing this voice, Jin Yan felt that bored feeling rushing to his heart. He turned his head, glared at Zhou Xingjie uncontrollably, and blurted out without thinking: "What's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xingjie's spirit was not very good. Faced with his brother's bad attitude, he took a deep breath, still maintained his original patience, and continued to persuade: "I know you miss Dad, and I miss him too. Take care of your body. Dad can go away with peace of mind."

"Don't tell me these things!" Jin Yan suddenly became angry, "Your honored heir of the Zhou family, you are wronged to share a dead person with me, right? When are you going to drive me out?"

Zhou Xingjie's complexion finally changed, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Xingyu! What are you thinking about every day!"

"What right do you have to control me?" Jin Yan pushed him, this time Zhou Xingjie didn't stand still, he was pushed directly against the bookshelf, with a bang, several books fell off.

Jin Yan grinned when he saw the face on his shoulder, felt a chill in his heart, slammed the door and went out without looking back, until he was in the room, the restlessness in his heart finally subsided.Thinking of Zhou Xingjie's attitude towards Zhou Xingjie just now, Jin Yan felt a little sorry. He leaned against the door panel and listened to the movement downstairs for a while. He heard Zhou Xingjie whispering to the alarmed servant. He stood at the door of his room for a while.

Judging from how he got along with Zhou's family these few times, Jin Yan believed that Zhou Xingyu's consciousness still controlled his body.This body is a state of two souls co-existing. Jin Yan doesn't understand what happened to him, and wants to know how to get his body back.Helping Zhou Xingyu solve his troubles, will it be possible to restore himself to normal?

Jin Yan didn't know the answer, and was troubled in his heart.However, after knowing that it was Zhou Xingyu who always lost his temper with Mrs. Lan and Zhou Xingjie, his apology eased a lot, and he thought about Mr. Zhou's painting, what are those things surrounding him?Why have I never noticed it myself?After Zhou Xingjie outside the door left, Jin Yan was still thinking about this matter, and slept without dreams all night until dawn.

During breakfast, Zhou Xingjie came to eat with the guests.Jin Yan went downstairs and saw him, his face was as smelly as a toilet, and he didn't want to eat, so he turned around and said, "I'm going to see Mom."

"Xingyu." Zhou Xingjie's eyes were black and blue. He obviously didn't sleep well, and his complexion was still very bad, but he still called Jin Yan with a good temper, "Mom is resting, don't disturb her now. Your stomach Not hungry? Sit down and eat first."

Jin Yan reluctantly returned to the dining table, sat in the seat farthest from Zhou Xingjie, and avoided any eye contact with him the whole time.

As soon as Jin Yan sat down, Li Gui came down holding the black cat.The black cat glanced at Zhou Xingjie, who was in the main seat, and was also a little startled. It jumped onto Jin Yan's body, buried its head in his arms, and gave a soft "meow".Jin Yan stroked its fur, and heard the black cat whispering in his ear: "Fuck! What is that thing! It scared me to death!"

Jin Yan caught a glimpse of Zhou Xingjie—the grimace on his shoulder from the corner of his eye, and felt that it was a strange smiling face. He didn't say a word, and silently plucked the black cat.He was sure that no one else could see the grimace on Zhou Xingjie's shoulder except himself and Heipang who was a cat demon.

Seeing how Jin Yan and the black cat lived in harmony, Zhou Xingjie couldn't help smiling: "I heard that this is Jin Yan's cat? If Xingyu likes it, you can also keep it at home."

"Mom is allergic to small animals." Jin Yan responded coldly.

"Don't worry, I have a solution to this problem." Zhou Xingjie said, "As long as you really like it, you can raise it at home."

Jin Yan sneered.Ever since he realized that this body was controlled by both his own and Zhou Xingyu's consciousness, whenever there were violent ups and downs in his emotions, Jin Yan would hand over his body to Zhou Xingyu in a good manner, and would no longer compete with the other party.Because only he is Jin Yan, and only that young man has the right to deal with Zhou Xingyu's attitude and feelings towards the people around him.No matter whether things are good or bad, Zhou Xingyu's reaction is the most sincere.

Li Guixun looked at him with a pensive expression.Zhou Xingjie was used to his younger brother's attitude, so he greeted Li Gui instead.The old butler brought the cat meal. The black cat was originally nestled in Jin Yan's arms, pretending to be cowardly and cute. When it smelled the meat, it became courageous instantly. It kicked its legs and jumped off the ground, happily eating.

Ah, indifferent cat.

The old housekeeper brought up a stack of documents and said, "Young masters, Mr. Li, I have found out that this mansion belonged to a wealthy family named Hua during the Republic of China. The Hua family had a daughter named Hua Yourong. He eloped with a poor student, and later, in order to escape the war, the Hua family went to Hong Kong and never returned to the mainland. This house went through many twists and turns, and finally came into the hands of the Zhou family."

Zhou Xingjie naturally knew from the old housekeeper that Zhou Xingyu heard someone talking by the well.Hearing what the old housekeeper said, he couldn't help but have a question: "Since Miss Hua's family eloped with a poor student, why does that voice want someone from Xingyu?"

"Who knows if they really eloped." Li Gui said in a timely manner.

"You mean Miss Hua didn't elope with that poor student?" Jin Yan couldn't help looking at Li Gui, "Then where did she go?"

"I'm afraid that's what the voice in the well wants to know."

The old housekeeper flipped through the documents in his hand, shook his head, and said: "In the period of the Republic of China, there were frequent wars, and the fact that the daughter of the Hua family eloped with poor students was found from interviews with other wealthy businessmen. Miss You Rong, there is no more information."

"Do you think it will be..." Jin Yan had a guess, and said slowly, "The voice in the well is a poor student, right?"

He looked at the people in the restaurant, and everyone remained silent for a while.This conjecture, of course, may be true.It's a pity that at that time, unlike now when the Internet is developed, a person disappears from the world without leaving any evidence, and it is extremely difficult to find her again.The thing in the well asked him to bring Hua Yourong there today, but it was a person who lived decades ago, where could he find it?

"Master, the Taoist priest has been contacted and will arrive in the afternoon." The old housekeeper said.

Zhou Xingjie nodded, then looked at Jin Yan, with a slightly serious tone: "Xingyu, you are resting in your room today, and you don't want to go anywhere, do you understand?"

There was a strong urge to refute in Jin Yan's heart, but was suppressed by his reason.Seeing that he had no objection to this arrangement, Zhou Xingjie felt a little relieved.

"Mr. Li, the mansion has something to do recently, so it's inevitable that we won't take good care of it. I'll take you back to the city earlier." The old housekeeper bowed slightly.

Li Gui didn't say anything about the Zhou family's "exit order", and went back with the stuffed black cat.Jin Yan sent him out of the gate of the mansion, and saw his car parked not far away.The black cat was held in Li Gui's arms, with an extremely painful expression, and kept trying to escape, twisting its body from side to side, but it was just doing futile work.Helpless, it had no choice but to wink at Jin Yan.

Jin Yan: "..."

It's not that he deliberately ignored the pain of the black cat, but that the Zhou family is not safe now, and with the black cat by his side, it's better to follow Li Gui.Although Li Gui doesn't like cats, Jin Yan believes that he will not intentionally hurt black cats.Therefore, Jin Yan watched helplessly as the black cat was reluctantly stuffed into the car by Li Gui.Looking at the running car, Jin Yan sighed slightly, and decided to make amends to the black cat after recovering his body.There were slight footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw Zhou Xingjie standing at the gate of the house, the grimace on his left shoulder looked extremely eerie under the sunlight.

This is a very ominous omen.

"Xingyu, go back to the room." Zhou Xingjie said.

Jin Yan walked past him without looking sideways, ignored him, and went directly to the second floor.He didn't go back to his room, but went to Mrs. Lan's.

Mrs. Lan's room was closed. Jin Yan tried and failed to open it, so he had to knock on the door. He knocked several times, but there was no sound from inside.what happened?Jin Yan frowned, and knocked harder on the door, which soon alarmed the servants downstairs.

"Young Master, what are you doing? Madam is still resting, Eldest Young Master does not allow anyone to disturb her." The old housekeeper hurried upstairs.

Jin Yan was about to get angry, when suddenly a sharp pain came from his head, as if someone had grabbed one of his nerves, the pain made him almost cry.He hugged his head with both hands, unable to do anything about the sudden pain, every pore in his body trembled violently due to the pain.He couldn't stand upright, and his body collapsed directly to the ground.

"Master!" The old butler rushed up in panic, "What's wrong with you? Doctor! Let the doctor come here!"

Jin Yan narrowed his eyes because of the severe pain, and everything in front of him became blurred. At first, he could barely see the anxious expression of the old housekeeper, watching him bend down towards him, opening and closing his mouth, but gradually , he couldn't see anything, and all sounds became distant and indistinct.When the pain was extreme, Jin Yan couldn't even feel his body, and the world around him finally went completely dark.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound of water in his ears, Jin Yan's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The pain in his head was gone, but he still felt dizzy.Jin Yan looked down and found that he was standing in a piece of wet mud. There was darkness in all directions, and only the place where he was standing had light.It's this place again, a place between reality and fantasy. The difference from last time is that Jin Yan didn't come alone this time.He is holding a person with his right hand.

It was a pair of gentle hands.

Feeling the warmth of those hands, Jin Yan was completely awake.With a thump in his heart, he turned his head mechanically, and a woman in a blood-red dress stood beside him, her long black hair hanging down, her left hand tightly holding his right hand.The woman stood side by side with him, their bodies almost touching each other, which scared Jin Yan out of his wits.

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from the depths of the darkness, with uncontrollable frenzy.

"Miss Hua! Is that you? I knew... I knew, you will definitely come to see me!"
