Encounter

Ghosts linger.

These words popped into Xia Yuming's mind.

When I went back to school, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday. The weather was gloomy, and there were people coming and going in the living area, surrounded by students.

Among the crowd in broad daylight, ghosts can still be seen.

It's not that he didn't doubt whether the girls walking beside Wang Xian were just similar in appearance.But if it's just similar, it's too similar.

The kind of rustic outdated dress and unpopular appearance, which is hard to see in a big city like Xiahe City, is exactly the same as his opposite door from his appearance and temperament to the style he reveals when he turns around and smiles at the end.

But if that girl is the female ghost, she is still hugging Wang Xian, interacting and communicating with him, just like a real person.Could it be the same as Aunt Li back then, Wang found him... If something happened to him, the class group would definitely say that he would know.

Xia Yuming trembled, his limbs were instantly tinged with coldness, and the flow of people passing by seemed to be separated from him by a transparent film.

What exactly is going on?

Assuming she is a female ghost, how can she talk to Wang Xian?

Assuming she wasn't, he had just been nearly killed by a female ghost, and within a few days he immediately saw someone who looked like her.Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Why on earth could I see ghosts all of a sudden?Why would that ghost haunt me?

All the things threaded into a thread of doubt in his mind, Xia Yuming put down his luggage, and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a message to Zhu Bo.

After sending the message, Zhu Bo didn't respond, probably because he didn't check his phone.

Nervously, he put the phone back into his pocket, feeling uneasy, squatted down with his hands to the side, and the air flowed through his fingers, and the luggage that was originally at his feet disappeared.

"I'm sleepy."

The surrounding membrane seemed to be broken instantly because of this sentence, and he was startled, as if he was pulled back into the noisy world in an instant.

The lazy and sleepy creature next to him picked up the luggage on the ground "industriously" at some point, and his beautiful black eyes were shining with a warm luster.

Sleepy……

According to the old Taoist, the thing guarded by the Bian family is the only living demon since the beginning of the world. If it is released, it will bring bad luck to the three realms.

This image is nothing like the creature in front of me who is thinking about how to sleep better every day besides sleeping.

Is Shen Mo's lazy look really something that the Bian family has been guarding?He was skeptical of the information his mother gave him.

Xia Yuming shook his head, took a few deep breaths, he became less nervous, took the luggage from Shen Mo's hand, "Let's go."

"Is there anything you want to ask? I said you can ask me, but you haven't asked me."

Shen Mo handed over the luggage, her pretty face had no expression and her pleasant voice was as crisp and cold as ever, but Xia Yuming could actually hear a hint of grievance from it.

It's so strange, so strangely cute.

Xia Yuming unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, and asked casually, "Then, is the girl next to Wang Xian a human or a ghost?"

"A person possessed by a demon."

"But how could she look so much like... that female ghost before?"

"What you see is not the appearance of the person itself, but the appearance of the possessed ghost."

"So this is ah."

Xia Yuming nodded and did not continue to ask.At the top of the stairs, he thought for a while and pulled up Shen Mo's sleeves, walked to the turning of the stairs and turned his head, facing Shen Mo's eyes that had been looking at him.

It's hard to describe the feeling of bumping into Shen Mo's eyes, as if bumping into a wave of tenderness, even though the "person" in front of him obviously doesn't have any expression on his face.

—This world is cruel, don’t trust others at will, only we will give you selfless dedication without reservation, don’t be too naive—

— Do you know what your so-called friend is? —

Humans are social animals, and they are born to desire other people, but after staying in this world for too long, people learn to be afraid, because kindness is rare, and fights are more common.

There is always natural malice in the relationship between people, decadent desires under the gold of interests, and sometimes even the hypocrisy of warmth.

He let go of Shen Mo's sleeve, walked forward for a while, and was pulled by the sleeve before continuing to step on the steps around the corner.

- I don't trust him -

Xia Yuming hesitated for a moment, but didn't look back.

Seeing ghosts, encountering ghosts, being afraid, and confused, he has nothing to say, no one to complain to, except his parents, and the only witness to all this is the creature around him.The cowardly heart in the chest gave birth to a little desire, like a subtle undercurrent flowing under the surface of a calm lake.

With Zhu Bo's help, even though the current situation is confusing, this trend should go to the good side.

Fear is the choice of the weak, and the strong should be firm and not afraid.

It will be better later, so now, just for a moment, be a weak person.

When he returned to the dormitory, Li Chao sat in his own place in a daze. Wang Xian's bed opposite him was clean and tidy. The things on the table were arranged in the same way as when Xia Yuming left on Friday, and he still kept the dormitory key.

Things don't look good.

Thinking about the couple who were still affectionate a week ago, and the "ghost beauty" next to Wang Xian, Xia Yuming always felt that things must be different from what Li Chao thought.

However, he couldn't tell, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything, put his things away, and introduced Shen Mo to Li Chao, saying that Shen Mo was his boyfriend with Sleeping Beauty Syndrome.

After hearing this, Li Chao raised his head and wandered back and forth between the two of them with red eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Oh, you found a boyfriend right after I broke up."

His face was covered with stubble, he had dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were dull. "He hasn't come back for a weekend, and he only cares about that little Zhen without a word of explanation. Yesterday I saw them hugging each other and walking away from me." However, it’s the same as not seeing me, talking and laughing.”

Xia Yuming had never encountered such a situation before, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he went over and patted him and said, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

"There is no misunderstanding." Li Chao shook his head mechanically, "Actually, I have always known that such a day would come, but I never thought it would be now. I always thought it would be when we graduated." He said He smiled wryly twice and said, "You know, I've seen him flirting with other people on Blue before, and at that time I didn't believe that he would really do such a terrific thing."

Xia Yuming was silent for a while, and said something, "It's his fault, don't be sad."

"Before..." Li Chao paused and was interrupted just as he was about to speak.

"I'm going to sleep."

Xia Yuming turned his head, Shen Mo took off his clothes and stood under the bed.

"You stay with me." He took his hand and said expressionlessly.

"You guys..." Li Chao next to him opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't know what he had thought of, and he had a look of guilt on his face. Finally, he just said, "Your boyfriend has such a good figure."

In the first few days when he met Shen Mo, he spent it in panic and didn't pay attention to his figure. When he did, he got used to it.

Now that Li Chao said this, he realized that Shen Mo's figure is indeed very good, with soft muscle lines, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Think about sleeping with this person every day.

Xia Yuming's face became hot, "Can't you sleep by yourself?"

"No."

Shen Mo stubbornly grabbed Xia Yuming and refused to let go.

Xia Yuming looked awkwardly at Shen Mo and then at his roommate.

Who knew that Li Chao would make a mistake after receiving his gaze, and said with a bleak smile, "I happen to have to sleep for a while, and I haven't slept well these two days."

Xia Yuming groaned, before he could say anything, he was pulled into his arms by Shen Mo behind him, and the lazy creature leaned his chin on his shoulder and said forcefully, "Sleep!"

Xia Yuming felt as if he was being embraced by a cat with its hair all over its body, and he reluctantly compromised.

The three of them climbed into bed one after another and began to sleep. The only sound in the bedroom was the whirring of the air conditioner.Xia Yuming was hugged by Shen Mo, picked up his phone and opened the social software interface, there were a lot of people looking for him, but Zhu Bo was not there.

He chatted a few words with his friends, told some jokes to comfort some people, and finally hesitated for a moment, turned Shen Mo's words into his own guesses, vaguely sent them to Zhu Bo, and turned off the phone.

The curtains were drawn to block most of the light, leaving only a few strands of hazy projection in, and the shadows intertwined on the ceiling.Hearing the north wind whistling outside, feeling the temperature in the dormitory kept by the high-tech crops, and the "person" who was almost hanging on his body, Xia Yuming had a warm and steady illusion .

He pulled out the chain his mother gave him from his chest and turned it carefully in his palm a few times, feeling sleepy, he leaned his head towards Shen Mo.

When he closed his eyes and fell into sleep, the creature behind him opened his eyes, slightly bent his eyes and rubbed his chin on the top of the person in his arms, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Xia Yuming was woken up by a knock on the door. It was already night, and the only light in the dormitory was emitted by the overhead light in the corridor outside, which penetrated through the small glass window above the door.

Outside the glass window is a series of iron fences, just looking at that, he will always think of the prison inexplicably.

"Who?"

Xia Yuming didn't make a sound, Li Chao asked first, with questioning anger hidden in his very impatient voice.

"Ah."

It was a very light laugh, short and thin.Xia Yuming's hairs stood on end when he heard this voice, isn't this the voice of the female ghost who came to his house!

He immediately pushed Shen Mo away and sat up on the bed, trying to climb down to get the mahogany sword, but was held back by Shen Mo.

Turning his head, relying on the little light in the dormitory, Xia Yuming saw Shen Mo shaking his head greatly with him.

"Fuck! Bitch!" Li Chao obviously didn't know the seriousness of the matter. He thought the laugh was mocking him, and opened his mouth to curse, "You don't even want to come in!"

This time, the people outside the door let out a series of giggles, like a series of pearls falling on a jade plate, which was so crisp that it made one's heart itch.

"Knock a fart! I'm sleeping!"

The things outside the door didn't respond, they knocked on the door unhurriedly and asked, "Is Xia Yuming here, is Xia Yuming here?"

Xia Yuming remembered his previous experience, of course he didn't dare to say a word, Shen Mo beside him let go of his hand.Only then did he realize that he didn't know when he had already dressed.

"Bitch! You can't live without a man, right! After hooking up, Wang Xian wants to hook up with Xiaoming again."

Xia Yuming got up and crawled to the end of the bed. Before he could open the bed curtain, Li Chao used the ladder they shared to get under the bed.

However, before he could climb down, he saw a black head rising up from below bit by bit, appearing on the small glass window above the door.

Xia Yuming almost instinctively hid behind the bed curtain, trying to block himself.

Li Chao, who didn't stare at the door, didn't look there, and turned on the light after stepping down the floor. With a bang, the dormitory was lit up instantly, and then his voice raised an octave, "What is this!"

Xia Yuming heard a muffled sound, and his roommate yelled in fear, "Xiao Ming, that Xiao Zhen, that Xiao Zhen..."

"Oh, found it."

There was a light laugh, and it was the sound of the door opening.
