did you lie today

Qingcheng, in a certain hotel

Lu Qiming flipped through the old photo album in his hand. There were three photos on each page, and the yellowing color was the trace left by the years.

He turned to one of the pages and pulled out a photo from the back of the mezzanine.

The photo shows a young couple. The man is wearing a white suit, wearing a toad mirror on his face. He is high-spirited and arrogant. The woman is wearing a floral skirt, small leather shoes, and has long braids. She is youthful and beautiful.

Those were Lu Qiming in his early twenties and Su Yu in his late teens.

Lu Qiming's heart gushed out a strong feeling of sadness, time passed too fast, and he would grow old if he didn't pay attention.

Looking back on the past, sweetness is impure, bitterness is impure, astringency is impure, messy, I don’t know what it tastes like.

The phone on the table suddenly buzzed and vibrated, and Lu Qiming's thoughts were pulled back to the real world. He wiped his face and picked up the phone to connect: "Ah Cheng, why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"

Lu Cheng said, "Fourth Uncle, a woman came to the courtyard looking for you."

The photo album in Lu Qiming's hand fell to the ground, he didn't bother to pick it up, his scalp was numb, and his voice was dry: "Ask, did you ask her name?"

"No." Lu Cheng said surprisingly, "He died very early."

Lu Qiming tightened his hand on the corner of the table, it was her.

"Acheng, help Fourth Uncle keep her," Lu Qiming changed his mind, "Let her come to Fourth Uncle, and Fourth Uncle will tell you the exact address."

The next moment, he said again: "Forget it, she's in a special situation, you'd better not tell her, and don't act rashly, Fourth Uncle will rush over now."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiming took a few deep breaths to forcefully suppress the turbulent emotions. He hurriedly packed his things and left the hotel, not forgetting to put the photo album in his bag.

A light was on in the courtyard.

Gu Changan and Lu Cheng were sitting in the living room, there were two glasses of water on the table, freshly poured, steaming hot.

It's almost midnight, and people who don't have a nightlife are in their dreams at this time.

Gu Changan yawned continuously, his eyelids clenched together in sleepiness: "When will Fourth Uncle arrive?"

Lu Cheng looked at the wall clock: "It's still about an hour."

"So long?" Gu Changan was quite annoyed, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to sleep."

As soon as he stood up, a woman in red floated past the door, with a chain hanging around her ankle, and a delicate little bell, which made a strange and crisp sound.

"..."

Gu Chang'an leaned into Lu Cheng's ear and said, "Go and put some talismans on the door frame, don't let her in."

Lu Cheng rubbed his forehead: "The talisman is useless."

Gu Changan walked back and forth with a gloomy face: "I was wondering, how did she find this place?"

Lu Cheng said don't ask me, I want to know too.

Gu Chang'an walked up and down irritably, Lu Cheng asked him to sit down, and he continued walking.

Lu Cheng closed his eyelids, and there was a light shadow under the eyelids: "Chang'an, don't turn around, you're dizzy."

Gu Changan kept walking: "I'm not dizzy."

Lu Cheng said, "I'm dizzy."

Gu Changan: "..."

Lu Cheng touched the water glass, it was not so hot anymore, he picked it up and blew on it, took a sip to test the temperature before handing it to Gu Changan.

"I heard that the woman outside was mentioned at home."

Gu Changan took a few sips of water: "I don't want to listen to the story right now."

Lu Cheng leaned against the back of the chair, his knuckle fingers dug into the few strands of hair that fell from his forehead, and he scratched back twice gracefully.

"It is said that the fourth uncle has a scar on his chest. He was injured by that woman in the early years. When he was carried back, he was breathless. It was my grandfather and several uncles who joined forces to pull him back from the gate of hell."

Gu Changan was full of surprise. He thought that the fourth uncle was hurt in his heart, but he didn't expect his body to be hurt too.

"Then what are you looking for? A belated apology?"

A gust of wind suddenly blew in outside the door, mixed with terrifying evil spirit, the water glass in Gu Changan's hand shattered directly.

As soon as he turned his head, the woman who was supposed to be in the courtyard was standing behind him, looking at him with blood red eyes.

The rotting and smelly face was illuminated by the incandescent lamp, making one's hair stand on end.

Gu Chang'an instinctively ran to Lu Cheng's side, and only after he finished did he realize that his behavior was quite cowardly.

Lu Cheng didn't think it was cowardice, he thought it was trust and dependence.

So he took Gu Changan into his arms no matter if it was inappropriate or not.

Gu Changan broke free almost immediately, glaring at Lu Cheng from the corner of his eye, would you like to show some face?I didn't see a person standing in the room who was neither human nor ghost...

The words stopped abruptly, Gu Changan looked at the woman sitting on a mahogany chair, the corners of his eyes twitched.

The surrounding air unknowingly became turbid.

If Lu Cheng didn't open his mouth, Gu Chang'an would not take the initiative to chat with the woman in red even if he had a stomachache.

Neither human nor ghost, with a rotten face and dirt on his body, as if he crawled out of a grave.

Sitting there, the surroundings are full of evil spirits, making you panic.

So there was silence in the living room, and time passed by in an unspeakable atmosphere.

Lu Qiming encountered an accident on the way here and was delayed for some time. When he arrived, Gu Chang'an had already fallen asleep against Lu Cheng.

Now that the rightful lord is here, there will be nothing to do with Gu Changan and Lu Cheng.

Gu Changan was not in a hurry to go to sleep, he was still in the living room, he took out a pack of gummies as if by magic, and was dragged away by a hand just as he was about to open it.

Lu Cheng threw the sugar on the coffee table: "Don't eat it at night."

Gu Changan glared dissatisfiedly: "I'm hungry."

"Then you go to bed." Lu Cheng patted his butt, and said very gently and considerately, "You won't be hungry when you sleep, go."

Gu Changan rolled his eyes at him, and muttered childishly: "If you don't eat it yourself, you won't let me eat it, it's enough."

The ear-piercing sound of the chair scraping against the ground came suddenly, and Lu Cheng's muscle memory immediately reacted defensively, tensing up instantly.

Gu Chang'an noticed this little detail, and guessed that the man thought he was going to have a fit, and put on a posture waiting to be beaten, he chuckled: "The more you live, the more childish you are."

Lu Cheng's face darkened, and he was angry in a suit: "Who are you talking about?"

"Tell me about you," Gu Changan said, lying on the man's back, hugging his neck and laughing, "I'm talking about myself, too."

Lu Cheng grabbed Gu Chang'an's arm, dragged him from behind to the front, wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his face in it.

The movement was smooth, and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

How did this sticky energy come out...

Gu Changan stroked the man's short hair, put his fingers in, rubbed his fingertips against his warm scalp, and said curiously, "Can Fourth Uncle do it?"

"Yes." Lu Cheng closed his eyes, breathed in the smell of his body, and lowered his voice.

Gu Changan patted him lightly: "Brother, if you want to sleep, go to the room and sleep. What does it look like lying in my arms? Want to drink milk?"

Lu Cheng turned a deaf ear to his teasing.

Gu Changan looked at the ceiling, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Mr. Lu is being willful.

Not long after, there was a shrill cry from the bamboo forest to the south of the courtyard.

Gu Changan was about to stretch, but the movement suddenly froze, and the pores all over his body exploded.

Lu Cheng frowned: "We are not suitable to go."

Gu Changan said in peace that I didn't intend to join in the fun, he rubbed the goose bumps on his arms through his pajamas: "Tell me about them."

Lu Cheng looked up at Gu Changan: "Don't you want to hear the story?"

"One moment and another moment." Gu Changan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "Now I want to hear it."

Lu Cheng folded his long legs and said lazily: "Actually, there is nothing to say."

When Gu Changan heard this, he felt like he was going to wither. His curiosity fermented, and it was not so easy to dismiss: "Tell me well."

"That woman's name is Su Yu, and she is Fourth Uncle's first love." Lu Cheng said, "They fell in love at first sight."

"On the second day after the Lu family received the news that Fourth Uncle was going to bring him back, something happened to him."

"It was my second uncle who found fourth uncle. He was dying in a pool of blood, with a sword stuck in his chest. The sword belonged to Su Yu, and she was nowhere to be found."

"After Fourth Uncle wakes up, tell everyone not to go to Su's house, and don't mention Su Yu's name in front of him."

Gu Changan waited for a long time without waiting for the follow-up: "That's it?"

Lu Cheng shrugged: "That's it."

Gu Changan was a hundred times dissatisfied: "Amusing me?"

Lu Cheng looked wronged: "How dare I."

Gu Changan looked at him with a smile on his face.

Lu Cheng's bones were not crisp, but his back was cold. He said seriously, "I really didn't tease you."

In the middle of the night, I just want to sleep with you in my arms, so I don't have the heart to tease you.

The cries from the bamboo grove changed from mournful to plaintive, and those who listened were terrified.

Fortunately, this area is far away from the market, and the location is relatively remote. Gu Changan and Lu Cheng live there. If there are other residents, they will be scared to pee.

Gu Changan pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out: "Why would Su Yu be so cruel to Fourth Uncle? Aren't they all going to be taken home?"

Lu Cheng said lightly: "Who knows."

However, the version that Lu Cheng told Gu Changan was heard from the Lu family, and there was a big deviation from the real situation.

The truth is that there were still a group of people present.

I don't know the origin of that group of people, but one thing is certain, they are after Su Yu, and Lu Qiming and her can only deal with it awkwardly.

Not long after the confrontation, another person came, his face covered, and he didn't know who it was.

When Lu Qiming saw the other party throwing a soft sword from his waist, he was stunned.

Because that sword is exactly the same as Su Yu's.

Lu Qiming was so dazed that he had several injuries on his body, and the situation was one-sided.

He saw the man aiming the tip of the sword at Su Yu.

But Su Yu just trembled all over, his eyes widened, and there was no other reaction.

At the critical moment, Lu Qiming didn't have time to think deeply, so he rushed over to protect Su Yu behind him, and blocked the sword for her.

The results of it?

Lu Qiming was hovering between life and death, and Su Yu, who had promised him an eternal alliance, left him and left, how could he not hate it?
