Flame red

Yanhong has always felt that she is living an ordinary life, and she is happy to enjoy such ordinary life.

Nine to five, an old street, a cheap rental house.

—Oh, no.

Later she corrected, it should be a high-end residential area, a spacious model house.

Yan Hong thought to herself, when the seasons change, there must be some changes in life.Eventually you have to get used to it.

She will dream of the snake woman.Looking at the old man sitting on the sofa in the rented house, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he was motionless against the light, like a clay sculpture.Yanhong didn't need to make any inquiries, because she knew exactly what the other party wanted, and what she could only do now.

Although Mu Yu is a cold and untactful person, he is definitely not the kind of guy who is difficult to get along with.It's just that maybe no matter how long they get along, her attitude will never change much.

Because of this, Yan Hong gradually relaxed.

She is too used to keeping a distance to depend on others, so when interacting with others, she also suffers from sudden enthusiasm and kindness.

——Mu Yu is just right.

Yanhong thought.

But she didn't expect at that time that this kind of coincidence is not something eternal.There will be a change one day, or it will get closer, or it will gradually leave.

Later, Mu Yu didn't know what identity he used, maybe it was Mu Cuihua, maybe it was someone else, and asked Teacher Yanhong for leave, and took her and left the town directly.

Along the way, Yan Hong fell asleep unconsciously, and did not open her eyes on the bed at home until the evening when the lights first came on.

The smell of food was wafting in the kitchen, she stared at the ceiling for a long time, and heard someone fiddling with pots and pans, probably Mu Yu was cooking.

Yan Hong tried to sit up, but found that her whole body was in excruciating pain, especially her tongue, which seemed to be bitten by something, and blood remained.

No one can be so embarrassed when going on an autumn outing.

She muttered, and found that there was ointment on her feet, and the pain was excruciating when she stepped on the ground.

"..." Yan Hong was silent for a moment, talking to herself. "What the hell did I do?"

She blinked, then turned to see a new mobile phone on the desk.Suddenly, I was stunned again, so what did she do, even the mobile phone was not spared?

Subconsciously, he touched his chest and found a piece of familiar purple jade, which was strung up with a rope and worn around his neck.Yan Hong probably knew what happened in her heart, and she was probably possessed by something. Someone couldn't stand it, so she directly tied this piece of jade to her body.

And now that so-and-so is fiddling with pots and pans in the kitchen.

Enduring the pain in her feet, Yan Hong got out of bed, walked out of the room, walked slowly to the living room, turned her head to look at the kitchen, and saw Mu Yu busy in the kitchen.A lot of scripts were opened on the carpet in the living room, among them was a red math test paper, the scores on it were a bit horrible.

She quietly put away the test paper, and then walked slowly to the dining room. There were a lot of freshly fried dishes on the table, basically the kinds that Mu Yu knew how to eat.Yanhong casually picked up the lid of the soup pot, and was stunned.

"Fish soup?" she muttered suspiciously.

Mu Yu's hearing is surprisingly good, he heard her talking in the kitchen, turned his head to look at Yan Hong, and said lightly: "I don't drink, you drink."

"... Are you coming today?" Yan Hong turned her head and asked.

"no."

"Then how do I finish drinking alone?"

"Put it in the refrigerator and drink it tomorrow." Mu Yu gave her a blank look, then turned around again.Yan Hong looked at the place for a while, the man tied up his long hair, wore a gray home clothes, and he really looked a bit like fiddling with the kitchen utensils.

She didn't know what to do, so she just sat at the table and watched Mu Yu busy.

After watching for a few minutes, the big star seemed to open his eyes behind his back and said without looking back: "Don't look at me, take a good look at your test paper."

"..." Yan Hong was speechless immediately, and explained in a low voice. "I miss so many classes, it's normal to fail the exam..."

But Mu Yu obviously heard it again.The other party said calmly, "I'll review it for you."

"Huh?" She froze for a moment, thinking she had heard wrong.

"Is there a problem?"

There are many problems.Yan Hongxin said, but then she remembered that that person was a top student who was admitted to the University of London, and she had absolutely no right to speak in terms of schoolwork.After hesitating for two seconds, he immediately shook his head again and again.

Mu Yu still didn't turn around, but he seemed to know Yan Hong's reaction. "Go and see the test paper, I'll call you when I'm done."

"it is good."

Nodding her head, Yan Hong walked back to the living room slowly, took out the test paper she had hidden in the magazine, and started to read it decently.

But after all, she was a little absent-minded, she read the first big question several times without understanding it, and then she heard Mu Yu asking her to go over for dinner.

Eating is always easier and more comfortable than reading test papers.Yanhong immediately threw down the test paper and slowly returned to the dining room, sat down and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.Today she went for an autumn outing, but in fact she didn't eat anything, not even touching the chicken leg that Mu Yu gave her before, and now she feels hungry after seeing the food.

After stuffing half of a tomato into her mouth, Yan Hong paused suddenly, her expression turned subtle.

Mu Yu caught a glimpse and asked what's wrong.

"...Tongue hurts so much." The child answered in a low voice with a lisp, looking a little aggrieved.

I don't know what bit it so hard, the food was still hot, and it was directly scalded by Yanhong, which made the pain unbearable.She swallowed the tomatoes slowly, and looked up to find that Mu Yu's ears were completely red.

She stared at the other party with some doubts, but the big star just chewed his rice with a flat face, and only after a while did he answer quietly: "Eat it slowly when it's cold."

How strange.Yan Hong raised her eyebrows.

Afterwards, no one spoke anymore, they ate in silence all the time, after packing up, Mu Yu began to read the script while giving Yanhong tutoring lessons.

Yanhong's tongue was still hurting badly, she was smacking her mouth and copying notes, Mu Yu really deserved to be the academic bully in the rumors, even if she was single-minded, she could easily write out function problems that she couldn't figure out.Yan Hong was convinced by the speed of doing a problem at a glance, and thought about how many math problems he could do in a day if he did his homework at this person's speed?

Mu Yu said don't just watch me do it, look at the notes and think for yourself.

Yanhong hummed, hummed again, and then looked at Mu Yu's flamboyant writing on the test paper, and suddenly asked, "Did someone bite my tongue?"

The writing of the big star flamboyantly broke off with a snap, and a very long handwriting was drawn out.

Mu Yu's face was still calm and indifferent, but the roots of his ears turned red again.She sighed and urged, "If you think too much, don't be distracted."

"..."

Yan Hong didn't answer, she looked up, and found that the other party's eyebrows and mouth were half-smiling, looking at her delicately.

"..." Mu Yu stared at her speechlessly for a few seconds, his ears turned red, so he could only slowly return his gaze to the test paper. "Didn't you guess it all?"

Yanhong smiled and said, "It's because you are too obvious."

Mu Yu glared at her and said, "It's up to you."

"Okay." Without arguing with her, Yan Hong sighed helplessly when she looked away. "Sorry, I don't even remember."

"fine."

Having said that, Mu Yu put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the chair as if he had given up on himself, stared at the ceiling, thinking about something.Seeing that she looked like she was thinking about life, Yan Hong also groaned and looked down at the test paper.

A few minutes later, when Mu Yu sighed and sat up straight again, he saw that Yan Hong had already filled in the unfinished equations, and solved the function without any mistakes, with an innocent face read the next question.

"Wait." The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said helplessly, "Don't you know everything?"

And Yan Hong didn't deny it, she just stuck out her tongue at Mu Yu, and answered seriously. "I just said that my homework fell behind, I didn't say that I couldn't."

"... Isn't this a waste of my time?"

"But, you are the one who is going to give me tutoring."

"Wouldn't it be better to just refuse?" - I won't force it either.Mu Yu muttered.

Yan Hong didn't answer, but lay down on the table slowly and wrote the topic, and said, "Look at you, you are easy to be deceived, and you don't understand the atmosphere, what should you do if someone digs out the black material someday?"

Mu Yu said: "I'm sorry, I really haven't met a liar before."

"Uh, is that so?"

"However. I remembered something." Mu Yu said lightly, and Yan Hong followed her words and turned her head to look over. "It seems to me that I was born in that town."

"……Oh?"

Yan Hong raised her eyebrows, and then Mu Yu told her about the grayness in her vision at that time.When the child heard this, he was surprised and stared into her eyes.

Mu Yu guessed what she was going to say in the next second, and quickly waved his hands to hide. "It's nothing different now. It's just that it was weird then."

"No no no." Yan Hong shook her head vigorously. "Did you really see those things before?"

"Hmm..." Mu Yu seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, and finally nodded to explain. "I was born with open eyes, and I can see them since I was a child."

"after that……"

"I couldn't see it later. According to my parents, the eyes of the sky closed as I grew up."

Yan Hong frowned slightly, as if she didn't quite believe this statement, Mu Yu thought she was thinking about something very powerful, but in the next second, she heard the child talking to herself: "Why didn't I see it before?"

"How do I know, that's how it is anyway." He tapped the table with his knuckles, signaling Yan Hong to focus on his studies first, and Mu Yu flipped through the script by himself.

Mu Yu said that he didn't mind Yan Hong's outrageous behavior after being possessed, at most she was frightened.

Besides, Yan Hong couldn't figure out what the purpose of that thing was, possessing her body meant she had saved them from the water ghost, but her actions after that were more like trying to lure Mu Yu somewhere.It's just that now that person always says that she can't remember, and doesn't tell Yanhong what happened in the forest, so she can only guess by herself, and can't figure out the answer.

After the short tutoring session ended, Yan Hong sat on the sofa and fiddled with her new mobile phone, and briefly told Jian Xiangli what happened today through text messages.Mu Yu was watching the script from the sidelines. It is said that Shi Han will be the partner of the next TV series, and the news will be announced at tomorrow's press conference. It is estimated that the hot searches that night will be the names of the two of them again.

"I will join the film crew in about two days, you buy vegetables and cook by yourself." Mu Yu wrote notes on the script, and instructed Yan Hong without raising his head. "Don't you choke to death on the yam when I come back."

"...I don't like eating yams that much either." Yan Hong muttered, and after telling Yu Le and Yang Bai about changing her phone, she took a look on Weibo.

After refreshing her circle of friends, she was taken aback for a moment, and found that Yu Le had posted a post, probably lamenting that the autumn outing was over, but the accompanying picture was an exquisite tumbler.

There are not many places that sell tumblers in that small town, and such an exquisite Yanhong has only been seen at that street stall.

Before, she kept telling Yu Le not to buy it, but the young lady still couldn't resist buying it?Yan Hong sighed, thinking that the tumbler was actually a bluish-gray kid, she felt a little disgusted.

But how to remind Yu Le?She racked her brains and couldn't think of any good way, so she could only think about watching the situation change.Pulling to the comment area, apart from some nympho replies, Yan Hong suddenly saw Yang Bai also wrote a message.

—…You really still bought it.

There is something interesting about this sentence.Yan Hong raised her eyebrows, manually copying and pasting.

——You still bought it after all.

Reply.

"Mu Yu." While scrolling through Weibo, Yan Hong said boredly. "Have you noticed that there are fewer monsters around you recently?"

The big star took a sip of water, and gave her a sleepy look. "You ghost knows what I went through today."

That's right, after all, Yanhong herself has been possessed by various things, if it wasn't for Ziyu who engraved Jian Xiangli, she probably doesn't know where she is doing now.

"But, I have never encountered such a thing before." Yan Hong retorted. "It seems that I gradually became entangled after dealing with you."

"Oh, sorry."

"But you are really lucky. How can ordinary people survive every desperate situation?"

"Really?" Mu Yu paused for a while, this time unexpectedly pondered for a while, and then said again. "Well, I also feel lucky today."

"And why on earth can't you remember that you were born in that town?"

"Hmm..." Mu Yu seemed to be a little annoyed and closed her eyes. Yan Hong waited for a while but she didn't open her eyes. She was about to ask what's the matter, but saw the big star rubbing his brows, then swayed and almost fell down on the sofa .

Yan Hong was startled, and quickly asked: "Are you uncomfortable?" She turned her head and looked around, but she didn't see any ghosts or evildoers, and even said that Mu Yu's surroundings have been cleaned up a lot recently.

The other party opened his eyes and stood up. "I came back today with a fever. I'll go find some medicine."

"what?"

Seeing her casually strolling into the room, Yan Hong wanted to say, since she has a fever, why bother cooking, wouldn't it be good to order a takeaway?But in the blink of an eye, seeing the fish soup on the dining table, somehow my heart began to feel a little bit like a needle prick somewhere.

She was not very familiar with this feeling, and she was stunned when the pain spread, but she didn't react, but the phone vibrated at this moment.Looking down, he saw Jian Xiangli calling.

Yanhong told him about what Mu Yu experienced today, and she didn't expect to get an answer so quickly in the routine report.At this time, a phone call came and she didn't know what it was. She answered it suspiciously, but before she could say hello, the exorcist on the other end told her in a hurry: "I know that Mu Yu may be connected with something."

——To be honest, Yan Hong didn't have any expectations, but Jian Xiangli's words this time still made her a little nervous.

"You knew already?"

"I asked several elders in the family, and they all agreed that Mu Yu might have been influenced by some kind of monster." Jian Xiangli said. "Such as being injured, having contact with inner alchemy, becoming a host and so on."

Yanhong was a little confused, and muttered: "Does fighting in elementary school count?"

But the other party ignored her complaints, and continued to explain: "What monsters see is different from us, and they are more sensitive to life and heat. Among them..." He paused, and suddenly asked: "Do you know thermal receptors?"

"Ah, you mean snake?"

"That's right. Among them, snakes can be said to be one of the most sensitive species."

"But..." Yan Hong frowned, and glanced at Mu Yu's room. "Could it be that you want to say that Mu Yu may have something to do with snakes?"

"You can't be so arbitrary." Jian Xiangli hummed, and after a moment of silence, he suggested: "Isn't it autumn recently? The weather has turned cold, you can pay attention to her for any strange changes, such as lethargy."

The exorcist was probably talking about snakes hibernating, Yan Hong thought about it for a while, not to mention Mu Yu, she herself is also a person who is naturally sleepy in winter, whether this can be used as evidence is hard to say.But then she suddenly frowned again. "Speaking of which, Mu Yu has a fever."

"fever……"

"I guess he was too tired to catch a cold."

The exorcist at the other end said something to someone, and the signal was not very good, so Yan Hong walked a few steps towards the balcony.The bustling neon lights of the city outside are better than the stars in the sky.

The weather turned cold and the wind was a bit cold. She shivered and hurried back into the house.

"Wait!" Jian Xiangli called her suddenly.

Yan Hong was taken aback, and just about to ask what's the matter, she saw Mu Yu had walked out of the room at some point, leaning against the wall, looking at herself lazily.

"Muyu...huh?" Yan Hong was startled, but saw the man's feet softened and he squatted on the floor.

She ran over quickly.But the exorcist in the ear issued a warning: "Don't go near her! Mu Yu probably—"

Yan Hong didn't hear the second half of the sentence, because when she subconsciously stopped, she felt a pain in her wrist, and her phone slapped aside.In the blink of an eye, Mu Yu threw her onto the sofa and pushed her up.

Those eyes, which were originally pale in color, are now surprisingly yellow-orange snake pupils, shimmering like gilt gold like a firefly.

"What the hell!" Yan Hong stretched out her hand to push it away, but Mu Yu bit her lip with a cold face, prying open his teeth as if in revenge.

Yan Hong wanted to bite her tongue, but at that moment, she remembered the pain on the tip of her tongue, trembled slightly and did not make any resistance.

—— Then he turned his hand to touch his own glass on the coffee table, and knocked it down on Mu Yu's head.
