Soling Internet Cafe

It was drizzling outside, Xie Rujian was sitting in his room with something in front of him.

It was a compass the size of an adult's palm, and it was Guanxuangui, but compared with the one that Granny Huai had just handed over to Xie Rujian, the one in front of me looked lifeless. Not only was the copper rust all over the surface of the compass, but all the writing was gone. Clear, the eyes at the center that looked very agile had lost their brilliance and turned into a piece of black scrap iron.

The last usable Guanxuan dial was also scrapped.

Although such a result was expected before departure, even though Xie Rujian has not regretted it until now, because he not only found out Chu Lingya's life experience through Guan Xuandial, but also unexpectedly discovered that the two had a long history. But he was lost in thought because of an unexpected discovery.

It would be great if I could use it once more. This time, I can see clearly whether the quick glance was an illusion, but this is destined to be something he can't do now, unless he takes the things that belonged to him from Chu Lingya again. To take back the Mysterious Eye, and doing so will not only hurt Chu Lingya, but with his current situation, he may not be able to display his normal strength.

But is that an illusion?

Xie Rujian couldn't help searching his memory again. The impression was so thin that it didn't attract his attention at all at first. It wasn't until he completely retrieved the memory that he had banned 300 years ago that he realized what happened in Guangyang. There is still an unresolved doubt in it.The disappearance of Jiang Xinbai's body is a suspicious point. What is even more disturbing is that Xie Rujian vaguely sees it in the corner of his memory, in the chaotic scene where Qu Xiaohe and Hua Yin tried their best to escape Guangyang Ghost City. Arrived at a familiar figure.

Like...Jiang Xinbai.

There was the sound of chirping birds from outside the window, and a silver light came in from the window and landed on Xie Rujian's hand.It was still the letter bird, Xie Rujian took a piece of paper from the bird, and after hastily reading it, he frowned.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

The bird transformed by mana didn't know what happened, it only had the instinct to obey orders, but it was born to be close to Xie Rujian.At this time, as if it sensed Xie Rujian's bad mood, it uttered a series of wonderful bird songs from its mouth, and flapped its wings scattered with light debris, as if it wanted to make Xie Rujian happy.

"Are you even worried about me?" Xie Rujian stretched out his fingers and gently touched Xiaoniao's head, and the latter rubbed his fingers on his own initiative, looking very comfortable.

"Forget it," Xie Rujian thought, "Perhaps he was really wrong. Besides, Chu Lingya is back, and it's time for him to fulfill his promise." The little bird turned into a delicate silver bracelet and returned to his wrist.He picked up the piece of paper brought back by the little bird just now and gently lifted it, a dark red light appeared on the piece of paper, and then it disappeared quickly as if it had been burned by high temperature. Xie Rujian threw the burning paper into the In the censer that was emitting green smoke, there was only one line of characters left on it: "Jiang Xinbai, born in 189 AD, died in 220..."

Then, even that column of words disappeared completely.

……

"Brother Chu, where have you been? We've been here several times and we haven't seen the Internet cafe open. I thought you guys weren't doing it."

"That's right, it's driving me to death. You know I'm a serious addict of your special milk tea!"

As soon as Xie Rujian arrived in the front hall, he heard the jingling music and people's relaxed and happy conversation. Two fashionable young girls were sitting at the bar and were busy flirting with Chu Lingya, while the latter was smiling. Answering one by one, and responding appropriately, the girls laughed from time to time.

"Brother Rujian!" Almost as soon as Xie Rujian appeared, Chu Lingya noticed it and looked over quickly.

After nearly a month of recuperation, Chu Lingya can't see any problems at all now, except that his eyes seem to have become brighter and his body has lost weight.Xie Guan and the others also knew that Chu Lingya had returned, so naturally there were great doubts about his resurrection from the dead, but the person concerned refused to say it, and with Xie Rujian escorting him, this secret became a mutual tacit understanding. The facts were hastily turned.

Xie Rujian now naturally understood the secret of Chu Lingya's immortality, and Chu Lingya was not human either.

This is of course not a curse, but a factual description.

Chu Lingya's identity is really special. His biological father is Chu Huayin, a half-human, half-ghost existence who swallowed the Great Ghost Pill, and his biological mother is Qu Xiaohe. Many people were encircled and almost died, and they barely breathed a sigh of relief by hiding in the ghost city of Guangyang, and forcibly saved Chu Lingya's life.

The speed and method of time passing in Ghost City are different from those in the outside world. It took Qu Xiaohe nearly ten years to give birth to Chu Lingya, which is no longer the category of ordinary babies.Afterwards, in order for Chu Lingya to grow up smoothly, Xie Rujian took him randomly through more than 1000 years and threw him into the modern society, which constituted another level of difficulty in identifying his identity. He is a black household with no date of birth, month and death, and at the same time, a special existence with non-human and non-ghost blood inherited from Huayin flowing in his veins—no wonder his blood is both tonic and poison for ghosts, and he also got If you really want to find an adjective for the Mysterious Eye bestowed by Xie Rujian, the male protagonists in the popular martial arts novels of the last century are basically like this.

As soon as Chu Lingya called out "Brother Rujian", several female customers in the internet cafe giggled, as if they had reached some tacit consensus.Although Xie Rujian felt that the way they looked at him was a bit strange, he didn't care.

"Xiao Chu..." He thought for a while, but still waved to Chu Lingya.

"Brother Rujian, what can I do?" As soon as Chu Lingya was able to move around, he came to the Internet cafe to work. The small building refused to move back to the dormitory.Xie Rujian knew that this guy was acting like a spoiled child, but he still acquiesced in this "presumptuous" behavior.

Chu Lingya almost died protecting him!Every time Xie Rujian thinks of this, he still feels unhappy in his heart, and then his thoughts will involuntarily drift to the kiss they brought because they were attached to Huayin and Qu Xiaohe in the historical time.

If Xie Rujian was still inexplicably liking Chu Lingya over and over again before, but after this incident, he no longer doubted it.He just felt a little at a loss, why would anyone like him?

"Brother Rujian?"

Xie Rujian came back to his senses and said, "Go to the official account and post an announcement at the door, saying that we will have a day off tomorrow."

"Rest?" Chu Lingya was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to rest? Is there any important thing to do?"

Xie Rujian looked at him, the corners of the young man's lips were naturally raised slightly, and he always smiled when looking at him, his eyes were extremely sincere.Xie Rujian said: "Forget what I promised you, as long as you wake up, I will date you."

Chu Lingya: "..."

The guests who were sitting close to each other listened, and several of them almost spilled their drinks. The two girls who were sitting at the counter who were flirting with Chu Lingya just now covered their mouths with excitement, "I'm so drunk!" Really" excitement!

Xie Rujian saw that Chu Lingya was still standing there with a dazed expression, and couldn't help being a little amused: "Five, four..."

Chu Lingya jumped up: "I'll do it right away, Brother Rujian, you keep your word, don't cancel the promise!" Then he rushed back to the room to make an announcement.

Although it was still raining outside, there was no sense of melancholy anymore. Xie Rujian thought of tomorrow, and his mood rarely became clearer.

……

Early the next morning, while Xie Rujian was still lying in bed, the sound of pattering footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Xie Rujian didn't intend to pay attention at first, but the sound of footsteps was right in front of his room door, from left to right, right to left, without stopping.Xie Rujian opened his eyes in pain, got up and opened the door: "Who...Ah Choo!"

Chu Lingya, dressed in formal attire, stood at Xie Rujian's door holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Her hair was neatly combed, and she was sprayed with cologne that was extremely coquettish. Her neckline was white and her shoes were shiny. How long have you been standing at the door.Seeing Xie Rujian coming out, Chu Lingya was flustered, and at last she didn't know what to think, and said loudly with both feet: "Good morning, Brother Rujian!"

Xie Rujian: "..."

Seeing that Xie Rujian remained silent, Chu Lingya immediately became more nervous, and looked at himself uneasily, probably trying to find out what was wrong with him.Baihu walked over, probably thinking that Chu Lingya was being silly, so he deliberately walked up to him and stepped on him.

Chu Lingya: "My shoes!!!"

Xie Rujian: "Pfft." Looking at Chu Lingya's appearance, Xie Rujian's heart suddenly softened, as if he had been patted lightly by the fluffy paw of a little milk dog.

"Morning." Xie Rujian said, "Wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."

"Okay, okay." Chu Lingya stammered, "Go out early...I mean, let's go out for breakfast, I found a shop for morning tea..." He paused here, as if he was a little worried The meaning of self-assessment, when he spoke again, he was a little cautious: "Brother Rujian, are you willing to go out to eat? If not, I will cook now. Do you want to eat Chinese style or Western style?"

Xie Rujian was picking up clothes. Because he was poor, his closet was full of improved Tang suits that were sold to middle-aged and elderly people at the night market outside. It was not for other reasons, firstly, it was cheap, and secondly, the fabric was loose and comfortable, which was especially suitable for his long-term needs. Salted fish serving his sentence, but this time he hesitated.After thinking about it, he took out the only set of modern clothes in the closet and changed into them. It was bought online temporarily when he went out to do a mission for the underworld in order to avoid attracting attention. The styles were all chosen randomly.

Chu Lingya was stunned when he saw Xie Rujian walking out in a T-shirt and cropped trousers.He knew that his brother Ru Jian was good-looking, but he always had a dignified and inviolable air in the past.Xie Rujian is not a mountain with ice and snow, his alienation is not so obvious externally, but it will make you feel unconsciously, like a deep blue pool in a deep valley, it is extremely beautiful, but when people look at it for a long time, The more worried his soul would be lost in it, the more he retreated subconsciously.However, now that he has put on modern clothes, he seems to be a lot closer invisibly, as if a celestial being has finally set his foot on the land of mortals.

"You can eat whatever you want, it's up to you." Xie Rujian said, seeing that Chu Lingya didn't move, he felt a little guilty, "What are you looking at?" He thought quickly, yes, hair.

Xie Rujian stretched out his hand to brush the back of his head, and the reddish long hair that reached his waist turned into refreshing short black hair.

"Will this be better?" He asked not very confidently, "I see that your friend Chang Yuxin is dressed like this, Chu Lingya?"

Chu Lingya was in a daze: "Huh?"

Xie Rujian: "...You have a nosebleed."

Chu Lingya: "!!!"

After a while of flying around, the two finally went out together.

Chu Lingya had already changed the formal suit on him. He didn't want to be seen as Xie Rujian's old-fashioned elder brother when the two of them went out on the street. Really... Xie Rujian looked so small in modern casual clothes !

Chu Lingya secretly went to see Xie Rujian who was beside him. Although he probably knew that Xie Rujian was younger than him now when the incident happened in Guanxuan Palace 800 years ago, it was the first time that he felt it so intuitively. .

As soon as Xie Rujian walked on the street, he attracted the attention of many people, both men and women.He has a fair complexion and a clear temperament. The clothes on his body are white and gray-blue, which are refreshing.Especially after the hair became shorter, his face was exposed more clearly. Although there were thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, which blocked his beautiful eyes, he still stood out from the crowd.

After dismissing the fifth person who came up to ask for contact information, Chu Lingya really regretted it.Why go out on a date, he just wants to hide Xie Rujian now!

"What's wrong?" Xie Rujian was completely unaware of the purpose of those men and women who came to ask for his contact information, but felt a little puzzled.He is a criminal with a natural evil spirit. In the past, people or ghosts would stay away from him when they saw him. Why do so many people come up to ask for directions and ask for a phone number when they go out today?

Xie Rujian felt that it was probably because of Chu Lingya, this guy could always easily win people's favor, even he himself was no exception.

In fact, it's been almost four months, but Xie Rujian felt that Chu Lingya seemed to have become a part of his life. He was used to getting up every morning and the person cooked breakfast and lunch for him, and it was the same every day. Not heavy; I am used to him taking care of everything in Internet cafes for himself, such as seasonal promotions and live broadcasts, so that he gradually saves money on hand; I am used to him quietly renovating the menu and buying bits and pieces , on special festivals, I dress up the store beautifully; I am used to having him by my side on the way to the ghost prison every night, even the sound of shackles and chains that represent resentment and vicious resentment becomes much more peaceful; As long as Xie Rujian turned around, he was always there, and it seemed that as long as Chu Lingya was there, everything could be solved, everything would be fine!

In the end, Xie Rujian remembered the first time he saw Chu Lingya 300 years ago, the child who was born without eyes stretched out his small hands and tried to grab his fingers and the skirt of his clothes, as if he recognized Chu Lingya at a glance. I will be his reliance, it seems that in the blink of an eye, he has become a grown man.

But now, this grown man said affectionately: "Brother Rujian, I like you..."

It turned out that Chu Lingya hadn't lied from the very beginning, and he had maintained this same love since he was a child.If this is fate, perhaps there is really no more wonderful and beautiful fate than this.

"Brother Rujian, brother Rujian?"

Xie Ru gradually came back to his senses and saw Chu Lingya looking at him nervously.

"what happened?"

"Brother Rujian, are you not used to going out on the street? Why don't we go back and date at home, and I'll cook something delicious for you!" Chu Lingya said. He knew that Xie Rujian didn't like excitement, so He specially chose a weekday to go out on a date, who would have thought that there were still so many people who came to chat up his brother Ru Jian, Chu Lingya was almost furious!

Home...?Xie Rujian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the ice and snow in a corner of his heart had silently melted into cool sweet water.

It has been 800 years, and Xie Rujian has never felt that Changle Ghost Prison is a home. Just like what he said to Chu Lingya before, it is just a place where he has to stay and cannot leave. If so, why not for him?But because of Chu Lingya, everything seemed to be different.

"No, it's fine as it is now." Xie Rujian said

"Handsome guy, could you please leave your contact information, we can have a meal together if you have time..." Another person came up to strike up a conversation, Chu Lingya was about to stop her, but she felt Xie Rujian tug him.

"No." Xie Rujian said, and took the initiative to hold Chu Lingya's hand, "We're dating, we're a little busy."

"Oh, oh...Okay." The accuser was stunned for a moment, and walked away in despair, but Chu Lingya was still in place, as if he hadn't reacted.

"Why are you standing there, where should we go for breakfast?" Xie Rujian asked.

Chu Lingya finally came to his senses, he seemed to have managed to calm down, but his face was still flushed red: "Go, go to the front, there is a small shop on the corner of the street, it's small, but it's delicious, many people recommend it! "

"Okay, then go there." Xie Rujian said with a smile.

It has been 800 years, and Xie Rujian has never been in touch with him before, and maybe he still doesn't understand what love is, but he knows that he wants to make Chu Lingya happy from the bottom of his heart, if his liking can make Chu Lingya happy , then he likes Chu Lingya!
