The Taste of Ghosts in the World

The light rain outside the window was pattering non-stop, Qi Mu stretched his neck and looked out, it was all gray.

"It's the rainy season again so soon..." He slid down again and curled up on the sofa as he muttered.

A melancholy uncle ghost floated beside the sofa.

"Hey, tell me, why hasn't my daughter come back when it's raining?" the uncle asked Qi Mu.

"Hasn't she been in love recently? Of course she doesn't have time to come back."

The uncle ghost was very aggrieved, and complained: "Ever since my daughter started dating, she won't go out with me..."

Qi Mu thought for a while, "Why don't you talk about it too?"

He immediately felt embarrassed, his old face was dark and red, "I'm getting old, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't Twilight Love very popular now?"

"Ouch, who can look up to me! Don't be kidding!" He waved his hands in fright, took out the lipstick left by his wife, and floated to the corner to see things and think about others.

Qi Mu lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand. As he watched, his body gradually tilted to the side, leaning against Feng Baisui who was watching TV.The latter's movement of turning the stage stopped immediately, turned his eyes to look at him, then turned back, maintaining the previous state as if nothing had happened.

Five minutes later, Qi Mu looked up at him, "I won't dislike you."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It's been a long time since you watched this..." He pointed to the TV screen, which was full of advertisements for a certain breast enhancement product in turn.

"..." Feng Baisui's face darkened, he switched the remote control to the other hand, turned the channel, and explained by the way: "I'm waiting for the next TV series."

"Don't mind, actually I don't like big breasts." Qi Mu patted him with a suppressed smile on his face.

At this time Qi Buyang came out from the guest room, sat on another sofa, saw the uncle ghost in the corner, and asked: "He, and the female ghost who turned around, are they your relatives?"

"No." Qi Mu turned a page of the book without raising his head.

"Then why is it at your house?"

"Fate...you should be a friend who lives on loan."

Qi Buyang saw him and Feng Baisui leaning together, and asked casually: "Then are you also friends?"

Qi Mu put down the book and looked at him, "Is it strange?"

"I used to think you were friends... Recently, I feel that you are a little different from friends..."

Qi Mu looked at Feng Baisui, his eyes seemed to be asking, should I say it or not?

Feng Baisui raised his eyebrows, what can't he say?

"Okay..." Qi Mu told Qi Buyang, "Actually, we are cohabitants."

"Ah, no wonder you sleep together." Qi Buyang nodded and asked again: "But can ghosts still sleep?"

"Why not, just lie down and close your eyes."

"..." Feng Baisui stretched out his arms to embrace Qi Mu, and said to Qi Buyang, "If I say I'm a lover, do you believe it or not?"

Qi Buyang opened his mouth wide, and after a long pause, he pointed at Qi Mu and said, "I'll believe what he says."

Qi Mu looked at him and nodded naturally.

Qi Buyang's jaw didn't close for a long time, "Could it be that you... are..." He originally wanted to talk about homosexuality, but thought that the more serious problem than homosexuality was the relationship between humans and ghosts, but what he hesitated for a long time was: "Are you kidding me? "

Qi Mu laughed, just said: "You guess." Then he continued to read his book as if nothing happened, and Feng Baisui didn't express anything else.

Qi Buyang struggled alone on the edge of shock and whether he should believe it or not.

When it was almost noon, the decapitated female ghost came back, throwing her head happily.

"Are you on a date?" Qi Mu asked.

"Yes." The female ghost had a smile on her face, "How are you two doing?"

"It's okay, but it's easy to scare people." He pointed at Qi Buyang.

The female ghost floated over, raised her head in front of Qi Buyang to look at it, "This kid looks familiar."

"It's that little celestial master, I don't know if you still remember."

"Tianshi? Why is Tianshi with you?" She was not afraid, and approached Qi Buyang and asked, "Have you abandoned darkness for light?"

Qi Buyang frowned uncomfortably, and took a step back.

The female ghost followed up persistently, "Wouldn't it be strange for a celestial master to see so many ghosts in this house? Or have you also taken a fancy to our house?"

"Don't, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Buyang blushed and scolded her angrily, stuttering.

"He's thin-skinned, don't tease him." Qi Mu was helping Qi Buyang to speak.

The female ghost turned to Qi Mu and said, "It's because you are always like this that some weird people like you. Why don't girls like you?"

"...how do you know no girls like me."

"Who is it?"

Qi Mu thought for a while, then said without confidence: "...It's just that I'm relatively young."

"You can just say that the child is not good enough." The female ghost said angrily: "I'm surprised, why did you bring the boy home?"

Over there, Feng Baisui suddenly changed the channel and snorted lightly.

The female ghost asked, "What do you mean?"

He replied, "I agree with what you said."

Qi Mu: "... If I bring the girl home, wouldn't it be great?"

"If you bring a girl, I'll scare her to death. It's enough to have a girl like me in this house." The female ghost shook her head arrogantly.

"..." Qi Mu felt that he couldn't continue to entangle on this, so he changed the subject: "You always talk about falling in love, when will you let us meet your boyfriend?"

"Okay, I wanted him to visit my dad a long time ago!" Speaking of her boyfriend, the female ghost became sweet again.

"You lie~~~" His father interjected aggrievedly.

"Who lied to you!" The female ghost turned around and floated out, "You wait, I'll go find him now."

So, a woman (ghost?) in love cannot be excited.

Not long after, she did come back with her boyfriend.

"Come in, what are you afraid of?" the female ghost turned her head and urged, and then another figure passed through the door and entered the house.

"Hello..."

Everyone looked at this male ghost together. He had short hair and looked very sunny, but there was a deep scar on his forehead, and it was still bleeding.

"This is A Ming, my boyfriend." The female ghost introduced generously, then pointed to the uncle who killed the ghost and said to him, "That's my father."

Pointing to Qi Mu again: "This is my landlord, he is not bad."

"That," she pointed at Feng Baisui, "is my landlord's boyfriend, just say hello, don't talk to him."

"why?"

"He will bully you."

Feng Baisui was speechless, but the "boyfriend" she mentioned was quite to his liking.

At this time, A Ming came to his senses, and asked with a look of astonishment: "You just said...that man, is your male landlord's...boyfriend?"

The female ghost nodded, "What's so strange?"

Seeing her take it for granted, A Ming could only say: "No." But he asked Qi Mu: "You are a ghost, why do you still have a house?"

Qi Mu smiled, "I am a living person."

Amin's eyes widened, "Can you see us?!"

"He can still touch you!" The female ghost thought he was too wordy, so she interrupted before Qi Mu could answer, and turned to Qi Buyang, "And this one, I'm not very familiar with it, anyway, it's a little celestial master, it's fun Yes, but stay away from him."

"Tianshi?" A Ming looked at Qi Buyang and was stunned for a moment, "You..."

Qi Buyang was puzzled, "What?"

"Nothing." Amin waved his hand quickly.

Qi Mu pointed to the blood on his forehead, "That...doesn't matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Amin said, and wiped it with his hands.

"...seems to be bleeding..."

Amin smiled, "This is more dynamic."

"..."

A pleasant meeting ended like this. The female ghost sent A Ming out, and it took a long time to turn back. The uncle who killed the ghost hurriedly took his daughter to the corner to whisper.

"Girl, the boyfriend you found...is not very good."

"What's not good?" The female ghost was very upset, "What's wrong with him?"

"This..." The uncle thought for a long time, and then said: "Looks are not good, look, they are not as good-looking as the two at home." He secretly pointed to Qi Mu and Feng Baisui on the other side of the sofa. Even that little celestial master is prettier than him."

The female ghost patted his father's shoulder, "Men... don't look at their looks, Dad, you are too superficial, look at yourself, and you don't look good." After she finished speaking, she floated away.

"This child..." The uncle rubbed his hands anxiously on the spot.

Qi Mu turned to look at him, and said to Feng Baisui: "Sure enough, no matter how good the son-in-law is, won't the father-in-law be satisfied? I think that A Ming is pretty good."

Qi Buyang interjected, "That Ah Ming, why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere?"

Qi Mu thought for a while and asked him, "In your eyes, do ghosts all look the same?"

"How is it possible!" Qi Buyang stared.

Feng Baisui next to him was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Qi Mu, "Will your father be satisfied with me?"

"..." Qi Mu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Don't think too much."

Although the weather is bad, I still have to go to school.

When school was over, a few muffled thunders suddenly sounded in the always gloomy sky, and after a while, sporadic raindrops fell, Qi Mu hastened his pace to go home.

Passing Longhu Square, he saw a red figure standing in the rain from a distance.Due to the rain, there are not many people in the square now, and even if there are passers-by rushing past, the red shadow is particularly eye-catching.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a woman in a red cheongsam with an elegant bun and a black umbrella in her hand.

It's just that the edge of the umbrella is tilted, and it seems to overlap with the plants next to it.

Qi Mu wiped the rainwater off his face, and looked again, it was indeed overlapping.So he lowered his head and walked past her silently.

It was the woman who stopped him, "Can you see me?"

Qi Mu stopped, a little embarrassed, after all he wanted to pretend not to see.

"Sorry, just now..."

"It's raining." Before he finished speaking, the woman said softly, without thinking.

"Ok?"

She smiled at Qi Mu, her lipsticked lips looked more and more beautiful: "You didn't bring an umbrella, did you? Here's this one for you." She put away the umbrella in her hand and handed it over.

"But you also..."

"The rain won't catch me." The woman comforted him, and opened her arms to let him see clearly the way the rain passed through her body.

Qi Mu couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he took her umbrella, said "thank you", and asked, "Why are you standing here? Aren't you sheltering from the rain?"

The woman smiled at him, and he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, how could she need shelter from the rain.

"Actually... I'm waiting for someone, a living person."

"That person can also see ghosts?"

She shook her head, "I don't think so."

Qi Mu was puzzled, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"It was my former lover. At that time, he went abroad for three years and made an appointment with me to meet here on the day he came back. He wanted to wear his favorite clothes. This is it. Does it look good?"

Qi Mu shifted his gaze to her cheongsam, the woman is very beautiful, the vermilion satin against her fair complexion makes her look even more attractive, such a woman will definitely get enough flowers and applause, if she is not dead...

He nodded honestly, "Very nice."

"Thank you." She smiled, lowered her head and carefully smoothed the folds on the cheongsam, "It's a pity he didn't see that I died in a car accident on the way here... It was the same weather that day, with light rain, so every day When it rains these days, I will come and have a look.”

"Want to see that person?"

She nodded softly, "Although I told myself that I just came here to remember him and he won't come, I always hope that one day, he will suddenly remember this agreement and come over to have a look..."

After talking for a while, the rain became heavier again. The woman looked up at the sky and urged, "Go back quickly."

Qi Mu nodded, "Will you still be here tomorrow?"

"If it rains it will be."

"Then I'll return the umbrella to you tomorrow."

Qi Mu ran away and looked back at her, the woman smiled and waved her hands.
