The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Being pulled into the house by Feng Baisui, Qi Mu's face was full of doubts. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out how he came back.

"Isn't the bottle broken?"

"I came out before it shattered."

"What is it..."

"Peach pits, and your soul." Feng Baisui looked at him with a serious face, "Who told you to share the soul with me? What if I don't come back, and you also leave the soul?"

"Anyway, you're back too." Qi Mu shrugged, suddenly raised his head and leaned forward, kissed him on the lips, and said with a smile, "Welcome back."

"..."

Feng Baisui was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab him back and kissed him again before letting go in satisfaction.

"Let's go, let's go to old man Zhang." Qi Mu turned and walked towards the door.

"Why go?"

"I broke his bottle, and you're back, so you have to say something."

Feng Baisui curled his lips and floated to his side.

"How's life in a bottle?"

"Boring... Where did the peach pit come from?"

"Given by an unknown person..." Qi Mu explained: "My dad had a dream and he had it when he woke up. Who do you think gave him the peach pit?"

"Whoever he is, he's gone anyway, I'll talk about it when he asks you for it..." Feng Baisui paused, the corners of his mouth froze, "Your dad is back?"

"Gone again."

Feng Baisui's eyes were a little displeased, "You didn't introduce me?"

Qi Mu chuckled, "Introduction."

"What did you say?"

"Uh..." He was embarrassed to tell Feng Baisui the exact words, hesitated for a while, and said vaguely: "He knows."

Feng Baisui didn't continue to press, but just asked him: "What did your father say?"

"He said he looked forward to seeing you in human form next time."

"...Did you show him the bottle?"

Seeing his sullen expression, Qi Mu found it very satisfying, spread his hands and said, "What's the matter? It's more real to let him see you in your worst state."

"It's enough for you to know the truth, your dad only needs to see the most perfect me."

Qi Mu pouted, "...that's really dishonest..."

"You don't need to be honest with others." Feng Baisui said expressionlessly, "At least I never lied to you."

"You're trying to lie to my dad..."

Feng Baisui raised his eyebrows, "I'm with you, not your father."

"..."

While they were talking, they turned into Yuanzi Lane where old man Zhang was. Qi Mu began to notice something was wrong, and turned around to ask Feng Baisui, "Do you feel that someone is following us?"

Feng Baisui glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and said without turning his head, "It's just a brat."

Qi Mu turned his head, and there was a ghost stuck on the wall a few steps away from them. It was not easy to be found, but he stuck his head out, and looked from a distance, as if a tumor had grown on the wall.

Smiling, Qi Mu decided to ignore it, turned around and continued walking.

But that kid obviously followed them, and kept wandering behind them.

Feng Baisui was impatient, so he stopped and asked Qi Mu: "Did I have these things when I wasn't around?"

Qi Mu thought for a while and replied, "I don't know, I don't have time to pay attention."

The kid behind him didn't expect them to stop suddenly, and almost bumped into Feng Baisui's back, braked the car urgently, and retreated back in a flash.

Qi Mu is in a good mood now and finds him very interesting, so he simply turns around and walks towards him.

The ghost was leaning against the wall, trying to assume the posture of a thinker. When he saw him approaching, he rolled up his eyes for a look, then turned back quickly, pretending not to see it.

Qi Mu smiled secretly and reminded him: "You don't look like this, you wear too many clothes."

The ghost pretended to be deep and said, "I'm not thinking about what clothes to wear."

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"Well... I'm thinking about whether to follow you."

Feng Baisui clasped his hands impatiently, "You are already following him."

"Okay..." He wasn't embarrassed at all, he stood up straight naturally, and put on a serious expression, "Since you have seen through, I'll just say it directly. Actually, I have some troubles."

Feng Baisui immediately turned dark, "Your troubles are none of our business."

"I'm not looking for you." The ghost pointed at Qi Mu, "I'm looking for him."

Qi Mu was surprised, "You know me?"

"Of course," he said, "you're famous around here, everyone knows you."

"..."

"Since you can see me, why don't you listen to my troubles?"

"I'm not a counselor." Qi Mu told him, "Besides, counselors also charge fees."

The ghost immediately retorted: "No! Those who support the disaster area will not be charged!"

Qi Mu said helplessly, "...I'm not a volunteer."

"I just... want you to give me advice."

"Tell me what's going on first."

He suddenly became coy, "I like... a person."

"May all of you soulmates get married in the end."

"No, no..." He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Still in unrequited love."

"Then?"

"I dare not confess..." He slumped his shoulders dejectedly.

"You don't want me to confess for you, do you?"

He nodded.

Before Qi Mu could reply, Feng Baisui said, "He won't do this kind of thing."

"Oh, it's nearby, will you die if you say it casually?"

"Then you will die if you say it casually?"

"I'm dead." He explained with a blushing face.

"...What does that shy expression of yours mean..."

The ghost floated up and down and begged: "Do me a favor, it's really just on the way."

Feng Baisui pulled Qi Mu to leave.

"I can't get rid of him." Qi Mu pointed to the back, and the ghost continued to follow persistently.

Feng Baisui's face was unkind, Qi Mu turned back and asked, "Where is the person you like?"

"There!" He pointed out, and it turned out to be old man Zhang's shop.

"……inside?"

He nodded.

The first thing that popped up in Qi Mu's mind was old man Zhang's old face, and he felt that it was really creepy, so he quickly shook his head.

Maybe the old man took in a female ghost recently, Qi Mu comforted himself while walking towards that shop.

When they got to the door, they saw Qi Buyang sitting inside.

Qi Mu suddenly stopped walking in, stretched out his finger and pointed at old man Zhang with difficulty, "You mean...is this?"

The ghost shyly hid behind him, stuck out his eyes for a while, then retracted, shaking his head again and again, "No, no, it's young."

Qi Mu looked at Qi Buyang with a troubled expression on his face, "If this is the case... his grandfather may not agree."

"He still has a grandfather?"

At this time, Qi Buyang found Qi Mu at the door and Feng Baisui beside him, and walked over in surprise: "Successful?"

Qi Mu nodded, walked into the store and said to old man Zhang: "I accidentally broke the Soul Gathering Bottle, do you want to pay for it?"

Seeing Feng Baisui, old man Zhang also had a strange expression on his face, he shook his beard, and said, "I never thought that this old man could see such a miracle in this life, it's really amazing! ... But the soul-gathering bottle is something I have kept privately for many years. Baby, there is only one like this, it's a pity, a pity..."

"I'll pay for it." Qi Buyang stood up and said, "The Qi family happens to have one, and I'll send it over tomorrow."

Qi Mu was puzzled, "Your grandfather..."

"Grandpa has retired, and now the Qi family is in charge of me." He turned to Feng Baisui and bowed seriously, "This matter is Grandpa's fault, I apologize to you on his behalf, if there is anything the Qi family can help in the future If we are busy, we will definitely die.”

Feng Baisui opened his eyes and did not speak.Qi Buyang looked ashamed, and said: "I dare not ask you to forgive the Qi family, but... Grandpa is old, let me take care of everything."

"Basically, I have revenge." Feng Baisui said casually: "The process of repairing the soul is very slow. At that time, I thought that once I came out, I would never let the old man go, at least I would beat him up thoroughly. pause."

Qi Buyang nodded and said without hesitation: "You beat me up."

Seeing his generous expression, Feng Baisui folded his hands in disdain, "I'm not interested in beating children."

Qi Mu thought it was funny, stepped forward and said to Qi Buyang: "It's your grandfather's fault, it's none of your business."

"But……"

Knowing what he was going to say, Qi Mu interrupted him, and said flatly: "If Feng Baisui really can't come back, I might hate him, but now that the matter is fixed, I don't have any feelings for your grandfather, but he is here In my heart, I have always been a stubborn and self-righteous old man, and I will try to avoid dealing with him."

Having said that, he smiled and patted Qi Buyang on the shoulder, "It's not easy to be in charge, so please do your best."

"...Will you help me?" Qi Buyang asked in a low voice.

"It depends." Qi Mu smiled and waved his hands, turned and walked out, and then saw the ghost hiding outside the door.

"Why don't you go in?"

"I'm sorry..." He floated over and asked, "Did you say it?"

Qi Mu was silent for a while, "... I forgot." Seeing his quickly slumped face, he comforted him again: "There are still many opportunities, and I will definitely tell him next time."

"Okay..." The ghost floated beside them dejectedly, the more he thought about it, the more pessimistic he became, "He doesn't even know who I am...he won't accept me."

"Then don't tell him." Qi Mu said bluntly, "How about trying to like someone else?"

"I just like him! Why should I like someone else?"

"Think about it..." Qi Mu analyzed it to him, "You... are of different types, and he is still a man. The point is, you are also a man..."

"You discriminate against me!"

"……I do not have."

The ghost flew around them twice, protesting: "What's wrong with the species? What's wrong with the gender? You two are still not the same!"

"Unless you can put yourself back together after your soul is scattered." Feng Baisui said coolly from the side.

"..."

The ghost floated down slowly, and continued to hang its head down.

Because of him, Qi Mu had to go to old man Zhang's shop the next day, but Qi Buyang was not there.

"The person you like is not here, do you want to wait for him here?"

"Who said he wasn't there? He's right there!" The ghost pointed to Jiang Xiaoyue who was floating around in the store.

Qi Mu finally realized, "You like him?!"

"Yes."

"...he is a ghost, not a human being."

The ghost watched it carefully for a long time, and suddenly realized: "So it's a ghost, no wonder he can fly!"

This is obviously a good thing...

While complaining, Qi Mu called Jiang Xiaoyue off.

"A ghost likes you."

"Really? Is there a ghost who likes me?" Jiang Xiaoyue opened his already big eyes, looking very happy, "Who is it?"

"This one." Qi Mu pointed behind him, Jiang Xiaoyue poked his head to look suspiciously, only then did he realize that the ghost shrank back behind him again.

"You come out, how can you confess if you don't come out?"

"...I'll be shy" His inaudible voice floated from behind.

Qi Mu thought for a while, then took a neat step to the side, and the ghost was clearly exposed to Jiang Xiaoyue's eyes.

"Is that him?" Jiang Xiaoyue walked around him a few times.

The ghost buried his head coyly, not daring to look at him.

Qi Mu had no choice but to convey for him: "He said he likes you very much."

"Really? I'm not good-looking, but he still likes me, I'm so happy!"

"No, no, no..." The ghost waved his hands anxiously, unable to hold back a word for a long time, so he looked at Qi Mu for help.

"He said you are beautiful and cute, he loves you to death, even if you are human, he also likes you."

Jiang Xiaoyue looked at each other embarrassedly, "You are also very cute, my name is Jiang Xiaoyue, what's your name?"

"My name is……"

The two of them talked back and forth, Qi Mu walked away wisely, and chatted with old man Zhang for a while, when it came to the peach stone, the old man stroked his beard, nodded and said: "So...it does have the function of repairing .”

Qi Mu remembered what Huamei said, and asked, "Is the person who gave the peach pit a god?"

"I don't know about that." The old man blinked his eyes mysteriously, "Maybe it has something to do with you."

"...When doing this kind of action, also pay attention to your age."

……

After leaving the old man's shop, they walked back and saw A Ming at the door of the house.

"Are you looking for our female ghost?"

Amin nodded.

Qi Mu opened the door and asked him strangely, "Why don't you go in?"

"She..." Amin carefully pointed to the door, "She won't let me in..."

"Then I won't bother you, you continue." Qi Mu smiled and shut him out.
