Ghost World Office

This photo album is very old.The plastic transparent protective film covering the photos has begun to turn yellow, and under the soft light, the tiny scratches on the film reflect the fluffy light.

Tao Ye stroked the footer of the album with his fingers, and started to look at the photos on the first page.

The first photo was taken when Tao Ye was in kindergarten.It was the kindergarten's New Year's party. Little Tao Ye's face was painted pink, he wore a girl's light blue dress, and danced on the stage with a handkerchief.

Tao Ye still remembers that at that time he really wanted to participate in this dance performance, but this performance could only be participated by girls.But on the day of the performance, Tao Ye's parents were not present because of something, and he was sad for a long time.

This photo was snapped in the auditorium.After staring at the photo for a long time, Tao Ye turned to the next one.

The next one is a photo of Tao Ye participating in the school swimming competition when he was in elementary school.At that time, Tao Ye was thin and weak and couldn't swim well with other children. He was not included in the swimming competition list, but on the day of the competition, the child who was supposed to participate had a stomachache.

In the photo, Tao Ye smiled happily, wearing half-worn dark blue swimming trunks, holding wet swimming goggles in one hand, and a swimming cap that had just been taken off in the other, cheering for his classmates.

Tao Ye's throat was swollen. If it wasn't for this photo, he wouldn't even remember it.

He flipped through them one by one, and the color of the photos gradually changed from gray to bright.

Tao Ye in the penultimate photo has grown up.At that time, he completed a task and got a lot of rewards. He used these rewards to take Tao Yi to Hong Kong for a tour.Downstairs in the densely populated high-rise buildings in Hong Kong, Tao Ye was holding Tao Yi's hand, feeding something into Tao Yi's mouth.Tao Ye looked carefully and found that it was strawberry cake, Tao Yi's favorite food.

The two people in the photo laughed happily, Tao Ye was suddenly in a daze, had he ever been this happy before?

The last photo is a selfie. On the left side of the photo is Lu Yi's face. Lu Yi is smiling faintly at the camera. Not far behind Lu Yi, Tao Ye is standing on the balcony of Lu Yi's apartment, surrounded by people Carnations of various colors.

In the photo, Tao Ye lowered his head and reached out to caress the petals of a carnation. The sun hit his face, making his skin translucent and fair.

After reading the entire album, Tao Ye suddenly felt that the air around him became solid, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Tao Ye had never seen these photos before, and it was obvious that someone took them specially, but he couldn't remember who took these photos.

Could that person be Lu Yi?

This wonderful idea took root in Tao Ye's heart, and it grew rapidly irresistibly. Tao Ye vaguely remembered that in his distant childhood, life was not so difficult except for the early death of his parents.

The little luck that happened in Tao Ye's life is the reason that Tao Ye has the confidence to continue to live for a long time.

"Damn, there's a pervert." Tao Ye murmured in a low voice.

He couldn't understand what kind of person Lu Yi was, who would record his growth in more detail than his parents.

Tao Ye's eye sockets were sore, and his nasal passages were so blocked that he couldn't breathe at all.He quickly closed the photo album, threw it aside, opened his mouth and took a deep breath, forcing himself to look out at the night sky through the glass window, as if his eyes were breathing.

"Who is the pervert?" A familiar voice sounded from behind Tao Ye.

Tao Ye could hardly control his body, his shoulders trembled suddenly, and he turned his head slowly——

Lu Yi stood right behind Tao Ye, with his head down, his gaze like water.

Like knocking over seven or eight seasoning bottles, Tao Ye's mood is hard to describe with an adjective.He was stunned for a second, then stared at Lu Yi's face with extremely passionate eyes, and remained silent for a while.

Lu Yi's face has not changed much from the last time we met, it is still as delicate as ever.It's just that Tao Ye keenly noticed that Lu Yi's eyes had an extremely fine bruise.

"I'm so happy." Lu Yi spoke first, his voice trembling slightly imperceptibly.

Tao Ye pursed his lips, turned his head away, the flickering city lights outside the window hit his face, and a line of crystals was falling from the corner of his eyes.

Lu Yi wanted to reach out to wipe away the bright shooting star, but his hand stopped at a distance of [-] to [-] centimeters from Tao Ye. After a long time, he put his hand down, looked at Tao Ye and said in a low voice:

"I thought you were never coming back."

Tao Ye gritted his teeth, turned his head to stare at the tip of Lu Yi's nose, and slowly moved his gaze up to Lu Yi's pair of deep and boundless eyes, resisting the turbulent emotions:

"I really don't plan to come back. The main reason is that I predict that you will come back tonight. I'm here to kill you."

When Tao Ye spoke, Lu Yi listened very carefully.As soon as the words fell, Lu Yi squatted down, put one knee on the floor, pulled out the gleaming chain from his body, and handed it to Tao Ye without saying a word.

"What do you mean?" Tao Ye asked with a frown as Tao Ye's palm felt slightly hot as the chain that belonged exclusively to Lu Yi was resting on Tao Ye's palm.

"Strike my soul with this chain, and I will die." When Lu Yi spoke, he kept looking into Tao Ye's eyes. Wherever Lu Yi's gaze went, there was no distracting tenderness.

Tao Ye used all his strength to bite his lower lip, and the bloody smell instantly spread from the tip of his tongue. He asked Lu Yi, "Is this your apology?"

Still maintaining the posture of kneeling on the ground, Lu Yi slightly lowered his head, his black hair drooping, revealing his white and muscular back neck.

Holding the chain tightly, Tao Ye gritted his teeth and asked, "Aren't you going to say something?"

He has a lot of things he wants to ask Lu Yi. He wants to ask why Lu Yi suddenly disappeared, why he killed himself, why he took so many photos, and why he treated him so well after he entered the human world in S City...

"I'm sorry." Lu Yi said in a low voice without looking up.

Tears burst.Tao Ye felt that his cheeks were divided by rows of tears. These tears were like laser rays, tearing the skin on his face ferociously.

"So that little girl I saw at the scene of the fire was actually Tao Yi?" Tao Ye finally only asked the question he wanted to know the most.

Lu Yi didn't speak, and the room fell into silence.

"Then what is this?" Tao Ye raised his hand to pick up the photo album, and threw the photo album heavily on the floor in front of Lu Yi.

Under the impact of gravity, the photos in the album were smashed out and scattered on the ground one by one.Tao Ye was smiling so happily in every photo, but now, in Tao Ye's eyes, it was extremely dazzling.

Lu Yi silently picked up the scattered photos, tidied them up and put them aside, looked up at Tao Ye:

"I just want you to be happy forever."

Lu Yi didn't answer all Tao Ye's questions directly.For Tao Ye, not answering was a default.

So Tao Ye sneered, and blurted out harsh words:

"Make me happy forever? To make me happy forever is to use Tao Yi's shadow to lure me to die, let me live forever in this identity of neither human nor ghost, and watch my former friends die one by one?"

"Didn't you say that you hate the soul in my body? What kind of new gameplay is this, Director Lu, did I let the God of Law create you? These have nothing to do with me, right? !"

Lu Yi was silent, he wanted to wipe the tears off Tao Ye's face, but was pushed away by Tao Ye.

"Don't touch me!" Tao Ye's accumulated emotions exploded, like a beast caught in a trap and soaked in rain, staring at Lu Yi fiercely.

After Tao Ye finished speaking, he got up from the window and threw the chain in his hand to the ground.The chains collided with the floor, making a series of dull sounds.The brilliance attached to the chain, like sparks, flickered a few times.

Looking down at Lu Yi from a high position, Tao Ye couldn't control his expression, nor could he control his words. He said to Lu Yi in a cold tone he had never used in his life:

"You are disgusting, Lu Yi."

After speaking, Tao Ye wanted to leave, but Lu Yi grabbed his wrist.

He looked down, and Lu Yi lowered his head, holding his wrist tightly with one hand, without saying a word.

"Let me go." Tao Ye warned in a low voice without struggling.

Lu Yi slowly raised his head and looked at Tao Ye.His eyes were bloodshot, and even the mucous membranes around his eyes were slightly red.He asked Tao Ye in an almost begging tone:

"Can't you forgive me?"

The anger made Tao Ye unable to think rationally, and he replied almost subconsciously: "I will never forgive you."

Before meeting Lu Yi, Tao Ye's heart was loosened.Every photo in that album told Tao Ye that maybe Lu Yi had something to hide, maybe it was not true that Lu Yi lured him back to the scene of the fire.

But after Lu Yi appeared, that kind of silence, that kind of letting Tao Ye bully him, let Tao Ye insult him, made Tao Ye's anger rekindled in an instant.

Innocent people always defend themselves, but Lu Yi has no intention of defending himself.

The hand holding Tao Ye's wrist still didn't loosen, instead it became tighter and tighter.Lu Yi's lips trembled a few times, and his voice also trembled slightly:

"Don't go."

Tao Ye admitted that his heart softened at this moment.How much he wanted to hold Lu Yi's hand instead, then sit down against Lu Yi's body, bury his head in Lu Yi's neck, and sniff the breath of Lu Yi greedily.

But he felt that he was not qualified to be soft-hearted, he was not qualified to forgive Tao Yi, and he was not qualified to forgive himself, so he shook off Lu Yi's hand vigorously, and left without looking back.

Tao Ye escaped from the 99th floor.

Looking at the city lights outside the glass of the elevator, Tao Ye's entire chest was in severe pain.

He felt that he was not punishing Lu Yi, but punishing himself.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Tao Ye quickly got out of the elevator with precarious steps, walked through the lobby on the first floor, and walked towards the main entrance of Chengkong Square Community.

When Tao Ye was passing by the convenience store in the community, Li Li was coming out of the convenience store with his shopping bags.After seeing Tao Ye, Li Li called Tao Ye's name:

"Tao Ye!"
