Strange Story of Strange House

On the weekend before Christmas, Lin Chi stalked Huaiyin out of the house.Although it was already afternoon, it was still early for Huai Yin, whose work and rest were upside down day and night, and Yun Bao, who woke up and slept with him.

Therefore, the one big and one small who were forcibly dragged out of the quilt by Lin Chi were unhappy the whole time.

Huaiyin, who got up very angry, changed her usual style and taught Lin Chi all the way: "Christmas? What's the meaning? Do you remember that you are a Chinese son?"

"Remember Dad?" Rainbow Dash echoed.With solidarity, Huaiyin is even more proud: "Chinese people, just pay attention to the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Qingming. Christmas or something, it's better to let me sleep well!"

"Grandpa is right!"

Seeing the big and the small singing together, Lin Chi was helpless. He looked at Huaiyin's beautiful face that exuded the resentment of "getting up early and not going to sleep" all the time, and smiled angrily: "How many years ago did you do that?" Outdated thinking? Keep up with the times! Also, besides today, which day did you not sleep well?"

Huaiyin simply turned his head away from Lin Chi. Yun Bao, who was sitting on his shoulder, looked at Huaiyin and then at Lin Chi. He tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, as if he felt that Grandpa's aura was stronger. Immediately afterwards, he tossed his head and assumed the same posture as Huaiyin.

Lin Chi touched Yun Bao's head in a funny way, rolled his eyes, and moved to Huaiyin's side to act like a baby: "Dad, we've come here, let's go shopping, how long have you been shopping with me~ "

This trick is Lin Chi's secret to dealing with Huaiyin - he already remembered when Huaiyin picked him up, and although he recognized Huaiyin's adoptive father status, he rarely called him father.So once he called daddy coquettishly, Huaiyin obeyed him in everything.

By the way, acting like a baby is not only effective against Huai Yin, but also effective against Lou Qi.After all, no matter whether the two people are hard-spoken or not, they are easy to soften towards him.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Lin Chi said, Huaiyin immediately showed hesitation, and was not so resistant to getting up early to go out.Lin Chi strikes while the iron is hot: "Every time I see other people's fathers going shopping with them, I am so envious. I know you have worked hard raising me, and I shouldn't have called you up so early, but I still want to be with my father." Take a walk down the street..."

As he spoke, Lin Chi lowered his head, weeping, "Forget it, let's go back."

Huaiyin immediately became nervous, he stopped Lin Chi who was about to leave, "It's all here, Dad must be going shopping with Xiao Chi."

"Isn't Dad unwilling?"

"Who said that! Dad really likes to go shopping with Xiao Chi." Huai Yin opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Thanks to Huaiyin's cooperation, the subsequent process became extremely smooth. Lin Chi purchased some daily necessities and chose a few Christmas gifts.In fact, it doesn’t matter whether or not the festival is celebrated, it’s just for celebration. After all, there are so many sufferings in this world, people must learn to find reasons to make themselves happier.

However, Lin Chi tried his best to get Huaiyin out, not just for shopping - there is a famous commercial street in K City called Yangchun Road, and on Yangchun Road, there is a very special shop called Ghost Food.As the name suggests, the food ghosts made by this store can also eat.

Lin Chi learned about this store from Dan Qing, and taking advantage of this visit, Lin Chi planned to take Huaiyin there once.

At the same time, in the luxurious box of Ghost Food, Secretary Hu sent the client away with a smile, and turned to look at Mr. Shen: "Master, if we can sign the contract with the underworld, the chances of resurrecting Madam will increase again, right? "

"Hmm." The man's face was expressionless, but Secretary Hu, who was familiar with him, knew that Mr. Shen was in a very good mood now.The dead wife had a huge influence on him, she could easily control his emotions, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

When Mr. Shen left Ghost Food with his secretary, a taxi stopped at the gate of Ghost Food, blocking their car.Later, Mr. Shen saw the person he had been thinking about for a century coming out of the car with a helpless face.

At that moment, astonishment, surprise, and disbelief mixed together on Mr. Shen's handsome face. Huaiyin is still alive? !

But before Shen Jinghan went over to recognize each other, he saw a handsome boy getting off from the co-pilot, he leaned over to Huaiyin and said something, Huaiyin smiled and nodded, the boy happily jumped up and hugged Huaiyin.

After witnessing this scene, Mr. Shen was furious—the daughter-in-law, whom I hadn’t hugged in a century, was hugged casually! !

In an instant, a monstrous killing intent rushed over.

Just when Mr. Shen was about to rush out and kill the wild man who dared to seduce his wife, Secretary Hu stopped him in time.

"Master, please calm down! Is this really Madam? Even if it is, you rushed out before you figured out the situation. Aren't you afraid that the tragedy of the past will repeat itself?!"

Stimulated by Secretary Hu's words, Mr. Shen calmed down, and said with a sullen face, "Check! Check it out for me!"

"Yes!"

Huaiyin, who was standing in front of the ghost food and let Lin Chi hug him, suddenly looked in the direction of Shen Jinghan. Just now he felt a strong killing intent rushing towards his face, and soon disappeared without a trace.He frowned, trying to see what happened, but the ghost food's enchantment was done so well that he couldn't see what was inside the ghost food at all from his position.

For a moment, Huaiyin suddenly didn't want to go in, but looking at Lin Chi who looked expectant, he hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing.

That night, Mr. Shen received a detailed document. He looked at the boy with a shy smile on the document and had a sudden plan.

******

Because there was no weekend, the Christmas school held classes as usual, but the teachers could somewhat understand the students' eagerness to move, and the classes were mostly interactive.

It was a very beautiful girl who was called up to give a PPT speech.Lin Chi didn't have the slightest impression of her, so he poked Chen Feng beside him with his hand, and asked, "Who is this?"

Chen Feng glanced at him in surprise: "No, Lin Chi! Our goddess Ban Yanling! You don't even know her!?"

"... Is there such a character in our class? Why don't I know?"

"It must be there! How out of the ordinary are you! This is the hero of our class!" Chen Feng looked at Lin Chi with a heartbroken expression, vividly interpreting the image of a buddy who hates iron but can't make steel.

Lin Chi rolled his eyes at him, but he was still wondering: Is there really such a person in the class?Although he doesn't like group activities, he is not indifferent to the class.He clearly remembered that there was no such person in the class!

It's not surprising that there is one more person, it may be a transfer student, but judging from Chen Feng's performance, this Yan Ling did not come suddenly, but "always existed".

Lin Chi, who had just experienced the incident with his senior sister, couldn't help being a little wary of such "extra people".

After class, Lin Chi bid farewell to Chen Feng and walked out of the school along the remote path alone. He promised Danqing to go to the noodle shop today to help decorate the Christmas-themed shop.

Suddenly, the sound of fine footsteps behind him caught his attention—won't it?It's bright and sunny, can you still bump into ghosts?

Lin Chi quickened his pace, and the footsteps behind him also hurried up.Just when Lin Chi was about to start running, a girl's panting voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lin Chi! Wait a minute!"

Lin Chi turned around and found that the one who had been following him was... Yan Ling? !

"What's the matter?" Lin Chi didn't let down his vigilance for this extra woman, but Yan Ling's actions obviously exceeded his expectations.Yan Ling handed out a pink envelope carefully: "Lin, Lin Chi! I...I have liked you for a long time!"

love letter? !

This is the first love letter Lin Chi has received in his life!Shocked, most of his vigilance was lowered, and his mind was a little dazed. Yan Ling handed over the love letter, and he just went to pick it up.But he didn't like her, and when he came back to his senses, he was about to consider a sentence to refuse, when he suddenly smelled a fragrance from the envelope, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.

******

When Lin Chi woke up, he found himself lying on the bed. The furnishings of the room looked familiar, but his mind was blank.

who I am?This is where?

Lin Chi tried hard to think back, and finally remembered his name—his name was Lin Chi, and this room was his "home" for 13 years.

——Why did you come back here?He should no longer belong here!

A strange thought suddenly flashed through his head, Lin Chi got out of bed, walked to the bathroom with his vague memory, and saw himself, his young self, in the huge mirror mounted on the wall of the bathroom.

He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was still in junior high school without accident.

Lin Chi frowned delicately. He always felt that he shouldn't be at this age. He should have grown up. What things have he experienced and who have he met...

Maybe it was a long dream that gave him such an illusion?

The sudden sound from the door awakened the pensive Lin Chi. He felt a little scared, but he still walked out of the bathroom.

When the visitor saw him with a dazed expression, he immediately flew into a rage: "What kind of expression is that on your face?! You won't say hello when you see your father coming back! What a loser!"

That's right, this is his father, and the woman who entered the door led a boy who was younger than him——his mother and younger brother, whose names I couldn't remember at all.

why?This is obviously his life, why is it so strange?

The man went to the kitchen, and came out angrily soon: "Why didn't you cook! What's the use of raising you! You can only eat but not cook."

Hearing his father's cursing, Lin Chi felt numb in his heart, but there was also a trace of despair in his numbness. He said dully, "Dad, I forgot..."

——I seem to have forgotten all this, don't scold me, I'm very scared.

It's a pity that the man refused to listen to his explanation at all, and sneered: "Forgot? Why didn't you forget yourself?" His mother quickly came over to smooth things over: "My child's father, don't be angry, Xiao Chi is still young. "

"Still young? I'm at his age, and I'm already earning money outside to support my family, and he's still eating at home!"

"Our family is not that difficult..." Mother said awkwardly.

"It's not difficult!? Then you raise him! You raise this mourner!"

As far back as he can remember, Lin Chi has been able to see ghosts and has a strong ability to provoke ghosts. People around him will be unlucky to some extent.Naturally, his parents were the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, they disliked this son very much, and after having a normal child, they disliked him even more.

"Mom and Dad, stop arguing, I'm hungry!" The little boy who was placed on the sofa stopped the parents who were about to quarrel.When the father heard his younger brother shouting for hunger, he immediately put on a smiling face: "My little army is hungry! My mother is going to cook soon."

"Hey! Okay, Xiaojun, wait a minute, mom will cook now, and cook what you like." Naturally, the mother was very happy to be rescued, and went into the kitchen.The father carried the younger brother into the house, leaving Lin Chi standing at the door alone.

Seeing the family enjoying themselves happily, while he acted like an outsider, Lin Chi felt flustered, touched his heart, and murmured: "Strange, shouldn't I have stopped caring?"

That night, his mother knocked on the door of his room with an empty bag: "Xiao Chi, you also saw that the family can no longer support you. I know you are not feeling well if your father is like this. Why don't you just go out and work. "The woman hesitated for a moment, and stuffed him with 500 yuan, "Let's go, don't come back. You always provoke those things, for the good of our family... I have wronged you."

Lin Chi was silent for a while, and finally nodded. He looked around with red eyes. There didn't seem to be much to miss in this room. He stuffed a few clothes into his bag, and was about to leave this "home" that didn't accept him. ".When he was going out, he bumped into his younger brother Lin Jun. The boy was sitting on the sofa, shaking his calf: "Hey, are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"Not coming back?"

"……Um."

Lin Jun jumped down from the sofa and said with a smile: "That's good, I'll tell my dad right now, connect your room with mine, I think my room is too small!"

"whatever."

Lin Chi went out with his bag on his back. His home was at the deepest part of an alley. He walked out along the alleyway, and every step was extremely heavy.

As of today, he is homeless.

Lin Chi is young, and no one is willing to provide him with a job.He was neither an adult nor an ID card. He didn't have much money and couldn't afford to stay in a hotel. He spent several nights in a bridge hole not far from his home.

What's worse, his physique is very easy to attract ghosts, almost every night, he will be chased by the undead, they clamored to eat him, but he could only dodge in embarrassment.In the past, his parents invited god statues to drive away ghosts at home, and as long as he returned home, those little ghosts would no longer pester him, but this time, even the family that didn't love him would no longer protect him.

The 500 yuan given by my mother was quickly exhausted when I couldn't make ends meet.He was hungry and wandered outside the back kitchen of the restaurant. He was young, and sometimes a kind chef would give him something to eat.He once went home, his mother packed up his things and threw them beside the trash can outside the alley, he pulled them out and brought them back to the bridge hole where he lived.

He wanted to jump off the flyover more than once to end this life that no one expected, but there was always a voice in his heart that stopped him, telling him to wait, someone would come to pick him up, Give him a warm hug.

That night, he was chased all over the street by a ghost.Li Gui regretted jumping off the building, and wanted to find a substitute for the dead ghost so that he could be reincarnated, so he chased after him with that face that looked like it had been hit by a frying pan...

Afterwards, Lin Chi hid in a corner of the temple, and only then got rid of the ghost.

It is the age of growing body, but he has not had a full meal for a long time, and the frantic escape for several hours has completely exhausted his physical strength.After relaxing, he felt pain all over his body... He couldn't help crying loudly while hugging his knees, thinking: Why hasn't that person come yet?He will soon be unable to hold on!

As if he heard the cry in his heart, a luxury car that he had never seen before stopped not far from him, and a man stepped out of the car, walking straight towards him.

The man is tall and handsome, the contours of his face seem to have been finely trimmed with a blade, the lines are smooth, the beginning and end are just right, and there is no fault.

Lin Chi subconsciously thought that the man who came to pick him up would not be this man.He lowered his head in disappointment, and the next second, he was suddenly hugged into a warm embrace.

The man squatted down and took the thin man into his arms.

"Don't cry." The man's voice was very nice, the magnetic low voice hit the heart one after another.This man doesn't dislike him for being dirty, this man has a very warm embrace... With support, Lin Chi rested his head on the man's shoulder, weeping silently.

The man gave a low laugh and rubbed his head: "Don't cry, my name is Shen Jinghan, and I will be your father from today on."
