Strange Story of Strange House

"Zhuang Yao... aren't you on a business trip?" Seeing Zhuang Yao, Zheng Yu was obviously taken aback, then suddenly raised his head and glanced at the apartment, "Are you using me?! Are you doing it on purpose?! What exactly are you trying to do? If you want to hurt Chuning, I will not let you go!"

"How could I hurt him? I crawled out of hell because of him." Zhuang Yao chuckled, "I just want you to tell him the truth."

Zhuang Yao stood by the street lamp, the dim light only illuminated half of his face, the other half of his face was hidden in the darkness, which looked very strange.

"...What happened back then, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." Zheng Yu hesitated for a while, then suddenly apologized in a low voice.

"One life is worth one life, and I will kill you too." Zhuang Yao didn't want to talk too much with this former rival in love, but Zheng Yu smiled wryly after hearing this: "How can life be worth it?

"I killed you, but even if I pay for my life with death, Chuning will not forgive me. And if I pay for your life, my parents will not think that I deserve it. The so-called one life for one life is just the living people exchanging pain A way. But the pain has been exchanged, isn't it still pain?

"Everyone is responsible for their own mistakes. When people die, the lights go out, leaving only those who love us deeply, suffering in this world. These days after my death, my parents lived in pain, watching their lives The appearance is more uncomfortable than letting me die. I will not rob Chuning from you again, so treat him well and stop calculating him like this. He is so innocent in this matter, because of your death, he is already in pain I don't want the person I like to be hurt again."

After Zheng Yu finished speaking, he left, but Zhuang Yao stood there for a long time.

--That's too late.Why don't I love Chuning, but the affection of the devil is doomed to him forever, until he is dragged into the abyss of hell by me, lives with me, and dies with me.From the day I was born again, all this has been unable to end.

After Zheng Yu came, Chu Ning was depressed all night, and the next day, he pulled himself together and went to the nursing home, where he met Xiao Yang.Zhuang Yao's hint to Xiao Yang really worked. After recognizing Chu Ning, Xiao Yang hugged Chuning and begged, told the truth, and begged him to save him.

Zhuang Yao considers himself a trustworthy devil, and he promised Xiao Yang back then that as long as he confessed to Chuning, he would be redeemed.Now is the time to deliver on that promise.

Chuning left the nursing home on the front foot, and Zhuang Yao appeared in front of Xiao Yang on the back foot.

"Am I free?" the man lying on the ground asked. The afternoon sun was so bright that day that it was dazzling.

"Yes, you are free." Zhuang Yao said with a gentle face, "I will send you to a beautiful place, a place where you don't need to repent, and there is no torture."

On the afternoon when Chuning visited, Xiao Yang passed away.According to the nurse who took care of him, there was a relieved smile on Xiao Yang's remains.After that, things continued to proceed in an orderly manner according to Zhuang Yao's plan.

As Zhuang Yao's last pawn, Xu Hengwei successfully defeated the last line of defense in Chuning's heart. He had to face this cruel and unreasonable reality. At dawn, Chuning called his cousin Chen Ling.But what Zhuang Yao didn't expect was that after hanging up the phone, Chuning went out.

Chuning's destination was a noodle shop in front of the West Gate of S University, which didn't even exist when Zhuang Yao graduated.Just when Zhuang Yao wanted to enter the store to find out, he was surprised to find that he was blocked by an enchantment, and he couldn't even get close to the store.

What is the purpose of Chuning coming here?What kind of variables will it bring to his plan?A move was missed, and the situation suddenly became dark and unclear. This sense of loss of control actually made Zhuang Yao, who had always been in control of the overall situation, a little uneasy.

Fortunately, although the process was out of control, Zhuang Yao was happy with the ending. It can even be said that the result was unexpectedly good.As an unplanned existence, Lin Chi not only comforted Chuning's emotions with kindness, but also showed his own experience and enlightened Chuning, who almost got into a corner.

Having said that, when Zhuang Yao actually stood at the door of his house, he was still apprehensive.But before he could finish his speech, the door was suddenly opened, and Chuning poked his head out, and softly called out, "Brother Yao? Why didn't you come in? I just saw you enter the building from the window, why are you waiting?" Wait and see no one."

Zhuang Yao was at a loss for words for a while, and the two looked at each other. It felt like they had been separated for several years, but in fact, only a week had passed since Zhuang Yao's "business trip".

It's just that this week is too long, so long that they almost missed it.

After entering the room, Chuning naturally took Zhuang Yao's coat, hung it up for him, turned around, and found that Zhuang Yao was still standing there.

"Why are you standing there?"

"Xiao Ning, you already know."

"About the fact that you are not human?" Chu Ning was taken aback after speaking, and then laughed out loud, as if he was swearing.

"Yeah." But Zhuang Yao couldn't laugh, he just stared at Chuning blankly, afraid of missing any smile on his face, falling in love with someone would be a dead end.

"You're not human, so you don't want to live with me?" Chuning tilted her head, making a teasing expression, "Didn't you pursue me first?"

"How could it be! I love you so much..."

"Then it's over, what should I do?" Chuning smiled and thumped him, then turned and walked towards the bathroom, "It's dusty, why don't you take a shower first? I'll drain the water for you."

"Okay." Zhuang Yao responded with a smile, then entered the bathroom, and hugged Chuning from behind.

"Baby, I miss you." He delicately kissed the skin behind Chuning's ear, and under the steam and steam from the bathroom, Chuning's skin quickly turned into an attractive crimson.

"Yao...Brother Yao, slow down..." Chu Ning relaxed his body obediently, and completely handed himself over to Zhuang Yao. It was a long and lingering night for the couple to meet again after a long absence.

…………

"So, you came to thank me?" Lin Chi frowned, "I don't think I need to be thanked."

"Thank you or not is my business." Zhuang Yao shook the tea in the cup, took a sip, and suddenly became very respectful, "Besides, besides thanking you, I also want to say hello to you this time. pier."

"???" Zhuang Yao's sudden change of attitude caught Lin Chi off guard.

"You are my master's only child, and I should come to pay a visit. If there is any need in the future, the young master can just tell you."

"Wait!" At this time, Lin Chi realized belatedly, "You just said that the demon who signed the contract with you is named Shen..."

"Yes, Mr. Shen is my master."

"The person you're talking about is Shen Jinghan?!"

…………

After sending Zhuang Yao away, Lin Chi returned to the second floor with a face of shock, and plunged into Lou Qi's arms.Lou Qi swiftly moved away the ancient book he was reading, reached out to take it, and hugged Lin Chi in his arms.

"What happened?" Lou Qi reached out and touched his head in his arms. Lin Chi moved a few times cooperatively, adjusted to a comfortable posture, and put his head on Lou Qi's shoulder until his nose was full of breath. It was Lou Qi's aura, so he regained his composure and recounted what he had just seen and heard to Lou Qi.At the end, he also expressed his opinion: "I feel a little sad after hearing the story of Zhuang Yao and Chuning."

"Why? Isn't it a happy ending?"

"I can understand Zhuang Yao's starting point, but obviously there is a more tactful way. He chose the cruelest way, spreading all the killing and malice in front of Chuning without reservation. If you are weak, you have to have a Bad Ending? The road he chose, the two of them stumbled and almost missed each other, and as a bystander, I was also frightened."

"Maybe he just wanted to tell Chuning everything exactly."

"Anyway, after hearing this story, I was not happy at all. You didn't see how uncomfortable Chu Ning was when he talked about it yesterday." Lin Chi rubbed his head against Lou Qi's shoulder, "Actually, Zhuang Yao himself is not very happy either. , when he recounted the whole plan to me, he mentioned Chuning being sad several times. He considered this and couldn’t bear to see Chuning being sad. At this time, he could obviously change the plan and choose a more gentle way, but he still put that The plan was meticulously executed.”

"Because he is a demon." Lou Qi gave an unexpected answer after listening.

"Devil?" Lin Chi straightened up abruptly, and asked in surprise, "Why is this the answer?"

"Demons usually have personality defects. Regarding this point, there are many documents in the world. Among them, the seven deadly sins are the most widely circulated. Although many contents in the records are fabricated by the writers, they do not have Authoritative, but it can also reflect from the side that the devil does have flaws in character. Judging from your description, Zhuang Yao's personality flaw should be paranoia. When he implemented the plan, he felt pain and hesitation, but the personality flaw Paranoia compelled him to carry out his plans to achieve his goals."

"Devil..." Lin Chi repeated the word softly, "Even if he knew that the plan might hurt Chuning, would he carry out the plan meticulously?"

"Yes, paranoia is like instinct, he can't control it." Lou Qi likes to discuss some issues with Lin Chi very much, the little guy can understand everything, and he can even draw inferences from one instance, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

"..." Lin Chi was too angry to speak.

Lou Qi was a little amused, exerted a little force on his hand, and pressed Lin Chi back into his arms, and the little thing lay quietly in his arms for a long time.

"Xiao Chi, there are all kinds of people in this world. They will go through all kinds of things. Some people can be honest with each other, but more people will test each other with secrets. Each has its own fate. In any case, as long as you live happily, the feeling of happiness is your own, and no one else can judge it."

"I understand. Can I sleep in your arms for a while? I promise I'll forget about it when I wake up."

"Okay." Lou Qi kissed Lin Chi's forehead reassuringly. Lin Chi was a bit oversensitive, he was easily touched by external things, good and bad could easily affect him.

Even if he was taken away by Shen Jinghan and spent nearly six years with him in a dream, Mr. Shen's domineering protection made Lin Chi regain some youthful vitality and self-confidence, but the experience of being abandoned when he was young was very important to a man. For children, the influence is too great, so Lin sooner or later learns to observe words and emotions.His thoughtfulness and sensitivity all come from the hurt he suffered at the beginning, every time Lou Qi thinks about it, Lou Qi feels a little distressed.

Lou Qi patted the thin back in his arms, Lin Chi stayed by his side for so long, and Danqing also fed a lot of food every day under Lou Qi's instruction, but Lin Chi just couldn't gain weight.With a body as thin as a piece of paper, people around him can't help but feel pity for him.

Lin Chi likes Lou Qi's embrace the most, staying in his embrace feels deeply cared for.Lou Qi has a quiet personality, and sometimes he can read a book all day. Lin Chi lay in his arms, and could sleep beautifully in this position.Just when he was half awake and half dazed, he suddenly remembered the important point that he had forgotten - Zhuang Yao said that Shen Jinghan was his master, a high-level demon!

Lin Chi opened his eyes instantly, and sat up in Lou Qi's arms: "Shen Jinghan is also a devil!"

"?" Lou Qi couldn't keep up with Lin Chi's thinking, and was obviously taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"Don't all demons have character defects? Shen Jinghan is also a devil! What is his character defect?! Will he hurt my father!"

"Shen Jinghan's character defect is probably also paranoid."

"How did you know?!" Lin Chi was surprised, and his facial expression turned into admiration, which made Lou Qi amused: "Shen Jinghan, as Zhuang Yao's guide, had a profound influence on Zhuang Yao. In Chuning's description In the book, Zhuang Yao was not paranoid when he was alive, but he suddenly became paranoid after becoming a demon, which can only show that his defect came from the guide."

"Zhuang Yao is paranoid about Chu Ning, and Shen Jinghan is paranoid...my dad?"

Huaiyin's position in Lin Chi's heart cannot be shaken. Once Huaiyin is involved, Lin Chi can't sit still. He jumps off Lou Qi and goes straight to Yunlou.After arriving at Yunlou, I learned from Aunt Yun that Huaiyin hadn't come back at all in the past few days.

Lin Chi felt a "thump" in his heart, a little panicked.Yun Jing waved her fan to comfort him, Huaiyin must have stayed away to hide from Shen Jinghan.One sentence woke Lin Chi up, he couldn't find Huaiyin, but he could find Shen Jinghan!

Lin Chi immediately took out his mobile phone and called Shen Jinghan. He didn't save Shen Jinghan's number, but after living together for six years, he had already memorized this number by heart.

The call was quickly connected, and Shen Jinghan's routines were sooner or later understood. At this moment, he didn't want to entangle with Shen Jinghan, so he changed his words politely: "Father, is Huaiyin with you?"

"No, I haven't seen him for several days." Shen Jinghan said helplessly, "I'm looking for him too."

"Then...do you have time?" Lin Chi hesitated for a moment, thinking that it's not a problem that Huaiyin always hides from Shen Jinghan, he might as well go to Shen Jinghan directly to solve the problem fundamentally.

"It's rare for you to find Dad, so you must have time." Mr. Shen has always been vicious, and it's rare for his son to show weakness, so he naturally wants to take advantage of it, "Daddy is waiting for you in the old house, you can come over anytime."

Shen's house is located in the outskirts of the city and covers a vast area. It is a self-contained old-style building complex.After entering the door, Lin Chi walked along the bluestone road alone, and walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the main house.Lin Chi raised his head, looked at the solemn plaque of Shen's house on the door, suddenly amused, he still remembered how nervous he was when Shen Jinghan brought him here for the first time.

He still doesn't understand why Shen Jinghan did this in the first place, what's the point of taking him captive into the dreamland and caring for him for six years?

Lin Chi found Shen Jinghan's room familiarly. The man lay on the recliner and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He didn't open his eyes until Lin Chi entered the room.

"Here? Sit down."

Lin Chi was not polite to him, moved the chair by himself, and sat upright in front of Shen Jinghan, and there was a faint confrontation.

"I met Zhuang Yao." Lin Chi cleared his throat, "I already know that you are a devil."

"And then?" Shen Jinghan didn't care about the fact that his identity was revealed, he chuckled, "Is that why you came to me?"

Shen Jinghan was calm, and Lin Chi naturally stopped playing around. He straight-forwardly pointed out the topic: "You have hurt Huai Yin once, can you, stay away from him. He can't bear to be hurt again!"

Shen Jinghan was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "How could I be willing to hurt him."

"Then why does he hate you so much? Aunt Yun said you are a heartless person." Lin Chi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly to express his doubts.

Shen Jinghan supported his forehead, mourning his demon life, his son was as difficult to deal with as his daughter-in-law.

"...Do you want to hear the story between me and Huaiyin?"
