The place where the spirit was sent was in the park beside the Eqing River. At 8:10 p.m., the Huaping Bridge towered over the river. The colorful neon lights on the bridge reflected the calm flowing Eqing River in a strange way. Glazed luster.
After extinguishing the cigarette, he took out his cell phone and looked at the time. There were still a few minutes left before the best time to send the soul according to Yang Shuang's divination. Li Xiaoqi, who was a little bored, decided to have a few words with Geng Xinyi before sending the soul.
Miaomiao green smoke slowly floated out from the iron box, gathered together and turned into Geng Xinyi. Looking at Li Xiaoqi sitting in front of her, Geng Xinyi asked curiously.
"Why is it that the time to send the soul has come so soon?"
"No, I'm just a little bored and wanted to say a few words to you one last time."
"Oh, that's right, then tell me."
After taking a look at the swaying bushes in front of the pavilion not far behind Li Xiaoqi, Geng Xinyi said.
"If you had a choice, what would you like to be in your next life?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Geng Xinyi said thoughtfully.
"What, can you help me make it happen?"
"Well...I really can't do this."
"Sending you to the Netherworld through the spirit-sending ceremony is already my limit."
Shrugging his shoulders, Li Xiaoqi said with a wry smile.
"That's it...if I can, I hope to become a kitten, and finally have an owner who loves me and pampers me." After saying that, Geng Xinyi did not forget to make cute cat gestures towards Li Xiaoqi.
"Okay, it's time to send the spirit, let's get started."
After saying that, Li Xiaoqi threw a yellow talisman paper towards Geng Xinyi.
After the talisman paper was burned out and looking at Geng Xinyi who was gradually becoming transparent, Li Xiaoqi said softly.
"If you really turn into a kitten in your next life, remember to bark three times if you meet me."
"I will pamper you well."
"Then we'll make an agreement."
"Um."
After sending Geng Xinyi away, Li Xiaoqi patted the paper ash stained on his pants, lit a cigarette, and spoke to the pavilion not far away.
"Don't hide it."
The cigarette was half smoked, and there was still no movement in the bushes in front of the pavilion. Li Xiaoqi, with a wicked smile on his face, seemed to be talking to himself.
"I'm so sleepy, let's go home and sleep~"
Before Li Xiaoqi could take a few steps, a petite figure rushed out of the bushes.
"Brother Xiaoqi, please wait for me."
Li Xiaoqi, who kept chuckling as he looked at the ridiculous appearance of Zhang Yue'er's cloud-like hair covered with leaves, asked while cleaning the leaves from her hair.
"You said you're not staying at home this late at night, so why are you following me out?"
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask me, why are you talking to yourself by the river when you are not at home this late at night?"
Facing the present, Zhang Yue'er stood on tiptoes with her hands on her waist, staring at her with a pair of big watery eyes. It is undeniable that for a moment, Li Xiaoqi was really panicked, but
Fortunately, as a nearly thirty-year-old veteran, he easily defused the cute attack from Zhang Yue'er.
"Hey, you girl, you've learned how to beat her up."
"Come on, why are you following me this late at night? If you don't tell me, I'm going to spank your little ass~"
Reaching out to press down Zhang Yue'er who was resting on her toes, Li Xiaoqi looked at her and pretended to be malicious.
"You spank, you spank, they will be yours sooner or later anyway, so what's the matter if they are spanked by you."
"I don't care if you do more extreme things to me, come on."
Listening to the petite and cute Zhang Yue'er say such tough words.
Li Xiaoqi, who had black lines all over his head, was completely defeated by her.
"You, you, I don't know what you are thinking about every day in your little head, walking home."
Just when Li Xiaoqi was about to move forward, he was pulled back by Zhang Yue'er.
"Brother Xiaoqi, was my grandfather sent away by you here too?"
Hearing Zhang Yue'er's inquiry, Li Xiaoqi sighed softly and spoke.
"I really didn't send Third Master away, but don't worry, Third Master is living a good life in the Netherworld now."
"Did grandpa say anything to you?"
"Of course, let me take care of you, a little girl who makes people worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoqi's waist was hugged tightly by Zhang Yue'er from behind, and at the same time, a warm feeling of moisture soaked into the clothes behind him.
"Brother Xiaoqi, the only person I can rely on now is you."
"Promise me you will never leave me, okay."
Feeling the warmth brought by Zhang Yue'er's breath and tears behind him, Li Xiaoqi turned around, took the sad and helpless Zhang Yue'er into his arms, and then spoke softly.
"Silly girl, how could I leave you?"
"If I don't want a wife no matter how nice she is, then I'll be a fool."
The two were silent for a moment. Li Xiaoqi thought that his almost confessional words would move Zhang Yue'er to pieces, but who would have thought that what Li Xiaoqi was waiting for was the same sentence.
"Brother Xiaoqi, I'm hungry. Let's go eat ramen."
"Sixth Master, is it too late for me to return the goods now? Your granddaughter is quite smart~"
"Ah hahaha, brother Xiao Qi, please give up. Brother Shuangzi told me that you are mine in life and mine in death."
Fortunately, the ramen shop is not too far from Eqingjiang Park, so Li Xiaoqi and Zhang Yue'er can stroll along Anton's unique Ginkgo Avenue like other couples.
"Brother Xiaoqi, brother Xiaoqi."
"What's wrong."
Looking at Zhang Yue'er, who was running around merrily like a little sparrow, Li Xiaoqi looked at her with such doting eyes.
"Do you see ghosts all the time, or do you see them only when you need to?"
"Well..."
Hearing Zhang Yue'er's question, since meeting Geng Xinyi, Li Xiaoqi, who had not yet closed his yin and yang eyes, subconsciously looked around. What he saw were only twos and threes, like ghosts floating in the air with old materials. There were new ones. Some of those who died were about to reach the seven-day deadline.
"I only open it when I need it, otherwise I keep my yin and yang eyes open all day long."
"You can see ghosts everywhere, it's really disturbing."
"Then they all look scary?"
"You're such a curious baby, aren't you afraid of saying this so late at night?"
Li Xiaoqi stretched out his hand and scratched Zhang Yue'er's nose, and said with a smile.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I still have you, Brother Xiaoqi."
Stopping Li Xiaoqi's arm, Zhang Yuer smiled sweetly.
"You."
In the cold night, in the lonely road, the ginkgo leaves on both sides have begun to turn yellow. Li Xiaoqi, who closed his yin and yang eyes, only sees the smiling Zhang Yue'er at this moment, and in Zhang Yue'er's eyes, there is also only Li Xiaoqi who always looks lazy. Xiao Qi.
