"So, you've been following me?" I asked him tentatively.
"I have been following you since Lin Jie took you to the Lost Dreams Residence. But don't get me wrong, protecting you is a task of the underworld."
"Why is protecting me a task?" I looked at him dumbfounded.
He came close to me, blinked his deep eyes, and said half-jokingly: "This is a secret."
confidential? The matter became confusing. There must be something important about me. But I know that Han Wanting, a stingy guy, will never tell me.
"Lin Jie is also from the underworld. I mean you, the protector of the underworld, have so many people as my bodyguards. Then won't your business of catching ghosts be delayed?" I was bored anyway, so I asked casually.
"When ghosts have strong resentment and stay in the human world, we Yinzai will take action. Ordinary ghosts have no consciousness and will go to the underworld on their own."
"Do you have any salary you can get?" On a whim, I wanted to ask around to pass the time.
Han Wanting didn't dislike my behavior very much, he just said: "No salary."
"You're not staying here tonight, are you?" I suddenly changed the topic.
"The person talking to you now is my soul. I won't feel sleepy like humans."
"I'm a little sleepy, can you go back first?"
"Don't sleep, you have to wait a while."
"Okay..." Before I could finish speaking, I had already closed my eyes. My head was empty, and Han Wanting's voice calling me became smaller and smaller in my ears.
As soon as I opened my eyes, a woman in red suddenly stretched out her skinny hands to me.
I wasn't scared, I just took a few steps back in shock.
Because this woman has exactly the same face as me.
"Why are you hiding? I am you and you are me." The face of that "I" is more delicate and paler. The face seemed to be the same as mine, but it was completely different from mine.
"You're not me. At least I won't do something disgusting behind your back."
"But I'm doing it for your own good." She slowly approached me with evil intentions, her eyes full of shrewdness and calculation.
"Control Jiang Yue and then arrest me. Is this for my own good? What do you want?" I asked her, clenching my fists.
She looked up to the sky and smiled like a madman.
"But I did all this so that you can stay away from the blood Tai Sui better. After all, only I can save you. You can't get rid of me." After saying this, she turned around and disappeared.
And I also woke up from my dream. As soon as I woke up, I saw Han Wanting sitting next to the bed. Very close to me. As close as a pair of lovers.
My face felt slightly hot.
"Why are you so close to me?"
"You had a nightmare. I heard you shout and came over. Are you okay?" Han Wanting rarely showed such a worried look on me. Looking at his anxious look, I felt an indescribable feeling.
"I dreamed about the woman in red who had troubled me before. This time she did not wear a veil like before. I saw that she had a face exactly like mine. She also said that she was me and I was her, Everything she did was to save me." After finishing a long paragraph at once, I felt a little thirsty. For the first time, Han Wanting brought me a cup of tea.
"This is just a dream, maybe you are overthinking it. The yin energy here is very strong, and you should not stay here for a long time. Now, Xue Taisui is not allowed to travel freely during the day. You and I can wait until dawn before going back."
I nodded. I just couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this night was so thrilling! This is probably the longest and longest night I have ever spent in my life.
After drinking the water, I was still a little sleepy, but I couldn't help but ask Han Wanting: "Why didn't you let me sleep before?"
He stood up and carried me on his back, and said evasively: "It's nothing, you can go to sleep if you want."
How pretentious. If you don’t say it, don’t say it. So I lay on the bed and fell asleep again.
When I woke up, I realized that I was already in my room. Yes, it is a real home in reality.
I felt happy and curious at the same time. Was it all a dream? This is amazing! But soon, my happiness was interrupted by a note on the table.
The words on the paper are very delicate and it says: Xue Tai Sui is still looking for you, please pay attention to safety at all times. Don't worry, I'll be by your side. The signature is Lin Jie.
I have mixed feelings in my heart. I touched the bracelet subconsciously, feeling a little sad. Suddenly I remembered Lin Jie’s sudden confession to me in the realm of nothingness. Although we grew up together, I never liked him. I regarded him more as family.
Oops, I’ve been thinking so much, but I still have to go to school today!
I looked at the clock and saw that there were only twenty minutes until class time. I washed up in a panic and rushed to school in a hurry.
Because I was afraid of being late, I didn't bother to have breakfast. As I climbed the stairs to the classroom, my stomach kept growling. When we arrived at the classroom, Li Wan and I said hello, and then put down my schoolbag in a distracted manner. But I found that there was a steaming breakfast inside the desk!
"Li Wan, is this the breakfast you brought me? How did you know I didn't have breakfast? Thank you so much!" I ate the delicious breakfast regardless of the image and drank the soy milk in big gulps.
Li Wan looked confused: "It's not me." Suddenly she seemed to remember something and kept snickering at me.
"Who else could it be?"
"Han Wanting. Because when I came, I happened to see him coming out of our classroom. I thought he came to see Xiang Zhichuan. Now that I think about it, he should be bringing you breakfast."
I almost choked myself in surprise!
Chang Lan, who has sensitive ears, heard the words "Han Wanting" and started to make noise again: "Han Wanting has already given you breakfast! I said before that you two were together, why are you still hiding it? Do you think we are? An outsider?"
"No, I..." Before I could finish my words, I was touched by Li Wan with my elbow. I knew it was Laoban who came to inspect. I quickly turned around and sat down, quickly picked up the book and started reading in a decent manner. Behind him, the sound of Chang Lan's reading suddenly became louder.
I felt terribly guilty, but luckily Laoban had bad eyesight and didn't see me talking to Chang Lan. After I saw him out with my peripheral vision, I felt at ease. It’s all because Chang Lan is so gossipy! I'll go find her to discuss it after class is over.
But having said that, why did Han Wanting bring me breakfast? I'm not used to being so nice to me all of a sudden.
After class, I turned to Chang Lan and said, "Don't talk nonsense. There is nothing between Han Wanting and I. It's just a breakfast. If I treat you to breakfast, do you think we are a couple?" Of?"
"That's different, you change the concept. I don't want to mess with Ji, I have someone I like." When Chang Lan mentioned "the person I like", she immediately became shy.
After school in the evening, Li Wan and I walked side by side on the road. Li Wan always noticed my worried look.
"You've been out of sorts today. Is there something wrong?"
I can't express my pain. What happened to me recently, I really want to tell my best friend, but I can't. I can't let her get involved.
I also suddenly remembered that another thing I was worried about was that I noticed that Li Wan had the kind of physique that could easily be possessed by ghosts.
"I'm fine. Have you had any dizziness or confusion lately?"
"No. By the way, are you and Han Wanting really not together?" Li Wan also started gossiping. You can't blame others for being curious. It seems very ambiguous for a boy to give a girl breakfast for no reason.
But I know in my heart that maybe I am now a key protection target of the underworld and may have some use value. Han Wanting's concern for me may not be out of his original intention, but because of his position. But I can't find the right words to explain.
Suddenly I had an idea: "Actually, he was apologizing to me. After all, he wronged me before and changed the letter to Xiang Zhichuan. You still remember, the letter I asked you to give to Xiang Zhichuan last time." "
"So that's it." Li Wan asked no more questions. As soon as we reached the first intersection, Li Wan and I waved and left in the direction of going home.
I have to keep moving forward. This familiar road actually makes me feel a little scared now. I don’t know if Xue Taisui has been waiting somewhere to catch me. My heart is full of helplessness and worry.
When I was approaching the intersection near my home, I almost bumped into someone walking towards me because I was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking about?" The man's voice was gentle and low, extremely familiar.
"You scared me to death! Can you please stop following me!" I looked up and saw Han Wanting looking down at me.
"I'm protecting you! I can't help the underworld's request. Is breakfast delicious?" He looked forward to my answer with a smile in his eyes.
"Although I appreciate you bringing me breakfast, please don't do it next time. I'm afraid of being misunderstood." I shrugged angrily.
He was startled and said aggrievedly: "Did it get discovered today? I obviously sent it very carefully."
"It was indeed discovered. Okay, I'm almost home now, am I safe?" I wanted to go home quickly to get rid of him.
"No, as long as you are alive, you will not be safe. But even if you die, you will not necessarily be safe." Han Wanting answered me seriously.
I knew he wasn't kidding me.
I fell into despair and asked, "What do you mean? Does Xue Taisu really want my life that much?"
He didn't answer me directly. My puzzled gaze met his fiery gaze, creating an inexplicable spark.
In a daze, my bracelet vibrated. This slight vibration seemed to touch my heart.
"It's windy outside, go back quickly. Xue Taisui won't come to you today." After Han Wanting said this, he fell silent.
I walked towards home without looking back. When she turned her back to him, tears welled up in her eyes. Why am I so unlucky...
Looking at the current situation, how long can the underworld protect me?
I was melancholy all night.
