Chapter 97 – Bixian

The scene in front of them was extremely chaotic; Lying down and crying, everyone looked like they were on the verge of falling apart, with snot and tears all over their faces.

The ghost in white looked much more terrifying than what Xiao Chen saw before. It suffices to say, if the two of them had come one step later, the people in front of them would certainly be dead.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth, feeling complicated, with an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Gu Luming watched all this with cold eyes, and in the next second, diamond-shaped tool shaped like an awl were conjured out of thin air.

After letting go of Xiao Chen’s hand, he immediately teleported to stand behind the white-ghost, so quickly and quietly that no one had time to react.

The man’s face was cold, and with a fierce flash in his eyes, he stabbed the knife into the white ghost’s back without hesitation.

A brief crack appeared in the white ghost’s expression, and something green oozed out of the wound.

This was no ordinary weapon.

The moment the white ghost was stabbed, he loosened his restraint of Zhou Keyu because of the severe pain. With a ferocity beyond description, the shrill cry almost broke through the walls.

This cry sent chills down the spine of everyone present, as if a thousand bugs were scratching in their ears.

The white-clothed ghost’s body paused because of the pain. In the next second, her body turned 180 degrees, her face became extremely twisted. She stared at the man who stabbed her while she was off-guard with her white eyes.

The female ghost’s face was nauseatingly ugly. Her eyes rolled slyly, and they met the man’s cold eyes.

The man’s mouth curled upwards, and he quickly pulled the knife out of the white ghost’s waist with great speed.

The white ghost’s screams grew more horrific, and more and more green pus flowed from her waist.

And in a corner where no one could see, Gu Luming’s palms gathered a mass of black qi, directly aiming to attack the female ghost’s injured waist.

The female ghost, with a face full of rage due to her injuries, had a brief blank expression at the moment of the yīn qì gathered, which then turned into horror. As if realising something, she began to struggle crazily, trying to escape from the man’s confinement.

As for the seven people standing behind them, the girls had already covered her eyes, and the boys’ hearts sank suddenly, with fear on their faces.

From their point of view, what they could see was that the ghost in white suddenly went berserk, and the man stood quietly without any movement.

They could almost imagine that in the next second, the man in front of him would be torn to bits by the ghost, a blood splattered scene.

No matter how much the ghost in white struggled, everything she did was in vain.

It gritted its teeth, not knowing whether to welcome death home, still holding on to the mentality that even if it died, it would drag someone down to hell with him. Its bloody skull-like eye turned left and right, and immediately locked on to Xiao Chen standing behind the man.

It showed a chilling smile, stretching its arms out. It began to transform freely, its sharp claws were about to pierce the youth’s skin.

But before the female ghost’s hand actually touched the young man, the man’s gloomy face suddenly became terrifying, even more sinister. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a moment, and his body began to emit yīn qì all over.

For some unknown reason, even the lightning and thunder that continuously flared and raged in the sky disappeared without a trace.

It was as if the frightened eyes of the seven people were covered by a black cloth, there was only darkness. They could not see the surrounding scene at all, nor did they know the struggle between the man and the white ghost.

Gu Luming looked like he was insane. His grey eyes were bloodshot, and inexplicably, two streams of red blood began to flow out of his eyes.

He cut off the white-clothed ghost’s hand that wanted to hurt the young man, and then let out a sneer, like a condemnation from hell. In the next second, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and began to mercilessly attack the white-clothed ghost.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Chen froze in place, at a loss.

The people around could only hear the frightening screams of the ghost in white, but they couldn’t see the scene clearly.

Their hearts were all curious and yet full of fear.

Xiao Chen was frightened, his eyes fixed on the white and black shadows fighting in front of him. He burned with anxiety, fearing that the man would be injured and would be at a disadvantage.

He would rather die by himself than go through losing Gu Luming again.

It was the kind of pain that was more difficult than dying. He finally got him back, and he couldn’t lose him a second time.

Every attack by the black shadow skillfully stabbed the fatal points of the white-clothed ghost, making it impossible for her to hide or escape.

The white ghost’s yīn qì also began to dissipate little by little, so much so that her body couldn’t sustain its shape.

The black shadow smiled darkly, and under the horrified gaze of the white ghost, opened his mouth like a giant toad and swallowed the other person into his stomach in one bite, chewing carefully.

After the black shadow devoured the white-clothed ghost, he stood still and burped with a full stomach. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, his whole body freezing. He then nervously turned his head to look at Xiao Chen behind him, who was staring at him with burning eyes.

He had just forgotten that Xiao Chen could now clearly see his current appearance.

The black shadow couldn’t help but panic.

Was he ugly like this?

He had just devoured the white-clothed ghost, did that scene scare him?

The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he was. The shadow felt a bit uneasy, and even froze in place, not daring to to move. He even forgot to change back to human form.

Seeing that he was not injured, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and walked up to the man, calmly staring at this dark face with its unseen facial features.

The black shadow finally reacted, and returned to human form again in the next second. He wrapped his arms around Xiao Chen’s waist in a panic and held him in his arms.

Xiao Chen touched the hair on his head with his hand, and just like coaxing a frightened child, he patted it gently.

“Well done!”

The man breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The people at the side who couldn’t see anything realised that the sound had stopped, and felt a burst of distress.

Before they could react, the weather around them unexpectedly brightened. What was even more incredible was that the people who were still breathing in the corridor shockingly found that they were still in Dorm 404, and had never left at all. It was as if everything they had just experienced was just a pipe dream.

And the only face showed malevolence, the only one who still weeped endlessly was He Lei, who remained with a fractured arm.

Everyone looked at her with a disdain.

Selfish.

After what she had done, it was kindness not to give her both fists and kick with both feet.

No matter how she begged for help from the sidelines, the bitterly disappointed people were all unwilling to help her.

Zhou Keyu came to his senses, looked around in disbelief, and finally locked his eyes on the strange man and Xiao Chen who appeared from nowhere.

Xiao Chen and the man are hugging together in an extremely friendly manner, that even a steel straight man like Zhou Keyu could see -with some hindsight- that the two in front of him seem to be a pair.

“Xiao Chen!” Zhang Hui shouted in shock, his eyes brimming with doubts.

It was unknown whether he was in shock because of the lingering alarm of seeing a ghost before, or because he saw Xiao Chen being very intimate with a man.

Xiao Chen let go of the man, easily capturing his five fingers without shying away. He looked up at the man’s smiling eyes, and then said frankly, “This is my boyfriend, his name is Gu Luming, he was the one who saved you just now.”

Zhou Keyu and Wang Jiahao were still lying on the ground, they stood up with some difficulty. The strangle marks on Zhou Keyu’s neck had not disappeared, and his heart was still pounding non-stop because of what had happened.

Looking at the mess around them, everyone could clearly perceive that what happened before was real, and not a dream.

The girls, because they had gotten another chance to live, cried even harder and hugged each other. They didn’t know whether they were more happy or more terrified after the fright they went through.

Zhou Keyu directly grasped the key point of the matter, gritted his teeth and asked eagerly, “Will that ghost continue to haunt us?”

That was also something everyone wanted to know.

Was that white ghost scared away temporarily or would it never come again?

The man laughed with disdain, but most of it was cold, killing intent.

Thi killing intent was not aimed at Zhou Keyu, but it made the latter shudder startle slightly.

There grew an indescribable fear, more than the horror from seeing a female ghost before.

Knowing the whole process, Xiao Chen helped the man by answering directly, “She will not bother you again.”

Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Wang Jiahao, who had been staring at the man’s face in a daze, cried out in belated realisation and exclaimed, “You’re Gu Luming?”

His exclamation not only attracted the attention of the man and Xiao Chen, but also made everyone present look at him.

Even Xiao Chen was a little surprised.

But Wang Jiahao shoved Zhou Keyu violently and explained in a hurry, “Did you forget? The last time we dragged Xiao Chen to drink. Who would have thought Xiao Chen would pour a single cup and still get absolutely wasted? And he would keep shouting loudly on the main road all by himself, and the name he kept shouting was Gu Luming, ah, no, you remember it yourself. ”

Wang Jiahao’s explanation roused the memories of Zhou Keyu and Zhang Hui. The two glanced at each other and nodded.

And their dialogue also succeeded in making Xiao Chen’s face burn to the colour of a crayfish.

He even scratched his palm in embarrassment.

The man’s eyelids twitched. His eyes, originally full of coldness because of the white-clothed ghost, slowly softened. He stared at Xiao Chen, whose face was completely red.

Actually, he remembered it as well.

It was still summer, and he could only follow Xiao Chen secretly in the form of a shadow.

That day Xiao Chen had gotten drunk, his face flushed deep red. He was undoubtedly an extremely sensible person, but on the main road, he cried loudly without the slightest regard for his appearance, and frantically called out his name.

The group of people in the dormitory used the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to wrangle him back to the dormitory, and then threw him on the bed. In that half-drowsy and half-asleep state, tears still flowed furiously, and his expression was so full of suffering that he wished he could beat himself to death.

Before that, he’d even thought that Xiao Chen had already come out of those shadows and had long forgotten him.

Although he was unwilling, he hoped that Xiao Chen would live well if he could.

But on that day, he finally realised that this person in front of him, the one he had loved deeply for so many years, had been hiding away the memories of the two of them deep down, all this time. Never had forgotten, nor will ever forget.

It was masochistic, not daring to forget, constantly thinking about it, so much that it was torturing himself.

Thinking of it, the man gripped Xiao Chen’s hand tightly.

It was at that time that he finally realised that their hearts had always been connected.

This whole ridiculous play had a happy ending.

But Zhou Keyu, from beginning to end, didn’t smile a bit, nor was he complacent because he survived.

They did survive, but their friends Chen Liu and Yuan Daqiang really died.

This pain was a sin that he cannot redeem in his life.

That night, Xiao Chen did not return to the dorm.

Instead, with the man’s help, he rented a room outside the school and arranged it into a small love nest for the two of them.

Xiao Chen softly rested in the man’s arms. The man rested one hand on his waist, and made the other a pillow for Xiao Chen to rest against, while easily holding a bowl of fruit.

The young man held the book in his hands, carefully reading its content. Like before, he thought of reading this story to the man, like coaxing a child who refused to sleep.

The man turned his head and kissed beneath the young man’s ears, nibbling quietly.

Xiao Chen, who was so absorbed in reading the book, became agitated and could no longer completely concentrate on its content.

He flung his head to the side and tried to glare at the man, but the other caught him, closing the gap and kissed him.

Xiao Chen gently pushed against the man, trying to break free.

Instead, the hands shackling his waist tightened further and even started to move naughtily.

By the time Xiao Chen came to his senses, his book had already been thrown on the floor, and the man had pressed him down.

The two were like eggs that had been peeled of their shells, they trusted each other fully.

Xiao Chen had always been seen as a frigid person, and he knew little about this subject.

He had thought that the most two men could do together was kiss and hug each other to ease their desires, so after struggling a bit, he let the man touch him.

When the man really did something he shouldn’t have, Xiao Chen’s face finally changed. He trembled with fear, and asked, panicked, “Are you sure it’s like this?”

Xiao Chen was really afraid of pain.

The man naturally knew what the other was afraid of, smiled, and said softly, “Just leave everything to me.”

Finishing his words, the man sealed Xiao Chen’s mouth with his, and sunk into pleasure together.

The youth also slowly began to accept the initial discomfort and pain. Altogether, he enjoyed it.

For a long time, everything was silent.

“Baby, I really really, love you so much.” Xiao Chen was dazed and heard someone talking to him. The voice was soft and quiet, but indescribably reassuring.

Xiao Chen moved, his voice a bit choked up and tired, “Me too.”

Gentle laughter, indulgent and loving, filled the air.

The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahahaha, I’m here. There is a side story and an additional world, don’t worry.
