Chapter 213 Tell the origin
Chapter 213 Tell the origin
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he felt the pair of iron arms around his waist loosen a little, and the strength became weaker, but he was still held in the man's arms.
"I've searched everywhere in the house, even the bed, but I couldn't find you..." the man said sullenly, his low voice filled with deep grievance and fear.
Despite being so big, he insisted on curling up in the arms of someone who was smaller than him. He looked pitiful, just like a big dog afraid of being abandoned.
Seeing that he not only did not ask himself why he appeared out of nowhere, but also did not feel afraid or frightened of himself, Xia Mo's heart, which had been beating wildly and almost jumping out of his chest, calmed down in an instant.
He hugged the man, and the corners of his mouth rose little by little.
"Silly boy, a man as good as Brother Chuan is hard to find even with a lantern. How can I be willing to leave without saying a word? Unless you chase me away..."
“No!” The man raised his head and denied it immediately, “Even if you are a mountain elf or a wild monster, I will never let you go.”
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Xia Mo laughed softly.
I didn't expect that his brother Chuan has such a rich imagination. I couldn't help but want to tease him.
So Xia Mo raised his eyes and did not deny it: "If I were a mountain spirit or a wild monster, wouldn't you be afraid of me sucking your energy away?"
The man pursed his thin lips, which were imprinted with a faint moonlight, loosened one hand, stepped back a little, then lifted the boy's chin, and stared at him motionlessly with his dark eyes.
Xia Mo's back was supported by the other person's big hand and his chin was pinched, so he could only raise his head to look at the other person's face.
"Don't be afraid. Whether it's absorbing essence or absorbing yang energy, anything is possible as long as you stay by my side." Ling Chuan said sincerely.
When Xia Mo heard this, he was moved but also a little amused. Sucking essence was fine, but what the hell was this sucking yang energy?
Wow, tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that his brother Chuan actually has the intention of dying under the peony flowers and becoming a romantic ghost.
For a moment, Xia Mo's little brain was thinking something wrong, and he couldn't help but chuckle, and his starry eyes filled with flowing light were even more bright and charming.
"What are you thinking? I am a human being, just like you."
The man's black eyes were angry and his gaze was heavy. He didn't say anything. Xia Mo couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
"Really? Touch my hands. They are warm."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, grasped the man's hand that was pinching his chin, and blinked, "How is it? Is it warm?"
Ling Chuan let him hold it and stared at him for a long while before saying "hmm", but his eyes were still fixed on him with no intention of moving away.
Xia Mo secretly sighed, thinking that it would be useless for them to remain in this stalemate. It would be better for them to go inside and sit down to talk it out. After all, sticking your head out and shrinking your head would be like a knife...
Well, it doesn't seem right to say that. After all, Brother Chuan is talented, bold, and has avant-garde ideas. His attitude shows that he is not afraid at all.
"Brother Chuan, let's go inside and talk?" Xia Mo asked tentatively.
"Okay." Ling Chuan moved his lips and agreed.
Although he let go of Xia Mo, his eyes were still fixed on him, without blinking, as if the other person would disappear if he blinked.
Xia Mo also knew that the man was frightened by her, so she did not let go of the hand she was holding and just pulled the man towards the room.
He didn't look back, but kept talking about his shameful thoughts in the past.
"I've kept this in my heart for a long time, especially when you called me Ze'er, my heart felt sweet and bitter, but I didn't dare to tell you the truth, for fear that you would be afraid of me..."
Ling Chuan let the little brother lead him, his eyes as deep as an icy pond staring at him without blinking, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid."
"Yeah, now I know, so don't go back on your word after I finish talking, or I'll beat you up."
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he just walked to the door, so he turned around, bared his teeth at the man, and acted like he was very fierce.
Seeing this, the man's cold face finally changed, and his jawline was no longer so tense.
"Don't regret it. Watch the road." He drooped his eyelids and glanced at the threshold at the boy's feet behind him to remind him, fearing that the other party was so busy talking that he forgot to tiptoe.
Xia Mo grinned, as if he had received a guarantee, and the last bit of uneasiness in his heart was swept away.
"I'm watching."
After saying that, she pulled the person inside excitedly, eager to tell the man everything.
I want to tell him that I am Xia Mo;
I wanted to tell him that I had just been redeemed.
Ze Ge'er was fine in a place where he couldn't see, he didn't owe him anything, he didn't take over his position...
Xia Mo was full of ventriloquy, but after sitting down, under the man's fixed gaze, he was a little tongue-tied...
I feel a little weak when you stare at me like that.
But the arrow is on the string and must be shot, especially since the man is still waiting for him.
So Xia Mo subconsciously glanced at his hand which was held by the man, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "Actually, I'm not the real Ze Ge'er, my real name is Xia Mo."
"It's Xia for summer, Mo for ink." After introducing myself, Xia Mo was afraid that the man might misunderstand something else, so she added dryly.
"This body is Ze'er's, yes, but he gave it to me the night before you came to pick me up. And I am just a ghost from another world who has followed him for more than ten years."
Ling Chuan remained calm. He could see that the boy was getting nervous again. "So you are the one who will marry me."
Xia Mo nodded like crazy: "Yeah! It's me, it's me!"
Ling Chuan felt relieved, but asked, "What is a ghost?"
Xia Mo opened his mouth and his eyes were a little evasive.
"A Piao... A Piao is a ghost. It is another name for the dead in my hometown."
He deliberately emphasized the word "人", but he didn't know that in the other person's ears, the word "死" was the loudest.
The man's heart suddenly tightened and he felt a pain. The hand he was holding tightened unconsciously. He couldn't be as calm and relaxed as the young man.
"Mo'er, how...did you die?" Ling Chuan asked with difficulty, changing the way he addressed her to follow suit.
When Xia Mo heard this, he narrowed his eyes and didn't think there was anything he couldn't say about the cause of his death.
"Car accident. Cars are a form of transportation in our area. They are very similar to horse-drawn carriages here, but they are very fast."
As Xia Mo explained, he saw the distress on the man's face, and couldn't help but smile at him: "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt, really, the car was going very fast, death is just a matter of a second, I didn't even react."
"Really?" Aren't you lying to him?
"Of course it's true. Not long after I regained consciousness, I came here inexplicably." Well... he seemed to have pointed to a book with his extra hand, but that doesn't matter.
The man stopped talking again, his brows furrowed.
Xia Mo felt that this atmosphere was a bit heavy, so she gave the man a meaningful smile.
Then he said mischievously: "Brother Chuan, aren't you afraid that I will be an old man in my seventies or eighties? Or extremely ugly?"
After Xia Mo finished speaking, the man's expression froze and he was stunned.
“Hahahaha…you really believed it…”
Xia Mo laughed out loud.
Suddenly, he also felt that being a ghost was not scary, what was scary was that it was an old and frustrated ghost.
Xia Mo laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, and tears came out.
Ling Chuan looked helpless, knowing that he was being teased by the young man again, but he still expressed his true thoughts.
"I've already married her. If my Mo'er is really like this, I'll accept it. After a few decades, I'll eventually grow old."
