Lu Yanbin looked at a certain idiot and was silent moment. Then, he went forward and pinched his chin while he looked around. âDo you feel uncomfortable?â
Yi Hang shook his hand off and asked curiously, âIâm doing great. Why would I be uncomfortable?â
Lu Yanbin calmly reminded, âYouâre possessing someone right now.â
Yi Hang, â=å£=â
Fuck! Thatâs right! Yi Hang stared wide-eyed and instantly went silly. His mind went blank and he even felt that in the next moment, he would become a wisp of smoke and disappear without a trace.
Lu Yanbin looked at him, âDidnât you think about this when you hung up these talismans?â
No...... Yi Hang looked at him with teary eyes and paused. He suddenly realized that a whole afternoon had passed. If his soul were to fly away, wouldnât that have happened much earlier? There was no need for the talismans to wait to work now. Plus the Taoist priest played with these things all day and was fine, wasnât he? If the one who offended God could continue to live, he should be able to as well! He quickly regained his senses, âThese things arenât useful against me okay? Letâs have dinner.â
Lu Yanbin looked at him anxiously, trying to make sure that he was alright. He touched his head, put the food on the table and asked him to come and sit down. After they had a simple meal and Yi Hang had taken a bath, Lu Yanbin went into the bathroom and saw that there were also yellow talismans everywhere, with messy symbols painted with cinnabar on them. They looked like weird bloody scribbles. He was silent for a moment before he took a calm bath and then went out in his pajamas.
Yi Hang took out a few talismans from the plastic bag and pasted them all over the sofa. All at once, he felt at ease, thinking that there was no need to be afraid of female ghosts and living corpses. He waved enthusiastically at a certain person, âLetâs watch a movie. Laozi wonât jump into your arms this time!â
Lu Yanbin looked at him and turned on his computer. Yi Hang looked at the screen firmly. A few minutes later, he lifted his pajamas to cover his head again. Then, he was quickly stripped. With his upper body naked, he picked up a talisman to cover his eyes but it was quickly snatched and thrown away. He continued to stick them with perseverance. Soon, all the talismans around him were used up. He was shaking in fear. Finally, he couldnât help but lower his head and picked up two amulets to stick on his eyelids. Lu Yanbin shook his hands off. âSame rules, if youâre afraid, come into my arms.â
âNo!â Yi Hang sat doggedly and suddenly saw a horrible face on the screen. He immediately screamed with fright and rushed to him angrily, âDamn it, it doesnât work!â
Lu Yanbin patted him on the back. âThe movie is just an act. Whatâs the use of buying these things?â
âIt gives me psychological comfort!â Yi Hang sat up straight and looked at the screen again. After a while, he couldnât stand it. âBig brother, can we stop watching?â
âYes,â Lu Yanbin nodded. âLetâs do it then.â
â...â Yi Hang turned away silently and continued to watch. Soon, with a scream of horror, Yi Hang turned and jumped into his arms again.
Lu Yanbin hugged him with satisfaction. âHave you gotten a sense of security from me?â
âYou wish! Isnât this all because you?!â Yi Hang collapsed in a heap and looked up at him. âBig brother, letâs watch something else. Letâs watch a romance movie. Itâs easy to cultivate feelings. Iâm telling you this way of pursuing me isnât going to work. Why donât you change to something else?â
âBut I think this method is very effective,â Lu Yanbin thought for a moment. âIf you donât like it, Iâll talk to my friends and have them come up with some other ideas.â
Yi Hang was about to cry. âThose friends of yours again? Big brother, they arenât normal ah. Why canât you listen to me? Youâre on earth, so you have to follow how humans behave, get it?â
Lu Yanbin ignored the nonsensical remarks in the back, but thought for a moment and looked at him. âIf I follow your suggestions, how soon can you fall in love and sleep with me? The time they gave me was less than a month, is it shorter than this?â
Yi Hang, â=å£=â
Lu Yanbin raised his eyebrows. âHmm?â
Yi Hang thought to himself, Laozi will not dig my own grave! He rubbed his face in frustration and steadied himself to watch the movie. After several screams, he finally successfully finished the movie. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that a certain someone was about to put on another movie. He quickly stopped him, âIâm tired. Iâm going to sleep.â
Lu Yanbin looked at the time. âItâs just over 9 oâclock.â
âIâm sleepy anyways.â Yi Hang was unmoved and got up to go to bed.
Lu Yanbin turned off his computer when he saw this and lay down in bed with him, âIâll hug you to sleep?â
Yi Hang grunted angrily, âNo need.â With so many talismans, he was sure he could sleep soundly tonight. His money wouldnât be wasted after all.
Lu Yanbin didnât force him. He calmly said, âLook at these things hanging on the window. Doesnât it look like the funeral home in the movie?â
Yi Hang: â=å£=â
âThe Heavenly Master was afraid that the living corpse would come out of the coffin, so the funeral home was covered in talismans, but the living corpses eventually came out anyways...â
âShut up!â Yi Hang shivered in fear.
âMmm, goodnight.â
Yi Hang huddled up, quivering and about to cry.
Lu Yanbin looked at him and asked again, âIâll hug you to sleep?â
Yi Hang struggled for a long time before finally turning over and silently shuffling towards him.
Qi Le didnât get Gu Bai to pick him up, but took the bus back alone. It was late at night and the cold wind blew on his face. He walked into the community and looked up at the apartment in front of him. He took a deep breath, decided to face the reality, and strode upstairs.
Gu Bai was just about to call Xiao Le and ask him where he was right now and whether he would come back tonight. Reflecting on what he did last night, he realized that he might have scared him away. He had been too impatient and should have taken it slow. As he was thinking, he saw the door suddenly open and got up. âHave you had dinner yet?â
