At night, the bustling city is already a brightly lit scene, with various colors of neon lights intertwined and blended in the sky, and the streamers continue to fly and flow, forming a colorful painting of light and shadow over the city.

In the city, it seems that there is no concept of night, and people no longer work at sunrise and rest at sunset, on the contrary, many young people choose to come out at night to have fun, which is called "enjoy life".

At ten o'clock, the nightlife has just begun, the bustling streets are full of people, heels touching toes, and endless crowds of people are heading towards their destinations, going to have supper, shopping, getting drunk, singing K, going to Internet cafes all night. All kinds of people live in this world in their own way.

Ji Xingchen is no exception.

Ji Xingchen, seventeen years old, male, slender and thin, although he was born relatively handsome, but his personality is extremely withdrawn.

Ten years, no, eleven years have passed since his parents left him when he was seven years old, because the day his parents died was his birthday, and tomorrow will be his eighteenth birthday.

Speaking of which, Ji Xingchen was born on the day of the Qingming Festival, but the Qingming Festival was very abnormal, the previous Qingming Festival was drizzling and the weather was gloomy, but on the day he was born, the Qingming Festival was unusually a sunny day, a cloudless sunny day!

And when Ji Xingchen was born, there was a jade pendant tied around his neck, which was a very delicate jade pendant, the texture was very pure, and it was abnormally hard, Ji Xingchen's parents tried to remove the jade pendant many times, but they failed.

Once, when Ji Xingchen's parents took him back to his hometown to visit his elders, he met an old Taoist elder in his hometown, and the old Taoist told Ji Xingchen's parents that the jade pendant was given by Taishang Laojun, and it was engraved with a map of the Nine Heavens Star, so it was named, Ji Xingchen.

But Ji Xingchen's parents don't believe in ghosts and gods very much, and they just took that name to obey the old man's wishes, on the contrary, Ji Xingchen's grandparents believe it very much, and keep saying something like "Ji Xingchen is the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor's grandson Ling Tian" and "Ji Xingchen will restore the Xuanyuan clan", but no one took it to heart.

Although their family has declined, they used to be one of the best in China, a big family that calls for wind and rain, and when it came to Ji Xingchen's grandfather's generation, the family began to decline, decline, and finally fall apart, but his family still has thousands of assets, and the money left by Ji Xingchen's parents is enough for Ji Xingchen to live for a lifetime.

In Ji Xingchen's memory, he was always very happy when he was a child, his parents were always by his side, and there was a nanny who loved him very much, and his own IQ was still very high, and he had already completed all the courses from elementary school to high school by himself at the age of six.

But because of the death of his parents when he was seven years old, Ji Xingchen became more and more withdrawn, didn't say a word, and didn't want to study anymore, he began to stay at home, didn't want to go anywhere, and even had to eat at the nanny to his door, and after the nanny left, he took it into the bedroom to eat.

In this regard, the nanny is also very helpless, the nanny Li Yun is a middle-aged woman who is almost forty, she worked as a nanny for Ji Xingchen's family more than ten years ago, and she also watched Ji Xingchen grow up. Out of trust, Ji Xingchen's parents revealed the password of their bank card to her and handed it over to her for safekeeping. Until now, the only people who know the password of that bank card are Ji Xingchen and Li Yun. Because of the trust of Ji Xingchen's parents, Li Yun has been taking care of Ji Xingchen's home and taking care of Ji Xingchen all these years.

Tomorrow is Ji Xingchen's birthday, Li Yun knocked lightly on Ji Xingchen's bedroom door.

"Xingchen, tomorrow is your eighteenth birthday, do you want to celebrate?"

There was silence in the room, and no one responded.

Li Yun sighed.

"Xingchen, I know that the departure of your parents makes you very sad, but people must always look forward to life, we can't always indulge in the grief of the past. ”

Li Yun paused and said with a little sadness.

"Besides, it's been ten years, and you're already an adult, so don't keep immersing yourself in your little world, okay?"

There was still silence in the room, a deathly silence.

"Xingchen?" Li Yun knocked lightly on the door again, "Xingchen, are you inside?"

Li Yun was in a hurry, and kept knocking on the bedroom door, and suddenly, the bedroom door opened from the inside with a "bang". It was Ji Xingchen who opened the door.

The sudden opening of the door startled Li Yun, and she took a few steps back, the Ji Xingchen in front of her was not at all the same as the innocent, cute, intelligent and sensible Ji Xingchen in her impression, this was the first time Li Yun had carefully looked at Ji Xingchen in ten years.

Unkempt hair, bloodshot eyes, pale and haggard face, thin and slender body, the only thing that hasn't changed is the glowing jade pendant on the neck, and the temperament emanating from the eyebrows.

Li Yun steadied herself and was about to speak.

"Is there something wrong?"

The cold words seeped into Li Yun's eardrums. This is the first time Li Yun has seen Ji Xingchen's appearance in several years.

"That, I'm ......"

"If it's okay, I'll go in first, birthday or something......" Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in Ji Xingchen's eyes, "But that's fine." ”

With that, he turned around and wanted to close the door.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yun grabbed Ji Xingchen and didn't let him close the door.

Ten years, Li Yun doesn't know how many times she knocked on the door, and every time she got a response, it was endless silence, and finally Ji Xingchen opened the door, and he couldn't let him continue to be depressed!

But Ji Xingchen's strength was unusually large, and Li Yun's hand was almost caught by the door.

Ji Xingchen looked back impatiently, and the corners of his mouth twitched sickly.

"I said, I'm just some goddamn birthday, please let go!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Xingchen tore Li Yun's hand away and slammed the door shut.

Li Yun froze in place, and after a while, she gently knocked on Ji Xingchen's door again.

Suddenly, the door was torn open by a huge force, and Li Yun felt a gust of wind pass through her body.

"Are you finished?!"

Ji Xingchen frowned, and asked Li Yun sharply.

"That...... Even if it's not your birthday, tomorrow is your parents' memorial day, and you should go and see them......"

Li Yun's voice became smaller and smaller, and she was almost inaudible, she lowered her head and twisted her apron with her hands uneasily, like a child who had made a mistake, waiting for an adult to punish her.

"Okay, okay, I'll go see them, I'll go see them now! After that, you pack up your things and get out of this house for me! I don't need mercy from others! I didn't need mercy before, and I don't need it now!"

After that, Ji Xingchen rushed out of the gate like a fly, and then closed the door viciously, making a loud "bang".

"Alas, do you know where it is......" Li Yun looked at Ji Xingchen's back and reminded him, but Ji Xingchen had already gone away.

"Alas......"

Li Yun sighed alone, a few crystal tears on her cheeks.

For so many years, she has been silently taking care of this home, trying to make it look clean, tidy, and harmonious, but after so many years of worrying, it still hasn't moved Ji Xingchen.

Li Yun wiped her tears from the corner of her clothes, then took her mobile phone, locked the door, and went out to find Ji Xingchen.

At this moment, it is half past ten o'clock in the evening, and the night has already fallen, and the colorful lights in the sky are still constantly flowing and dancing, reflecting the original dark night in all colors.

As soon as Ji Xingchen went out, the streamer quickly distorted, forming several hideous faces in the sky, but no one noticed it at all.

The atmosphere became a little eerie, and the air gradually became cold and solidified, becoming a little suffocating.

Li Yun looked at the moon in the sky and muttered: "Tomorrow will be Qingming, why is the weather still as ...... as winter?"

As she spoke, Li Yun pulled her collar and quickened her steps.

But Li Yun didn't realize that the moon was actually a full moon, and it was overflowing with wisps of red light, a blood-red light that made people palpitate!

It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
