When Qin Jiuyuan never dreamed that she would have to help children write their summer homework after living for half her life, Qiu Xuan was changing the gauze on her right wrist and sitting in the other corner of the study, she looked at her phone with a somewhat tangled expression, and didn't know how to reply to the chattering Wu Hengyu for a while.

Wu Hengyu: After I went back, I thought about it carefully for a long time, and I seem to understand what you mean by 'believing is reasonable', and now I am practicing hard, and I think I am very talented.

Wu Hengyu: By the way, did you help me ask, can I fall in love?

Qiu Xuan: ...... Your love bird is dead.

Wu Hengyu: Ah, no, Sang Wanning has a boyfriend! Why, I hate!!

Qiu Xuan: ...... No, it's really dead.

Wu Hengyu: What do you mean?

Qiu Xuan: ...... [Image]

Wu Hengyu: ......

In order not to completely break the heart of a teenager of this age, Qiu Xuan also specially selected a slightly better-looking and less scary photo in the on-site autopsy report and sent it out. But it didn't make any real difference.

Sure enough, there was no reply from the other side.

Sighing unexpectedly, Qiu Xuan put down her phone and rubbed her eyes.

Could the "thing" that killed Sang Wanning be the Tooth Fairy? Because Qiu Xuan didn't open his eyes that night, he naturally didn't know the form of the tooth fairy. But the deformed and distorted black shadow that Sang Wanning came from before she died obviously didn't match the traditional tooth fairy, not to mention who the new human tooth she was holding in her hand belonged to.

The plan to summon the Tooth Immortal while Qin Nanxun came over was actually only a small test, because Qiu Xuan was not 100% sure that the theory of "belief is existence" was completely correct. The success of that experiment exceeded expectations, and she inadvertently let her know that Qin Nanxun also belonged to one of those small groups.

Belonging to that "small group of people" is never an easy task. It's like you're still oscillating between the proposition that there are ghosts in this world, but those who believe in it have long since come to see it as a universal truth equivalent to "there is oxygen in this world." Very few people can really abandon the "truth" that the public believes to find another way, so Qin Nanxun really surprised her.

It's just that I thought that the tooth fairy could only be regarded as a digression, but I didn't expect the weird tooth to appear again.

Are you going to try to meet the Tooth Fairy again tonight? But this time it wasn't necessarily that lucky. Qiu Xuan tapped her fingers twice through her pocket, completely lost in her own contemplation.

“…… Let the 'guardians' do their homework and play with their phones by themselves? Don't you think you're a little too much, kid. On the other desk, the man spoke lightly on his wrist, which had begun to pantothenic.

"My right hand is injured." Qiu Xuan looked at him with a straight face, "And I was frightened, and I haven't recovered yet." ”

"Then can I slow down when I'm done writing this set of papers?"

"Slow it down by half."

"I've done all the papers?"

"It's almost over."

"Okay."

Qiu Xuan leaned on the table with her head in her left hand, and looked at the person who was always dressed in a straight suit sitting at the desk seriously and writing her high school homework. Her fingertips dotted on the dark lines on the outside of the ring, and light and shadow staggered on it, like the pure black brand of light and shadow on his left knuckle.

The phone, which had been silent for a long time, finally vibrate.

Wu Hengyu: Did you ...... "those things"?

It seems that his ability to adapt to the situation is quite good, Qiu Xuan thought about it, and returned: Yes, I'm sorry too. And in that case, I won't ask you to do anything anymore, you can choose for yourself the path you want to take in the future.

There was silence for a while.

Wu Hengyu: If I continue to follow the original plan, will you live?

Qiu Xuan: What?

The mobile phone vibrated dozens of seconds later, and it was a voice message from Wu Hengyu. The young man's voice trembled visibly, obviously looking like he had just finished crying, but it was extremely sonorous and powerful.

"If I keep going the way I planned, you'll be fine, you'll always be alive, right?" He said, "Sang Wanning also died because she 'could see', and so did you...... Qiu Xuan, the dead have died, and those who are still alive must always remember them and live well. I couldn't save her...... But if you give me a life, it will be regarded as me begging you, for Sang Wanning, begging you to live! ”

The "......" voice stopped automatically after playing, Qiu Xuan held the mobile phone, and the young man's crying seemed to linger in his ears. I was ready to give up this "planned goal", but I didn't expect to get such an answer in the end.

Qiu Xuan apologized to Wu Hengyu in her heart, and finally only replied: I will.

The conversation was briefly interrupted at this point, and Qiu Xuan looked at the same bright scenery that Sang Wanning had seen before she died, with complicated thoughts. And behind her, Qin Jiuyuan didn't know when he stopped the movements in his hand, and looked at her position with the same heavy gaze, a void, as if there was some invisible magnetic field trembling in the room.

In the afternoon, in the Qin family, Qiu Xuan's small room.

"Hey, little mute, have you finished your homework, borrow me to copy it." Du Ruo sat on her bed dangling her legs at all, and opened her mouth to spew out a beautiful smoke ring at her.

Qiu Xuan took a step forward with a calm face and snatched Du Ruo's cigarette, and after snuffing it out, he threw it into the trash can, a set of skillful movements made Du Ruo stunned, and sat and blinked at her.

"Smoke less." Qiu Xuan said, "Don't smoke in front of me." ”

“…… You've been a bit bold lately. ”

Qiu Xuan didn't hear it, and casually transferred a copy of the answer sent by Wu Hengyu to Du Ruo. "Take it, is there anything else?"

The prompt sounded, but Du Ruo was still and did not move. After a while, her eyes narrowed, and her left hand subconsciously took out the cigarette in her pocket, but she put it back as if she thought of something.

"Little mute...... Do you know the story of the Tooth Fairy? ”

Why, is she willing to take the initiative to talk about clues? Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows, and said quietly: "I've heard a little, but I don't know the specifics, what's wrong?" ”

"Still pretending to be stupid, how could you not know." Du Ruo sneered, "Isn't it the Tooth Fairy who was in your room that day?" ”

Du Ruo can also see it!

Why are the people in this family rushing to walk the wrong way one by one, Qiu Xuan blinked, but still didn't speak: "In my room, how is it possible?" Qin Nanxun came to visit that night, and then he didn't know what he saw and suddenly went crazy. ”

"That old brute is still harassing you."

“…… You know? ”

"It's so obvious that no one can see it, it's just that Bai Wei is still deceiving herself." Without a cigarette, Du Ruo grabbed a handful of his hair irritably, and suddenly glared at Qiu Xuan viciously. "You listen to the little mute, I won't take care of your business, whether it's Qin Nanxun or Qin Jiuyuan, whatever you do, you really can't see 'those things' or pretend, it has nothing to do with me. However, don't provoke Qin Xiao, do you hear? When the old thing is dead, and there is no one to count the marriage contract between you, then you will leave this house for me, far away. ”

"Why should I listen to you?"

！！

Before the words fell, Qiu Xuan's eyes widened violently, and a resentful cold aura stretched straight down her ankles and crawled up, and her whole person froze in place as if she was frozen and unable to move. A small, white and thin hand touched her neck, and the palm that obviously belonged to a child was wrapped in resentment and coldness that had not changed for thousands of years, and was about to pierce her bone marrow down the flesh.

"Why don't you have a long memory?"

Du Ruo sighed and slowly circled around Qiu Xuan, as if admiring the tragic scene of the prey struggling and doing nothing. "I'll ask you again now. Don't come to provoke Qin Xiao, the old thing will move out of the Qin family after he dies, you know? ”

“…… Good. ”

"It would have been better if it had been done earlier." Du Ruo patted her shoulder appreciatively, withdrew it along her wrist, and the cold and ghostly aura immediately penetrated into her cuffs and disappeared. Du Ruo walked out of the room, and Qiu Xuan finally sat on the bed with a sigh of relief, not even wanting to recall the feeling that was more terrible than near-death.

…… It turned out that the person who raised the little ghost was Du Ruo.

"Ruoruo, go out to play, we made an appointment with someone from No. 1 Middle School to play a ball game!" After a while, the door was opened again, and a head poked in and searched around, and when he saw that he did not find the person he was looking for, he frowned a little.

"What about Du Ruo?" Qin Xiao walked in, sat down on the only bed skillfully, and patted her unhappily when he saw that Qiu Xuan was still immersed in the previous bone-chilling coldness and did not speak. "I'm talking to you, what are you thinking, Du Ruo, I just saw her coming to you. By the way, have you finished your homework, borrow me to copy it. ”

Qiu Xuan: "I don't know, I didn't think about anything, I left, I didn't do it." ”

"Hey, you're making a face with me here?" Qin Xiao's thick eyebrows were raised high, and his tone was an octave sharp because of disbelief. "Why, now I'm capable, right, it's not the same to have a relationship with my dad."

Qiu Xuan really doesn't have time or mood to pay attention to this problem boy who doesn't seem to be very smart now, just one Du Ruo is enough for her. And at present, it seems that Qin Xiao is not completely hopeless, and he can't take revenge on him in the same way as he did with Qin Nanxun. So she sat in place and looked at Qin Xiao very calmly, suddenly took a deep breath and shouted loudly upstairs, "Qin Jiuyuan——!! ”

Qin Xiao: "??? ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Is the wound inflamed? Barely a few breaths later, the man hurried downstairs, still holding a familiar pen with a rabbit hanging on it, apparently forcibly summoned while still on the way to do his homework.

Qiu Xuan pointed to Qin Xiao, who obviously didn't expect this move and fell into stiffness: "He made a face to me." ”

Qin Xiao: What are you talking about??

Qin Jiuyuan: "After all the homework is done, you are making trouble here?" Qin Xiao, why do you have nothing to do in someone else's room, and dare to put a stinky face on the original owner of the room, Steward Xie will teach you this every day? Why don't you go back to your room and do your homework. ”

Qin Xiao: "......"

Qiu Xuan (contrived): "Oh, forget it, Brother Xiao didn't mean it, don't talk about him like that." ”

Qin Jiuyuan: "You take back the two words starting with G for me." He turned to the young man who had fallen into complete silence: "Heh, Qin Xiao, now you have a long ability, right?" In that case, you can stay at home for me until school starts, and don't let me catch you sneaking out. ”

It was only now that Qiu Xuan knew why Yang Luoluo liked to talk like this. She watched the young man with a sagging brow walk out of the door like a lost dog, obviously unconvinced, but didn't dare to say anything. Taking a deep breath, he barely stopped the smile that had overflowed his lips.

It's really cool to talk like this!

"Enough fun?" It's not really unreasonable, Qin Jiuyuan turned his head a little helplessly to look at Qiu Xuan who was sitting on the bed. "Next time, don't be so startled, I'm so scared that I really think something happened to you."

"Don't worry, if something happens, I'll turn into 'those things' and come back to you." Qiu Xuan deliberately scares him half-truthfully, as if to alleviate his real and powerless fear when he is targeted by the resentful spirit.

The person on the other side just shook his head helplessly. Even if he was dressed in home clothes, it was all black, and he looked solemn and difficult to do, but he still held the pen with a little rabbit in his hand.

Eventually, the man said.

"Don't be afraid." He said, "There's nothing to be afraid of, little girl. ”

Qiu Xuan froze in place, and for a moment he almost doubted that he remembered everything that had happened before. But the man just looked at her with a pair of familiar and obviously unfamiliar eyes, and said, "Is it Qin Xiao that they bullied you, what do you have to tell me, do you know?" ”

Big brother, it's useless to tell you. No matter how fierce you look, you can't directly scare the ghost to death, Qiu Xuan sighed secretly, and stepped forward to pull him out of the door. "Alright, it's almost over, let's eat."

When dinner began after taking a seat, Qiu Xuan realized that Bai Wei had not come except for the grandmother who had never eaten with everyone. Qin Nanxun, who had obviously become much haggard and weaker after two nights, explained that Bai Wei didn't go home for dinner because she had made an appointment to go shopping.

Towards the end of dinner, Qin Jiuyuan whispered something to the gloomy butler on the side. Although the butler's expression was strange when he heard the order, he nodded and signaled that he would do so.

said that it was a low voice, in fact, after everyone could hear the order "don't let Qin Xiao go out before school started", they couldn't help but guess in their hearts whether there was any argument between the father and son.

Qin Xiao stood up suddenly, his chair dragging on the ground with a screeching sound. Then the young man looked at the people on the long table with a calm face, and went upstairs without saying a word.
