The twenty-third edge is a childhood sweetheart
But as soon as the emotion ended, Tang Yuanyuan suddenly remembered another thing:
"By the way, where are you going to stay on earth next?"
"Your home."
This time, Yi Huai responded without the slightest hesitation, and his tone was taken for granted.
"Huh?" Tang Yuanyuan was stunned as if he had heard a joke.
"It stands to reason that before you are proficient in maintaining the ability to hold the soul contract, if we are separated for too long, it will cause wear and tear on the souls of both parties. You are the one who makes the contract, and it is my duty to protect you, and you have abundant spiritual power, and staying by your side is conducive to the recovery of my strength..... Besides, with your current situation, it is a huge spiritual power source tonic exposed under the noses of countless ghosts, and it is too dangerous to stay alone..."
Yi Huai said this for a moment, and then said:
"If you die too early and keep reincarnating, it's very soul-wrenching, I don't want to follow you and scatter your soul early...."
When Tang Yuanyuan heard the last sentence, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in his heart, I really thank you for cursing me so much.
At this moment, she deeply realized what it means to find something to do for herself.
"I see... I understand. She sighed lightly in response, and while she felt in her heart that she really had to think twice about her impulsive behavior, she punched and kicked Xun in her heart, and said that she was still on the thief ship.
Yi Huai looked at her sighing appearance and curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "What, regret it?" Regret saving me? ā
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, looking down at the small ball of golden light floating in his palm, which was Tang Yuanyuan's spiritual power soul knot, and after a moment he stopped again, and the ball dissipated from his hand.
"I warned you not to save me."
He turned around and walked to the sidebar on the rooftop, leaned on the sidebar and looked at the city towers in the distance, and whispered, "I'm not worth it." ā
"It's obvious that I involved you in these things, you could have pulled away, you have no reason to save me, and you don't need to come to this troubled water."
"When it comes to a critical time, why are there so many reasons to be entangled." Tang Yuanyuan scratched his hair, walked next to him, and leaned on the sidebar, "You can think that I am a whim, I just think that it is not worth it for you to be locked up there for a few hundred years... Even if you give me a chance to choose again, I'll still save you, so I won't regret it. ā
She turned her head and smiled at him: "And don't look down on yourself so much, why don't you deserve it?" Everyone has the right to make their wishes come true, and so do you. ā
"So of course you're worth it."
Yi Huai looked at the pupils of her smiling face and suddenly contracted slightly because of these words, and there was no reason for his heartbeat to speed up a little because of Tang Yuanyuan's words, and after a moment he came back to his senses, laughed a little helplessly, and whispered softly:
"You're stupid... Tang Yuanyuan. ā
Tang Yuanyuan pretended not to hear his whisper, didn't bother to argue with him, and was about to change the topic to take him back to her home to consider the three chapters of the law, but before she could speak, she was suddenly interrupted by another voice.
"Tang Yuanyuan!"
The voices of familiar people and the sound of footsteps approached at the same time, and before Tang Yuanyuan could turn around, he was grabbed by the arm of the comer, and then the words sounded with a little anxiety:
"Where have you been?"
She had time to turn around and meet the eyes of the person who came up.
The person who came was her childhood sweetheart Gu Yuan, and at this moment, his dark brown eyes revealed complex emotions that were rarely seen on weekdays, full of worry and anxiety.
"Iā" She brewed her emotions for a moment, but she didn't know how to explain it, and told him about her trip to the underworld?
Gu Yuan doesn't believe in demons and gods, he was Tang Yuanyuan's only friend in the past, although he would listen to her whatever she said, but in the past, he almost always regarded Tang Yuanyuan's words as a fantasy or a story. It didn't seem to be useful to think about it like this, so she smiled:
"I'm not going anywhere...."
When she said this, she thought to herself that she should not have disappeared for a long time, judging by the position of the sun, maybe only for a few hours.
But Gu Yuan frowned and whispered, "You have been missing for three days. ā
Seeing that she didn't want to answer in detail, he didn't ask any more, but just let go of the hand that grabbed her hand and let go of the hand that was holding her hand, and let out a long sigh of relief: "It's okay if you're okay." ā
"Three days?" Tang Yuanyuan repeated to himself in surprise, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at Yi Huai who was standing behind him, but the latter ignored her gaze as if nothing had happened, and said nothing.
But it seems that the speed of time flow between the underworld and the human world is different, which is very reasonable.... She said this in her heart, and her eyes fell on Hui Yuan, who said angrily and funny:
"Don't tell me you don't know what you've been doing for the past three days."
"No, no, no... It's my family's business, and my grandfather temporarily took me to deal with some household chores..."
She laughed dryly twice and made an excuse, but Gu Yuan was suspicious of this, he grabbed her arm and looked at her for a while, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, he didn't open his mouth to expose her lies, but sighed lightly in his heart, thinking that maybe one day she would say it.
However, since Tang Yuanyuan is reluctant to speak now, he will not ask.
So he let go of her hand and shook his head gently, then looked her down again, and after making sure that she was indeed unharmed, a large stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
But there was silence between the two, as if neither side seemed to know how to speak for a while, and Tang Yuanyuan seemed to be unwilling to explain or talk about anything else, so Gu Yuan stood in place for a while and then turned around and faced the staircase again, as if he was slightly disappointed and planned to leave.
After all, Tang Yuanyuan has also been found, and she doesn't seem to want to talk to herself at the moment, so leaving her alone here is naturally the best choice.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at Gu Yuan's back with a mess in her heart, she knew that the other party was very worried about herself, and she also knew that she couldn't deceive him with the excuses she made up, but she was also a little surprised that he didn't demolish himself.
"By the way, how do you know I'm on the rooftop?"
She finally called out to Gu Yuan, who was about to leave, and wanted to change the topic to relieve the embarrassment, but she didn't expect to hear an answer that made her speechless in the next second.
"Because you love coming here, and the last sight you saw before you disappeared was at the school, so I came back every day to see it. I know all your habits. ā
Tang Yuanyuan was a little stunned, not knowing how to answer his words.
Because in her memory, Gu Yuan always sat alone in the classroom and rarely moved, she always saw his appearance, so she would not call him out after the break.
But I didn't expect him to know everything, even then he knew her movements on campus, knew where she would go, what she liked to do, even if he went to the school store, he would bring her favorite snacks.
When she thought of having a childhood sweetheart who cared so much about her, she disappeared quietly for a few days to worry the other party, and she inevitably felt a little unreasonable and unreassured.
And the more she tried to change the subject or defend something, the more serious this feeling became.
So she looked at Gu Yuan, who had already walked out of a distance from her, and opened her mouth again, but in the end, there was nothing to say.
And because he couldn't get Tang Yuanyuan's answer, Gu Yuan paused in place for a while and then continued to walk back, until he stopped in front of the staircase door on the rooftop again, and said to Tang Yuanyuan:
"If you don't want to go back to the classroom now, then you can stay here a little longer, and I'll pick you up later."
"You don't have to worry about the teacher, I made up a reason for you to take three days off, so you can go home and rest later, but wait for me, I'll go talk to the teacher, and I'll send you back later."
After Gu Yuan said this, he saw Tang Yuanyuan nodding lightly, and then he walked and disappeared into the stairwell.
And Tang Yuanyuan, who was inexplicably arranged, stood in place, looking at the direction where Gu Yuan's back disappeared, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart while saying that his childhood sweetheart seemed to be able to take care of people as always.
"Then again, he took a leave of absence... Is it so accurate? ā
Tang Yuanyuan would think of what Gu Yuan told him, and felt that he might not be the right person to suddenly appear in the school now, but did he really have to wait for him on the rooftop all the time? Although there are few people here, it is not impossible to meet people, and it seems that it will be the school afternoon meal before long... At that point, in fact, some young couples on campus like to run to a place like the rooftop where there are few people.
Tang Yuanyuan was thinking about whether there would be a better place to hide in the school, or whether he could sneak out of the campus and find a bubble tea shop outside the school to wait for him, when he suddenly heard a cold voice in his ears.
"It's not right to take leave, it's just right."
Yi Huai, who had been standing aside without saying a word before, suddenly said that, and Tang Yuanyuan remembered that there was another person behind him.
When Gu Yuan was there just now, he stood where he was and didn't say a word, as if he was a transparent person, so much so that Tang Yuanyuan almost forgot about the existence of this number.
But maybe for Gu Yuan, Yi Huai is indeed a transparent person? After all, it seems that he belongs to the type of ghost that ordinary humans can't see him directly as long as he doesn't appear voluntarily...
She complained in her heart and then turned around, only to find that Yi Huai was not leaning on the railing like before, but standing in front of her.
She squinted her eyes, only to realize that Yi Huai was standing so much taller than herself, she was only about the latter's chest, and she could only see his white shirt at eye level. So she had to raise her head and ask:
"What do you mean?"
"In about three days, he'll take a leave of absence to look for you, right?"
Yi Huai leaned down to her ear and whispered:
"I remember he's your childhood sweetheart, right? Looks like he really likes you. ā
