Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

The alley outside the Rose Building is a space of continuous circulation.

Li Gui discarded unnecessary memories from his childhood, but materialized his childhood self.

Anzi stayed in this alley day after day, waiting for his mother to come find him again and again. He was addicted to this cycle because it was the only memory that made him feel that he was still loved and not abandoned.

But now, he doesn't need this memory anymore.

The boy put his arm around Bai Yao's neck, leaned into her arms, and smiled briskly, "Yaoyao, I only want you."

Bai Yao touched the top of his head, picked him up, and walked along the alley, "Anzi, I need you too."

The alleys were intricate and winding, and no matter which way she walked, she couldn't find the exit.

Bai Yao was not in a hurry, but smiled and said: "But it's not just me who needs you, there are many friends who need you too."

"Friends?" He raised his confused face and said blankly: "I don't have any friends."

"Mr. Zhou, the administrator, and Mr. Tuberculosis, our neighbor, and Miss Lu... they are all your friends."

Anzi tilted his head. He seemed to have some impression of the people she mentioned, but he couldn't remember them clearly. He gave up thinking about it and buried his face in her neck. "Just you is enough for me."

"Although I'd love to be the only one you want, Anzi, you can't have only me."

He didn't understand and remained silent.

Bai Yao held him and walked back to the starting point again. She did not stop and continued to move forward along the previous route. "You are so good, so you deserve all the beautiful emotions in this world."

"All the... beautiful emotions?"

"Friendship, love, and family." Bai Yao lowered her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes curved and she smiled. "There are still many new possibilities in this world waiting for you to experience. It would be a pity if you only stayed with me."

"Everyone in the Rose Building greets each other warmly every time they meet. Although everyone often wants to laugh at others, it is very lively."

"Every day before going to bed, I can say good night to you, and when I wake up the next morning, I can say good morning to you. When we have nothing to do, we can lie on the sofa together and watch Superman. Now we can also go shopping and watch movies together... There are still many things we haven't had time to do."

"Maybe when you're ready one day, after we get married, our small family of two will become three or four people... It's interesting to think about the scene where your child might fight with you for the remote control."

Bai Yao's eyebrows were curved, and her softened voice was filled with deep longing and expectation. The lively scenes she described were colorful and sparkling.

The cold temperature in the alley rose slightly, time passed by inadvertently, and a ray of dusk light sprinkled on the entrance of the cold alley, adding a bit of warmth.

The boy stared at her blankly, losing the ability to think.

No one had ever told him that he was qualified to imagine the future, so he had no aspirations and no expectations. He had been trapped in this dim alley for too long, with the only noise being the sound of marbles colliding, so much so that he had long forgotten what the world outside looked like.

He didn't even realize that he was qualified to fantasize.

The boy hugged her tightly, pressed his lips against her cheek, and his childish voice trembled a little, "Yaoyao, I'm scared."

Bai Yao touched the back of his head, "What are you afraid of?"

"I was so scared, I didn't know how to greet my friends."

"Then let's start by saying 'hello' when we meet."

"I'm scared. What if I make you angry?"

"As long as you admit your mistakes quickly and come to comfort me, I will forgive you."

"I'm scared... that the day I have a new family, I'll be abandoned."

Bai Yao laughed out loud and ruffled his hair exaggeratedly, "Then you can lock the doors and windows tightly, and tie us together with a string, so that no one can leave each other!"

The boy raised his head. His soft black hair was rumpled by her and became messy as if it was blown away. Perhaps he saw his ridiculous appearance in her eyes, so he slowly raised the corners of his lips and let out a crisp laugh.

"Yaoyao, I need you."

"Yeah, I know." She held him and walked forward into the afterglow of the sunset, her laughter fading away, "So I will always be by your side."

The sun is about to set, and among the ever-changing light and shadow, the lonely figure becomes even more lonely.

The sickly ghost had just brought back the paper doll that was basking in the sun. He glanced at the confused and lonely white figure at the gate and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhou Zheng replied in a low voice: "His girlfriend is missing."

The sickly ghost's eyes flashed with wonder, "His girlfriend finally couldn't stand him anymore and ran away?"

Of course, they would not think that something had happened to Bai Yao. After all, Bai Yao was able to fall in love with Li Gui, and her insanity was well-known. No one within a hundred miles dared to touch Bai Yao. Even if she was robbed, a wandering ghost would run out from the dark and scare the robbers out of their wits.

Bai Yao had her fortune read by Master Zhou Tianshi before, and her ghost-attracting physique was well-deserved.

Zhou Zheng lazily lay on the table and glanced out the glass window. He knew more and couldn't help but smile with a bad taste, "Spear or shield, which one is stronger?"

A gust of cold wind blew by, bringing a different scent.

Li Gui looked at the boy with black hair and black eyes who appeared in front of him and was slightly dazed.

They were very close, yet seemed very far away. Having transcended the limitations of time and space, they seemed to see their past and future selves.

Li Gui took a step back almost instinctively. He didn't know what he was afraid of.

Then, he raised his eyes slightly and saw a figure slowly walking out of the dark alley.

She smiled in his direction.

Li Gui's eyes flickered, and he lowered his ruby ​​eyes and looked at the child standing still again. He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand.

The wind blew his white robe, and the light and shadow were scattered.

Unexpectedly, the moment the memories merged completely, there was no rejection, no pain, and even no resentment.

Li Gui stared blankly at his empty hands. His beautiful eyes turned into their original black color. After a moment, they shone with the bright and clear ruby ​​luster.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, the sick ghost came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Li Gui raised his face and said, "Hello, you tuberculosis ghost."

The sickly ghost was stunned for a moment, "Ah... hello."

What the hell is this weird greeting?

Then, Li Gui ran out with brisk steps. The dancing arcs of his long hair and white robe were like pieces of blooming moonlight, pure and spotless. The joy and happiness he outlined were overflowing in the sunset. The bright and dazzling colors intertwined, boiling the hot air.

"Yao Yao!"

"Li Gui!"

They acted as if they hadn't seen each other for hundreds of years and ran towards each other. He lifted her up by the waist as if he was holding up a rare treasure that needed to be carefully admired. The boy's exaggerated laughter facing the sunset was particularly harsh. He then hugged her in his arms and spun her around in circles.

Two grown men stood at the door, silently watching the crazy scene outside.

Zhou Zheng said: "Have you heard of the magic circle of love?"

The sick ghost said: "This is not called the magic of love spinning in circles, this is called madness of joy."

Zhou Zheng shook his head. "Dating really does drive people crazy. Fortunately, I don't date."

The tubercular man glanced at Zhou Zheng, gave an ambiguous laugh, took out a bag of candied fruit, took a bite, then turned and left holding the paper doll.

Zhou Zheng frowned. Was the look that the sickly man just gave him mocking him for being a single man?

"Yao Yao!"

"Li Gui!"

"You are so beautiful, I love you so much!"

"You're so beautiful, too. I like you so much!"

"Then I'll tear off the skin and let Yaoyao put it in her bag to take to work. When you miss me, take it out and look at me!"

"Haha, your joke is so funny!"

"Yao Yao!"

"Li Gui!"

……

Zhou Zheng raised his hands to cover his eyes, took a step back, and closed the door. He felt much more at peace. He cursed inwardly: "He is really crazy!"

But being able to find someone to go crazy with you is really an enviable thing.
