Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

The two of them jogged all the way back to their resting place. There were no street lights and it was pitch dark in the deep night. Gu Ling slowed down, but Xu Yanqing didn't think it was wrong. He held Gu Ling's hand with one hand and groped for the door with the other.

The houses in Huxiao Mountain have wooden doors, which always make a creaking sound when you open them.

Xu Yanqing stepped over the threshold, and the dark house suddenly became bright, and two dark shadows jumped out from inside.

There were two loud bangs, followed by excited shouts: "Surprise!"

Xu Yanqing was shocked...terrified.

He was so frightened that his first reaction was to turn around and run with Gu Ling. In his panic, he forgot that there was a high threshold at the door and rushed forward.

Gu Ling opened his arms and steadily caught the beauty who threw herself into his arms. As they looked at each other, Xu Yanqing's panicked look with tears in her eyes came into view.

It seems...the first day they met was similar to the situation now.

Poor panicked little thing.

Gu Ling chuckled and wiped away the tears from Xu Yanqing's eyes with his fingertips: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

All of a sudden, the panic in my heart found a place to rest, and was replaced by overwhelming grievances.

Because of his magical physique that allows him to encounter ghosts anytime and anywhere and because of childhood trauma, Xu Yanqing is easily frightened by unknown things.

Not everyone can see ghosts, and Xu Yanqing had no one to tell whenever he was scared. He could only pretend to be calm, put his trembling hands into his pockets, and hold tightly the self-defense talisman he carried with him, in front of people's surprised eyes.

Xu Yanqing buried his head in Gu Ling's neck, and his soft lips touched Gu Ling's warm skin. He was completely unaware and just hugged Gu Ling tightly.

The voice was trembling, containing great grievance and attachment: "Gu Ling..."

Gu Ling held his hands tighter and tighter, his dark eyes were like the sea, calm on the surface but with undercurrents surging underneath.

Gu Ling let out a long sigh, and the hot air he exhaled turned into white mist. When the white mist dissipated, his dark eyes returned to calm.

She coaxed softly in a gentle voice: "Turn around and take a look. It's not something scary. It's Shangguan Fengyu and Wang Daniu."

Xu Yanqing shook her head gently, and the ends of her hair swept back and forth across Gu Ling's skin, causing an unbearable itch.

It was too embarrassing to be scared like this. Xu Yanqing didn't want to see anyone familiar at the moment.

Gu Ling's eyes fell on the man and the ghost who were standing awkwardly in the room, holding small fireworks: "Yan Qing is feeling a little uncomfortable, why don't you go back first?"

Feeling uncomfortable is fake, being scared is real.

But no one was so tactless as to expose it.

After Shangguan Fengyu and Wang Daniu left, Gu Ling picked up Xu Yanqing and carried him sideways. Xu Yanqing was caught off guard and subconsciously hugged Gu Ling's neck tightly. Gu Ling paused for a moment and carried him into the house.

The fireworks just exploded, and colorful sequins flew everywhere, many of which landed on my body.

Xu Yanqing had no idea what the colorful sequins on his head looked like. As Gu Ling walked, he smiled secretly at the small sequins swaying on Gu Ling's head.

When Gu Ling put him down, he saw Xu Yanqing's smiling and sparkling eyes.

There was still a slight redness in his eye sockets, which was particularly obvious against his fair skin, like a snow-white flower opening its petals to reveal the pistil hidden deep inside.

Gu Ling stopped standing up and slowly approached Xu Yanqing, only to see Xu Yanqing reaching out his hand towards her head and taking off a few small sequins.

"Just now when you were walking, they were swaying above your head. Haha, that's quite interesting." As he said this, he laughed again.

The young man had a head of colorful sequins on his head. He was looking at the sequins in his hands and laughing to himself.

It's just...silly.

Gu Ling had no choice but to reach out to clean the sequins in Xu Yanqing's hair. Only then did Xu Yanqing realize how stupid she was.

He blushed as he saw Gu Ling silently cleaning the sequins for him. Gu Ling's usually nonchalant expression was now gentle, as if he was some kind of plant containing honey, tempting him to get deeper and deeper.

After a while, his eyes were covered by Gu Ling, and after falling into darkness, his other senses became more acute.

He felt the violent beating in his chest, and the breath belonging to another person was invading his territory.

He thought something was going to happen, but in the end nothing happened. The breath that was so familiar to him was a little unstable, as if it was suppressing something.

The voice was very low, but with a fake smile: "Yan Qing, don't look at me like that, it's very dangerous."

In the long river of time, the first thing Gu Ling possessed was the desires of countless living beings.

What is the danger? Who is in danger?

Xu Yanqing vaguely understood that Gu Ling was different from before, and he said, "Oh, then I will try my best?"

It seems like an immediate agreement, but in fact it is a hidden provocation.

"Heh." Gu Ling chuckled, "You're already twenty-one years old, and you're still so ignorant, huh?"

"Who don't know...wait, how do you know I'm twenty-one?"

Gu Ling moved the hand that was blocking his eyes, and ran his fingers across the corner of his eyes, down, touching his earlobe: "Look more, listen more." Finally, he gently put his hand on Xu Yanqing's shoulder.

Xu Yanqing frowned: "So Shangguan Fengyu and Wang Daniu are here to celebrate my birthday? Wouldn't it be bad to let them leave like this?"

When good friends come to celebrate your birthday but you don’t even show your face, it’s bound to be hurtful.

"It's too late to think about this now. They are probably all asleep."

Seeing that Xu Yanqing still felt a little guilty, Gu Ling said, "I'll pick out a few things to give to them someday. Is that okay?"

The things Gu Ling sent must be beneficial to their cultivation, so Xu Yanqing nodded, and then heard Gu Ling asking him for compensation.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "You were also involved in setting off the fireworks, right?"

Gu Ling: “…”

When Xu Yanqing saw her reaction, he knew that he had guessed right and sneered.

"After such a huge mistake, you still have the nerve to ask me for compensation?"

Gu Ling closed his eyes and fell into Xu Yanqing's arms: "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Xu Yanqing, who had nothing to do for two days before the Tianshi Conference, really didn't have the confidence to argue with Gu Ling. He was also afraid that Gu Ling would not perform well tomorrow, so he could only puff up his cheeks and sulk.

He pushed Gu Ling: "I haven't washed up yet."

Gu Ling got up reluctantly, and after washing up, he sat on a chair with his hands on his knees, looking very well-behaved.

Xu Yan came over after washing and asked, "Are you done?"

Gu Ling nodded, and then a very thick cloak fell down.

Xu Yanqing put on the cloak for her, put the big furry hat behind the cloak on her, and led her to the door very gently and patiently and opened it.

The furry hat made Gu Ling's face look particularly petite. Xu Yanqing pinched Gu Ling's face and smiled slightly at her slightly confused expression.

"Good night."

"boom!"

The wind brought by the closing door blew towards her, and Gu Ling was "rejected". She sniffed, paused every three steps, and looked back every five steps. The short distance of ten meters made her walk out with a sense of the tragic farewell of life and death.

Xu Yanqing's door was not opened, and soon the light inside went out.

Gu Ling finally moved into his own room next door.
