Laws of Spirit Recycling

Back in the living room, I saw the man in black sitting on the sofa. He turned sideways, facing the young boy who was talking.

"I see you guys are so sad, and I think of Uncle Lin... Although he doesn't talk much, I know he just looks serious, but he's always thinking of you. I know it from Xiao Shui."

"Thinking of us... If he was really thinking of us, he wouldn't have done that."

"Senior, are you still blaming Uncle Lin?"

"I never blamed him, I just..." His voice lowered, and he didn't say the last few words, "Xu Yan, have you been tired these days? Is there any problem with the school?"

"Well, I asked the school for leave, and there is nothing wrong at home. I told them that for the next month's competition, I will practice with my classmates until late today, so I won't go back."

The expression of the man in black became more complicated, and the other party didn't notice it at all, so he continued: "By the way, this is supper for Xiao Shui. I don't think he ate anything all day today. Please bring it in for him to eat." .”

"He fell asleep, didn't you eat much?" He took the porridge and scooped it up with a spoon, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect you to make this kind of thing."

"Auntie Chen taught me that making porridge is very simple. I have already eaten it, senior, you can eat this bowl."

Facing Xu Yan's concerned eyes, the man in black raised his lips and said, "Okay."

"Your surname is Lin?" Yu Yan wanted to confirm whether the "Uncle Lin" they were talking about just now was the undead around him.

"Yes, the full name is Lin Zonghai."

"What are the names of your two sons?"

Lin Zonghai didn't turn his head, and said absently, "Lin Aoyu, Lin Aoshui."

Yu Yan didn't speak. After waiting for a while, he found that the other party didn't come to ask his name, so he continued to speak.

"It seems that the relationship between you and Lin Aoyu's father and son is not very good." Yu Yan pointed to the eldest son who was drinking porridge.

Lin Zonghai pondered for a long time before speaking: "He is very rebellious."

"Because you have long hair that most boys don't wear?" Yu Yan took a closer look at Lin Aoyu again. His hair on both sides was tied behind his ears, revealing the sharp curve from his face to his chin, and a little star shone on his ears The fine light of the stone, as a whole, looks both casual and unique, and indeed has the distinctive temperament that human beings judge "rebellion".

"It's much more than that." Lin Zonghai glanced at Yu Yan, hesitant to speak.

Lin Aoyu took the bowl to the kitchen and walked out, and said to Xu Yan who was leaning on the sofa and rubbing his eyes: "You are sleepy, go to sleep."

"Hmm." Xu Yan blinked, leaned his upper body forward, propped his hands on the sofa, and said, "How is Xiao Shui? He suffered such a blow at such a young age. I don't know if it will have any impact, and he will die next year." It's time for the college entrance examination, and now is the critical time. Senior, you'd better pay more attention to him and accompany him more during this time."

"Of course I know my own brother." Lin Aoyu smiled, sat next to Xu Yan and rubbed his head, "I'm so sleepy and still worrying about this."

"Because he is your younger brother." Xu Yan yawned after speaking.

Lin Aoyu took his hand and said, "Go, go in and sleep."

Xu Yan sat still: "I just slept outside."

"You sleep on the couch? Is it because my dad's room—"

"Of course not. I just want to sleep outside. You didn't sleep here every day. I want to try sleeping on the sofa today."

"Okay, then I'll get you another quilt and pillow."

The two got up, and Lin Aoyu dragged the coffee table back to leave more space, then moved the sofa, skillfully turning the narrow sofa that could only accommodate one person's body into a single bed.He took the pillow and blanket out of the room, carefully spread the blanket on the sofa bed with the original blanket, and covered Xu Yan with the blanket in his hand.

"Are you sure you're sleeping here alone, aren't you afraid?" The sofa bed was a bit short, Lin Aoyu arched his legs, put one hand on his knee, and tucked in the corner of the blanket with the other.

"Don't be afraid, you're in the next room." After Xu Yan lay down, he became more sleepy, and he tilted his head comfortably, nestling on the soft pillow.

"I leave the door open, call me if you need anything."

Lin Aoyu stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair on the other's forehead, and before retracting his hand, he pinched Xu Yan's cheek lightly. Xu Yan immediately grabbed that hand, and put his face on the back of his hand affectionately.

"Senior, I will accompany you, and I will in the future."

Xu Yan's voice was soft, like a ball of down in a pillow, slender, pure white, soft... It fell in front of Lin Aoyu, causing him to unconsciously reveal a sleepy and gentle expression.

"I know." Lin Aoyu leaned over and lowered his head, and kissed the other person's cheek, "Good night."

"Good night."

"Nonsense, really nonsense!" Lin Zonghai trembling voice, took a few steps back in disbelief, his attitude of resistance was fully revealed.

"You said that boy was a friend of your family, but it doesn't look like it."

Thinking of the intimate behavior of the two of them just now, the warmth in their eyes when they looked at each other, it was quite different from the "friends" he knew to get along, and it was also somewhat different from the familiar atmosphere between Lin Aoyu and his younger brother.Yu Yan vaguely understood what kind of ambiguous relationship this was, and tried to search for the precise word in his mind.

The word "ah" flashed by, caught by Yu Yan, and said directly: "Gay, your son has a gay relationship with that boy named Xu Yan."

Yu Yan has no sympathy for human moral and ethical concepts. Traditional pedantic thinking and innovative and open style are the same for him. They are just like the furniture in the room. They are just decorations.

So there is no ambiguity in what he said, it was just out of professional requirements, and he habitually summed up the human relationships that often gave him headaches.But no matter how plain his tone was, it still irritated Lin Zonghai, a middle-aged man who is a father.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Zonghai sullenly turned his head to look at Yu Yan seriously, and explained seriously: "My son is just playing for fun. He has been rebellious since he was a child. The more he is not allowed to do something, the more he will do it. , smoking and drinking, fighting and clubbing, falling in love with all kinds of girls, now I’m tired of playing with boys, he’s young, greedy for novelty, after a while, he’ll pursue other things, nothing surprising .”

"Then why are you so excited? I just said the words homosexuality." Yu Yan didn't expect that he, who had been silent for a long time, would say such a long rebuttal.

Lin Zonghai was extremely sensitive to the word "homosexuality". He frowned and said in an admonishing tone: "Do you know what homosexuality is? My son is normal, he is not homosexual."

"Okay." Yu Yan didn't intend to continue arguing on this, and changed the subject: "You said Lin Aoyu was rebellious, so that's what you meant?"

"Isn't that enough? My two sons are far apart in age and have different personalities, but I didn't expect it to be this big one, which often makes me worry."

"You are his father, doesn't he listen to him at all?"

A wry smile floated on Lin Zonghai's face: "If he is willing to listen, then it's not called rebellion..."

Yu Yan suddenly understood: "The bad relationship between you and Lin Aoyu is because of this, right? Do you want your son to become better and not rebellious?"

"It's harder than going to heaven for him to change."

Since it is so difficult, there is only one way to change it.With the idea of ​​persuading the other party, Yu Yan comforted him: "You know his character so well, you know that he will not change easily, why didn't you think about changing your mind and trying to understand him? Anyway, he is just young and playful, When I get older, it won’t continue like this.”

"Yes, I did think so before. He was just playing for fun before, as long as no big troubles were caused. But who knew, this kid actually went to mess around with boys. If I continue to turn a blind eye, I don't know what will happen next, so I can't let him like this."

"But, I don't think Lin Aoyu and this boy named Xu Yan are fooling around." Yu Yan said, turning his gaze to the boy on the sofa bed. The moonlight painted his hazy outline, and he seemed to be sleeping very peacefully.

Yu Yan's words suddenly silenced Lin Zonghai, and he also looked at Xu Yan who was sleeping soundly. After a long while, he suddenly said: "It's because of this that we can't let him go wrong."

"You already knew?"

"I knew it before I died, and I quarreled with my son several times because of this matter. He didn't listen to me at all, and it was useless to say anything."

"So you have a bad relationship because of this." Yu Yan began to think about how to resolve the estrangement between the father and son.

Lin Zonghai didn't answer, Yu Yan thought he had acquiesced in this statement, he had an idea, and felt a rare motivation because he quickly found out the crux of the target's undead, and offered to ask Ying: "Let me help you, persuade Lin Aoyu to let him leave Xu Yan .”

"You?" Lin Zonghai took the initiative to look at this non-human of unknown origin. The slightly immature face under the moonlight looked about the same age as his youngest son Lin Aoshui, and he couldn't help being full of doubts: "You can't, you can't convince my son of."

In fact, Yu Yan wasn't sure either, he turned his gaze, pointed to the peaceful person on the sofa bed, and said, "Then I'll go and persuade Xu Yan to break up with Lin Aoyu, so you don't have to worry."

——It was also possible to leave the human world smoothly.Yu Yan said this in his heart, and silently glanced at the boss around him who had been silent since he entered the door. The other party seemed to have been paying attention to his movements, and rarely returned an encouraging look with a little warmth.

"We'll talk about this tomorrow." Lin Zonghai pondered for a long time and made this decision hesitantly.

"Tomorrow?" Yu Yan looked at the dark night, thinking that it will be tomorrow in just a few hours, will there be any changes tomorrow?

"Tomorrow...is the day of the funeral."

Lin Zonghai walked out of the enchantment and stood by the French window between the balcony and the living room. His tall back blocked a piece of bright light. The moonlight slid down his shoulders like a veil, spreading into the room along the light blue halo, and the dark brown ground shot out. Transparent reflection, in the pure light that is close to distortion, there is no trace of shadow.

"By the way, you said that you came from the underworld and came to take me away?" Lin Zonghai suddenly turned around and asked.

Yu Yan replied: "That's right."

"Where are you going, Underworld?"

Yu Yan shook his head and didn't speak.

In fact, if the other party continues to ask, Yu Yan will tell him - your soul will eventually dissipate, after you have no nostalgia for the world.

This is the decree of the survival of the fittest set by the underworld in charge of all living beings. What happened in life is like a series of math problems, and only simple addition and subtraction are used to calculate the human life.Is it outstanding?Are you gifted?Does it contribute to society and the world?These will become the criteria for judging positive and negative.In the end, the undead who are outstanding and have made achievements are left behind, while those ordinary people who are busy and inactive, what awaits them is the eternity where time stops and the end of the trajectory of life.

Seemingly cruel, this set of measurement standards that only use scores to calculate grades is precisely inspired by the subtle survival rules of human society.
