Elves

He Shu is six years older than Jin Yao, so when He Shu entered university, Jin Yao had just entered junior high school, and He Shu often joked that they were old friends with a relationship between master and apprentice.Because under the intermittent guidance of He Shu, Jin Yao completed the study of sketch and color half-self-taught.

He Shufan, a sophomore, looked at Jin Yao's recent sketches, who was already a sophomore, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He took out a painting and pointed to it, "Yaoyao, who are you drawing?" Jin Yao reached out his hand wanting to take it: "I didn't draw anyone, I drew it casually." He Shu stretched his hand, avoiding Jin Yao's movements: "Isn't it a celebrity? He's around 20 years old, and he's not your classmate, and there are no such good-looking people among neighbors and relatives. Hey, the ears are still sharp." Jin Yao stretched out his hand and grabbed it: "The person I saw on the road last time thought it looked good, so I changed it to look like that person."

He Shu pretended to be disappointed and patted Jin Yao's head: "Say it earlier, I expected you to know the people in this painting and introduce them to me." Jin Yao rolled his eyes at He Shu speechlessly. Shu embraced his shoulder and said: "Come on, let's not talk about this for now, let's watch a movie with your brother, a horror movie specially copied from a classmate."

"Are you scared alone?" Jin Yao asked suspiciously.

"Isn't it more emotional to see two people?"

Time passed, and when it was nearly dusk, Jin Yao walked out of He Shu's house with flamboyant steps.The quality of the horror film is very good, it is rare that it is not crudely produced, and the ending does not turn into the fantasy of the protagonist having a mental illness.It is said that it has been removed from the platform and banned, but it can't help spreading in a small area in private.

Jin Yao was scared out of his wits by the bloody and ferocious ghosts inside, and the paper figurine witchcraft was even more weird, so that Jin Yao was still deeply involved in it at night, fearing that some ghosts would kill him in the house.

Jin Yao was startled by the sudden knock on the window, knocked off the stack of books at hand, and looked up only to find that it was Shuo Yue standing in front of the window.

Jin Yao opened the window to let him in, Shuo Yue jumped in and helped him pick up the books scattered on the floor: "Why is there such a big movement?" Jin Yao took the book and replied embarrassingly: "I watched a horror movie this afternoon." Shuo Yue reached out and pinched his face: "Don't watch it if you're afraid."

Since Jin Yao met Shuoyue when he was eight years old, Shuoyue has kept his promise to come to him for six years, and the interval between each time is only a few days, which can be regarded as rain or shine.

Shuo Yue naturally sat on the chair and asked, "Yaoyao, by the way, did you ever say you wanted to make a portrait of me?"

Shuo Yue just mentioned it in passing, but Jin Yao replied seriously: "I tried to draw, but I didn't draw well. I can draw it for you after I practice again." "By the way, don't worry, Yaoyao You don't have to be so serious." Shuo Yue said helplessly, but Jin Yao was still serious: "I will draw the best one for you, I promise."

Obviously the two of them are very different in age, and their lives have not intersected, but they can always chat. Jin Yao chatted with Shuo Yue while doing homework, and it was gradually approaching midnight.Shuoyue began to urge him to sleep on time, but Jin Yao lingered and didn't move, hesitating as if he had something to say, Shuoyue didn't talk too much, she easily picked him up with one hand and put him on the bed, then turned off the light and sat on the side of the bed, gently Said: "Hurry up and go to bed. Do you have something to say? Huh?" Jin Yao got into bed and hugged Shuo Yue's waist: "Shuo Yue, can you wait for me to fall asleep before leaving today?"

Shuo Yue didn't delve into what a human child should be like when he was 14 years old, and he didn't react too much to Jin Yao's excessive dependence, but just turned slightly to make it easier for Jin Yao to hug: "It's okay, is it because of that horror movie? "Well, afraid of ghosts."

"What's so scary about ghosts?" Shuo Yue laughed.

Jin Yao looked at Shuoyue suspiciously, and Shuoyue said again: "What's so scary about ghosts? Ghosts were humans before they were humans, and they were gods before they became humans. When they were gods, they didn't know the existence of humans, nor did they know that they were called ghosts. Gods, because they live too far away, are like another dimension. Gods always die due to accidents, and some have self-understanding. After all, if they live too long, they will be bored. In short, the dead gods have become a part of people. I remember when I was a god. You can only remember when you become a ghost after you die, and ghosts can only live for seven days. The ghosts I have seen either want to think about it or make a fool of it. Anyway, I have never seen a scary ghost. But some ghosts will tell you Their stories, chattering in your ears."

"Are all ghosts human?"

"Well, it has to be someone who has been a god. So ghosts are still very rare."

"What about ordinary people after they die?"

"The soul will leave the body. No matter how big or small the body is, the soul is a ball the size of a fist, round and emitting light. The color of each person's soul is different. It floats in the air for a while and then spreads out. What you say is called reincarnation, but someone told me before that the soul can only be reincarnated three times, after which it will really disappear."

"Is that the one I saw in the grass last time?"

"No, that's the wood spirit. You'll be able to see it when you grow up. Are you still afraid?"

"I don't seem to be afraid anymore." Having said that, Jin Yao's hand didn't show any sign of letting go, completely unaware that he was no longer reserved as he was during the day.Shuo Yue didn't pay attention, but just took out a cup, knocked on the rim of the cup, and soon the cup was filled with the trickle that appeared out of thin air, and handed the water to Jin Yao.

Jin Yao raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then said, "Can I have another drink?"

"No, it will make you uncomfortable if you drink too much." Shuo Yue refused indifferently.

Jin Yao stopped talking, and soon fell asleep.However, this time the dream was not as peaceful as before. When he woke up in the morning, Jin Yao vaguely remembered what happened in the dream, and hurriedly washed his clothes with a blushing face.

Because Shuoyue appeared in the dream, Jin Yao was a little ashamed to see Shuoyue, and even hoped that Shuoyue would not come over these two days.But when Shuoyue really didn't look for him for several days, he felt a little worried.

Shuoyue didn't appear until a month later. When Shuoyue knocked on the window in front of Jinyao, Jinyao uncharacteristically ignored it and left it to hang outside.Seeing Jin Yao's cold face and not opening the window, Shuo Yue was at a loss for a while, she either stayed or stayed in front of the window, but before she stayed for long, Shuo Yue heard the sound of the window being pushed open, turned around and jumped in.

"Yaoyao, why is your face so unhappy?" Shuoyue asked the question knowingly, but Jinyao didn't answer, just looked at it quietly, Shuoyue was panicked by his watching: "Yaoyao, don't look at me like that. "Jin Yao paused for a moment, turned his head away from it, but the sadness did not subside.

Feeling bad, Shuo Yue stepped forward and hugged Jin Yao: "Be good, Yaoyao, don't be angry, I've been delayed recently."

"What's the matter?" Jin Yao asked.

"It's not a big deal, but kids don't need to know."

Jin Yao buried his face in its arms, and after a moment of silence, he said in a muffled voice, "I have a lot of homework."

"Ok, I know."

"You haven't come, I thought something happened to you."

"I'll try to tell you as much as I can in the future."

"So it's your fault for not finishing the homework."

"Huh? Why?" Shuo Yue was confused.

Jin Yao pretended to be calm and said: "Because I'm all worried about you." Shuo Yue was amused by his sudden words: "Okay, don't worry. So are you going to start doing your homework now?"

"Ah."
