unspoken

"Xiao Xue, do you want to spend the night here?"

"Yes, Auntie, I have to stay overnight tonight because I want to discuss a university project with Huo Xun. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Oh, no trouble, no trouble. It would be great if Xun was as sensible as you. He doesn't know how to learn in school. Fortunately, you are a good roommate who drives him..."

……

After returning to the room, Xue Jingxiu saw Huo Xun biting a popsicle and playing games.

"Aren't you going to ask about the result?"

"What are you asking? Anyway, you succeeded. You are a beast in clothes, you can always talk people in a daze. My mother must have said a lot of bad things about me and a lot of good things about you." Huo Xun looked gloomy.

"I won't correct your wrong usage of idioms." Xue Jingxiu said.

"Fuck you." Huo Xun said angrily.

"What should we do now, wait until twelve o'clock and then attack at night?" Huo Xun asked.

"This, you will know when the time comes." Xue Jingxiu smiled.

Twelve o'clock sharp.

Huo Xun's parents are early sleepers, and they are already asleep.

This facilitated the activities of Huo Xun and Xue Jingxiu.They walked to the door of the guest room. It was different tonight, the door of the guest room was tightly closed, but the green light from the bottom crack of the door proved that what Huo Xun said was not an illusion.

"Huo Yanling doesn't have the habit of locking the door while sleeping." It's somewhat impolite to lock the door while sleeping in someone else's house, and Huo Yanling naturally won't violate this taboo.

This was convenient for Xue Jingxiu, he opened the door without saying a word.

At this moment, the green light in the room suddenly became dazzling, as if a creature's instinctive reaction when encountering danger.

Before Huo Xun could be surprised, Xue Jingxiu covered his eyes.

"You're the one with these fireflies, I'm still wondering why a ghost carries so many fireflies, but if it's you, it can explain it."

"Who are you?" The man surrounded by fireflies stood up, while Huo Yanling, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be immobilized, staying in the same position before Xue Jingxiu opened the door.

"This idiot whose eyes are covered by me is Huo Yanling's cousin, and I'm his classmate." Xue Jingxiu said.

"Hey! Who is the idiot! And let go of you, I can't see anything!" Huo Xun roared.

"If you don't want to become blind, then don't move around." Xue Jingxiu said sternly, which shocked Huo Xun, "I won't be affected by these*, you are different."

The man looked at Xue Jingxiu with a strange expression, "Yan Ling..."

"Okay, that's all for my business." Xue Jingxiu interrupted him, and returned to his usual smile, "There's not much time, so I'll just say it straight to the point, this idiot, please let me investigate you, and deal with it when necessary Lose you, so I hope you can take the initiative to leave Huo Yanling, so hello me, hello everyone."

Xue Jingxiu's blunt words should have made him angry, but after listening to the man, he didn't feel angry at all, instead he sighed deeply.

"It's not that I don't want to leave her. It's her wish that 'bound' me. I should have returned to the earth and turned into mud, but her thoughts and wishes pulled me back from the underworld." He said, "Maybe I'm a little selfish myself—I don't want her to be alone."

"But if you stay by her side, you will absorb her yang energy." Xue Jingxiu said, "You might kill her."

The man showed a painful expression, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said with a firm expression: "If I disappear suddenly, I'm afraid she will do something to hurt herself, so, can you let me finish this last one?" A game of chess, and then say goodbye to her?"

Xue Jingxiu nodded: "Alright."

……

When the time resumed, Huo Yanling put down the white piece in her hand, and looked up at the man with wet eyes.

"Ying, what's wrong with you?" Huo Yanling was puzzled.

"No, it's okay, let's continue." Ying shook her head and said, "After this game of chess, I have something important to tell you."

"What is the important thing?"

"If you win, I'll tell you."

"Hee hee, then you just wait and say."

……

Outside the door, Huo Xun felt uncomfortable listening to the conversation inside the door.

"Is that all right? Xue Jingxiu." Huo Xun gritted his teeth.

"It's not a human being. It can maintain this form mostly by absorbing yang energy and essence. If it stays with Huo Yanling, sooner or later she will weaken and die." Xue Jingxiu explained.

"I know! But..." However, Huo Xun could tell that Ying attached great importance to Huo Yanling, and Huo Yanling also attached great importance to it.

But what happens when she loses an important "person"?

Huo Xun could imagine that Huo Yanling's heart would die with it. If her heart died...

"That would be the same as being dead..."

Is there no one way that can make everyone happy?

Xue Jingxiu looked at the dejected Huo Xun for a long time, and sighed, "It's not impossible."

"What?!" Huo Xun looked up, "You didn't say it earlier!"

"This method allows it to stay by Huo Yanling's side without absorbing her yang energy. But, this is more expensive." Xue Jingxiu said, "Because there are certain things that cost a lot of money to obtain."

"Money is not a problem, just use this method." Huo Xun was decisive.

The next day, Xue Jingxiu left. That night, Huo Xun didn't know who he was bargaining with. The room was filled with his roars, which made Huo Xun's parents think that there was something wrong with their son's head.

In the end, it seemed that they couldn't talk to the other party, and the room became completely silent.

On the third day, Xue Jingxiu came with an exquisite box, from which came bursts of sandalwood fragrance. He gave the box to Huo Xun, asked him to place it in a fixed position, took out the pendant in the box, and handed it over to Huo Xun. Huo Yanling, and told her not to leave no matter what.

Huo Yanling shed tears, looked at Xue Jingxiu gratefully, then turned her head towards a place that Huo Xun could not see, as if she had met something, and smiled at each other.

"That's no problem." Xue Jingxiu said on the way to send Xue Jingxiu to the station.

"Well, thank you very much." Huo Xun didn't expect that he would have a day to thank Xue Jingxiu.

"No need." Xue Jingxiu smiled.

Huo Xun curled his lips, he understood the meaning of Xue Jingxiu's smile - although Huo Xun's thanks were sincere, but if the person was Xue Jingxiu, it would always be a little awkward when he said it.

Huo Xun wanted to divert his attention, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw many fireflies flying past them.

"It's a firefly." He was surprised, "But it's already October, how could it be...could it be that person who did it?"

"Yes, they are saying goodbye." Xue Jingxiu looked at the fireflies and said, "Thank you."

……

Huo Xun glanced at Xue Jingxiu and thought, in fact, he didn't hate him that much.

Then unconsciously, my thoughts drifted back to the day when I was kissed by him.

thump.

Huo Xun trembled all over: What's going on, this palpitation...

thump.

Oops, I won't be... no, no, no, no, no, no, no.Huo Xun covered his mouth and thought.

"What's wrong? Your expression is very strange."

"No! Nothing happened!" Too bad, Xue Jingxiu saw it all.

Huo Xun hurriedly covered up his embarrassment.

"You, you really can't lie." Xue Jingxiu trapped him between the stop sign and his arm, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Your ears are so red, you are by my side, who are you thinking about?" thing?"

"Who can still think about it, of course you, you bastard beast, get the hell out of here! It's too close, too close!" Huo Xun was anxious.

Although there were few people this early in the morning, and there were only the two of them waiting for the bus at this station, there was no guarantee that someone would come in the next second.Even if Huo Xun was thick-skinned, he wasn't thick enough.

Huo Xun was easy to say what was in his heart when he was in a hurry. Xue Jingxiu knew this, but he didn't expect that Huo Xun would talk about himself.

He couldn't contain his joy now, his shoulders were trembling, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.

It was also the first time for Huo Xun to see Xue Jingxiu smiling like this, his emotions of shame, indignation and surprise were intertwined.

"Hey, hey, what are you laughing at! Hey, stop laughing, someone is watching, hey——!"
