Fu Xuezhou’s pupils dilated.
Under the fireworks, Lou Yan’s face blossomed like passionate flowers in the night, his eyes showing a deep affection. His smile was confident and bold, his gaze sharp and confident, as if he had already confirmed Fu Xuezhou’s answer.
“Fu Xuezhou, do you… like me?”
No one had ever asked Fu Xuezhou such a question.
And he hadn’t heard the words “like” for a long time, so long that Fu Xuezhou had forgotten that the word could still be associated with himself.
Did he like Lou Yan?
Fu Xuezhou’s eyes flashed with confusion.
After nearly three hundred cycles, killing countless humans and anomalies, Fu Xuezhou’s emotions had become indifferent from tempering. Except for special circumstances that could still provoke emotions, Fu Xuezhou’s attitude towards everything else remained as calm as still water.
For Fu Xuezhou, what used to be special for him was only killing anomalies, but now there was Lou Yan.
Was this liking?
Fu Xuezhou didn’t know.
Fu Xuezhou looked at Lou Yan’s smile, suppressing the emotions that disturbed his thoughts, quietly pondering: Did he still have the ability to like someone?
He could feel that, he didn’t know when, his emotions towards Lou Yan began to become abnormal. He would be irritable and resentful because of Lou Yan, but also feel joy because of Lou Yan. Lou Yan’s influence on him was getting stronger and stronger, which was why Fu Xuezhou wanted to stay away from Lou Yan and see a psychologist in Rongcheng.
But these changes were all because of the ghost marriage contract.
Fu Xuezhou had the bloodline of Anisange people in his body, which allowed him to maintain his sanity through hundreds of cycles, remembering the memories of each cycle, so as not to be tormented into a demented lunatic. However, as a human, enduring the bloodline of Anisange people also had side effects. It made Fu Xuezhou a clear-headed madman. He would have fewer and fewer emotions towards others, and it would become increasingly difficult for him to feel intense emotions such as “love,” “like,” “sympathy,” or “hatred,” eventually living a sober life until death.
Fu Xuezhou was like a lonely island, with the passage of time, the snow and ice covering the island became more and more vast.
Therefore, Fu Xuezhou found it hard to believe that he still had the ability to like someone. With this premise, how could Fu Xuezhou distinguish whether these emotions and desires came from the ghost marriage contract or from himself?
Fu Xuezhou didn’t know.
But his reason and long-lasting indifference told him: He didn’t like Lou Yan. All this restlessness, pretending to be cold and indifferent, and the burning desire that made Fu Xuezhou feel obsessed were all just effects of the ghost marriage contract.
With the bloodline of Anisange people inside him, how could he easily like someone?
Ignoring the oppression in his heart, Fu Xuezhou finally reached this conclusion. But looking at Lou Yan’s eyes shining brightly and the charming smile on his lips, Fu Xuezhou found himself unable to say the words “I don’t like you.”
He pressed down the corners of his mouth, feeling restless in his heart again. Fu Xuezhou simply pretended not to understand Lou Yan’s words as before, tilting his head at Lou Yan with no expression, indicating that he didn’t understand.
Lou Yan’s joy was instantly extinguished by the cold water. He gritted his teeth and said, “Fu Xuezhou, are you still pretending—”
The next moment, he took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “Forget it, if you want to pretend, go ahead.”
After that, Lou Yan put down his hands holding Fu Xuezhou’s face. You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. Lou Yan didn’t want to argue with Fu Xuezhou anymore. After giving Fu Xuezhou a cold glance, he turned around and left.
In the moment he turned around, a pensive look flashed in Lou Yan’s eyes.
Although Fu Xuezhou didn’t answer whether he liked Lou Yan or not, his choice to pretend not to understand Lou Yan’s words had already answered Lou Yan’s question.
It seemed that Fu Xuezhou hadn’t truly liked him yet…
But instead of directly rejecting Lou Yan, Fu Xuezhou chose to avoid the question, which meant that Fu Xuezhou didn’t not like Lou Yan.
It seems that another push is needed to make Fu Xuezhou truly realize his feelings for Lou Yan.
Just as Lou Yan finished his thoughts, he noticed that Fu Xuezhou was also following him step by step. He deliberately looked at Fu Xuezhou with a stern face, “Why are you following me?”
The silver-haired monster looked as if he had really lost a lot of his senses, lifting the tentacle with the anomaly heart attached and placing it in front of Lou Yan, indicating that Lou Yan should continue counting.
Lou Yan’s anger flared up, sneering, “Don’t tell me you have no memory of what just happened, Fu Xuezhou. Don’t play these tricks with me again. I won’t do it with you a second time. Have you forgotten what you said to me before the time reversal—”
His face was flushed with shame and anger. Closing his eyes, Lou Yan swallowed the rest of his words and looked at the silver-haired monster warningly, annoyed, “Stop following me!”
Upon hearing this, the crimson eyes of the silver-haired monster suddenly deepened, emitting an extremely dangerous aura. The monster’s wings spread wide open, silver hair swirling, tentacles flailing wildly. The nails on his hands turned black in the blink of an eye and began to lengthen at a visible speed. The blue veins on the back of his hand slowly turned into sinister red!
“?!”
Lou Yan stared dumbfoundedly. Fu Xuezhou’s anomaly transformation was deepening again!
No, did Fu Xuezhou have to pretend like this?
Or has he truly lost his mind and isn’t pretending?
But if Fu Xuezhou had really lost his mind, how could he push him to the brink of collapse so well? What the h*ll was he trying to deceive him for?
But if Fu Xuezhou hadn’t lost his mind, why deepen the anomaly transformation at the drop of a hat!
F*ck.
Lou Yan gritted his teeth, immediately deciding to first calm Fu Xuezhou down. He slowed down his voice and said, “Do you want to come back with me, Fu Xuezhou?”
Amidst the swirling tentacles and silver hair, the silver-haired monster nodded slowly towards Lou Yan.
Lou Yan didn’t show any signs of suspicion on his face, but instead smiled more relaxedly. “I can take you back, but you have to promise me not to harm anyone else or deepen the anomaly transformation without reason, okay?”
The silver-haired monster tilted his head again, whether he understood or not was unclear, he just stared at Lou Yan.
Lou Yan: “…”
Is this guy really a great actor, or did he really lose his mind when deepening the transformation?
Lou Yan resignedly explained his request to Fu Xuezhou, and when the silver-haired monster finally nodded in understanding, Lou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
He led Fu Xuezhou towards the edge of the building, about to lead the way to another building, when his body was suddenly wrapped in tentacles and sent into Fu Xuezhou’s arms.
The silver-haired monster hugged him and affectionately rubbed against Lou Yan’s shoulder, slowly saying, “…where?”
Lou Yan, fearing the tickling sensation, squirmed and glanced strangely at Fu Xuezhou, pointing in the direction of the hotel.
The silver-haired monster leaped up and quickly flew towards the hotel in the moonlight.
Lou Yan watched Fu Xuezhou’s half-normal face, his suspicion growing deeper. After finding it really hard to discern any emotions, he decided to proactively test whether Fu Xuezhou was pretending. He cleared his throat, “Fu Xuezhou?”
The silver-haired monster glanced down at him, the moonlight casting a cold light behind the monster.
Lou Yan suddenly said, “Moron?”
The silver-haired monster: “…Moron?”
Lou Yan smirked and deliberately said, “The name I decided for you. I’ll call you Moron from now on, okay?”
The silver-haired monster’s expression remained unchanged. “Hmm?”
Lou Yan then called out “Moron” a few times, but the silver-haired monster ignored him. It wasn’t until Lou Yan called out “Fu Xuezhou” that the silver-haired monster lowered his head again to look at him.
Even after making such a fuss, Lou Yan still couldn’t tell if Fu Xuezhou was pretending. In the blink of an eye, they landed on the rooftop of the hotel.
After Fu Xuezhou put him down, Lou Yan took a few steps back and took out his phone, sending a message to Duan Zege and reminding Li Sanxin to take care of Duan Zege. Only then did he put down his phone and look back at the silver-haired monster. “Fu Xuezhou, I’ll say it again. I can take you to my room, but you must not harm anyone else.”
The silver-haired monster responded calmly.
Lou Yan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked bluntly, “Fu Xuezhou, have you really lost your mind?”
After asking this question, Lou Yan stared closely at Fu Xuezhou, wanting to see his reaction. Talking to someone who pretended to be dumb, he might as well ask directly and see the details.
The silver-haired monster didn’t answer but took two steps forward and lifted Lou Yan’s chin, sticking out his tongue and slowly licking Lou Yan’s lips. The tip of his tongue kept probing Lou Yan’s lips, wanting to enter and entangle with them.
Lou Yan frowned but didn’t refuse. Instead, he slightly parted his lips to let the silver-haired monster in. With one person and half a monster, their lips and tongues intertwined. The silver-haired monster’s long tongue kept trying to probe deeper, but fortunately, he knew his boundaries and obediently withdrew when Lou Yan showed discomfort.
The ambiguous sounds of their kiss made hearts beat faster. When they finally separated, Lou Yan’s lips were swollen, and there were two places where Fu Xuezhou’s fangs had cut him.
Lou Yan licked his lips, his eyebrows twitching with pain. He touched his lips, glancing displeasedly at Fu Xuezhou.
Choosing to kiss instead of answering the question?
The silver-haired monster’s eyes were deep, and he leaned in to kiss Lou Yan again.
This time, Lou Yan was unwilling to cooperate so easily. As the silver-haired monster repeatedly licked his lips, trying to enter but finding no way, his movements became impatient.
Those tentacles once again crawled up Lou Yan’s ankles in haste, quickly reaching Lou Yan’s thighs.
Lou Yan frowned and pushed Fu Xuezhou away, teasingly raising his eyebrows, “Still want to kiss?”
The silver-haired monster nodded honestly.
Lou Yan’s lips curled up, slowly approaching the silver-haired monster. The hot breath fell on Fu Xuezhou’s lips, and he said with a somewhat tempting tone, “Then answer me a question properly. If you answer correctly, we can continue kissing… Fu Xuezhou, are you lying to me?”
No one could remain indifferent under such circumstances. Fu Xuezhou looked at Lou Yan’s lips, and his eyes flashed, instinctively wanting to nod, but he stopped just in time.
Suddenly, the silver-haired monster’s phone rang. A tentacle wrapped around Fu Xuezhou’s phone appeared, and it threw the phone to the ground. The phone conveniently slid in front of Lou Yan.
Lou Yan raised an eyebrow, took a step back, and picked up the phone. Since the phone was not password-protected, he opened it and found that he had received a text message.
He opened the text message and his attention was immediately drawn to it.
There were two messages in total. The first one read:
【Hello, I am Qin Shihuang. I am preparing to return to the mortal world recently. Send me 500 yuan to this number, and I will appoint you as the Grand General of the Northern Expedition, ensuring your eternal youth and prosperity.】
Below was Fu Xuezhou’s reply: 【Thank you, transferred already】
Lou Yan: “…”
Lou Yan’s mouth twitched as he looked at the time Fu Xuezhou transferred five hundred yuan to the scammer. Good Lord, wasn’t this the time Fu Xuezhou took to separate from him to deal with the anomalies?
After “Qin Shihuang” received the money, he was very happy, so he sent another text message just now.
【Grand General of the Northern Expedition, I have received the 500 yuan you sent. However, my mobile data is about to run out, and I cannot awaken my hundred thousand troops. I now need you to continue sponsoring me with 5000 yuan. Once I have completed my great cause, I will appoint you as the Chief Supervisor】
The silver-haired monster leaned over to Lou Yan and looked at the message, his expression indifferent. Two slightly thinner tentacles moved onto the screen, swiftly and flexibly transferring five thousand yuan to the other party right under Lou Yan’s eyelids.
Lou Yan: “…………”
At this moment, Lou Yan was willing to believe that Fu Xuezhou might have really lost his mind…
