Five years ago, Midsummer Eve.
The villa suspended above the water is brightly lit, the promenade leading to the main entrance twists and turns, and the blue and purple water lilies bloom under the bridge. Indoor guests pushed cups and changed cups, and waiters in plain clothes shuttled back and forth between their fragrant clothes and temples.
The marriage between the ghost clan and the demon-eliminating family has attracted the attention of both worlds. This engagement banquet is of extraordinary significance and grand scale. As one of the protagonists of the engagement banquet, Xu Yinian unexpectedly fell asleep in the middle of the banquet. Hearing Yu Huai say that Xu Yinian fell asleep on the balcony, Xu's father and Xu's mother all showed embarrassing expressions.
Xu's mother wished she could go to the balcony to wake him up, but on the surface she had to make amends for her son: "He was so excited yesterday, thinking of getting engaged to you, he didn't sleep well all night."
Xu's father coughed, feeling that what his wife said made Xu Yinian seem more and more unreliable. The couple saw everything in their eyes: from the engagement banquet, Yu Huai was basically busy with socializing, Xu Yinian was still able to be a vase conscientiously at the beginning, and found an excuse to slip out of the hall within half an hour.
Fortunately, Yu Huai had no objection, instead he smiled and said, "Then I'll take him upstairs to rest first."
Xu's father and Xu's mother nodded quickly.
Yu Huai turned and went to the terrace. Xu Yinian curled up on the couch, the shadow of the hydrangea falling on his face. The boy's face that hadn't fully bloomed was enough to attract attention, and the flowers as bright as the morning glow were a bit inferior in front of him.
With great difficulty, he got out and came to the balcony to find Xu Yinian, who had slipped away. Before chatting for a while, Xu Yinian's head was bit by bit, and he fell asleep leaning against him. Thinking of this, Yu Huai was amused and soft-hearted, he bent down, put one hand on Xu Yinian's shoulder, and the other hand passed through the boy's knee, and gently hugged him up.
The sleepy teenager seemed to feel a familiar breath, and got into his arms dependently.
Seeing Yu Huai coming in with Xu Yinian in his arms, good-natured laughter came from the hall. Yuan Mu couldn't help feeling emotional: "Yu Huai was domineering when he was young, but now he knows how to hurt others."
Xuan Tan and Yuan Mu have known each other for many years, and they are both very happy to see Yu Huai's engagement with their own eyes today. Xuan Tan is almost two hundred years old, but his face still has a girlish look.
"The two of them are a little bit younger, and he wants to take care of others, and his personalities complement each other, which is very good." After boasting about his son's marriage, Xuan Tan was still unsatisfied, and looked at Yuan Mu's handsome face up and down, "Like you always looking for two Girls in their teens are a century behind them, so that's not going to work."
"..."
Yu Huai pushed the door open and entered, the room was filled with a light floral fragrance, and delicate and beautiful white roses bloomed on the bedside. He carefully placed Xu Yinian on the bed, feeling that he had been changed, the young man whispered softly. Yu Huai sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it for a while, then reached out and unbuttoned his shirt.
The young man's skin is like white porcelain, and the runes on his chest are highlighted more vividly - this is the symbol of the marriage contract. On his chest, there are exactly the same runes that match this one.
After confirming that this person belongs to him completely, Yaozu's dark eyes shone with gentle light. Yu Huai kissed him on the forehead and said softly, "Go to sleep."
After he finished speaking, he got up and planned to leave. The person on the bed moved his legs at this moment, Xu Yinian gradually opened his eyes in a daze: "... Yu Huai?"
There was only one dim light in the room. Xu Yinian was dizzy and could barely see who was standing by the bed: "Where are you going?"
"What do you think?" Seeing his sleepy look, Yu Huai couldn't help pinching his face, "Forgot what day it is today?"
It was only then that Xu Yinian remembered that the room was full of guests downstairs, but he didn't want to be separated from Yu Huai as soon as he opened his eyes. I don't know if it was affected by the marriage contract, but he couldn't help but want to get close to Yu Huai. Xu Yinian took his hand like a fool, although he didn't say anything, the intention to keep him was obvious.
It's rare to meet him acting like a baby, Yu Huai almost wants to stay here with him. But it would be unreasonable if they were both absent.
"Everyone saw that I carried you up, if you don't go down..." Yu Huai deliberately slowed down his speech, with an ambiguous tone, "Guess what other people think we are doing in the room?"
Xu Yinian's movements froze, his fair ears slowly turned crimson, and he let go of Yu Huai: "Oh, then go downstairs quickly."
The Yaozu in front of him did not leave immediately. Yu Huai seemed to have no intention of asking: "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Speaking of this, Xu Yinian's face collapsed: "Have you ever seen Nanhai City at three o'clock in the morning? I have."
"I'm engaged to me, have you been excited all night?" Yu Huai smiled.
"..." Xu Yinian was caught off guard and fell into a trap, Yu Huai leaned down and rubbed his auricles with his fingertips: "Why are your ears getting redder and redder?"
Xu Yinian became furious, and slapped his troublesome hand away: "You know everything and ask, can you understand something?"
Seeing that his fingertips started to emit electricity, Yu Huai knew that he was driving him into a hurry.
"Don't ask, don't ask, don't shock me." Yu Huai suppressed a smile, and finally rubbed his head, "I'm going downstairs, you have a good rest."
Xu Yinian was about to fall back on the bed when Yu Huai suddenly turned around: "Sleep together tonight?"
The fingers under the quilt involuntarily grasped the sheet, Xu Yinian pretended to be calm and nodded: "Yes."
When Yu Huai closed the door and walked away, Xu Yinian touched the marriage contract on his chest. Thinking that Yu Huai also carried the same contract with him, the corners of Xu Yinian's lips raised unconsciously.
He thought that this contract would last forever, but within half a year, the reality hit him hard.
It was a rainy day, with what seemed like a never-ending downpour accompanied by bursts of thunder. Xu Yinian was at home on vacation. He always slept well, but that night he was inexplicably irritable and unable to sleep. He got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, the living room downstairs was brightly lit, and he saw Tang Fei coming in the rain.
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu sat on the sofa neatly dressed. Seeing him coming out in pajamas, Mrs. Xu's eyes were red and she forced a smile: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I can't sleep." The premonition in Xu Yinian's heart became stronger and stronger, especially when he found that the eyes of the adults in the room looked at him differently, Xu Yinian couldn't help asking, "What happened? It's midnight Yes, Master, why are you here?"
Xu's father wanted to answer, but Xu's mother stretched out her hand and patted him, with a natural attitude: "It's nothing, Mr. Tang has something to discuss with us, you go to rest first."
Father Xu hesitated to speak, but Tang Fei suddenly pointed his eyes to his side: "Xiao Nian, come and sit here."
"Mr. Tang!" Mother Xu suddenly raised her voice, looking flustered, "Let him go to bed tonight."
Father Xu held his wife's hand at this moment, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Nian, go to your master's side."
Xu Yinian went directly to Tang Fei and sat down, realizing that the matter might be related to him, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"An accident happened to the ghost clan. The whole clan encountered an accident during the mission, and all but Yu Huai survived." Tang Fei's dark eyes were like a cold pool, and Xu Yinian saw his own stiff face in it, "Yu Huai suffered The stimulation was too great, and the madness went wild, killing all the evil spirit masters who participated in the assistance."
The room was terribly quiet, and Xu's father and Xu's mother on the opposite side looked at him worriedly. After a while, Xu Yinian finally heard his own trembling voice: "What did you say...?"
"The Demon Elimination Bureau has issued a warrant for him." Tang Fei reminded, "If he contacts you, you must notify the Demon Elimination Bureau as soon as possible."
"No, Yu Huai won't kill people!" Xu Yinian stood up suddenly, his breathing gradually became short of breath, "There must be some misunderstanding, how could he kill so many people for no reason?!...Aunt Xuan ? Where is Aunt Xuan...!!"
"Five hours ago, the General Administration confirmed Xuan Tan's death."
"No...it must not be like this!" Xu Yinian rushed to the doctor in a sudden illness, and he grabbed Tang Fei's arm with all his strength, "Master, you must know what's going on, can you tell me? Demon master... Has anyone seen Yu Huai? How is he now?!"
"Xiao Nian!" Mother Xu raised her voice when she saw that he had scratched Tang Fei's arm. Tang Fei shook his head and said it was okay, he patted Xu Yinian on the back reassuringly, when the young man looked over hopefully, Tang Fei said in a low voice: "No one has seen Yu Huai, killed hundreds of monsters Yu Huai, the master's empress, is nowhere to be found, and the General Administration is trying to find his whereabouts."
The light in Xu Yinian's eyes suddenly went out.
He couldn't remember what happened afterwards, nor how long Tang Fei left. There was a strong wind and heavy rain outside the window. Xu Yinian returned to the room and contacted Yu Huai with the marriage contract without hesitation, but he did not get any response for a long time. Thinking that Yu Huai might not be able to respond to his call because of his extreme weakness, Xu Yinian was restless, grabbed a coat and pushed open the door.
As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Xu's mother who was sleeping lightly on the sofa downstairs.
Xu's mother has obvious bruises under her eyes, and her expression is tired, obviously she has been staying here all the time. She asked softly: "It's almost dawn, where do you want to go?"
"I… "
"Your father rushed to the headquarters overnight, and Mr. Tang also promised to help find out the news as much as possible." She walked up the stairs, wrapping her warm hands around the young man's thin shoulders, "Don't think too much, get a good sleep first. It's really uncomfortable Just talk to mom."
Xu Yinian couldn't take it anymore, hugged her and cried bitterly.
He didn't expect that when the sky was bright, what he was waiting for was news that completely broke him down.
The Monster Elimination Bureau found Yu Huai, and under heavy pursuit, the seriously injured Yu Huai fled into the boneyard, and the Monster Elimination Bureau had no choice but to stop there.
Xu Yinian ran out of the room regardless of Xu's mother's obstruction. Just as he was about to rush out of Xu's house, the oncoming demon exorcist grabbed his shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Tang Fei asked coldly.
"I'm going to find Yu Huai!"
"He's in the boneyard! Are you going to die too?"
"Yes!" Xu Yinian was emotionally excited, and a dazzling lightning burst out from his body in an instant, "Don't stop me!"
Tang Fei was not affected in the slightest, he held Xu Yinian tightly with his fingers, and seeing the intense aggressiveness between the young man's brows, Tang Fei suddenly let go: "I won't stop you, but you have to let Lan do the trick first. Life."
Xu Yinian was taken aback: "What?"
"Your life may conflict with Yu Huai's."
The fortune teller following Tang Fei stepped forward at this moment, his elegant and handsome face rarely showed pity: "Master Xu, let me do the calculation for you again."
There are three types of life, day life, white night life and fierce life. The fate of the day is bright and bright, and the future is bright; the fate of the night is half-light and half-dark, which is also the fate of most people, and finally it is the evil, dark and treacherous.
In the first grade textbook of Fengqiao College, there is a very easy-to-understand short story about the three kinds of fate: there is a family, the father and mother are both Bai Yeming, and the couple were happy and harmonious until they had a child.
The newborn child is fierce, but the couple still love him very much, and his father spends a lot of time with him every day. As the child grew older, the father encountered bad things one after another. At first, he fell while walking and was hit by a parabolic object that fell from the sky. Later, when he was walking at night, he fell from a mountain path into an abyss and was smashed to pieces.
The child killed his father, but his mother was not affected at all. She lived a peaceful life and died in bed.
Daytime Fate and Fierce Fate are not subject to external interference, but Baiye Fate fluctuates and may change with external factors. But the chance of conflict between life and life is very small. The two couples in the story are both Bai Ye's life, but the son only killed his father.
Some people cannot be father and son, and naturally some cannot be brothers, friends, or lovers.
"A few months ago, I did a fortune-telling for Yu Huai." Lan and Xu Yinian interlocked their fingers, the fortune teller's eyes flowed like clouds, "You should know that he is Bai Yeming."
Xu Yinian didn't speak.
Theoretically speaking, his fate may indeed clash with Yu Huai. But no one has ever cared about this possibility. The chance of a collision between fate and fate is too small, and within a century, the whole world may not be able to find a pair of unlucky ghosts who are in conflict.
This time the fortune-telling time was longer than every time in the past. Lan's forehead was soaked in cold sweat. The strength of his grip on Xu Yinian continued to increase, and finally, Lan's fingers began to tremble.
The look in his eyes made Xu Yinian feel uneasy, and at the end of the fortune-telling, he urged: "Quickly tell me! What's going on?"
"You and Yu Huai can't love each other." Lan's face was pale, and he was palpitating because of the calculated facts, "You can be enemies or friends, but you can't be lovers alone. If you love each other, all the murders you will do in the future will be done by him Repay. You should know that in your horoscope... "
Xu Yinian couldn't hear what Lan said behind him. An unprecedented sense of despair overwhelmed him, Xu Yinian was dizzy and fell to his knees on the ground.
His life sign has as many heads as the sea hanging high, and the bones as high as the mountain are endless.
Tat for tat, this mountain of corpses and sea of blood that he personally created in the future has already been returned to Yu Huai in advance.
Lan Yu couldn't bear it, and wanted to help him up, Xu Yinian suddenly grabbed Lan's arm, his voice hoarse: "So Yu Huai became like this... Is it all because of me?"
Lan could only answer truthfully: "Although conflicts between fate and fate are rare, once they happen, they are irreversible."
Xu Yinian lowered his hands dejectedly.
He lowered his head, clenched his teeth tightly, and walked straight forward after a while. Lan saw that the situation was not good: "Master Xu!"
Tang Fei stood in front of Xu Yinian: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to find Yu Huai." Xu Yinian's eyes turned red, "The marriage contract has not been terminated, he is still alive, I'm going to help him!"
Tang Fei was extremely surprised, and snapped: "Did you understand? You will only harm him if you get close to him! What is the boneyard, how could you go in alone?!"
Tang Fei's questioning put the bloody facts before his eyes. Xu Yinian was pushed to the extreme, and his palms overflowed with lightning. Seeing him attacking Tang Fei regardless, Xu's mother, who had been standing far away, panicked: "Little Year!!"
With a loud bang, the thunder and lightning that exploded from Xu Yinian's body smashed the ground into deep pits, and the garden full of flowers and plants instantly became potholed. Xu Yinian and Tang Fei both jumped up, the boy's cheeks were bloodstained by flying sand and rocks, but Tang Fei didn't even breathe disorderly.
Half of Xu Yinian's skills were taught by Tang Fei. Facing the irrational Xu Yinian, Tang Fei didn't even make a move, only dodging his attacks repeatedly. The sharp thunder sounded like weeping, and Tang Fei caught Xu Yinian's attack with all his might.
Tang Fei refused to give an inch, Xu Yinian's eyes were about to burst, and he yelled at him, "Get out of the way!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Fei's figure suddenly disappeared. Xu Yinian didn't even have time to react when a burst of pain came from the back of his head. He suddenly lost consciousness and fell into Tang Fei's arms.
