"I'm not your lover!" Chi Ruanfan couldn't help but say.
"But you smell like me."
Jinzhu reached out and gently played with Chi Ruanfan's hair, then slowly looked down, "On the hair, on the clothes, and on the pants..."
Chi Ruanfan suddenly grabbed Jinzhu's hand that was reaching down, gritted his teeth and said:
"This has nothing to do with our relationship!"
It was clearly the scent left by Jinzhu that infected his world, but in the end, the other party took it as proof of their close relationship. It was too ridiculous.
"How is it irrelevant?" Jinzhu still had a gentle smile in her eyes, as if she was indulging her grumpy little lover.
He said, "I can make your clothes be stained with my consciousness. At least I hugged you for a whole night after you put on this set of clothes."
Having said this, Jinzhu frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Why did he hug each other like this all night
What he meant was that he actually let his lover keep her clothes on all night!
This is not what a qualified partner should do. No wonder your lover left in anger.
Before Jinzhu could figure it out, her thoughts were interrupted by Chi Ruanfan's voice.
"It's obviously only half a day!" Chi Ruanfan retorted harshly.
He only wore this suit for one morning, so it's impossible for the bamboo to be infected for so long.
"Oh, it's half a day." Jinzhu acted as if something suddenly occurred to her and looked at Chi Ruanfan with a smile in her eyes.
Before, he was angry and said that he was not his lover, but now he refused to admit it.
Chi Ruanfan realized that his words were ambiguous, and he couldn't think of how to refute it, so he could only say:
"Anyway, we're not that kind of relationship."
"Yeah?"
Jinzhu lowered her eyes to glance at the hand held by Chi Ruanfan, then slowly raised her eyes, her gaze suddenly sharp.
"You're not my lover, but you smell like me. Are you my... enemy?"
As Jinzhu finished his words, a large cloud of black fog rose from behind him and condensed into the shape of a ghost.
The black fog monster raised its sharp claws, exposed its fangs, and roared at Chi Ruanfan.
“Ouch—”
Chi Ruanfan remained indifferent.
He and Jinzhu have experienced thousands of worlds, and he knows Jinzhu too well.
If Jinzhu had any hostile intent, he would never have simulated a ghost and roared at people to scare them.
What's more... Jinzhu didn't even bother to scare him. This ghost didn't look ferocious at all, and at first glance it even had a kind of fierce and cute feeling.
Chi Ruanfan stared at Jinzhu until Jinzhu broke down his defense.
"How could we be enemies?" Jinzhu could no longer maintain his vicious expression, and put away the ghosts condensed by the black mist, saying:
"I don't bother to infect my enemy's clothes and make them carry my consciousness, and... I liked you as soon as I saw you."
Chi Ruanfan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He noticed that Jinzhu's eyes were slightly bent, and a suspicious red color appeared on her face.
If Jinzhu used to pester him relentlessly, it was because he completed the game, which made Jinzhu unwilling but also concerned.
So why now
Jinzhu clearly has no memory of him now, so why would she say such things
"You are really mistaken. I am just a newcomer who has just entered the infinite world. I have nothing to do with you."
Chi Ruanfan hurriedly denied it, and without waiting for Jinzhu's reaction, he let go of Jinzhu's wrist and walked quickly past him.
"Just assume that I was wrong. This is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other again."
Jinzhu followed behind Chi Ruanfan with a look of indulgence in her eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
"I don't have any memory of the other world yet, so I can start from scratch. Can you give me a chance? I've also been working hard to improve my skills."
It would have been fine if Jinzhu didn't mention the last sentence. Once she mentioned it, Chi Ruanfan just wanted to build a space channel and escape from this world overnight.
But his special abilities were still restricted and he couldn't use them at all.
He could only move forward with his head down, hoping that Jinzhu would get tired of playing and leave.
But Jinzhu kept following him, always looking very interested.
"At least tell me your name."
Jinzhu followed behind Chi Ruanfan. His powerful aura made the ghosts and monsters within a radius of ten miles flee. However, he only looked at the person in front of him with a gentle gaze. "My lover is right in front of me, but I don't even know his name. This is too cruel."
"Chi Ruanfan."
After being asked more than ten times, Chi Ruanfan finally said his name.
Along the way, he had been worn out by Jinzhu and had given up explaining the relationship between them.
Jinzhu didn't believe it at all, he only believed what he thought.
"Chi Ruanfan..." Jinzhu said softly, as if she wanted to savor the name on her tongue.
He smiled and said, "I'll remember it well."
These words made Chi Ruanfan's heart skip a beat, and he had a bad premonition for a moment.
It seemed that Jinzhu had said something similar before, shortly after they first met.
When he first entered the infinite world, he struggled to survive in a land full of ghosts and monsters. He accidentally saw a human boy surrounded by ghosts and monsters.
At that time, he still had the kindness and recklessness of a young man.
He sneaked up, knocked down two ghosts, and then ran away with the human boy.
He thought he had saved the other person.
If you think about it carefully, in such a horrible world, surrounded by a group of ghosts, there was no fear on the boy's face.
How could such a being be an ordinary person
Later the boy asked him his name and he answered truthfully.
At that time, Jinzhu, with a harmless look on his face, whispered his name and said that he remembered it.
As a result, Jinzhu memorized thousands of worlds for him, and even after he passed the test and left the infinite world, the other party still kept chasing him.
Thinking of the past, Chi Ruanfan said with fear:
"No, no, you should forget me as soon as possible."
Jinzhu did not respond, but only glanced at the stone mountain on the side and asked Chi Ruanfan:
"We're at my place now. Do you want to come in and rest for a while? Xiaoruan... Um, can I call you that? Xiaoruan."
Chi Ruanfan also looked towards the dark stone mountain.
He was just walking aimlessly down there, and he actually ended up at Jinzhu's residence
Just as I was wondering, I heard the name Jinzhu.
The familiar name made Chi Ruanfan feel complicated.
Should we say that they are indeed the same person? Even the nicknames we gave him after knowing his name are exactly the same.
Yes, a nickname.
Jinzhu once said that the name was full of love for him.
The love from the boss is really creepy.
"It seems that our relationship is not yet that close now?" Chi Ruanfan asked back.
"Yeah?"
Jinzhu didn't understand the complexity of interpersonal communication. Since Chi Ruanfan said they weren't familiar enough, he went along with it and said, "Then I'll call you 'Xiaoruan' tomorrow."
As she spoke, Jinzhu gracefully extended her hand and made an invitation gesture to Chi Ruanfan.
Invite Chi Ruanfan to come into his residence to rest.
"Do you think we can become intimate in just one night?"
Chi Ruanfan said something in a low voice, and walked towards the stone mountain.
It was just a half-day walk, which was nothing considering his physique.
But going on like this was not a solution. With Jinzhu following him, the ghosts and monsters were fleeing from afar, and there was nothing he could do.
Instead of continuing to wander around the world, it’s better to find a place to calm down.
The residence that Jinzhu mentioned was a cave in a rocky mountain.
The cave was empty. If it weren't for the scent of Jinzhu, Chi Ruanfan would have thought it was the lair of some low-level ghost.
The boss's residence is really plain and simple.
Jinzhu noticed Chi Ruanfan's gaze. He paused slightly, then looked around the cave, with a rare look of embarrassment on his face.
He used to live alone and didn't think anything of it, but when his lover came to his place, he found that his place was too simple.
There isn’t even a seat. Does that mean his lover has to stand all the time
"Wait a moment, I'll go out and borrow a chair." Jinzhu said, then turned into black mist and left.
Borrow a chair
In this world full of ghosts, are there really such things as chairs
Chi Ruanfan stood at the entrance of the cave waiting.
Not long after, he saw Jinzhu leading a large ball of black mist walking towards him from afar.
There were some white things faintly wrapped in the black fog.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. The chair will be ready soon." Jinzhu greeted Chi Ruanfan and led the black mist ball several people tall into the cave.
The black fog dissipated, revealing something that had been carried along along the way.
Those were the skeletons of various ghosts and monsters, pure white and translucent, as if they had just been peeled off from the flesh and skin.
Chi Ruanfan: “…”
What a great idea!
There seems to be a picture in my mind.
The Ghost King knocked on the doors of the ghosts one by one, expressed his desire to borrow their skeletons in a friendly manner, and then devoured them until only bones were left.
"Make a chair and a bed, and we can start practicing tonight and improve our skills."
Jinzhu said, reaching out to grab a skull, and turned back to ask Chi Ruanfan:
"Which one do you want to use as a pillow?"
Chi Ruanfan: "... I don't have your perverted hobbies."
Chi Ruanfan turned around and walked out of the cave, then found a random rock outside to sit down.
Inside the cave, Jinzhu thought silently for a while, then let go of the skull and whispered:
"Then don't be a pillow. Xiaoruan can rest on my arm, or on my chest, or on my abdominal muscles, or on my legs."
Chi Ruanfan outside covered his ears tightly.
He now hopes that his five-ball can return to the strength of his rookie period.
After an unknown amount of time, Jinzhu walked out of the cave, came to Chi Ruanfan's side, and invited him:
"I have decorated my home, come and see if you like it."
"No need," Chi Ruanfan covered his head and pretended to be an ostrich, "It's fine outside, I'll end the game here."
"Is it here?" Jinzhu glanced around.
Outside the cave was a vast open space, with only a few low rocks that could not block anything.
"So... you like being outdoors."
Jinzhu raised his hand and took off his coat.
The black coat fell to the ground, and the corner of the coat just landed on Chi Ruanfan's shoes.
Chi Ruanfan, who was pretending to be an ostrich, paused, looked up in surprise, and saw Jinzhu lifting up her inner clothes.
"What are you going to do?!" Chi Ruanfan quickly held Jinzhu's hand.
"The red moon is rising."
Jinzhu looked at Chi Ruanfan. Behind him, a blood-red moon was hanging high in the sky.
He said slowly: "After the red moon rises, the ghosts and monsters entangle with each other until the red moon sets."
