Tang Ning changed into the same clothes as Mo Yunchu. It seemed that Mo Yunchu had prepared these couple outfits long ago.
They put on the same masks and baseball caps again.
The process was arranged by Mo Yunchu, so Tang Ning knew nothing about it. He walked into the door hand in hand with Mo Yunchu, looking forward to it like opening a blind box.
I thought it was just a casual date like going to see a movie or have a meal, but Mo Yunchu took Tangning to the airport.
The destination is a small city.
Tang Ning searched for this city and found that it was not a tourist city or any famous places. It was just a small county town in the 18th tier.
Although he was a little curious as to why Mo Yunchu took him to this place, Tang Ning tried hard to suppress his curiosity. On the plane, Tang Ning had been watching the movies that Mo Yunchu had acted in in the past. He really liked Mo Yunchu's appearance in a fairy-tale-themed work. He looked ethereal and awe-inspiring, so Tang Ning specially took several screenshots from the movie.
After getting off the plane, Mo Yunchu drove Tang Ning to the hospital.
Tangning was getting more and more confused. If Mo Yunchu wanted to take him to see a doctor, he should go to a big city, right? The medical resources in this small county didn't look very good. Did some great experts fly here
Tang Ning looked at Mo Yunchu curiously, and Mo Yunchu smiled at him mysteriously.
People come and go in the hospital, most of them are in a hurry with sad faces, and the atmosphere is always depressing.
Mo Yunchu took Tang Ning to the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department, found a seat for Tang Ning to sit and wait, and then he left in a hurry.
Tangning sat in the aisle seat in a daze, looking at the pregnant women and their accompanying family members.
Why did you come to the obstetrics and gynecology department? That's too weird.
Just as Tang Ning was thinking this, he felt a gaze hidden in the dark. Tang Ning frowned and turned around, and saw a man in his twenties hiding behind the pregnant woman and looking at him. When he saw the pregnant woman turn around, the man was a little evasive.
Tangning frowned and stared at the sneaky-looking man.
Wait, isn't this...
Paparazzi taking pictures?!
Instantly, numerous entertainment news headlines flashed through Tangning's mind, including news of Mo Yunchu bringing a mysterious person into the obstetrics and gynecology department, Mo Yunchu's lover suspected to be pregnant, and other explosive news.
Tangning narrowed his eyes. While he was thinking about what to do next, the man walked up from behind the pregnant woman. He came to her awkwardly and said, "Hello, excuse me, but my wife said you are very pretty and she wanted to see what you look like under your mask. It's her. After she got pregnant, she wanted to see more pretty people. She thought that the baby she would have would be better looking."
Tangning blinked blankly. He tilted his head and saw the pregnant woman behind the man smiling shyly at him. She looked very young, in her early twenties, with delicate features. She didn't look like an expectant mother, but more like a little girl.
Tangning looked at the husband who was talking to her. The husband obviously felt that he was being too abrupt and his face turned red.
Tangning curled his eyes, took off his mask and smiled at the pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman let out a very quiet "wow" and thanked Tangning even more awkwardly while holding her belly.
The husband quickly apologized to Tangning, and then the young couple left happily. As they left, Tangning vaguely heard the two of them talking: "If my baby is as good-looking as him, I'll be satisfied." "His parents must be very good-looking too." "..."
Mom and Dad
What kind of people are his parents
Tang Ning sat on the bench in a daze for a while, he looked at the pregnant women coming and going, their big bellies contained a young life.
Did his parents also walk down similar corridors and look at beautiful photos in anticipation of his birth
"Xiao Ning, I'm fine." Mo Yunchu's voice interrupted Tang Ning's trance.
Tang Ning came to his senses and looked at Mo Yunchu who had appeared in front of him out of nowhere.
In Mo Yunchu's hand was a thin, old-looking piece of paper. If Tangning was mistaken, Mo Yunchu had gone to the hospital with all the trouble just to get a piece of... paper
As Tangning stared at him in confusion, Mo Yunchu turned the paper over and saw a small red footprint.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and saw the words "Tang Ning" written in a flamboyant style in the corner of the footprint.
This is his newborn footprint archival material.
"Is this... the hospital where I was born?" Tangning asked blankly.
Mo Yunchu nodded.
"Is this city my hometown?" Tangning continued to ask in a daze.
Mo Yunchu continued to nod.
Tangning placed his hand on the too-small footprint. It was hard for him to imagine that he was only this small when he was born. "… What a pity! I don't remember anything."
"It doesn't matter. When you were born, you also didn't remember anything." Mo Yunchu held Tangning's hand. He was like a guide, leading Tangning, who had no idea about the world, forward. "Do you know where we're going next?"
Tang Ning shook his head, and his confused eyes brightened up. He was full of anticipation for this unusual date.
Mo Yunchu has a car, and he and Tang Ning ride shared bicycles to travel around this small county town.
The breeze felt so comfortable on her body. Tangning passed by a shop on the roadside and couldn't help but say, "Here, look."
Mo Yunchu stopped the car and looked in the direction Tang Ning mentioned. He saw a poster of Mo Yunchu in front of an ordinary store. The Mo Yunchu on the poster was smiling affectionately.
In reality, Mo Yunchu looked at Tang Ning at this moment and smiled with the same affectionate smile, even more tenderly.
They set out on their journey again, Mo Yunchu riding in front and Tang Ning following behind. There were few people and vehicles in the small county town, and the light seemed to slow down.
They rode in places with shade, and spots of light filtered by the leaves fell on them one after another. Mo Yunchu turned into an alley, and Tang Ning heard a rustling sound. He looked up and saw a kindergarten full of colorful windmills flying in the sky, as if woven from a rainbow.
Sitting under the windmill was an old woman with a hunched back. She seemed to be playing the role of a gatekeeper, or just an ordinary old woman taking a nap in the sun.
Mo Yunchu stopped the car, and Tang Ning also stopped the car.
Through the fence he could vaguely see children sitting in the houses.
"Is this the kindergarten that my childhood sweetheart attended?" Tangning asked Mo Yunchu.
Mo Yunchu nodded and pointed at the gray-haired old lady. "This is the headmaster, but she just got Alzheimer's this year."
While Mo Yunchu and Tang Ning were whispering, the old woman suddenly nodded her head heavily. She was startled out of her sleep and her reading glasses almost fell off her nose.
Tangning looked at the old man, who also looked at him. Suddenly, he called out to him in a thick dialect, "Ningning—"
Tangning was stunned for a moment and took a step forward. The old man said, "Xiaohua... Zhou..."
She kept repeating the names of her children one by one. Unlike Tang Ning who had forgotten everything, this old woman stopped at the past.
Tang Ning got on his bike again and rode with Mo Yunchu to this corner of the city. It was now the rush hour after get off work and school, and there were suddenly more and more vehicles. Tang Ning saw elementary school students in school uniforms queuing to cross the road, junior high school students eating at roadside stalls, and high school students carrying large backpacks.
"The school uniform is a bit ugly," Tangning commented.
Mo Yunchu said: "Indeed, but when I imagine Xiao Ning wearing this dress, it doesn't seem to be bad."
Tangning looked at Mo Yunchu, "Does your school also use this uniform?"
Mo Yunchu shook his head, "It's a small suit."
Tangning couldn't help but say, "I really want to see your school photos."
He glanced at Tangning with his phoenix eyes. In fact, he had a cold and reserved look on his face. He just leaned closer to Tangning, and his eyes were always filled with tenderness. "I'll show you my home."
Tangning and Mo Yunchu's heartbeat quickened when they saw this. He couldn't help but look away and pointed at a pair of middle school students not far away to divert their attention. "Hmm, are they secretly dating?"
The little boy and the young man walked side by side, and they looked very well matched.
"It seems so." Mo Yunchu suddenly asked seriously, "Did Xiaoning have a secret relationship?"
Tangning suddenly became nervous, "…I think there should be one, right?"
The green light is on.
Mo Yunchu and Tangning continued riding their bikes. Tangning heard Mo Yunchu's voice floating over from the side, with some emotion that Tangning couldn't understand: "Sometimes, I think it's good that Xiaoning has lost his memory."
Tangning was a little confused, "Why?"
"In this case, I am the only one Xiao Ning likes." When Tang Ning heard Mo Yunchu say this, he subconsciously looked at Mo Yunchu, who had ruthless eyes, a high nose bridge, and a figure that made him feel safe.
Mo Yunchu should be obsessed with his ex Lu Yingxing, right
Tangning guessed as he tried to comfort Mo Yunchu, "Didn't I like you the most before I lost my memory?"
Mo Yunchu laughed muffledly from behind the mask: "Yes, but I'm still jealous."
"Jealous of my past self."
He spoke very frankly, and his tone was relaxed, like a special love talk. Tang Ning also laughed easily after hearing it. He did not notice as he was riding his bike that when Mo Yunchu said jealousy, his phoenix eyes were so deep and dark that they frightened the onlookers.
"It doesn't matter. I like you the most right now," Tangning said.
Mo Yunchu smiled gently, and his thick eyelashes covered the dim light in his eyes.
The roadside food stalls were filled with delicious aromas, so Tangning stopped the car to buy some food. Then, in order to eat more conveniently, they decided to walk.
Barbecue, candied haws, milk tea, glutinous rice cakes…
Tang Ning spent an afternoon reading the student history of the children in this small county. Although he still couldn't remember the past, his mind was finally no longer blank.
They stopped in front of a cake shop.
Mo Yunchu walked in, and after a while he came back with bags of things. "This is the only cake shop near your home. You should have eaten the cakes here. Eat more of their food. Maybe you can recover your memory sooner?"
It's getting late now.
Mo Yunchu took Tang Ning on a bus to the lakeside park in the small county town, which was rarely lively in the evening.
Many old people and children were walking and playing in the park. Mo Yunchu and Tang Ning came to a secluded place near a rockery and there was a lake not far away.
"Close your eyes." Mo Yunchu said to Tang Ning.
Tangning closed his eyes. He heard some slight noises. It seemed that Mo Yunchu was busy doing something on the grass. There was also the sound of square dance music floating in the distance, the laughter of children, the barking of pet dogs, and then, Mo Yunchu clapped his hands and sang, "Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"
Tang Ning opened his eyes and saw a tablecloth spread on the grass. There were twenty-two candles on the cake. The orange-red candlelight flickered romantically in the dim night. The candlelight illuminated the gifts placed next to the cake, as well as Mo Yunchu who was looking at him with a smile.
"Happy birthday, Xiaoning." Mo Yunchu's gentle congratulations came to my ears.
Tang Ning seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly picked up his phone to check the date. He discovered that if he remembered correctly, the newborn's footprint file had actually told him the birthday long ago.
He forgot everything, including that today was his birthday.
"Hurry up and make a wish first, then blow out the candles." Mo Yunchu said softly.
Tang Ning stared at Mo Yunchu, who was full of doting. His handsome face was stained with the warm yellow candlelight. He didn't know what was suddenly touched in his heart, causing him to feel numb.
Tangning clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently said in her heart, "I hope Mo Yunchu can live a happy life."
"Is the promise ready?" Mo Yunchu asked.
Tang Ning opened his eyes and nodded vigorously. He took a deep breath and blew out all the candles in one breath.
Although the light had dimmed, there were still lights in other parts of the park that were flickering, like stars.
They ate birthday cake together and opened birthday presents.
Mo Yunchu sent several copies.
The first one was an exquisite longevity lock, for a newborn baby. The second one was a lollipop that the advertiser claimed could never be eaten up. It looked like a birthday present for Tangning in kindergarten. The third one was a pen that looked ordinary. Mo Yunchu said it was a gift for Tangning after she started school.
As for the last gift, Mo Yunchu said to Tangning apologetically that time was too rushed and he was still preparing it. He would definitely give it to Tangning in the next few days.
In fact, Tang Ning was already very happy regardless of the last gift.
Tang Ning was so happy that she kissed Mo Yunchu.
Kiss on the lips.
It was a creamy kiss, and control shifted from Tangning to Mo Yunchu. In that minute, Tangning fell onto the picnic blanket. When the kiss ended, he felt a little dizzy, his lips were rosy, and his eyes were hazy, like a tempting dessert.
He stared at the bright stars twinkling in the night sky and found that everything was just perfect.
They flew back home together.
In the next room, Mo Yunchu told Tangning that he was busy filming a new movie. Tangning was curious about the script, so Mo Yunchu explained it to her in detail before going to bed: "It's a Chinese horror movie. I play a Taoist priest who is responsible for exorcising demons."
Tangning exclaimed.
Domestic horror films in general, especially those with Chinese themes, are basically bad movies. The plots that Mo Yunchu told Tang Ning every night were very good. For example, Mo Yunchu said that the Taoist priest eliminated something related to the mother-evil. He described the part related to the mother-evil in a very terrifying way. Tang Ning shrank into Mo Yunchu's arms halfway through listening to it.
Mo Yunchu was only wearing a nightgown. Tangning could press her face against Mo Yunchu's chest, feeling the slight vibration coming from his chest. His deep laughter made Tangning's ears red. "Xiaoning, why are you so timid?"
Tangning gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not scared, I just want to hug you."
His sweet words made Mo Yunchu smile even more gently.
Mo Yunchu also stopped talking and reached out to hug Tangning, "I want to hug Xiaoning too."
They hugged each other and fell into a sweet dream.
The next day, when Mo Yunchu came to the shoot, Tangning noticed that Mo Yunchu's face had turned much paler. It seemed that the high-intensity workload had taken a toll on him. This made Tangning feel distressed, especially since he saw many strange marks on Mo Yunchu's body. Some looked like ghost handprints, and some looked like ghost eyes. Tangning only took a quick glance and felt terrified.
Mo Yunchu told him that this was done by a special effects artist. The plot of the Taoist priest recently reached the point where he was seriously injured while trying to exorcise demons. As this section of the plot was quite long and would have to be filmed for a few more days, if he had to go to the crew every day and spend one or two hours applying the special effects makeup, it would be better to just apply it on the first day and not remove it.
"Won't this cause any damage to the skin?" Tang Ning asked worriedly.
"Yes, it's a special pigment. There's no harm in that." Mo Yunchu said with a smile.
Hearing Mo Yunchu's words, Tangning felt relieved. He rested his head on Mo Yunchu's shoulder, "Didn't you say that the Taoist priest in this script was very powerful? Then why was he injured so badly?"
Mo Yunchu told Tangning, "Because he wants to eliminate all the demons and monsters in the world in a short period of time."
Tangning opened her eyes wide, "Why?"
"Keep it secret for now." Mo Yunchu said deliberately.
Tang Ning snorted unhappily. He felt that Mo Yunchu was a really bad person. How could he cut off the story halfway through
"Is this Taoist priest capable? There are so many ghosts and monsters in the world, how can he eliminate them all in one go?" Tang Ning asked again.
"I don't know either." Mo Yunchu said.
"You're selling out again." Tangning cuddled up to Mo Yunchu like a clingy kitten and said, "Mo Yunchu, can I come to the set to see you?"
Mo Yunchu was busy filming these past two days, so Tang Ning was alone at home. He had lost his memory, and no one he knew, including those crazy-looking friends who seemed to have their own things to do, could get in touch with him. Tang Ning could only watch the works that Mo Yunchu had performed in at home. In these two days, he had already watched all of Mo Yunchu's works.
"Missed me?" Mo Yunchu asked.
Tangning nodded honestly.
"It's not too late to go to the set, but I can ask the director for half a day off tomorrow. How about I take you out to play for half a day tomorrow?" Mo Yunchu discussed with Tangning.
Tang Ning was a very easy person to coax, so he happily agreed. After drinking the bedtime milk that Mo Yunchu gave him, Tang Ning fell into a sweet dream again.
After Tang Ning's breathing maintained a stable frequency, Mo Yunchu, who was sleeping in the same bed with him, quietly got out of bed.
He left this sweet home like a ghost.
Shortly after leaving the house, he suddenly bent down, covered his mouth, and started coughing violently.
Blood oozed from between his fingers.
The little bit of blood faded from his already pale face.
"What do you want to do?" The gravekeeper walked out of the darkness. He frowned and looked at the weak Mo Yunchu: "If you continue like this, you will die."
Mo Yunchu spoke, he stopped coughing, straightened up, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, and carefully wiped the blood off his hands.
"If it's just to exorcise demons, why are you in such a hurry?" The gravekeeper took another look at the bus not far away. There was only one passenger sitting on the bus, Hao Shaoping, who was so thin that he looked like an unrecognizable person. Although only Hao Shaoping's shoulders and profile were exposed in the bus window, the gravekeeper could feel from his sunken cheeks that Hao Shaoping had definitely not had a good life in the past few days.
"Mo Yunchu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Mo Yunchu tidied up his appearance and regained his usual calm and elegance: "It has nothing to do with you."
"How can it have nothing to do with me? You clearly promised me that you would never die easily—" The gravekeeper hadn't finished his words when Mo Yunchu walked around him and got on the ghost bus. He saw that the moment Mo Yunchu got on the bus, Hao Shaoping, with a dazed expression, started screaming wildly as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
The gravekeeper was a little stunned.
He had never seen his junior fellow apprentice in such a collapsed state. It was hard to imagine what had happened to Hao Shaoping. Hao Shaoping turned his head in the car window and saw the gravekeeper on the roadside. He slapped the car window with his hands like a savior and kept shouting something, which seemed to be "Senior brother, save me" from his lip movements.
Mo Yunchu sat by the window on the bus, looking calmly and indifferently at the gravekeeper on the roadside.
In the darkness, the pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes emitted a dim light.
The gravekeeper moved, and he was a little... scared.
He was afraid of this weird little junior brother. In fact, from the very beginning, when he saw Mo Yunchu who was still a baby, he was afraid of this thing from the bottom of his heart.
The bus drove away.
If the gravekeeper also got on the car, he would see Hao Shaoping's bulging belly...
There are hundreds of densely packed ghost faces printed on it.
…
Tang Ning woke up and waited for her appointment with Mo Yunchu.
Tang Ning was looking forward to this day before going to bed, but unfortunately the weather was not good and it was raining today.
The whole world seemed shrouded in a gloom.
Tang Ning was a little unhappy when he heard the sound of rain as soon as he opened his eyes, because this meant that their originally agreed skydiving plan had to be cancelled.
When Tangning was feeling depressed, the door suddenly opened. Tangning looked up from his bed and saw a character that he had only seen in movies appear in front of him.
It was a fairy-like white robe, as cold as snow on a thousand mountains. The sleeves fluttered like the water of the Milky Way filling the vast expanse of clouds. His slender fingers poked out from the wide sleeves, like a snow lotus blossoming out of thin air. Mo Yunchu made a spellcasting gesture that he had seen in movies, and said to Tangning in a cold and indifferent voice, "Why are you sighing, fellow Taoist?"
Tangning: “?”
Tangning: "Ahhhh Qinglian Daojun!!!"
This is Mo Yunchu's ancient costume character that Tangning really likes!
He was so happy that he jumped up from his nest, threw himself on the immortal, hugged Mo Yunchu and smacked his lips, "Tao Jun Dao Jun! It's raining, Dao Jun! We can't parachute today!"
Mo Yunchu still had the look of a cold and abstinent Taoist master. He completely ignored the Tangning pendant hanging on his body. He waved his sleeves and pointed at the heavy rain outside the window. He said calmly and pretentiously, "Disperse."
Because Mo Yunchu's aura was so strong when he said this, Tang Ning, who knew that Mo Yunchu was spying, couldn't help but look out the window. After noticing that it was still raining, he said, "You fake Taoist!"
The fake Taoist didn't blush or feel nervous. He hugged Tangning and started kissing her from her ears. He kissed her until she was soft and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, Taoist, I was wrong..."
"Where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have called you a fake Daojun."
"No, you shouldn't have stolen my heart."
"Pfft, Daojun, you are so unsophisticated!"
"… "
"Don't kiss me, I was wrong..."
