"Wei Mingyan..."
Obviously the scene in front of him should be scary, but Wei Rou saw the young man covering half of his face and looking at him with a smile, but he didn't feel scared at all, and just called his name subconsciously.
Wei Mingyan slightly raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside. The originally dark clouds above the school seemed to have dispersed a bit, and the surrounding area was not so dark anymore.
"I'm leaving," he said.
Zheng Hua and Cai Momo who were behind were so shocked by his previous actions that they couldn't move. They just watched the boy in the woolen coat with his back turned to them, talking to Wei Rou.
"Give."
A milk bottle was stuffed in Wei Rou's hand, she took it in a daze, "Where are you going?"
The young man lowered his eyes, covered half of his face with his hands all the time, and didn't answer her words, "You take this bottle with you, it can protect you."
After he finished speaking, he stood up. From Wei Rou's perspective, he could clearly see that the boy's legs were long and straight. Even the way he walked was like some nobles whom the teacher had told him before. No matter when, what kind In every situation, he walked slowly, without any rush.
After Wei Mingyan's figure disappeared outside the door, Cai Momo and Zheng Hua came to their senses, and quickly supported each other to stand up on their weak legs and came to Wei Rou's side.
"Who is that? It's amazing."
"Wei Rou, is that your friend? Is he a ghost hunter?"
The image of the boy dripping blood under his right eye reappeared in Wei Rou's mind, she clenched the milk bottle in her hand, "Yes, he is my friend."
No matter what, Wei Mingyan managed to save her.
***
The three girls cleaned up the mess and went back.
After Cai Momo and Zheng Hua reunited this time, they have returned to the good relationship they used to have. They both asked for leave to attend the funeral of their relatives. Only Wei Rou and another girl were left in the dormitory. I haven't seen anything scary, and I'm not scared at all. Wei Rou sleeps with a milk bottle in her arms, so she's not that scared anymore.
She came in and out with a milk bottle, because she was always carrying a small bag and no one cared about her, but every time she passed the street lamp outside the dormitory, Wei Rou couldn't help but stare at it.
In the middle of the night, she would also think about the boy who suddenly appeared and then disappeared inexplicably.
Wei Rou asked the seniors she knew for help, and checked the list of students in the art department, but there was no one named Wei Mingyan.
He should be a ghost, but a good ghost, otherwise he wouldn't help her.
Wei Rou always thinks of that day when Wei Mingyan stretched out his left hand, covering the left half of his face, preventing her from seeing the wound.
At that time, I was only concerned about shock, but the way the boy blocked his face that day was inexplicably sad.
But no matter how many times Wei Rou passed by that streetlight, Wei Mingyan never appeared again.
She came home on her birthday.
Wei's father and Wei's mother specially spared time to come, and the family celebrated her birthday well.
Wei's mother cooks dishes that Wei Rou likes to eat, and Wei's father bought her a small cake from outside. The family of three sat at the table and finished eating the small cake, and her parents even bought her presents.
Wei's father gave the red envelope directly, and Wei's mother gave her daughter a beautiful little dress. When Wei Rou happily changed into her clothes, the three of them sat together and chatted again.
Wei's father mentioned that the boss of their company had a car accident, and now the boss' younger brother is taking over the company for the time being, but the boss's younger brother has no experience, so it's okay to mess up the company, and even fired several veterans in a row.
Wei's mother immediately asked worriedly if it would affect him, Wei's father smiled and waved, "It's just a fight between gods and gods, and it has nothing to do with us."
"But Manager Zhang of that company was fired."
Wei Rou was peeling peanuts, she was taken aback when she heard this, "Uncle Zhang?"
"Yeah, isn't his daughter a junior high school classmate with Rou Rou? I remember that little girl liked to come to our house to play."
That was Wei Rou's best friend from junior high school, called Zhang Jing. Later, Zhang Jing wanted to go abroad with her mother, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time, and they never contacted each other again, but Wei Rou still remembers when Zhang Jing left With red eyes, he said that if he could come back, he would be the first to come to her.
Mother Wei asked again if Manager Zhang was affected by Chi Yu, and Father Wei hesitated for a while before saying, "It doesn't count. Manager Zhang made several wrong accounts, so the higher-ups decided to fire him."
After that, he said casually with some doubts, "But Manager Zhang has always been a meticulous person. He has been in the company for more than ten years without making any mistakes. Manager Zhang also takes good care of me in Rourou's relationship, so I'm thinking of picking up something and going to see him tomorrow."
"You should go." Wei's mother agreed, "You can go to my place to get the money later, and buy some good ones to send to you tomorrow. I have helped you anyway."
The topic of the two gradually diverged to what gift to bring, Wei Rou really couldn't understand, so she simply went into the room and prepared to rest.
Their family is not considered rich. How old was Wei Rou when they bought the house, Wei's father and Wei's mother only had enough money to buy a smaller house, so Wei Rou's room was a bit small, but she cleaned it up well. It's clean and looks very cozy.
Wei Rou was sitting at the table taking out the things in her schoolbag, when she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person standing downstairs, she subconsciously glanced at it, but found a slender figure standing under the streetlight, looking up.
It was Wei Mingyan.
She hurriedly opened the door and went out, using the excuse of going downstairs to throw out the garbage, hurriedly put on her coat, picked up the garbage outside the door to prepare for the next day, and ran downstairs.
"Look at the way!"
Wei's mother and Wei's father yelled, only the sound of their daughter's footsteps rushing downstairs could be heard.
"Really, I'm still like a child at this age, I can't even grow up." Dad Wei sighed with a smile, and didn't mean to blame him at all.
In his eyes, of course, everything is fine for his daughter.
"That's right! Did you burn the little clothes I bought last time?"
"Burn it, take it to the cemetery today and burn it."
After the two of them finished speaking, they thought of the child who died just after landing, and their hearts became heavy again.
The two of them are not rich, but they still gritted their teeth and bought a small cemetery for the child to put the ashes. There are graves of children who died young. Because the area is small, the price is not bad. justice.
So many years have passed, in fact, the sadness of losing the child at the beginning has almost been diluted by time, but Wei's mother is more emotional. Every time she buys something for her daughter, she always thinks of her son who died young and left cleanly. I will also buy some things and burn them, just as a thought.
This time, Wei Rou's birthday is actually not the birthday of a child who died young.
Wei Rou happily went downstairs, carrying the trash without thinking about throwing it away, and went directly to the spot she saw just now. Sure enough, there was Wei Mingyan standing under the tree.
Seeing her running over in a skirt, a smile appeared on her face, "Run slowly, you won't be afraid of falling."
Wei Rou quickly came to his side, and when he got closer, he realized that Wei Mingyan had changed clothes. He was wearing a white and blue sweater, which made his handsome face look a little better.
"Have you changed into new clothes?"
I don't know if it's because Wei Mingyan saved her last time. Not only was Wei Rou not afraid when she saw him, but she felt a little close to him. Seeing his appearance now, she asked subconsciously.
"yes."
There was a slight smile on the boy's face, and he looked a little happy in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the new sweater on his body and said, "Mom and Dad burned it for me."
Wei Rou was startled, and then remembered that Wei Mingyan was a ghost, and his clothes were of course burned by living people.
"Are you here to find me?"
"Yeah." Wei Mingyan nodded, "Let me take a look."
When Wei Rou threw away the trash and sat on the bench downstairs together with a ghost, Wei Mingyan spoke first, "You guessed right, I'm dead a long time ago."
Even though Wei Rou had already guessed the answer in her heart, she still couldn't help being surprised, but strangely she didn't have any fear at all, probably because she knew that Wei Mingyan would not hurt herself.
Wei Rou turned her head to look at Wei Mingyan. The young man's face was normal and his clothes were clean, unlike all the disabled spirits he saw that day.
"That day...why did you save me?"
Wei Mingyan leaned on the bench, "Just passing by, I just saved him."
It was such a simple and rude reason.
Before Wei Rou was stunned for a moment, the boy turned his head to see her confused face and laughed.
"Just kidding, I actually want to make friends."
"make friends?"
"Well, I will pretend to be an adult, strike up a conversation with people in various classrooms, and say a few words, which can be regarded as killing myself."
"Last time, all the ghosts in the school were attracted by the incense, so I went to see it together, and you know what happened after that."
Wei Mingyan raised his head, looked in the direction of the building of Wei's house, and sighed, "You know what? It's really lonely to be a ghost, especially when I'm the only ghost, so I always like to disguise myself as a human being. "
"But there were so many schools last time..."
Wei Rou reacted as soon as she opened her mouth, and she stopped in embarrassment, "Yes, they are disabled spirits."
"Well, if you want to chat with someone, just come to me, I like chatting too."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The young man was still looking in the direction of Wei's house, and said softly, "I can only maintain this state for a short time, as long as I use my strength, here..."
He stretched out his hand and tapped one cheek, "It will reveal its original appearance, ugly."
"Where is it ugly?"
Wei Rou heard the disappointment in his tone, and quickly comforted, "It's just such a short piece, it's not ugly at all."
Only then did Wei Mingyan turn his head to look at her, seeing the sincerity in the girl's eyes, he smiled slightly, "Thank you."
"I've been trying to find a way to cover this mark, but I can barely cover it at night. You're the first one to say that it's not ugly."
Wei Rou carefully looked at his face, for fear of poking his scar, asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to cover this wound?"
"I didn't have a wound on my body when I died, but when I became a ghost and didn't understand, I was injured here when I was exposed to the sun."
The boy nodded over there, showing a wry smile, "Now I'm not afraid of the sun anymore, but the wound is still left. I want to be like a human being, but as long as it is exposed here, it will only scare those people away."
"And I can't accept such an ugly self..."
Wei Rou couldn't help imagining how the young man wanted to make friends and carefully covered up his wound, just like that day when he covered half of his cheek to keep himself a secret.
For some reason, she was naturally close to him, and just thinking about it made her feel distressed.
Suddenly thought of something, Wei Rou's eyes lit up, "Is it possible that as long as you burn something, you can wear it on your body?"
The boy didn't know what she was going to do, but he nodded anyway.
Wei's father and Wei's mother were chatting, when suddenly their daughter rushed upstairs, Wei's father just called out, "Rourou, why are you running..."
Wei Rou stretched out her hand, "Dad, give me a lighter."
Wei's father gave it with a confused look.
Wei Rou ran to her room again, and the husband and wife looked at each other suspiciously, "What are you doing... eh, Rourou, where are you going?"
twenty minutes later
Wei Rou carefully stomped out the burnt ashes, and turned to look at the young man behind him.
He was touching half of the mask on his face curiously, and when Wei Rou looked over, he smiled happily.
