Chi Yan didn't dare to stay at his cousin's house for too long, so he left on the pretext that he had something to do with the school. After leaving, he didn't go back to school, but walked back to Ye Ying's house and opened the door with the key.
There was no one in the living room, but a strong milky smell came from the kitchen.
Chi Yan changed his shoes, took off his jacket and walked to the kitchen, and he saw Ye Yingzhi was wearing a white long-sleeved sweater with his back against the cabinet, looking at his mobile phone. The golden sunlight hit the white kitchen table next to him, and the oven below It is running "dada", exuding a sweet and thick milky scent.
Ye Yingzhi only put down the phone when he heard his footsteps, raised his head and said, "The last time I said I wanted to make a cake, I will try it today when I have time."
"You don't need to be so troublesome... Just go to the cake shop to buy it or just order a cake takeaway." Chi Yan imagined that making a cake would be more troublesome than cooking a meal.
"No trouble, making it at home is much safer and cleaner than buying it outside, and the milk I use is better than theirs." Ye Yingzhi glanced at Chi Yan again, "Go upstairs to change clothes first, it's almost ready to bake. ."
After Chi Yan changed her clothes, the cake was already baked. It was an ordinary cheesecake, but the taste was lighter than the one bought outside, not so sweet, and more delicate. It should have been kept in the refrigerator for a while, but when Ye Yingzhi saw Chi Yan, he couldn't help but cut a piece and put it on a plate for him to taste, before receiving the rest in the refrigerator.
Chi Yan also cut a small piece and fed it into Ye Yingzhi's mouth. Then he remembered the serious business and told Ye Yingzhi the story about the house he heard from his aunt.
Ye Yingzhi really didn't care: "It's been so many years, and this kind of rumors are generally more fueled to spread the truth." It was obviously a joke and an attitude of indifference.
The corners of his eyes curved upwards slightly to look at Chi Yan: "You believe it too."
little fool.
The last three words were put into the tip of his tongue by him affectionately.
"But… "
Chi Yan still wanted to argue, but Ye Yingzhi forked a piece of cake and fed it into his mouth: "Besides, I haven't noticed any problems after living here for so long. Did you notice that there are other people in this house during your stay? ?"
Chi Yan had expected this result, and he just heard it from his aunt, and he didn't have any strong arguments. Naturally, he couldn't compete with Ye Yingzhi, so he gave up.
At this moment, the cell phone he put on the table next to him rang suddenly, Chi Yan walked over to pick it up, and the caller ID was Gu Xixi, whom he had not thought of for a long time.
The girl's cheerful voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Brother Chi Yan, today's Singles Day, I have a few friends for dinner tonight, will you come too?"
"No, no need, you guys have fun." Gu Xixi's friend doesn't know him well, so it's not fun to go there. Besides, it's an eventful season, how dare he go out too late or stay home at night.
"Brother Chi Yan has someone to accompany you, so you don't need to celebrate Singles' Day?" the female voice over there asked like a joke.
Chi Yan subconsciously glanced at Ye Yingzhi: "No, just with my roommate... Anyway, you guys are having fun, I won't go."
The voice of the phone was not low, and Ye Yingzhi, who was standing on the side, could clearly hear their conversation. When he saw that he had hung up the phone, he frowned slightly: "It's that Gu Xixi again? Try to keep contact with her as little as possible."
Chi Yan also didn't understand why Ye Yingzhi hated Gu Xixi so much. Although he was not warm to others, he was extremely cold to Gu Xixi. But now Chi Yan, who had no reason, just wanted to follow the other party's wishes, so she just said, "She asked me to go to dinner together at night, but I didn't agree."
"Yeah." Ye Yingzhi softened his expression, "What do you have for dinner?"
After that, nothing happened, but the teacher Chi Yan came back early three days later.
Lies really will be punished. The teacher really assigned him an urgent task when he came back this time. He and two senior brothers are jointly responsible for it. Visually, it will take three days to complete at the earliest. Then stay at his house with Ye Yingzhi.
Chi Yan felt a little scared after hearing the news. According to Hu Xing, there would be at least three more victims, but now Hu Xing and the police have no clues about the murderer. The only common feature of the victims is that they are all Living near their school, they are all easy-to-reach ordinary people - but since it is a demon that kills, then it is natural to do whatever they want in disregard of etiquette.
And based on previous experience, the resentful ghosts turned into by the victims seem to be getting stronger and stronger, approaching them more and more with clear goals. He was afraid that he would be killed by those resentful ghosts before he found the evil spirits.
Chi Yan could only ask Ye Yingzhi carefully: "Yingzhi, my tutor has assigned a task, I have to go back to school these days... Would you like to go back and live together?"
Ye Yingzhi didn't answer, but instead asked him, "Do you want me to go back?"
Chi Yan still didn't dare to tell him about the evil spirits, so he just said casually: "Yes... It's better to be alone, it's better to have someone to accompany you."
Ye Yingzhi held his cheek with one hand and looked up at Chi Yan who was standing in front of him. Hearing that, he put his hand down and straightened up and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
But after going back, the two naturally had no excuse to squeeze into a small single bed again, and they still slept separately. However, the two of them could see each other in the same room, so Chi Yan wouldn't feel too scared.
Who would have thought that on the third night when he moved back, Chi Yan was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard someone lying in his ear and calling his name: "... Chi Yan, Chi Yan, Chi Yan..."
Chi Yan replied with a stupefied "um", and then felt a tightness in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to hear a statement somewhere, saying that you must not take it lightly when you hear a voice of unknown origin calling your name. promise.
He was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a "person" sitting on the head of his bed smiling and looking at him, with long black hair hanging down from either side of his cheeks, and his long, thin white fingers pressing on his two On his shoulders, there is a bone-piercing death and chill, and a faint smell of fishy smell.
"She" grinned at Chi Yan, her face was pale and strange, but her eyes were dark like a skeleton - "she" had no eyes.
Even though Chi Yan was extremely frightened, he still saw some familiarity from this face. Although he didn't see each other often, the other party, or at least the other party, was indeed his acquaintance before his death.
Chi Yan moved his mouth, but it was as if cotton was blocked in his mouth and he couldn't make a sound. He tried hard to squeeze two breaths out of his throat: "... Jian Ying?"
