Ruan Qiuping knew that the red string of the matchmaker was useless to immortals, but it could help mortals find love. Many men and women in the mortal world, who had never met before, fell in love at first sight after being tied by the red string.
But no one told him what would happen if the red thread connected the immortals and mortals
Ruan Qiuping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at this moment, fearing that this little red thread would ruin Yu Huan's marriage in the mortal world.
"Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan suddenly scratched his chest, looking a little confused, "Why do I feel a little uncomfortable... Does this blessed red thread have any special function..."
Ruan Qiuping's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Huan blinked: "I feel uncomfortable everywhere... What on earth will this red line do to people?"
Ruan Qiuping immediately became a little uneasy. He didn't know how to explain to Yu Huan, and finally said haltingly: "This... This is a blessed marriage thread. I'm not sure about the details, but I heard that two people entangled by this thread will develop strange feelings for each other..."
"What strange feelings?"
Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered the movie that he and Yu Huan watched by mistake when they came to the mortal world yesterday.
Suddenly, he stuttered even more: "... love between men... love between men and women."
Yu Huan leaned closer, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, his eyes were clear and bright, innocent and naive: "Does Ruan Ruan also have such feelings for me?"
Ruan Qiuping almost felt that Yu Huan's eyelashes were about to brush against his cheek. He held his breath involuntarily, leaned back a little, and said, "I... I didn't, I'm immune to this."
"Why?" Yu Huan frowned, looking a little hurt, "Doesn't Ruan Ruan like me?"
Ruan Qiuping: "... Of course I like you, but not this kind of love... Xiao Yuhuan, calm down, you, you are not quite right now."
"What's wrong?" Yu Huan moved closer to him.
"Everything is wrong, this is not right!" Ruan Qiuping wanted to reach out and push Yu Huan, but failed. In fact, his elbow slipped accidentally and he fell on his back on the sofa.
Yu Huan approached him, pressed him down, and said, "Ruan Ruan said she wanted to like me more. Is Ruan Ruan not keeping her word now?"
"… How could I not keep my word?" Ruan Qiuping retorted in a low voice.
"Since Ruan Ruan said that she wants to like me more, then Ruan Ruan should just transform her feelings for me into a relationship between a man and a woman. Why are you resisting so much now?"
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes wide: "You, what nonsense are you talking about, this... how can this be changed at will, and you said that it was a love between a man and a woman, but we are obviously two men..."
"But Ruan Ruan, you clearly know that men can also be together." The water waves in Yu Huan's eyes rippled, and seemed to gradually sink, becoming rich and deep, "Ruan Ruan and I can do everything except not having children."
Yu Huan lowered his head, and rubbed his slightly cool nose against Ruan Qiuping's face, his expression was ambiguous: "... Ruan Ruan, do you want to try it with me?"
Ruan Qiuping's whole body froze.
As Yu Huan got closer and closer, his warm breath fell on Ruan Qiuping's skin. His brain was blank as if it was frozen, but his chest was as hot as magma. His heart was beating uncontrollably and almost bursting through his throat.
At the last moment, he closed his eyes tightly in bewilderment.
one.
two.
three.
Ruan Qiuping only felt his body sink, and Yu Huan's head fell down.
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Yu Huan sleeping on him with his eyes closed. Not far away, Qi Yue was standing beside him with a gloomy face.
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
For some reason, Ruan Qiuping felt his face suddenly getting hot. He pushed Yu Huan up and made him lean against the sofa, then stood up himself and hurriedly straightened his clothes.
"Ahem... Senior Qiyue, why are you here?"
"The bracelet detected that you used a magic weapon. What is it?"
Ruan Qiuping: "… The red string of Yue Lao. I ran into Yue Lao today and he forced it on me. And I accidentally used it this time."
"Just because of a mere red line, you're lying here ready to do something illegal?" Qi Yue said almost gritting his teeth, and put extra emphasis on the word "illegal".
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping frowned and explained: "It was just an accident, and Yu Huan was controlled by the red line, I couldn't push him away..."
"You can't push him away?" Qi Yue said sarcastically, "Ruan Qiuping, you are a deity, and you tell me you can't push a mortal away?!"
Ruan Qiuping: "… I didn't have time to react."
"You didn't have time to react so you closed your eyes?! Ruan Qiuping, remember this, this is a practical course at Siming College, not a place for you to talk about love!"
Ruan Qiuping felt his whole face burning up. He looked at the aggressive Qi Yue in front of him and shouted with a red face, "How could I be in love? Who did you see me in love with? Don't spit blood on me. I told you it was an accident. Why are you so talkative? If you have the guts, report it to the teacher. It's just writing a self-criticism. Who's afraid of who? I wrote it! Do you need to keep criticizing me here?"
Anyway, after a few days of practical courses, he finally realized that among all the courses in heaven, Siming was the most difficult. No matter what mistakes you made, you just had to write a self-review, write a self-review, and write a self-review. What was there to be afraid of? !
Qi Yue took a deep breath and seemed to calm down.
He looked up at Ruan Qiuping and said coldly, "Ruan Qiuping, there is something I think you need to know."
Ruan Qiuping glanced at him with a rather disdainful expression: "What's the matter?"
"You seem to have completed the record assignment for this course most seriously in the entire class, but your grade will be the worst."
Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Qi Yue glanced at Yu Huan on the sofa, and twitched the corner of her lips slightly, saying with some sarcasm: "Because it doesn't match the facts."
… is not true? How can it be not true
Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"There is one more thing." Qi Yue waved his right hand, and the red line that had disappeared from Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan's wrists reappeared and lightly fell into Qi Yue's palm.
"What's going on again?"
The red thread of Yue Lao is only useful to mortals, useless to immortals, and also useless to immortals who have come down to earth to experience tribulations.
"never mind."
Qi Yue did not tell Ruan Qiuping about this. He pinched the red thread with his index finger and turned it into ashes. Then he left a sentence "Take care of yourself" to Ruan Qiuping and turned away.
Ruan Qiuping looked at his back and frowned.
… inexplicable.
Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan who was sleeping on the sofa, and his uneasiness became more and more serious.
He scratched his hair in annoyance, then rummaged through the drawers to find some ice water to drink.
But when he opened the refrigerator, he found that Yu Huan's refrigerator was not powered on, and there was no food in it, but it was full of miscellaneous items.
Yes, Yu Huan is a student. Although he rests in this apartment at night, he eats all his meals in the school cafeteria, so he naturally does not need a refrigerator.
Ruan Qiuping casually moved the sundries around and found a dice cup in the innermost compartment of the refrigerator. The outer edge of the cup seemed to have been polished to a shine.
Could it be that Yu Huan would play dice when he had nothing to do
Ruan Qiuping really didn’t understand. According to Xiao Yuhuan’s luck, he must have gotten six every time. What was so fun about that
Ruan Qiuping felt that he didn't quite understand Yu Huan's train of thought. He put the dice cup back to its original place, and seeing that there was no ice water here, he put on his coat and went downstairs to buy himself some water.
After buying the ice water, Ruan Qiuping drank most of the bottle on the spot.
The ice water was so cold that it instantly made his head hurt.
He closed his eyes and relaxed for a while, but still felt that the irritation in his heart was difficult to calm down.
Suddenly, Ruan Qiuping seemed to hear Yu Huan calling him.
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes and heard another shout.
It turned out that he had heard correctly.
Ruan Qiuping turned his head to look at the direction where the sound came from, only to see Yu Huan running out in slippers and a single layer of clothes with a pale face.
Seeing Ruan Qiuping, Yu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and ran over in a panic. Yu Huan's face was extremely pale, but his eyes were red.
Yu Huan seemed to want to hug him, but he didn't know what he was worried about, so he didn't do it. He just asked anxiously, "Ruan Ruan... where did you go?"
Ruan Qiuping raised the water in his hand: "I came out to buy a bottle of ice water, what's wrong?"
"I thought I thought you left."
Seeing that Yu Huan's lips were blue from the cold, Ruan Qiuping quickly took off her clothes and put them on him: "What are you thinking about? Why would I leave so suddenly?"
"I thought you hated me." Yu Huan smiled with relief. He was clearly smiling, but tears suddenly fell. He said in a hoarse voice: "I thought... because of what I did to you... so you hated me...
Ruan Qiuping felt extremely soft-hearted when she saw Yu Huan crying. She had been like this since she was a child.
He hurriedly reached out to wipe Yu Huan's tears: "I will not hate you, never, and you were just affected by the red string that was consecrated. It's okay now, the red string has been untied."
"The red thread... has been untied?"
Ruan Qiuping nodded.
Yu Huan's eyes flickered and he said, "Ruan Ruan...if...if I wasn't influenced by the red thread, and I took the initiative to do those things to you...would you hate me?"
"How could that be?" Ruan Qiuping said, "What did you do to me? You didn't do anything to me."
"But I almost..."
"You almost kissed me?" Ruan Qiuping smiled.
He suddenly reached out his hand, held Yu Huan's face, and kissed him on the cheek, smiling in an indescribably warm way: "What's the matter?"
Yu Huan covered his cheeks with his hands and smiled at Ruan Qiuping.
Suddenly, a white snowflake fell on Ruan Qiuping's head. Yu Huan stretched out his hand and looked up at the sky. His smile was purer than the snowflakes: "Ruan Ruan, look, it's snowing."
Ruan Qiuping looked at the clean and bright smile on Yu Huan's face, and the uneasiness in his heart grew inch by inch, almost swallowing him up.
The nights in heaven are mostly clear. Ruan Qiuping sat at the desk and flipped through the thick notebook.
Only then did Ruan Qiuping realize that in the records of the previous ten days, Si Ming would only write "read" every time he corrected his papers, and never gave him a score or wrote any comments.
… What went wrong
When Ruan Qiuping descended to the mortal world the next day, it was midsummer in the mortal world, and it was exactly the evening before Yu Huan's college entrance examination.
Yu Huan's grades have always been top in the city, so there was no problem for him to be admitted to the best university in the country, University A.
But even so, when Yu Huan proposed to go out and play with Ruan Qiuping, Ruan Qiuping still refused.
Ruan Qiuping knocked on Yu Huan's head and said, "What are you thinking about, college entrance examination candidate? You have an exam tomorrow, why are you still playing today?"
"But I waited for a year, and finally you came." Yu Huan seemed a little depressed.
"But I come here every year, but the college entrance examination only happens once."
“… Can’t I still repeat the grade?” Yu Huan retorted in a low voice.
"Do you still want to repeat the year?" Ruan Qiuping narrowed his eyes.
Yu Huan: "No, I just think it's okay to not study for a day, it won't affect my exams."
"The closer we get to the exam, the more we must not slack off." Ruan Qiuping tapped on the desk a few times and said, "Start studying. I'll be watching you here. I want to see how good students study."
"Ruan Ruan is not studying well?" Yu Huan took out a notebook from his schoolbag.
“It’s okay that I’m not good at studying, but sometimes… when others tell me that I did something wrong, I just can’t figure out what went wrong.”
“Is it a math problem?”
"No, it's something else." Ruan Qiuping looked at the photo of A University on Yu Huan's desk and asked, "Why do you like A University?"
Yu Huan looked up at the photo and said with a smile, "Because it is the best school in the country."
"Is it just because of this?"
"This is the most important reason. After all, I also want to prove myself to some people." Yu Huan paused and looked at Ruan Qiuping. "And I heard that there is a delicious bakery in A University. Ruan Ruan, when you come next year, I will take you there."
"Okay." Ruan Qiuping was a little expectant.
Yu Huan sat at the desk and began to study, and Ruan Qiuping also took a book and sat next to him to read.
Time flows quietly.
There are cicadas chirping outside the window.
The room was very quiet, and the only sound was the scratching of the pen on the paper.
Ruan Qiuping felt that everything was fine.
The weather was clear yesterday, but it suddenly rained heavily in the morning of the college entrance examination.
Ruan Qiuping called a taxi to take Yu Huan to the examination room, but unexpectedly the taxi broke down on the way.
Fortunately, Yu Huan's examination room is not far from here, and there is plenty of time, so there is no need to worry about being late.
Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan got out of the taxi and walked towards the test site holding an umbrella together.
Yu Huan suddenly leaned over to Ruan Qiuping's ear and said, "Ruan Ruan, I will be 18 next month."
Ruan Qiuping's eyes lit up: "Then next time I come, you will be an adult, and then you can go drinking with me! I haven't tasted the wine here yet!"
"Besides drinking, I have something more important to do." Yu Huan's eyes sparkled.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Qiuping was very curious.
“You’ll find out next year.”
When Yu Huan smiled, his eyes seemed to be filled with starlight.
The rainstorm became even more severe, accompanied by strong winds that poured down in torrents. The large umbrella was blown all over the place by the wind, almost completely blocking the two people's view in front of them.
The raindrops hit the umbrella, crackling and making a lot of noise.
"Yu Huan, are you wet? How about we find another taxi?"
Ruan Qiuping looked up at Yu Huan, only to find that Yu Huan's face had turned pale in an instant, and his pupils had shrunk instantly. With a sharp brake, Yu Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and violently pushed Ruan Qiuping out.
The sound of heavy rain, brakes, and screams.
The blood was washed away by the water and turned into a red river.
"Hey, I heard that he was a college entrance examination candidate. How could he be so unlucky that an accident happened on this day."
"It's such a wide road, and there were only these two people walking on the road within a hundred meters. How could they just happen to bump into each other? How pitiful..."
Two nurses were whispering next to the operating room. When they saw Ruan Qiuping coming over, they hurriedly stopped talking.
Ruan Qiuping was soaked, and the rain dripped onto the ground along with his blood, leaving a pool of pink water stains on the white tiles of the hospital.
His body was trembling slightly, and his right arm was shaking more obviously. The bracelet had been flattened by the stone, and there was a long scratch on his wrist. The blood had corroded the bracelet to a charred color, and it stuck tightly to his flesh.
He wanted to use magic to heal Yu Huan, but his weak magic was of no use to Yu Huan's injuries.
He wanted to break the bracelet and use all his strength to save Yu Huan, but he couldn't break the bracelet.
He cut his wrist and tried to corrode the bracelet with his own blood, but failed.
It was the first time that Ruan Qiuping realized so clearly what an incompetent waste he was.
The operating room door was opened and the doctor came out to inform the public of the situation.
Ruan Qiuping hurried over: "... Doctor... Doctor... How is it?"
"The patient's condition was very bad. There was infection and tissue necrosis in the leg, and amputation was necessary."
Ruan Qiuping stood there, almost unable to believe what he heard. He said tremblingly: "... No, no, look again... This is not right... He... He is not an ordinary person. He has always been very lucky. It is impossible for him to suffer such a thing..."
"Do you think Yu Huan is lucky?"
With a sneer, a familiar-looking boy suddenly walked over from the end of the corridor.
It’s Yu Fan.
Yu Huan's younger brother.
"Are you kidding? How can he have good luck? Don't you know that this unlucky star was kicked out of the house by my grandfather when he was young because of his bad luck?"
Ruan Qiuping's whole body froze, as if dozens of thunderbolts were striking him simultaneously.
