Chapter 23

The place where his waist touched Yu Huan felt as hot as fire. Ruan Qiuping stretched out his hand in panic, wanting to push Yu Huan away. But when he stretched out his hand halfway, his peripheral vision caught sight of Yu Huan's crutch and slightly bent right leg.

Ruan Qiuping's hands trembled, and he was unable to push Yu Huan down.

But he was also afraid that the longer Yu Huan stayed in contact with him, the more bad luck he would be infected with. He suddenly felt anxious as if he was being roasted on fire. He looked up at Yu Huan, almost crying in anxiety: "... Let me go!"

“No.” Yu Huan even wrapped his arms tighter.

Ruan Qiuping's pupils were filled with mist almost instantly. He clenched his fists and said with gritted teeth, "If you...if you don't let me go, I won't come again tomorrow!"

Yu Huan was silent for a moment, then slowly loosened his arms.

Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly moved away, jumping to a place three or four meters away from Yu Huan.

You must be scared now, you must be threatened now, you won't dare to touch him anymore!

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan's lowered head, and began to reflect on whether his words had been too harsh.

But the next second, he heard Yu Huan laughing and said, "So Ruan Ruan means that Ruan Ruan will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Will she come all the time in the future?"

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment.

That's not what he meant...

Yu Huan looked up at him, the corners of his lips slightly curved, his eyes gentle and bright, as if reflecting countless tiny lights.

Looking at those eyes, Ruan Qiuping couldn't say the word "no" at all.

"Then Ruan Ruan will keep her word, okay?" Yu Huan's voice was soft and slow, as if he wanted to bewitch people.

Ruan Qiuping nodded for some unknown reason.

Yu Huan smiled again, and then walked towards Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping quickly took a few steps back: "I, I told you! If you touch me again, I won't come again, so, so you have to stay away from me!"

"Then how far should I stay from Ruan Ruan?"

“Five meters!”

"Too far."

“Four meters!”

"Ruan Ruan, I'm slow to begin with. If you and I are too far apart, we'll be separated by the crowd."

“…Those three meters! No closer.”

Yu Huan nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt that he had overlooked something important.

He thought about it for a while, but still couldn't remember anything, so he simply skipped the matter.

He looked up at Yu Huan's glasses and asked curiously, "Why do you wear glasses? Are your eyes damaged?"

Yu Huan frowned slightly and said, "What did Ruan Ruan say? I can't hear clearly."

Ruan Qiuping was a little shocked. He asked loudly, "Are your ears broken too?!"

Yu Huan said, "I can hear it clearly now. Maybe Ruan Ruan's voice was too soft just now."

Ruan Qiuping muttered, "But that was my normal volume."

"What did Ruan Ruan say?"

Ruan Qiuping took a deep breath and said loudly: "I said, I speak at a normal volume, why can't you hear it?!"

Yu Huan glanced at the distance between them and said, "Maybe we are too far away."

"But we..."

"Ruan Ruan, I can't hear you clearly."

"But! We're only 3 meters away! A normal person can hear it from that far away!"

"Maybe I'm getting older and my hearing isn't as good anymore."

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan with a worried look on his face: "Why are all your bodies broken?"

Yu Huan blinked, looking confused: "I can't hear clearly... Ruan Ruan said what's wrong with me?"

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Ruan Qiuping had no choice but to take another step forward and asked, "Can you hear clearly now?"

Yu Huan nodded.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head to look at the distance between them, then said, "That's it, from now on we'll be... um... 10 meters away."

"Okay." Yu Huan smiled faintly.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Ruan Qiuping asked again.

Yu Huan reached out and took off his glasses, saying, "It's just a slight myopia. When I rushed over just now, I was looking at something in the car and forgot to take them off."

"What are you looking at? Work documents?" Ruan Qiuping was a little curious.

"The hotel's surveillance." Yu Huan pointed to the camera above his head.

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Ruan Qiuping silently raised his head to look at the camera, and then he realized that the camera was facing the corner where he had originally stood.

Ruan Qiuping: … No wonder you came here so quickly.

Wait... Ruan Qiuping suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

When Jing Yang gave him the Qiankun bag just now, it only blocked the sight of others, but it couldn't block the surveillance above his head!

From the perspective of this monitor, wouldn't it be possible to see Jing Yang stuffing a Qiankun bag into a bunch of empty things? !

If Yu Huan had been watching the surveillance camera, he would have definitely discovered this strange thing...

Ruan Qiuping was about to ask Yu Huan if he saw anything strange in the surveillance video, but then he thought of a more terrifying question -

His appearance! No processing has been done! He looks exactly the same as when I first met Yu Huan!!

27 years ago, he looked like he was in his early 20s, and 27 years later, he still looks like this!!!

But this time when he met Yu Huan, Yu Huan never questioned his appearance from beginning to end!!!

Ruan Qiuping's hair almost stood up, and at the same time, he finally remembered what he had just forgotten.

When he just climbed out of the table, Yu Huan said, "Do you know who I am? Do you know that you will be unlucky if you meet me?"

Yu Huan replied: What if I knew

At that time, his mind was filled with thoughts of what to do if Yu Huan touched him. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble, so he actually ignored this sentence!

There were some things that Ruan Qiuping had never cared about before, but now when he thought about them, he felt that there were loopholes everywhere, which made him get goose bumps all over his body.

Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan stiffly and said with difficulty: "Yu... Yu Huan, you just said that you knew my identity... is that true? Then what do you... what do you think my identity is?"

Yu Huan raised his head and looked at Ruan Qiuping intently.

Without the obstruction of his glasses, his gaze seemed even darker and deeper.

He slowly said, "If I tell you, will Ruan Ruan run away?"

"No, I won't run. Why would I run? Wait... tell me now."

Yu Huan was silent for a while, and then said: "Ruan Ruan is a god in heaven, and she is a god with bad luck and brings bad luck to people. For me, Ruan Ruan only appears once, but for Ruan Ruan, Ruan Ruan comes to see me every day."

Ruan Qiuping's legs went limp with fear.

Yu Huan not only knew his identity, but also knew it in such detail!

Ruan Qiuping stuttered: "You... when did you know?"

"From the beginning, I felt that your identity was unusual. Ruan Ruan, you only come to see me once, but no matter where I am, you can appear beside me accurately. And it's strange that you only appear for 30 hours each time, not a minute more.

"But the first time I confirmed Ruan Ruan's identity was the day we were kidnapped. Although I closed my eyes, I heard the kidnapper's shouting, and you seemed to disappear without a trace in front of him. And later when Grandpa checked the surveillance video, I also clearly saw the process of your disappearance in the video.

"Ruan Ruan, maybe you haven't noticed it yourself, but you do often let things slip. For example, when something happened yesterday, you said it happened yesterday. Although sometimes you correct it in time, it still makes me suspicious. Moreover, you are unlucky and often fall down. You don't care about minor injuries on your body, so I often see bruises on your body for three days."

The more Ruan Qiuping listened, the more frightened he became: "... You... Since you already knew my identity when you were seven years old, why have I never heard you mention it?"

Yu Huan lowered his head and said softly, "Does Ruan Ruan know the story of the Snail Girl?"

"Know."

Not only did he know, he had also seen him in the East China Sea more than a hundred years ago.

"The snail girl left after the fisherman discovered her identity as a fairy. I'm afraid you'll leave too." Yu Huan looked up at Ruan Qiuping and said, "... But before I said these words, Ruan Ruan had promised me that she would not run away again."

"... I won't run away." Ruan Qiuping said softly, "My identity, actually... actually doesn't matter. Just don't tell anyone."

Yu Huan: "Then Ruan Ruan promised me."

"I promise you, I will come down to see you for the next half of your life."

"good."

Yu Huan smiled and asked, "Ruan Ruan, do you want to go somewhere to play? We have been in the human world for more than ten years, and there are many more fun places."

Ruan Qiuping said: "Let's eat something delicious. Although the food in this banquet hall is delicious, I still want to eat meat more."

"Then let's go."

Ruan Qiuping had just taken a few steps when he suddenly remembered the two team members who were still eating on the 17th floor of the hotel.

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment and asked, "Is the food that Chen Hai and Jing Yang are eating on the 17th floor delicious?"

"Not bad. Ruan Ruan wants to eat there too?"

"No, I want to eat something better." Ruan Qiuping paused and said cautiously, "And I won't bring them any food!"

What kind of person is Chen Hai! When he was in the sky, he was always mocking him, saying that he was slacking off and not completing the group task together, as if they were working so hard. But when I came down, I found out that he was just eating the whole time... Everything in the record book was copied from the Internet, and he didn't record the fact that Yu Huan had poor eyesight or hearing... He was not serious at all!

He must eat something more delicious, damn Chen Hai!

As for Jing Yang... well, Jing Yang was not very keen on food, so he didn't say much.

Yu Huan smiled and said, "Okay."

Ruan Qiuping walked in front, and Yu Huan followed him about a meter away.

It had just rained here. The sky was a clear blue with a faint rainbow hanging in the sky. There was still some rain on the ground, and there was a small puddle every three steps.

Ruan Qiuping stepped half a foot into the puddle, splashing a small wave.

Ruan Qiuping turned his head to look at Yu Huan again, and his steps became more brisk, as if he was stepping on clouds instead of waves.

"Yu Huan, where is the delicious place? Is it far away?"

"… What did Ruan Ruan say? I can't hear you clearly."

Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes wide, turned to look at Yu Huan, and said loudly: "Why can't you hear me clearly again? Just now in the hotel, didn't you say that you could hear clearly at a distance of 10 meters? "

Yu Huan seemed a little embarrassed: "That's because we were just in the hotel. It was not only indoors but also empty. Ruan Ruan looked for herself. The car was full of cars and people. It was very noisy. Ruan Ruan was talking to me from such a distance, I couldn't hear clearly."

"You must have a serious hearing problem!"

Ruan Qiuping took a big step forward fiercely, only one meter away from Yu Huan, "You are so rich, why don't you get your ears fixed!"

Yu Huan looked at the distance between them getting shorter again and smiled: "Thank you Ruan Ruan for accommodating me."

Seeing the two people getting closer and closer, Ruan Qiuping felt a little uneasy, but he suddenly remembered that when he came to the earth, he specially took the "divine weapon".

Ruan Qiuping quickly took out the ceramic piece he had picked up from the Jishen trash can and threw it to Yu Huan: "Take this! Carry it with you, but wrap it in a handkerchief to avoid scratching yourself."

Yu Huan took the ceramic piece and looked at it: "What is this?"

"If you carry these things from the gods of good fortune with you, they can dispel some of the bad luck I have passed on to you."

Yu Huan asked: "If that's the case, if I carry this thing, can I touch Ruan Ruan?"

"No!" Ruan Qiuping said seriously, "Yu Huan, can you please pay more attention to your own safety!"

"Are you sure this fragment is useful?"

"Of course it's useful. This is something from that lucky god. My sister took his jade pendant and even won the first prize in the blind box. And this fragment was from his cup. I guess the luck on it is even better!"

"If this thing is so useful and magical, why can't I touch you even though I have it?"

"... Even if it works, you can't just touch me... You can't be less afraid of being stabbed just because you have medicine, right?"

"Then I don't want it. Ruan Ruan can take it yourself. Although Ruan Ruan said that this fragment is useful, I can neither touch Ruan Ruan nor get closer to Ruan Ruan if I hold it, so it is useless to me."

"It's useless, you take it too!"

"I never take useless things."

Yu Huan stretched out his hand, as if he was determined to return the fragments to Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, but finally let out a leak. He took another step closer to Yu Huan.

The distance between the two people's shoulders was only ten centimeters.

Yu Huan put away the fragments and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"But you must not touch me! Never!" Ruan Qiuping emphasized.

"good."

Yu Huan smiled slightly and agreed for the time being.
