"For me, that person has always been an unattainable existence. Because I have always been watching him from behind, so even if he doesn't remember me, it is normal. I thought I would never see him again I've seen him, I didn't expect to be able to watch him like this this time thanks to you, I'm already very satisfied."
Listening to Naibai's words, my heart was full of mixed feelings, and the sad feeling in the dream seemed to return to my chest cavity.
"Chibai, actually I—" I couldn't help opening my mouth, wanting to tell Xiaobai the truth, but unexpectedly, I was interrupted by Xiaobai.
"I knew it a long time ago! You little brat who likes to peep into other people's privacy."
My face turned red in a flash, "Hey! I'm not a guy who likes to peek into people's privacy, you are!"
"I'm in your body, why don't you know what dreams you had at night." Chu Bai said leisurely, "But you are really a kind child. You don't tell me after you have dreams, because you are afraid Am I being hurt? But in this case, you underestimate me too much. I am a lonely soul wandering in the world for hundreds of years. Don't talk about your small thoughts, I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that can hurt me long ago. "
"..." I heard Xiaobai's voice, speechless.
"Although, when he asked who I was, I was indeed a little sad in my heart. But as time passed, when I wandered between Yin and Yang day after day, I understood one thing."
"What's up?"
"That is, he and I live in two completely different worlds. We see different scenery in our eyes and smell different air. It is impossible for such two people to have an intersection. No matter how much I yearn for him, I can only raise my head and look up at his background." Chu Bai smiled softly.
"I only found out later that when Mr. Wen was alone in the courtyard, he would often talk to passing monsters or ghosts. Probably because he was too lonely. Rather than saying that he was talking to us little monsters, it would be better It is said that he is talking to himself who is extremely lonely through our bodies. Chibai is the name of a bird he once raised. The name that I regard as a treasure is actually just his casual mention That's all."
"How could this be?" I murmured.
"However, Gu Yu, I'm still very happy!" Chu Bai's tone became cheerful again, and I could even imagine her blinking playfully, "You showed me a different Mr. Wen."
"No, different Mr. Wen?" I stammered.
"No matter what time it was before, Mr. Wen's expression was very lonely. He was always alone. I watched him for so long, but no one walked by his side. He seemed to be waiting for someone all the time. , the eyes always look into the distance, as if the soul is missing."
The Wen Jiubai in Chubai's mouth made me feel very strange. The lonely and soulless Wen Jiubai sounds incredible.
The Wen Jiubai in my memory, from the first time we met, always showed a strong and confident aura. Not only that, but he often made jokes about me, and played tantrums like a child from time to time, which made people feel helpless.
"But this time he has changed a lot. He always smiles, not only that, but his eyes are also bright, it seems like a completely different person. So I'm thinking, maybe it's the person he's been waiting for Finally came to him."
"Then who is the person he's waiting for?" I asked stupidly.
"Are you really stupid or fake!" Chu Bai said in a tone of hatred.
"Huh?" I was confused.
"Is there anyone else standing beside Mr. Wen besides you?"
stand on...
By Wen Jiubai's side
Wait, the direction of the topic suddenly started to feel a little bit wrong!
"No, no, you're thinking too much! You're definitely thinking too much!" I quickly waved my hand, "It's just a coincidence that I met him, a very accidental event, how could he have been waiting for me!"
"Human brat." Chu Bai let out a chuckle, "After experiencing so many things, do you really still believe in the word 'coincidence'?"
I was choked immediately, not knowing what to say.
"Although I don't know why, your existence must be very important to Mr. Wen. You should really take a look at the way he looks at you. It's like—" Chibai thought for a while, and said seriously Said, "It's like, there is nothing else in this world except you."
After I heard this sentence, I was completely stunned, and I didn't even know how to answer it.
"So, some things must be cherished now, otherwise, it will be too late to regret later." Chu Bai smiled, "Otherwise, you will be like me, even if you die, you can't help it." Chaosheng, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
I hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Thank you, I understand."
Chibai also laughed, and her voice came out of my mouth, it was a very strange and pleasant voice.
"Although I don't know what's going on between the two of you, but seeing the two of you working together to seal the giant gu carving, I always feel that as long as you are together, more miracles will be created. This is not very good thing?"
Xiaobai's thinking is probably very simple.
What you see is what you see, what is good is good, and what is bad is bad. Probably because of this, she was able to accept the fact that Wen Jiubai didn't remember her so calmly.
But in fact, things are not as simple as she said, Wen Jiubai is not a kind person, and even I... am not a naive child of mankind.
However, because of this, Hinabai's words moved me especially.
"Ah, it's getting late. It's time for me to go." Chu Bai said softly, "What's your name—Gu Yu, right? Gu Yu, it's really nice to meet you."
"Wait, that, actually..." I said hastily, "You can stay for a while, it's okay! I don't mind!"
"Are you really stupid?" I felt Nabai controlling my hand and pinching my own cheek.
"It hurts, what are you doing?"
"I am something that does not belong to this world. If I stay here for too long, your body will not be able to bear it. Over time, you will be corroded by the miasma and your whole body will fester. One week is already the limit , I have to go."
"Then, where are you going?" I quickly asked, "Go to the underworld? Will you be reincarnated?"
