Chapter 47 Dream
“Wo Ri!”
“You damn it, come back!”
“Who taught you to say that?!”
However, Xu Wanrong’s obsession had already vanished like smoke. Liu Haoyu could only shout a few times in frustration on the spot.
In the end, he could only helplessly lower his hand and let out a sigh of melancholy.
“People have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, this has always been,”
Liu Haoyu turned and returned to the haunted house.
To Liu Haoyu, the dim and lightless haunted house was not so cold at the moment.
Perhaps it was because he had been there for too long, but he felt that it was becoming more and more like home…
Had he been infected by Qin Liu?
Liu Haoyu returned to the bedroom in thought.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Qin Liu’s cute breathing sound.
The young girl was lying on the bed, curled up.
Her precious and adorable beauty, which was completely unlike that of a human, reappeared before Liu Haoyu.
Moonlight sprinkled on her silver-white hair, making her aura appear like that of a fairy descending from heaven.
“Delicious…”
Unfortunately, the moment she spoke, her aura was completely covered by a silly demeanor.
Liu Haoyu sat by the bed and placed his hand on Qin Liu’s small head.
Last time, it was this very capable guide who rescued Old Deng from the Red Gate.
Even now, he still didn’t know how to repay her.
If he gave flowers or gifts, Qin Liu didn’t seem to care much about them; if he gave food, it wouldn’t seem sincere enough.
Hmm… Perhaps he should burn a few more incense sticks for her.
As Liu Haoyu thought this, he lit a large handful of incense sticks on the shrine.
The flourishing incense fire once again brought the strange sound of “Merit +3” to Qin Liu’s mind.
“Mmm…”
This sound was not unbearable for Qin Liu, but it wasn’t very comfortable either.
As Liu Haoyu sat by the bed, perhaps sensing a warm and comfortable aura.
She turned over, her back pressing tightly against Liu Haoyu.
She clung to him.
Their backs touched, and Qin Liu’s furrowed brows finally relaxed.
In her dream.
She dreamed of what would have happened if she hadn’t saved Old Deng at that time.
Deng Xiaolin, bearing the pain of losing a loved one, would have become incredibly desperate. Liu Haoyu, in order to help her overcome this despair of losing everything, would have chosen to leave the haunted house.
Qin Liu naturally agreed with Liu Haoyu’s decision. Just as she had thought from the beginning, she hoped that Liu Haoyu and Deng Xiaolin would get together.
After this incident, their relationship quickly heated up, and they eventually ended up together.
Even though her heart was filled with blessings for Liu Haoyu, she was once again left alone in the dilapidated and secluded haunted house.
Even if Liu Haoyu came back to check on her from time to time.
But this strange and unsettling loneliness continued to gnaw at her body and erode her soul.
The dream ended in endless darkness.
Looking at herself in the darkness, Qin Liu felt so unfamiliar… so terrifying.
No one knew what happened next.
At this moment, Qin Liu slowly woke up.
She opened her hazy eyes, rubbed them, and then looked at Liu Haoyu beside her.
His calloused big hand was placed on her head, and her head… seemed to be resting on Liu Haoyu’s lap?!
Qin Liu was startled, and Liu Haoyu, seeing this, said.
“You seemed to be having a nightmare and were tossing and turning everywhere, so I let you rest your head on my lap.”
“Huh huh huh?!”
Qin Liu immediately sat up. As if she had seen a ghost, she looked at Liu Haoyu and said.
“Didn’t you go to find Deng Xiaolin?!”
“What Deng Xiaolin?”
Liu Haoyu was a bit confused at this moment.
Then he remembered that he had just left for a while; could it be that Qin Liu had woken up during this period?
Realizing this possibility, Liu Haoyu patiently explained.
“It was Xu Wanrong’s soul looking for me, so I went out to take a look.”
“Ah…”
Qin Liu finally realized that she had been dreaming just now.
Liu Haoyu had not left the haunted house at all, nor had he gotten together with Deng Xiaolin.
No?
Why should she care about such a thing?
Qin Liu shook her small head.
“Didn’t you say you would guide her to complete her revenge? Is it done now?”
Before Qin Liu fell asleep, she vaguely remembered Liu Haoyu saying that he wanted Xu Wanrong to personally avenge herself.
“It didn’t take much effort. I had already inserted the chain into that guy’s stomach earlier, so I just needed to give a little guidance, and Xu Wanrong would naturally find him. After avenging herself, she returned here and expressed her very… sincere gratitude to me.”
For some reason, Liu Haoyu’s tone was somewhat gritted when he spoke the last five words.
“Now she has transcended and reincarnated. The next step is to return to the hotel, find that wandering soul, and tell her about this matter.”
Of course, Liu Haoyu would not tell her about Xu Wanrong’s death. Instead, he would clean the teddy bear he was holding, bring it over, and leave a white lie. That way, the mother should be able to leave this world without any regrets, right?
“Are we leaving tomorrow?”
Qin Liu looked at Liu Haoyu expectantly, like a golden retriever eager to go out for a walk.
But she had white hair.
“Yes,” Liu Haoyu nodded and said, “But it’s not dawn yet. Let’s go to Jiangliu City when it gets light.”
“Hmm hmm.”
Qin Liu closed her eyes, but after closing them, she opened them again and looked at Liu Haoyu.
She seemed to be hesitating about what to say.
Liu Haoyu naturally felt Qin Liu’s gaze.
He flipped through the black book without turning his head.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. Sleep.”
“Oh… Okay.”
Qin Liu closed her eyes again.
She knew that Liu Haoyu wouldn’t sleep at this hour. His biological clock was already similar to that of a nocturnal creature, so she naturally wouldn’t say too much.
Looking at Qin Liu’s quiet sleeping posture, it would be a lie to say that Liu Haoyu had no other thoughts in his heart.
But to say that he wanted to do something sneaky to Qin Liu was impossible.
As mentioned before.
Qin Liu was like a pure lotus untouched by the mud.
She was too innocent to bear to make a move against her.
To put it plainly, this girl looked too naive.
Making a move would result in a heavy sense of guilt.
So, he might as well look at her legs.
Liu Haoyu’s gaze fell on Qin Liu’s little feet.
But soon, the black book began to shake.
It automatically flipped open to a blank page and wrote three words on it.
“Heh~ Men.”
However, Liu Haoyu naturally couldn’t be bothered by the black book’s evaluation.
He was just looking, not doing anything lewd or vulgar.
He had a clear conscience, alright.
——————
The east began to turn white, and the long night was about to end.
Liu Haoyu, who had been reading the black book all night, silently closed it.
Don’t ask why he didn’t turn a single page all night.
He just didn’t know.
Qin Liu also finally woke up.
However, because the imaging was intermittent, Liu Haoyu didn’t notice this.
It wasn’t until Qin Liu spoke that he came back to his senses.
“What time is it?”
“6 o’clock, it’s quite early. Do you want to go to Jiangliu City for some rice noodle soup?”
“Okay…”
Liu Haoyu and Qin Liu didn’t go out much during the day.
After all, Liu Haoyu’s schedule was too much like that of the underworld. Basically, when he woke up, it was already around 4 or 5 in the afternoon.
So, it was rare for them to come to Jiangliu City at this time.
They had to postpone looking for the wandering soul at the hotel until tonight. Therefore, during the day, Liu Haoyu had to go and check on Old Deng’s situation.
The old man had been discharged from the hospital yesterday, and it wasn’t too late to visit him today.
The two first went to a rice noodle shop, packed four servings of rice noodles, and then started walking towards the folk custom shop.
When they arrived at the folk custom shop, Deng Xiaolin happened to be opening the door to the shop.
Seeing Liu Haoyu, the spirited and lively young girl’s drowsiness completely vanished without a trace.
“Hao Ge! Sister Qin! Why didn’t you say you were coming over?”
“We were afraid of disturbing your sleep,” Liu Haoyu said with a smile, picking up the rice noodles in his hand.
“I brought breakfast for you and Old Deng, saving you the trouble of cooking.”
“Thank you, Hao Ge!”
Led by Deng Xiaolin, the two entered the house.
Holding the rice noodle boxes, she walked with a skip.
Seeing her so happy, Liu Haoyu asked.
“How is Old Deng doing?”
With her loved one safe, Deng Xiaolin was much more lively than usual.
“I wanted to ask Grandpa to stay a few more days, but he wouldn’t agree, so I had to come back. But judging by his condition, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
As she spoke, Deng Xiaolin couldn’t help but lean closer to Liu Haoyu, sniffed, and muttered.
“Speaking of which… Hao Ge, why do you smell like Sister Qin? Sniff, sniff… Did you sleep in the same bed?”
“Are you a dog with a keen nose?”
Liu Haoyu stepped aside and said.
“I saw Qin Liu having a nightmare last night, so I went up to touch her head. It’s normal for some of her scent to stay on me.”
“Is that really true?”
Deng Xiaolin looked at Liu Haoyu suspiciously and was about to say something more.
But at this moment, footsteps came from inside the house.
Bai Anting, who had just come out of the bathroom wearing only her underwear, appeared before Liu Haoyu.
“Xiaolin, where did you put my clothes… Ah?”
“Ah?”
After a man and a woman made eye contact, Bai Anting’s face turned red.
She covered her chest in disbelief and said.
“Wait! You should have told me in advance when someone was coming in!”
“I didn’t know you’d come out wearing just your underwear!”
Because Bai Anting’s underwear was very revealing, Deng Xiaolin stood in front of Liu Haoyu.
But before she could, someone… no, a ghost, had already covered Liu Haoyu’s eyes.
Liu Haoyu, who was plunged into darkness, couldn’t help but complain.
“Is it worth it for something that doesn’t exist?”
