My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 141: The Man with the Baby Seeks for His Wife (21)

Although she said she was resting in the town, Chu Zhizhi still felt sore in her waist and legs, and the culprit was the young man who was considered by the world to have a cold temperament.

Chu Zhizhi now saw that Pei Yuzhou was still angry. Why was this man jealous? So he wanted to torment her all the time, and each time it would take at least an hour. Chu Zhizhi felt that sooner or later she would be squeezed dry by him.

So she started to sulk at him and ignored him for the whole day.

As night fell that day, Pei Yuzhou could no longer hold back and cornered Chu Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, when we get back, we'll get married."

Chu Zhizhi pursed her lips and said, "Who wants to marry you?"

Her voice is as delicate and soft as she is. Even when she is angry, she will deliberately ignore people and just show her non-threatening claws like a kitten. Even if she loses her temper, it is just an attractive way of acting coquettishly.

Chu Zhizhi snorted, "Pei Yuzhou, there are so many people who like me, I don't have to marry only you."

"Zhizhi, you are mine!"

Pei Yuzhou's emotions were a little out of control. Before, he only thought that Chu Zhizhi was his mistress, so he should be the one in the superior position. But as his feelings for Chu Zhizhi grew deeper, their status has now changed.

Chu Zhizhi was right. She was so eye-catching, there must be a lot of people pursuing her.

What if she wanted to leave him?

"Zhizhi, didn't we agree before? You will marry me, and I will be your husband." Pei Yuzhou's eyes were red. He pinched Chu Zhizhi's waist and said affectionately: "As long as you call me husband, I will give you my life."

Chu Zhizhi's heartbeat was disrupted. At this moment, she actually had the illusion that this man really loved her, but soon, she shook her head to keep herself sober.

Pei Yuzhou has a childhood sweetheart and so many rich ladies who like him, so how could he really like her?
But...but this man is so handsome.

Chu Zhizhi looked at the man so close to her and her heart began beating like a drum.

The two people's eyes locked, and they slowly got closer and closer to each other.

"Excuse me, please move aside, you are blocking the road."

The sudden sound destroyed the beautiful and ambiguous atmosphere.

Chu Zhizhi hurriedly took two steps back and stepped out of Pei Yuzhou's arms.

Pei Yuzhou looked displeased, and his eyes seemed to contain icy blades, but when he saw the person who appeared at an inopportune time, his gaze paused slightly.

Chu Xiang was wearing a white and green chest-length skirt today, with only light green velvet flowers decorating her black hair. Although simple, it was full of vitality.

She stood on the stairs holding a small white lamp, bathed in the dim light, becoming a beautiful touch of bright color.

Chu Xiang said: "I don't want to disturb you, but I see you have been standing here talking for a long time, and it seems that you still have a lot to say, so I can only speak out to disturb you."

Since ancient times, the corner of the wall has always been a suitable place for the male protagonist to pin down the female protagonist, making her red-eyed and pinch her waist to death. For many couples who are in conflict, the corner of the wall is simply a holy place for them to pull and reconcile.

But the problem was that the space at the corner going down the stairs was very small. The two of them had been struggling for a long time without any result, and Chu Xiang could not wait any longer.

Pei Yuzhou looked unnatural. He stepped aside and asked, "Miss Chu, are you going to participate in the disaster relief ceremony?"

"I'm going to go for a walk outside." Chu Xiang left without stopping, and of course without looking anyone in the eye.

Chu Zhizhi muttered, "The dog's eyes look down on people."

Pei Yuzhou held Chu Zhizhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi, don't you also like the hustle and bustle? Let's go out for a walk too."

Chu Zhizhi turned her face away proudly, "Okay, let's go for a walk outside."

Today is the Disaster Relief Festival. White lanterns can be seen everywhere on the streets. Looking up, it looks like a maze of white light spots, enveloping the people inside. It is said that too many people died that year, and every household was holding funerals at that time, so today's white lanterns are to commemorate those who have passed away.

People walking on the street hold a small white lamp in their hands. In addition, men hold red silk and women hold willow branches. It is said that a burning bonfire has been prepared in the center of the town. When midnight comes, people will gather here and burn everything with flames.

Everyone said that this kind of festival had been going on for many years, but Chu Xiang felt unfamiliar with the scenes before him.

"Girl, buy a mask!"

The vendor shouted enthusiastically, attracting Chu Xiang's attention. She walked over, picked up a pure white fox mask, and asked curiously: "Why do the masks you sell here all look the same?"

The vendor replied: "This is a tradition of the disaster-repelling festival. It is said that everyone wears a mask and works together to suppress the evil spirits. If the evil spirits come back for revenge in the future, they will not be able to recognize people. Girl, you should buy a mask too. You see, everyone has a mask."

Indeed, everyone passing by, regardless of gender, age or status, was either holding a mask in their hands or wearing it on their face. In this situation, if you were not wearing a mask, you would appear to be different.

Chu Xiang bought a mask and just tried to put it on his face when he heard a noisy noise in the distance.

"Beat the Plague God!"

The crowd shouted and came in a bustling crowd. The carved human-shaped wood was painted white and was carried by several men in the middle of the crowd. In fact, its original appearance could no longer be seen, because along the way, many people had left a lot of traces of damage on the wood carving.

Chu Xiang had heard that at midnight, the wooden sculpture representing the God of Plague would be thrown into the bonfire, turning all the people's illnesses and pains into ashes.

When the "God of Plague" passed by, people put on masks.

Chu Xiang was pushed by the crowd. Inadvertently, she saw a dazzling man in red in the crowd opposite her. He was wearing a hood and a mask. His familiar figure made her eyes light up.

"Floating life!"

Chu Xiang's voice was soon drowned out by those shouting to fight the God of Plague, and she desperately squeezed her way through the crowd.

The man in red seemed to have seen her, but seemed not to have, because he just let her feet be stepped on and pushed countless times as she stumbled closer and closer.

The girl, who was always very delicate, looked a little disheveled. One of the velvet flowers on her head had fallen off, the ribbon tied into a beautiful bow on her skirt was crooked, and the hem of her skirt and her white embroidered shoes were stained with dust and looked dirty, which was really not in line with her status.

However, the moment she stretched out her hand to grab him, she took off the mask on her face, and a bright smile spread across her beautiful face, "I got you!"

He lowered his head and looked at her, but did nothing else.

The joy on Chu Xiang's face slowly faded away. Realizing something was wrong, he let go of her hand.

The crowd was getting stronger and stronger, and she was pushed several steps to the side.

The man in red hesitantly stretched out his hand, and just when he was about to grab her wrist, a stronger force pulled her into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

The young man in red took off the mask on his face, and his dark eyes looked confusedly in the direction where she disappeared. He bent down and picked up the green velvet flower that was about to be trampled. He tilted his head, looking even more confused.

After a while, he took out three copper coins again out of habit, and when they fell into his palm again, all three copper coins were facing backwards.

among the crowd.

Chu Xiang was pulled into a familiar embrace by a strong arm. A familiar breath enveloped her from all directions. She was protected in the embrace full of security. She left the noisy crowd, but also felt as if she was abandoned by the bustling crowd and arrived in the deserted and silent shadows of the trees.

Chu Xiang raised her face and was attracted by the beautiful red eyes at first sight.

The young man with white hair and red eyes had curved eyebrows and held her face in his pale hands. In the world full of white candlelight, he was the only one with red clothes and red eyes who looked like a flame, hot and dazzling.

He said: "Xiangxiang, I miss you."
