Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Chen Zui planned to start with that art exhibition.

Xu Bai also guessed that Chen Zui would start with that art exhibition.

Evil ghosts don't need sleep. Xu Bai blinked and looked at Chen Zui from top to bottom.

"Close your eyes." Chen Zui muttered, and he whispered, "Rest."

"I don't need to rest." Xu Bai held up his cheek, pressing it slightly concave, "Chen Zui, I want to eat strawberry cake tomorrow."

"Eat." Chen Zui's voice became even quieter. "Go buy some tomorrow."

"Chen Zui." Xu Bai was relentless. Although he didn't push the man away, nor did he say "Don't sleep", he really didn't want to shut up. "Chen Zui, are you asleep?"

With a frown on his face, Chen Zui opened his eyes and said helplessly, "Lie down."

He patted the space beside him and moved forward to make room for Xu Bai.

It seems that Chen Haozuo no longer regards the evil ghost as an evil ghost.

Xu Bai thought about how he had looked so angry at that time. It had only been a few days, but it felt as if a long, long time had passed.

The evil ghost had no breathing and no body temperature, and Chen Zui could hardly feel the presence of another person beside him.

"I want to watch TV."

The evil ghost lay down and then sat up again, "Now..."

"Shh." Chen Zui closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Let me tell you a story."

Xu Bai stopped talking. He stared at Chen Zui, waiting for his story.

Chen Zui had many stories, and he used to tell them to the children who didn’t sleep every night. He had to stumble and write them down on pieces of paper so that they could peek at the content of the stories, and he never repeated himself and could comfort them with emotion.

"Once upon a time, there was a greedy kitten in the forest. It would get hungry again soon after eating every day, so it would look for food everywhere."

"It had eaten all the cookies on the table and there was not a single candy left in the drawer. Finally, it had no choice but to open the refrigerator, where it finally found something to eat."

Xu Bai: "What is it?"

The room was dark and Chen Zui's voice was soft and low.

"Well, its good friend also asked it, "Kitten, kitty, what are you looking for?" The kitten happily took out a bag of things from the refrigerator and told his good friend.

Xu Bai closed his eyes.

He saw a boy sitting beside the bed, the moonlight shining down and giving him color.

"elder brother."

"I know." The teenage boy smiled. His voice had gradually deepened due to his voice change. "Close your eyes. I'll tell you a story."

——Let me tell you a story.

Xu Bai's eyes gradually showed pain, but before the emotion could spread, he quickly suppressed it.

Chen Zui: “It’s dumplings.”

Xu Bai had heard this story before.

The kitten said: Find some dumplings.

Chen Zui opened his mouth, "The kitten said, find some dumplings."

"Find some dumplings, go to bed early, go to bed early."

Chen Zui gave half of the thin quilt covering his body to Xu Bai, and after telling the story, he said nothing else.

"Chen Zui."

Xu Bai called out softly.

He said, “I still want to hear stories.”

Chen Zui closed his eyes and breathed evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.

The evil ghost floated up from the bed, and the cat doll was still lying quietly on the sofa. Xu Bai made a move to pick it up, but missed it.

Xu Bai: [I always thought I had been in the bureau since I was a child.]

Liu'er didn't respond. He hadn't appeared much recently because of Chen Zui. Liu'er always felt that he owed Xu Bai something, so he couldn't accompany Xu Bai and make jokes like before.

【Liu'er.】Xu Bai asked, 【When did we become partners?】

【Have you forgotten? 】

Liu Er: [We cannot employ child labor in the Quick-Pass Bureau. We will officially become partners after you turn 18.]

Xu Bai: [Then...when did I come to the bureau? ]

He had always firmly confirmed that he had been trained to do tasks in the fast-travel bureau since he was a child. At that time, the task training in the group was one after another, and Xu Bai complained in his heart more than once - it was because these memories might be clear, so he was not too interested in the "past" at the beginning.

Liu Er paused for a moment, [Did you forget? I am just code and data.]

Don't ask, I can't speak.

Xu Bai: [I joined the bureau when I was 18, and then I was selected into the sadomasochistic writing group, right? ]

Liu'er wanted to scream.

Don't ask anymore. It's not that it doesn't want to tell you, or that it's hiding it from Xu Bai. It's just that the program code set by Chen Zui is so sophisticated that it can't even give a relevant response.

His evasive attitude was obvious, but it actually confirmed Xu Bai's guess.

The frequently appearing fragmented memories only need a trigger point to be connected into a line. Xu Bai sighed, as if disappointed.

Liu Er: […I’m sorry.]

Xu Bai: [Hmm?]

[Oh.] Xu Bai shook two fingers, [It's okay, two bags of melon seeds to compensate me, and - a small cake.] Xu Bai put his hands together and gestured a very exaggerated size, [This big, a small cake with blueberries, strawberries, green grapes, cantaloupe, and pudding in the middle.]

Liu Er: ...

Very good, Xu Bai is still the familiar Xu Bai.

Liu Er: [Can you eat something this big? ]

Xu Bai was very proud, [Of course - if you don't eat my piece, I'll eat another piece, and then another piece -]

Liu Er: [Shut up, shut up! ]

Liu'er was happy from the bottom of his heart, happy that his relationship with Xu Bai was the same as before - although they had never had any major conflicts.

The bed curtains blocked out the sunlight tightly, and when Chen woke up, he was looking into the blinking eyes of the evil ghost.

"Strawberry Cake?"

When Chen Zui was tidying himself up, the evil ghost followed him like a little tail. No place was like the bedroom, as long as there was a gap, the sunlight would pour in.

Light is deadly to evil spirits.

Chen Zui watched Xu Bai carefully avoid it and couldn't help laughing, then quickly straightened the corners of his lips.

It was like this in the past.

Xu Bai liked to follow him the most, reaching out to touch his wrist when cutting vegetables, and jumping on him when sitting on the sofa.

"Don't follow me. The sun is strong today."

The evil ghost retreated to the corner, his eyes shifting from Chen Zui to somewhere else and then back again.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Zui felt sad and painful, and for a moment he began to regret what he had just said.

"actually……"

"Chen Zui." Xu Bai didn't come over. He saw a ray of sunlight shining on the man's face. Ghosts are always greedy. "I want to go out, too."

He was not very old when he died.

So Chen Zui could forgive all the bad things he had done.

Chen Zui couldn't refuse him. Xu Bai climbed on top of him and looked at the city, which had become unrecognizable to him, through Chen Zui's eyes.

There was a lot of traffic and the shops on both sides of the road looked very stylish. Chen Zui told people the direction of the cake shop, and the evil ghost took over his body and looked around all the way to find it.

"Are you here?" The salesperson was a young girl. She came over to him when she saw him. It was obvious that she was familiar with him. She asked, "Is the strawberry cake still available today?"

"I want to see something else."

"it is good."

The salesperson was deeply impressed by him. He looked like a cool and handsome guy, but every time he came to buy strawberry cake, the contrast was perfect!

This is an old shop. In the glass window, the chef is placing strawberries on the cake, and the aroma of freshly baked egg tarts wafts out.

"What a coincidence."

Xu Bai was watching intently when he suddenly heard a woman's voice, "I can't believe I met you here."
