Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?

The sky gradually darkened. In the pitch-black night, there were no stars or moon. In the dark yard, a dim lamp swayed gently in the whistling wind.

"Sister, I'm sorry"

A thin figure knelt in the snow. Although his back was not straight, his action really shocked the two people who were about to enter the house.

"You...you, what are you doing?"

Although Qiuyu couldn't see clearly, she saw the general outline. She put her hands on her waist, handed the umbrella in her hand to Qiuyu, stepped forward, and asked

"What are you doing, forcing me?"

Wen Baixu shook his head, raised his thin face, and looked at Qiuyu in front of him. "No, I...I want to..."

"No need, young master... Wen Baixu, it's probably because of what happened this morning, you don't have to do this"

As he spoke, he walked to Qiuyu's side with an umbrella in his hand, handed it to Qiuyu, and stretched out his delicate white jade hand to help him up.

"Kneeling to heaven, kneeling to earth, kneeling to parents is the right thing to do; kneeling to mentors and kneeling to His Majesty has been a tradition since ancient times, but kneeling to me... is against the rules."

"No... this is not right. Of course what you said makes sense, but... if you are wrong you have to admit it. In my opinion, this is the most sincere apology I can express. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words. It's my fault. Please forgive me..."

As he was talking, the man on the ground was about to hit the man on the ground. Qiu Yu quickly supported him and said, "I told you... it's against the rules for you to do this. If someone sees you..."

"Sister, although this is against the rules, you are the best sister I have ever met here. You are gentle to others and do things in detail. I really regret saying that this morning, so... this kneeling is not to say that I hope you can forgive me, but to show my willingness to admit my mistakes."

Wen Baixu raised his hand to wipe his runny nose and lowered his head.

"Sister, although in the eyes of others, I am forcing you to accept my apology, but it is not like that... You don't need to feel psychologically burdened. This is not coercion. I just want to admit my mistake and express my most sincere apology. Everyone says that 'a man's knees are made of gold, and he will not kneel easily', but even if it is gold, my sister's love is more important than gold. In order to admit my mistake, what's the harm in kneeling once?"

"Master..." Qiu Yu was a little moved for a moment, and a tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

"Sister, he is forcing you to accept it. Don't fall into his trap. Let's go..." After saying that, he pulled Qiu Yu up from her squatting position and pushed the door open to enter the house.

But as soon as he stepped into the house, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said to Wen Baixu who was kneeling in the snow: "Since you want to apologize, then show some sincerity. Why don't you just kneel outside the house?"

In fact, Qiuyu despised this kind of coercion the most. Isn't this pure moral kidnapping? In her mind, this guy must be just putting on a show. He will definitely get up as soon as they leave. She has seen this trick many times.

"Okay, Sister Qiuyu, it's a deal."

Saying this, I endured the pain and knelt in the snow.

"Ayu..."

Qiuyu wanted to struggle, but Qiuyu, who had a tough attitude, pulled her in and the door closed gently.

"Ayu, this won't work. It's so cold outside. Wen Baixu will freeze to death."

Qiuyu stood up anxiously and was about to walk to the door

Qiuyu grabbed Qiuyu's shoulders and held her in place. "Don't worry, sister. A man like him will definitely not be able to stand kneeling for a while. What are you afraid of? We have seen this kind of thing many times, right? And he is not a fool."

"But he is the first person to apologize like this."

"Are you moved, sister?"

Qiuyu looked at her with a puzzled look, as if trying to find some answers from her.

"You...what...are you talking about? Don't say that. It's not good for others to hear it. After all...I am a prince. I just...don't say that again in the future, Xiaoyu." As he spoke, his face gradually returned to normal and he went to the back to wash up.

Qiuyu looked at her sister's back, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and followed her.

The lights were on in the house, but it was freezing cold outside. Snow began to fall again, and the drifting snowflakes fell from the sky to the branches and then to Wen Baixu's head in the snow.

[Host, you are shaking again]

"I...I...I'm cold...I can't do it."

Wen Baixu was trembling as he spoke, but he remained kneeling there motionless, the same as when the two men left.

[Why don’t we just forget about it and go, they’re not here anyway]

Wen Baixu's body stiffened when he heard this. His body, which had been shaking all the time, slowly stopped shaking and his back slightly bent.

[Host, let's go. They don't know. Anyway, judging from her expression just now, she must have forgiven you. Let's just...]

The system's voice was still chattering in Wen Baixu's mind, but Wen Baixu's thoughts suddenly recalled an incident from his youth. Although he was not wrong at the time, his father's words suddenly echoed in his mind...

"I do not go"

[Huh? Why?]

"Because no matter whether you are wrong or not, as long as you believe that this person or this matter is right, then what you did is not in vain. Moreover, this matter was originally my fault. I admit my fault. Moreover, she did not explicitly say that she forgives me. She just did it because of my identity. I don't want her to compromise because of my identity."

[Before you said this, I wanted to persuade you, but since you have made up your mind, I will cheer you on.]

“Good”

He straightened his back again, even though his back was hurting.

Ding~ding~

The sound of bells rang out, and Wen Baixu was stunned. He looked left and right, but the yard was so small. There was only an old tree swaying in the wind, and nothing else. Wen Baixu looked around in confusion and asked the system

"Mianmian, did you hear that?"

[What? Host]

"The sound of a bell, like..."

"It's like dancing with bell anklets, right, little sir~"

A charming voice sounded in his ears, the voice was so charming, as if the person in front of him was her beloved lover.

"Yes, that's right, Mianmian, why are you so..."

Wen Baixu smiled and turned back towards the place where the sound came from. Suddenly, with just one glance, he fell to the ground as if he had seen a ghost, his mouth wide open.

[Host, are you okay?]

"My dear, I am here to show my respect."

Two different voices sounded in Wen Baixu's ears at the same time.

"Huff~" Wen Baixu panted heavily, carefully stretched out his finger and pointed at the person in front of him who was still wearing a thin veil... No, the female ghost asked in a trembling voice

"You...why are you here again...sister"

The female ghost smiled and walked towards Wen Baixu in small steps. The ding-ding sound in the air rang again.

"You... don't come over here... be careful or I'll hit you."

Then he grabbed a handful of snow from the snow beside him and threw it at her.

The female ghost lifted up one side of her gauze dress to block the snow, and she walked over with a smile, squatted in front of Wen Baixu who was still moving backwards, and grabbed his chin.

"Hiss~ You..."

Wen Baixu suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and stopped moving his body, staring at the ghost's hand.

"You...how could you pinch it? You can't even close the window, but you can pinch my chin. This doesn't make sense."

[Host, you are talking about logic with a female ghost, are you crazy?]

"But this is not scientific~" Wen Baixu immediately shouted back.

"Science? How come I don't understand what you are saying, young master?"

The ghost girl tilted her head as she spoke, as if she was thinking, but more than that, she looked a little cute.

"Ahem~" Seeing the female ghost pretending to be young, Wen Baixu couldn't help but cough, and seriously freed his chin from the restraint of her hand.

"You.....Why are you here again.....And shouldn't you..."

"Wherever my young master is, I will follow him." She said this and leaned her head on his shoulder tenderly.

"Eh~" Wen Baixu instantly got goosebumps all over his body, and his body couldn't stop shaking. He wanted to get away from her.

The ghost girl seemed to sense his reluctance and looked at him with a tearful expression, saying

"Young Master, do you despise me? Is it because I am not pure?"

"Your origin... If you are not innocent, then no one is innocent."

Wen Baixu said with a puzzled look

The ghost girl stiffened when she heard this, slowly lowered her arms that were covering her face, and murmured, "You really don't dislike me?"

"Dislike? Why? Aren't you the wife of Cui Xiucai, the tofu seller in the west of the city? I heard that Cui Xiucai became famous at a young age, but his family was poor. In addition to selling tofu every day to supplement his family income, he is also working hard to pass the imperial examination this year. It is said that the reason why he can take the imperial examination with peace of mind is thanks to his virtuous wife, who is filial to her mother-in-law, takes care of both the family and the outside world. She is a rare good wife... I heard that he wants to find his wife day and night."

"Really? Are they okay?"

The ghost girl's expression changed after hearing this, and she looked anxiously towards Wen Baixu.

Wen Baixu was startled. He thought he had said something wrong, and quickly said, "This... I heard this from the aunt near the inn before. I have never been to Cui's house in the west of the city."

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is... I thought... Because of that incident, Cui Lang never wanted to see me again. Fortunately..."

The ghost girl felt as if she had put down a huge rock and felt relieved for a moment.

"But there is one thing that is very strange..." Wen Baixu poked her hand

The ghost looked at him suspiciously.

"According to the people who visited that day, Cui Xiucai stopped selling tofu a few days ago and disappeared. He has not been seen for several days."

The ghost girl lowered her eyes and sighed slightly, but she didn't seem to be surprised by this.

"Aren't you worried about him? Will he..."

"No... No, he promised me... that he would let Cui Lang leave, but he would not embarrass him." The female ghost gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Who?"

"Yes..." The female ghost suddenly seemed to sense something, her body trembled, and then she stood up, glanced at the door, and hurriedly said to Wen Baixu

"My dear, you are a good person, but I have my own reasons. Please leave here quickly and don't interfere in this matter anymore. Otherwise, I will not be able to help myself and will hurt you."

As he spoke, he looked at the yellow on the snow again, pursed his lips with a smile like a flower, and disappeared in an instant.

"But... you still didn't say it."

Wen Baixu stretched out his hand anxiously

【Host....】

"Why did she say half of it?"

【Host....】

“Are all ghosts or paper people like this? No wonder we don’t know who the murderer is until the last episode of the TV series.”

[Host.....you bow your head]

Wen Baixu was suddenly startled by the voice in his head. He shuddered and said, "Why are you yelling? You scared me." He lowered his head and looked

Just one glance and I was stunned...

[Host, you... peed]

Wen Baixu nodded blankly. His head was dazed by the explosion on the ground.

"what are you doing here?"

A sound as cool and clear as a mountain spring flowing slowly passed through the distance of the courtyard and reached Wen Baixu's ears.

Wen Baixu turned his head blankly and glanced at the man standing outside the door. His body froze, and he immediately covered his face and screamed

"Ah~ Help me..."
