The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Hehe, you can't bear to leave me, so you have to stay with me when I go back, so that you can be the first thing I see when I wake up!"

Gu An covered his mouth and laughed secretly, like a kitten that had stolen some fish, cunning and cute.

The smile in Lu Shi's eyes faded, "You seem to want to go back."

Gu An pondered for a moment, "Hmm... Actually, I don't really want to."

"But if I don't wake up, I'll become a ghost, and then I'll be dead. I don't want to die."

"and……"

Gu An lowered his head shyly. If it weren't for the fact that living souls cannot blush, his face would have been as red as an apple by now.

"I'm not in a good state now, you can't touch my head..."

His voice was as soft as the flutter of a mosquito's wings, carrying a subtle hint of grievance and loss. Despite this, Lu Shi heard every word clearly.

"you……"

Lu Shi opened her mouth, the words on the tip of her tongue, but in the end, she couldn't utter them. Her lips moved slightly a few times, as if she was about to speak but hesitated.

"what happened?"

Gu An raised his head and looked straight at Lu Shi, his clear eyes full of doubt.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Seeing that Lu Shi was still silent, Gu An's heart moved. Suddenly, as if he had guessed something, his eyes lit up instantly, flashing with anticipation: "Go ahead, I'm listening!"

"Nothing..." Lu Shi turned his face away, avoiding Gu An's sight.

"I'm afraid you won't have this attitude when you go back."

"Why? Do you think I'll change?"

Gu An was a little unhappy about Lu Shi's distrust of him, "I swear, I will never change!"

He was eager to reach out and grab Lu Shi's hand, but he missed, and his hands passed through Lu Shi's right hand without any hindrance.

His expression gradually became gloomy, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds, and his originally bright eyes now looked deep and dark.

All these changes fell into Lu Shi's eyes, making her raise her eyebrows, thinking that he finally had the temperament of a domineering CEO.

"Well, I believe you."

Just like this, I can't bear to let him go back...

But if I don't go back, I'll have no money.

You still need money.

Money is more important.

Lu Shi smiled and waved to Gu An, "Let's go. We haven't found a place to stay yet."

As she walked, she asked Gu An, "Where do you want to stay tonight?"

"Hotel, inn, B&B, or opening a blind box?"

When Gu An heard the new term "opening a blind box", his curiosity was instantly piqued.

His originally gloomy face seemed to be suddenly penetrated by sunlight, gradually dissipating, and was replaced by full of doubts and expectations.

"What on earth is that?" he asked impatiently.

Lu Shi deliberately kept the question in suspense and blinked mysteriously, "Did you choose this? Then follow me, and you'll find out later."

"Little boy, come out!" Lu Shi pursed his lips slightly and blew out a crisp and short whistle.

Although the whistle was not loud, it seemed to have a magical penetrating power, floating and spreading far away.

The next second, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the corner. It was a little ghost with a body as black as coal.

It grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth. "Hey, Boss, what do you want from me?"

The little ghost scratched his head and blinked his big round eyes, looking around Lu Shi curiously.

However, just a moment later, his attention was attracted by Gu An standing beside him.

"Wow, you smell so good!"

The little ghost couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at the same time he sniffed hard, as if he wanted to inhale all the tempting aroma into his stomach.

Then, it swallowed its saliva unconsciously, with a drooling expression on its face.

At this moment, its pair of green eyes flashed with strange light, like two balls of ghost fire dancing in the darkness, which was very creepy.

Gu An seemed to be frightened. He quickly took a step back and hid behind Lu Shi. He only peeked out one eye from behind Lu Shi's shoulder, carefully peeking at the little kid who was drooling at him.

"You are very brave." Lu Shi looked at the little ghost expressionlessly and spoke slowly.

Her voice was low and cold, with a hint of chill.

The little ghost suddenly felt a chill running up his spine and spreading throughout his body in an instant. He couldn't help but shiver violently.

Oh my God, he is worthy of being his boss. Even though he is already dead, he can still be scared by a word from his boss. This is really scary!

However, this is not a happy thing.

He retracted his gaze from Gu An and gave a simple, innocent laugh. "Boss, I didn't mean to do that. This... is just instinct."

"Stop laughing and lead the way." Lu Shi glanced at him lightly, and at the same time slightly turned his body to cover Gu An who was standing behind him more tightly.

"Understood!" The little ghost immediately became energetic when he heard this. He responded loudly and then ran forward. In the blink of an eye, he ran a long distance.

Lu Shi followed slowly behind him. Although his speed seemed slow, he was able to keep a distance from the fast-running kid.

Not long after, the little ghost stopped at a slightly eerie place. He turned around and shouted to Lu Shi, "Boss, we're here! This is it! I spent a lot of effort to find out the news. Someone will definitely come here to explore tonight!"

Hearing this, Lu Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if smiling, "What if there is nothing?"

"Hey, if no one comes, I'll go and lure them over. I won't let the boss go empty-handed!"

The little ghost smiled sinisterly and patted his chest to let Lu Shi put his mind at ease.

Lu Shi looked at the confident look on Xiao Gui's face, shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Alright, go away. I'll find you if I need anything."

"Okay, I won't disturb the good times between the boss and this...brother-in-law, hehe..."

The kid winked at Lu Shi and then ran away without a trace, completely unaware of the huge commotion his words would cause.

"Brother-in-law?"

A clear and somewhat doubtful voice suddenly sounded in Lu Shi's ears.

She turned her head slightly and saw Gu An looking at her with his big watery eyes, full of suspicion.

"Brother-in-law...are you referring to the relationship between us?" Gu An asked with his head tilted and blinking.

Lu Shi shook his head gently, a faint smile on his lips, "Little ghost, you are a little devil, I was just joking."

"If you don't like it, tell him not to yell anymore."

"No, I like it!"

Lu Shi was stunned. "Do you know what this means?"

"I know, he thinks we are husband and wife, or boyfriend and girlfriend."

Lu Shi raised his eyebrows.

It seems that amnesia does not affect basic common sense.

"You know and you still say you like it?"

"I just like it!" Gu An looked at Lu Shi stubbornly, his eyes full of determination.

He only knows Lu Shi now, he doesn't understand anything else and doesn't want to understand anything else.

He didn't know what he was like before, but he now felt unprecedented happiness, like a person who was pressed down by a mountain and finally got rid of the burden on his body, feeling extremely relaxed.

He also enjoyed spending time with Lu Shi, and felt that he could easily feel fulfilled just by being with her.

He thought this was love, and he wanted to be with Lu Shi.

So he also likes the title of "brother-in-law".

His smile was a little silly, but it made people feel his seriousness and stubbornness.

The smile in Lu Shi's eyes gradually surfaced: "If you like it, then let him call you that from now on."

"Yeah!" Gu An nodded repeatedly.

The glimmer in Lu Shi's eyes disappeared in an instant.

So good...

It's not a big deal to send it back later...
