Little Bosses and Little Monsters

Xu Ran took a deep breath and knocked on the door in front of him.

Some lazy and distorted male voice came from a vague direction behind the door - "Please come in."

At the same time, the door opened automatically with a "click".

Xu Ran opened the door and walked in, but the suite with the same layout as his room was empty.

Dijiang's voice came from the bedroom: "Is the Taoist leader? I'm here."

There was a brand new pair of swimming trunks on the big bed, and the tags hadn't been removed yet.Xu Ran stepped forward to pick it up, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Di Jiang lying on the edge of the pool in the warm mist, his eyes closed and his beautiful face in a prosperous age.

After being unable to hear anything for a while, Di Jiang's thick eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.Seeing Xu Ran standing by the bed blankly, Di Jiang smiled lazily.

"Little Daoist?"

Xu Ran shivered slightly: "Well, you..."

"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

On the way here, what Shu Jing said echoed in his brain, stimulating his temples to swell up and down, so that he almost didn't hear his own voice: "Are you going back to the demon world?"

Di Jiang sat up a little bit, resting his chin on one hand, his bare skin was completely the same color as the water vapor: "I have been in the demon world for many, many years, but in the human world, there are still many interesting things."

Does that mean he won't leave?

Xu Ran let out a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Daoist, do you hate me very much?"

"Ah?" Xu Ran never expected him to say such a thing.

"I see that you always talk to me alone, and now you wish for me to leave early. Could it be that I have offended you?"

Dijiang can eat the world with his face alone, and he probably rarely receives cold reception. At his age, he has met many people of all kinds. The person who attracted his attention, at first he thought that Xu Ran was also this type.But after getting along a few times, Di Jiang clearly felt that the other party didn't want to deal with him more, and even the estrangement between words was real.This is very puzzling.Di Jiang thought that he had always pretended to be gentle and polite in front of him and Shu Jing, but it didn't make sense that the fans outside said he was a "warm man", but when he came to Xu Ran, he kept him at a respectful distance.

Xu Ran himself didn't know how Dijiang had such a cognition, and his brain went blank for a moment in shock.

It's ridiculous.Because he was wearing clothes, the sun hanging in the sky came to him aggrievedly and asked, "Do you not like me?"

Is there anything more absurd than this?

"I don't hate you. I like you." Xu Ran said.

So for the first time, in the confrontation between Xu Ran and Di Jiang, the person who was stunned was Di Jiang.It's not that he hasn't imagined this possibility, but Xu Ran's sudden bluntness surprised him a little.

Xu Ran simply walked to the door leading to the courtyard, and sat down on the floor.

For a moment, time seemed to be frozen by the overly thick water vapor.

After a while, Xu Ran slowly said: "When I was young, I asked Master why my parents abandoned me. You see, I am in good health, without any congenital diseases, and I am not ugly, but they don't want me. And left me at the foot of a barren mountain."

It was not abandoned in an orphanage or a crowded place, but at the foot of Hezhi Mountain. If Xi Mozi hadn't just passed by there, it would be equivalent to giving Xu Ran a death sentence.

"Master said, because there are gods on Mount Hezhi (here is another capitalized shameless), my parents may not have much education, and the family conditions are not good. They are afraid that they will not be able to support me, so after hearing the legend about Mount Hesi, Put me there, I want the gods to adopt me, so that I will be a little god and don’t have to suffer with them. These are all made up by my master. The people around have never heard the word Jizhishan.” Xu Having said that, Ran laughed.

"I used to think that I should repay the kindness of the master, but I was scolded by the master, saying that I don't have the talent to cultivate the Tao, so just don't make trouble for him. But I am not reconciled. Although I can't cultivate the mind, I am in accord with the painting. Very good, I thought, this can also exorcise evil spirits. So I went to catch Heyao without telling my seniors and sisters, and followed Shu Jing. When I knew that you were actually a strange beast, I was also very entangled. I vowed to be an exorcist, but it turned out It's absurd to fall in love with a monster without doing anything well."

Di Jiang hesitated about how to answer him, but Xu Ran didn't wait for his answer.

"Thinking of it this way, I should really thank Shu Jing. He can be said to be the person who changed my mind a lot. He is a human being, but he lives with female ghosts, and there are a bunch of messy little monsters at home. Well, Tianwang is The biggest one among them. But their life has always been so peaceful, everything seems to be the same as the life of ordinary people. Now Tianwang can take human form, but it seems that there is no substantial change. Tianwang still follows him, and has no intention of doing anything It's not the same thing, and I don't think about increasing spiritual power. It's strange, is everyone too self-motivated? Or has it been me who has been too paranoid? Seeing them, I seem to understand a little bit, why are you hesitating? Claiming to exorcise evil spirits, senior brothers and sisters rarely go down the mountain to eliminate demons. Perhaps, the connection between lives, the way life is carried out, and the so-called evil and justice, all of these have nothing to do with whether it is a human or a demon."

Di Jiang has reservations about this passage, but now is not the right time to reveal everything, Xu Ran didn't realize it, and was still talking to himself: "After I went down the mountain, I learned that there is a word called 'gay', Then I realized that in the eyes of the public, not two people who love each other can be together. Men and women are logical, but between the same sex, it has become counterintuitive. I used to secretly laugh at these ignorant people , but now I understand that I am no different from them."

"People always tend to divide people who are different from themselves into another camp, or even demonize each other, as if as long as the other party disappears, the world will be harmonious and beautiful, and all evil disputes will disappear. But in fact, nothing will happen. What’s wrong with the other party? Speaking of which, I’m nothing more than a monster to them.”

"I said this because I have figured it out now. Anyway, there is a senior brother on top, and it is not my turn to inherit the hesitation mountain and help some justice. You don't look like a bad monster. Then I like you, and I will help you." There's nothing bad about it, nothing to worry about, and nothing to be ashamed of, right?"

Di Jiang froze for a moment, then smiled: "Yes."

"So that's it, I'll go back to the hot springs too."

After saying all this, Xu Ran seemed to relax, stood up with his swimming trunks in his arms, and left.

Di Jiang: "..."

that's all?Is this a confession?After saying that you like others, you just leave happily, without any other expressions, won't your conscience hurt?

The corner of Xu Ran's mouth couldn't stop the arc of joy.

It turns out that admitting that you like others is not that difficult at all.

"Little Daoist."

There is some sound of water behind.

Xu Ran turned his head subconsciously, and the next second he felt that he was about to explode on the spot.

Di Jiang stood in the hot soup that was nearly knee-deep, completely naked.

No clothes, no swimming trunks.

Xu Ran's mind went blank.

According to the standard in the novel, Di Jiang "smiled evilly" and left Tangchi with his legs lifted.

Xu Ran took two steps back.

"You, you...how do you..."

Di Jiang tilted his head and answered innocently: "Not wearing swimming trunks?"

He then asked himself and answered: "Because I only brought one pair of swimming trunks, but in order not to embarrass you, I said I brought two and I gave you the pants."

Xu Ran suddenly felt a little hot in his hands, and Di Jiang was still approaching him terribly. Xu Ran's eyes drifted, and he could only fix his eyes on Di Jiang's feet, watching him approaching step by step, leaving a string of wet footprints.

Footprints landed on the wooden floor, but his eyes were automatically replaying the scene he had just glimpsed.If Xu Ran's brain is a computer, then it should be in a state of being infected with a virus and constantly crashing and restarting.

"Back to you."

After saying these three difficult words, the man had already walked in front of him.

Xu Ran's head hangs on his chest, like a child who has made a mistake.

The heat source was close to the cheeks, the hairs on the skin stood up, and there was a "humming" in the brain.

Di Jiang whispered in his ear: "You are right, but all of this is based on one foundation."

Like a cup of deadly poisonous wine emitting fragrance, Xu Ran resisted but couldn't control himself, wanting to get closer and absorb more heat.The man's voice pierced through the miasma, pierced his eardrums, and destroyed all his resistance.

Xu Ran turned his head sideways, collided with the man's black pupils, and fell into it and couldn't pull it out again.

The breath stayed in a distant place, but the breath of this person really surrounded him.

Dijiang is like a poisonous snake grinding its teeth at its prey, showing off its most beautiful patterns and wagging its tail to its fullest.

"The premise is that I am a good monster."

This soft sound was infinitely magnified by the overly silent air.

The hypnotic spell was over, and the oxygen surged in like a rising tide, Xu Ran's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't help taking a big step back.

Di Jiang smiled.

"Are you scared?"

Xu Ran covered his heart and looked at him blankly.

Di Jiang touched his cold face: "Don't be afraid, go back."

Walked out of Di Jiang's room, but the soul stayed inside the door.

The empty doorway regained its coolness.

After a while, Di Jiang let out a distressed "tsk".

Unexpectedly, he was a bit reluctant to let go. Sure enough, his heart was softer when he was older?

The author has something to say:

Well, good Monday^^
