It was almost one o'clock in the morning.

Nan Yucheng turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

At ten o'clock, he was so sleepy that he felt like he could fall asleep, but now he found it difficult to fall asleep.

Wen Hanli, on the other hand, fell asleep quickly, with an attitude of being content with whatever happened.

Qin Jiheng didn't seem to care much before, but he was obviously still thinking about what happened today, and he didn't fall asleep.

The sound of the handle being knocked came from the living room, and Shao Cong didn't know how long he would fight.

However, this effectively covered up the sound made by the bed because of Nan Yucheng's tossing and turning, making him appear less embarrassed.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Nan Yucheng turned over twice, leaned on the pillow and looked at Qin Jiheng on the ground.

"En." In the darkness, Qin Jiheng seemed to show a smile: "Isn't this waiting for you to fall?"

"You are not afraid that I will crush you to death." Nan Yucheng heard his ridicule.

Qin Jiheng also measured it. Although one was on the bed and the other was under the bed, they were facing each other.

"Don't be afraid." Qin Jiheng smiled: "Your brother Qin is physically strong."

"Who asked if your physical strength is good." Nan Yucheng slightly adjusted his posture.

Maybe late at night is a good time to talk, especially if neither of you is feeling sleepy.

"I read a novel recently." Nan Yucheng pondered for a while before speaking slowly.

"What novel?" Qin Jiheng asked slowly, "What is it about?"

Speaking of novels, Qin Jiheng remembered the martial arts article he had read back then. The author came back and updated it later, but he was always stumped by other things and hadn't had time to read it.

"It's a fairy tale." Nan Yucheng said slowly: "It is said that there is a monster who came to the world because of the sudden loss of monster power, and lived in a human's house."

"You are not a fairy tale." Qin Jiheng retorted casually: "Are you from Liaozhai?"

"If you saw it by chance, don't worry about it so much." Nan Yucheng coughed, and continued: "The monster itself just wants to stay in the human world for a while, but who knows, he finds that he has a little liking for humans."

"En." Qin Jiheng responded, indicating that he was listening.

In the darkness, the distance between the two seemed to be getting closer invisibly.

Nan Yucheng's voice was very low, almost a whisper.Although Qin Jiheng was lying on the ground, he could feel his warm breath falling on his face, which was a little itchy.

"The monster doesn't know what to do." Nan Yucheng brought his own situation into it: "He doesn't know whether he wants to stay or not, but he only has one chance to choose. If he chooses human beings, he will never have There is no way to return to the demon world. If he chooses to leave, he will never see this person again."

"And then?" Qin Jiheng asked softly.

"The novel will be updated here." Nan Yucheng lowered his eyes: "I'm just a little curious. If it were you, how would you choose?"

"Why are you suddenly curious about this?" Qin Jiheng asked with a smile.

Nan Yucheng used a smile to cover up his wildly fluctuating heart: "Who knows, it may be too late, and I will think of some messy things."

"Well." Qin Jiheng held the quilt tightly with his hands, but his tone was very relaxed: "It seems that if we are together in the future, I have to prepare a bedtime story for you every night."

"You really know how to dream." Nan Yucheng resisted the urge to beat him up.

"Tell me casually." Qin Jiheng said casually.

Before Nan Yucheng completely exploded, he brought the topic back to the main topic again, and asked casually: "Does that human like monsters?"

"I like it." When Nan Yucheng said this, he felt a little hot on his face: "He liked monsters first."

"Does he particularly like monsters? To what extent?" Qin Jiheng asked again.

"Just..." Nan Yucheng took a deep breath: "I really like it."

After a pause, he added: "The story is written from the perspective of a monster. He actually doesn't know what humans really think, but he still believes in humans."

"What do you believe?" Qin Jiheng didn't know whether it was intentional or not.

Nan Yucheng didn't know why, his mouth seemed to be stuck, and it took him a long time to finish this sentence: "I believe he likes him very much!"

"Oh——" Qin Jiheng dragged the end of his voice, and Nan Yucheng vaguely felt that he seemed a little happier than before.

"What are you doing?" Nan Yucheng was a little annoyed. His story was about himself and Qin Jiheng. Now that Qin Jiheng is asking this question, it seems that he wants to cut his heart out to others. .

Although this is indeed one of his goals.

"I'm just asking." Qin Jiheng relaxed his grip on the quilt, and he slightly bent his mouth: "I need to know a little more information before I can make a judgment."

Nan Yucheng nodded reluctantly: "Okay, then do you have anything else to ask?"

"Is there only one choice? Is there no other chance to turn around?"

"No."

"Are monsters happy in the human world?"

"well enough."

Qin Jiheng asked a few more questions in a row, and finally asked softly: "What does a monster... look like in his own world?"

Nan Yucheng was silent.

He recalled his past life.

In fact, if you want to say that it is particularly miserable, it is not that you have a particularly bad life.

Just an ordinary person who is struggling to get enough food and clothing. In a big city, there are hundreds if not thousands of people of this type.

Nan Yucheng didn't feel sorry for himself, but his life at that time was indeed much more difficult than it is now.

In the world of this novel, although he does not have a pair of parents who love him very much, he is not lacking in material things.

The spiritual level is also filled by everyone from Qin Jiheng and Yanbei, so that Nanyu City rarely feels that he is alone, an outsider, and lonely except when he first crossed.

After he was quiet for a long time, he said, "Maybe it's nothing special."

"Ok?"

"There are many happy things and happy days, but monsters don't have a good life in the demon world." Nan Yucheng's voice trembled slightly, and he controlled himself not to be too substituting. Qin Jiheng saw it: "He is a The orphan, who has been suffering since he was a child, has been busy in the demon world, but he is actually a very ordinary, boring little monster."

"Really?" Qin Jiheng whispered: "Then... Maybe it's good to stay."

"Do you think so?" Nan Yucheng said in a hurry: "There are many good things in the human world. He doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat enough and sleep well, and there are human beings by his side. But the demon world..."

"That's his home after all..."

Qin Jiheng closed his eyes.

He was more sensitive than Nan Yucheng thought. Even though Nan Yucheng tried his best to cover up, he still found something wrong with Nan Yucheng from the details.

If it was half a year ago, someone asked Qin Jiheng the same question.

He will definitely feel that love is tantamount to letting go, and it would be nice to see him happy.

But at this moment, Qin Jiheng realized that love is selfish.

If everything Nan Yucheng said is true, then Qin Jiheng is the human being who wants to make monsters abandon everything and stay by his side...

Then Qin Jiheng felt that there was nothing wrong with being selfish.

He just wanted him to stay.

Since the world of monsters is not beautiful, why not choose to stay?

He didn't want to be separated from Nan Yucheng at all, and he felt scared when he thought about it in that direction.

But he seemed to have no position to force Nan Yucheng to stay.

"But where there are people, there is a home." For the first time, Qin Jiheng felt that he had no confidence in speaking: "If there is no one, how can you talk about it? Since the monster is also a person in the demon world, at least there are people in the world." Humans are with him... aren't they?"

"That's right." Nan Yucheng didn't expect him to hit the nail on the head.

In that world, apart from the black lines drawn on the walls of rental houses and the photos on the walls of outstanding students in universities, what else is there that belongs to me.

It's quite sad to say that, after working hard for more than 20 years, he seems to have not been able to participate in such a wonderful world.

Just about to continue the chat, the system suddenly said: "Don't ask any more."

"Why?" Nan Yucheng was puzzled.

"If you ask again, you will reveal your truth." The system sighed and said, "Didn't you find Qin Jiheng a little strange?"

It was only then that Nan Yucheng noticed that Qin Jiheng's attitude was a little tense, and he didn't seem to be doing a daily idle chat before going to bed.

He immediately became vigilant, and quickly ended the topic: "But we still have to read the update for a few days, after all, we can't help people make decisions, right?"

"Okay." Qin Jiheng knew that he didn't want to chat anymore: "Share your novel with me too, I want to know the follow-up too."

Nan Yucheng said with a dry smile: "The author's writing style is not very good, so I won't share it with you."

Qin Jiheng didn't ask: "That's fine, you must tell me when the update comes out."

"En." Nan Yucheng nodded indiscriminately: "Okay."

He lay down in the middle of the bed a bit to cover up, and then whispered: "Then I'm asleep."

"Wait." Qin Jiheng suddenly said, "Can I ask another question?"

"What's the question?" Nan Yucheng asked cautiously.

Qin Jiheng also cautiously said: "What kind of monster is this...?"

Nan Yucheng: ...

"Does it matter?" He felt a moment of deep confusion.

Qin Jiheng affirmed: "It's very important, it has a decisive impact on the follow-up plot... For example, is this monster hungry?"

Nan Yucheng: ...

He grinned, showing some bright white teeth, and said angrily and funnyly: "Eat, he is a glutton, he can eat five in one bite."

Qin Jiheng: ...

After Nan Yucheng fell asleep, he quietly took out his mobile phone and searched for Taotie's photos.

After staring at a lot of menacing images for a while, he suddenly felt that it was very difficult to be a human being.

Literally, being a human is hard.

But... Then again, will Taotie really have a bad time in the demon world?

Anyway, in the mythology, there is also the existence of the son of the dragon, so he is not an orphan, and his life is barely enough...

But it doesn't seem right to say that, there may still be a gap between the monsters that humans know and the real monsters.

What if Taotie is not actually the leader of the four fierce beasts as in the legend, but just a poor little one who was pulled out to bear the infamy?

Qin Jiheng suddenly felt that Nan Yucheng was even more pitiful.

So, at three o'clock in the morning in Yancheng, Ms. Qin received a series of fatal calls from her son.

"You better have something to do." Ms. Qin got up from the bed.

"Good evening, do you know Taotie?" Qin Jiheng also knew that it was inappropriate for him to do so, but he really couldn't hold back.

His mother still knows a lot about this aspect, and even has a few books on monster research and other topics at home.

It is precisely because of his mother's hobby that Qin Jiheng has a strong ability to accept this.

"Good evening?" Ms. Qin squeezed out a few words between her teeth: "Good evening, I guess you are going to be ill soon."

"Please." Qin Jiheng is also good at dealing with Ms. Qin. He softened his tone and said, "Next time you go shopping, I will definitely be there on time and be your tool for the whole day."

"All right." Ms. Qin snorted and said, "What's wrong with Taotie?"

"Is it a fierce beast?" Qin Jiheng asked, "Is it very powerful?"

"The legend is very powerful, why are you suddenly interested?" Ms. Qin asked.

Qin Jiheng couldn't say that I might have gotten the truth, he just said vaguely: "Nan Yucheng told me a bedtime story, and I still can't fall asleep thinking about the Taotie in that story."

He said, and added in a serious manner: "I think there must be a destiny somewhere, otherwise why did I hear this story?"

Ms. Qin was quiet for a few seconds, and only the sound of breathing could prove that she hadn't hung up.

Finally, she smiled lightly, and said with a "friendly" and "gentle" tone, "That's it?"

Qin Jiheng: ...

Although it sounded so ridiculous that he didn't quite believe it, Qin Jiheng nodded decisively: "Yes!"

Three seconds later, there was a "beep" sound from the phone.

Qin Jiheng's call was hung up mercilessly.

Qin Jiheng: ...

So is Nanyu City gluttonous?

Early the next morning, several students who stayed up all night slept until almost noon before waking up.

Wen Hanli was the first to fall asleep, and also the first to wake up. When the others walked into the kitchen, they saw the brunch he had prepared.

Qin Jiheng obviously went to bed earlier than Shao Cong, but he was not as stable as Shao Cong.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at the bedside, as if he was worried that Nan Yucheng had really turned into a monster and left.

After confirming that Nan Yucheng was still lying down, he was relieved.

But there was still a lot of depression in his heart. He felt that he seemed to know some terrible secret, but he didn't have the ability to stop the other party.

Qin Jiheng's life can be regarded as going smoothly, and it is the first time he feels so powerless.

I like you, but you have a home elsewhere.

What should be done.

But fortunately, Qin Jiheng is not a person who is easy to get into a dead end.

He quickly enlightened himself, at least now he opened the door to the secret of Nanyu City, and the person he wanted to catch was still in front of him.

Everything is still in time.

If he worked hard enough, he would not be able to make Nan Yucheng stay.

Then maybe they are really not suitable.

However, Qin Jiheng is not pessimistic about the future.

Because it's like what he said to Tan Mei on the sports field.

No matter whether God gives this opportunity or not, he will never give up.

For the boy he likes.

Nan Yucheng is not as much as Qin Jiheng thought.

This problem has been in his mind for a long time, long past the time when he would not be able to sleep because of it.

As soon as he woke up, he completely forgot yesterday's conversation, and when he saw Qin Jiheng's appearance, he said, "Did you get beaten up in your dream?"

Qin Jiheng smiled and said, "I was exhausted after being chased by a glutton all night."

Nan Yucheng: ...

It took him a long time to remember that he told Qin Jiheng that he was Taotie.

Resolutely brought up this topic, he pretended he didn't hear anything, and started planning today: "What are we doing today?"

Wen Hanli said: "Buy some decorations, Christmas, which only comes once a year, can't just go by like this."

"Okay." Nan Yucheng agreed.

This day was extremely busy, so busy that Nan Yucheng himself forgot the time, and Qin Jiheng didn't think about what happened last night.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that everyone finally had a chance to breathe. There was a freshly cooked turkey on the table, and when several people got together, they finally had a rest.

Today is a very busy day, but it is also very fulfilling, and it feels like a festival.

Nan Yucheng still enjoyed this feeling very much, he poured Coke for everyone.

In order to make this festival more festive, everyone bought a Christmas tree and put it at home.

Because Christmas only comes once a year, this tree is not usually used, so Nan Yucheng chose to buy a small tree that only reached his hip bone, and used it symbolically.

Everyone prepared three gifts, which were given to the other three people except themselves.These presents are big and small, and the tree is almost buried under the foot of the Christmas tree.

Christmas animations were broadcast on the TV. The characters in it sang and danced for a while, were funny for a while, and sensational for a while, which set off the atmosphere very well.

Under the melodious music, Nan Yucheng took a sip of Coca-Cola and another sip of turkey, feeling that the days are quite nourishing.

Looking at Nan Yucheng's attitude, Qin Jiheng suddenly felt relieved.

Since Nanyucheng is not sure whether to stay or not, he might as well use his own way to make Nanyucheng like it more. In this way, if Nanyucheng really chooses to stay in the future, he will not regret it.

In fact, whether Nan Yucheng is a monster or not is still uncertain.

But there must be a reason for the other party to tell a story for no reason, even if it is not a monster, it is probably facing the same problem.

He thought, broke off a chicken leg and put it in Nan Yucheng's hand: "Eat it."

"Okay." Nan Yucheng nodded, narrowed his eyes, and looked very happy: "This turkey is really delicious."

Shao Cong also nodded: "It's just that the amount is a bit small, not enough for me."

Wen Hanli smiled: "I will make it for you when I have a chance. I am quite good at cooking."

"Cowhide!" Nan Yucheng stretched out his hand and gave him a 6.

The movie gradually reached its climax, and the people who were chatting with each other just now began to focus on the screen on the TV.

Nan Yucheng took out a blanket from the bedroom and wrapped it up. He was not interested in movies, but looking at the red blanket, he still felt that the atmosphere of Christmas was stronger.

While he was enjoying the good time, Qin Jiheng suddenly lifted his blanket and got in.

Nan Yucheng:?

He shrank a little to the side, trying to snatch the quilt back.

"I feel a little cold." Qin Jiheng was confident, and then grabbed Nan Yucheng's hand under the quilt.

"What are you going to do?" Nan Yucheng subconsciously wanted to break free, and his tone was not very good.

Qin Jiheng answered irrelevantly: "I didn't ask you yesterday, what about monsters, do monsters really like that human being?"

"I don't know." Nan Yucheng even forgot to resist all of a sudden, and let Qin Jiheng hold his hand.

"Didn't you say that the story is told from the perspective of monsters?" Qin Jiheng was not dismissed by him, but continued to ask: "Then the author should have made it very clear, right?"

"No, the author didn't write that way at all." Nan Yucheng tried to remain calm: "That monster doesn't know himself, he doesn't know whether he likes humans that much."

"Oh, really." Qin Jiheng bent his lips: "But I don't think so, I think the author has written it very clearly."

"Where is it clear?" Nan Yucheng retorted somewhat unconvinced.

"Look, if this monster liked humans less than his hometown, he wouldn't be so entangled." Qin Jiheng said slowly, with a light in his eyes: "It's precisely because the monster already likes humans so much that he loves them." The extent of everything in his hometown, so he doesn't know how to choose."

Nan Yucheng: ...

He didn't know how to refute for a while.

What Qin Jiheng said was right or wrong, but at this moment, the wrong part of the logic seemed to be hidden by him.

Only the right part is left telling him that you already like him a lot.

"So what." Nan Yucheng looked away, looked at the TV, and whispered, "It's not like he can't make a decision."

"I think that as long as human beings can make monsters like him a little more, monsters will stay." Qin Jiheng smiled brightly, not at all sluggish when he first woke up in the morning: "As you said, he really, really likes monsters , so I will definitely work hard in that direction.”

Nan Yucheng's ears turned red a little.

He pretended not to hear and slid himself into the blanket.

As a result, as soon as he lowered his head, he found that he was still holding hands with Qin Jiheng's five fingers.

The two of them held each other together, and they seemed to fit perfectly.

Maybe right now.

Monsters already like humans a little more.

The author has something to say: Humph: Do not run away, monsters!I'm really not a nice person!
