Chapter 47 Specter + Anubis.6
Chapter 47 Specter + Anubis.6
Look at the words!
The address of the coffee shop is surprisingly close to their home, and it takes only ten minutes by taxi, and it can be reached directly by bus or subway.
This is a small store in the downtown area, with two floors, the store door and the outermost store wall are made of glass, with custom stickers such as business hours on it.
There is a pot of hydrangea in full bloom at the door, and in another flower pot next to it, vines are entangled, climbing up the flower stand, and even meandering to the electric pole beside it.
Fresh and natural, eye-catching, it is a shop that will stop to take a look at it when walking by the roadside, and even take pictures of it.
Luo Xi "alone" pushed the door and walked in, the ceramic wind chime on the doorknob swayed.
In order to make himself look like a normal guest, he forced himself not to look at the boyfriend standing beside him the whole time.
There was no special latte on the menu, and Roxie guessed that the existence of special latte was more like a secret.
The young man stood at the bar and stared at the menu for a while. He had to admit that even in a place like a coffee shop, he would subconsciously reject this functional drink.
Fortunately, this store does not only sell coffee.
"Please give me two...a cheesecake." After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xi chose a dessert that was acceptable.
There are no seats downstairs.
The cashier asked him if he wanted to pack it, and if he didn't pack it, he could send it to the booth upstairs for him in a while.
No matter in terms of service attitude or other aspects, this is just an ordinary coffee shop with very distinctive decoration, suitable for dating and relaxation.
At least Loxi found a little abnormality.
The only anomaly here is Xie Chuji standing next to him.
The young man was undoubtedly more inclined to pack, but the ghost had already floated to the second floor before him, so he had no choice but to take a number and follow him upstairs.
The space on the second floor is much larger. Except for the rows of seats by the window, there is a partition wall planted with dills as a partition between each table.
If this wasn't a coffee shop, and if it was involved with related organizations, Luo Xi would have liked it even more.
The strong aroma of freshly brewed coffee upstairs has faded a lot, and the ghost has already sat down in the most remote corner on the second floor ahead of time, waiting for him.
Luo Xi sat across from him, set up the number plate, and after repeated confirmation that no one was paying attention to this place, he whispered, "This place seems to be no different from other coffee shops."
There was a bit of involuntary complaint in his tone.
There is still a difference, but it is hidden behind the wall, where the naked eye cannot directly see.
"There's an office below." The ghost's voice also subconsciously subconsciously lowered, "The door is inside the kitchen."
Luo Xi carefully recalled the structure of this store, as well as other stores around, and came to the conclusion: "It must be crowded inside."
"There is only one table and one computer." Ghost nodded.
He stood up directly from his seat and stretched out his hand to Luo Xi, "They won't notice."
"I'll take you in to have a look."
Luo Xi struggled for a moment, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and put his hands on her boyfriend's palm.
A cold feeling spread from the place where the skin touched, first the hands, then the upper body, and he felt that his whole body was covered by an invisible layer.
It seems to be quite transparent, and there is no smell of coffee.
The young man tentatively touched the hanging leaves of the green radish, and passed his fingers directly through the leaves without touching anything.
"Wow." He couldn't help but let out a low voice, "Chuji, am I also a ghost now?"
"Only temporarily." The real ghost replied, and demonstrated how to go downstairs more quickly.
He went straight across the floor.
Staring at the floor where his boyfriend disappeared, the young man hesitated for a while, deep in his heart he still felt that he would either get stuck, or fall directly due to his inexperience.
He still chooses the stairs.
Luo Xi floated down the stairs slowly, and found that his speed was slower than walking on two legs—floating too cautiously.
"Chuji, if there is a sudden strong wind outside now, will we be blown away?"
Before formally trying to penetrate the wall, the young man asked this nonsensical question in an inexplicably serious tone.
The ghost answered him with the same seriousness: "The wind can be felt, but the magnetic field is not the same as we are now, and it will pass directly through us."
"Then..." Luo Xi still wanted to ask, but he didn't notice that he was already embedded in the wall and entered the office hidden behind the bar.
It's really small and crowded.
All kinds of papers are densely pasted on the walls, as well as printed photos, with new and old dates.
In a small space, the crackling sound of the keyboard is very clear.
"Parts of the truth need to be kept secret from ordinary people, and he's dealing with that information right now."
Xie Chuji told him what he had learned, "There are not many cases where you need to come to the door for help when encountering abnormalities. Most of the time, they are just information processors."
There is no talisman paper, no mahogany sword, eight trigrams plate and other elements.
The ordinary atmosphere in this office made Luo Xi feel that the world is a little more scientific.
"It doesn't feel much different from the average office worker."
At first, Luo Xi thought that there were no ordinary people here.
With his head down, the staff member who was concentrating on the computer screen finally stopped and yawned, "Didn't you say the shift changed at three o'clock today? Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
"I still have an appointment tonight, so I can't get stuck in time."
She stood up and poured a glass of water, completely unaware that there was another existence besides herself in this small space.
"If I had known this, I would definitely have switched shifts with Sister Zhu yesterday."
At first, the voice sounded a little familiar. After the other party stood up, Luo Xi realized that he really knew her.
The staff here is actually his former colleague from the same department.
More precisely, his former subordinates.
For a moment, Luo Xi didn't know whether he should lament how small the world was, or whether it was a trick of good fortune.
He thought that he had been completely separated from the past, and there was no extra involvement.
"Honey?"
Xie Chuji didn't recognize this passerby, and connected her with the girl who was reprimanded by her lover for crying.
He just felt that his lover's reaction just now was a bit strange.
"It's nothing." Luo Xi shook his head, and found that compared with his impression, the other party was much more mature than before, and he was not so introverted—this could be felt from the skillful complaints and complaints.
Sure enough, people are moving forward and getting better.
But Xie Chuji needed to push, or he was beckoning from an earlier place.
"Chu Ji."
The young man decided to insinuate again and ask the last time.
"Did you see me when you went to find someone who sent me that love letter?"
The young man opened his mouth completely abruptly, and the ghost didn't have any mental preparations.
"No." He subconsciously denied, "I just went to find that piece of paper, and then saw it blown into the window by the wind, and came back."
Ignoring the fact that he let the wind blow into the book specially for that piece of paper, and confessed to being rejected before that, the situation is indeed similar.
"That is, I have seen it." Luo Xi nodded, thoughtfully, "But I have no impression of this incident at all. It should be because I didn't know you at the time, so I couldn't see you."
——Actually, I just made you forget about it, because I still don’t know how to talk to you.
Ghost thought silently.
But that's actually not bad.
"At that time I..."
The young man thought about it carefully, and found that that period of time was the most inaccessible to him, when he was like a cold working machine.
He wasn't sure how much Xie Chuji had contacted him, so he was a little worried.
That kind of image is hard to make others like, because it is too rational and too mean. Whether it is work or life, it deliberately ignores many places that require emotion to understand and integrate.
"At that time..." He restructured his language, "I didn't care much about the quality of life, it was relatively difficult to approach, and my personality was a bit bad."
"But it was a long time ago."
Ghost bit his lip unconsciously, a little wanting to refute him, that he was not living a good life at all.
——The refrigerator is empty, there is nothing but coffee liquid and quick-frozen dumplings; there is no trace of fire in the kitchen, there are all kinds of instant noodles piled up, and the trash can is full of various takeaway boxes.
There are almost no clothes in the closet, and almost all things are placed in the suitcase, as if ready to leave at any time.
As for character.
He doesn't want to hear his lover use this word to describe himself, even if he has been stabbed, he doesn't think there is anything about the other party that needs to be described as "poor".
The young man sighed, thinking of the abnormality of the other party before, and the inexplicable loss, he found that he seemed to have found the correct answer.
The answer is drop.
But he didn't know what to say to make his boyfriend feel a little better and not seem so sad.
Maybe it's better to ignore this problem as if you didn't notice it, and don't think about it.
But people can't always escape, not to mention that he has been hiding things, and he doesn't take the initiative to bring up things related to the past, and he can't always be lucky and not be discovered.
"I……"
The young man still didn't know how to explain the transformation of the image before and after, "Chu Ji, if you really mind."
In fact, it doesn't matter to tell him directly, because he himself also minds, and agrees that he doesn't like his former self very much.
"I mean……"
"I don't mind."
The ghost interrupted him, feeling that if the young man was allowed to continue talking, there would be words he didn't want to hear.
"I'm just sad," he tried to explain. "You looked sad at the time, but there's nothing I can do to cheer you up."
"I have done a lot of things." Including making home appliances cook by themselves, including making that rental house "live", turning on and off the lights by itself, so it doesn't look so cold anymore.
"But none of them worked, and you didn't respond to me."
He still said it.
He didn't respond because he hadn't learned how to think with others and how to love at that time, and he didn't have the ability to do so.
Just as the young man wanted to explain, he was slightly stunned when he opened his mouth, "Chuji, why do I have no impression of you having any contact with me?"
He was acutely aware of something wrong.
The author says:
Of course it’s because I think the experience was too bad and a failure for you to remember;
Ghost thought of course.
Then, he suddenly realized that he had accidentally slipped his mouth.
——Obviously just want to refute the character problem.
"Honey, you listen to my explanation."
Because of his anxiety, he didn't realize for a moment that the well-hidden upright ears protruded from his head.
"The characteristic of ghosts is that the traces left behind will gradually disappear, and there will be a long time before we first met at that time, and the rules will automatically correct the content related to the future."
Although it was indeed him who did it, he is also innocent!
The Jackal's ears twitched.
The young man's eyes were unconsciously attracted to him.
"At first I thought that you couldn't accept the impact of the gap." Saying this, the corners of his mouth ticked upwards, "So I've been waiting for you to ask—of course, there are also subconscious reasons for wanting to avoid it."
"not like this."
"I'm just a little sad, not because I don't like you, but because I like you."
Xie Chuji wasn't sure if his statement was correct, "Sadness can't bring anything to you who was very sad at the time."
There seemed to be nothing he could do but company, but he didn't even need company, except for a moment of conversation late that night.
"Because you know how to love, but I couldn't at that time."
Luo Xi's voice was very soft, "So, I often feel that it's really great to meet you now."
Why can't I just love you?
Phantom actually doesn't quite understand.
Now that he knows how to love, it's fine as long as he loves?Even though he was very sad at that time, he still felt a sense of satisfaction.
he wants to ask.
However, Luo Xi didn't want to continue the topic. He wasn't sure if he would shed tears in front of his boyfriend - he must have suffered a lot of grievances when he came back so sad.
The young man quickly raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, as if nothing had happened to remind him.
"Also, Chuji, your ears are exposed."
