Undead Journal

Chapter 15

Sunny January 1th in the Age of the Undead

Because the last time I jumped into the mirror to help Mr. Watering Can block the reincarnation, I wasted too much, and then I struggled to see Li Yingnian, and I fell asleep for a year.

Of course, this is what Yu Shao told me later, so I just opened and closed my eyes, so now this is the No. 13 day when I regain consciousness.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I asked Mr. Yushao how Mr. Watering Can was, and whether Li Yingnian had followed my advice and decided to implement the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water.

Yu Shao didn't say anything, just showed me the mirror.

In the mirror, the watering can finally returned to its original appearance, dressed like a social elite, not haggard, but not even a trace of tenderness, with a usual expressionless face.

After a while, the teacher... that is, Li Yingnian came over, and then Mr. Watering Can got up and went to the dining room with him. Two dishes and one soup were already placed on the table. So Li Yingnian was asking him to eat just now?

Seeing Mr. Watering Can start, I felt a little melancholy for a moment, and it turned out that my position was not irreplaceable.

And a year has passed, has this year been subtle enough to let Li Yingnian completely take my place?

Thinking that it was no longer me who was looking at the sun side by side with Mr. Watering Can, and it was no longer me who Mr. Watering Can was trying to help him become a new person, and my heart ached.

That's all right, though, as long as Mr. Watering Can is doing well.

I stared at the face of the person in the mirror obsessively, capturing his every subtle expression.

When I watched Mr. Watering Can eat before, although he was often expressionless, occasionally there would still be a hint of a smile leaking from his eyes.What I have to do now is to catch that trace of a smile. If I catch it, it will prove that Mr. Watering Can is doing well now, Li Yingnian has indeed replaced me, and then I can retire.

Mr. Watering Can remained expressionless for a long time, and I was both relieved and anxious. I began to wonder if Li Yingnian’s cooking skills were really bad. Suddenly, Mr. Watering Can tilted his head slightly and quickly glanced in one direction, and then, A long-lost smile leaked from the corner of his eyes.

At this moment, tears welled up in my eyes. Did Mr. Watering Can turn his back on me because of my plan? Is it true that I don’t need to show up again, what I said before let him cut off the last trace of his thoughts about me...Actually There is no such last thought at all.

To Mr. Watering Can, I was just a passer-by in his life. The time we spent together was only seven days, strictly speaking, not even 168 hours.

168 hours, compared to a whole year, is too much.

I fondled Mr. Watering Can's face on the mirror with nostalgia, and wanted to give up, but I couldn't bear it.

"I want to see him one more time, just one more time."

I said to Young Master Yu in a low voice.

Young Master Yu looked at me with a wry smile: "You know, as long as your life is not in danger, I can hardly refuse your request."

The time was set in the dead of night, and I wanted to see Mr. Watering Can, but I didn't want Mr. Watering Can to see me, so naturally I chose a time when he was fast asleep.

When I arrived in front of the building, I hesitated again. Is the emotion that arises spontaneously called the feeling of being close to home?

While hesitating, I heard someone calling out uncertainly: "Senior?"

I followed the sound, and it turned out to be Xiaopingtou, the one I met a year ago, and the only one I had a relationship with Mr. Watering Can.

"do you remember me?"

I asked in a daze, if he still remembers, has Mr. Watering Can not forgotten?

Xiao Pingtou showed an expression of surprise and joy: "It really is senior... I thought you were... gone."

"what!"

I was at a loss, and then I remembered that the things that happened at the watering can house that day were probably seen by the ghosts stranded in these buildings.

Then they thought it was normal for me to die.

Xiao Pingtou quickly showed an apologetic look on his face again: "Senior, it's not that I refused to save you at that time, that teacher..."

I nodded understandingly, not to mention that we have never met before, even if we have a good friendship, one more him is just one more dead ghost.

"But I have helped you watch your lover."

Xiaopingtou said again quickly.

"what!"

I'm at a loss again.

Xiaopingtou smiled: "It's that Mr. Chen who lived with you before. That day you went all out to protect him, so I realized that you have a very close relationship... Don't worry, he never succeeded with that teacher, Mr. Chen was just playing tricks with him... ...He also asked me about you. That day I hid in Loujue and watched him secretly, but he stopped me. He asked me if I didn't know where you were. At that time, I thought you were...but I didn't dare tell him."

"what!"

This time I was shocked.

Mr. Watering Can actually gave up his own principle of turning a blind eye to ghosts for me!

But what happened to the momentary smile I saw when he was eating?

That smile was obviously not fake.

Suddenly, Xiaopingtou seemed to think of something again, and said hastily: "Are you coming back to see your lover? It just so happens that the teacher is not here today."

I know this, Young Master Yu dismissed him beforehand and let me come back.

But, what did I do to make this little crewhead so enthusiastic about me, and help me "watch" Mr. Watering Can?

I lowered my head and said to him carefully: "I know a celestial master, if you want, I can ask him to save you."

For such a small matter, Young Master Yu should not refuse to help.

Fortunately, I already owe him enough, and I am not afraid to owe him more.

Xiaoping took a while to understand what I meant. He smiled: "Senior, you don't need to take these small things to heart. You have helped me enough before. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have been out of my wits."

I stared at him blankly. Back then, helping him avoid the sun was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect him to take it to heart like this, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

Xiaopingtou smiled and said to me again: "As for the matter of passing away, let him let it go. I am still staying here, which shows that I still don't want to leave. Maybe when I want to leave, I will leave myself alone." It's overdone."

This is the truth, I can't force it anymore.

"Senior, hurry up and see Mr. Chen."

After Xiaopingtou said this, he disappeared in the darkness, and I finally mustered up the courage to sneak into the building.

After being a ghost for long enough, I can finally pass through walls, so even without a key, I managed to get to Mr. Watering Can.

That big bed once let me sleep side by side with Mr. Watering Can for seven days, and now Mr. Watering Can is still sleeping on one side as before, leaving a considerable space.

Are you remembering me?

Or stay for Li Yingnian?

I don't know, a year has passed between closing and opening my eyes, and my Mr. Watering Can has left me with too much blank space.

Is he still my Mr. Watering Can?

I reached out tremblingly, trying to touch Mr. Watering Can's long-lost face, but finally stopped a nanometer away.

I used to be reluctant to let Mr. Watering Can tremble because of me, but now how can I.

So, that's good, isn't it?

Come quietly, and go quietly.

I sadly wanted to withdraw my hand, but the next moment someone grabbed my wrist tightly.
