The night is oppressive and dark, covered with layers of dark clouds, so close that it seems to be within reach, the rain is almost connected into a line, blown in a mess by the strong wind, swaying left and right.

Chen Jiu ran out only to realize that he was not wearing shoes, and he shuddered when he stepped on the cold and slippery ground. He wanted to get a piece of clothing, but the light downstairs was also very dark, so he couldn't see where the clothes were put.

Chen Jiu ran out at the fastest speed in his life, but it was a pity that this body didn't seem to be exercising often. Halfway through the run, Chen Jiu felt his chest was burning, his eyes were flickering, and the thunder was roaring in his ears... together with the sound of rain, it was almost gone.No other voices can be heard.

Chen Jiu: "System! Is Jiang Juan still on the second floor?"

His pajamas were blown up by the wind, but because they were wet from the rain, they fell down with difficulty.

The system can be called Chen Jiu's second eye, he said, "It's still there."

Chen Jiu: "Are you sure?"

System: "Based on my vision of 5.0, he is... eh? He disappeared."

Chen Jiu: "..."

That was probably coming to chase him.

Chen Jiu dared to run outside, firstly to test the rules of success in this world, and secondly because, before Dr. Qiao left, he had told him in a low voice that Chen Zhixiao had arranged for people outside, and there were not many people, but as long as Chen Jiu could come out, those people wouldThere is hope to send him away, to a safe place.

But the inexplicable Chen Jiu felt a hint of danger, that dangerous aura seemed to be by his side and never left.

That feeling prompted him to continue running outside, regardless of chest tightness and panic, but the rain outside was so heavy that he ran a few steps and felt a resistance.

Unexpectedly, the snow outside was very slippery, and Chen Jiu's running speed was forced to slow down a lot, but he was going to the iron gate soon.

Seeing that the distance from the iron gate was getting shorter and shorter, Chen Jiu's heartbeat accelerated a lot.

He gritted his teeth and ran out desperately, but his back felt cold, and a bad premonition burst out of his heart.

——Jiang Juan came after him?impossible!His speed cannot be so fast.

No matter how fast it was, it was still a thousand meters away from the second floor, and it was only a few seconds before the system told Jiang Juan to leave.

Chen Jiu's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he didn't know whether it was caused by excessive exercise or some kind of anxiety.

All in all...

Don't dare to look back.

Finally, it was only a hundred meters away from the gate.

At this moment, he couldn't relax his vigilance, Chen Jiu ran towards the iron gate regardless of the heavy rain falling on his head.

The moment Chen Jiu's fingers finally touched the door, there was a sudden force behind him.

Chen Jiu was startled, and waved his hand to get rid of the violent force, but a deep and hoarse voice came from his ear, the voice was vague in the heavy rain, but it showed a hint of restrained gloom.

"—Ajiu, I caught you."

Fall short.

The old wine was thrown heavily into the bathtub again, the light was bright, he was stabbed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, his face was covered with water, he wanted to reach out to wipe the water off his face, but the next moment, his hand was torn away.

One hand forcefully brushed away the wet bangs hanging from his forehead, and the other hand gently wiped away the rainwater on his face.

Because of the cold, Chen Jiu's complexion tended to an unhealthy cold white tone, which was extremely white under the light, and he closed his eyes tightly. Although his expression was calm, his slightly trembling eyelashes showed his heart.

I'm afraid I'm scared to death by now.

Scared, why dare to run?

The softness that rose in Jiang Juan's heart was replaced by another more inexplicable emotion.

Chen Jiu slowly opened his eyes, and the pupils of his eyes flashed with a slight watery light. Jiang Juan looked again and found that it was just the reflection of the light shining into his eyes.

Jiang Juan was able to float in the air, probably because he thought that Chen Jiu was a "human being", so he reluctantly sat on the edge of the bathtub, with one long leg resting on the ground, the other leg bent, and his arms resting on his knees, looking at Chen Jiu leisurely..

"Have you run enough?" Jiang Juan raised his eyelids.

When he spoke, his jaw line was tense, and his eyes were no longer smiling. His eyes were partially covered by his broken hair, making his attitude even colder.

Jiang Juan like this doesn't look right.

Chen Jiu tensed up and looked at him defensively.

He would rather Jiang Juan yell at him, or if they quarreled, it would be better than the current situation. Jiang Juan suddenly changed from being not stingy about expressing his emotions to being calm now, as if he was in the heartIt's like holding back some big moves.

Chen Jiu looked away: "I didn't say what game I wanted to play with you. If you let me go, I won't mention you to anyone."

Jiang Juan looked at him silently, using his eyesight as a scanning machine, and scanned Chen Jiu inch by inch from the beginning to the end, looking at his messy, rain-wet hair, those nasty eyes, and tightly pursed lips,The water in his hair fell down along the delicate and pale contours of his face, and finally slid along the line of his neck, past his Adam's apple, and finally sank into the neckline of his pajamas along his thin collarbone.

He now looks very stubborn, very bold, and at the same time very fragile, like a vase placed at the door, it will fall down with a slight touch, and it will fall to pieces.

Jiang Juan didn't want to see him shatter, but if he wanted to shatter, he could only shatter in his arms.

What Jiang Juan was thinking, Chen Jiu didn't know, but from the anger he looked at himself, there was sadness, patience in the sadness, and indulgence in the patience, Jiang Juan guessed that a movie was going on in his heart right now.Emotional drama.

He was not comfortable. The pajamas were made of cotton, and they were completely soaked at the moment. They were wet and stuck to his skin, and there was a sense of coldness. Chen Jiu couldn't help shivering.

Jiang Juan caught the slight trembling, he paused, and said, "I'll give you a chance."

Chen Jiu looked up at him.

"Before this hourglass runs out, if you can get out of this room, I will let you go." Jiang Juan raised his hand and took out an exquisite hourglass from nowhere in his hand.Opportunity."

Chen Jiu opened his eyes wide, watching Jiang Juan turn his wrist.

The countdown has begun.

Chen Jiu and Jiang Juan looked at each other for two seconds, stood up suddenly, and raised their legs to step out of the bathtub, but Jiang Juan grabbed his wrist and yanked it in his direction. Chen Jiu lost his balance and fell down.

Chen Jiu's knee fell to the ground, he frowned, stretched out his hand to push Jiang Juan away, and walked out without hesitation, Jiang Juan followed closely, and casually put the hourglass on the sink.

The fine sand fell bit by bit, at an even speed, without rush or slowness. Chen Jiu estimated the time to be two hours, but he was completely unsure about dealing with Jiang Juan, so he had to run away.

But Jiang Juan was like teasing a cat. When Chen Jiu left, he dragged him back. Chen Jiu ran again, and Jiang Juan pulled him again. He ran, he chased, and neither of them could fly.

Chen Jiu finally got angry, picked up a bottle of unknown cans, and slammed it at Jiang Juan.

"Can't you let me go? Stay here, I can only wait to die!"

Jiang Juan turned his face away, and the bottle grazed his cheek, causing a hot tingling sensation, and the scratch marks appeared on his face instantly.

Chen Jiu was stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Juan didn't turn into a transparent ghost body, but into a real shape.

Jiang Juan didn't take it seriously, he didn't even care about the scar, he stared at Chen Jiu closely, a mocking smile slipped from the corner of his mouth.

"What's so good outside? Do you still want to go back to Chen's house? If you go back, they'll just send you here again."

"I won't go back." Chen Jiu said.

"Then where can you go? It's better to stay here." Jiang Juan said, "I'm strong, and I can protect you."

"I don't want to stay with a ghost." Chen Jiu said coldly.

Chen Jiu shook off Jiang Juan's hand, and walked out quickly. When a gust of wind passed, Chen Jiu's eyes went dark, and his lips were tightly blocked.

"Jiang..." Chen Jiu was almost speechless. Jiang Juan didn't know what method he used so that he couldn't see even a glimmer of light when he opened his eyes. In the pure black field of vision, Chen Jiu panicked.He was suddenly weightless, his body suspended in the air, Chen Jiu exclaimed, and subconsciously pulled into what he could grab in front of him - the front skirt of Jiang Juan's black T-shirt.

After a few seconds, Chen Jiu realized that he was extremely annoyed.

"—You are cheating! Let me go!"

"Who said you can't cheat." Jiang Juan snorted softly, "I never said that."

He also didn't say that he was going to let the old wine go.

The unusually heavy clothes on Chen Jiu's body after absorbing water were taken off smoothly, and Jiang Juan had been unhappy watching it for a long time.

He touched the switch with his hand, and warm water flowed into the bathtub, which quickly filled the bathtub.

Regardless of Chen Jiu scratching and biting him, Jiang Juan bent down and put him in.

As soon as it was put in, Chen Jiu let out a cry.

It's too hot.

But soon, Chen Jiu realized that it wasn't that the water was hot, but that his whole body was too cold. After getting used to it, he found that the water temperature was just right.

Jiang Juan didn't give him much time to adapt, and immediately stepped into the bathtub, and the fully loaded water swayed and flowed out of the bathtub.

"Believe in a ghost, I really don't know if you are naive or naive." Jiang Juan mocked lightly, his tone was not serious, Chen Jiu was still blind, frowning to find the place where he made his voice, and tried to avoid it.

Jiang Juan didn't care about Chen Jiu's useless struggle, he even thought it was a bit cute, which dilutes the depression in his heart.

In a state of complete darkness, people usually feel uneasy, but old wine does not.

Chen Jiu once made a niche film in which he played a blind man. At that time, in order to illuminate the feeling of the blind man, he covered his eyes with a black cloth and lived a three-month blind life.

Of course, he also has someone who is always watching him by his side to make sure he doesn't get hurt.

Chen Jiu fumbled with his fingers, and the layout of the bathroom quickly appeared in his mind.

Chen Jiu: "System, always report Jiang Juan's location."

The system draws a frame in Chen Jiu's mind, the green dot is himself, and the red dot is Jiang Juan.

Chen Jiu didn't expect the system to have this function, and said pleasantly: "It seems that you still have some use for it."

System: "...Thank you."

With this picture, aging wine is more convenient.

But... why is the little red dot representing Jiang Juan motionless?what is he doing

System: "He is looking at you."

His eyes were extremely focused, as if he was thinking about where to start.

At this time, was a little lucky that Chen Jiu couldn't see it.

Chen Jiu: "Tong, can you create some incidents to attract Jiang Juan's attention?"

System: "Need points..."

Chen Jiu: "Knock, buckle."

Jiang Juan can cheat, so can he.

The steam was dense, and the warm water splashed all over the ground. The warm water suddenly became hot. Jiang Juan frowned and turned to press the switch. Chen Jiu took this opportunity to get up.

It was cold and he had no clothes on.

Chen Jiu "panicked and didn't choose his way", groping for the wall and rushing out with precision and acting skills along the way.

The switch seemed to be broken, and the hot water couldn't stop flowing. Jiang Juan managed to get the switch off, and Chen Jiu was about to run out.

Jiang Juan's eyes darkened.

Chen Jiu was caught again, and he had no love in his life.

Comparing speed between man and ghost is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Jiang Juan didn't carry him into the bathtub this time, he pressed the old wine against the wall: "You want to run so much? Then you run one more now."

Chen Jiu gasped, and subconsciously raised his head, revealing his fragile neck.

Jiang Juan narrowed his eyes slightly, poked his head over, and took a hard bite there. The old wine was painful, and the next second, the wound was gently sucked a few times, like anesthesia after an injection, defenseless and unexpected.expected.

Tender traps are always the hardest to resist.

The old wine almost melted into Jiang Juan's tenderness, and when Jiang Juan put him into the water again, he didn't notice it.

He was half-kneeling in the hard and warm pool, his shoulder blades were smooth, flawless milky white, with a jade luster, and the surrounding water swayed and swayed, creating ambiguous ripples.

The sand in the hourglass is almost running out.

This time, Chen Jiu was destined to lose.

Chen Jiu was almost falling asleep when he sneezed suddenly.Jiang Juan felt that they had stayed here for too long, so he took a big bath towel and wrapped Chen Jiu around his body, picked him up and walked out of the bathroom.

Jiang Juan was in a very good mood, even the rain outside the window looked so pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Juan stepped out of the bathroom.

Chen Jiu opened his eyes, his eyes were clear.

"You lost." Chen Jiu said, "Let me go."

His face was still pink after exercising, and his breath was thin, like a kitten's claws counterattacking gently.

Surprise flashed in Jiang Juan's eyes.

Chen Jiu raised his hand, and the hourglass suddenly appeared in his hand.

The fine sand is still about one-fifth in shape, and it is falling slowly and at a constant speed.

Not finished.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Juan smiled.

"When did you regain your sight?"

Chen Jiu said: "Just now."

It is true that Chen Jiu can't see the hourglass, and he doesn't know how much time is left, but he has the invincible cheating device of the system.

From beginning to end, aged wine is the dominant player in this game.

"Ah Jiu, I really like you more and more." Jiang Juan's expression changed, he picked up the hourglass in Chen Jiu's hand, and tossed it casually, the hourglass turned upside down immediately, and restarted the timer.

"But it's a pity that I never said that I can't go back on my word."

Jiang Juan has never cared about public order and good customs, and he is not a good person. He only knows that what he wants should be held tightly in his palm.

Chen Jiu was not surprised by Jiang Juan's repentance. Jiang Juan played games with him again and again, not to let him go at all, but to let him find his own insignificance in the game. The more so, the easier it is to hit him.to the heart of man.

"Didn't you," Chen Jiu said slightly, "read a lot of books about psychology?"

There are many kinds of books in the study room next door, covering everything from humanities and social sciences, naturally including books of this type.

Jiang Juan shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal: "I just read it casually before, and what was said in the book does make sense." He raised Chen Jiu's chin, forcing him to look at him. In those extremely beautiful eyes,But there is no sign of being conquered.

"...But I have to say that human beings are a complex creature." Jiang Juan said slowly, "You can't study them thoroughly just by reading a few books."

"You are human too." Chen Jiu pointed out this.

"Who knows?" Jiang Juan said with a smile, "I just know that you lied to me just now, and I'm very angry."

"So next, I can't let you have a good rest."

——

When Chen Jiu woke up this time, he had already seen the sunset in the afternoon.

He was sore all over, as if he had been beaten hard by someone, ran a kilometer exhausted, and then did various aerobic exercises, the most real muscle feeling.

Simply put, it is a paralyzed patient who cannot take care of himself.

Jiang Juan was indeed very angry this time.

Chen Jiu ran away again and again, and the arrogant ghost who had never been disobeyed by others naturally couldn't bear it, but he couldn't do anything to Chen Jiu, so what should do, can only change another way.

After tossing the old wine for a long time, he put the old wine to sleep when it was almost dawn. Jiang Juan looked at the faint outline of the sun in the sky, and felt that something was missing in his hand for some reason.

If Jiang Juan was still alive, he would probably know that it was called "Aftermath Smoke".

But Jiang Juan didn't understand this situation at all, so he wandered around the room depressed, only to bump into a sneaky kid who didn't know what he was doing.

The little ghost was holding something in his hand and was writing furiously. He was obviously so concentrated that he didn't notice Jiang Juan with a gloomy face behind him.

Jiang Juan: "What are you doing?"

Just as Jiang Juan opened his mouth, the little ghost shook violently, and the pen in his hand dropped with a "snap."

Jiang Juan took out the things that the kid was holding, and read line by line, and he knew what the kid was doing.

"You betrayed me?" Jiang Juan said.

Jiang Juan's tone was not harsh, but the little ghost wailed loudly: "Me too, I don't want to either! It was that celestial master who threatened me! If I don't do it, he will make me die!"

Normally, Jiang Juan would probably say, "Then what do you think when I make you lose your soul?" But now, Jiang Juan's mood is very complicated. He really wants to show off something to others, so he tolerated the kid's overstepping very rarely.Behavior.

Jiang Juan tapped the paper and said, "I say, you write."

The kid's crying stopped immediately, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Huh?"

Jiang Juan became a little impatient: "Don't understand?"

"Listen, listen, understand!" The little ghost said immediately, compared to the distant threat from Jiang Shu, the current Jiang Juan was more difficult to deal with.

Jiang Juan pondered for a moment before speaking.

The little ghost was writing, but stopped, and said with difficulty: "My lord, do you really want to write like this?"

Jiang Juan gave him a cold sideways glance, and the little ghost immediately wrote in a swish, as if writing with spirit.

Then, Jiang Juan sent out this insignificant letter.

The little ghost had a horrible expression on his face, and he could almost imagine how the recipient would feel when he saw this letter.

Anyway, it won't be more complicated than him.

There was a faint sound at the door, Jiang Juan raised his eyebrows, and there was no one in an instant, leaving the kid alone to look at each other in the empty room.

Chen Jiu supported his waist and grinned, feeling that he had the mentality of a twenty-year-old young man, but he had the body of an elderly man in his eighties.

As soon as he got out of bed, Chen Jiu's legs went limp for a while, and he almost fell down, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.There is no other reason, just because his stomach is on fire now, and he will starve to death if he doesn't eat anything.

Chen Jiu felt that his current physical condition was very strange. He fell asleep for a moment when he was sleeping, and he couldn't remember what he had dreamed after waking up. The hunger came very quickly, but his brain and spirit were still very tired.

...Although can't tell what's wrong.

Maybe it's because of staying up too late.

Chen Jiu glanced at the countdown to survival, there were still three days left.

This time is not long, not short.

What worries Chen Jiu is the fact that he will die on the day he turns eighteen.

Obtaining Yang Qi... But there is no one in this huge house except him, where can he get Yang Qi?It can't be self-produced and sold.

A black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and Jiang Juan politely turned translucent, supporting his body.

"Why don't you take more breaks?" Jiang Juan said kindly, his tone was like the kindergarten principal Chen Jiu used to be when he was a child.

Chen Jiu was in a daze, silently glanced at Jiang Juan's youthful and handsome face, and returned to his senses.

But no matter how good-looking it is, it can't stop the sinisterness in his heart.

Chen Jiu hehe: "If you rest for a while, you will only see my dead body."

Jiang Juan was puzzled, but Chen Jiu's stomach let out a long growl in response to the occasion, and Jiang Juan understood.

"I'll cook." Jiang Juan said.

Chen Jiu pointed out the window, the sky was already white: "It's daytime now, can you go out?"

Jiang Juan: "..."

Jiang Juan not only couldn't go out, he had to go back to the mirror to catch up on sleep.

If this is summed up in human words, it is "a scumbag who eats and runs away".

Jiang Juan had never heard of this word, but he vaguely felt that his conscience was disturbed.

Chen Jiu waved his hand impatiently: "Go ahead, I will do it myself."

"But you can't stand still now..." Jiang Juan was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered that the main reason for Chen Jiu's unsteady standing was him, so he shut up just right, and resentfully said under Chen Jiu's sharp eyesinto the mirror.

Chen Jiu walked into the kitchen slowly, made some simple quick dishes, devoured them hungrily, then slowly put on his outwear, and slowly... walked out.

This time, Chen Jiu completely lost the embarrassment of running in the rain that night. He walked out of the house step by step, crossed the road, and then came to the gate, took out the key, and opened the door.

When Jiang Shu left, he left the key to him, which was in the TV cabinet in the living room.

Chen Jiu always watched TV, so Jiang Juan didn't feel that something was wrong.

With a "snap", the lock was unlocked, a ray of bright sunlight came in, Chen Jiu stepped up and walked out.

He can finally say goodbye to the ancient house that has been sleepy for half a month.

Sure enough, there were people outside who came to meet him, and they were very low-key. They all painted camouflage on their faces and hid in the shade outside the door. If the person hadn't come out on his own initiative, Chen Jiu would not have noticed that he was still hiding in the cornerpeople.

"Heavenly King Gaidihu?" Chen Jiu gave a secret signal.

The man responded calmly: "I slept well."

Chen Jiu nodded: "Let's go."

Since he belonged to Chen Zhixiao's faction, Chen Jiu was very relieved.

Sitting in the car, Chen Jiu's sense of security overwhelmed his heart, heavy drowsiness invaded his brain, Chen Jiu closed his eyes with the shaking of the car.

Opening his eyes again, Chen Jiu found that he was already in a room. The room was decorated very warmly, probably Chen Zhixiao prepared it for him...

Chen Jiu looked at the person who walked in, in disbelief.

"Butler Jiang, why are you here?"

The author has something to say:

There is one more today
