my contract husband

Chapter 9 Don't Leave Me

The clock in the living room rang, and I was startled by the bang. The full moon hung high outside the window. It was already past the Ghost Festival and it was fifteen.

According to the lunar calendar, July [-]th, there are six days before the gate of ghosts closes.

I turned around and walked out of the kitchen, but there was a strange sound in my ear, as if it came from the window, very similar to the sound of an electric shock!
Startled, I turned around and looked over——

Outside the window, there is Gu Qingchen who is looking at me with a frown and puzzlement.

There were still sparks of indigo blue on his body, and his face was very pale, presumably it was some formation formed by the Taoist just now that stopped him.He opened his mouth to say something, but I couldn't hear a word. The mouth shape seemed to say "why" and "I hurt so much".

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly turned around.

Sorry, Gu Qingchen, I can't be with a ghost.

Having made up my mind to go, I walked out quickly, regardless of the scorching hot eyes behind me, and closed the kitchen door!After a while it was determined that he couldn't come in, so I went to take a bath. Amid the sound of running water, I kept taking deep breaths and told myself that people and ghosts have different paths, and I can't show mercy.

Half an hour later, I was lying on the bed wrapped in a big bath towel, but I was a little worried, wondering if he was still outside.

There was a smell of cinnabar and blood. It was the compass left by the Taoist beside the pillow.

In six days, it will be over, back to my old life—

"Crack..." "Beep—"

"Snapped!"

"Boom! Boom! Beep..."

I closed my eyes, but I didn't want the sound of formation barriers being collided to come from my ears. I covered my head with a quilt, but the sound seemed to have penetrated into my mind, and it was still in my ears!His almost transparent body and his cautious expression towards me also appeared in front of my eyes.He is so afraid of pain, but he keeps hitting the barrier!

And there was a man who lied to me by saying he wouldn’t make me sad... It’s not for comparison, but he was really moved. Although he is a ghost, he did not harm me, but saved me. Me, the ghost who loves me deeply.

Maybe, I shouldn't be so heartless.

His voice couldn't come in, but I could hear the sound of the enchantment being hit clearly. The sound of the impact was getting louder and louder. I really couldn't bear to let him smash into pieces like this. When I lifted the quilt and rushed to the door Suddenly, the door opened a crack by itself, but I was in a hurry, but I didn't notice it.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning flashed outside, and the night sky was full of dark clouds just now when the moon was full and clear.I saw Gu Qingchen through the cat's eyes, he kept hitting the barrier with his body, his face was as pale as paper, and there were traces of blood on the corner of his mouth.

The heavy rain kept pouring down, but it was transparent, but the rain kept breaking him up, and I saw that it became more and more transparent.

The door... as soon as it is opened, the barrier will be broken. I held my hand on the doorknob, trembling, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, another person came faintly outside the barrier, I got closer and I saw it.

It's Gu Shenglan.

Holding the black umbrella in one hand, he opened the jade box coldly with the other.

"No, don't—" Gu Qingchen shook his head and ran towards me. It was very strange that I could hear his voice, which I couldn't just now.

"A Li! Ah Li, don't want me——A Li..." He said loudly while running towards me. His figure was a bit scattered, as if he couldn't get together. My heart felt like a knife was twisted. It hurts.

After all, he was no match for the suction of the jade box in Gu Shenglan's hand, and was sucked in again.

The jade box closed by itself, Gu Shenglan raised his head and looked towards me, his face was expressionless, but I felt that he saw me, but he didn't say or do anything, turned around and walked away as proudly as always .

I was relieved when his figure gradually disappeared in the rain.

Turning around and walking back for less than two steps, the door behind him was slowly blown open by the wind.

"Squeak——" accompanied by the sound of rain, flashing by lightning, and the subsequent "rumbling" thunder, I seemed to be struck by lightning, and my extremely stiff body exerted a lot of strength Turning around slowly-

The door... opened.

When did it open?
I'm sure it wasn't me.

"Crack—rumble rumble."

Another flash of lightning pierced the sky, and a gust of evil wind slammed the door shut!At that moment, the sound of thunder and rain became quieter, and I heard myself exhaling, wheezing.

In the room, the silence was terrifying.
