The past of Lin Qiao and Xu Mu was not complicated. Le Jing had seen many similar versions in the social news.

The infatuated woman was killed by her cheating husband and her body was thrown into the sewer. News like this happens almost every day in China, and the evil of human nature has never disappointed people. However, the subsequent development of this matter was separated from social news and transferred to the supernatural channel.

After Lin Qiao died, she turned into an evil ghost and went to avenge her husband, only to find that her husband had been tortured to death by the vengeful Xu Mu. Lin Qiao ate her husband, calmed her resentment and regained her sanity. Only then did she understand Xu Mu's feelings for her. .

From then on, Lin Qiao completely became an evil ghost raised by Xu Mu. Xu Mu works as a forensic doctor to provide Lin Qiao with enough dead human flesh to fill her stomach.

Now talking about these things, Lin Qiao was very calm. Xu Mu put his hand on hers again and showed her an affectionate smile. His eyes were so paranoid that she couldn't breathe: "I will never betray you. I will never betray you." I love you so we will be together forever.”

Lin Qiao showed a weak smile and said complicatedly: "I have never doubted this."

Le Jing looked at this scene of "two people in love" and showed a meaningful smile.

"Xu Mu." Le Jing asked suddenly: "Human life is limited after all, but Lin Qiao is different. She is an evil ghost. She can live for many years. What should you do then?"

Xu Mu held Lin Qiao's hand with great strength for a moment. If she were still a human being with flesh and blood, she might have screamed out in pain by now. The young man couldn't see the expression of Xu Mu who was looking at her, but Lin Qiao could clearly see how ferocious and angry Xu Mu's eyes were for a moment. Sometimes she had doubts about which one was the evil ghost, her or Xu Mu.

She sat there quietly, not trying to comfort Xu Mu. Le Jing's question can be said to completely express her feelings.

In order to take revenge, she gave up the opportunity to be reincarnated and turned into a devil to take revenge herself. She is not dead yet, and she relies entirely on the support of human flesh and blood. But Xu Mu is different. Although he is not a good person, he did not commit murder and he can still be reincarnated. The ending she envisioned for the two of them was that the white-haired Xu Mu was lying on the hospital bed. He might be accompanied by his wife, children, and grandchildren, or there might be no one around him. In any case, Lin Qiao would be by his side and see him off with her own eyes. of leaving. Then Lin Qiao would find an eminent monk and ask him to redeem herself. This wasn't the so-called sacrifice of love. She couldn't even figure out what her feelings were for Xu Mu. She just felt that ghosts that feed on human flesh were really disgusting. If it weren't for Xu Mu, she would have wanted to commit suicide after killing her husband.

So they will eventually part ways, but it will be far, far away for them. The only thing Lin Qiao can do is to accompany Xu Mu through this life while he is still alive, restrain him, supervise him, and guide him, not asking him to become a good person, but only asking him to become an innocent person in the legal sense.

She is the only being who can restrain Xu Mu. So he is her responsibility.

But looking at Xu Mu's expression, he was obviously not satisfied with the ending Lin Qiao had decided for the two of them.

When Xu Mu looked at Le Jing again, his expression had returned to the original calmness. He said calmly in a tone that was so calm that it made Lin Qiao's scalp tingle: "Even if I die, we will still be together." He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, his eyes brewing with obscure emotions, "A good person like Qiao Qiao can become an evil ghost. The threshold for evil ghosts is too low, isn't it?"

Lin Qiao grabbed Xu Mu's shoulders in shock and asked loudly: "What do you mean?!"

Xu Mu tilted his head, broke open Lin Qiao's hand on his shoulder and held it cherishedly. Qingjun had a smile on his face that could make a little girl who didn't know the truth blush, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I told you Yes, we will be together forever.”

Lin Qiao stared at Xu Mu, who was staring at her affectionately, and slowly, slowly shuddered. She couldn't tell that her hand was colder than Xu Mu's.

madman.

...To be able to fall in love with such a madman, she was indeed full of evil in her previous life.

"Bah, bang, bang." A burst of crisp applause made Lin Qiao's shoulders tremble. She looked in panic and saw the strange young man with a peaceful smile on his lips, applauding slowly, "It's really touching. Love." He put down his hand, his eyes flashed with a strange understanding, "Thank you for your answers, I finally understand."

Xu Mu looked at him coldly, with a fake smile on his lips: "What do you understand?"

Lin Qiao looked away in panic, feeling anxious that all her inner emotions were being seen through by the young man.

The young man raised his head slightly, his brows were calm, his eyes were as clear as a child's, "Love is such a thing." He smiled with some relief, "It's really not suitable for people like me."

"All love will be reunited. It is impermanent and difficult to last. There are many fears in this life. Life is in danger of morning dew. From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from the one you love, you will have no worries and no fear." The young man closed his eyes slightly. , with a dignified and solemn expression like a Buddha sitting on a lotus platform, watching the joys and sorrows of the world from a distance, laughing and chatting in a silly way.

Lin Qiao was stunned for a moment.

Xu Mu sneered and hugged Lin Qiao's shoulders tightly as if to prove something: "This is my choice, it's not your turn to dictate. And people who have never experienced love are not qualified to comment on love."

The young man opened his eyes, eyes as cold as stars, and looked at Xu Mu with a strange determination: "Thanks to you, I finally understand. We seem to have chosen different paths, but we are just reaching the same destination."

No matter which path they choose, it makes no difference to people like them. The ending has already been written when they were born, and there is only long and eternal loneliness waiting for them.

Schopenhauer said, one is either lonely or vulgar. Le Jing gave up love and chose loneliness, but he knew that Xu Mu would also choose loneliness in the end.

Xu Mu will one day understand that his so-called love is nothing but wishful self-indulgence. The monster can only get along with monsters, but the person he loves is an evil ghost with normal views. This is the source of all tragedies.

Le Jing didn't wait for Xu Mu's answer, he opened the car door and walked out. He turned around and looked at Xu Mu, Lin Qiao's eyes had a heart-stopping clarity and clarity.

"I live in the first house at the entrance of West Village on the outskirts of the city." The young man smiled delicately, as if he was saying a sign that would eventually come true. "I will only stay here for a month. If you want to find me, you must come early."

…

When he returned to the bookstore, there was breakfast that Keynes had prepared on the dining table, and Victor was already squatting on a high stool and waiting eagerly. Seeing Le Jing's return, Cairns brought out the freshly heated seafood porridge from the kitchen and said, "I made your favorite seafood porridge today. How do you like it?"

Victor shook his tail like a grandfather and complained dissatisfiedly: "You are finally back, I am going to starve to death!"

Le Jing was stunned for a few seconds, staring blankly at Keynes, who was wearing a blue apron, and burst out laughing.

"What's wrong?" Keynes looked at Le Jing in confusion, his pointed ears twitching uneasily a few times, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing." Le Jing barely suppressed his laughter, stretched out his hand to mess up Cairns's meticulously combed blond hair, and praised with a smile: "Our Cairns is so good."

He was wrong.

In fact, he and Xu Mu are still different.

He is luckier.

To meet a gentle monster companion like Keynes, God has treated him well.

"It looks delicious..." Victor stared at the steaming seafood porridge on the table with salivation. He swallowed hard. After all, he still didn't dare to eat secretly and looked at him eagerly. Le Jing, "Can you give me a bowl?"

Le Jing was in a good mood and hugged Victor tightly and brushed the cat's hair. Victor was so well-behaved that he didn't resist. He looked at Le Jing with watery golden eyes and said, "You have to ask Keynes about this." After all, he is the one who cooks.”

Keynes glanced at the black cat who looked at him flatteringly, and said slowly: "I can only drink one bowl."

The black cat nodded immediately.

While Keynes went to the kitchen to fill the meal, Le Jing suddenly leaned into Victor's ear and asked softly: "Victor, when was the happiest moment in your life?"

Victor glanced at him, yawned, and replied lazily: "Now."

Le Jing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and said teasingly: "This is the first time we have such a tacit understanding."

Victor chuckled and asked coolly: "Otherwise, why do you think I keep playing house with you?" The black cat raised his head, his eyes looking like an old man who was about to die, "I am already too old. It’s time to take a good rest.”

One person and one cat tacitly stopped communicating the moment Keynes walked out of the kitchen. Seeing the hot porridge Keynes was holding in his hand, Victor cheered, lively broke away from Le Jing's arms, and squatted obediently in the exclusive On his high stool, he became the lazy black cat again.

Le Jing chuckled lightly, also sat on the chair, scooped up a spoonful of seafood porridge, put it into his mouth, savored it carefully, and then gave a thumbs up to Cairns who looked at him expectantly: "It tastes great!"

Victor beside him was already purring sweetly from eating.

Keynes breathed a sigh of relief before sitting down and concentrating on breakfast.

A week later, just as Le Jing expected, Lin Qiao came to him.

Her face had a ghostly bluish white color, her eyes were frightened, and she had a kind of hysterical nervousness.

"Please help me!" She grabbed Le Jing's arm, her eyes broken and desperate, "I must stop Xu Mu, he can't make this mistake again!"

Le Jing sighed: "How do you want me to help you?"

"Kill him for me!" Lin Qiao blurted out. Then she opened her eyes wide and her shoulders shook uncontrollably, as if she was also shocked by her own thoughts.

Le Jing's eyes couldn't help but reveal deep compassion and sadness.

The flower of love, watered with blood and using corpses as fertilizer, is destined to bear only evil fruits.

Xu Mu may be smart enough, but he can't read people's hearts.

[Abnormal] and [Normal] themselves are a pair of incompatible natural enemies.

Monsters can only play with monsters. Even if they step into the world of ordinary people and begin to fall in love with the warmth of ordinary people, monsters will still be monsters after all.

The tragedy of Xu Mu is that although the person he loves is an evil ghost, he still retains the three views and conscience of a normal person. Lin Qiao's three views prevent her from transforming into a monster like Xu Mu.

When she realizes that she can't save Xu Mu, she will start thinking about how to eliminate him.

So.

So.

Love is a beautiful but useless luxury for monsters like them.

From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from the one you love, there is no worry or fear.

Even without Keynes and Victor, he would have gone on alone and proudly.

The hardest thing to learn in life is to get along with yourself. Le Jing knows this without any teacher.
