177, my hobby is pretending (5)(1/2)
"Wei Mingyan..."
Obviously, the scene in front of him should be afraid, but Wei Rou looked at the boy covering half of his face and looked at him with a smile, but she couldn't be afraid at all, and just subconsciously called his name.
Wei Mingyan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the sky outside. The dark clouds above the school seemed to have dispersed a little, and it was not that dark nearby.
"I'm leaving," he said.
Zheng Hua and Cai Momo behind him had been shocked by his previous actions, and could not move. They only watched the boy in a sweater talking to Wei Rou with his back to them.
"Give."
Wei Rou had a bottle of milk stuffed into her hand, and she took it blankly, "Where are you going?"
The boy lowered his eyes, his hands always covering half of his face, and did not answer her words, "You can protect you with this bottle."
After saying that, he stood up. From Wei Rou's perspective, he could clearly see that the young man's legs were long and straight. Even the way he walked was like some nobles he had heard from the teacher before. No matter when or in any situation, he was walking slowly and not in a hurry at all.
When Wei Mingyan's figure disappeared outside the door, Cai Momo and Zheng Hua reacted and quickly supported each other with soft legs and stood up next to Wei Rou.
"Who is that? So awesome."
"Wei Rou, is it your friend? Did he catch a ghost?"
The blood dripping from the boy's right eye appeared in Wei Rou's mind again. She tightened the milk bottle in her hand, "Yes, he is my friend."
No matter what, Wei Mingyan saved her at least.
***
The three girls packed up the mess and went back.
After this reconciliation, Cai Momo and Zheng Hua changed back to their previous relationship. They all asked for leave and attended the funeral of their relatives. Only Wei Rou and another girl were left in the dormitory. The girl had never seen anything terrible from beginning to end, and was not afraid at all. Wei Rou was sleeping in a bottle of milk, and she was not so scared.
She brought a milk bottle in and out, because she always carried a small bag on her back and no one cared about her. But every time she passed by the street light outside the dormitory, Wei Rou couldn't help but circle around it.
Late at night, she would also think of the boy who suddenly appeared and disappeared inexplicably.
Wei Rou asked her senior sister she knew for help and checked the list of students in the art department, but none of them were named Wei Mingyan.
He should be a ghost, but a good ghost, otherwise he would not help her.
Wei Rou always remembered that day. Wei Mingyan stretched out his left hand and covered half of his face on the left, preventing her from seeing the wound.
At that time, I was just concerned about shock, but the boy's face that day was inexplicably sad.
But no matter how many times Wei Rou passed by the street light, Wei Mingyan never appeared again.
She returned home on her birthday.
Wei’s father and Wei’s mother made time and the whole family celebrated her birthday well.
The dishes Wei's mother cooked were all that Wei Rou liked to eat. Wei's father even bought her a small cake from outside. The family of three sat on the table and finished eating the small cake. The parents even bought her a gift.
The red envelope was directly given by Wei Dad, while the mother of Wei gave her daughter a beautiful little dress. When Wei Rou happily changed into clothes, the three of them sat together and chatted.
Dad Wei talked about the car accident of the boss of their company. Now it is the boss's younger brother who takes over the company for the time being, but the boss's younger brother has no experience, so it's fine if he makes the company mess up, but he even drives several veterans in a row.
Mother Wei immediately asked worriedly if it would affect him. Dad Wei smiled and waved, "That's all a fight between gods and it has nothing to do with us."
"But Manager Zhang from that company was opened."
Wei Rou was peeling peanuts, and was stunned when she heard this, "Uncle Zhang?"
"Yes, isn't his daughter a junior high school classmate with Rourou? I remember that little girl liked to come to our house to play."
That was Wei Rou's best friend in junior high school, named Zhang Jing. Later, Zhang Jing wanted to go abroad with her mother. They were reluctant to leave for a long time, and they never contacted each other again. But Wei Rou still remembers that Zhang Jing's eyes were red when she left, saying that if she could come back, she would be the first to come to find her.
Mother Wei asked again if Manager Zhang was affected by Chi Yu. Dad Wei hesitated for a while before saying, "It's not true. Manager Zhang's whereabouts fell several wrong accounts, so the superior decided to open his."
Afterwards, he said casually with some confusion, "But Manager Zhang has always been meticulous. He has been in the company for more than ten years and has not made any mistakes. He doesn't know what happened these days, but he doesn't look energetic. Because of Rourou's relationship, Manager Zhang has taken good care of me. I want to bring something to see him tomorrow."
"It's time to go." Mother Wei agreed, "You go to my place to get the money later. Buy some good things tomorrow and give them to you at least have helped you."
The two of them gradually spread to bringing gifts. Wei Rou really couldn't understand, so she simply went into the house to prepare for rest.
Their family is not rich. When Wei Rou bought the house, how old was Wei Rou? The money had only enough money for Wei’s father and mother. Therefore, Wei Rou’s room was a little small, but she cleaned it up and looked quite warm.
Wei Rou was sitting at the table and was raising the things in her schoolbag when she suddenly found someone standing downstairs. She glanced subconsciously, but found that it was a slender figure standing under the street light and looking up.
It's Wei Mingyan.
She quickly opened the door and went out, and on the excuse of going downstairs to throw garbage, hurriedly put on her coat and picked up the door to prepare for the garbage the next day, and ran downstairs.
"You look at the way!"
Mother Wei and Dad Wei shouted, and only the sound of his daughter's footsteps hurriedly downstairs could be heard.
"It's true. He's so old and still like a child, he can't grow up." Dad Wei sighed with a smile, without any intention of blame.
In his eyes, of course, his daughter is good at everything.
"By the way! Did you burn the little clothes I bought last time?"
"It's burned, I took it to the cemetery today to burn it."
After the two of them finished speaking, they remembered the child who died just after landing, and their mood became heavy again.
Both of them were not rich, but they gritted their teeth and bought a small cemetery for the child to store the urns. The tombs of some young children were placed there. Because the area occupied a small area, the price was fair.
So many years have passed, and in fact, the sadness of losing the child was almost diluted by time. However, Mother Wei is more emotional. Every time she buys something for her daughter, she always remembers that her son died and she will go clean and burn it during the holidays. She just thinks it is a thought.
This time Wei Rou’s birthday is actually the birthday of the child who died prematurely.
Wei Rou happily went downstairs, carrying the garbage without even having to throw it away, so she went straight to the position she saw just now. Sure enough, Wei Mingyan's figure stood under the tree.
Seeing her running over in a skirt, she smiled and said, "Run slowly, you don't have to worry about falling."
Wei Rou soon came to him. When she got closer, she found that Wei Mingyan had changed his clothes, wearing a white and blue sweater on him, and his handsome face looked a little more beautiful.
"Have you changed into new clothes?"
I don’t know if it was because Wei Mingyan saved him last time. Wei Rou saw that he was not only not afraid, but was a little close to him. At this moment, looking at his appearance, he subconsciously asked.
"yes."
A slight smile appeared on the boy's face, and he looked a little happy in his eyes. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the new sweater on his body and said, "My parents burned it for me."
Wei Rou was stunned, and then she remembered that Wei Mingyan was a ghost, and of course his clothes were burned by living people.
"Are you here to find me?"
"Yes." Wei Mingyan nodded, "I'll take a look."
When Wei Rou lost the garbage and sat on the bench downstairs with one person and one ghost, Wei Mingyan spoke first, "You guessed it right, I'm already dead."
Even Wei Rou had guessed this answer in her heart, and she couldn't help but be shocked, but she was not afraid at all, maybe because she knew that Wei Mingyan would not hurt her.
Wei Rou turned her head and looked at Wei Mingyan. The boy looked normal and his clothes were clean, which was different from all the remaining spirits he saw that day.
"Why did you... save me that day?"
Wei Mingyan leaned on the bench, "I happened to pass by, so I saved it."
It's such a simple and crude reason.
Before Wei Rou could be stunned for a moment, the young man turned his head and looked at her confused look and laughed.
"I'm just teasing you, I actually want to make friends."
“Make friends?”
"Well, I can pretend to be a human, chat with people in various classrooms, and say a few words, which can be considered as passing the time for myself."
"Last time, the remaining spirits in the school were attracted by the incense, so I went with me to see them, and you will know what happened next."
Wei Mingyan raised his head, looked at the direction of the Wei family building, and sighed, "Do you know? Being a ghost is really lonely, especially when I am the only one, so I always like to pretend to be a human."
"But there were so many schools last time..."
Wei Rou reacted as soon as she spoke, and stopped awkwardly, "Yes, they are remnants."
"Well, if you want to find someone to chat, come to me. I like chatting too."
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The boy looked at the direction of the Wei family and said softly, "I can only maintain my current appearance for a short time. As long as I use my strength, here..."
He stretched out his hand and pointed his cheek on one side, "It will reveal its original appearance, which is extremely ugly."
"Where's ugly?"
Wei Rou heard the loss in his tone and quickly comforted him, "It's just a small piece, not ugly at all."
Wei Mingyan then turned his head to look at her, and when he saw the sincerity in the girl's eyes in front of him, a slight smile appeared on his lips, "Thank you."
"I have been trying to cover this mark, but I can only barely cover it at night. You are the first to say that this is not ugly."
Wei Rou looked at his face carefully, afraid of poking his scar, and asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to cover this wound?"
"I had no wounds when I died, but I just became a ghost and was injured here after I was ignorant.
The boy clicked over there and smiled bitterly, "Now I am no longer afraid of the sun, but the wound is left behind. I want to be the same as a human, but as long as it is exposed here, it will only scare those people away."
"And I can't accept such an ugly self..."
