Ziyou Heping felt it best to not get involved with the old man. After all, why would he purposely put himself in danger, not only that but it would be far too much trouble. Ziyou Heping could barely cope with his own mental problems, why would he go about helping others with their own? Also, who would believe him if he said that he could see ghosts?
Person A, Yeah no dude, I could totally see ghosts, not tripping balls though.
Person B, Yeah dude, totally.
Person A, Yo, my boy. I can see that you've been sad lately through like, your soul man.
Person B, Really man? I obviously didn't know that.
Person A, Yo, let me help you instead of you seekng therapy or something.
Ziyou Heping felt a headache coming on. He thought that this new life would be far less stressful then his last one, but looks like stress and him are soulmates. Ziyou Heping wondered what would be more stressful, ghosts or his family in the past life? Look, Ziyou Heping could now call it his past life so easily, so why can't he just leave it behind just as easily?
"Why are your thoughts so depressing? Look, you got a breathtaking body and there's a Male god to seduce!" The old man chimed in cheerfully.
Ziyou Heping felt his face heat up. So embarrassing…
The old man laughed, his teasing not stopping in the slightest. "Ah? My little student had a little crush? Hm, tell teacher all about it."
Ziyou Heping paused before a thought popped into his mind. Saying in a saccharine voice, "Dear old man, why do you know such terms as Male god, hmm? Does someone had a crush on one in the past, did you haunt him? Did love letters and poems suddenly appear in his room? Did you become the school girl of his dreams?"
It was the old mans turn to be speechless. Seeing the overly sweet smile on Ziyou Heping's seductive face, the old man finally found his voice. "I'm not that old, okay? I can know these terms too! Also what the hell is going on in that brain of your? I am a bonafide straight man!"
Ziyou Heping burst out laughing, trying his best to stifle his voice so that he won't wake anyone up. His depressing mood gone just like that. He really needed a good laugh after so long.
"Yeah okay. I totally understand." He felt it comfortable to talk to the old man. Although this was strange because of how Ziyou Heping's personality works, Ziyou Heling decisively decided to ignore it and just enjoy the it.
"It seems you've unconsciously started speaking out loud, watch that habit or else people are going to think your crazy. If the Male god thinks you're crazy, how can you seduce him then!?" The old man shouted in Ziyou Heping's mind.
Ziyou Heping shook his head, his tense body finally relaxing. The drowsiness washing over him like tides. Although recently he had been sleeping most of the time, his weakened body just couldn't keep up with all that's been happening. He really needed sleep. So that's just what he did.
Yan Chouyan stared fixedly at the sketch before him. Siting lazily on a chair on the balcony, Yan Chouyan didn't fell that the sketch accurately captured the beauty of Ziyou Heping. Yan Chouyan's brows scrunched into a frown. Languidly bringing the lit cigarette to his lips, Ziyou Heping took a deep breathe in before releasing it. The stress he had felt leaving along with the smoke. Gazing at the stars and moon, Yan Chouyan smooshed the cigarette into the black ashtray. Getting up, Yan Chouyan calmly steadied his mind.
Yan Chouyan turned his head so that he faced behind himself. His gaze colliding with cold and detached blue eyes. Pursing his lips, Yan Chouyan called softly,
"Qi Ze?"
