Chapter 21

"Cai Zhao, Cai Zhao, Cai Zhao! Wake up, it's noon." Chen Qiushi pushed Cai Zhao to wake him up, it's noon.

"Huh? Qiushi, it's noon?" Cai Zhao drew the curtains in his room, and the thick blackout cloth blocked all the light that came into the room. Cai Zhao took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was 11:30, which happened to be lunch time.Cai Zhao was in a daze, not knowing what to do next.

"Get up, let's go out for lunch. When you go out, turn right and then turn left. There is a shop that is very delicious. I liked it when I was a child." Chen Qiushi looked at Cai Zhao eagerly, and Cai Zhao's appointment took out his wallet and went out to buy small dumplings. Long Bao.Recently, Cai Zhao’s food has become more and more tasteless. The reason is very simple. In order not to waste, Cai Zhao buys food for one person. After Qiu Shi “eats”, he eats the food again. It's a ghost, it doesn't matter how much you eat, every time you give Qiushi half, he keeps the half, and when Qiushi "finishes", he mixes the two together and eats, so that the taste won't be lost.

After buying two drawers of steamed buns, Chen Qiushi "ate" one drawer. Cai Zhao waited for him to finish eating, poured the steamed steamed buns into his own bowl, and ate them together with the hot buns.

"Cai Zhao, can you stop spoiling me like this?" Chen Qiushi felt a little distressed when he saw him eating the food he had already "eaten".

"It's okay, I just love you, what's the matter?" Cai Zhao just swallowed the bun in his mouth, not to mention, it tastes really good, of course, the one he ate just now was hot.

"Cai Zhao, is there any kind of talisman that can give me a physical body? Then I can eat by myself." Chen Qiushi thought about it every time.

"This... yes, yes... but... there are conditions." Cai Zhao hesitated to speak.

"Conditions? What conditions?"

"Just make a contract with me." Cai Zhao said it anyway.Deed, as the name suggests, is to bind a contract. In layman's terms, it is to raise ghosts, but the Japanese Onmyo Dao says it nicely, called shikigami.The two have the same root and have different names, but the essence of the matter is the same. The ghost signed a blood contract with the master, and it will be used by the master during his lifetime. Cai Zhao does not want to restrain Chen Qiushi, and he himself does not need to raise ghosts to do something. , so I never mentioned this.

"Contract...you mean—raising ghosts?" Chen Qiushi asked him uncertainly.

"Yes, once the blood contract is established, you will have to work hard for me!" Cai Zhao joked with him.

"Forget it, it's fine like this." Chen Qiushi curled his lips, who would live a free life and run to be a cow or a horse for others.

But after calling here, Chen Qiushi asked Cai Zhao to buy food less and less often, and even asked to reduce the portion size. Of course, this is all for later.

After eating and drinking enough, Cai Zhao looked at his mobile phone. It was less than one o'clock. There was no need to think about taking a nap. He slept all morning and couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to. Chen Qiushi continued to watch his TV. Cai Zhao looked at the light outside and also It is not suitable to go out to take pictures, so I can only watch TV with Chen Qiushi to pass the time.

"Qiu Shi, when do you plan to go back and have a look?"

"Well...when you fell asleep."

"Come on, I don't know you yet. If you could go back, you would have gone back by yourself long ago. I didn't restrain you."

"Then...tomorrow." Chen Qiushi hesitated, wanting to go back but not daring to go back.

"I think it will be in the afternoon." Cai Zhao looked at the time and thought that the old man should be free in the afternoon.

Cai Zhao had investigated beforehand, and found that Chen Qiushi's parents had retired and stayed at home, and they hadn't moved out these years.The elderly generally like to take a nap, and they should not go out from 02:30 to [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

"Would it be faster..."

"No hurry, you haven't gone back for so many years, don't you miss them?"

"I think, why don't I think about it, but I'm even more afraid—after all... I've embarrassed them." Chen Qiushi's parents are teachers, and they teach in a relatively prestigious local high school. Chen Qiushi has always been the pride of his parents since he was a child. The formation of addiction is also the reason for parenting.Chen's father and Chen's mother always wanted a girl. Although Chen Qiushi would not ask him to do anything like a girl, she did not stop him from wearing lipstick and dyeing his nails when he was young. When Chen Qiushi grew up and found out that he had femininity, he was strictly prohibited, which caused Chen Qiushi to be very conflicted and even hurt.This knowledge was told to him by a psychiatrist when he was in a mental hospital.

Although after popularization by a psychiatrist, Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Qiushi both know that women's fetishism is not a disease, but a little habit that is different from others, and will not affect normal social interactions and life, but the face-saving Chen's father and mother still find it difficult. Accepted, Chen Qiushi was left in the mental hospital, and he was ordered not to come back if he could not correct himself.The pain in Chen Qiushi's heart can be imagined. He felt that he was abandoned by his parents. How could a teenager suffer such torture? Chen Qiushi was depressed during that time.It was not until he left the cage that bound him that his soul was freed.

Chen Qiushi can't forget the indifferent, disappointed, and painful eyes of his parents, let alone their embarrassing expressions when they went to Beijing to collect his ashes. The guilt in his heart tortured him very much, but he also missed them very much.

"Qiu Shi, some things have to be faced." Cai Zhao knew Chen Qiushi's entanglements and contradictions, so he could only comfort him in this way. "It's okay, Qiushi, they won't be able to see you now, you go boldly, and besides, I'll accompany you." Cai Zhao patted him on the shoulder.

"I don't even bother to say thank you to you." Chen Qiushi rolled his eyes at him. "Okay, I can't see it anyway, and I'm not afraid that my dad will whip me with a belt. Anyway, I just go back and have a look, and run away if it doesn't work." Chen Qiushi worked hard to build himself mentally.

"Hmm." Cai Zhao stroked his hand, "Qiu Shi, why don't I tell you a bad joke."

"Don't don't don't don't!!! You've told that cold joke [-] times over and over again, and I'm going to throw up if I hear it again, why don't I go, anyway, let's withdraw when the time is not good, the old man is getting old , I’m sure you can’t run as fast as the two of us.” Chen Qiushi couldn’t bear to tell a bad joke when he heard it.But being interrupted by him like this made me feel a lot easier.

The two were laughing and joking, playing and fighting, killing time, and the years were quiet.
