An Yinong continued to study, and his life did not change.
The next year, the provincial examination was held again, and the Imperial College welcomed many people. This time Huang Meisheng came alone, and it was said that he left his wife at home to raise two children.
He didn’t know what went wrong, but the concubines and ‘friends’ who should have appeared in the plot were nowhere to be seen. Not long after he arrived, he came to visit An Yinong, with a handsome book boy and a specialty from his hometown – dried rice field fish.
Because they were from the same hometown and were classmates, An Yinong could only entertain him politely, saying pleasantries such as ‘visit often’.
“Strange, how come he has aged so much after not seeing him for three years? Is it because of the beard?”
As soon as Huang Meisheng left, An Yinong spilled the tea on the table, washed the tea set carefully, and then slowly took out the good tea and mountain spring water: “He and I are the same age, but now it seems as if we are ten years apart.”
He didn’t know how Huang Meisheng spent his life. He was only twenty-two, but his eyes were already very cloudy and his complexion was not very good.
“Ah, it doesn’t make sense. How could the regret value not change after seeing each other for several years?” The system was still thinking about this. It was also very persistent.
An Yinong laughed and ignored it. He happily drank a pot of tea and read a new collection of poems. It was not until the evening that Gu Zhengzhong came. An Yinong, who was half asleep, smelled the fragrance and leaned over.
He still didn’t wake up, and Gu Zhengzhong didn’t wake him up. He tucked the corner of the quilt and carefully untied his hairband: “You always forget to untie the hairband? Don’t complain about a headache later.”
The system was about to run out happily to tell the host that the remorse value suddenly increased, but who knew that it would be shown dog food as soon as it came. The degree of their eyes in the past two years was enough to roll back and forth several times, who knew that they were still innocent and nothing happened.
“I’ve never seen such dawdling, I want to drug them and lock them in a room.” The system couldn’t help but complain, “By the way, that Huang Meisheng, how come his remorse value increased after thinking about it? Emotional lag?”
How could the system know that Huang Meisheng was not emotionally lagging, he was finally not controlled!
Huang Meisheng felt bitter. When he was having sex with Liu Lang, Liu Lang said that he would help him pass the imperial examination, but Huang Meisheng took the initiative to ask for help. Why did this monster trouble him?
“What do you want to do to my brother Yinong?” He pointed at the man who was sitting there and eating chicken legs, trembling with fear.
The man who was eating chicken legs looked at Huang Meisheng, and then thought of the young man drinking tea and chatting. They were really different. The most rare thing was that the young man had a clear and upright look, and he was very relaxed when talking to him. He was not just a person with a bright appearance.
No wonder Gu Zhengzhong, the old ghost, treated him like a treasure and never left his side. Anyone who showed any intention of provoking them would be beaten to death.
“What do I want to do to him? It’s what you want to do, right?” The man laughed at Huang Meisheng.
“You, a scholar, have lustful thoughts whenever you meet a pretty girl. Not only did you seduce my junior to break his precepts and cast a spell, but you also recited poems under the window every day to seduce my maid. Now you are thinking about your classmate. If others knew your dirty thoughts, I’m afraid they would be ashamed to associate with such a treacherous villain like you.”
These words exposed Huang Meisheng’s thoughts, and he blushed: “How can you frame someone for no reason? I just make friends with poems and essays, but you, a monster, are seen as dirty…”
At this point, Huang Meisheng dared not say anything. He hid aside, feeling guilty and short of breath.
The man looked at him and shook his head: “They are all well-known figures, how can he find such a good one? And I have to clean up for such a dirty thing.” His poor junior had lost a hundred years of practice, and this ruthless human was still eyeing the meat in other people’s bowls.
Huang Meisheng didn’t understand, but he was really afraid of this weird and unpredictable person, or “thing”. It’s just that this ‘thing’ was too fierce, and he couldn’t escape it even if he lived in a temple.
“It’s all Liu Lang’s fault. If I had known that he had such a powerful elder, why would I have provoked him?” Huang Meisheng, who had already passed the imperial examination and gained benefits, had never reflected on himself. In fact, it was his own sin, and he wanted to take shortcuts with the help of demons, which led to such a cause and effect.
After that, Huang Meisheng often came to visit An Yinong, and each visit didn’t last long, only a quarter of an hour. Generally, they talked about serious academic knowledge, and occasionally talked about the latest poems, or played chess and drank tea.
An Yinong was prejudiced against him, but after meeting him several times, he changed his view: “What happened in the past three years? How could a person change his nature?”
The original Huang Meisheng was only superficial, and his heart was full of mean people. His writing was also pretentious. However, after these conversations, he actually had a big picture view and could discuss articles to the point.
“When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes.” An Yinong looked at Huang Meisheng’s new article, which was meaningful and had novel arguments. “If he is true, I can’t look at him with the old eyes.”
The system, which was holding a bean paste cake and chewing it, heard that the tone was not right, and raised its head blankly: “What is true or false?”
“Have you forgotten that this is a world where monsters exist? Compared with the protagonist changing his nature, I would rather believe that he had to change because of some irresistible force.”
‘Pah’, the bean paste cake in his hand fell on the table, and the system covered its face in disbelief: “Huh?!”
“It’s so dirty, clean it up yourself.” An Yinong stretched out his hand to flick the system away, “Now this is just my guess, there is no evidence.”
“What if it is true?” The system asked curiously after rolling around eating cakes.
After careful consideration, An Yinong said, “If this guess is true, even if I don’t like Huang Meisheng very much, I would still want to ask about the situation. If I can help, I will help. If I can’t, forget it.”
After that, when Huang Meisheng came again, An Yinong deliberately tried to probe him twice, about their childhood when they went to school together, and about what happened during the escape from famine.
An Yinong asked casually, as if he just mentioned it casually, and Huang Meisheng answered very naturally. At least from the perspective of the system, this kid didn’t seem to have any problems.
However, that night An Yinong told Gu Zhengzhong about this matter: “I suspect he was controlled by something. Although his answer was flawless, this is abnormal.
“For Huang Meisheng, the escape from famine was a lifelong shame, especially since he robbed other people’s things and stripped clothes from dead people during the journey… He has been deliberately avoiding these things, but now he naturally talks about the details. “
Gu Zhengzhong tapped the table with his fingertips and frowned: “Things may be a little troublesome. “
“Hmm? “An Yinong was puzzled.
“If an alien sneaks in or approaches you, I can feel it, and there will be traces on the other side. There is only one situation where it will not leave any traces and I will not find it.”
“What situation?”
Gu Zhengzhong turned the teacup in his hand: “If a human voluntarily signs a contract with a demon, and the demon completes the part of the contract and requires the exercise of power to control the human, then when it moves, it will not leave any smell or other traces, and it will not be easily discovered by me.”
“Contract?” An Yinong didn’t know what he was thinking of, and his expression was a little subtle.
“It’s a contract.” Gu Zhengzhong raised his finger, and the teacup turned a circle and stopped steadily, “Don’t worry, I will handle it.”
“No, I’m not worried, but I’m suspicious…” He paused and continued, “What exactly happened, I can confirm it after contacting Huang Meisheng later.
“By the way, don’t worry too much about Huang Meisheng’s affairs. If he made the contract himself and he has already benefited, then it is his duty to fulfill the contract.”
Gu Zhengzhong smiled: “I’ll listen to you.” Gu Zhengzhong didn’t say much, and An Yinong didn’t ask much. There was such a tacit understanding between them.
Gu Zhengzhong never interfered with An Yinong’s affairs. He believed that he could solve it alone. An Yinong also believed that Gu Zhengzhong could arrange everything in the field he didn’t know.
And the guy who seemed to come for him, An Yinong didn’t care about his fate at all.
Gu Zhengzhong went out for a while, until the third watch of the second day, a black shadow appeared in An Yinong’s room, and it approached An Yinong’s bed: “Brother Yinong has a cruel heart. I was happy to talk about poetry with him these days, but who knew that you would let your lover kill me.”
Before the black shadow finished speaking, An Yinong, who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the bed, opened his eyes directly and drew out the sword beside the bed to stab him.
The shadow retreated and disappeared.
“What’s wrong?” The roommate who was half asleep on the other side asked. He could feel the other’s sleepiness through the screen.
“Nothing, a wild cat came. You can continue to sleep.” An Yinong stood barefoot on the stone floor with a sword in hand. His voice was calm and his expression was the same.
“Oh.” The roommate turned over and soon snored again.
“How did you know I’m a cat demon? That old ghost said so?” The shadow in the dark appeared again, but this time it was not the appearance of black fog, but a man in gorgeous robes, with cat-like eyes and dark golden pupils, which was very strange.
“It’s a cat demon, host!” The system flew out when it smelled the scent of beauty.
An Yinong looked at the furry white triangular ears on the other’s head and moved his fingers.
His repulsion was slightly reduced: “If you come to talk about poetry with me in your real body, how can I expel you?”
“Really?” The visitor opened his seductive eyes wide.
“Follow my rules, send an invitation, arrange a time and place, nothing is wrong.” An Yinong put his sword back, “Like now, if you enter without invitation at three o’clock in the morning, I will drive you out, whether you are a human or a monster.”
“I send an invitation and you will respond?”
“Look, I like it.”
“What if Gu Zhengzhong stops you?” The visitor smiled, and there was a clear “bad intention” in his big and upturned eyes, but looking at him, it was difficult to have a bad feeling.
“Hehe.”
An Yinong chuckled lightly, and the pleasing aura on the visitor disappeared. The other party narrowed his eyes and smiled as usual: “Why are you not affected by my magic?”
“I have seen the most suitable person in the world, and others are just compromises. You are no different.”
The visitor was stunned at first, and then laughed wildly. However, this laughter did not wake up the sleeping roommate, and he didn’t know what kind of magic it was.
An Yinong and Gu Zhengzhong have been dating for many years, but they don’t know much about that world. He never had the idea that he should cater to someone and integrate into someone’s world, and neither did Gu Zhengzhong.
The visitor’s face changed in the middle of his smile: “The annoying guy is here. My name is Jin Sheng, remember my name.”
An Yinong seemed to understand something, and he said: “It’s not the annoying guy, it’s my husband.”
“Tsk.” The jealous visitor quickly fled, and when Gu Zhengzhong came over, An Yinong was left sitting at the table, and a sleeping roommate who was a daily tool man.
Oh, there was also a tool system that Gu Zhengzhong couldn’t see.
“That guy has been here.” Gu Zhengzhong knew what was going on at a glance. He walked over, picked up his coat and put it on An Yinong who was wearing his inner clothes.
“Yes,” An Yinong turned his head, frowned slightly and said worriedly, “I’m a little panicked, sir, can you accompany me?”
System: “…” Host, you didn’t say that when you raised your sword to chop people just now.
However, Gu Zhengzhong was like a blind man, his expression softened: “Okay, I’ll watch you, you can sleep peacefully.”
An Yinong gently placed his hand on Gu Zhengzhong’s hand, raised his head and smiled slowly. The angle of looking up, the affectionate eyes, the gentle smile, and the hazy candlelight, were just right…
Gu Zhengzhong’s pupils slightly dilated, and he saw his own shadow and his love in An Yinong’s eyes. Controlling his out-of-control heart, Gu Zhengzhong spread out his fan to cover half of his face, feeling a little uncomfortable.
An Yinong was at ease, admiring his embarrassment: so cute.
System: “…” Boss, you are hopeless, you are doomed, hopeless.
