Dan Zhixian's life was tragic.
He grew up without a father or mother, was picked on by nasty kids at the orphanage, and was finally adopted by kind parents. He even gained a gentle, kind childhood friend who lived next door. But on the way to college, he was abducted by a deranged kidnapper and tortured to death.
After he died, that childhood friend, who was usually soft-spoken and would quietly dab away tears even while watching a sad movie, actually went to the deranged kidnapper and stayed by his side, asking where he was!
He's lying to you!
I'm already dead!
My corpse is stuck inside the wall by your bed!
Watching his childhood friend get controlled and beaten, Dan Zhixian, now a ghost, was frantic: Fight back, I'm begging you!!!
The next second, his childhood friend staggered to his feet, grabbed the deranged kidnapper by the throat, and smiled with quiet warmth. "All right. I'll listen to you and fight back."
Dan Zhixian: ?
·
Chu Huai had lived for several centuries, and had always been able to see things other people couldn't.
At first, they were demons and monsters. Then came severed limbs and scraps of flesh lying in the middle of the road, the stench of blood mingling with the rain, and bones buried in the earth that wouldn't stop making a racket.
The boundary between the dead and the living was gradually blurring, and terror and fear would eventually engulf the whole world.
If anything good happened before the apocalypse, it was meeting the silly Dan Zhixian next door.
But he died, too.
Chu Huai only wanted to stay with him, keep his abnormality from being discovered, have his rotting bones within reach, and hear his rambling concern in the half-dreaming hours. That seemed like enough.
But he almost forgot: he had never been able to refuse that person's requests.
Dan Zhixian said, "Fight back."
All he could answer was, "All right."
Now that his secret was out, it was only natural to get a little greedier.
As Dan Zhixian stared in horror, Chu Huai wiped the blood splattered at the corner of his eye and dug the already rotting bones out of the wall.
"We'll do what we used to: curl up on the sofa and watch movies, then hug, then kiss, then get into bed, "
Clutching the bones tightly, he stared straight at Dan Zhixian in the air. His voice was so gentle it sent a chill down the spine as he spoke with a faint smile.
"You have to come back to life, Zhixian. Do it for me, okay?"
