we are just monsters

Chapter 116
night.

Gu Cheng was sitting on the sofa watching TV, but he didn't pay attention to the TV.

There are some clothes on the sofa.

When Xia Xiaoman got out of the TV, his eyes didn't move.

"What are you thinking?"

"It's a bit ridiculous for me to persuade you to reincarnate before thinking about it." Gu Cheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl.

It's so ridiculous.

"It's good to know." Xia Xiaoman said indifferently: "You beat Lilith?"

"You know this as well?"

"I heard her secretly scolding you with Montenegro."

"..."

"Release your anger." Xia Xiaoman smiled, narrowing his eyebrows slightly, "Old Gu, you have resented someone else."

Gu Cheng didn't speak.

"Immortal is not without emotions." Xia Xiaoman continued, "You are not so peaceful in your heart. You have seen many life and death, but those are all other people's stories. You are a bystander. The life of friends and friends belongs to you. In life, there is only loneliness."

"Now, I share your loneliness. My loneliness will end soon, and yours will continue." Xia Xiaoman tiptoed with her hands behind her back.

Is it sympathy?

Still empathize?

Long and short, different routes lead to the same goal.

Gu Cheng looked up at her.

"I found you once, saw you, and you left again." Xia Xiaoman turned around and talked about the past.

"When?"

"In 08, in Shanan."

"At that time..."

When she mentioned it, Gu Cheng recalled, "At that time we were going to Xiang'an, but there were too many people, and those people were rushing home for the Spring Festival, and because of the heavy snowfall, we were short of capacity, so we got off the car early and stayed for a few days. sky."

Shanan was not their destination that time, nor was it Zhou Xiaotian's destination.

But they all got off there for the same reason.

Xia Xiaoman looked sideways out of the window, but couldn't tell what it was like.

Although they have never met each other across mountains and rivers, they live the same life and do almost the same things.

"Fortunately I didn't catch you."

"Why are you lucky?"

"If you were caught at that time, would you pretend to be your own grandson?"

"..."

Gu Cheng understood what she meant, if she had been caught that time, she would not have such a deep obsession.

Being deceived by a lie, knowing that Wang Aimin went to another place to start a family and have a child, maybe, she will be stable in the next ten years, and she will not have any regrets after death, and may be reincarnated directly.In fact, all she was looking for in the following years was an answer, an explanation for her life.

When she was alive, she couldn't find Wang Aimin no matter what. Only ghosts could find her in this world.

Because only the dead can hear the truth of this immortal.

After he abandoned Wang Aimin's identity, no one could find him, at most he could find 'Wang Aimin's son', or 'grandson'. Wang Aimin's identity was equivalent to death when he decided to change his name.

This is a fake name, how can I find it?
Gu Cheng sighed, "You still found it."

The price is her short life, the decades of ordinary people's life.

"Nearly missed it again."

"You should find someone and live a peaceful life."

"I found it, but I didn't find it."

"I mean, live a normal life and raise a kid."

"Yeah, you've seen it all."

Xia Xiaoman pointed in the direction of Zhou Xiaotian's shop.

"You adopted it too?"

"She was thrown by her parents by the garbage dump. At that time, I thought, if you met, you would definitely take her home, so I took her back."

"It's not easy to grow up."

Gu Cheng had a strange feeling. Although the two young people were sitting together, one was an immortal and the other was a dead old woman. In a sense, they were equal.

"It's easy, sensible, worry-free, and won't think about climbing into my bed every day."

"Are you scolding yourself?"

"What Xia Xiaoman did has anything to do with me, Zhou Muqing?" Xia Xiaoman was surprised.

Gu Cheng:?
While talking, Xia Xiaoman unconsciously approached him, and the master and apprentice sat on the sofa together.

Gu Cheng didn't respond, he looked down for the remote control, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xia Xiaoman's drooping little feet shrank and hid in his skirt.

Ok?
Gu Cheng frowned, and looked sideways at her.

"Mensao, you don't want it for you, I prefer to peek." Xia Xiaoman immediately poured a basin of sewage on it.

"How can I watch if you don't hide?" Gu Cheng felt that she was doing the opposite because nothing happened, but he just lowered his head, and Xia Xiaoman hid deliberately, as if he had really done something.

"You don't see me hiding?"

"..."

Gu Cheng pushed her away, found the remote control from behind her, and Xia Xiaoman picked up the clothes on the sofa.

"So, you still have mercy on me, right?"

"You take this as mercy?"

"Isn't it?" Xia Xiaoman asked back.

"I think...it's making up."

"You need to make up for what you owe, do you owe me?"

"I don't think I owe it." Gu Cheng said.

"You feel right. We met by chance and gave me a stable life for those years. You are the one who owes me the most." Xia Xiaoman said.

"You can say that your whole life is ruined by me." Gu Cheng said.

"Is it reasonable?"

"Not very reasonable."

"That's not right."

Xia Xiaoman said with a smile, "It's been so many years, it's a blessing for me to be able to sit together now."

Meeting a long-lived person hidden in the crowd is also a very unique thing. This life is actually not that bad.

"It was your loss that you didn't confess to me back then, otherwise, I could have been with you for 100 years."

"How can such a good thing happen, maybe you were so scared that you screamed at that time." Gu Cheng said.

"So, you still have some feelings, right?" Xia Xiaoman took a look at the clothes, "You are neither indebted nor pitiful. It is normal for you to be indifferent, even without fluctuations. After all, you have lived for so long."

If you don't have the slightest emotion, you won't be a teacher all the time, and you have nothing to do to save wandering souls.

Xia Xiaoman gestured with the clothes, as if planning to change immediately.

"What are you doing?" Gu Cheng asked.

"Try to seduce me, after all, there is still some time in this world, do you want to hug me again?"

"Don't you want it? It seems pitiful to say that."

"What does what Zhou Muqing said have anything to do with me, Xia Xiaoman?"

Gu Cheng:?
"You're an old woman, and I'm an old woman, so don't play around with it, just be honest." Gu Cheng said helplessly.

"Who is that old woman!" Xia Xiaoman clenched her fists tightly.

"If I didn't go to Yicheng, would you still be there?"

"Maybe."

Xia Xiaoman wasn't sure.

She wasn't sober at first.

In a daze, he did not stay in Baicheng, but returned to Yicheng, where the small courtyard used to be.

After wandering for a long time, she couldn't find her former home, and then she slowly recalled it, as if the master had left, and many years had passed.

"I forgot that I was dead, and I couldn't remember Xiaotian, and I couldn't remember that you left. I couldn't find the old yard no matter how I searched, and then I remembered that I seemed to be dead."
