Novel Bin Chapter 85
Shen Zixia took a deep breath, his heart feeling a bit stuffy.
Ye Zhizhou wiped his lips and then crazily spat in contempt. He intercepted Cen Yuebai’s extended hand and continued to release his anger. “What are you doing? Why are you kissing me? Who permitted you? Why would I let an onion kiss me? And this hand of yours, weren’t you using it to very happily hug pretty girls? Keep hugging them, don’t touch me!”
“I didn’t hug them.” When Cen Yubai held his hand he still had no expression on his face. He lowered his head and kissed the back of Ye Zhizhou’s hand. “I investigated, you\'ve been secretly in love with me. Now, I have decided to love you. Would you like to get together with me?”
Shen Zixia, who had just come to, felt his brain stop working.
Ye Zhizhou was stunned for a moment before he took back his hand and wiped it on the sheets. His attitude softened just a little. “Stop lying to me. Just a few days ago, at the entrance of Dusk Cafe, I saw it all!
Cen Yuebai narrowed his eyes. “You followed me?”
Dusk Cafe is a campus cafe within Cen Yuebai’s and Shen Mengxi’s university, which was very far from Shen Zihao’s school. It’s really difficult to just “happen” to see it.
“I-I just saw it when I was looking for Mengxi.” Ye Zhizhou resolutely refused to admit that he stalked him. It was obviously done by the original owner and had nothing to do with him at all!
Cen Yuebai quietly examined him carefully for a while before suddenly lowering his head and kissing the back of Ye Zhizhou’s hand again. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. “You\'re really adorable.”
Shen Zixia retreated two steps and leaned against the wall. Suddenly, his heart was feeling a calm before the storm. He glanced at younger brother in the hospital bed, looking pale and in a terrible state, and thought deeply… is Cen Yuebai blind?
A cool, handsome guy calling you adorable with a straight face, this lethality… Ye Zhizhou tried to move his grasped hand away involuntarily, his ears turning red and he stuttered, “Don’t change the topic! I clearly saw you guys hugging, don’t try to deceive me!”
The little cat that Cen Yuebai was holding cautiously poked her head out toward Ye Zhizhou, meowing twice at him. Ye Zhizhou looked at it and his angry expression started to fade. He strongly pulled the hand that Cen Yuebai was holding out of his grasp and reached out to pet her. “You’re here too? Were you scared yesterday?”
“Meow~” The little cat gently rubbed against his fingertips, her small claws moving as if she wanted to go over to him.
Cen Yuebai slightly bent down and placed her on the bed. With his face unchanged, he said, “I didn’t hug her. She hugged me.”
Ye Zhizhou became angry. “Stop telling these careless lies! You might as well have said that it was your clone hugging her!"
“I don’t have a clone.” Cen Yuebai took out a paper talisman and folded it several times. He mumbled a few words under his breath and then threw the paper talisman into the air while saying in a calm voice as if he was just discussing the weather, “But this duplicating talisman is possible.”
The paper talisman spread out in the air and gradually became human-shaped. Afterwards, the human body was shrouded in a faint light that dissipated to show another ‘Cen Yuebai’ standing in the middle of the ward with a dull look.
Ye Zhizhou was dumbfounded.
This…. this mission world… Ye Zhizhou hugged the cat that had leaped onto his chest and furiously poked at Tongtian in his mind. He asked urgently, “Tongtian! What’s this unscientific thing? Doesn’t this mission world believe in science?”
[The system has already given all the information.]
But your information didn\'t mention dark arts!
Shen Zixia was also shocked. He held back the urge to raise his hand to rub his eyes.
A few seconds later, the "Cen Yuebai" in the center of the room dissipated into smoke, leaving behind the smell of burnt paper.
It was naive of him to think that the mission world would be typical while in difficult mode… Ye Zhizhou couldn\'t help tightening his hold on the cat in arms, who soothingly rubbed against him.
Cen Yuebai looked down and reached out to take the cat out of his arms. He set her aside and said indifferently, “I picked up your sister by chance.” Then, he took out a red paper talisman from his pocket and folded it slowly. “She asked me to help her. I figured out that my fated marriage thread was within her family, so I agreed.”
He cut his finger and let a drop of blood drip onto the folded paper talisman. He picked up the gauze used by the doctor while he was treating Ye Zhizhou’s wound and took a little bit of blood from it. Then, rubbing the paper talisman with his fingers, he lit it on fire. He said with a cold tone, “Later, I met your sister’s body and found out that the soul that snatched your sister’s body had traces of previously being moved. Thus, I temporarily put your sister’s soul on my body because I wanted to return her soul to her physical body.”
The red paper talisman’s burning ashes were scarlet red. The ashes slowly condensed into a thin red thread that gradually fell onto Ye Zhizhou’s hand and gently wrapped his small fingers, one after another.
“More than one lifetime of fated marriage.” Cen Yuebai lips suddenly showed a small smile. He raised Ye Zhizhou’s hand and kissed his fingers while saying with a soft, tender tone, “I like this result.” After he said this, he looked toward the meowing cat and lightly touched its forehead. “Unfortunately, the returning magic failed so I had to think of something else.”
Ye Zhizhou and Shen Zixia were already stunned silly by his words and the red thread. Their eyes first looked at the cat, then moved to gaze at the thread. Once they finished looking at the thread they moved their gaze onto Cen Yuebai’s handsome face. Their brains moved crazily trying to digest the information. Finally, it was Ye Zhizhou, who had already experienced several big shocking situations in many different worlds, that took the lead in returning to his senses. He picked up the cat next to him and asked in surprise, “Y-you’re Shen Mengxi?”
The cat blinked and then purred softly.
“Are you really are Shen Mengxi? The one who blew up the kitchen with the ori—with me?"
The cat meowed again and then nodded her head.
What the fuck… He foolishly put down the cat and felt that his previous understanding of the mission world was a little too narrow. The original plot never mentioned what happened to Shen Mengxi’s soul, nor did it mention Cen Yuebai’s dark arts… It didn’t mention that Cen Yuebai approached the protagonist in order to help Shen Mengxi’s return her soul to her body at all! Wait a minute. Since Cen Yuebai approached the protagonist in order to return Shen Mengxi’s soul, after the body died, he shouldn’t have a reason to continue to approach the protagonist, right? So why was he still diligently running around five years later to retrieve the protagonist, who had already returned to his own body?!
“Heartbreaker!” Once again, he glared at Cen Yuebai. A gloomy look swept over Cen Yuebai\'s lower body. “I won’t forgive you!”
The cat was stupefied by his sudden hostile face. She licked him foolishly while meowing quietly.
Cen Yuebai seemed to know what he was thinking. He raised his hand to stroke Ye Zhizhou\'s hair and explained, “When I started the path of dark arts, my fated marriage was already determined. If my fated person didn’t appear, I can\'t lose my innocence.
Otherwise, when I die, my soul\'s path will disappear and make me unable to reincarnate forever.”Ye Zhizhou’s face immediately changed. No path for his soul, making him unable to reincarnate forever, how cruel!
Shen Zixia, whose brain CPU was overloaded, finally digested the information Cen Yuebai told them. He quickly stepped forward and looked to the cat nestled beside Ye Zhizhou. He asked quietly, “You’re Mengxi?”
The small cat seemed to be afraid of him. She shrank back to Ye Zhizhou’s side and gave a low meow.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the room door and Fan Lang, with a wide smile on his face, directly pushed open the door to come in. he held a fruit basket as he greeted everyone, “Elder brother and Yuebai are here too. Second brother, I’ve come to see you. Thank you for pushing me away at that time.”
The small cat suddenly gave two loud meows with the fur on her neck puffed up.
“Yi! Why is it this cat again?” Fan Lang put down the fruit basket and carefully approached them as he turned his gaze away, ignoring the cat. “Yuebai, are you really going to adopt it? I’m telling you, it’s fierce. You’re better off abandoning it.” After saying this, he went to the bedside and strongly patted Ye Zhizhou’s chest, saying with a smile, “Second brother, you’re really useless. Wasn’t it just a stab? Your face unexpectedly became so incredibly pale. That year, when I was fighting street gangsters, I got stabbed three times…”
“Fighting street gangsters?” Shen Zixia turned to look at \'her\', with an expression as profound as deep waters. “When did you fight with street gangsters? Why don’t I know of this?”
Fan Lang quickly covered his mouth, laughing as he tried to cover up the mistake. “J-just this time when I went out shopping and saw other people fighting on the streets… Let’s not talk about this. Second brother, when can you leave the hospital? I’ll invite you to dinner then. I’ll also call Zhang Lin and Cao Yu too. Let’s all go out for a drink and not come back until we’re drunk!”
He definitely deserves to be called a rich second generation idiot that loves to play. His main focus in life was just to eat, drink, play and have fun. In the original plot, what did the male leads like about him… Thinking about this, he squinted at Shen Zixia and deliberately said, “Elder brother, aren\'t you pretty fond of Mengxi lately? How about you go to the bar with her in my place? It’s really inconvenient for me to go out now…”
“What drinking!” Shen Zixia’s stern voice cut Ye Zhizhou off, his eyes full of examination and inquiry were looking at Fan Lang. “You’re not allowed to go drinking! Don’t ruin your stomach with alcohol. Girls are more delicate and can’t play around like that.”
“Big brother, you’re so old-fashioned.” Fan Lang was very dense. When he heard these words, he thought Shen Zixia was just joking around, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder a couple of times while saying with a smile, “If you’re a man, then don’t worry! Isn’t it just a drink? It’s not a big deal.”
“A girl should behave like one.” Shen Zixia has thoroughly confirmed that there was a strange soul in Shen Mengxi’s body. A sense of anger about being cheated and his family being hurt arose in his heart. He said coldly, “You’re not allowed to go out anymore. Just obediently go back to school, don’t force me to lock you up.”
This was the first time Fan Lang had seen Shen Zixia’s fierce side. He frowned and pushed him impatiently. “What a bad temper. I’ve never seen such a man like you.” While saying this, he looked towards Cen Yuebai and asked, “Yuebai, why are you here? When did you get to know my second brother? I don’t think you’ve mentioned it before.”
“I just met him. I came here to woo him.” Cen Yuebai poked the forehead of the small puffed up cat and turned his head to look at Fan Lang to ask, “How’s your health recently?”
“What did you say you came here to do?” Fan Lang’s eyes widened and he quickly rushed in front of Cen Yuebai, stuttering as he asked, “You… Aren’t you chasing me? I-I was even preparing to… You, what the hell…”
“I’m not chasing you at all.” Cen Yuebai looked away and held onto Ye Zhizhou’s hand that was on the side, entwining their fingers together. “He\'s my chosen lover.”
“Then why did it seem like you always cared about me for no reason? You were afraid of me being hungry, cold or sick! And you still say that you aren’t chasing me?” Fan Lang screamed. He scowled with a dark expression, his eyes full of anger as he aimed a fist at Cen Yuebai. “You damn gay! Pretending to be straight and deceiving me! Disgusting! I’ll kill you!”
This was the final straw for Shen Zixia. He stepped forward and grabbed Fan Lang’s hand, forcing it down and yelled, “Calm down! Who’s actually the liar? Get out of here!”
“You want me to get lost?” Fan Lang was furious. He pointed a finger at Shen Zixia and cursed, “What right does a guy who wanted an incestuous relationship have to yell at me! If it wasn’t for…. wasn’t for… Let go of me! I’ll leave. Who cares about your Shen family? Bah! Just you wait… I will humiliate the Shen family in the future!”
Bang!
The door of the hospital room was strongly flung open and Shen Zixia was angered to the point that he fiercely punched the wall of a few times. “I’m blind! This kind of rude piece of trash can’t even be compared to Xiao Xue!”
Ye Zhizhou hugged the cat that withdrew to his side and quietly whispered in his heart that Shen Zixia deserved it. For this kind of man who occasionally loses a few screws in his head, he needed to be provoked like this.
After he calmed down a bit, Shen Zixia came to the bedside and looked at the little cat who turned its head away, not looking at him. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration and asked Cen Yuebai, “Mr. Cen, do you really have a way to let my sister return to her body? Just now, that man… Damn it!”
“It’s possible, as long as you find the person who moved your sister’s soul out of her body.” Cen Yuebai helped Ye Zhizhou in tidying up the blanket, and thought for a moment before he added, “You also need to know the identity of the soul currently occupying your sister’s body, and where the soul’s original body is.”
Shen Zixia frowned at his words. “With that person\'s temper, I\'m afraid…”
“I know how to find out the identity of the soul living in Mengxi.” Ye Zhizhou interrupted their conversation. He raised the little cat’s paw and waved it. “In fact, it’s very simple. Recently, there were a few people that suddenly appeared next to Mengxi. You can find out if you check carefully.”
“Zhang Lin and Cao Yu,” Cen Yuebai said these two names, paused for a bit and then added, “and also Yin Feiyu.”
“I’ll go investigate!” Shen Zixia took a look at the little cat, turned around to pick up his coat on the sofa in the room, and walked out quickly.
“Big brother, wait!” Ye Zhizhou hurriedly called out to him to remind him, “You should call cousin Su Yu as well and go together. He should know the truth. If that bastard who took Mengxi’s body went to deceive cousin Su Yu, it would be bad.”
“I know.” Shen Zixia nodded hastily and opened the door to leave.
Now, it was only Ye Zhizhou and Cen Yuebai left in the room. The little cat looked back and forth between them and then jumped off the bed by herself. She curled up on the sofa in the corner of the room and blocked her eyes with her tail.
My sister is really considerate… Ye Zhizhou thought, speechless.
Cen Yuebai took out another paper talisman, tore it apart and scattered it around the two of them. He bent over to look at Ye Zhizhou and whispered, “She can’t hear our conversation… Now, tell me. Why are you in a body that doesn’t belong to you?”
Ye Zhizhou, who thought he was going to do something shameful, was stunned.
“Are you forcibly occupying the body in the current situation? Or swapping souls? Or…” Cen Yuebai lowered his head with his eyes still looking at him, his warm breath spreading over his face, “are you an evil spirit haunting someone?”
Ye Zhizhou snapped out of it, feeling both ashamed and angry. He looked up and bit his lips, ambiguously saying, “Of course I’m an evil spirit who’s haunting someone! That someone is you, heartbreaker!”
Cen Yuebai chuckled lightly and raised his hand to cup Ye Zhizhou’s face, giving him a deep kiss. “Even if you’re an evil spirit haunting someone, I’ll accept it.”
