177. My Hobby Is Pretending to Be Someone Else (5) (1/2)

"Wei Mingyan..."

The scene in front of her should be scary, but Wei Rou looked at the boy who covered half of his face and smiled at her, and she was not scared at all. She just called his name subconsciously.

Wei Mingyan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the sky outside. The dark clouds above the school seemed to have dispersed a little, and it was not so dark nearby.

"I'm leaving." He said.

Zheng Hua and Cai Momo behind him were so shocked by his previous actions that they couldn't move. They just looked at the boy in a woolen sweater with his back to them, talking to Wei Rou.

"Here."

A milk bottle was stuffed into Wei Rou's hand. She took it blankly, "Where are you going?"

The boy lowered his eyes, covering half of his face with his hand, and did not answer her, "Take this bottle with you, it can protect you."

After he said that, he stood up. From Wei Rou's angle, she could clearly see that the boy's legs were long and straight, and even the way he walked was like some nobles that the teacher had talked about before. No matter when or what situation, he always walked slowly and was not in a hurry at all.

When Wei Mingyan's figure disappeared outside the door, Cai Momo and Zheng Hua reacted and hurriedly supported each other to stand up and came to Wei Rou.

"Who is that? So amazing."

"Wei Rou, is he your friend? Is he a ghost catcher?"

The blood dripping from the boy's right eye appeared in Wei Rou's mind again. She clenched the milk bottle in her hand, "Yes, he is my friend."

In any case, Wei Mingyan saved her.

***

The three girls cleaned up the mess and went back.

After this reconciliation, Cai Momo and Zheng Hua returned to their good relationship. They both took leave to attend the funeral of their relatives. Only Wei Rou and another girl were left in the dormitory. The girl had never seen anything scary from beginning to end and was not afraid at all. Wei Rou slept with a milk bottle in her arms and was not so scared.

She went in and out with a milk bottle, and no one cared about her because she always carried a small bag on her body. But every time she passed the street light outside the dormitory, Wei Rou's eyes could not help but circle around it.

Late at night, she would also think about the boy who suddenly appeared and disappeared inexplicably.

Wei Rou asked a senior sister she knew for help and checked the list of students in the Department of Fine Arts. There was no one named Wei Mingyan.

He should be a ghost, but a good ghost, otherwise he would not help her.

Wei Rou always remembered that day when Wei Mingyan stretched out his left hand and covered the left half of his face to prevent her from seeing the wound.

At that time, she was only shocked, but the way the boy covered his face that day made people feel a little sad.

But no matter how many times Wei Rou passed by that street lamp, Wei Mingyan never appeared again.

She returned home on her birthday.

Dad and Mom Wei made time to celebrate her birthday with the whole family.

The dishes cooked by Mom Wei were all what Wei Rou liked to eat. Dad Wei also bought her a small cake from outside. The three of them sat at the table and ate the small cake. Her parents also bought her gifts.

Dad Wei directly wrapped the red envelope, and Mom Wei gave her a beautiful little dress. When Wei Rou happily changed her clothes and came out, the three of them sat together and chatted again.

Dad Wei talked about the boss of their company who had a car accident. Now the boss's younger brother took over the company temporarily, but the boss's younger brother had little experience. It was not enough to mess up the company, but he also fired several veterans in a row.

Wei's mother immediately asked worriedly whether it would affect him. Wei's father smiled and waved his hand, "That's a fight between gods, it has nothing to do with us."

"But Manager Zhang of that company was fired."

Wei Rou was peeling peanuts and was stunned when she heard this, "Uncle Zhang?"

"Yes, isn't his daughter a junior high school classmate of Rou Rou? I remember that little girl liked to come to our house to play."

That was Wei Rou's best friend in junior high school, named Zhang Jing. Later, Zhang Jing had to go abroad with her mother. They were reluctant to part for a long time and never contacted each other again. But Wei Rou still remembers that Zhang Jing's eyes were red when she left, and she said that if she could come back, she would definitely come to see her first.

Wei's mother asked if Manager Zhang was implicated. Wei's father hesitated for a while before saying, "Not really. Manager Zhang made several wrong accounts, so the higher-ups decided to fire him."

Then he said casually with a bit of doubt, "But Manager Zhang has always been a meticulous person. He has been in the company for more than ten years without making any mistakes. I don't know what happened these days. He looks listless. Because of Rourou, Manager Zhang has been very caring to me before. I want to bring some things to see him tomorrow."

"You should go." Wei's mother agreed, "You can go to my place to get the money later. I'll buy something good and send it to you tomorrow. After all, I've helped you."

The topic of the two people gradually diverged to what gifts to bring. Wei Rou really didn't understand, so she simply went into the house to rest.

Their family was not rich. When they bought the house, Wei Rou was a few years old, and the money that Wei's father and mother had was only enough to buy a smaller house, so Wei Rou's room was a little small, but she kept it clean and it looked quite warm.

Wei Rou was sitting at the table taking things out of her schoolbag, and suddenly found that there seemed to be someone standing downstairs. She glanced subconsciously, but found that it was a slender figure standing under the street light, looking up at her.

It was Wei Mingyan.

She hurriedly opened the door and went out, using the excuse of going downstairs to throw away the garbage, hurriedly put on her coat, picked up the garbage prepared outside the door for the next day, and ran downstairs.

"Watch the road!"

Wei's mother and father shouted, and only heard the footsteps of their daughter hurried downstairs.

"Really, she is so old but still like a child, she can't grow up." Wei's father sighed with a smile, without any intention of blaming.

In his eyes, of course, his daughter is good in any way.

"By the way! Did you burn the little clothes I bought last time?"

"I burned them. I took them to the cemetery today."

After the two of them finished talking, they thought of the child who died just after birth, and their hearts became heavy again.

They were not rich, but they still gritted their teeth and bought a small piece of cemetery for the child to place the urn. There were graves of some children who died in infancy. Because the area was small, the price was reasonable.

So many years have passed, and in fact, the sadness of losing the child at the time was almost diluted by time. It's just that Wei's mother is more emotional. Every time she buys something for her daughter, she always thinks of her son who died in infancy and left cleanly. During festivals, she will buy some things to burn, just as a thought.

This time, Wei Rou's birthday is actually the birthday of the child who died in infancy.

Wei Rou went downstairs happily, carrying the garbage and not caring to throw it away, and went directly to the place she saw just now. Sure enough, Wei Mingyan was standing under the tree.

Seeing her running towards him in a skirt, he smiled, "Run slower, you won't fall."

Wei Rou quickly came to his side, and when she got closer, she found that Wei Mingyan had changed his clothes. The white and blue sweater he wore made his handsome face look even better.

"Did you change into new clothes?"

I don't know if it was because Wei Mingyan saved her last time, Wei Rou saw that he was not afraid, but felt close to him. Seeing him like this, she asked subconsciously.

"Yes."

The boy smiled lightly, and his eyes looked a little happy. He lowered his head slightly, looked at the new sweater on his body and said, "My parents burned it for me."

Wei Rou was startled, and then she remembered that Wei Mingyan was a ghost, and his clothes were of course burned by living people.

"Are you here to see me?"

"Yes." Wei Mingyan nodded, "I'll take a look."

When Wei Rou threw away the garbage, the ghost and the man sat on the bench downstairs, Wei Mingyan spoke first, "You guessed right, I've been dead for a long time."

Even if Wei Rou had guessed the answer in her heart, she couldn't help but be shocked, but strangely she wasn't afraid at all, probably because she knew Wei Mingyan wouldn't hurt her.

Wei Rou turned her head to look at Wei Mingyan. The boy's face was normal, and his clothes were clean, which was different from all the residual spirits she saw that day.

"Why did you save me that day?"

Wei Mingyan leaned on the bench, "I just happened to pass by and saved me."

It turned out to be such a simple and crude reason.

Before Wei Rou was stunned for a moment, the boy turned his head and looked at her confused face and laughed.

"I'm just kidding. Actually, I want to make friends."

"Make friends?"

"Well, I will pretend to be a human, chat with people in each classroom, and say a few words to myself. It can also be regarded as a way to kill time."

"Last time, the remaining spirits in the school were attracted by the incense, so I followed them to see, and you know what happened afterwards."

Wei Mingyan raised his head and looked in the direction of the Wei family building, sighing, "You know? Being a ghost is really lonely, especially when I am the only ghost, so I always like to disguise myself as a human."

"But there were so many people in the school last time..."

Wei Rou just started to speak and reacted, and stopped a little embarrassedly, "Yes Ah, they are residual spirits. "

"Well, if you want to find someone to chat, come to me, I also like to chat."

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

The young man still looked in the direction of the Wei family, and said softly, "I can only maintain this appearance for a short time. As long as I use force, this side..."

He stretched out his hand and tapped one cheek, "It will reveal its original appearance, which is ugly."

"Where is ugly?"

Wei Rou heard the disappointment in his tone and hurriedly comforted him, "It's just a short piece, not ugly at all."

Wei Mingyan turned his head to look at her, and seeing the sincerity in the girl's eyes, a faint smile rose on his lips, "Thank you."

"I've been trying to cover this scar, but I can only cover it at night. You're the first one who said it's not ugly."

Wei Rou looked at his face carefully, afraid of poking his scar, and asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to cover this wound?"

"I didn't have any wounds on my body when I died, but I was ignorant when I became a ghost, and I got hurt here when I was exposed to the sun."

The boy nodded there and smiled bitterly, "Now I'm not afraid of the sun, but the wound is still there. I want to be like a human, but as long as this is exposed, it will only scare those people away."

"And I can't accept myself being so ugly..."

Wei Rou couldn't help but imagine the boy wanting to make friends and carefully covering his wound, just like that day, he covered half of his cheek to keep it secret.

For some reason, she felt a natural closeness to him. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

Suddenly thinking of something, Wei Rou's eyes lit up, "Is it possible to wear anything I burn for you?"

The boy didn't know what she was going to do, but nodded.

Dad and Mom Wei were chatting when their daughter suddenly rushed upstairs. Dad Wei just called out, "Rou Rou, why are you running..."

Wei Rou stretched out her hand, "Dad, let me use your lighter."

Dad Wei gave it to her with a confused look on his face.

Wei Rou ran to her room again, and the couple looked at each other in confusion, "What is this child doing... Hey, Rou Rou, where are you going?"

Twenty minutes later

Wei Rou carefully stepped on the burnt ashes and turned to look at the boy behind him.

He was touching the half mask on his face with some novelty, and when he saw Wei Rou looking at him, he smiled happily.
