“No.”
As expected, Wu Chun was once again pushed away.
Wu Chun wasn’t angry either. He stared at Xu Shi Yao’s evasive gaze for a while, then let out a slow sigh.
It seemed to be much more difficult for Xu Shi Yao to overcome this emotional barrier than he had expected.
“Well, in that case, you can’t hide from me in the future,” Wu Chun said. “If you try to avoid seeing me, I will definitely find a way to reach you.”
After Wu Chun finished speaking, he noticed a slight hesitation in Xu Shi Yao’s eyes.
After careful consideration, Xu Shi Yao agreed to Wu Chun’s request.
“Okay, I won’t avoid you.”
Wu Chun smiled slightly. He leaned his body to the side and rested his head on Xu Shi Yao’s shoulder. At that moment, Wu Chun clearly felt Xu Shi Yao’s body tense up.
The Xu Shi Yao who appeared cold and exuded an aura that kept people at a distance was now surprisingly cautious and apprehensive due to Wu Chun’s small actions.
Wu Chun smiled helplessly.
“I’m tired,” Wu Chun said casually, pretending not to notice. He let out a yawn and deliberately leaned against Xu Shi Yao’s body. “I haven’t slept much in the past few days. Let me take a nap and wake me up later.”
After not being refused, Wu Chun slowly closed his eyes.
At first, Wu Chun didn’t want to sleep. He just wanted to rest his eyes and think about some things.
Perhaps the lack of sleep over the past few days caused Wu Chun to fall asleep shortly after closing his eyes.
In a place where he couldn’t be seen, Xu Shi Yao’s eyes were fixed on Wu Chun’s face as he fell asleep. From his previous evasiveness, they gradually became unrestrained. His finger gently traced across Wu Chun’s cheek, stopping at the faint bluish-black area under Wu Chun’s eyes.
A glimmer of heartbreak flashed in Xu Shi Yao’s eyes. He waved his hand, and a piece of tree bark appeared in front of him, displaying a portrait of Wu Chun next to a sentence he had written: “I may not have personally experienced sunlight, but I have felt the radiance in Wu Chun’s eyes when they look at me.
Based on Xu Shi Yao’s own records, Wu Chun’s eyes should theoretically be clear and bright.
However, in the past few days, the light in Wu Chun’s eyes seemed to have diminished significantly, and he seemed quite tired.
Was it because of him?
Xu Shi Yao felt somewhat guilty and even more heartbroken. His fingers once again covered the depths of Wu Chun’s eyes and gently transferred a surge of energy.
He thought that by doing so, he could alleviate Wu Chun’s fatigue and the pain in his wounds, perhaps it could also alleviate the fatigue in Wu Chun’s eyes.
Sleep well, Xu Shi Yao’s lips slightly curved upwards.
However, Xu Shi Yao didn’t expect that this time, the effect would be exactly the opposite.
Xu Shi Yao had a naturally cold disposition. Wherever he went, the surrounding temperature would drop.
Not to mention the current time, the temperature on the mountain had already dropped.

Wu Chun felt a cool sensation directly piercing his eyes, and he immediately woke up, but he didn’t open his eyes right away.
Wu Chun paused for a moment, felt the slight movement of Xu Shi Yao’s hand on his body, and a sudden thought surged in his heart.
He wanted to pretend to continue sleeping and see what Xu Shi Yao would do next.
However, the hand on his face was suddenly pulled away, and Wu Chun was startled. He wondered if the other person had already realized that he was awake. In the midst of his inner turmoil, Wu Chun felt a hand gently blocking his shoulder. He opened his eyes slightly to see Xu Shi Yao lightly waving his other hand, causing several pieces of bark to appear one after the other.
With his eyes half open, Wu Chun couldn’t make out the contents on the bark. Cautiously, he opened his eyes wider and realized with a feeling of unease that Xu Shi Yao’s attention was not focused on him.
The other person’s hand was still firmly on his shoulder, and Wu Chun maintained this posture, not moving at all as he quickly scanned the recorded information on the tree bark.
To Wu Chun’s astonishment, the things he thought would not be recorded by Xu Shi Yao ended up appearing in great detail on this tree bark.
At that moment, Wu Chun’s heart was filled with a mixture of emotions, especially when he saw Xu Shi Yao’s definition of “liking”. Wu Chun felt a warmth in his eyes.
It was as if all the accumulated gloom of the past few days had instantly vanished, and the worries and concerns that had been weighing on his heart had completely disappeared.
At that moment, a voice in Wu Chun’s heart kept telling him, “Xu Shi Yao likes him, too.
Wu Chun was about to sit up when he saw Xu Shi Yao lightly wave her hand, and a painting vividly appeared on the bark of the tree.
The posture in the painting was similar to their current state.
Xu Shi Yao portrayed himself in a simple way, with most of the brush strokes focused on his own figure. To Wu Chun, Xu Shi Yao seemed to capture only rough shapes, while Wu Chun wanted to depict every single strand of hair with precision.
As soon as Xu Shi Yao’s hand descended and felt his movement, Wu Chun quickly closed his eyes.
As expected, immediately after that, Xu Shi Yao’s hands gently covered his own cheeks.
However, they didn’t linger for long.
When the chill on his face subsided, Wu Chun only heard Xu Shi Yao let out a shallow sigh.
The next moment, Wu Chun heard Xu Shi Yao whisper softly, “Wu Chun, it would be so nice if I could remember you.
Wu Chun’s nose prickled and he suppressed the urge to open his eyes, pretending to be still asleep. He reached out and wrapped his arm around Xu Shi Yao’s waist.
“Wu Chun,” the other person called softly.
Wu Chun didn’t answer. He nuzzled his head against Xu Shi Yao’s neck.
Seeing this, Xu Shi Yao let out a slow breath of relief. He leaned forward slightly, allowing Wu Chun to lean against his chest, and released the other tree barks that contained records about Wu Chun.
These tree barks were arranged in chronological order, just like every night when Xu Shi Yao summoned them.
Xu Shi Yao began to read the contents of the first piece of bark. During undisturbed nights, Xu Shi Yao had gone through them countless times, immersing himself in the recorded details. Every once in a while, he would glance at Wu Chun in his embrace, a smile gradually appearing on his face.
“Wu Chun,” he called softly and contentedly.
It was as if he could seize the opportunity while Wu Chun wasn’t paying attention and was freely looking at him. For Xu Shi Yao, this was an incredibly fulfilling thing.
The Wu Chun who was so aggressive just yesterday suddenly softened at this moment.
He closed his eyes and thought about the contents that had just been recorded on the bark.
Ever since Xu Shi Yao discovered Wu Chun’s thoughts, the most frequently spoken words from Xu Shi Yao to him were: “Leave.”
He had a determined expression on his face, as if he wanted to draw a clear line between them.
Wu Chun had been worried about this before. Even though he knew that Xu Shi Yao had feelings for him, not all feelings were that difficult to let go of.
According to Xu Shi Yao’s statement, he could easily destroy all the records about himself and leave himself with a phrase – “Don’t get close to this person again” – as a warning.
After all, this was what Xu Shi Yao had done before meeting Wu Hun.
Even though he woke up the next day as a completely new person and saw that inexplicable phrase on the bark of the tree, it was inevitable that he would have some doubts.
However, doubts remain doubts.
Xu Shi Yao will still act according to the content inscribed on the tree bark.
Without memories, a full life is impossible. Each day can only be seen as a fragment of life.
From another perspective, the content Xu Shi Yao records on the bark of the tree is like capturing pieces of life. As more and more is recorded on the bark, it indicates that there are gradually more things in life that Xu Shi Yao cares about.
Countless fragments of life are recorded, and before Xu Shi Yao’s eyes they come together to form a complete tapestry of life.
And the main character running through this tapestry is Wuchen.
Wu Chun suddenly finds his own behavior over the past few days somewhat amusing. He has been relentlessly pursuing Xu Shiyl Yao, fearing that the other person is avoiding him.
But he never thought that maybe he can’t bear to let go of Xu Shi Yao either.
He can’t bear to destroy the traces of his presence that have appeared in Xu Shi Yao’s life, and he can’t bear to push himself out of Xu Shi Yao’s world. Besides, Xu Shi Yao is even more afraid of destroying herself.
It’s ridiculous to love someone who’s like a ghost.
Even though the other person has little understanding of the human world, he still feels that he would destroy himself.
So he can only let go of the second “can’t stand it” and endure the first “can’t stand it” on his own in order to solve his own worries and problems.
Perhaps, knowing Xu Shi Yao’s intentions, at this moment, Wu Chun’s fears and worries are gradually being replaced by the surging emotions in his heart.
For Xu Shi Yao, he shouldn’t be too lenient or too harsh, but rather take a gradual approach.
However, Wu Chun hadn’t figured out the details of this gradual approach.
But now, when Wu Chun opens his eyes, he finds himself in close proximity, face to face with Xu Shi Yao.
Obviously, Xu Shi Yao didn’t expect him to wake up so quickly and looked at him with some surprise.
Wu Chun smiled and gently put his hand around Xu Shi Yao’s neck, saying in a flirtatious tone, “Next time you look at me, feel free to do so openly and honestly.
Perhaps my own actions were too sudden, and the other person didn’t have a chance to react.
Wu Chun pretended to be surprised and said to Xu Shi Yao, “Xu Shi Yao, I’m pleasantly surprised. It turns out that I am so important to you.”
For the first time, Wu Chun sees a faint blush on Xu Shi Yao’s somewhat pale face.
This “ghost” from the extremely cold world seems to have embraced the warmth of the human world.
Wu Chun’s smile freezes on his face. After a while, imitating Xu Shi Yao, he gently touches Xu Shi Yao’s cheek with his hand.
Suddenly, a rooster’s crow can be heard from the foot of the mountain.
Xu Shi Yao turns his face to the side.
“It’s time for you to go back.”
Wu Chun looks at the lingering blush on Xu Shi Yao’s face and finally decides to compromise and take a step back for now.
“You won’t avoid me, right?” Wu Chun asks.
After a while, Xu Shi Yao nods softly.
“My foot hurts.” Wu Chun rubs his ankle and looks at Xu Shi Yao pitifully, the implication is clear.
Xu Shi Yao understands his meaning as well. He grabs Wu Chun’s waist and carries him down from the tree.
“Someone is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain.”
Wu Chun is surprised, but quickly realizes that his grandfather said he would come to get him.
Grandfather is down the mountain, so Xu Shi Yao can only stop here.
“Then I’ll go back first.”
After saying that, Wu Chun hobbled down the mountain. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turns around and solemnly says to Xu Shi Yao, “Xu Shi Yao, don’t feel guilty. Even if you can’t remember, you’ve never forgotten me. And as for me liking you, I don’t need the approval of this world.
A soybean:
I’m back!!!
There’s nothing wrong with being in love with ghosts. You see, there are so many ghosts that I still love. Such as my baby, who was such a good boy (still is). I buried his small body on my own.
