I went in and put my backpack on the bedside table, "Why are you here? Doesn't Grandpa have to wait until twelve o'clock in the evening to come back?"

Ci Yuan raised his eyes and looked at me, "Boring, I knew you would come to join in the fun, so I came here in advance. Don't you really want to see me?"

"No, I was just surprised. I thought you were very busy." Even if he can't practice at the moment, he should have other things to do, right?

Ci Yuan waved to me, as if summoning kittens and puppies, "What are you busy with? The sacrifice is not around, and it was poisoned, and the cat can't be found."

I walked towards him and sat on the edge of the bed, "Are you looking for that damn black cat?"

Ci Yuan grabbed my hand and squeezed my fingers, "I chased it that night. After it went up the mountain, it escaped by taking advantage of its size. I have not been able to find it yet."

"Pinching your fingers is so fun?" In the past few days, he came to the dormitory every night and took me to the bottom of the lake. After lying down, he started pinching my fingers and playing with them.

"Um...why did I..." Ciyuan seemed to be doing this subconsciously, and his face turned slightly red after I brought it up.

"Are you shy?" It turns out that a demon can blush. This is the first time I've seen one, so it's inevitable that I don't see many monsters around, so I kept staring at him.

"Who said that!" Ci Yuan refused to admit, "How could I be shy? Why should I be shy? Don't talk nonsense!"

"But your face is red, but it looks good this way." I teased him deliberately, but I really meant what I meant.

Ci Yuan actually pursed his lips and chuckled, "Do you like it?"

I thought he was cooperating with me, so I nodded, "I like it."

Unexpectedly, Ciyuan asked me very gently, "How much do you like it?"

"Huh?" I looked at him too affectionately and felt something was wrong, "What happened to you today? Is it because of the poison?"

"Xuan'er, let me hug you..." Sure enough, Ci Yuan suddenly hugged me and called out the name that didn't belong to me.

What kind of poison is this? Why does he always think of me as someone else? Is there such a thing as a substitute poison?

I was afraid that he would be more seriously bewitched, so I quickly reached out to push him, but he hugged him too tightly, and my little strength was useless.

Miraculously, as soon as I started struggling, the mark on my forehead started to feel hot, and I subconsciously reached out and rubbed it gently.

When I came to my senses, the mark was just hot but not painful. There was no need to rub it. I quickly took my hand back and continued to push Yuan away.

The strange thing is that this time I pushed him away easily. I wonder if he thought I had given up and was not prepared.

I took the opportunity to stand up and quickly took a few steps forward to distance myself from him, "Ciyuan, you are still a great demon, why are you so useless!"

Ci Yuan frowned and looked at me with displeasure, "Why do you slander me like this?"

It seemed that he was awake, "You don't remember, hey... what kind of poison is this, and when will it be cured!"

Ci Yuan was in a daze for another moment, "Why, I called you another name again? Or did I do something else to you?"

"You hugged me and called me Xuan'er, but then I pushed you away." When I said this, I got angry, "Can you have some self-control? It's very embarrassing!"

Ci Yuan even took the initiative to apologize to me, "Sorry..."

I took the opportunity to make a request, "How about we meet as little as possible until the poison is cured?"

Ci Yuan saw through my thoughts at once, "Do you want to use this to get rid of me?"

I really want to strive for a normal life, but I am afraid that he will be angry and dare not admit, "I am doing this for your own good, and I am not the one who was poisoned!"

Ci Yuan's eyes sternly said, "You have given up on this idea, and the poison arose because of you. Even if I did do something to you, you still deserve it!"

I was speechless!

***

midnight.

Eleven thirty.

I was woken up by the alarm on my cell phone, got up, cleaned myself up, and then went to the main room.

My dad craned his neck and looked behind him, "What about Jiaolong? Didn't you say he had promised to come tonight?"

I shook my head, "I don't know. He was there when I arrived in the evening, and then left again. Maybe something happened."

I was embarrassed to talk about what happened between me and Ci Yuan, so I had to find an excuse. In fact, it was okay if he wasn't here, at least I wouldn't be so embarrassed.

People without yin and yang eyes need to use a medium to see ghosts, such as cow tears. My dad put cow tears in my eyes.

There are still some ways for ordinary people to see ghosts, but this is the simplest. I am not interested in other ghosts, so I didn’t ask my dad.

There were quite a few people here today, and there were not so many chairs in the main room. Everyone sat down according to their seniority, and naturally juniors like me could only stand.

But there's one thing I'm curious about. My dad said before that my third uncle was on his way back, but it was almost twelve o'clock and I didn't see him.

My dad happened to be standing next to me, and I asked him in a low voice, "Where is my third uncle? Why isn't he here for such an important occasion tonight?"

My dad glanced at the Sixth Grandfather first, and then lowered his voice and said, "Your Sixth Grandfather asked him to do other things on the way, and he won't be back for a while."

The reason why the third uncle came back at first was because of the great-grandfather's affairs. Now that the funeral affairs have been taken care of and the sixth great-uncle is here, he really doesn't need to be in a hurry to come back.

I thought Ci Yuan wasn't coming, but when it was almost twelve o'clock, he walked in with his long legs. This was the first time he didn't appear out of thin air.

There was no one of Liu Taiping's generation in the family, and one of the two main seats was still vacant. Ci Yuan sat on it without saying anything, and he was not polite at all.

The Sixth Grand Duke poured him a cup of tea and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

Ci Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "An old immortal died suddenly. His death was strange and he transformed into a corpse and was controlled by a demon. How could I not see such a joke?"

The two of them drank tea and chatted comfortably, while we waited quietly, but a while passed and nothing happened.

The uncles began to whisper, and finally my dad spoke on behalf of everyone, "Uncle Six, it's already half past twelve."

The Sixth Grandfather still acted like an old god, "Don't worry, wait a moment."

Ci Yuan glanced sideways at him, "You are quite calm!"

The Sixth Grand Duke was also quite thick-skinned, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat, "This is called being calm and collected. Do you think I am like you?"

Ci Yuan looked unhappy, "What's wrong with me? Your tone is so disgusting!"

The Sixth Grand Duke took a sip of tea and said, "I don't even know how many years a monster has lived, but he still has the temper of a child!"

"Pfft..." I couldn't help laughing. Realizing that the situation was wrong, I quickly shut up and lowered my head to pretend to be dead.

Fortunately, Ci Yuan didn't care and continued to bicker with the Sixth Grand Duke. What they said made people laugh but they had to hold it back.

Another half hour passed like this. If they weren't joking, we would all have dozed off, but my great-grandpa still didn't show up.
