Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Six

Xu Youyou couldn't figure out why those two people, one white and one black, wanted to save her. On the day she threw herself into the river, her mother took her home from the hospital and cried until dawn in her bedroom.She hugged her daughter tightly and didn't let go for a moment, as if she was afraid that she would disappear suddenly. Xu Youyou leaned in her mother's arms, feeling deep regret in her heart.What would she do if she walked away and left her mother alone in the world? Xu Youyou said: "Mom, don't worry, no matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter, I will never leave you!"

Mom nodded her head vigorously, and said something like this: "Good boy, thank you, thank you!" After brushing shoulders with death, Xu Youyou seemed to be suffering from a serious illness, and became more cherishing of this world.She bought many pots of chrysanthemums, yellow, white, and purple, and placed them at home, and her life suddenly became full of vitality. A few days later, my mother went to work.She would call Xu Youyou a few times every day, worrying that something might happen to her.In fact, Xu Youyou became more optimistic day by day, which made my mother very relieved.

Xu Youyou still seldom went out, she was wearing the white dress she wore on the day of her suicide, chatting with those flowers alone at home.In her eyes, these flowers are her kind and friends. Today, the sun is very good.Xu Youyou turned on the phone and sent a text message to Gao Xuan: Can you come to my house to meet? Gao Xuan immediately replied: Good! No matter what the person in the eyelid said, it could no longer prevent Xu Youyou from dating Gao Xuan.She felt that she was too cowardly in the past, and she had to learn to resist. Half an hour later, Gao Xuan arrived. After not seeing each other for many days, after opening the door, Xu Youyou was a little shy. She smiled at Gao Xuan, and she felt that her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

Gao Xuan patted her face, and said, "Your smile is as beautiful as a flower." Xu Youyou was extremely happy and said, "I bought a lot of chrysanthemums." Gao Xuan went in and changed his shoes, and said, "I guess, there are yellow ones, some white ones, and some purple ones—right?" Xu Youyou closed the door and said in surprise, "How do you know?" Gao Xuan said: "I reckon, you don't like multi-colored chrysanthemums." Xu Youyou said: "Yes, I like purity. Then can you guess what tea I made for you?" Gao Xuan said, "Chrysanthemum tea."

Xu Youyou: "We really hit it off and have supernatural powers..." The two came to the upstairs bedroom, sat on the futon, had a pot of chrysanthemum tea and two Nanni cups, drinking and chatting. Xu Youyou said: "Gao Xuan, do you know why I committed suicide?" Gao Xuan said, "Because of your father?" Xu Youyou said: "That's one aspect. A few days ago, after I closed my eyes, I could always see a person who seemed real and illusory. He wouldn't let me associate with you..." Gao Xuan said, "I know who he is." Xu Youyou was stunned: "Really?"

Gao Xuan said, "Really." Xu Youyou looked at Gao Xuan affectionately, and said after a while: "He shakes the tree with a gnat, and I am deeply rooted, so he can't do anything to me." Gao Xuan nodded and said, "I believe it." Then, he glanced at the clock on the wall and asked softly, "When will your mother come back?" Xu Youyou said, "She's still early from get off work." Gao Xuan suddenly rushed over to hold her face, and kissed her frantically. This was Xu Youyou's first kiss with the opposite sex, and a strong breath of love made her dizzy.She froze, not knowing whether to open her mouth or shut it up.In her astonishment, Gao Xuan stopped and asked out of breath, "Are you the only one in your family?"

Xu Youyou murmured, "Besides me, there are those chrysanthemums..." Gao Xuan said: "That means your mother is back!" Xu Youyou said, "Impossible." Gao Xuan said: "Listen..." Xu Youyou listened, and indeed there were footsteps downstairs.She stood up in a panic, wiped her mouth, and whispered, "Just wait, I'll go and have a look." She came to the stairs, looked down, and her head exploded with a "bang" - Dad was downstairs!He was standing on the living room rug, looking up at her.On a hot day, he was wearing a black suit, which Xu Youyou had never seen before!

She really wanted to rush down, but she couldn't move her feet: "Dad..." Dad smiled and asked, "baby, what are you doing?" She thought for a while, then suddenly asked him, "Where did you come from?" Dad said: "Eight Treasure Cemetery!" Xu Youyou got up with a "hula", this black suit is his father's shroud!At the memorial service, Dad wore it and lay quietly among the green leaves, looking both familiar and strange.After all, the clothes were only worn by Dad for a few hours before being pushed into the cremation furnace... She stared blankly at this longing man, at a loss for what to do.

Dad pointed to Xu Youyou's room and said, "Youyou, is there a man in our house?" Xu Youyou's face became hot, and he whispered, "It's...my friend." Dad restrained his smile, lowered his voice, and said word by word: "He is here to harm you!" Xu Youyou was stunned: "Why do you say that?" Dad said, "I'm from that world, and I know everything!" that world?Xu Youyou finally understood that the person downstairs was an undead, and she saw her father's undead! Her heart suddenly became harder than steel: "What will happen if I continue to be with him without hesitation?"

Dad gritted his teeth and said, "You will die!" Xu Youyou had never seen her father's expression so cruel before. She shook her head vigorously, but her father was still there, waiting for her to express his opinion with his face up.She turned around and ran into the bedroom, pulled Gao Xuan out, and whispered: "Gao Xuan, look below..." Dad seemed to have seen a sworn enemy, his eyes burst out with anger, and he fixed Gao Xuan firmly.Gao Xuan also stared straight at him.There was an eerie silence in the room. Xu Youyou tugged on Gao Xuan's sleeve: "What's wrong with you?"

Gao Xuan asked in a low voice: "Who is he?" Obviously, he also saw his dead father... Xu Youyou said: "He is... my father!" Gao Xuan still stared at him and said, "Isn't he dead?" Xu Youyou quickly looked at her father, she wanted to see his reaction after hearing this.Dad raised his arm, pointed at Gao Xuan like a wooden stick, and shouted: "You, get out of my house immediately!" Gao Xuan suddenly smiled angrily: "Why?" Dad said, "No reason! My daughter won't marry you!" Gao Xuan was still laughing: "Xu Bureau, can you ask your daughter to make a statement?" Dad turned his face to Xu Youyou: "Youyou, do you listen to Dad?" On one side was her father who suddenly reappeared like a nightmare, and on the other was Xu Youyou's beloved Gao Xuan, she was at a loss.After staying for a while, she stammered and said to Gao Xuan: "You... go back..." Gao Xuan restrained the naughty smile on his face, and was stunned. Dad said to Gao Xuan: "Get out of here, and never step into my house again, otherwise, I will let you die!" After finishing speaking, he walked into the study angrily, closed the door with a "slap", and the whole house They all seemed to shake a bit. Gao Xuan's face became extremely ugly, and he whispered: "Then I... will go first." Xu Youyou's eyes became wet all at once: "Gao Xuan!" Gao Xuan reluctantly smiled at her, and said, "Call me." Then, he "thumped" to the door, changed his shoes, didn't even tie the shoelaces, opened the anti-theft door and went out. Xu Youyou came downstairs slowly, and knocked on the door of the study while crying.She felt that her father was still alive, and he was angry. As a daughter, she had to go and apologize. There was no response from the study. She knocked again, still no response. She gently pushed the door open, but didn't see her father, only his portrait.He was wearing the black suit and smiling slightly. Xu Youyou put his hands on the desk, stared at his father in the portrait for a long time, finally left the study, and went upstairs in a daze. She found that in a blink of an eye, all the chrysanthemums in the house withered.
