"On the first Sunday in May, the temperature rises and the weather is fine. It is suitable for travel, vacation, and shopping together. Friends of Aries and Libra will have good luck with half-price discounts for their favorite items. Please remember to bring your wallet. Friends of Taurus and Sagittarius, congratulations Your love luck is about to reach the peak value of this month, so please work hard, I wish you a smooth date and full marks for love~”
Following the deliberately protracted tone at the end, the ending music played on the TV, and the divination program was announced to end in the animation of the twelve constellations, followed by a morning drama about girls' inspirational stories.
Bai Ze waited until the words "see you next week" appeared, then raised the cold milk bottle and drank it in one gulp: "The TV is too noisy."
His disguise failed, and anyone could tell that he got up early to watch Phoenix's divination.
From the moment Momotaro turned on the TV, he used the hot milk as an excuse to lean against the kitchen door and peek for nearly 10 minutes, watching the content of the program that he had sniffed at before from the beginning to the end.
As an honest and considerate subordinate, Momotaro really wanted to tell him that if you want to watch it, please sit down on a chair and watch it, there is no need to put on a show in front of your own people, but in view of Bai Ze's almost weird behavior these days, he Still decided to shut up.
Because recently, his boss has been so abnormal that both humans and gods are angry, and even the little rabbits are worried whether he has a fever and damaged his head.
Let's say the day before yesterday, Momotaro and the interns went to eat at the newly opened cafe, and when they were about to pay the bill, they found that they didn't have enough money, so they called Bai Ze for help.They naively thought that their boss would arrive soon with money, but they waited for an hour and there was no sign of anyone, and the call was a busy signal, and then there was no answer at all, if Kintaro happened to pass by and paid for their meal, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back until the next day.
At that time, Momotaro was terrified, thinking that there must be a big event in the full moon of bliss, such as robbers or Bai Ze's ex-girlfriend teamed up to beat him up, but when he and the interns rushed through the door holding a pestle, they just watched When Bai Ze was lying on the bed in a large font, staring at the phone in a daze, he called him several times but there was no response, not even a word of apology or explanation.
It's just little things.
Recently, the TV station rebroadcasted Maki and Miki's photography program "Jailor for a Day".Although the protagonists are two girl idols, the appearance rate of ghost lights must be very high in this kind of introduction program.
When it was broadcast in the past, Bai Ze must have rushed to turn off the TV the first second he saw the ghost lamp, and then flipped through several swimsuit magazines, euphemistically called "purifying the eyes".But this time, he stared at the TV very seriously and watched the whole process, not even blinking his eyes when there were ghost lights appearing in the scene, during which he mistook the rice for a soup bowl, and his face was covered with rice grains without knowing it.
In addition, he would sneak out to answer the phone for a period of time every day. His quick movements and sneaky demeanor made him look like a primary school student who was dating behind his parents' backs, making it difficult to look directly at.
Originally, it's normal for an adult to fall in love. Even if the other party's identity is a bit strange and the grudges have deepened in the past, it is not a problem in front of love.But Bai Ze insisted on pretending to be troubled, and every time he finished the phone call, he would stage a clumsy drama that there was no money in this place for two or three thousand.
Telephone bill inquiries, credit card bills, boring telemarketing calls—these are all his usual excuses, as if the business calls in the entire kingdom of heaven are concentrated this week.
It's the salesman who has a ghost.Momotaro squinted silently: Don't laugh when you have the ability to answer the phone!
In contrast, the reaction of the other party was much more normal.
Even though the heat on the bulletin board has gradually faded, for at least two months, the ghost lamp has been the object of attention of all the ghost soldiers in Yan Modian.Even so, when Momotaro went to Yan Modian to deliver medicinal materials, he did not hide the fact that he was trying to date Bai Ze, and his demeanor and behavior were as natural as usual, neither avoiding deliberately nor publicizing, completely mature people Approach.
Although Momotaro's awe of him is far greater than others, but in this matter, he feels that it is easier to communicate with the ghost lamp.
"With all due respect, just talking on the phone doesn't really do much to...enhance understanding or something. Don't you consider going to the Blissful Full Moon?"
"I applied for vacation on Sunday, so I have to get rid of next week's work before then." Ghost Lantern pointed to the pile of documents beside him, "It would be nice if I could spare time to make a phone call."
"Then can I ask what you guys are talking about?" Momotaro scratched his hair with a smile, "Although I guessed it a long time ago, I still feel a little unbelievable when I witnessed it with my own eyes."
"Remind that idiot not to wear his usual private clothes on Sunday. After all, this is no longer the era of Oda Yuji wearing a long trench coat, but the world of Attachment and lotholon." Gui Deng sighed softly, "Also, it's easy to guess ?"
"It's very easy." Momotaro closed one eye, and bowed to him, "Please don't tell Shirasawa-sama, he really thinks he's hiding it well."
It's a pity that this, like a cold, cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try.Even if it is true as the ghost lamp said, they are still in the stage of trial and effect, but love is love, and once it starts, it will take root and sprout.
There is no need to guess.As early as when the ghost lantern said "Barus" and pinched Shirasawa's fingers, Momotaro wanted to cover Shiro and Kakisuke's eyes, so as not to be misled by this strange couple.
He discovered it very early, and the interns were not surprised, but it was too long to wait until the day they admitted it.
Fortunately, it's never too late to fall in love.Especially after setting a date, time seems to be very, very slow.
The morning of the first Sunday in May was warm and comfortable. It was rare for Bai Ze to wake up early. He got out of bed before dawn, and made a series of preparations for going out.
It only took more than an hour to comb hair, wash, iron suits, read divination, and read travel and shopping guides.
"Why isn't it even eight o'clock?" After changing his clothes, he yawned and checked the hour hand, "Did the clock stop?"
"You woke up too early." Momotaro explained helplessly, "Actually, you can sleep a little longer."
"I can't sleep anymore." He pulled out a rocking chair, put the travel magazine on his lap, and lay down under the peach tree outside the door of the pharmacy to doze off.
Soon there was a sound of children playing from the back of the house. It was the students from the prison Jiaore Elementary School who came to the hot spring for a mid-term spring outing.
Bai Ze rented his hot spring bath to the school for a good price of 60 yuan. One-third of the money was used for the operation of the pharmacy, and he used the rest to buy clothes.
At this moment, he was wearing the famous brand suit known as "Tokyo young people's favorite brand", fell into a rocking chair and dozed off, and children's screams and laughter could be heard from time to time from behind the house, which was as loud as the fireworks show Disneyland.
"Is it too noisy?" Momotaro asked tentatively, "Do you need earplugs?"
"No need." Bai Ze waved at him, "Children are very cute."
He closed his eyes and sank into the blanket, the spring sunshine cast down from the cracks in the trees above his head, and it was warm and itchy on his face, as if someone was scratching gently with his fingertips.
"You are well-behaved and obedient, and will watch you fly away after you get help."
He swayed leisurely with the swing of the rocking chair, talking to himself dreamily, until a shadow covered his eyes, blocking all the light that could touch his cheek.
Bai Ze opened his eyes slightly, and after seeing who was standing in front of him, he turned his head and muttered softly:
"Why are you not cute when you grow up?"
He stood up from the rocking chair in a very chic posture, with his hands in his pockets, intentionally or unintentionally showing off the well-tailored designer suit on his body.
"Your Excellency, Assistant Officer, who is born to work hard, I remember that the appointment time is ten o'clock."
"It's hard for you to remember." Ghost Lantern spread his hands, "But I really don't want to walk with the palette in the old man's dog-walking outfit, so I have to come here in advance to appraise your dressing taste today so that I can correct it in time."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Bai Ze proudly tugged on his tie, "Today I am in perfect fashion from head to toe."
He made a special trip to Tokyo yesterday, visited all the brand stores that are "loved by young people in the new era", and reluctantly gave up the color matching that he is proud of, leaving all the choices to the shopping guide.
His ultimate trophy, a blue-and-gray checkered suit with a printed back vest, light blue shirt and burgundy tie, feels good about himself.Now that he saw that Ghost Lantern was only wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, he was even more confident and felt that he was superior in skills.
"It seems that your IQ is only enough for one place." Ghost Lantern rubbed his chin to examine his clothes, "You actually dressed like you were attending a sorority party."
"Idiot who doesn't know how to appreciate it! This is the Burberry black label, okay!" Bai Ze lifted up his suit jacket with a contemptuous face, "The most popular brand among young people in Tokyo!"
"That's right, it might be popular at other times, but today—" Ghost Lantern took out the phone, pressed it a few times, and handed it to him.
"The forecast shows that the maximum temperature will reach [-] degrees Celsius. Are you going to take off while walking?"
In the thousand-year-long, almost uninterrupted battle between Bai Ze and the ghost lamp, no matter which aspect of the comparison, it seems that Bai Ze is always the one who loses in the end.
Just like this time, after he watched the temperature forecast on Ghost Lantern's mobile phone three times, even though he was very unwilling, he still had to obediently go back and change his clothes.
The handsome and easy-going three-piece designer suit can only be kept in the closet. He changed into a simple T-shirt and cotton trousers, and then found a pair of fisherman shoes. In an instant, he was no different from an ordinary young man walking on the street.
When Bai Ze walked out of the bedroom, Ghost Lantern was sitting in the outer hall tasting the spring tea poured by Momotaro, while looking at his Western monster mirror with very strange eyes.
Since the warehouse has not been tidied up, the mirror has been placed behind the potted plants in the outer hall of the pharmacy for the past few days, and the poster of Duoyipo is still tightly pasted on it, which looks particularly out of place among the pile of lush plants and antique medicine pots. and.
"I didn't expect you to be so interested in Duoyipo's portrait." Ghost Lantern said thoughtfully, "I still have a dozen gifts here, so I might as well pass them on to you."
Bai Ze immediately made a gesture of rejection: "Thank you, you'd better keep yourself and enjoy it slowly."
In fact, he also felt that the poster was unsightly, but the mirror didn't know how to read words, and if he accidentally told a lie, it would be terrible to be mocked by it in front of the ghost lamp.
The spells of Western goblins can imitate the tone and thinking of the person in the mirror.Bai Ze has a frivolous personality and a very kind heart, so the words spoken by the mirror are light and shallow, so as not to be too unpleasant, but mild dissent is also an opposition to speech, and it can still make him half dead.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze couldn't reach out his hand to take off the poster.
He looked around, trying to change the subject of the half-naked poster, but it happened that Ghost Lantern brought a pair of thermos cups, so the conversation naturally turned to this thing: "What's in it?"
"drinks."
"In the high temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, you still need to bring your own drinks?" Bai Ze seized the opportunity and laughed, "It seems that your salary is really impressive, is it [-] a month?"
Momotaro, who was cooking medicine at the side, cast a resentful look at him when he heard the words: The full-time round-the-clock here is only [-] yuan, okay!Why do you want to belittle my four months' salary in a calm tone!
"If you have to say it, it's really not very high." Ghost Lantern unscrewed a thermos cup, and the indescribable smell similar to boiling brains immediately filled the entire outer hall, "but it's still more than enough compared to the pervert who is idle all day long." .”
"Ha, is it?"
An interesting idea quickly popped up in Bai Ze's mind, "I'll find out later if you're lying."
As he spoke, he bent down and moved a few potted plants, then carefully walked around behind the mirror, and tore off the poster bit by bit from above.The mirror surface that Momotaro has carefully wiped is as clean as new, and even the carving patterns are spotless. Just looking at the appearance, no one would have guessed that this exquisite and beautiful western antique has a funny magic attached to it.
This is a Western sorcery that can easily make people fly into a rage.If the liar is a mean and cruel devil, the mirror can give the harshest sneers and taunts with ten times his viciousness.
"Hey, Mr. Shoebill over there." Bai Ze snickered and hid behind the mirror, only showing a pair of eyes, "Your hat seems to be a little crooked."
"There are still four and ten minutes before the departure time. I don't have time to play childish games of peek-a-boo with you here."
"No, it's really a little crooked." Bai Ze waved a flowering gentian at him, "If you don't believe me, come and look in the mirror."
From what he knew, Ghost Lamp had an almost obsessive-compulsive obsession with his appearance, and he would never allow the slightest deviation.Sure enough, he really stood up and walked to the mirror, and began to check the navy blue peaked cap on his head.
good chance!
Bai Ze immediately grabbed the mirror, and hurriedly asked, "How much salary does Yan Modian offer?"
"Didn't you say it, it's a little higher than you doing nothing here."
The mirror in front of him didn't respond, it seemed that the ghost lamp was telling the truth.
Given such a good opportunity, Bai Ze certainly wouldn't ask him silly questions like how much his monthly salary is.He quietly showed a smirk, and slowly poked his head out from behind the bronze mirror.
"Hey," he deliberately lowered his voice, "I said on the phone yesterday that I could go on a date. Are you happy to hear that?"
"A little bit."
Ghost Lantern took off his hat, and picked out a peach petal that fell in from the folds of the side decoration, "But don't worry, it didn't meet your expectations."
How much do I expect?
Bai Ze thought for a while, and soon he was frightened into a cold sweat by the unknown object with a paralyzed face dancing and yelling in his mind.
"Uh... let's change the question." He leaned on the mirror and stared at the ghost lamp, "If I found the ticket that time and I went to the appointment on time, what are you going to do?"
"A meaningless question." The assistant on the opposite side combed the curled hair with his fingers, and then put the hat back on, "Because I don't think you can find that ticket with your mind."
The mirror still didn't respond, indicating that he was still telling the truth.Bai Ze was so angry that his teeth itched, and he almost flipped the bronze mirror over: "You know I don't know how to read that novel, but you put the invitation in the book, are you an idiot!? And what kind of attitude is this, the one who confessed first is obviously You, I am the one sitting on the tilted end of the scale and looking down!"
"Not so."
Ghost Lamp raised his right hand, and said in a serious tone like an interview at an official press conference: "I'm not the one who confessed first."
The diorama was as calm as ever, and it didn't have the slightest reaction it should have when it heard a lie.Bai Ze stared at him blankly, and asked after a long time, "How is it possible?"
He couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, his thoughts were already in a mess, and various laws of love were flying around, colliding back and forth in his mind.
It was Ghost Lantern who invited first, the one who called first was also Ghost Lantern, and it was Ghost Lantern who took the initiative to kiss him at the hell festival. Why did the monster mirror who discerns lies say that he was not the one who confessed first! ?
"Is there something wrong with the mirror?"
Bai Ze frowned, and tried to tap the calm mirror with his fist, while Ghost Lantern next to him took out his pocket watch and pocketbook, and began to check the travel schedule.
"There are still 24 minutes until the departure." He adjusted his collar for the last time, "I think we can set off."
"Wait!" Bai Ze reluctantly grabbed his sleeve and dragged him back to the mirror, "There is one last question!"
He coughed, and from the corner of his eye, he made sure that Momotaro and the interns were busy not far away, and then asked in a low voice, "Did you do that at the Yulan Festival last time?"
He was confident that Ghost Lantern would lie on this issue, after all, he had already denied it twice, and Momotaro and the others were around, so it was impossible for him to admit it at this time.
Bai Ze imagined for a moment the scene of him being ridiculed by his own shadow, and almost laughed out loud, and his eyes curved into beautiful arcs accordingly.
"What's the matter?"
Look, I really started to pretend to be stupid.
Bai Ze pointed to his lips triumphantly: "That's it, this one."
"Is that right?"
Gui Deng picked up the thermos cup and took a sip, then reached out and grabbed Bai Ze's red string earrings, and dragged him to him.
Without warning, he squeezed Bai Ze's jaw tightly, and pressed down a wet and unexpected kiss just like during the hell sacrifice.
Before Bai Ze could react, the teeth had already been pushed open by the tip of his tongue, and then a strange liquid poured from his mouth, dripping along the corners of his mouth onto the newly hand-painted T-shirt.
He was half-pressed in the arms of the other party in an awkward position, his nose was pinched again, and the fangs of ghosts and gods gritted at the corners of his lips, causing a little unbearable itchiness.For a moment, it was as if the time was reversed, they kissed each other like last time, one plundered as much as they wanted, and the other was poured into something more terrible than spicy civet cat soup when he couldn't breathe.It's just that this time the zero o'clock bell has not sounded for a long time, and the end of this kiss can never be foreseen.
The evil ghost's breath was very cold, but his mouth was unexpectedly warm, and when he kissed Bai Ze, he discovered something that made him even more depressed - this bastard's skills were very good.
He wanted to curse, but couldn't make a sound; he wanted to ask Momotaro for help, but the other party had already turned his back and covered the eyes of the little rabbit beside him.
Don't look, don't look, that strange couple is biasing other people's view of love again.
When the ghost lamp finally let go of him, Bai Ze thought that he would never taste the taste of breathing again in his life.
"Ten nine minutes." His pocket watch was still wrapped around his finger. "We might have to run it."
"You lied." Bai Ze gasped and covered his lips, only to feel a strange heat erupting from the tip of his tongue, gradually climbing up his entire cheek, "You said that you would not kiss me even if you were hallucinating."
"Yes."
The blushing and breathless ghost nodded in acknowledgment, and reached out to flick him on the forehead: "But it wasn't an illusion just now."
Bai Ze was stunned for a few seconds, and when the blush on his face was about to reach its peak, he yelled angrily: "You failed Chinese, bastard!!"
"Your relationship psychology is just as bad."
Ghost Lantern picked up the thermos cup on the table, and took a last look at his pocket watch: "Ten and seven minutes."
He pushed open the gate of the Bliss Full Moon, and threw Bai Ze's backpack on his shoulders: "Then let's go."
During his accurate timekeeping, Bai Ze kept yelling about his drink, as if his face would explode from the heat if he didn't keep talking.
"What the hell is that thing just now? What ingredients did you add to make it taste so weird!? If you lie to me again, I will beat you!"
Amidst Bai Ze's unilateral quarrel, they walked towards the entrance of the world, fighting, pushing and pinching along the way, and their figures gradually disappeared into the peach forest in Taoyuan Township, which was as bright as clouds.
Obviously he has gone a long way, but Momotaro still seems to be able to hear Bai Ze asking what the taste of what he just drank is.
He lowered his hands covering the rabbit's eyes and sighed towards their backs.
He hasn't realized it until now, but his boss is indeed a love idiot.
What is the taste?
Of course it's the taste of love, my lord.
