Chapter 10 Wu Yu and Xin Luo's Love 4. Increased feelings
In the early morning, Wu Yu vaguely felt Yunyun get up and go out. He wanted to ask her something, but he felt sleepy and fell asleep again. In the silence, Wu Yu slowly woke up, opened his eyes, looked at the still dark room, and yawned lazily. At that moment, Wu Yu felt tired, even though he had just woken up.
Since he came to the ancient town, he has not had a peaceful sleep. He has some doubts: If he really can't find the truth, will he spend his whole life like this at night and never be able to sleep peacefully? If that is the case, it would be terrible. For him, it would be worse than death.
As he was thinking about random things, the sound of rain outside the door continued, soft and sporadic yet continuous, disrupting his thoughts in time.
At this moment, the phone rang. Wu Yu was a little surprised. He fumbled on the bed for a while and took it to see. It turned out to be Yunyun calling. Wu Yu pressed the answer keypad, and Yunyun asked gently on the other end: "Have you had lunch?"
Wu Yu suddenly came to his senses and thought to himself: How could I sleep so late and still not know about it? What would Yunyun think if she knew? After a pause, he decided to tell Yunyun the truth: "Not yet."
"Today, Niao Niao, I and the students went for an outing in the suburbs. You can go to school for lunch. Xinluo is busy at school and it seems that he needs your help with something." Wu Yu heard a lot of noise coming from Yunyun's side, which seemed to be the cheers of students.
"Oh, I see." Wu Yu had a question mark in his mind, wondering what kind of help Xinluo needed from him. But then he thought, this way he would have some time to spend alone with Xinluo. Wu Yu was a little excited.
"That's fine, it's too noisy here." Yunyun seemed to be having a lot of fun. She hung up the phone impatiently without waiting for Wu Yu to reply.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yu quickly got up, washed, picked up the Xishi umbrella and went out.
As soon as he stepped into the street, his cell phone suddenly rang again. Wu Yu was unhappy and wondered why Yunyun was so talkative. He took out his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar call. The number seemed to be a local number in the ancient town. Wu Yu felt a little strange, but he still answered it.
"Brother Yu, are you free to come over now?" A soft girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Wu Yu was stunned.
"I'm Meihua. The photos have been developed. You can come and get them. It's just that..." Seeing that Wu Yu didn't say anything, the person on the other end wanted to continue talking but stopped.
"Just what? What's wrong with the photo?" Wu Yu was surprised.
"It's nothing. You'll know when you come and take a look." The Chinese woman seemed to have some reservations and was reluctant to say some words.
"Okay, I'll hurry over now." Wu Yu hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the photo studio. As he walked, he wondered if it was... When he thought of the dark photo from last time, he suddenly panicked.
Wu Yu hurried to the photo studio and saw Meihua eating lunch. Without taking a breath, he started asking, "What's going on?"
Meihua looked at Wu Yu and suddenly smiled strangely: "I think you may have met a ghost."
Wu Yu was shocked when he heard this, and stammered, "That shouldn't be the case."
"If you don't believe me, take a look." The Chinese woman said as she handed him some photos.
When Wu Yu saw the photos, he was terrified. All the photos were blank. Wu Yu was stunned and began to doubt Xin Luo. Could it be that Xin Luo was really... The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Meihua, are you going to mess it up or..." Wu Yu murmured.
"How could it happen this time? I'm sure there's something wrong with your photo, but I don't know what you took?"
"this……"
"Are you taking photos of a weird ghost wedding in an ancient town?"
Wu Yu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Hua Nv and asked, "Do you also know about ghost marriage?"
"I think everyone who was born in the ancient town knows that this custom exists in the ancient town. When people from outside come here and see this custom, they feel curious, so some people take pictures, but they don't expect that all the pictures they take are blank. However, there is a kind of people who don't know how to take pictures..."
"What kind of people?"
"A dying man."
When Wu Yu heard this, he was startled and his legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand.
Wu Yu was still in shock when suddenly a strange voice rang out. Meihua smiled apologetically and said to Wu Yu, "Excuse me, I need to answer the phone."
Ms. Hua answered the phone and walked in mysteriously, looking back from time to time, fearing that Wu Yu would follow her and eavesdrop.
Wu Yu only heard her whispering. After a while, she came out and said to Wu Yu with an apologetic look, "I'm so sorry that the second photo development turned out like this."
"This can't be entirely your fault..." Wu Yu felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind Hua Nu, but he couldn't figure out what it was and had no way of knowing.
Wu Yu was about to leave when his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a stranger calling. Wu Yu was a little confused, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he answered it.
"Brother Yu, where are you now? Why don't you come over?" A sweet and mellow voice of a girl came from the other end of the phone.
Wu Yu hesitated for a few seconds before realizing it was Xin Luo. He said hurriedly, "I'm on my way there. I'll be there soon."
"Okay then. I'll wait for you."
"Okay." Wu Yu hung up the phone and hurried to the school. On the way, he thought about how strange the photo incident was. How could there be nothing? Could it be that, as Hua said, he had encountered a ghost? But how could a beautiful woman like Xinluo be a ghost? If not, then the problem lies with Meihua. But why did Meihua do this? If she really did it, then what was her purpose for doing all this?
Wu Yu hurried to the school and could faintly hear dance-like music coming from the classroom. He pushed the door open and saw Xinluo dancing alone.
Her heart seemed to be beating very fast and she moved slowly, not noticing Wu Yu's presence at all.
Xinluo's figure in the red cheongsam was graceful and attractive, her white calves were faintly visible, and her dance was graceful and moving. Wu Yu was mesmerized by her.
Suddenly, the music stopped, and Wu Yu and Xin Luo both widened their eyes.
Xinluo turned around inadvertently and saw Wu Yu. She looked a little surprised, covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, "When did you arrive?"
"I just came a while ago and saw you were dancing intently, so..." Wu Yu smiled back.
"I've already prepared lunch. Come, let's have lunch first." Xinluo said as he walked to the dining table and placed the dishes one by one.
"Thank you for your help." Wu Yu smiled a little stiffly, then washed his hands and sat at the dining table.
At this time, Xinluo had turned around and sat next to him, looking at him with eyes as flowing as water, and said softly: "The temperature is relatively low on rainy days, so the food will get cold easily." As she spoke, she slightly twisted her body to serve Wu Yu some rice.
"Thank you." Wu Yu took it timidly. At that moment, Wu Yu felt a warm current surge up from the bottom of his heart. Wu Yu had known Yunyun for almost two years, and in these two years, Wu Yu had never felt at home. Wu Yu suddenly had an idea that even if Xinluo was a reincarnated fox, he was still a good fox who knew how to sympathize with the warmth of the world.
"By the way, Brother Yu, where are the photos we took yesterday? Why can't I see them?" Xinluo looked at him affectionately, her eyes full of anticipation.
Wu Yu was stunned, considering whether to tell her about the photo, but he was afraid that Xin Luo would be frightened. After thinking it over, he pretended to be calm and said, "I... I haven't checked it yet, I don't know if it's been developed. If it's done, I'll give it to you."
"I... that's not what I meant. If the photos come out and you like them, then...then you can keep them..." Xinluo said shyly, then lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face, and she looked even more charming.
Wu Yu felt very happy after hearing this and forgot the legend of the fox's reincarnation for a moment. Seeing how innocent and beautiful she was, he became more attracted to her.
"By the way, I heard from Yunyun that you seemed to have something to talk to me about?" Wu Yu quickly changed the subject.
"Nothing, I just want to ask about the photo. I wonder if you..."
How could Wu Yu not know that Xinluo was hesitant to speak, but Wu Yu could not have expected that Xinluo would fall in love with him, and he did not expect that Xinluo had fallen in love in such a short time. It seemed that his purpose of finding the truth had been achieved.
After Wu Yu finished his meal, Xinluo was busy cleaning up. Wu Yu looked at Xinluo's graceful back and stood there in a daze.
Wu Yu felt guilty and embarrassed to stay here, so he lied to Xinluo and said he had something to go out for. Xinluo looked at him lovingly, reluctant to leave, and said softly, "Well, see you tonight."
