Chapter 15: The Changing Yunyun 2. Doubt
After Wu Yu became suspicious of Yunyun, he did not mention the red cheongsam to her, but paid attention to Yunyun's every move. Wu Yu gradually felt that Yunyun's temperament had changed drastically, and even her daily behavior seemed to be very different from before. What exactly caused her to change like this? Wu Yu fell into deep thought.
Yunyun still followed Niao Niao Xinluo to school in the morning, and went to the backyard to learn to play the guqin after returning home in the evening. Yunyun seemed to be more and more obsessed with the guqin, as if the guqin had an extraordinary attraction to her. Whenever Wu Yu listened to Yunyun playing the guqin, he could not help but secretly look at Xinluo.
Wu Yu asked Yunyun how the painting was going that night. Yunyun said hesitantly that the portrait of Niao Niao was already finished, but she wanted to learn to play the piano from Niao Niao, so she had not started the portrait of Xinluo. Wu Yu was no longer in a hurry to return to Guangzhou. Instead, he wanted to stay in the ancient town for a few more days so that he could continue to be intimate with Xinluo.
Since Wu Yu fell in love with Xinluo, he couldn't stop and sank into it. He has always been indecisive in terms of feelings. He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if Yunyun found out that he and Xinluo were in love. He didn't dare to think about it, so he was always cautious in everything.
During this period, the unit urged Wu Yu to go back again, but Wu Yu was determined to investigate the truth of the ancient house. Even if the unit fired him, he would continue to stay in the ancient town.
Wu Yu was always nervous when he and Xin Luo dated, as if he always felt Yunyun was spying on them from behind. Besides, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and although Wu Yu was extremely careful, his worries still came to light after a few days.
That evening, Wu Yu returned to the room after making love with Xin Luo, and found Yun Yun had returned early. After Yun Yun entered the room, she did not look at Wu Yu, but looked around the room. Seeing nothing unusual, she looked at Wu Yu with strange eyes. Wu Yu looked at Yun Yun anxiously. He found that Yun Yun was very abnormal today. There was a deep cold light in her eyes, as if it could see through his heart. Wu Yu was timid when he saw her like this. He wondered if she would doubt his relationship with Xin Luo? If that was the case, it would be terrible.
"Didn't you go out today?" Yunyun said with a sneer.
"No... I've been staying in the room thinking about the old house." Wu Yu felt guilty, but pretended to be calm. He was afraid that Yunyun could find out some clues from his words.
"Su Wei didn't look for you, right?" Yunyun seemed to suspect that Wu Yu was lying, so she looked at him puzzledly.
"Su Wei? No, I haven't seen him for two days. I don't know if he has returned to Guangzhou." When Wu Yu heard Yunyun suddenly mention Su Wei, he forgot his guilty conscience for a moment and looked at her in surprise.
"That's good. By the way, has Su Wei ever talked to you about the ghost wedding in the ancient town?"
"Ghost marriage?" Wu Yu was shocked when he heard these two words. Could it be that Su Wei and Yunyun told him that he was a ghost groom?
"What's wrong? Did you know that a ghost wedding was once held in this ancient house?" Yunyun looked at Wu Yu in surprise, as if she felt Wu Yu's expression was incredible.
"This...where did you get this information from?"
Yunyun rolled her eyes at Wu Yu and said slowly, "I heard from Su Wei that he had held a ghost wedding in the old house two years ago, so I suspect that Su Wei's death that year might be related to the ghost wedding. According to the legend of the ancient town, any man who marries a ghost lady will be haunted by the ghost lady afterwards and will not live long."
"Do you think this legend could be true?" Wu Yu looked at Yunyun strangely, thinking that she knew a lot.
"I don't know about this, but Su Wei's death was so strange that I had to think of this."
Wu Yu felt that Yunyun's words made sense, but at the same time he suddenly felt uneasy, as if a cold wind blew in from the door and blew out the lantern. In panic, Wu Yu felt that his worries were unnecessary. On the other hand, Wu Yu was lucky that Yunyun didn't know about him being a ghost groom and his affair with Xinluo.
Since that night, Wu Yu felt that Yunyun's eyes had changed when she looked at him, and it was obviously different from before. Wu Yu always felt that Yunyun's eyes were so deep and cold, and at the same time, they also hid a murderous aura. When Wu Yu thought of the red cheongsam, he wondered if Yunyun's temperament changed drastically after she wore the red cheongsam; or maybe Yunyun knew about his and Xinluo's affairs, so she became like this. After some thinking, Wu Yu thought that both assumptions were possible, so he almost never went to school during the day, stayed in the old house, and tried not to go to the backyard at night, hoping that Yunyun would relax her guard against him.
