Five years ago I died like this

  "I'm easy-going! I can be as easy-going as you, but not more than that! I just slept at someone's house for a night, unlike some people who take others to bed! Due to lack of sleep, I retorted angrily. As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted it. Thinking about how he wanted to kill me yesterday, what if he gets enraged by me now and wants to kill me again?"

  I thought Ge Fei would yell, but his next move shocked me. He seemed to be suppressing his anger and pain, "Si Jia, yesterday was my fault, I didn't mean to... I'm sorry."

  What does he mean by this, did he suddenly develop a mental illness yesterday when he wanted to strangle me to death, is he schizophrenic?

  I nodded slightly: "Uh."

  "Come back with me." Ge Fei was really sick, his expression changed too fast, just now he was still apologizing to me, but now he had a "you dare to refuse me and I'll kill you" look.

  I was about to speak when Ye Jingchen took a step ahead: "Follow you back? Follow you back for what? Go back and let you get me killed?"

  "Dead fox, I'm telling you, my business with her has nothing to do with you. Don't try to threaten me again, you're well aware that if I were to fight you, you wouldn't come out on top either." Ge Fei's eyes blazed with anger as he stared at Ye Jingchen, enunciating each word clearly.

  Ye Jingchen's calm seemed to be innate, his thin lips curled up in a cold smile: "Want to take action? Then try it, I'll tell you, I absolutely won't let anyone harm my sister again."

  I'm completely bewildered, what the hell is going on? One of them is a fox spirit and the other... I don't even know what it is. I'm stuck wherever I go. I think I should just make a run for it during the chaos, but it seems like I won't be able to escape. Damn it, I'm so unlucky that I want to cry!

  Bang, I was thinking about how to escape when the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly fell down with a hissing sound of electric current. Ge Fei's eyes instantly turned green and his face revealed a fierce light. Ye Jingchen's hand somehow had a duster in it, and with a wave of his hand, the duster became very long and was heading towards Ge Fei's neck. Ge Fei dodged the duster with a backflip, and suddenly there was a brush pen in his hand.

  I rubbed my eyes, yes, that's right... it was a brush. Ge Fei's brush emitted green light and instantly became the same size as Ye Jingchen's white duster, instantly cutting the duster in half, it... cut it in half.

  If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that a brush could be used as an axe. I was left staring in amazement, this kind of scene was only something you'd see on TV before, but now it's being acted out right in front of me.

  I was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to escape, when suddenly a hand reached out from somewhere and in the next instant I found myself standing outside Ge Fei's house. What the... what kind of rhythm is this? I turned my head to look back, it was that eerie and sinister Xue Lang, he gave me a cold glance: "Troublesome."

  Then he turned around and left, two minutes later, Ge Fei appeared beside me, panting heavily, and without saying a word, he pulled me towards his home. At this moment, I was completely stunned, so stunned that I didn't even know how to resist. Lately, it seems like everyone I've met is not human... and I'm completely unable to resist anyway.

  "Hey, hey, hey...... Lin Sijia, snap out of it!" Ge Fei's hand waved in front of my eyes as he yelled at the top of his lungs.

  I only just reacted, scared and retreated quickly, crying out: "You...you...don't come any closer, what do you want to do? Although I obstructed your pursuit of the beautiful woman, you don't have to kill me, do you?"

  "Lin Sijia, don't be afraid, I really didn't mean to yesterday... Yesterday," Ge Fei explained as he walked towards me, step by step, until I had nowhere to go.

  Could only look at him pitifully: "Ge Fei... you, you, you... what do you want to do." After these past few days, I really don't know who I should believe anymore, including Ge Fei. I'm afraid he'll go crazy again and suddenly want to strangle me to death.

  "Si Jia, let's start again." He suddenly hugged me and whispered gently in my ear.

  What did he say? He said we're starting over. Is he high or did I hear wrong? I stuttered and asked, "Y-y-you... what did you say?"

  "I say... let's start over. I promise, I absolutely won't make you sad again." Ge Fei said again, his tone extremely mushy and pretentious.

  But it's precisely this pretentiousness that makes me want to say, okay, let's start over. Yet when I recall his appearance yesterday, I inexplicably feel a sense of fear, a fear that isn't just because he was going to strangle me, but a kind... a kind of inexplicable heartache. What exactly this heartache is, I'm unable to put into words, it's only vaguely familiar, as if we've met before.

  It was probably the same heartache that suddenly made me bold, I don't know how I became so brave at the time, carefully and cautiously pushing him away, firmly refusing: "I don't believe you."

  "You don't believe me, then who do you believe? Do you believe that Ye Jingchen? Do you know what he..." Ge Feiyu said more and more agitatedly, as if he was the one who had been dumped in the first place.

  Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him: "Ye Jingchen is a thousand-year-old fox spirit."

  "You... you know... You still dare to follow him. Do you believe him, did he tell you something?" He said with a mix of surprise and anger.

  These past few days of fear and unease, and the anger that has finally erupted at this moment, my tears fell involuntarily: "I don't believe in Ye Jingchen, I don't believe anyone, I just want to survive. I was living a peaceful life in my apartment, but then I met you, met your brother, and almost got killed by a ghost. Yesterday, you almost took my life again, I'm so scared, I can only escape. And Ye Jingchen, he's a fox spirit, I have no power to resist, what else can I do except obey him? You tell me, what can I do? I ask you something, but you don't say anything, maybe yesterday you really were helpless, but you almost killed me. I'm not some brave and daring female Taoist or assassin, I'm just an ordinary office worker, I get scared, I want to escape. All I want is to survive. Do you understand?"

  Perhaps startled by me, Ge Fei fell silent for a few seconds, his face desolate: "I understand, how could I not understand, five years ago... I died just like this, I also wanted to escape, I also... wanted to live."
