The warmth that can't be let go of

  "Do you understand what I mean, Xiao Yue?" Ming Yan made an effort to lift his head and fixedly stared at my every expression without blinking.

  I stared at him foolishly, my cheeks wet, and only realized that I had unknowingly cried when I touched them. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for this day anymore, but unexpectedly it was today in such a setting that he confessed to me.

  Wiping away tears, suppressing the excitement in her heart, she stared at him with a twisted expression. Because of what he said earlier, she still remembered it now, and she had to ask clearly, not wanting to be deceived by a ghost.

  "Didn't you say before that you saved me just out of gratitude and our partnership? How can you turn against yourself now?"

  "Ming Yan was taken aback by my question and sat down in a chair beside me, speechless. You once said that the paths of humans and ghosts are different. The last time I saw you cry, I felt so sad too. But when I thought about what you said, that we're from two different worlds, I didn't have the courage."

  But today I was caught by you, and for some reason I'm really scared, especially the look in your eyes before you left, I don't know if it's my own imagination, but I feel like you hate me. So even if I misunderstood, I still want to tell you my true feelings."

  "Grandma, grandma, looks like you're quite clever, how come you're so slow in handling emotions? And also very silly, silly to the point of being an idiot, a fool!" I pointed at his nose and scolded. "I actually fell for someone like you? I'm the biggest idiot."

  He was scolded by me at first stunned, then suddenly smiled, smiling very happily.

  I also burst into laughter, feeling wonderful in my heart, but as soon as I thought of what Yuan Xue just said, I felt a little hesitant and headache again.

  There is still a Yuan Xue between us, even if she has never been among us, she still wants to squeeze in.

  At this moment, in a cool place, Yuan Xue appeared in the corner, looking at us with difficulty, holding hands, and shook her head disbelievingly: "Why, Brother Mingyan? Didn't you say so clearly?"

  Although she took advantage of me, I also feel that I was somewhat excessive. In a moment of excitement, I forgot the promise I made to her in my dream just now. Feeling a bit guilty, I wanted to let go of Ming Yan, but he held me tightly in his arms.

  Ming Yan's expression changed from his usual warm smile, a layer of frost hung on his handsome face, and his eyes were filled with a hint of anger as he stared at Yuan Xue.

  "Your feelings for me are just a dependency, not affection. You're still just a child, and previously you toyed with us, turning us around your finger - I can understand that. But now I must warn you, Yuan Xue: don't put those petty thoughts in Xiao Yue's head again. She sincerely helps you because she is kind-hearted, but if you take advantage of her kindness to hurt her, don't blame me for not warning you - I will send you to the underworld and let Yan Jun deal with you, without regard for our past relationship."

  So bluntly and mercilessly spoken out.

  I looked up at the cold and gloomy flames, and then glanced at Yuan Xue with some reluctance. The little girl was biting her lower lip tightly, staring at us with a strong resentment in her eyes that made me suddenly feel cold, and I had an ominous premonition that I wanted to stop Ming Yan from continuing, because I was afraid of really stirring up the resentment deep in her heart, which would be unstoppable once it broke out.

  Yuan Xue stood in the shadows, clenching her small fists tightly, gazing sorrowfully at Ming Yan's ruthless back. Her pale face turned even paler from suppressing her emotions, and her empty eyes flickered with a faint red glow, which was not a good sign.

  She wiped away her tears, with a strong sense of self-respect like hers, looking at us unwillingly. "Why can't I? Why? I'm dead, as long as I have a strong willpower, I must become a ghost fairy. Why do you want to be so cruel to me? Choose to be with Little Yu's sister? Ming Yan brother, don't forget, even if you like each other, there won't be any result, this point is clearer to you than anyone else, because you are a ghost and she is human!"

  Finished speaking, he turned away with a heavy heart and disappeared into the darkness.

  I looked at where she disappeared with some worry, grabbing Ming Yan's arm and not knowing what to do. "How can you provoke her like this? What if you stir up the resentment in her heart and she does something that can't be made up for?"

  "There won't be any accidents, because that child is very clear about her parents' sacrifices for her. If she were to take a wrong path, her family would also suffer the consequences." Ming Yan said to me with certainty, his brow furrowed slightly. It seemed he wasn't worried that Yuan Xue would do something foolish, but rather was concerned about something else due to Yuan Xue's unexpected reminder.

  After calming down, he helped me sit down and sat across from me. He held my hand and looked at me with a guilty expression.

  I sized him up and gave him a punch, unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, and teased: "What's wrong? Immortal sir? Are you regretting confessing to this mortal?"

  Ming Yan gently shook his head, his expression changing from excitement to desolation. He looked at me with a very uneasy gaze and said: "Actually, there's one thing that Yuan Xue said that was right, something I've been afraid to face - that is, I'm a ghost, you're human. So even if I knew I liked you, and knew you had feelings for me too, I still didn't dare say it out loud."

  It turns out that this guy is not stupid, he knows everything but pretends to be foolish. I'm a bit angry, holding his hand without temperature, and unexpectedly, I feel some reluctance to say anything. I just tightened my grip to convey my warmth to him, because I found that he was secretly trembling with fear. Originally wanted to ask why this time decided to speak out, but he has already given me the answer.

  As I held his hand and gave him warmth, Ming Yan finally calmed down, a faint smile returned to his face, he grasped my hand and said: "This warmth is what I never got after I died, this time I want to be selfish, don't want to let go."
