”But this ti, let alone any drea ”Wen Jiubo, that evil spirit What exactly is it?”

”Who knows?” Wen Jiubo said, deliberately being vague

”You obviously do know right?” I could once again feelbecause of Wen Jiubo's half-hearted attitude towards things ”If you don't want to tell me, then say so”

Wen Jiubo looked at me with a helpless expression and then tucked his hands into his sleeves ”Gu Yu, have you heard about 'living demons'?” he asked me seriously

This was co demons?”

”A so-called 'living demon' is someone hile still alive, becomes a demon”

”Beco a demon… while still alive?” I repeated, surprised, unable to understand what Wen Jiubo meant ”How is that possible?”

”Everything is possible As long as there is cause and effect, nothing is impossible” Wen Jiubo looked in ht? Noor superstition, it all originates from the human heart”

I nodded

”If there's no evil in a person's heart, then there's no chance of an evil spirit Therefore the existence of a 'living demon' is also easily explained,” Wen Jiubo continued ”A so-called 'living demon', is merely a human who has been cursed”

”Cursed?” I felt evenlike 'abracadabra', waving a wand and turning someone into a demon, that sort of curse?”

Wen Jiubo laughed ”Even though there are those, but the 'curse' we're speaking of, isn't that sort of curse”

”Then what is it?” I tugged at my hair in frustration ”The more you talk, the more I don't understand”

Wen Jiubo s, ”LetFor example —”

As he spoke, Wen Jiubo picked up a leaf frorass beside himself He presented it to me ”Tell me, what is this called?”

”Eh?” I was confused ”It's a leaf”

”That's right, this is a leaf” Wen Jiubo shook the leaf in his hand ”At the moment when you called its name, you, Gu Yu, placed a curse on this leaf On the other hand, this leaf was also bound by the naain”

”What are you talking about? I still don't understand a word” In light of Wen Jiubo's utterly bizarre logic, I co to understand

Wen Jiubo dropped the leaf ”Another exa into my space ”If I do this…”

I jumped, startled by Wen Jiubo's sudden erously close to mine At the same time, one of his hands brushed across the back ofa sense of warmth where our bare skin touched

He was too close! The alar away in my chest Wen Jiubo had positioned himself so that his shapely mouth was only centimeters away fro closed reflexively

At this point, Wen Jiubo's lips moved up, next to my ear He said softly, ”If I did this, you would think that I was about to kiss you and close your eyes Your face heating up, the rapid beat of your heart… these are also a type of curse”

I suddenly got ht towards Wen Jiubo's face

”Ow, that hurt!” Wen Jiubo didn't have ti to the floor

”Serves you right!” I glared at hi, what rapid heartbeat? You just wanted to take the opportunity to be indecent! You're shameless!”
