Soon To Die

“I always thought it was strange too!” The young female ghost immediately said something about the death aura on Lu Wenxi, “According to reason, with so much death aura, you should have died long ago, yet you are still alive and well.”

“In your opinion, I should be dead?” Lu Wenxi pursued.

“Yes, of course the living have energy, the yang energy on newborn babies are lighter, so they can see us, when they get a little older, they stop seeing us. Only people who have been sick for a long time, or people who are injured and dying, will have this aura that’s on you. After the death aura gets too thick, it’s the end.”

“I was fine a few days ago, what changed in the past few days?”

“Well, originally it was the purple and gold aura, only few people in the world have this aura, so you looked so handsome that I couldn’t wait to cross in front of you to ask for a hug. But all of a sudden, really all of a sudden, the purple and gold aura turned to a death aura. Two days ago it was quite little, today …… “The ghost pointed to Lu Wenxi’s body,” you can see me, that means the death aura has increased, you’re almost the same as a ghost.”

Originally when Lu Wenxi heard the man say he’d die soon, his heartbeat increased by seven to eight points, now it was “thumping”, the bad feeling was getting stronger.

If he had a major disease, it would be reasonable, or if he was suddenly attacked, he may accept this statement. But he was now very healthy, there was nothing wrong with him, except for his diet, there was really nothing else.

If it was really because of the weight control, it should be a lack of nutrition, it hadn’t reached the point of death ah!

“Why is it like this?” Lu Wenxi was puzzled.

“I don’t know, I’ve been dead for more than 1 year, it’s my first time seeing such a situation.” The young ghost replied.

Lu Wenxi rubbed his brow and tried to calm himself down.

What would happen if a person suddenly got a prophecy of his own death? Anyway, Lu Wenxi was baffled.

First, he saw a ghost, and now he was told he was going to die, Lu Wenxi’s brain immediately became mush, but even though he realised that his time might soon be up, Lu Wenxi still immediately spoke: “Even if you’re dead, I have to tell you, you’re wrong you know? I haven’t come to this house for a long time, and I almost didn’t come back today, so wouldn’t you have been stuck here for a long time? Why did you die and return to chase stars? Can’t you go see your parents? “

“It’s hard to see them sad because I died, I don’t want to go back, so I found something else to do.”

Lu Wenxi had never experienced this feeling, he hesitated for a moment, then he apologised: “Sorry, I was wrong, but you still have to leave my house later.”

“Then can you swipe your card and send me down with the elevator? Even as a ghost, going down the stairs is quite tiring.”

“You’re a ghost and you still care about that? Why didn’t you get tired of watching me shower?”

The ghost was speechless.

After a moment’s hesitation, she got up and walked towards the door, taking one step and three steps back. She couldn’t help but say as she stood in front of the door, “Boss, don’t be upset, I think you’re much better than the rumours.”

“The rumours that I swear, have a bad temper, and have poor acting skills are true.”

“But it’s actually quite cute, and I like you anyway.”

“Okay, got it.” Lu Wenxi said and stood up, walked to the door and opened it, “Bye bye.”

“Bye boss.” After saying this, she quickly went to Lu Wenxi’s side and seemed to want to give Lu Wenxi a kiss on the cheek, but she was afraid that her body would touch Lu Wenxi and make him feel uncomfortable, so she held back and retreated, and finally left Lu Wenxi’s house.

After Lu Wenxi closed the door, he pinched his brow, then stood next to the man and asked, “Is it painful to have your kind of talisman on a ghost?”

The man turned his head to look at Lu Wenxi, he seemed quite surprised, he had thought Lu Wenxi would be more concerned about the matter of his body’s death aura, but the first question was actually this.

“I can’t answer that.”

“Why?”

“I haven’t died, nor have I been hit by it, so I can’t answer.”

” …… I guess it’s quite hard ……” Lu Wenxi felt a little self-condemnation, the other was after all his fan, she also protected him. He actually let her roll all over the ground, his heart was uncomfortable for a while and that emotion also showed on his face, the other man saw it clearly.

“Do you know the reason why I have a death aura?” Lu Wenxi lifted his arm, as if he also wanted to see the death aura on his body, but saw nothing.

The young man’s eyes was fixed on Lu Wenxi’s arm before he answered, “Do you have any major illnesses?”

Lu Wenxi thought carefully and asked, “Do haemorrhoids count?”

“It doesn’t.”

“Then no.” After thinking about it, he hurriedly stressed again, “Don’t tell anyone.”

“What?”

“It’s …… haemorrhoids.”

“Can I get anything out of telling anyone?”

“I also don’t know if this kind of news can be reported by the media.”

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Lu Wenxi was born gay, he realised it himself from the time he understood it and was a bottom.

At first he didn’t panic, nor did he care much, growing up in a place that had a group of rich kids who were more playful, there were really some gay and bisexual people, there wasn’t much discrimination, and acceptance was very high. But he hadn’t been open about his preferences, nor had he been in love.

Mainly, he tried to research and found that many were wandering all over the place. It was rare to find an attacker. It was really … Everyone was a fellow “0”.

[TN: Attacker — Top, 0 —- Bottom.]

He didn’t want to come out. He was afraid that a group of bottoms would line up to ask him out, and then they would be disappointed to find that he was also a bottom.

A 184 cm tall male, who was slender but also had pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, biceps and a very good body was a 0 ……

A number ……0 with haemorrhoids ……

This was also the reason why Lu Wenxi was still single even though he was extremely handsome.

The man raised his hand and put it on Lu Wenxi’s wrist, pinching the pulse. After Lu Wenxi was touched by cold fingers, he subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but was pinched, then he noted that the teenager seemed to be checking his pulse, he quietly continued to raise his hand and wait.

After a while, the teenager let go of Lu Wenxi’s hand, came closer, raised his hand and pinched his lower eyelid.

The man was looking at his eyes, but he was staring at his face.

The distance was so close, he was able to see that the teenager’s skin was indeed delicate, all natural collagen, not at all something an injection could do. His cold expression looked very stylish, he was curious what this face would look like if it smiled.

Would it be handsome?

Or cute?

“Open your mouth.”

“Want to kiss?” Lu Wenxi asked.

The man raised his eyes and looked at Lu Wenxi, he didn’t seem to find the joke funny, nor was he angry, he just looked at him indifferently for a moment and replied, “I need to check your tongue.”

“Oh.” Lu Wenxi responded, then he opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue for him.

After surveying it, the teenager signalled that he could close it: “Except for a little anaemia, there is nothing wrong with your body.”

“You know the art of healing?”

“When I was a child, my family elders taught me, and I study Chinese medicine in university.” The teenager replied.

Young Taoist priest.

University student.

Lu Wenxi felt that these two identities were a bit incongruous, but he was more concerned about other things: “You must be really skilled, right?”

“I don’t know.” The teenager replied.

“How old are you?”

“Virtually twenty.”

“Oh, nineteen?”

“No, eighteen years old.”

“So you added two years …… you must be a Capricorn, right?”

The teenager stared at Lu Wenxi, hesitated for a moment and remained silent.

Liu Wenxi laughed, he wasn’t reserved when he saw a handsome man. Fortunately, he was an adult, otherwise he would feel guilty.

“Give me your birth date and eight characters.” The teenager said, then he took out a book from his bag, looked around, and finally entered the dining room, put the book on the table, and took out a brush from his bag, as well as a bottle of ink, he opened the lid and looked at Lu Wenxi.

Lu Wenxi quickly said his birth date, followed by an additional sentence: “I am five years older than you, and I’m a Scorpio.”

The young man ignored that and began to deduce his fortune.

Lu Wenxi didn’t bother, he just watched the teenager writing those things he couldn’t understand.

The teenager obviously didn’t have a particularly flashy costume, but as he wrote, he naturally had a refined temperament, some people were born with this kind of aura, the teenager could be considered one of the best he had seen. It was also the first time Lu Wenxi felt that a person with a brush, writing a few words, could actually look so attractive.

“I never asked, what is your name?” Lu Wenxi asked the teenager.

“Xu Chen.”

“Oh, quite nice.” Unlike Lu Wenxi, which was so awkward, “Did you find anything?”

“You, although destined to have no children, are also considered lucky. The person who can have the purple gold aura, in ancient times, wasn’t only the emperor, it could also be a nobleman. By definition, you will live to the end of your life and should not die young.” Xu Chen put down his pen and looked at Lu Wenxi.

Hearing “destined to have no children”, Lu Wenxi’s heart wavered for a moment, but he still maintained his composure.

“Is there more?” He asked.

“You are an unconventional person, but you are suspicious and smart.” Xu Chen looked at Lu Wenxi frankly, then continued in that cold tone, “The way you look at me is very mocking, the same as yesterday.”

Lu Wenxi couldn’t help but laugh, he pulled out a chair and sat opposite Xu Chen then he confessed his thoughts: “Yes, I’ve been wondering, is it you and that ghost want to scam me? First you brought her, put her in my house, then made as much noise as possible, so that I’d find out, then you’d come over here to heroically save …… then you’d tell me that I won’t live a long life, I’d take out a large sum of money for you to help me resolve it.”

As Xu Chen listened, he surprisingly showed no mood swings, he just began to pack his things.

Lu Wenxi watched his movements and didn’t say anything, keeping a smile on his face and still with a playful look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a small liar, waiting for the small liar to confess.

“Before you die, you will continue to see ghosts and monsters, ordinary spirits will not hurt you, and you can’t fight the really evil spirits, so take it easy.” Xu Chen finished packing and put his things back in the bag.

“You won’t defend yourself?”

“After all, in your opinion, your idea is right, which is easier to accept than the news that you are dying soon.”

“Then can you tell me why I would suddenly be covered in death aura without any symptoms?”

Xu Chen seemed a little hesitant, he looked back at Lu Wenxi, hesitated for a moment before answering, “Actually, I’m too lazy to explain.”

“Ha?!”

“Explaining to people who don’t understand always takes more words, not to mention that you don’t trust me.”

Xu Chen still had his own personality, being looked at with such mocking eyes was uncomfortable. But Xu Chen had his own connotation, he wouldn’t  lose his temper, he just wanted to leave, but Lu Wenxi didn’t relent.

Liu Wenxi always knew that he had money, and he was really suspicious. When someone approached him and befriended him, he had to think about whether the other was up to something. Yesterday, he was smart enough to open a live broadcast, trying to promote his new song through popularity. He really didn’t know what would happen in the later period if Deng Xuanhan didn’t die and nothing else took away the attention of the masses.  

The two people just stalled for a while, Xu Chen adjusted his posture and  patiently said: “The world is big, there are all kinds of evil methods, if someone uses your birth date and wants to steal your fortune, they can also cause you to become like this now. In that case, you can see who suddenly has good fortune when your fortune is down and who knows your birth date.”

“Steal fortune?”

“After all, the Purple Gold Aura is the envy of many people, and those who have it usually have very good luck.”

Lu Wenxi suddenly remembered his encounter in the past few days, it really was …… hard to say.

Previously there were others whose poor acting skills were criticised, but for him to be criticised to this extent, there was really no one before or after, it was comparable to a first-line star havig a cheating scandal.

“Is that so?” Lu Wenxi muttered.

“Also, if it’s someone who has a grudge against you, or against your family, they can also do the trick, such as taking one of your hairs. If it is against your family, it will exterminate your family. If it’s extinction, it’ll start with the younger generation first, and after your death, your elders will also suffer until the whole family is exterminated.”

“My family has a single lineage of three generations.”

“Then think about it, who hates you so much that they are willing to use the method of damaging yin and virtue to cause your death.”

Lu Wenxi couldn’t help but laugh mockingly: “There are too many people who hate me, those fans who have cursed me to death, maybe our country’s population will have to plummet by more than 100,000 people.”

“You are quite popular.” This really didn’t sound like a compliment.

“In our line of work, it is just like this, being watched by many people, how many people hate you, how many people like you. If there aren’t even people who hate you, it’s a real fail.”

“Oh, I’m done explaining.” Xu Chen finished, turned his head and walked away, ignoring Lu Wenxi’s sentiments.

Lu Wenxi was quite calm, but when he saw Xu Chen was leaving, he suddenly panicked and immediately called out, “Wait a minute.”

Xu Chen ignored him, after all, he had been continuously insulted, as a self-respecting teenager, how could he be willing to stay?

Lu Wenxi immediately stood up and chased him to the door, reaching out to hold Xu Chen’s wrist, before he could touch it, he felt the wind flick his hand away, he looked at his hand in surprise, then looked at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen also stopped, looked back at him, and asked, “Anything else?”

“Is it too late to apologise?” Lu Wenxi suddenly conceded, “It doesn’t matter to me, can you …… go with me to see my parents?”

Lu Wenxi’s attitude softened, originally he had a mocking expression, such a pitiful concession would soften most people.

“I have class tomorrow.” Xu Chen replied.

“Then leave me your contact information, I’ll contact you when you don’t have class.”

“How do you have the confidence that you can survive that many days?”

This sentence, really stung Lu Wenxi. Looking at Xu Chen’s eyes, there was a little impatience, and pity, as if he was looking at a dead person.

This kind of look was too hurtful.

“How about you give a price, or if you have any requests, I can do whatever I can.” Lu Wenxi began to try to negotiate conditions, before he acted so noble, now when talking, he no longer had that aura.

Suddenly, he felt that he was really smart, this kind of psychic couldn’t be provoked. Even if he really came to cheat money, if he angered him, he might really do something to add trouble to his family.

What was more, after what just happened, the teenager was probably a genuine Taoist.

“There is nothing I want.” Xu Chen replied.

“How about this, I’ll give you half a million, take a leave of absence, before I die, accompany me to see my parents, can you?” Lu Wenxi asked without giving up, he was beginning to accept that he would die.

“No.”

“Then three million? It can’t be more.”

“I won’t go.”

“F*ck …… is five million okay?”

Xu Chen seemed to dislike this kind of bargaining, he turned his head to leave, the result was that Lu Wenxi became even more anxious, he followed behind Xu Chen, all the way to the corridor, before yelling: “Don’t go, 20 million, okay? Before I die, come help me drive away ghosts from time to time, and by the way, visit my parents, I will give you 20 million!”

Xu Chen’s footsteps paused, then he stopped and looked back at Lu Wenxi.

Lu Wenxi immediately held his breath, he was so nervous that he didn’t dare to swallow, and then he heard Xu Chen ask: “Do you need an invoice?”
