　　——Xiao Xiao was really doing well here.

　　After spending time at the manor with Xiao Xiao again, this was what Yang Yue and Ming Hai really thought.

　　Xiao Xiao in the manor was completely different from the original impression they had of him. As time had changed them, it had likewise changed Xiao Xiao into a whole new person. The current Xiao Xiao was no longer that cowardly, weak, and reticent boy who was afraid of ghosts. He had become cheerful, optimistic, and was a good speaker now. Of course, there was nothing wrong with this change. Rather, it even made Yang Yue and Ming Hai feel quite happy.

　　Only someone who was really living freely and happily without any misgivings would be able to have changed so evidently. Furthermore, this joy that seemed to come from his heart absolutely could not have been faked.

　　——Sui Yuan, who was currently faking it in order to let the protagonist shou and gong leave without regrets, OOC-ing to this degree with no scruples, was really staking it all….

　　Sui Yuan was making up stories about his experiences with the manor's ghosts. He told the protagonist gong and shou that the ghosts were actually harmless, so long as you didn't tread on their mines. They could even be pure and cute: For example, the girl in the bathroom only wanted to find someone to play with. If you treated her without fear, she would be a very lovable child. There was also the boy in the water. Actually, he just hated when others dirtied his water. However, if you negotiated with him, you could get an endless supply of clean water. The uncle in the kitchen was kind and would smile at everyone. He was very cordial, so long as you didn't randomly touch his kitchen tools or doubt his culinary skills….

　　The manor's ghosts had been "meticulously taught" by Zhao Xihe. All of them were so obedient that they couldn't be any more obedient. They were all on their best behaviours towards the protagonist gong and shou, harmless like little white rabbits. Even Clown, who liked to play pranks, would show a frightened expression when he saw Sui Yuan. He would pull back obediently, not daring to act aggressively in the slightest, and would do his best to pretend that he was just a stage piece.

　　The Manor Owner elegantly received Yang Yue and Ming Hai. He was gentle and graceful like a n.o.ble gentleman. Only, probably because he was busy, he very quickly handed over the task of entertaining their guests to Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe. He then quickly scurried off like his b.u.t.t was on fire, disappearing without a trace.

　　While listening to Sui Yuan's accounts and touring the manor, Yang Yue and Ming Hai really didn't know what they were feeling. The horrific experiences they went through were still vivid in their memories. The deaths and bloodshed of their friends still remained in their hearts. It was a distinct contrast to the peaceful and happy scene they saw now.

　　"Aren't you afraid of them? After all…our friends died here…" Yang Yue felt rather dubious.

　　Sui Yuan's expression froze. He lowered his eyes, gaze cryptic, "…Is there anything that's perfect in this world, ne? I have not forgotten, but so what? I wasn't familiar with them. I also know that they didn't like me. But here, there are many people who like me and treat me very well. What is there to be dissatisfied about, ne?"

　　Yang Yue couldn't help but laugh. When he saw Sui Yuan in low spirits, he didn't dare say anymore. He only chuckled in agreement, "You're right."

　　Sui Yuan blinked and then smiled again, "It's almost time for lunch. Let's head to the dining hall. Uncle Chef has already prepared his specialty dishes. Don't worry! All the ingredients are normal, I promise!"

　　Yang Yue and Ming Hai couldn't help but smile with him. When they recalled the flights of fancy they had indulged in regarding the food here, for a moment, they felt quite…nostalgic?

　　Sui Yuan's praise was no exaggeration. This lunch made them drool. Under Sui Yuan's guarantee, the protagonist gong and shou ate without any misgivings. The only thing that made them feel unhappy was that there was a couple sitting in front of them PDA-ing at all times.

　　As a ghost, Zhao Xihe didn't need to eat. All his energy was naturally devoted into taking care of Sui Yuan. Although Sui Yuan didn't need to be taken care of, he still enjoyed it. The incomparably meticulous and appropriate care made Yang Yue and Ming Hai feel blinded but also understand why Xiao Xiao would choose to stay here. Xiao Xiao, who had never been treated as gently as this, had no way to resist this kind of care.

　　Yang Yue and Xiao Xiao originally thought that they would feel hurt and frustrated upon seeing this scene. After all, Xiao Xiao was the person they had liked and longed for all these years. However, the fact was that they only felt happy and gratified. It was like their friend had finally found a happy home. From the bottom of their heart, they wished him happiness.

　　As the protagonist gong and shou, Yang Yue and Ming Hai were both handsome and had outstanding strength. They were not taken by each other, so they would naturally become people sought after by everyone else. It was just a pity that one's first love would leave such a deep impression, especially a first love that had ended as tragically as theirs. Neither Yang Yue nor Ming Hai knew whether they still loved Xiao Xiao, but what they did know was that Xiao Xiao had already become their obsession. Furthermore, this obsession would have never been resolved until they saw Xiao Xiao again.
