All this happened within a few short seconds. Very quickly, the two sets of ‘qi’ rushing about, one cold and one warm, seemed to have reached an equilibrium.

Lin Feiran felt as if he had been thoroughly washed, inside and out. He exhaled softly. Gu Kaifeng also seemed like he was waking from a dream. He shook his head as if to clear it and asked, “What is this...”

However, before he could finish his sentence, a jarring, high-pitched laugh came from nearby: “Hahaha!”

The source of the sound seemed to be in this very room. Gu Kaifeng, who assumed he and Lin Feiran were alone, was made to jump by the sudden sound. He swiftly turned his head to look in the direction of the voice. While looking in the same direction, Lin Feiran hurriedly reassured him, “Don’t be scared, none of them cause harm to people...”

“Hahaha, don’t joke! My head has flown away!” That strange sharp laughter sounded again, and a bloody human head rolled out from under the table next to the bed. Shortly after, two white and shriveled arms followed behind it, as if trying to catch the head which was rapidly rolling away.

“Don’t you be afraid, I can see them too. Let me explain.” Lin Feiran hastily caught ahold of Gu Kaifeng’s hands.

Nevertheless, Gu Kaifeng who was utterly controlled by fear at the moment, did not pay any attention to what Lin Feiran was saying at all. Under these circumstances Lin Feiran’s gentle voice became meaningless background noise.

“Damn it!!!” Gu Kaifeng let out a high-pitched scream. He was so scared by this scene that he leaped upward. Even though Lin Feiran had been beating around the bush to forewarn him, how could Gu Kaifeng imagine that he would suddenly see something like this! Instinctively, Gu Kaifeng swiftly held out one arm in front of Lin Feiran to shield him. With his other hand, he picked up the telephone at the head of the bed and swung it at the human head rolling on the floor that was waiting to be picked up by the pair of hands.

Extremely fierce!

Lin Feiran felt the arm that Gu Kaifeng had immediately stuck out in front of him and his heart shuddered.

The reactions of people who had lost their reason due to fear were the most truthful.

“Ah——!” The human head had also been shocked, and the sharp laughter now became a sharp scream. The two arms that had been picking up the head now slowly shrank back under the table, then passed through the wall behind the table and completely vanished, leaving the human head alone and helpless on the ground. The head could not run on its own; it could not even turn around to see who had used the telephone to hit it. It could only cry and scream at Gu Kaifeng with the back of its head facing him, “You scared me to death! What are you doing!”

“Scram!” Gu Kaifeng was the type of person where the more scared he got, the harder he fought. He bent down and picked up a slipper, lashing out at the human head as if he was whacking a cockroach.

The human head complained pitifully, “I want to scram, too. When you yell like that I’m scared, and my body doesn’t dare to come over any more...”

It was bad enough that they built a hotel on top of my grave. Now they’re trying to hit me, too?! Is there justice in the world?!

Does having the Yin-Yang eyes mean you can do whatever you want?!

“Gu Kaifeng, quick, shut your eyes.” Lin Feiran scrambled to wrap up himself and Gu Kaifeng, who had been scared into becoming Gu Kai-crazy. With one hand, he held Gu Kaifeng tightly in the blanket; with the other, he covered Gu Kaifeng’s eyes. Using all his boyfriend power, he said, “Shut your eyes and count to ten, then you won’t see anything any more. This is an earthbound ghost who died nearby, and won’t hurt anyone.”

Lin Feiran had thought about this possibility before. Gu Kaifeng could see ghosts now, likely because of sharing Yin; he had gained half of Lin Feiran’s Yin energy. While he could still see ghosts, he probably had one foot in the underworld like Lin Feiran. Under these circumstances, it was possible that his Yang constitution did not work. Lin Feiran surmised that once the sharing of Yin energy stopped and Gu Kaifeng could no longer see ghosts, his Yang energy should also return.

“... I’m fine now, no need to cover my eyes.” After Lin Feiran had hugged Gu Kaifeng and covered his eyes for a while, Gu Kaifeng had finally calmed down, and even took the chance to pinch Lin Feiran’s bare buttocks under the blankets!

He was now completely calm!

By this time, the headless ghost’s body had quietly passed through the wall from the neighboring room and nervously picked up its head. Afraid that it would be seen by Gu Kaifeng and attacked again, it nervously bent at the waist, holding its crying head, and scurried back through the wall to the neighboring room.

Make no mistake, it was literally, hugging its head and crying bitterly. No problem.

Lin Feiran silently watched that nervous ghost, and a strange pride rose in his heart: “......”

Before, it was always me who was afraid of ghosts. Now it’s the ghosts’ turn to be afraid of my boyfriend, hmm.

“What happened just now? RanRan, have you always been able to see them?” Gu Kaifeng asked as he glanced in all directions, as if not quite believing his eyes and wanting to double check. But this hotel seemed quite ‘clean’. Aside from the headless ghost just now, there were no other ghosts in the room.

Of course, it was possible that they had been scared away by what Gu Kaifeng did just now...

Lin Feiran nodded. “I’ve had the Yin-Yang eyes since last October, since the day my grandpa died.”

“Last October?” Gu Kaifeng started remembering, too.

“That day, I took a day’s leave to go back to my old home to see my grandpa one last time. My grandpa had the Yin-Yang eyes all along, and after he passed on, he transferred the Yin-Yang eyes to me. These Yin-Yang eyes have been passed down through the Lin family for generations,” Lin Feiran explained.

Gu Kaifeng was surprised. “The power of seeing ghosts can be passed down through generations?”

How novel!

Now that Lin Feiran had confessed, he wanted to laugh too. “Right. It started with the Lin family’s ancestors. It’s said that once the bearer of the Yin-Yang Eyes from each generation passes away, the Yin-Yang Eyes will be passed to a descendant at the next opportunity. My grandpa passed it to me. Before that, I wasn’t mentally prepared at all, and didn’t even know that my grandpa had the Yin-Yang eyes. The bearer of the Yin-Yang Eyes can’t tell people without the Eyes about these things. I kept wanting to tell you that I could see ghosts, but every time the words reached my lips, I couldn’t speak them. I couldn’t write them, either. I tried everything I could. My grandpa said this might be because the mysteries of heaven can’t be revealed...”

Gu Kaifeng showed a very rare expression of total confusion: “Can’t say it and can’t write it?”

“Yes.” Lin Feiran nodded. “Every time I tried to tell you, it was like I’d suddenly gone mute... But now, I can say it. It’s probably because you can see them too now.”

While they had been talking, no ghosts had barged in. Lin Feiran pushed aside the blanket wrapped around them both and handed the clothes and trousers Gu Kaifeng had tossed on the ground back to him. With a red face he said, “Let’s put on our clothes before we keep talking...”

“Can this be wiped off now?” Gu Kaifeng pointed at the symbol on his chest.

“It can. I’ll erase it for you.”Lin Feiran pulled out several sheets of tissue, crawled over, and very gently cleaned Gu Kaifeng’s chest. The corner of Gu Kaifeng’s mouth lifted and he took a tissue to help Lin Feiran clean. Once he was clean, he pulled at something that stood very straight up in the air.

Clearly, he was not afraid at all anymore!

“Hey, I found something.” Gu Kaifeng scooted closer and observed the protrusions on Lin Feiran’s chest.

Lin Feiran pushed Gu Kaifeng away in embarrassment and put on his sweater: “What?”

“Your body seems to be emitting black smoke.” Gu Kaifeng also put his clothes on, then lowered his head to look at his own hands. “Mine too.”

“This is because the Yin energy has suppressed the Yang energy. The spell I used just now is called ‘sharing Yin’, and can share my Yin energy with you, so the Yin energy in your body now is also especially strong. But if you shut your eyes for ten seconds, the sharing will stop.” Lin Feiran hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and started explaining from the day he got the Yin-Yang eyes: “Do you remember the day when I took leave to go back to my old home, you went back to the dorm room during the evening self-study period to get your books and found that I had a fever, and even bought me medicine and congee?”

“I remember.” Gu Kaifeng nodded. As if seeing Lin Feiran for the first time, he looked at the Yin-Yang master with eyes full of wonder. “RanRan, you even know magic. I really...”

Lin Feiran gave a hollow laugh and scratched the tip of his nose. His eyes glanced back and forth as he continued, “That day, after the fever broke, I could see ghosts. Before our school was built, it was actually a cemetery, and there are a lot of ghosts. That day, the moment I opened my eyes I saw more than ten ghosts in the dorm room, and was scared sick, so I... leaped onto your bed...”

Gu Kaifeng’s eyebrows rose and he came to a realization: “I remember. That day, you said you’d had a nightmare.”

Guiltily, Lin Feiran answered, “Right, that was an excuse, because I couldn’t say anything about seeing ghosts.”

Gu Kaifeng pondered a moment and asked in confusion, “That can’t be right. If it was really so scary, why did you calm down the moment you leaped onto my bed?”

“That’s because...” Lin Feiran hung his head like a kid who had made a mistake.

Gu Kaifeng urged, “Tell me.”

Lin Feiran wiggled his butt so that he and Gu Kaifeng were tightly pressed together. After a time, he seemed to think they were still not close enough, so he picked his butt up again and sat in the space between Gu Kaifeng’s thighs, both arms around Gu Kaifeng’s neck, and pressed himself against Gu Kaifeng as if he were sticky all over.

One of Gu Kaifeng’s eyebrows rose very high, and a teasing light shot through his eyes. Casually he said, “RanRan, are you keeping something from me?”

“Right now I like you a lot, and love you a lot.” Lin Feiran fiercely kissed Gu Kaifeng’s face and said ingratiatingly, “And this spell of sharing Yin can only be used once in a lifetime. I’ve used it with you. Don’t you think I truly love you? Since ours is true love, if I did something wrong before we were together, please don’t be too angry when you hear it, all right?”

Gu Kaifeng was silent, his expression dark.

Lin Feiran moved even closer and kissed him. “Kaifeng?”

Gu Kaifeng: “Oh.”

Lin Feiran used his trump card: “Hubby? Alright, hubby?”

Gu Kaifeng’s face was blank and expressionless. Coldly he said, “Whether I’m angry will depend on the situation.”

Lin Feiran’s eyes dimmed and he backed away a little: “You can be angry with me, and you can scold me, but you can’t break up with me.”

Gu Kaifeng could not hold it in any more and let out a bark of laughter.

Lin Feiran: “......”

“How could I break up with you? What are you thinking?” Gu Kaifeng gripped the nape of Lin Feiran’s neck and shook it slightly, then pressed their foreheads together and said gently, “I can’t even bear to scold you. Tell me. I’m forgiving you beforehand.”

Lin Feiran tightened his hands which were encircling Gu Kaifeng, and used his Great Sticky Cake Technique to stick to Gu Kaifeng, as if afraid Gu Kaifeng would tear him off. After making these preparations, Lin Feiran took a deep breath and confessed it all in one breath: “Since my Yin-Yang eyes opened, I can also see the strength of someone’s Yang energy. Probably because of your innate body constitution, your Yang energy is really, really strong. Every time I touch you, I can absorb a bit of it. When I absorb Yang energy, my Yin-Yang eyes are disabled for a while. If I touch you once, it will be disabled for about five minutes. And the things you use also have residual Yang energy. When I got close to you, at first it was in order not to see ghosts. I only fell for you later... sorry.”

“......” On Gu Kaifeng’s face surfaced an expression that was one part amused, two parts surprised, three parts upset, four parts total realization and, and twenty thousand parts embarrassed!

“I’m really sorry!” Lin Feiran squirmed back and forth in Gu Kaifeng’s embrace, whining and acting spoiled. “I was very scared at that time! I know I’m wrong! You can scold me, or even hit me...”

“All right.” Gu Kaifeng gradually recovered, and the embarrassment on his face faded somewhat, but his handsome face was still red. He grit out word by word, “All right, Lin Feiran.”

Lin Feiran hugged Gu Kaifeng tightly and said pitifully, “I’m here.”

Gu Kaifeng smoothly leaned forward over the bed, pressing Lin Feiran securely beneath him. With a blank face he said seriously, “Your darling hubby is very emotionally injured right now. How do you intend to make it up to him?”
