[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 25

Besides, speaking of snacks, wasn't Sherlock the one who ate the most at dinner? Everyone had no appetite while he ate the best. The Xie family's eldest son felt the whole thing was more and more baffling and didn't know what to say. He struggled for a while before deciding to start with the painting itself. "Painting?"

The young man's gaze was fixed on the painting and he seemed to want to borrow it and directly examine it. He believed that there would never be anyone who would go out in the middle of the night to draw an ordinary painting. This painting must have another mystery.

Xiao Li asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Xie Lingshi nodded hesitantly.

"Say please."

Xie Lingshi, "..."

"Forget it." The teenager opposite him generously handed over the canvas.

The brown-haired youth held it and unfolded the canvas.

Frankly speaking, before seeing the painting, Xie Lingshi thought he would see a beautiful piece of art-a landscape, person or object. He even thought he wouldn't be surprised if he saw a ghost or animal. However, everything he imagined in his mind was thrown out when he saw the canvas.

It was a person... right? He could faintly discern the hair and eyes. As for the other strange 'facial features', only a benevolent and wise person could see it. The young man stared at the painting for a long time before squeezing out an awkward smile that didn't lose its politeness. "...This painting is quite special."

It was quite special. It was especially ugly. Apart from being ugly, it had no other features. Was this really an ordinary painting that this person drew because of an itch? It was just that the painting was ugly but the colour matching was a bit familiar... as if he had seen it before. Xie Lingshi searched his mind but couldn't remember it.

Xiao Li took back the pairing and raised his eyelids to sweep a gaze over the other person. He wanted to leave when he suddenly faced the window on the other side. Xie Lingshi was startled and subconsciously followed the gaze.

It was unknown when the rain started outside but the rain was sweeping through the window. Xiao Li walked over and closed the window. The raindrops hit his cuffs and wet his shirt, like thick blood.

The storm rolled up furiously, smashing the suspension bridge connecting the manor to the outside world. The narrow suspension bridge was like a lonely boat drifting in a storm. It was torn apart in an instant and fell into the sea. The whistling sound that followed was like the roar of a deep sea animal that was cut off by the window.

Xie Lingshi witnessed all of this. "...Hah, this is really a blizzard mountain."

The doll in Xiao Li's pocket shifted positions but he didn't say anything. He just held the plate in his hand and walked back to his room.

Xie Lingshi looked at his back and thought of the painting incident after dinner. The man had also left like this. Then the colours of the ghost painting returned to his mind. Wasn't the beautiful woman in the painting blonde?! In addition, she had stared at this person!

In an instant, many things flashed in Xie Lingshi's heart, from 'the female ghost hooked the soul' to 'the overbearing female ghost fell in love with me.'

In the end, he shook his head. How could there be an infatuated ghost in the instance world? The evil spirits here fed on flesh and blood, enjoying the fear and screams of humans. Being targeted by the evil spirit of the castle would only lead to sorrow. Of course, he couldn't rule out that this person had some secrets that would allow him to withstand evil spirits. Who didn't have secrets?
