Chapter 31 Ke Fan's Birth Mother
Chapter 31 Ke Fan's Birth Mother
Ke Fan obediently sat down on the chair next to him, watching Jiang Hongyu take out the candle from the dessert shop and put it on the cake, he quickly reached out to protect it: "Hey! Don't damage my cake!"
This cake is very high-end at first glance. It is the kind of social animal Ke Fan who is willing to buy himself a small piece of cake when he is very happy about his promotion and salary increase.
Jiang Hongyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Baby, it's all meant to be inserted inside, and so are others."
Ke Fan withdrew his hand and said, "Okay then, you can intervene."
Jiang Hongyu inserted the candle and lit the wick with his fingertips.Looking back, he suddenly found that Ke Fan's face was flushed, and he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Ke Fan shook his head desperately: "It's okay, it's okay!"
He moved his face closer to the candlelight, and suddenly asked Jiang Hongyu, "Do you want to close your eyes or open them when making a wish?"
Jiang Hongyu chuckled, walked slowly behind Ke Fan, and bent down.His hands stretched out from both sides of Ke Fan's body, and gently covered his eyes: "Make a wish."
Ke Fan's eyes were covered with Jiang Hongyu's hand. There was light in the room, and he could see the opponent's palmprint slowly approaching until it covered his skin, forcing him to close his eyes.
It's like every time he kisses himself tenderly when he is in bed with a warm feeling.
Ke Fan was silent for a few seconds, and vigorously blew out the candle in front of him.
"How did you know about my birthday?" Ke Fan held a knife and divided the cake as a birthday person for the first time in his life.He reluctantly cut the first piece and handed it to Jiang Hongyu with both hands.
"Come here." Jiang Hongyu took a sip with a fork, then pulled Ke Fan onto his lap, and sat facing each other in a familiar posture.
He didn't rush to answer, and kissed Ke Fan's mouth directly.The cake that exploded in heat could not show its sweetness only between the lover's lips and teeth. Ke Fan was dizzy, and the only thought was that the red velvet was delicious.
After the kiss was over, Jiang Hongyu said, "Your mother told me."
Ke Fan stiffened visibly to the naked eye.
"I, I..." Ke Fan stammered, his mind went blank, and he couldn't say the title at all.
"Your mother." Jiang Hongyu gently put his hand behind Ke Fan's head to support him, "I found your mother, and she told me that your birthday is today."
Ke Fan is at a loss, he has been looking for his biological parents.He went to the police station to file a record, went to Xunqian.com to register and upload information, and also dived all night in the post bar forum to compare the information posted by others one by one.
When he is frustrated, he will also look at the posts on Zhihu to see examples of those who have found their loved ones.
But this world is too big, once we are separated, it is too difficult to meet again.
Having experienced too many disappointments, coupled with Ke Fan's living conditions, he did not allow him to give up everything to find his parents.Now he regards it as an ordinary task that he does only when he thinks about it, without any hope.
But what did he hear just now?Jiang Hongyu found his mother and asked about his birthday.
"Baby." Jiang Hongyu called him worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Ke Fan shook his head, he found himself very calm.
"Is she doing well?" Ke Fan asked, whether she was doing well or not, whether she was always looking for herself, or had already lived a happy life enough to forget that she had a son, he would not be surprised.
"She's dead." Jiang Hongyu stroked Ke Fan's back lightly. "She drank the Meng Po soup from Naihe Bridge and waited in the underworld for more than 20 years."
Ke Fan's eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Hongyu helplessly.
Jiang Hongyu held Ke Fan in his arms, patted him on the back, and said slowly: "Ghosts will drink Meng Po soup to forget the past when they enter the underworld, but everyone has an immunity from forgetting once. Some people choose If you have acquired your own professional knowledge, you will be very talented in the next life. Some people choose the name of their lover. In the next life, no matter where or what they are reincarnated into, as long as they meet by chance, fate will be involved. Your mother died of a sudden illness soon after giving birth. Yes, she chose to remember your birthday."
Jiang Hongyu thought of the scene he saw when he asked Bai Wuchang to take him to the haunted house to find Ke Fan's mother after checking the life and death book.
She has no memory of her previous life, and is doing ordinary work like thousands of other ghosts waiting to be reincarnated, accumulating Yin virtues and waiting to be reincarnated.But Wuchang, who manages this ghost house, said that this female ghost accumulates much slower than others.Because every August NO.16, she would use the very precious Yinde coins to go to the headquarters of the Nine Hells to buy cakes and white candles.
On this day, she will light the white candles on the cake and sing the happy birthday song while clapping her hands.Sometimes by myself, sometimes with other ghosts.Until the candle burns out and the poorly made cake is stained with a piece of melted wax.
She didn't remember who she was singing for, nor why she did it that day. After the faint blue flame of the candle burned out, she would stare blankly at the front in a daze.
Every year.
Dozens of ghost cakes have been sold in the Nine Hells for thousands of years, half of which were sold to her.
Jiang Hongyu sighed. He didn't even need to ask any more questions. During this period of time when he went to work and read the files, he caught a lot of ghosts with miserable life experiences, so he didn't feel a little bit disturbed.
But now, he really feels bad for Ke Fan.He couldn't even tell whether such a truth was more fortunate or unlucky for Ke Fan.
"I want to visit my mother." Ke Fan buried his head in Jiang Hongyu's neck and said in a muffled voice.
In fact, Jiang Hongyu's career was not satisfactory during this time.
Even though he has arrived at the assigned position, it is nothing more than adjudicating the case and cleaning up the wild ghosts.It is an easy job that can no longer be idle.
But he needs to clock in every day and stay in the underworld for ten hours, so his wish to be inseparable from Ke Fan has come to naught.
What made him most uncomfortable was that the branding incident last time was extremely abnormal, but no one from Hades to Impermanence revealed anything.
After working here for a few days, Jiang Hongyu discovered that the order in the underworld is very strict.Within the scope of the bottom line, everything is clearly marked.For example, he can get five round cyan stones similar to copper coins for a day of work. These things can be exchanged for Yang Qi, Yin Virtue, Ghost Shou and even the opportunity to walk in the Yang world in other affairs departments.
If you save more, you can hope to reincarnate earlier.
"So the Department of Underworld Affairs is a golden rice bowl, and all the ghosts have sharpened their heads to get into it." Bai Wuchang once told him.
Except Jiang Hongyu.
Free he seemed to be put into a cover.
However, when he redeemed Yang Qi on the weekend, he found that the job was really good.
Because of his relationship before, Ke Fan's vitality was seriously damaged.Jiang Hongyu feels distressed every time he sees the white hair hidden in Ke Fan's hair.
So he resolutely refused to do it with Ke Fan during this time.At night, when the little guy groaned and pretended to be asleep, and limp on purpose and rubbed against him, Jiang Hongyu would hold his hands and feet and tie him in his arms.
In a few days, Ke Fan was so angry that he wanted to DIY.
Are you kidding me, I'm a coward, I don't want to live such a life of asceticism, is Jiang Hongyu right?
Ke Fan thought angrily while brushing his teeth in a dropped shoulder vest.
However, this day Jiang Hongyu returned home with a week's salary in exchange for Yang Qi, and Ke Fan, who had just opened his posture and held his little guy, was caught.
"I was wrong, oh my husband, I don't want it anymore..."
After Jiang Hongyu tossed Ke Fan on the bed, he watched the little guy who had been thoroughly cleaned up gradually become rosy and healthy, and he was in a good mood.
The next day, Ke Fan chased and scratched Jiang Hongyu like a furry cat, from the bedroom to the balcony.Jiang Hongyu, who found that Ke Fan's spirit had recovered, was very satisfied, and never complained about the job.
But now, facing Ke Fan's pleading eyes, Jiang Hongyu's dissatisfaction with work once again rose in his heart.
"Please." Ke Fan was a little anxious, "I just want to take a look at my mother from a distance, just one look."
Jiang Hongyu couldn't bear the pitiful deer-like wet eyes at all, and wanted to agree.
But he has no money.
The money saved during this period was used to buy yang energy for Ke Fan, and part of the salary was advanced to buy some yin virtue for the ghost of Ke Fan's biological mother.
In just a few seconds, Jiang Hongyu went from distressed to guilty to numb. He understood the embarrassment of those husbands who couldn't afford their wives' favorite necklaces in the mall.
Even if he can't go back to his past, Ke Fan is still the person on his heart, his little cutie.He is willing to do everything for Ke Fan to make him happy.
But he has no money.
He has no money!
Ke Fan in his arms leaned against him. He never wanted to cause trouble for others, but now his eyes were full of struggle and longing.
"Okay." Jiang Hongyu made up his mind and tenderly kissed Ke Fan's upturned face, "I will take you there tomorrow."

What if Mr. Jiang has no money?Just grab it.
