Chapter 183: Leave or Stay
Chapter 183: Leave or Stay
Unfortunately, he'd missed a step. During his absence, their relationship had already become clear. Finding Jom in his old place was a complete impossibility. So, after searching the empty rooms, he scratched his head and left.
He wanted to yell Jom's name. But there were other people nearby, so he searched room by room to prevent any reports of paranormal activity. Luckily for him, as he emerged from his room, he made eye contact with two people returning from outside.
Their eyes met. Jom and Yai dropped their shovels, a piercing sound that startled them all awake. Yai's first reaction was to pull Jom behind him. Even though he was nervous, he summoned the courage of a boyfriend.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" He regretted asking this question because he subconsciously scanned the shadows on the ground and clearly there was no shadow of Tucha.
"You, you, we." We didn't mean to dig your grave.
Before he could finish his words, Tucha heard the system notification sound. He cursed inwardly, "This is such a crappy system! There's not even time for us to talk to each other. It's truly the worst system I've ever encountered."
Of course, if the system could hear his thoughts, it would definitely respond: "Haha, I'm the only system you've encountered. Where do the other systems come from?" I think you've read too many system stories. You always think systems are some powerful, advanced creatures.
If Little Ladder knew this, the subsystem he created would think this way and would immediately summon it back and remodel it.
What it said was simply a disgrace to their system world! It must be retrained.
Ignoring their pale faces, Tucha strode forward and thrust the box into Yai's hands. She was indeed addressing Jom, "Brother Jom, I've returned to the modern world. I'm here to see you in spirit form. This box contains the Soul-Fixing Orb, something that can stabilize your spirit. Wear it if you don't want to return so soon."
As soon as Tucha finished talking, his figure disappeared in front of them. If there was no red box in Yai's hand, they would have thought that what they saw was an illusion.
Jom looked around but couldn't see Tucha anymore. He looked at the box in Yai's hand and raised his eyes to meet his.
After washing up, the two sat on the bed, looking at the box in their hands. They couldn't make a decision. After all, what had just happened was too unbelievable. In the end, Yai decided to take the bracelet to see the master from last time tomorrow.
I learned from the master that this bracelet does have the effect of stabilizing the soul, and was accurately explained that if Jom wanted to stay in this era, he could take her with him.
When Yai learned about the bracelet's function, he desperately wanted to wear it immediately. However, he knew that everything depended on Jom's choice, so he left the decision to him.
Jom recalled the scene when Tucha brought him the bracelet. He was not afraid when he saw Tucha. The reason he was stunned was because of the gauze on Tucha's neck.
The neck was wrapped in layers of gauze, and he thought of the last body he saw. He guessed that the wound must have been brought back to the modern era. It was just that he was lucky to receive timely treatment, allowing him to survive again.
He felt relieved to know that he was still alive in his original world, because this way, when he returned, he would be able to see him alive again.
Jom sat at the desk and picked up the bracelet in the box. He was struggling with whether to stay or leave.
If he stayed, what would happen to his parents and sister? If he left, he couldn't bear to leave because his lover was here.
Days passed, and when he woke up again and saw his more transparent body, he knew he had to make a decision.
He hadn't failed to notice Yai's gaze flickering to his wrist these days, the disappointment in his eyes when he didn't see the bracelet. He knew he wanted him to keep it. To give himself more time to think, he hadn't mentioned it in the past few days.
After delivering the items, Tu Cha woke up and found herself in a familiar embrace. She looked up and saw the face that made her heart beat faster. She nuzzled into his arms and asked, "How did you know I was in the car?"
"When I came back and didn't see you, I thought you'd run off in your car." He put down Tay, who was taller than him, and said, "Hmph, only you. It took me so much effort to carry you to the elevator."
Knowing that he had tired the man out, Tu Cha rubbed his sore arm ingratiatingly: "Well, it's my fault. I made my wife tired. Next time, just wake me up directly and don't tire yourself out."
Tay glanced at him with a bit of arrogance: "Humph, if it weren't for the fact that you're still a patient, do you think I can bear this kind of hardship?"
"Yeah, Tay is the best. Come on, give me a kiss (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~"
One night, while half asleep, Tu Cha suddenly woke up from his sleep. He sat up abruptly and said: No, it was midnight when I went there. What were they doing with shovels so late?
His mind went blank, and he finally thought: Oh my god, they're not going to dig up graves! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, who's so unlucky to have their graves dug up? But this has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he yawned loudly, tucked himself into the quilt and crawled into Tay's arms, falling asleep while smelling the familiar scent.
That day, as Yai sat in the living room waiting for Jom to come downstairs, he appeared calm on the outside, but inside, a turmoil welled up in his heart. These past few days, he'd been living like it was his last.
The first familiar person appeared at the door, followed by the second and third. Even after everyone had arrived, Jom still hadn't come down. Feeling a sense of foreboding, Yai ran upstairs amidst everyone's surprised gazes. One of them, guessing something, had a look of sadness in his eyes.
Yai stood in front of the door, which he could easily push open, but he paused for some reason. He was worried that if he pushed it open, there would be no one inside. However, he was desperate to know the truth, so he wanted to push the door open immediately.
He reached out his hand again, his hand trembling unconsciously. Finally, the door opened. The opening of the door brought peace of mind to Yai, who had been torn between feelings.
"Jom."
When Jom opened the door, he saw tears in Yai's eyes. He saw fear, worry, and deep love after relaxation.
"Well, sorry to have kept you waiting."
The tears that had been accumulating in his eyes finally fell at this moment. Jom reached out and wiped the tears from his cheek, then smiled again, meeting his eyes. "I'm sorry, I've made you so restless these past few days."
Yai reached out and grabbed the hand that was resting on his face and shook his head: "This is a difficult choice. I wouldn't make this decision lightly if I were in your shoes."
The moment Jom opened the door and saw the beads on her wrist, he knew the person in front of him had chosen to stay for him. So the anxiety, sadness, and grief in these people's hearts intertwined with the joy of this moment, and the tears they had been hiding for days burst out at this moment.
"Yeah." Jom took a step forward and hugged him, letting his aura envelope him.
Mom, Dad, and sister, I hope you won't blame me for making this choice. He is the most important person in my life, and I want to spend my life with him.
Holding Yai's arm tightly, the red bracelet on her left wrist emitted a soft glow under the sunlight.
They hugged for a long time, and when it was almost time, Jom came out of his arms.
"Let's go, there are many people waiting for us downstairs."
"Ah."
