A ghost?

Yibo didn't move for a few minutes.
"Where did he go?"

"He was just there... I didn't hear any sounds or anything."

"He was ghost.. sure ghost..or why he vanished when the light came? Or it's not for the light, but something else!"

"But if he will vanish like this then why he asked for opening the window?"

"He probably didn't expect that he will vanish."

"Still these doesn't make sense."

Lots of questions came to his mind but no answer.
Yibo searched him in other rooms but he nowhere can be seen.
.

.

"Is he tried to scare me?"

"But why?"

"What if he is a local people, came to bully a newcomer."

.

Yibo can't think any more. He was feeling so uneasy.

"Is it hallucinations? I need some air" he thought and left the room.

"So many headaches on the first day! Should I talk to the landlady? Nah! It's not a good idea. Let's look around. I don't have any prove, they will think, I'm a lunatic.

He didn't do anything to me. He wasn't scary. And he didn't try to harm me. So it probably oky to stay here. " Yibo thought while coming down from the stairs.

Yibo went outside. It's a place of beautiful scenery. This place was separated by hills from other parts. But this place has good transportation routes with nearby towns as people here have the business of silks. They need to go to many places and towns.
Yibo's university was in next town, It's easier to go to university from here than his home-town. Living in the city was a bit tough. Things were costly and not enough rooms were available. So he was staying here.

Yibo was wandering around. The weather was really nice here. He felt better. His university class will start from tomorrow. Today he is free.

The people did not seem that evil who could try to bully him. They seemed peaceful ordinary person.
It was not a big place. Most of the people know each other. As he was new here, he could feel everyone's gaze.
His belly made a sound to alert him that it needs some food.

"Tsk! I'm hungry. I still have lots to do in the new room. I don't know to whom I can ask about my experience..I don't want them to treat me as a mad man. I have to live here..sigh"

He saw a small restaurant.. well, it's not a so-called restaurant but a hotel with one wall and a roof for eating.
He went in. The owner welcomed him with a smile.

"Are you new here, mister ?" He asked.

"Yes, I just moved here," Yibo said politely.

"Please take a seat. Where are you staying? Who was with you?" He asked again.

"D*mn, so many questions!!! Why he needs all of these anyway?" Yibo thought inside but didn't show his unpleasant mood on his face.

He replied to his answers but the questions kept on coming.

Yibo once thought to leave the place. But it will be impolite. At that moment they served him hot yummy food.

Yibo couldn't wait for a moment and jump on the food. And, He burnt his tongue.

Yibo took water and again started eating. The food was really tasty.

"Mister, eat slowly, I'll give you more. A young boy like you should eat more. It's really pleasant to look at your eating. Please enjoy the food" the owner said and smiled.

Yibo's mouth was stuffed with food, so he just nods.

Later the shop owner came to him, for asking if he needs more. This time Yibo started questioning him.

"Mister, how long you are doing business here?"

"It's been long. I don't know. My father used to run this shop before me, and my grandfather used to run it before my father. That's what I heard. I also have a son, I'm hoping he will take the business as well, but who knows. Boys these days......"

"Oh, do this place has a History?" Yibo asked again.

"Yes, there were many stories. As you can see, this place is guarded with hills. It developed its own way. When I was little I heard this place wasn't as crowded as it now. It used to be rocky and filled with tresses, there was a huge forest over there... A monk made it this way. He made people living here, he also started growing some vegetables. Someone says he is not a monk but a wizard, who can control ghosts.. who knows.. this happened years ago.."
The owner seemed lost in his stories.

Yibo stopped him and asked, "what's his name?"

"His name? Who knows?" , "You really like history or you just like to hear stories? Ha ha ha.."

Yibo gave a smile. He really doesn't like this much talking next to his ears...But He needs some info to get the meaning of his earlier experience.

When he left the shop, the road became busier than morning. He thought "I need a shower"

Nothing happened in whole days. Yibo spent his day arranging his room. The landlady came to meet him once. Yibo didn't find any clue about his experience earlier. He didn't say anything to the landlady. He thought he will solve the mystery.

"As long as he wasn't a ghost, it's fine! It's like a fantasy story.. let's see what happens" He thought.

Yibo finished arranging his room. He washed up and took something to eat. As the night was falling, he was feeling a bit scared.

Song helps at the moment like this. Yibo put his earphones on, time passed. Yibo was busy with his own.

🎵Look what you made me do look what you made me do..... ...every drama..drama.. hu.uuu...🎵

Yibo kept singing, moving his head and body weirdly. He has a passion for dancing. He was totally into singing and dancing. He didn't notice what happened behind him.

Wei Wuxian appeared again. This time he was sitting a bit far away from the bed.
He saw Yibo but did not understand what's going on... He never saw anything like this..and what is he even speaking?

"It's true his Chinese is different than mine. Still, this is not Chinese. Why is he throwing his legs and hands like this? Uhu.. I never saw a growl move like this.. It's not ghoul what posses him, it's something else!" Wei Wuxian thought.

At then, Yibo noticed him and raised his eyebrows and took off his headphone.
"You!"
"You again!"

"Huh! He seems normal right now, then what happened a few minutes ago?" Wei Wuxian has never been this confused before. Never.

"Ahm ahm!" He cleaned his throat. "Yes, but why are you addressing me 'you', it's not honourable. Young guys have no manner! Tsk!"

"Honour to a ghost? Stop kidding me." Yibo thought.

"Oky oky, but can you tell me why all people have so many problems with 'young-people'.. everyone just keeps blaming 'young-people' 'young-people'. Are they all born old?" Yibo said.

Wei Wuxian laughed hard. His usual smile.!

"Those damn smile!" Yibo thought and looked away. He took a glass of water and a packet of chips and offered Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxain always has a friendly aura, mainly when he smiles like that.

"Want some?"

"Ah oky, thank you! Seems spicy!" Wei Wuxian took one.

.

"This thing seems will go well with wine." Wei Wuxian said.

"Yes. I know!"

"So, do you have some?"

"No"

"Oh!" Wei Wuxian sounded disappointed.

"What was the thing you had put in your ear?" Wei Wuxian asked.

"You mean this? It's called earphones. Wanna try?" Yibo offered him. "This gonna be fun." He thought.

Wei Wuxian took that and put in his ears as Yibo instructed.

"Ok, I'm playing the song."
Yibo turned on the music.

"Aaaaaa!" Wei Wuxian dropped them from his ears.

"It's too loud. What's going on? What kind of instrument is that?"

"The expression is priceless." Yibo thought and laughing so hard.
Wei Wuxian sat with a poker face.

...

"Oky now tell me how you have vanished that day?" Yibo's face was serious.

"It's probably the light. The sunlight made me disappear from here and sent me to my room" Wei Wuxian said.

"You went back to your room?"

"Yes!"

"And the whole morning, we didn't see each other, but at night, we can. I think there is something making me going forward with the time." Wei Wuxian said.

"Perhaps, but has this happened before? With other people?" Yibo asked.

"No!"

"Then why now, why with me?"

" I'm not sure, but probably you are somehow linked with me or our time. That's why." Wei Wuxian said.
"Or you are really future Lan Wangji" he thought but didn't say this to him.
Wei Wuxian brushed his nose-tip.

"So, Do I have to live with you?" Yibo said.

"Probably", Wei Wuxian shrugged.
"Why? Am I a bad roommate? Hee hee," he made a big smile and came closer.

"You talk too much!" Yibo said in a poker face and moved his head another way.

Wei Wuxian paused for a moment. Then blast with laughter.

"Hahaha! You really act like Lan Zhan." He said.

"I'm not that weird Wangji guy. Stop calling me that." Yibo protested.

Nobody addressed the great Han Guan Jun like this before. At least Wei Wuxian never heard this. He found this kinda funny. He started talking about him. After all .....yes of course...

Wei Wuxian said, "Yes yes you are not like him. I'm telling you, don't be like him. What a fuddy-daddy.. Wears mourning clothes, always follows rule - pretends good student. It's really boring. He doesn't smile not even speak much. Yes, he is really handsome and strong and trustworthy.. I found he really has a good heart inside him. He cares. Where nobody cared about me, he was still there. His eyes are deep, his long hair, melodious gu quin.. Haha, He is shy too, he doesn't like to let anyone see his body..but his body is really manly..."

"Ahem! Your speech is going a different way, man!" Yibo stopped him.

"Eh!" Wei Wuxian shocked a bit.. and gave an awkward smile.

"You like him."

"Hu?" Wei Wuxian made his eyes bigger.

"Noh! I'm not into him. Many girls were there for me." He smirked. "He is a real friend of mine. A person like him will never get a bride. Ha ha.. what a pity of that handsome face of han guan Jun.."

"You know him too much." Yibo sipped his drink.

"Um, probably. I'm a good person too.. so." He grinned. "But, he doesn't like my talking, he activated silent spell on me!"

Then Wei Wuxian thought,"Well, those were only the first times in Gusu. He didn't use it after that !."

"Silent spell? What's that?" Yibo asked.

"It's a spell to silence someone. It is Lan Zhan's clan's speciality." Wei Wuxian replied.

"Wah! I really need that, as it looks like I have to live with you" Yibo said in a 'fake-sad and naughty' face.

Yibo was not actually that sad. It's not bad to having someone around. But it didn't seem like, he was not someone who will not interfere with personal space. He did know lots of fantasy drama like this. It's not bad having a connection with the fantasy world. He thought. Though he will still prefer to live alone.

"Who knows if the person you are talking about will also come here, I mean in this world!" Yibo told Wei Wuxian.

"Who? Lan Zhan? Um... Who knows, if he comes then I may get an idea what's happening! He is intelligent enough. " Wei Wuxian said.

"Again!" Yibo rolled up eyes.

"Now I want to see him, who is the person covered your senses this much!" Yibo said.

"Huh! Of course not. How can....." He paused suddenly, gave a shy smile. Then he noticed something, and brushed his nose-tip.

"I can show him to you," Wei Wuxian said.

"How? Are you gonna perform some kind of magic?" Yibo looked at him.

Wei Wuxian took a medium size thing and came back to Yibo, hiding his hands behind him.

"No, with the magic of your world" Wei Wuxian said and hold it in front of his face. It's a mirror. Now Yibo's face reflecting on it.

"It's him." Wei Wuxian said and took his all teeth out.

Yibo first startled, then do his everything not to smile. Then grabbed Wei Wuxian's hand, said, "What kind of move is that? Are you flirting with me? So cheap.."

"Wait, no I told you before, you exactly look like him.. so" Wei Wuxian defended himself.

"I asked for that person you described, you moron." Yibo said.

"Haha, you were looking cute back then, you know?" Wei Wuxian can't stop himself to tease him.

"What did you say? Huh?? Say again?" Yibo went near him, threatening him.

Wei Wuxian was sitting on the bed.
"You . were . looking . cute . then" he said each word at a time.

"Am I a girl? I'm not cute." Yibo said.

"You are not a girl, but that's cute." Wei Wuxian said again.

"Your boyfriend is cute. Stop bothering me!!" Yibo shouted.

"Well, I said kinda same thing.. isn't it?" Wei Wuxian said.

"You...." Yibo was angry. But suddenly His facial expression changed,
"So yo now saying he was your boyfriend, huh?" Yibo chuckled.

"As you mean him, so I sent back to you. Hehe" Wei Wuxian smiled. it was shameless. In Lan Wangji's way -"pathetic".

Yibo gave a killing look then took his eyes back. What can he say after that smile?

"I have to go to university tomorrow, I need some preparation. Don't bother me." Yibo said and looked for his books and stuff.

Wei Wuxian didn't bother him. But he is a curious person. So he didn't stop notice everything 'from future'. It's pretty interesting and he tried to figure out why he was here as well.

No matter what he said, Yibo can't stop following Wei Wuxian too. He is mysterious.

After several minutes Wei Wuxian said, "you are boring"

"Say again?" Yibo moved like a rocket.
"What you are touching? I just arranged them today!!" He said.

Wei Wuxian was raffaling some magazines from a book rack. And found those were about racing or cartoon stuff, men clothing and others.

"I said You are boring. shouldn't a young boy like you have some naughty books? Huhhh??" Wei Wuxian looked at Yibo meaningfully.

"Get out! Stop messing with me!" Yibo was red.

"Ha ha ha ha...." Wei Wuxian started running inside the house and Yibo followed him.
