Chapter 15 - A Male Venus
However, the man was oblivious to Yuan Ge's gaze and just stared at him with those big, empty, unfocused eyes, while holding on to his hand tightly. Only then did Yuan Ge notice that he had a white silk scarf wrapped around his neck, with bright red strangulation marks underneath, exactly like the way his protagonist, Rong Qing, had died!
What the hell is going on here!
Yuan Ge felt a chill down his spine and his scalp tingling. But as a staunch atheist, Yuan Ge firmly believed that "there is no ghost in the world, but ghosts are born from the heart", so how could this person in front of him, who resembled Rong Qing so much, be real? It must be because he had been so immersed in writing that he had begun to hallucinate. Perhaps the most plausible explanation is that this man is a Cosplayer. Judging from the age, he is either a highschooler or a university student. Perhaps he heard somewhere that a film was being made in this old mansion, so he tried to get the director's attention by cosplaying in an ancient costume to get himself a part in the film. Young people nowadays are so determined that they will do anything for a hobby, even unafraid of freezing to death in the middle of the night! How immature! Yuan Ge thus made a judgement and came to this conclusion about the unusual scene in front of him.
"Hey kid, are you trying to cosplay Rong Qing from my film? Come on, get up, you're going to freeze to death if you keep lying here. Just let go of my hand and go home, or I can call an ambulance for you if you need it."
However, the boy remained unresponsive to Yuan Ge's questions. His unfocused eyes stared blankly into the darkness, seemingly completely unable to see or hear.. He kept shivering with a hoarse choking sound coming out of his mouth, but he seemed to be unable to form a complete sentence, both hands still clinging to Yuan Ge's hand, not letting him go.
Yuan Ge waved his other hand in front of him a few times and saw that the boy was still staring straight ahead as if he was blind. This was impossible! How could a cosplayer not be able to see? Was he showing off his acting skills or something? Although his miserable appearance made Yuan Ge feel sympathetic towards him, it was still annoying to be pestered by such a strange boy in the middle of the night. Yuan Ge stood up and tried to get away from him, but the boy seemed determined and refused to let go, therefore he was pulled up to his feet by Yuan Ge.
"Hey, enough is enough!" Yuan Ge finally lost his patience and reached out to push him away on the shoulders. But just as he and the boy wrestled together, the elegant-looking white silk robe the boy was wearing suddenly crumbled into pieces and fell to the ground, swept up by a gust of wind and blown away without a trace. In the moonlight, the boy in front of him was instantly naked, revealing his jade-like body, even his private parts were exposed.
Yuan Ge was completely stunned. He didn't know where to put his eyes. Even though he didn't want to look, this boy's naked body was right in front of him and he simply couldn't miss it. His well-proportioned body made Yuan Ge feel that if there was a male version of Venus in this world, it would probably look like this boy right in front of him.
The boy still seemed unable to see, yet he too felt his nakedness and hurriedly let go of one hand, trying to use it to desperately cover his private parts, but the other hand still clung to Yuan Ge firmly. The red hue at the end of his eyes became brighter, and large teardrops flowed from his eyes, as clear as crystal. He looked like a pear blossom in the rain, sobbing silently, a pained expression mixed with extreme shyness that made the hearts of all who saw him ache.
