"This is your house!" Huai Xu asked knowingly, he stopped his gaze on the table lamp in front of Zhou Li, and resisted the desire to touch it in the past, "This small street lamp is quite chic, I have always wanted to know how this thing is bright!"

"Here's how it works... When the power is on, it lights up. ”

“...... Oh!"

Huai Xu seemed to understand.

Then he turned to look at Zhou Li's bed: "This bed is also chic, but why do you sleep in two beds by yourself? Do you still have a maid or something?"

"I bought it when I was a kid and I slept with my brother and he slept on the top bunk. Later, when we grew up, we didn't sleep together, and when we went to middle school, we moved the bed to this house. Zhou Li turned around and looked at Huai Xu, whose eyes were flying.

"Then you don't want to sleep on the top side, you can sleep on the bottom when you want to!"

"Pretty much. ”

"That's good!" Huai Xu sighed, and then pointed to Zhou Li's bookshelf, densely packed, "Have you read so many books?"

"Mostly textbooks. ”

"Oh! I know!" Huai Xu nodded, his gaze continuing to fly around.

Zhou Li found that something seemed to be reversed, so when Huai Xu's gaze stopped on the hyacinth on his desk and was about to ask the next question, he rushed in front of him: "Do you often stay on that tree?"

"No, I don't. Huaixu's eyes were fixed on Hyacinth, "Why does that grass grow in the water? There is no soil, and the roots are soaked white." ”

"So you waited for me at that intersection tonight?"

"How do you know? I don't, it's a coincidence, and the two of us are really fated. ”

"Then why are you in that tree again, you weren't there the other day. ”

"Yes? That's a real deal. ”

“...... That's a hyacinth, you can't drown. ”

"Hyacinths. Huai Xu repeated.

"You said you just woke up, did you sleep for a long time?"

"yes. ”

"How long was that?"

"I don't know, I don't have a watch like you, anyway, I think the world has changed for a long time. ”

"Then what was your previous world like?" Zhou Li grabbed a point in Huai's preface.

"I don't remember, it's not like that anyway. ”

"Do you feel strange? What do you remember?"

"Hmm. A lot of them don't remember, but occasionally I can remember a little bit, and I should wake up like this. Huai Xu's eyes showed a little dazed, there were only some fragments in his mind, but they couldn't be coherent, and every time he touched it, it was very uncomfortable. In order to cope with this discomfort, he had to stop recalling.

"Where do you sleep? underground, in a coffin, in a cave?"

"Where you can't see. ”

"Are they all like that?"

"I guess so?"

"Then what are you?" Zhou Li pursed his lips when he asked this question, "Where are you from?"

"Demons, spirits, gods, and monsters?" Huai Xu's eyes were puzzled when he replied, as if he was not sure about these questions like Zhou Li, "It's still the monsters who scream the most, and there are some ugly swear words, as for where we came from...... I've heard other demons say that we may not be things in this world, so you don't like us. ”

"How long have you been awake?"

"It's been more than a year. ”

"It's been more than a year, I remember......" Zhou Li questioned, "Aren't there quite a lot of your kind, and there are many people who are with each other, why don't you go to them?"

"They didn't like me, the little ones avoided me, and the big ones wouldn't let me stay on their turf. Maybe it's because I look like a human. Huai Xu was a little angry when he said this, "Actually, I'm very easy to get along with, I think." ”

"You just said that you heard from other demons that you may not be something in this world. ”

"What's wrong?"

"They don't want to contact you, why are they telling you this?"

"I have a special skill for asking for advice. ”

"Oh. ”

Zhou Li finally understood, the lord who said to him just now, 'You ask, I know everything I know' is actually still confused, and he can't provide him with much useful information at all. And he didn't quite believe this information.

So he withdrew his gaze, turned around and silently picked up the pen, the noisy sound of rain outside making this early summer night seem extraordinarily quiet.

"I'm going to write a paper, so stay here. ”

"What is a roll?"

"It's the question, if you don't do it again, you'll have to stay up late, and I'll hand it over to the teacher early tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh, you can do it. Huaixu fell silent.

The small sound of the nib rubbing against the paper can easily be drowned out by the sound of rain.

Zhou Li wrote for a while, turned his head to look, and saw Huai Xu still leaning on the ladder of the high and low bed, staring straight at him with a pair of eyes open. The face was so delicate that it looked like the work of a veteran painter, and this kind of countenance, which was demanded to the extreme, did not feel like it should be in nature.

It's a bit fake.

Huai Xu was apprehensive in his heart: "You write!"

He didn't bother him.

Zhou Li retracted his gaze, held the pen and thought for a moment before continuing to find words to say to him: "How have you lived in the past year, were you also around here before?"

"I came from a small town, and I walked and walked all the way to get here. It's good here, there aren't as many monsters outside the city, I've been in the city for more than half a year, and I usually walk around, where I want to go, and sometimes I go to some places where you guys like to play, but I have to do it secretly. Sometimes I go to school. Huai Xu was very happy as soon as he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes flew, and then he was able to say a long list.

"You're still in school?" Zhou Li was a little surprised, "Where are you?"

"Over there. Huai Xu pointed in a direction, but seeing Zhou Li's back to him, he said again, "It's where there is a long street wall full of flowers in spring." ”

"Oh, Jiu'an Junior High School, the one next to the third elementary school. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it. ”

"What do you study?"

"Pinyin, literacy. ”

"Oh, Sanxiao, I also studied there in elementary school. ”

"I'm a fast learner. ”

"Then you should be better than me. Zhou Li said, "Then where are you going later?" ”

"I don't know, walk around. ”

"There is a red house on the left when you go out, it's quite big, and it has four words written on the palm of your hand, and I'll write it to you later. There are plenty of beds and sofas, so you're sure to find a way to get in. ”

"I'll check it out then. ”

“......”

The rain never stopped.

After finishing two sets of papers in a row and writing a diary, Zhou Li stretched his waist and turned his head to look, only to see that Huai Xu had taken one of his elementary school language books for some time, and he had already read almost a third of it.

Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, looked at the bunk bed, and asked in a low voice, "When are you leaving?"

"Let's go!" Huai Xu hurriedly put down the book.

"Just sleep with me for one night, I'm not chasing you. ”

"Hmm......" Huai Xu hesitated, "You're not afraid that I'll eat you at night?"

"Don't be afraid. Zhou Li put away the roll and closed the window by the way.

"Could it be that you are very powerful?" Huai Xu was puzzled.

"I'm not powerful, you're powerful, you can come up on the twenty-fifth floor, I can't do anything if you want to eat me. Zhou Li got up and walked to the bed, "I'm going to sleep, you can sleep too." ”

"I'm wet. ”

"Haven't you done it yet?"

"Nope. ”

"It's okay, just sleep like this, I don't sleep on the top bunk very often anyway. I'm going to wake up early tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh. ”

Huai Xu turned to look at the high and low bed, bent his legs and made a jumping posture, but before he popped out, he retracted his strength, took off his shoes and climbed up the wooden ladder in a regular manner.

He didn't lie down, but sat on the edge of the bed, his legs hanging down through the middle of the guardrail.

Zhou Li also lay on the bed.

Two curvaceous calves swayed in front of his eyes, like jade.

Smack, Zhou Li turned off the light, out of sight.

The legs don't shake all at once!

Half of the head was exposed on the top bunk: "Are you sleeping?"

"Hmm. ”

"Oh. ”

The next morning, when Zhou Li woke up, it was still dark, and half of his head hung on the edge of the top bunk, staring straight at him, startling him.

"What are you watching me do!" Zhou Li asked in a low voice.

"Depends on when you wake up. ”

“......”

"Are you going to school?"

"Hmm. ”

"How about I go with you?"

"If you want to go, just don't make trouble in my school. ”

"Don't worry!"

Huaixu retracted his head, and then he got out of bed.

It stands to reason that the dawn has not yet come, but I don't know what the rules he obeys, he has changed back to his male form.

Get dressed, wash your face and brush your teeth.

Huai Xu followed Zhou Li, and he went wherever Zhou Li went, looking around curiously from time to time.

Aunt Jiang has already made breakfast.

Fresh milk, boiled eggs, a bowl of non-authentic Kaiyuan rice noodles made from last night's hoof flower soup, and a plate of fried dumplings.

Zhou Li eats very quickly.

A bowl of rice noodles went down, and when he looked up, he saw Huai Xu standing behind Aunt Jiang, staring at him without blinking.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Jiang noticed his gaze and turned her head to look behind her.

"No, it occurred to me that I was going to sweep the floor early today. Zhou Li hurriedly picked up the milk and drank it all.

"Carry the eggs on the road and eat them!" Aunt Jiang shouted, "Do you want to bring some more dumplings?"

"Yes. ”

"I'll pretend for you. Aunt Jiang put down her chopsticks, got up to get her pocket, and at the same time broke a banana on the coffee table, and suddenly she moved, "Why did you sweep the floor again today, didn't you just sweep the floor last week, is it a teacher or a classmate, if you shouldn't sweep me, I'll go to your school in the morning!"

"The same table can't come today, I'll help him sweep, just this day. Zhou Li had already put on his shoes and took the small bag.

"Wipe your hands and mouth. Aunt Jiang pulled a few more pieces of paper and handed them to Zhou Li.

"Well, I'm leaving. ”

"I just ate, don't run, it's okay to be late. Aunt Jiang advised.

"Good. ”

Zhou left the door, and Huai Xu stood in front of him.

Zhou Li didn't wait for the elevator, but turned a corner and walked into the staircase entrance, and the light suddenly dimmed, green and shiny.

"Eat. Zhou Li handed the fried dumplings to Huaixu.

"What are you doing for me?" Huai Xu was inexplicable, "Isn't this your breakfast?"

"Taste it, move quickly. ”

“enmmm......”

Huai Xu reluctantly took the fried dumplings, stuffed one into his mouth, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

The bottom of the fried dumplings is charred and crispy, and the taste is very good.

There was a slight echo in Zhou Li's footsteps, which sounded clear in the quiet corridor, a little too quiet.

"Twenty-fifth floor, how did you get up?"

"I'm amazing. Huaixu's voice was indistinct.

"Where did your shoes come from?"

"Picked it up. ”

"It looks pretty new. ”

"Stole. ”

"I see. ”

"This one looks like I've eaten before. Huaixu pointed to the banana, "But it's not that big, it's not so beautiful." I ate in the mountains. ”

"The plantain is delicious. ”

"I won't eat this egg, I'll give you nutrition. ”

"I'm not short of nutrition. ”

"You're going to go to university. ”

"I'll go out and buy a braised egg later, I like to eat that. You hurry up and eat, and go to the elevator after eating. ”

"Oh. ”

Huai Xu took the egg and flicked it gently, and then uncovered it, and the eggshell fell off completely, he first sniffed it, and then came to his mouth and took a small bite.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed again!

Walking out of the building, the sky is still dark blue, and most of it is blocked by the green trees in the community.

Huai Xu sniffed and said, "There are monsters in your place, two." ”

"How do you know?"

"I'm amazing. ”

"Oh. ”

"You're not afraid?"

"They came before me. ”

"How daring...... No one is afraid of demons!" Huai Xu sighed in this world.

"Were people afraid of monsters in the past?" Zhou Li asked.

"I'm afraid, ...... you watch TV"

"Do youkai really eat people?"

"I'll tell you when I remember. ”

“......”

Zhou Li bought a boiled egg outside the community and ate it while walking.

The road was full of locust flowers, soaked by the rain and sticking to the ground, and the ground was dotted with stars.

Walking to the school gate, Huai Xu was keenly aware of the changes in his whole person, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?

"There's a demon in the school, too. ”

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I didn't say I'm not afraid. ”

"Is that demon going to eat people?"

"Don't eat it. ”

"And what are you afraid of?"

"It's a hassle. Zhou Li saw the huge figure through the retractable door, not far from the school gate, blocked on the boulevard.

"Oh, is that the one?"

"Yes, you be quiet, don't cause ......" Zhou Li turned his head and was about to tell Huai Xu, but he found that there was nothing behind him, but Huai Xu's voice faintly came from in front of him-

"Hey, do you often bully a human? Probably this tall and thin. ”
