Chapter Ninety-Six: Something Wrong Zhang Zhou
The silver-white doorknob turned downward with the force of the palm pressed against it, opening the locked dark brown door. The palm of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was slightly forced, and it was slowly dragged back, and in a slight creak, the door slowly opened, revealing the bright sky light outside. The owner of that hand let go of the grip on the doorknob and straightened the strap of the bag that hung over his shoulder.
He habitually knocked on the heel of the shoe he was wearing on his foot, and was about to go out. But when he was about to step out, he hesitated for a moment. Then he turned his head slightly, glanced nostalgically at the steaming tomato scrambled eggs on the table, then turned around, walked out of the door, and then gently closed the door with his backhand.
He lowered his eyes and leaned against the cold door for a few moments before turning to leave. No one had ever seen him staring at the plate of tomato scrambled eggs, so naturally no one would know that at that time, what was reflected in his eyes was not just a plate of steaming tomato scrambled eggs.
And when he closed the door, he naturally didn't know that he had left early, and his yawning mother, who opened the door and came out soon after, instantly froze all his movements when she saw the plate of tomato scrambled eggs that had lost their temperature.
She was silent for a long time, and finally put down her arms, which were already very stiff, hugged them to her chest, and walked slowly to the table. After staring at the plate of cold tomato scrambled eggs for a moment, she reached out and picked it up and staggered into the kitchen. "Xiao Yue, this kid, doesn't he know how to do anything except eggs? What should I do when I go out on my own in the future? She scrambled as she unscrewed the gas and poured the tomato scrambled eggs on her plate into the stainless steel pan.
She grabbed the spatula and stir-fried it as if she hadn't noticed anything, had never known anything. However, after stirring up for a while, she suddenly stopped moving, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Na, Xiao Yue, if you don't want us to interfere in your affairs, we won't interfere, but once you can't hold on, whether you want to or not, we will forcibly intervene." Because...... We are your parents. ”
Wang Yue did not know the words of his mother. He just cleared his mind and walked along the wide road. The sky above your head is like a wash, and the avenue under your feet is peaceful. It was clearly such a beautiful view, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
He was immersed in his own world and did not say a word. Wandering in this empty city, indifferent and detached. Slowly moving forward, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground. The accident brought him back to his senses, lowered his eyes and looked at the culprit of the accident, only to realize that he had stepped on a small stone. He shook his head, lifted his foot and kicked the stone to the side of the road, then looked around and found a bench to sit down on, allowing his tired body to rest for a moment.
He leaned back in his chair and leaned back in accordance with the design of the chair, staring at the blue sky above him. "Bao'er...... Why...... Why do I always feel like you're not human......"
"......" seems to be a little wrong. How does it look like ...... Can't breathe? Zhang Zhou, who was sleeping, frowned tightly, and unconsciously swung his neck, wanting to gain the power to breathe. But the onion fingers that were tightly pinching his nose never relaxed in the slightest, moving with the swing of his head, always blocking his breathing. This made Zhang Zhou's movements more intense in his sleep.
Finally, the body's warning of no lack of oxygen made Zhang Zhou unable to immerse himself in sleep anymore. He reluctantly opened his eyes and sat up. This made what was blocking his breathing disappear in an instant. Regaining the power to breathe, he couldn't help but breathe heavily, greedily ingesting the oxygen molecules in the air.
He took a big breath, turned his eyes, and looked sadly at the culprit who was sitting next to him, who had woken him up from his sleep due to difficulty breathing, but saw that the girl ignored his complaining expression, stood up on his own, and walked in the direction of the kitchen while undressing his apron.
"Get up and wash up, it's already seven o'clock." She said this, but she took off her apron, put it in the crook of her elbow, and then hung it on the hook on the side, and immediately went into the kitchen to serve the rice bowl.
Zhang Zhou scratched his head, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, then lifted the quilt and stood up with slippers. The moment he stood up, he yawned so much that tears came out of his eyes.
Li Ai, who turned out of the kitchen, happened to bump into this scene, her eyes flashed, lowered her eyes slightly, and asked casually, "You guy, you like to sleep so much, and I don't know how you used to catch up with class." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Zhou, who was stretching his waist, was stunned, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, but this state only lasted for a few seconds, he frowned, and said with a smile, "I didn't feel so sleepy before, and now I look like this, maybe it's because I have a companion by my side, so I'm relaxed." ”
Li Ai's body trembled, but it only stabilized in an instant. She didn't respond to Zhang Zhou's words, just took a steady step, put the two small rice bowls in her hand on the silver dining table, and then turned around again and walked towards the kitchen.
Her lowered eyes fluctuated with a deep uneasiness that had come from his words. Companion? Just relax? Obviously, there is also a Moyin Bao'er who is unknown to him, how can he relax easily? Moreover, he had obviously noticed that he was a little drowsy, why did he think about it for so long when he asked him just now?
Something is wrong. Zhang Zhouhe ...... Something is wrong. It was as if he had unconsciously neglected something he had forgotten.
Thinking of this, Li Ai's mood that had been slightly relaxed because he had learned some very important information from Moyin Bao'er became heavy again. She involuntarily rolled her eyes, forgetting the calendar hanging on the wall of the living room. "Less than two months to go......" she muttered under her breath as she plunged into the kitchen again.
Zhang Zhou, who didn't get her response, blinked his eyes, didn't care, and took off the small suit from the hanger on the side with his backhand, and draped it on his body with his backhand. Buttoning up, he walked towards the bathroom. But after taking a few steps, he felt that something was not quite right. By the way, what's that guy called Bao'er? He looked around, but he couldn't find the figure of the girl in green clothes.
"She's gone?" Zhang Zhou, who had not found any trace of Moyin Bao'er, looked at Li Ai who came out of the kitchen again and asked aloud. Hearing his inquiry, Li Ai cleaned up his still fluctuating mood, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhou, who stretched out his finger and pointed at the sofa where Moyin Bao'er had been staying, but he grinned, and it was easy not to laugh. His eagerness to know the answer looked ridiculous, and she almost didn't hold back.
She couldn't help but take a few deep breaths secretly, suppressed the smile in her chest, and then looked away and asked in an angry voice, "What, do you want her to stay for a few more days?" As she spoke, she approached the dining table, set the chopsticks in her hand, and then pushed Zhang Zhou, who had not yet reacted, "Wash up!" It's already seven o'clock! ”
Zhang Zhou responded in a daze and walked into the bathroom. Behind him, Li Ai's gaze, which was still a little smiling, instantly became deep. She stooped down to her place and turned her eyes to look out the window at the bright sky.
There are less than two months to go...... She pondered silently, but her brow furrowed more and more. She suddenly remembered Moyin Bao'er's expression when she said this, although her face was hidden in the shadows at that time, and she couldn't see it very clearly, but the complexity contained in her eyes like autumn water made her remember it deeply.
There are less than two months to go...... Being able to say such words meant that she knew exactly when he was going to die. If you think about it deeply, maybe Zhang Zhou is caught in some kind of conspiracy, and this conspiracy is likely to kill him. However, Zhang Zhou has such a powerful force, what kind of conspiracy can kill him? What kind of crisis can make such a powerful Moyin Bao'er jealous, and can only remind him loudly?
No, wait, if you think about it in a different direction...... Zhang Zhou has great powers, and he uses these powerful powers to protect the city, isolating demons, undead, ghosts and evil things from the world. In order to invade the bustling world where humans live, it is very likely that the demons who have blocked his way will attack him and remove such obstacles. Thinking about it this way, there is indeed a power that can make Moyin Bao'er jealous and kill Zhang Zhou.
Moreover, I remember that Zhang Zhou once relayed the words of Midorihime, and she seemed to have come here to have the same power as Zhang Zhou. And the one who looks a lot like Midorihime...... But he died four years ago. Her death, perhaps, is also ......
While she was thinking like this, she suddenly heard Zhang Zhou calling her name. She raised her eyes a little inexplicably, looked at Zhang Zhou, who poked her head out of the bathroom door, and raised her eyebrows inquiringly. I saw Zhang Zhou smile wryly, and then opened his mouth to Li Ai and said, "I'm sorry, Li Ai." ”
Li Ai frowned suspiciously, an ominous premonition rose in her heart, and the next moment, the ominous premonition in her heart turned into reality. Zhang Zhou raised the toothbrush and cup in his hand, and whispered in Li Ai's suddenly dull gaze, "I'm absent-minded...... Got a ...... with the wrong cup and toothbrush."
