12. Chapter XII
At night, the street was a little quiet, and in the alley blown by the cold wind, a tonn-long friction sound suddenly sounded. Snuggle up next to the trash can. The wild cat, which had strayed into the alley, opened its eyes, looked sideways, and in the darkness of the night, found a pair of vertical pupils of a wild beast. It exploded, arching itself and startling out of the alley.
The little white snake stuck out its tongue and waged its tail triumphantly.
Yan Xi completely opened the manhole cover, and after the little white snake, he grabbed the ground with both hands, and his waist was slightly forced, and he jumped up all of a sudden.
Yan Xi stepped on the ground with both feet, he looked back at the bottom of the well, and was stunned.
The blood ball sat down the well. See yourself looking at him. At this time, he was looking at him expectantly, with an ignorant and innocent face.
Yan Xi's hand tightened slightly, and his eyes saw the manhole cover on the side.
The little white snake can come up, and he can come up too. But Xuetuanzi is just a child's appearance, how can he come up?
As......
While Yan Xi was hesitating, the blood ball at the bottom of the well tilted his head, propped his hands on the wall, and climbed up on the wall as if he were walking on the ground. After a while, he walked out of the bottom of the well.
Yan Xi, who was in deep thought, was startled when he saw the blood ball that suddenly approached, and couldn't help but retreat.
Blood Tuanzi smiled and happily threw himself on Yan Xi's body. didn't care at all that Yan Xi might not catch him and let him fall from the well.
Yan Xi, who hadn't reacted yet, saw the movements of the blood ball and subconsciously caught the other party. By the time he reacted, he had already hugged the blood ball.
He stared at the manhole cover delicately for a few seconds, his eyelashes blinking slightly, and he closed the manhole cover.
The little white snake on the side hissed and wrapped around Yan Xi's ankle, and the cold feeling made Yan Xi shiver.
He hugged the blood ball, jumped slightly, grabbed the wall with one hand, and with a strong waist, he easily crossed the wall and entered the courtyard of his house.
Tang Jiaojiao would look at Yan Xi's room every morning when she went out, because they were childhood sweethearts and went to school together since childhood. Even if Yan Xi's personality changed a lot after the death of her uncle and aunt, every time she went to school, Yan Xi would still wait for her at the door.
And in the past three months, everyone thought she knew where Yan Xi went? But she really didn't know.
When Tang Jiaojiao went out today, she also glanced at Yan Xi's room next to her, which was beyond her expectations. Yan Xi's family, which had been closed for more than three months, suddenly had a trace. There seemed to be a lot of movement coming from inside.
Tang Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, pushed the door in, and entered the front yard of Yan Xi's house.
Yan Xi's facial features are very sensitive now, Tang Jiaojiao seemed to be aware of it when he stood outside the door, last night, after he came back, he tidied up himself and tidied up his home. After a busy day, the sky will be faintly bright.
Tang Jiaojiao has always gotten up early. In addition, she had electives for a few days, and she got up as soon as it was dawn. And as soon as I went out, I found Yan Xi who came back last night.
Yan Xi carried the blood ball into the room and locked it up, pushed open the door of the house and walked out. At this time, I happened to see Tang Jiaojiao pushing the door in.
Yan Xi suddenly disappeared for more than three months, Tang Jiaojiao suddenly saw Yan Xi again, in the cool air of the morning, she looked up, her heart couldn't help jumping, and there was a feeling of complete strangeness in her heart.
Tang Jiaojiao shook her head and threw the idea over. Looking closely, Yan Xi's facial features are still the same as before, and they are still the same exquisite...... No......
Tang Jiaojiao was stunned, perhaps it should be said that Yan Xi's temperament has changed, he used to be dazzling and dazzling, and his every move was eye-catching. But now his whole person is not as sharp and high-spirited as before, like a calm water surface, as if the water chestnut has been smoothed by pressure, the ancient well has no waves, and the deep water is hidden. Just like after the last uncle and aunt had a car accident, a chasm has been drawn from the world on top of the sense of estrangement that exists, and only indifference is left outside.
Thinking of this, Tang Jiaojiao's heart suddenly pinched. She opened her mouth and wondered what had happened in her mind. It turned into a cautious "Are you okay?" ”
Yan Xi looked at Tang Jiaojiao, the indifference in his eyes faded slightly, and he nodded, "En." ”
The two looked at each other's words. Yan Xi's cold answer made Tang Jiaojiao feel the distance from Yan Xi getting farther and farther away. She bit her lip, a little at a loss for a moment. To hide her gaffe, she lowered her head slightly, and her lowered gaze fell straight to the ground.
The front yard of the Yan Xi is completely different from the backyard with dead branches, and a small piece of land is split on both sides of the yard, which is planted with durable plants, and there are all kinds of beautiful potted plants around it. Make the front yard full of life. And these potted plants are still Tang Jiaojiao's idea.
After more than three months of care, some potted plants have died, while some bonsai are still stubbornly surviving. At this time, there was a pot of green potted plants at Tang Jiaojiao's feet, which was very green. When Tang Jiaojiao didn't pay attention, a little white snake secretly crawled through the land, quietly approaching her under the cover of the big leaves of the potted plant.
Yan Xi looked back at the time of the big clock in the living room, and asked Tang Jiaojiao, "Do you have a class this morning?" ”
Tang Jiaojiao, who was immersed in her thoughts, nodded when she heard this, and raised her head by the trend, "En." You're going to learn -- there's a snake! ――”
Before Tang Jiaojiao's words were finished, she raised her gaze and skimmed to the big white snake that was particularly conspicuous in the green leaves, she couldn't help but scream, and subconsciously stepped back. Frightened.
"Heehehehe......" Under the cover of Tang Jiaojiao's screams, the child's laughter faintly sounded from the upper floor.
When Yan Xi heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Although Tang Jiaojiao's face turned pale with fright, she didn't miss this voice, she looked up at the second floor, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
How can there be children's laughter?
"It's fine." Yan Xi comforted Tang Jiaojiao and asked her to divert her attention, he walked to the little white snake, and under Tang Jiaojiao's frightened gaze, he caught the naughty white snake with one hand, and said, "It's okay, this is my ...... It's okay, I've been away from home lately, and there are rats in the yard, and this snake may have accidentally broken in while hunting. ”
Tang Jiaojiao nodded in shock.
Yan Xi took a look at the yard and put the snake in the cage that had been idle in the yard for a long time. He said, "Since you have a class, you should go to school first." ”
Tang Jiaojiao, who was expelled from the house, was stunned when she heard this, and the fright on her face was much less. She nodded reluctantly. "Then I'll go first."
"Yes." Yan Xi responded. He picked up the cage in which the little white snake was placed and went into the house.
Tang Jiaojiao watched Yan Xi turn around without hesitation, and the look of loss on her face became even stronger. She hesitated out of the courtyard and stood outside the door, her mind couldn't help but remember the laughter she had just heard, and with this doubt, she looked up at the window on the second floor of Yan Xi.
The curtains on the second floor of Yan Xi's house were all closed, and only a small piece was quietly lifted. Although the distance is a bit far away. But Tang Jiaojiao could still faintly see that there was a ...... lying on the window
The curtain fell suddenly, and was lifted again. Tang Jiaojiao was stunned and saw Yan Xi's figure. Slightly startled, she subconsciously turned around and walked away quickly.
