Side 2 (II) Meilai and Minami
Looking at Mei Lai's still stiff smiling face, the girl rolled her eyes and deliberately changed the subject: "Do you like HelloKitty very much?" There are a lot of them in the store, and there are a lot of limited editions, which are really die-hard fans. ”
"Huh? Oh no, it's my mom who likes it. Dad and I both prefer Snoopy's. Mei Lai waved her hand again and again, and in order to convince the other party, she also revealed the watch on her wrist, "Look, Snoopy's watch." ”
"Hahahahaha...... You're so interesting......" The girl didn't expect Milai to answer her question so seriously, and when she saw the Snoopy pattern on her watch, she was immediately amused and laughed wildly.
Mei Lai couldn't help but laugh after being stunned for a while. The atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed.
This girl is a good person...... I let my guard down and watched the interaction between the two men half-appreciatively.
"Speaking of which, what about your mom and dad?" The girl looked around and asked this sensitive question.
"They haven't come back yet, so I'm here to look after the store. It's been a long time, and I don't know how many days have passed. Mei Lai was poked in the heart, and her expression darkened suddenly, "Is there anything delayed?" I didn't answer the phone again, I was really anxious. ”
"Huh? So why don't you go to them? Don't you know where they went? The girl looked at Mei Lai in surprise.
"Knowing is knowing, mom and dad will write the delivery address in a notebook. But before they left, they said that no one was allowed to leave the store casually. Mei Lai tugged at the corners of her clothes and said uneasily.
In fact, this is supposed to be a fake memory created by her own brain to protect herself.
The girl looked at her for a long time, and her expression somehow suddenly made me feel a little strange. It should be said that from this moment on, her whole person suddenly gave me a strange feeling of incongruity, but I can't explain it in detail.
"I can take you out to find them, so you don't leave the store alone." The corners of her mouth were smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes.
I sensed something was wrong, and was about to come out, when the girl suddenly stared straight into My Lai's eyes—not so much into My Lai's eyes as through the depths of My Lai's eyes—and said, "Or, you can let 'her' come out, so it's not 'you' leaving the store." ”
She knows I exist?! Immediately the alarm bell rang in my heart, and before I could make a move, she suddenly stood up and leaned over, shoved something into Mei Lai's mouth, and immediately grabbed her chin and forced her to swallow.
"Don't worry, it's not a poison, it's just a small gift. I want her to be useful, and I won't let her — oh of course you — die before then. So you don't have to worry. She still smiled and said to Mei Lai's eyes, but the content of her eyes and words clearly indicated that she was talking to me at this time.
It's strange that no matter how much I try to come out, I can no longer control my body. Is it the effect of what I just forced Meilai to eat?! What the hell is that?!
No matter what, at this moment, I can only resentfully be in Mei Lai's body, and I will slump on the ground with Mei Lai and watch the girl leave leisurely - there is nothing I can do.
I couldn't come out for a long time after that. Fortunately, I sprinkled the man's blood all around the store, and the store was relatively safe, as long as Mei Lai didn't run out of the store without permission, it should be fine - I'm still more relieved in this regard, Mei Lai has never wanted to leave the store for so long.
Reflecting on the whole process of this incident, my feelings are very complicated: it was my own pride and lack of ability that led to such a result - not only did I fail to protect her, but I also put myself in such an embarrassing situation.
Hey? Wait a minute...... Protection? Have I been protecting her? ……
No, I'm just a simple aggressor, and there's nothing to protect or not protect. I just wanted my newfound flesh to be unharmed, and definitely not for her.
Well, it must be like that.
But...... In fact, if there is someone who can protect me, it is actually not bad, right? I don't have to deny it......
If you protect, you should protect, and no one says that the aggressor cannot protect the invaded, right?
The biggest question at the moment should be how to regain control of My Lai's body.
While I was still worrying about the problem, those two people appeared. It seems to be a brother and sister, and there is nothing special about the two of them, but they look unusually soft-hearted.
But Meilai actually followed them out of the store, and this was the first time in such a long time. But why? I panicked, I couldn't come out yet, and if something really happened, I couldn't save her.
Besides, these two siblings really don't have anything particularly attractive, it's worth Mei Lai to give up the stalk that she has been unable to get over in her heart, and leave the store to act with them. This should be considered a kind of progress, I should be happy for her, right?
But sure enough, not long after she left the store, she was in danger. The uncle's ugly face and Meilai's terrible cry made me anxious but helpless, and I felt like I was about to bleed in her body.
Fortunately, the sister saved her.
Later, he followed them all the way to the uncle's house. I really don't know what happened to Mei Lai, who has always been timid and cautious, would be willing to come to such a dangerous place for those two siblings.
And this place gave me a strange sense of familiarity, and at the same time, there was a constant flow of power pouring into my body. So much so that after staying in the house for a while, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could come out again, and immediately took over My Lai's body - it was too dangerous to let Mei Lai face all this.
But the strange thing is that this time Meilai did not fall into a deep sleep, but stayed quietly in my body, and did not make a noise to get my body back, just stayed in it so quietly, quietly watching all this.
Until I took her out of the house, she was quiet, did not express her opinion, did not convey a word to me, did not sleep, just watched quietly, as if it was none of her business, hiding her full of emotions and making people unpredictable.
That's how I returned to the store with Mei Lai, who had become a little stranger. I felt that something had indeed changed, but I couldn't put it into words.
The only thing that is certain is that Mei Lai discovered my existence. But what is not sure is whether she will forget me again.
Perhaps those two siblings are the most critical to helping Meilai. After coming to this conclusion, I began to make a small calculation in my heart.
