Chapter Twenty-Four: White Lies
Chen Shouyi only felt that his hair stood on end, he didn't dare to stay here anymore, and decided to leave immediately.
Before leaving, he untied the rope, scooped up the shell girl with the shell, and walked quickly towards the passage.
It would be a pity to leave the Shell Girl here, in case she died, or escaped.
After a while, he left the unfinished building.
Looking at the people coming and going, the traffic was busy, and the streets were noisy, Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the strange and unpredictable world, the earth is more secure for him, there are not so many mysterious and strange creatures here, and there are no ghosts and ghosts, everything makes him feel at ease.
At this time, he looked at the shell in his hand, and found that the magical-like mist that originally exuded had completely dimmed at this time, and the bright colors had gradually faded, and the surface had become mottled.
Chen Shouyi was stunned for a moment, and his heart was suddenly stunned.
No wonder this shell is so beautiful, and no wonder the shell girl chose this shell to live in, it turns out that this shell is not ordinary.
Unfortunately, after arriving on Earth, its transcendence has faded and has become ordinary.
But he had nothing to regret in his heart.
All the while, he didn't know what this shell was for.
He remembered the shell girl inside, and gently lifted the shell open a crack.
Fortunately, she was still alive, just huddled inside, her face full of horror, trembling all over, obviously frightened by the change in the environment.
Seeing that she was not dead, Chen Shouyi was relieved.
Passing by a jewelry store, he suddenly moved in and walked in.
Today, on the first day of the National Day, there are a lot of people in the store, most of the people in this kind of store are girls, of course, there are men who accompany their girlfriends, and there are very few people like Chen Shouyi who come in alone.
He walked slowly, and soon picked out a roll of duct tape, a roll of nylon rope, a small pair of scissors, and found a few sets of small-sized Barbie clothes, but unfortunately he couldn't find panties and underwear, so he could only settle for it.
When it was time to pay, the cashier looked at five or six sets of Barbie doll's clothes and couldn't help but look at him more.
Half a minute later, Chen Shouyi walked out of the jewelry store with a blank face, and went to the supermarket to buy a bottle of honey.
He had noticed that this shell girl seemed to feed on nectar, and it was estimated that there was nothing wrong with honey, and with the amount of food she ate, she should be able to feed well.
......
After walking out of the supermarket, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hot, and Chen Shouyi suddenly felt that there was nowhere to go.
Looking at the still white and tender skin, the exposure to the sun in another world for nearly half a day does not seem to have much effect, and his thirteen-point five physique has almost made him immune to ultraviolet damage.
He turned on his phone and chatted with Zhang Xiaoyue while wandering aimlessly, until it was almost night, and he decided to go home.
"Mom, I'm back. After Chen Shouyi finished speaking, he took advantage of Chen's mother's inattention and walked quickly upstairs.
At this time, it was the busiest time for the restaurant, and Chen's mother, who was moving vegetables, only felt that the figure flashed, so she ran up the stairs, she chased after the back and scolded: "You don't eat?"
"In the same class, I ate. He suddenly stopped, thought of an idea, and decided to tell a white lie.
There was no light on the stairs, and darkness was his best cover, so he turned around reassuringly: "Oh, by the way, Mom, my current martial arts apprentice has reached the physical fitness standard, and it is still a little worse than swordsmanship and archery." ”
"Really, son, you're physically able to get through. Hearing this, Chen's mother was overjoyed, she had been worried that this mediocre son would achieve nothing in the future, but she didn't expect to give her a big surprise after entering the third year of high school.
"Mom, don't you see that I've been a lot stronger lately?
In the past few days, I learned that there is a tutoring institution that is engaged in closed pre-exam training, and I heard that the success rate is very high, so I want to sign up. ”
"Since it's useful, of course you have to report it, how much does it cost?" She is very economical in some places, but as long as it is useful for her children's grades, she has always been generous and amazing.
"It takes about 18,000 or 15 days. Chen Shouyi hesitated and said a number. There are a lot of pre-exam training of this kind, and this price is already the market price, and it is easy to be exposed if it is too low.
"Just need to stay outside!" he finally feigned hesitation.
"People who are so big are still afraid of living outside, when will they sign up?" Chen's mother was in a good mood and scolded with a smile.
"Tomorrow morning. ”
"It's so urgent, fortunately, there is still a sum of money in the card, and when I am done, I will call you the money!"
In the dark, Chen Shouyi looked at his mother with a smile on her face and a look of relief, his eyes suddenly became sore, and he wanted to cry.
In my memory, there has never been a thing that can make my parents feel gratified, and some are just disappointed again and again.
"But never again, you will be proud of your son. He wiped his eyes, turned back to the bedroom, and locked the door.
......
He sat at his desk and rubbed his face, and sat for a moment, his mind fluttering.
Suddenly he remembered something, and quickly took out the shells from the plastic bag.
The Shell Girl lay inside, motionless, her eyes red and hollow, without the slightest hint of brilliance.
Her mouth had been taped shut, and her hands and feet were tied together.
Chen Shouyi laughed dryly, thought about it and fished her out of the shell, he picked up a small pair of scissors, and in her numb eyes, cut the nylon rope tied to her hands and feet.
Then he tore the tape off his mouth again.
He picked up the Barbie dress he had bought earlier and decided to put it on her.
Being naked is too much of an obstruction to the eye, and it always makes him extremely embarrassed, so it is better to put on clothes naturally.
He carefully pinched her arm and put her on a blouse, for fear that one force would pinch her off.
In fact, there was no need for him to be so cautious, she was more solid than she thought, after all, she was a creature under three times the gravity, and it was not as fragile as it seemed.
In the process of dressing, the shell girl remained motionless, at his mercy, as if her heart was dead.
She didn't weep, because her tears were dry, and she didn't scream, which was in vain.
By the time she felt the change in her surroundings and found that she had lost all abilities and could no longer fly, she was completely hopeless and numb.
After finally putting on a princess dress for her, Chen Shouyi couldn't help wiping off the sweat and exhaled softly.
"Oh, yes, and honey. ”
He hurriedly took out the honey from the bag, took the metal spoon, scooped a shallow spoonful, mixed it with some warm water, and put it in front of her.
The spoon was longer than her height, and the spoon was three times the size of her head.
The shell girl's nose twitched slightly, then turned her face away and remained motionless.
Seeing that she was non-violent and uncooperative, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but flick her fingers a few times, and her body rolled around on the desk, but the other party was stunned.
Chen Shouyi finally gave up, ready to stop caring about her, anyway, she shouldn't be able to die of hunger for a day.
He took the wooden sword from under the bed and continued to practice it.
Just did a lunge straight stab.
The wooden sword pierced the air, making a sharp roar, and he quickly stopped.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" Chen Shouyi said in a deep voice leaning against the door.
"Brother, you're back, what was the sound in your room just now?"
"It's nothing, it's coming from outside, and I don't know anything. ”
"Oh, I'm scared!"
The younger sister left quickly, and Chen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the sword, and then at his hand, he didn't have a clear idea of how strong he was when he practiced in the other world, and only then did he realize that he had reached this point.
The sword must have been close to the speed of sound.
He suddenly realized that it was so wise to use the excuse of going out for a while before, and if he continued to live here, not to mention anything else, it would be a little troublesome to even practice the sword.
