Chapter 60: Inside There, Hidden Demons (1st Update)
I thought about it for a while.
Gritting his teeth and patting his leg, the boss responded in a deep voice, "Okay." β
Xu Xia chuckled, "However, before that, uncle, did you bring the skewers first?" I haven't eaten here for lunch, I'm hungry. β
The boss laughed, his mood suddenly relaxed, and without saying a word, he reopened the stove and grilled the skewers.
After a while, a plate of golden and shiny barbecue was served.
That aroma, that appearance, can you not move your index finger and salivate?
Xu Xia was worried about the forest and the scars that had been buried in his memory for a long time, and he fed his stomach in three or two clicks.
Standing up, "Uncle Lao, you lead the way." β
The boss nodded, untied the apron around his body, and led the person to the backyard.
Behind the kitchen is the street, very narrow, and across the door is a dimly lit room, which looks like a shanty town in the old society.
In the cramped, cramped space, there is a strange smell, moisture, sweat, and excrement.
It's hard to imagine that there is such a presence behind this.
Xu Xia pursed his lips and did not speak.
The boss also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, although he fell in love with this child, he was not willing to show his not very good side.
Xu Xia can not ask, he is not awkward in his heart.
Take out the key, carefully insert it into the lock hole, and twist it gently.
The creaking old iron door opened.
The boss stepped in first, and the lights were on.
Xu is old and long, it doesn't seem so bright and yellow, which makes people feel depressed for no reason.
The boss rubbed his palms and pointed to the innermost room, "He's inside, the door is not locked, you can just open it and go in!" β
Xu Xia nodded lightly and replied, "Okay, uncle, go back there first, I'll remember to bring it to the door after we finish chatting later." β
The boss was stunned for a moment, but he also understood that Xu Xia didn't let him listen, so he didn't force it, and left neatly.
Only then did Xu Xia divide his mind and observe this room.
Two bedrooms and one living room, not big.
Although the air is turbid and humid, it is clear and tidy.
A bed of blankets was stacked on the couch, square, without any wrinkles.
Eight oranges were also cut into the fruit bowl on the coffee table, each of the same size and placed at the same distance.
Xu Xia pulled his lips and wiped his fingers on the cabinet at the entrance, there was no dust, it was very clean.
She didn't look any further, and walked towards Lin Mu's room.
Knock on the door with courtesy.
Unsurprisingly, there was no response.
She pulled down the handle and walked in slowly.
The footsteps were deliberately heavy and clear.
There are no lights on inside.
Outside, a faint light gradually shone in as the door opened.
What caught my eye was a piano and a young man sitting in front of the piano.
His fingers were as white as jade, very slender, and placed on the black and white keys of the piano, as if he was born for this.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned his head.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, "It's you." β
There is no familiarity, and there is no rustiness.
Three words are plain, and the tone is not shocking, without ups and downs.
Xu Xia looked at him deeply.
His appearance is exquisite, with deep contours and British melancholy.
Like a half-breed.
An innate sense of nobility flows, even if you are embarrassed to sit in a wheelchair, you can't wear it off.
To be honest, she thinks that this senior and the boss really don't look alike.
A rugged Chinese face, at first glance, it is a big old man.
The other is an elegant and noble son, with warm eyebrows and eyes, and a breath.
It was probably because he hadn't seen the light of day for too long, which made him look a little sickly haggard.
But this does not affect his handsome color in the slightest, but a completely different style.
Self-guarding the world, noble and classical.
Xu Xia casually closed the door, and the room fell dark for a moment.
The curtains were drawn tightly, leaving not a single gap.
Therefore, it is also completely dark.
Xu Xia took a few steps closer, "Isn't the millet porridge boiled today delicious?" β
As soon as she entered the door, she found that there was a bowl of viscous porridge lying quietly in the trash can on one side, and the method of pouring it was not clever at all.
Lin Mu looked in the direction where the sound came from, and there was only a faint outline.
His fingers quivered slightly, stroking the black and white keys naturally.
It seems that all my heart and soul are thrown into it.
There is no time to deal with Xu Xia.
Xu Xia was not discouraged, in the dark, she sat on the piano chair that was pushed aside by Lin Mu.
Rubbing with Lin Mu's shoulders slightly, close at hand.
Suddenly, the keys moved, and a pleasant chirp sounded.
Lin Mu turned his head sideways and saw Xu Xia's eyes as deep as a sea of stars.
A moment of soul loss, a moment of indulgence.
His fingers didn't move.
Then, it was Xu Xia who moved.
"Can you play the piano?" Xu hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little shady, similar to when he was in the store last night.
Listening to it comes with a cynical frustration.
It's very unpleasant.
Xu Xia didn't answer him, and the movements in his hands fluttered, like light and shadow floating by.
She's playing tunes.
A tune he hadn't heard.
The tone is not in tune, the tone is not in tune, but it can capture people's hearts.
scratching his heart and scratching his liver, he can't help but feel up and down with the beating of the notes.
Suddenly, Lin Mu pulled the corners of his mouth and moved his hand.
The music came to an abrupt end.
Xu Xia stopped moving, his hand still on the keys.
Froze.
A creepy sensation rushed up her tail.
Although the heartbeat does not change, the body's self-defense is still on the verge of triggering.
She knew that something dangerous was approaching her, the cold, the one wrapped in the breath of death.
It was a cold sharp object.
Like a poisonous snake in the night, it silently caressed her neck.
Xu Xia only felt a slight tingling pain hit him, and in addition to the coldness in his neck, there was another warmth.
It was the sharp object that cut through the skin of her neck, and blood began to seep out.
Little by little, it gives her a very clear feeling.
It's like cutting meat with a blunt knife.
But she didn't have any panic or fear, but the black mist in her eyes deepened.
Everyone thought that she Xu Xia was the hot sun in the summer, upright, and righteous.
But I don't know that if I live in the sun, there will be a dark place in my heart.
Inside, there are hidden demons.
She smiled lightly and asked him, "Doesn't it sound good?" β
It's like not perceiving the threat of the blade.
Small talk in general.
So idle and laid-back.
Lin Mu suddenly chuckled.
By the faint light under the eyes.
Xu Xia saw Lin Mu slowly retract the blade.
Then he put it on his lips.
The tip of the bright red tongue poked out, and with a gentle roll, it licked off the blood.
Salty, fishy, sweet......
His eyes were dark and cold, without the slightest emotion.
"I hate you self-righteous bugs that peek inside other people."
"There's no next timeβ"
The corners of his mouth curled.
It's like a warning, it's like a greeting.
All in all, insolent.
