Chapter 4 I may also live in a box
Ashleaf let go of the hand that was holding my neck and hung his head without saying a word.
I twisted my head from side to side, adjusting the angle, but I still couldn't see the expression on her face at the moment.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"......" I decided to put aside the problem in front of me for a moment and find another completely new topic to ease the awkward atmosphere between us, so I asked, "You... Why are you so afraid of cockroaches, aren't you a ghost? β
Probably hearing the word "cockroach", Ash Ye's body trembled, and instead of looking up at me, she leaned down and explained:
"There were bugs in the dormitory, but as a teddy bear at that time, I couldn't move, I could only watch and feel them crawling over me, and the fast pedaling of the feet, the rough touch of the insect feet, just tickled and rubbed your skin......"
"Okay, okay, I get it, you don't have to describe it anymore." When she said this, I couldn't help but get goosebumps on my arm.
Ash Ye raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his eyes, and stood up from the floor, "I'm sorry just now, I won't bother you again in the future." With that, she turned and walked out the door.
"Where are you going?" I stopped her.
ββ¦β¦β
"You don't know a place well, and you don't have anywhere to go. Anyway, I created you too, so you don't mind, do you? As I spoke, I kept an eye on Ashleaf's reaction, and when I saw that she didn't have a seizure, I continued: "So, you'd better stay with me first, wait for you... Well, once you're used to the world, it's not too late to make other plans. β
ββ¦β¦ Are you afraid I'm going to hurt someone else? β
To be honest, I do have this idea in my heart, but I actually care about her.
"Hush." Seeing that I didn't speak, Ash Leaf raised his feet and walked towards the door.
"Wait." I stood up, walked quickly to her side, overtook her, and blocked her way, "You must not want to do this, you don't want to hurt others, so why don't you follow me first, let's think of a way together." β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Gray Leaf seemed to be moving intentionally, I hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "You said that you are so beautiful, and you were abducted again, what a pity." β
"Who... If you dare to do that, I'll kill him!" β
"I believe it, can't I believe it?" I touched my neck with palpitations, "What else do you want from me?" β
ββ¦β¦ Are you really ready to accept me? β
"Although the word 'acceptance' is a bit inappropriate, it does mean exactly what I mean."
After a series of conflicts, I suddenly felt a little hungry when I was quiet, so I said, "Let's eat something, I'm hungry." β
"I don't need to eat."
"Yes, yes, you should accompany me." Without waiting for Ash Leaf to refuse, I grabbed her arm without saying a word and led her out the door.
Twenty minutes later, Ash Leaf and I arrived at a fast food restaurant selling beef rice in front of our school, which was open 24 hours a day. When I was a freshman, after a private nightstay at an Internet cafΓ©, I would often come here to buy a beef rice and take it back to my dorm to eat.
The owner of this shop is very familiar with me, and when he saw me enter the door, he greeted me warmly and said, "The young man is here, I haven't seen you come to dinner in the middle of the night for a long time. β
The boss looked at Ash Leaf with a look of amazement.
Ash Leaf tilted his head and pushed me, "Go buy food." β
I came to the counter, thought about it briefly, and said to the boss: "Two small portions of beef rice, half beef, half beef tendon, and coriander." Another dish of shredded potatoes and a lamb liver in sauce. β
"Okay~" The boss lowered his voice again and squeezed his eyes in the direction of Ash Ye, "Your girlfriend?" β
"Can you tell she's a woman?"
"Hey, look at you. At first, I thought she was a handsome guy, but then I took a closer look - is it your girlfriend? β
"It's not."
"You've got to take your chance, look at that kid, he's so handsome. Eh, young man, don't go, listen to me talk to you, teach you two tricks, uncle is here! β
I pursed my lips and returned to my seat, waiting for the fast food to be prepared in the kitchen.
"What did he tell you?"
"Nothing..."
"It feels very obscene. Trifling. β
"yes, that's how I feel, too."
Five minutes later, the prepared beef rice and side dishes were served by the boss himself. When the boss was leaving, he squeezed his eyebrows at me, and he wanted to beat him.
The evenly sliced pieces of beef float in the steaming secret consommΓ©, and the center of the white rice is dotted with tender yellow millet grains, which makes me whet to watch.
"You eat when you eat, why are you staring at me?" Ash Ye looked at me uncomfortably, and she put down her chopsticks and looked at me, waiting for my explanation.
"I actually just want to see how you eat, I see that people write like this in supernatural novels: pretend to open your mouth, but in fact, when you suck in the air, you will suck out all the essence of the food in front of you. Then, although the food looks unchanged on the surface, it has lost even the slightest taste, and only scrap remains. β
"If someone tastes it at this time, it will only feel like they have eaten a bite of food that has been spoiled for days."
Ash Leaf patiently listened to my babble about the chase, and then she frowned, first glanced at me with an idiot look, then picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and finally swallowed it in her stomach.
"See clearly?" Ashleaf snorted.
ββ¦β¦ Well. "To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed.
"Eat it when you see it clearly."
I nodded and began to bury my head in eating.
"Do you like lamb liver?" I saw the chopsticks of the gray leaf repeatedly reaching for the sauce lamb liver on the plate.
"No."
"Okay, of course you can, I'm afraid you won't eat anything - boss, another sauce lamb liver!"
βOkοΌ Please wait a moment~"
After filling my stomach half-full, I asked Ash Leaf the question in my heart, "How did you come to this world?" β
"I don't know."
"And how did you know that I was your author?"
"I don't know, but when I came to this world, it was imprinted in my mind."
"Ugh." Although I had expected such an answer, I couldn't help but sigh.
I was eager to figure out the cause of these two supernatural events that were happening around me, and what kind of force it was that built my novel into a real world and sent its protagonists to my real life.
Could it be that my life is actually a novel written by some author?
This interesting conjecture popped into my head.
Is it possible?
Quite possibly.
Isn't there an interesting box theory about the "Infinite Horror" series?
If this is really the case, if this author dares to be a eunuch, then I will not let him go.
In the words of Ash Leaf, it is:
"I'll kill you!"
