Chapter 19: The Child and the Monster in the Attic (2)
Winter seems to be approaching, and the footsteps of pedestrians on the street are a little faster.
The newly opened bubble tea shop is full of young men and women. Shi Shu was in the corner by the window, looking at the lively scene outside, and his heart was alive with the milk tea in his hand.
"Winter is coming, steamed buns." Shi Shu muttered.
"Hmm." Qiu Huan, who was immersed in the world of milk tea, answered perfunctorily.
Shi Shuben also said casually, seeing that the steamed bun was not interested in her words, he picked up the milk tea in his hand and drank it in a sip.
"Shi Shu?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Shi Shu looked up and saw a relatively unfamiliar face, but then remembered that it was the person Nan Yu brought to eat hot pot that day.
Shi Shu immediately looked a little nervous, she didn't know how to deal with her friend's brother at all.
"Well, hello." A very official answer, Shi Shu grabbed the milk tea in his hand slightly nervously.
"My name is Wei Ze."
The man gave a brief introduction to himself, although he had already met him last time.
"Ahh
"Can I sit here?" Wei Ze pulled out the chair very invisibly.
"Of course."
Qiu Huan jumped on Shi Shu's leg and stared fiercely at the human imp named Wei Ze with his eyes, looking unkind.
"Hehe, is this your captive demon servant? It's really rare. Wei Ze looked at the puppy-shaped monster on the opposite side half-playfully.
"Wang~ Don't underestimate me." Qiu Huan, who was despised by a human imp, proudly justified himself.
Shi Shu looked at the two people who suddenly met each other, and trapped the steamed bun in his arms, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Hey, woman, who am I doing this for!" After being taken out of the crowded bubble tea shop, Qiu Huan immediately began to settle accounts after the autumn.
"Don't be so rude!"
Shi Shu rewarded him with another punch, and Qiu Huan immediately quieted down, this damn unscrupulous employer!
Shi Shu and the so-called friend brother walked aside and said something.
Qiu Huan, who had just been beaten, stayed on the ground with an unhappy face, and gave up disciplining the stinky little ghost who didn't know what to do.
"Hahaha, it's really a useless monster, even the owner dislikes it."
The sound from far and near quickly made Qiu Huan angry, and he jumped and stood up.
"Heh, where did the monster come from, the one who is timid, and dares to call you Lord Qiuhuan's board." Tsundere Qiuhuan couldn't listen to this kind of words, and she exploded all at once.
"Hahaha, didn't I come, you useless monster."
A monster in human form with two strange wings flew down from the sky and landed in front of Qiu Huan.
As soon as the two looked at each other, they fought.
"You miscellaneous birds dare to scold you Lord Qiuhuan, it's just looking for death!"
Although Qiu Huan, who looks like a puppy, doesn't look as powerful as the monster in terms of size, his whole body exudes a strong demonic aura.
The youkai on the other side should have noticed this, but he didn't intend to throw in the towel.
"Heh, is that all you have the ability to do, no wonder your master doesn't care about you at all." Not only did the monster not admit defeat, but it also took the initiative to attack.
"Miscellaneous hair, you'll soon know my abilities, and ah, that human imp isn't the master of Lord Ben."
"As a servant, but she!" The merciless Qiu Huan unleashed a more powerful attack, trampling the defiant monster under his feet, and slamming a few claws on his face.
The two people who heard the screams of the monster rushed over and saw the scene in front of them, and inevitably Qiu Huan was criticized again.
"You inhuman stinky little ghost, just let the monsters eat you." Qiu Huan, who was repaired, muttered there unconvinced.
"Oh, your master doesn't like you at all, what a useless guy." The defeated youkai flew over and laughed at Qiu Huan.
"Suspense." With a cold word, the monster immediately shut up.
"I'm so sorry."
"Ah, it's not your fault, it's my steamed buns that are too rude."
"Huh."
He chuckled twice, leaned over, and touched Qiu Huan's head, the cold fingers made Qiu Huan couldn't help but blow up.
"Wang~" Qiu Huan couldn't help but scream, and hid behind Shi Shu, that little ghost is not a simple character, just the abundant demon power in his body, it is not comparable to the weak demon servant next to him, I really don't know why a powerful human would sign a contract with this kind of monster, it is a complete waste.
"Looks like this puppy doesn't like me very much." Wei Ze said with a cold smile.
"Well, hehe, he's more afraid of life." Shi Shu opened his eyes and said nonsense.
Qiu Huan hummed and lay on the ground next to Shi Shu's feet, not making any movements.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down again, and the two humans who were not talking much also noticed it.
It's almost time to leave.
Qiu Huan, who was walking on the way home, thought carefully about what that person said, and what the so-called party was like for people with demonic powers.
The people there are not like her, haunted by monsters, but they love them just as much.
Conflicting moods, expectant and afraid.
I don't know what Nan Yu thinks about this matter, it should be safer if she recommends it, after all, as an outsider, I don't know if other people in the party will accept it.
"Shi Shu, if you have that kind of party, I can't protect you." Qiu Huan was a little worried, in his opinion, there was no need to take such a senseless risk.
"Let's see what Nan Yu has to say." Shi Shu didn't want to give up on getting in touch with these.
These, human beings like her, their minds.
After receiving Nan Yu's affirmative answer, Shi Shu made an appointment to follow Nan Yu to the party that weekend.
On the morning of the weekend, Shi Shu put on her best clothes and finished tidying up, just in time for Nan Yu to pick her up.
The sound of the car horn outside was urging the people inside, and Shi Shu hurried over.
"Sorry, it's late." Shi Shu held on to the car door and said.
"Ah~ah, this is not the point, the point is who is the handsome guy behind you?" Nan Yu looked at Shi Shu teasingly.
"Huh? Schoolboy? ”
"Wow~" Shi Shu was so frightened by the people behind him that he almost fell, but was caught by a strong hand.
"Wow~" Nan Yu's face was full of gossip, and he couldn't stop it at all.
Shi Shu, who was sitting in the car, had a black line on her face, looking at Qiu Huan, who was happily eating next to her, she was a little helpless.
As the next owner of the Hundred Things, it is impossible not to go to that kind of occasion, so just be aggrieved and pretend to be your servant first, this kind of words came out of Qiu Huan's mouth.
In fact, Shi Shu is a lot more relieved, except for the appearance of this dog sitting in the car eating breakfast.
"Are steamed buns so good-looking? It's been hiding for a long time, Shi Shu. "Nan Yu hasn't given up gossip yet, so the two of them are very compatible.
Thinking about it, Nan Yu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head to look at the two people in the back seat and nodded.
"Human, hurry up and get your dangerous thoughts out of your head, even if you invite Ben-sama to breakfast, but you can't." Qiu Huan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nan Yu in front of him with his eyes.
"Aha, you eat more steamed buns." Although Nan Yu, who was caught, was a little weak-hearted, he couldn't stop thinking or something, okay!
Look, it's all started to be fed.
The people in front seem to be thinking a little too much, but in fact it is like this.
"You eat less, it's someone else's car." Shi Shu whispered to Qiu Huan.
"You ate two steamed buns from Aunt Xiaoyun in the morning."
"Well, you won't be allowed to eat anything at the party, so let's have some."
As he spoke, Qiu Huan stuffed the unfinished pastry in his hand into Shi Shu's mouth.
Qiu Huan, who turned into a human body, made Shi Shu a little uncomfortable, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and felt a little strange inexplicably, but he didn't think about it for a while.
The person in front of him threw himself into the mirror, covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
The car slowly pulled into what appeared to be a suburb, rows of huge trees hiding something, but still revealing the windows of some high-rise buildings.
"Second Miss, it's time for us to get out of the car." The driver who sent them here said respectfully to Nan Yu.
"I'm in trouble."
With a polite gesture, several people followed the uncle along a marble-paved road to the front, and soon came to a European-style door.
I thought it would be a European style, but I didn't expect that after entering the door, it seemed to come to an ancient room, and the exquisite wood carved beams all showed the prominent identity of the owner.
The carved hall was filled with all kinds of people, as well as their captive servants.
"Look, you're going to go hungry on an occasion like this." Qiu Huan crossed his arms, his cold tone, but what he said was still related to eating.
Shi Shu nodded, indicating that she knew, and then couldn't help but look around.
"Second Miss, you should go and say hello to Mrs. Xuan first." The driver reminded the South Crossing Road.
"You go first, we'll be careful." Although Shi Shu didn't know who Mrs. Xuan was, he wouldn't be so stupid as not to know the rules of the family.
"Okay, then I'll go first, you wait here for me first, and I'll come to you soon."
Nan Yu left here, and Shi Shu took Qiu Huan to walk aimlessly in the hall, planning to go to a corner and wait for Nan Yu to come back.
"Shi Shu, you really came."
Hear a familiar voice, it was Wei Ze's.
Qiu Huan followed the sound source, and sure enough, he saw the nasty flying monster and his master.
"Ah, I'm waiting for Nanyu." Shi Shu replied a little nervously.
"Well, it would be nice to show you around, or maybe you can meet some people." Wei Ze's unique tone was obviously like a conversation between friends, but it still had a hint of gloom.
"Then I'm bothering you." Since he decided to come here, Shi Shu was already ready.
Qiu Huan followed the two people in front of him without saying a word, but stared at Shi Shu with a wrong look.
Out of the hall through the doors on both sides, along a verandah, to a large courtyard surrounded by rooms.
Near the verandah, red goldfish and koi fish swam happily in the pond, and instead of scaring away, they gathered when they heard footsteps.
"You're Shi Shu."
Some immature and young little girls stood at the corner of the backlight, smiling with the sunshine all over their bodies.
Who is she?
