The person who came was none other than Zhu Xiaoning, a girl who worked in the same store as Xie Yunhe.

She was still wearing a school uniform at the moment, a white shirt on top, a grass-green plaid jacket on top, and a plaid skirt of the same color as the coat underneath.

Zhu Xiaoning was also a little surprised when she saw Xie Yunhe, and after carefully observing it up and down for a while, she asked with some concern: "Brother Yunhe, are you okay lately?" How did you lose so much weight? ”

In the past half a month, due to different part-time work schedules, the two have not seen each other, so it is no wonder that Zhu Xiaoning was surprised.

"Nothing, but how did you get here?"

Zhu Xiaoning's little face blushed slightly, but he still showed a cute smile and lifted the ingredients in his hand.

"Brother Yunhe, I heard from the store manager that you took sick leave, and I don't have to work today, so I thought about coming to see you. By the way, I also bought some ingredients and wanted to make you something to eat to replenish your body. ”

Xie Yunhe asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"Huh? For, why ......"

Zhu Xiaoning hesitated for a long time, but his little face became more and more red.

"You, you never ask for leave, I think you should be very sick...... That, that, if I bother you, I'll go back now. ”

After speaking, Zhu Xiaoning secretly glanced at Xie Yunhe, and when he saw him frowning, he lowered his little head in some frustration.

"It's dangerous here."

is different from the dark long skirt uniform in the store, Zhu Xiaoning, who is wearing a school uniform, has his arms and legs exposed. And it is very dangerous for such a beautiful girl to walk alone in the slums.

This is not some alarmist statement, nor is it a lesson in blood piled up by countless miserable and dark real events. Xie Yunhe has seen too many tragic things over the years, which impressed him deeply, and I am afraid that he will never forget what he saw with his own eyes in this life.

"yes, I know."

After Zhu Xiaoning nodded, he bit his lip lightly.

"But Brother Yunhe, I'm really worried about you."

This time it was Xie Yunhe's turn to make a difficulty. Although Zhu Xiaoning came to see her with kindness, she obviously disturbed his plan.

- No, it doesn't have to be.

Xie Yunhe suddenly changed his mind.

In terms of time...... It should be in time.

“…… Got it, then you come in first. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a bright smile and hummed happily.

Because the walls are thin and the room is very simple, the temperature inside is not much different from the outside.

But now it's different, because someone is cooking, and the house is warm.

The stove, which Xie Yunhe hadn't used much in the past six years, was skillfully opened by Zhu Xiaoning, the water in the pot was boiling, and there were also vegetables and meat slices in another frying pan that were constantly stir-fried and hissed.

Soon, a faint mist filled the room, and the smell of appetizing wafted from near the doorway.

Xie Yunhe's house is divided into two parts, two-thirds is a bedroom, and the remaining third is a small hallway. The hallway has a kitchen on one side and a bathroom on the other.

Zhu Xiaoning is standing there now, humming softly with his nose, looking in a good mood.

She stir-fried the ingredients and poured ingredients and flavorings into the pan, all of which looked so natural and skillful.

Xie Yunhe sat on the side, looking like he was watching TV, but in fact, his attention was completely focused on Zhu Xiaoning's silhouette.

Because of the silhouette that came into view, Xie Yunhe couldn't see her clearly, but the smile on the corner of her mouth that was faintly seen from the side made Xie Yunhe feel even more inexplicably excited. What a pretty girl, he thought.

This girl who shouldn't have been here this thought involuntarily became stronger and stronger in Xie Yunhe's heart, and he secretly clenched his fists.

"Brother Yunhe."

Just as Xie Yunhe was looking at Zhu Xiaoning's silhouette in a daze, a crisp voice suddenly came.

Xie Yunhe was startled, but fortunately Zhu Xiaoning didn't look at herself, she was still busy cooking.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Do you usually have a heavy or light taste?"

Xie Yunhe thought that he had been eating brick cakes for the past six years, where did he care about what saltiness he had, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, you can eat it." ”

Zhu Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, then looked at the indifferent look on Xie Yunhe's face, as if he had also noticed something, and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Xie Yunhe looked at her silently for a while and asked, "Do you usually cook by yourself?" ”

"Well, yes, I live alone, hehe, of course I have to do it myself."

"You live alone?" Xie Yunhe was a little surprised.

Zhu Xiaoning nodded as a matter of course, "Well, I lived by myself when the third year of high school first started." ”

"Isn't the third year of high school hard, you should live with your family."

Zhu Xiaoning's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "For me, it's better to live alone." At home...... It's hard work. ”

Xie Yunhe didn't ask any more questions, and the conversation between the two ended. Everyone has a different past and a tragic story. When Xie Yunhe thought of this, his heart was inexplicably balanced, and when he looked at Zhu Xiaoning, the indifference in his eyes naturally decreased a lot.

Thanks to Zhu Xiaoning's blessing, Xie Yunhe also had a hearty dinner.

In order to replenish Xie Yunhe's body, Zhu Xiaoning bought a lot of ingredients, and several dishes were served on the table, each of which was exquisite and delicious.

Xie Yunhe devoured the rice bowl for a while, and the chopsticks in his hand never stopped eating since he started.

Zhu Xiaoning didn't eat much, and he had to chew and swallow slowly for a long time with a small bite of food. Seeing Xie Yunhe's cheeks bulging, she smiled slightly as if she was very satisfied, and gave him a few chopsticks and dishes.

"You live alone, isn't it okay if you don't go back early?"

After eating, Xie Yunhe originally wanted to wash the dishes by himself, but Zhu Xiaoning didn't let him do it, so he sat against the wall and continued to pretend to watch TV, but in fact he was watching Zhu Xiaoning.

"It's okay, tomorrow is a rest day anyway, and I won't go until night when I work."

"Do you keep in touch with your family regularly?"

"Hmm...... Occasionally, occasionally I will contact my mother. ”

Xie Yunhe asked her about her situation as carefully as checking her household registration, and the kind-hearted Zhu Xiaoning also responded to the questions without the slightest doubt.

After collecting the necessary information, Xie Yunhe didn't ask any more questions, and stood up.

He turned on his phone and glanced at the time, it was only eight o'clock, and there were still more than two hours before departure.

Xie Yunhe put away his phone and quietly observed her from the perspective that Zhu Xiaoning couldn't see him.

Slowly, he clenched his fists, his complexion changed suddenly, and his eyes became cold.

For a person who is about to die, whether he kills people and sets fires before death, in fact, there is not much difference.

At this moment, Xie Yunhe looked at the defenseless girl in front of him, and a terrible thought quietly appeared like a cancer cell, and then spread wildly in his mind.

It's better to be right here, completely kidnap this girl and turn her into your own thing completely. Anyway, he has put life and death out of the way, no longer cares whether he is out of the social trajectory, and no longer needs to follow the complicated rules of the game.

It's been 24 years.

After 24 years of being a human being, he has never once obtained what he really wanted, and now he has lost everything he has. The most precious memory has formed an exaggerated and ironic smile.

Of course, reason and conscience told him that he should not have ruined this girl's life like this. Yes, the moment he fell into darkness, the trajectory of this girl's life will also be extremely turbulent.

That is the deep guilt and grief that she can't bear, maybe even if he lets Zhu Xiaoning go after that, Zhu Xiaoning can't be her before anymore, and it will be difficult to return to normal society again and live as a normal person.

Xie Yunhe's heart suddenly became empty, like a leather ball sewn from human skin, and something, like a living thing, was constantly patting the leather ball made of human skin.

Then, there was a hollow echo, forming a larger and larger bubble in his mind. The sound of the bubble gently bursting, but Xie Yunhe felt deafening, like a nasal call.

Xie Yunhe kept looking for various possibilities, and then denied them all one by one. In this way, he hopes to convince himself and alleviate his guilt, while at the same time filling his mind with unwavering prejudices.

Attacking Zhu Xiaoning here, this is the only way, and it is also the best way.

Xie Yunhe persuaded himself like this, and the more he believed this, the more his heart beat violently.

Eventually, he felt his eyes heat up and his eyes flutter from his heartbeat.

Now in Xie Yunhe's eyes, the girl in front of him is no longer Zhu Xiaoning, and she is no longer a good girl who walked through the dangerous slums alone to visit him because she was worried about herself—a girl who should be happy and loved.

She is now his prey, a "cargo" at his disposal, a hunter and a demon.

"Xiao Ning, come over here."

After making mental preparations, Xie Yunhe made up his mind and called out to Zhu Xiaoning.

"Uh-huh, okay."

Zhu Xiaoning didn't realize what was about to happen, she wiped her wet hands on her skirt and walked towards the bedroom without hesitation.

Xie Yunhe was still regretting it until the last 0.1 second before turning off the lights, and he tried to use reason to restrain his devilish violence and cruelty.

However, at the moment when Zhu Xiaoning stepped into the bedroom with one foot, Xie Yunhe coldly turned off the bedroom light.

Suddenly, the room was plunged into a suffocating darkness.

The moment the darkness came, Xie Yunhe's last rationality was also completely wiped out, and he pounced on Zhu Xiaoning at once, and grabbed Zhu Xiaoning's neck with both hands.

"Yikes!! Clouds, Brother Yunhe...... Woo...... It's painful......"

Xie Yunhe was speechless, not because he didn't want to say it, but because now he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

Zhu Xiaoning struggled violently, but she couldn't withstand the strength of an adult man. The feeling of suffocation began to hit gradually, and through the miserable white moonlight, it could be seen that Zhu Xiaoning's eyes gradually burst out, full of horror and disbelief, and looked straight at Xie Yunhe.

Xie Yunhe felt that Zhu Xiaoning's eyes were not eyes, but two high-temperature hotlines, and the high temperature that caused him severe pain burned his body as far as Zhu Xiaoning's sight could see. But this sharp pain did not make him give up, he trembled all over, and tried his best to give Zhu Xiaoning a fear that he could never forget.

Death, infinitely approaching death. This is what Xie Yunhe wants Zhu Xiaoning to remember.

It is also a method that Xie Yunhe personally experienced in the poor life of pigs and dogs in the past, which can make a person give in to the greatest extent in the shortest time.
