Chapter 4 Huai Preface(1/2)
It was nine o'clock after evening self-study and it was completely dark.
At this time, it was windy outside, which was particularly cool, and a light flashed occasionally in the sky.
Heavy rain is coming.
Li Nan shouted behind Zhou Li: "Zhou Li, are you walking or riding a bicycle? Do I want me to ask the school student to borrow an umbrella for you!"
Zhou Li turned around: "My house is very close."
"Oh well."
"goodbye."
"hold head high!"
Zhou Li carried his bag and crowded downstairs, and glanced casually, but did not see his younger brother Zhu Shuang. He did not wait, and walked out of the school without waiting.
Sweeping away in the crowd, the man was still standing next to the tree, raising his head and staring blankly at the direction where the lightning had just lit up.
After leaving the school gate, street lights came one by one.
The fragrance of locust flowers became stronger. As the wind blew, the small white petals were blown off and were swept up on the ground by the wind.
Zhou Li looked at the road and began to think in his mind.
‘They’ are getting more and more.
In his impression, there were not so many of them before, and even in the mountains, he could only see them once, so he only needed to pay a little attention to avoid intersection with them.
But now somehow, he often sees them.
This is in the city.
This made Zhou Li feel a little uneasy.
Shaoqing, he said to himself: "Maybe it's time for me to make a new attempt."
When he was about to arrive in the community, he suddenly stopped.
Looking up, there was a figure sitting on the locust tree opposite the intersection, still with a slender body, still wearing the clothes of that day. The lush locust tree is an area where lights are hard to reach, and long hair can still be seen fluttering.
That's a girl.
Wear shoes.
Zhou Li was a little confused. When the green light came on, he slowly walked over and glanced at the branches from time to time.
When Zhou Li approached, the girl's eyes were fixed on him. She suppressed the surprise in her eyes, frowned first, and then said, "Don't you pretend you can't see me? Why don't you pretend today?"
Zhou Li raised his head and looked at her: "Why... have become a girl?"
Suddenly!
The girl jumped down again, and she was very skilled.
A flash of lightning lit up, making her face white.
"Why do you want to find me today?"
"Talk to you."
"Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" She firmly believed that Zhou Li was afraid of being eaten by her the day before yesterday.
"Not afraid."
"snort!"
The girl snorted lightly, and then she immediately smiled: "Let's change the place and say, there are people watching you next to her."
Zhou Li's expression was calm: "Let them see."
"Others will think you have a brain disease."
"I'm used to it."
The girl didn't answer the conversation, took two steps forward, turned around and looked at him, and then continued to move forward when she saw him following him.
At the same time, it slowed down.
Zhou Li looked at the girl's neck from behind. Only when he was so close did he observe the difference between her and humans.
Her skin is so good!
Her complexion is quite white, but not as white as exaggerated.
But it's too delicate!
There is no pores or fluff, and it reflects a crystal luster under the lights of street shops.
She must have some ability to change, right? If so, it makes sense that she was completely different from today. Zhou Li has never seen "them" who looks almost exactly like her.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the girl carefully again.
The loose linen pants stick out the curve of the body, maybe there is a small tail shorter than a rabbit hidden inside?
Zhou Li shook his head.
Soon, the two walked outside an alley with a little less crowded population. There were not many less people, but there were no street lights or shops, so the light had to be slightly dimmer.
The girl did not go deep into the alley, but walked into a few meters before walking to the wall and leaned against the wall.
"Just that's it, don't go in, so you won't worry about me wanting to eat you."
“…”
Zhou Li was too lazy to explain to her.
The alley is a little dark, with a red "Taoyuan Internet Cafe" sign illuminated in the center. Most of the light comes from the windows of buildings on both sides. There are a few stray cats sitting next to the garbage dump for meetings, and there are also a few handsome guys with dyed hair squatting at the entrance of the Internet cafe to smoke. The stray cats and the guys will glance here from time to time, and their movements are surprisingly similar.
It seems that little raindrops have begun to fall in the sky.
Zhou Li looked at the girl, hesitated and asked, "Do you look like this?"
"no."
"Is it yesterday?"
"Not that." The girl said, adding, "Don't be confused by my appearance."
"Then are you... male or female?"
"For us, this is just a shell!" said the girl, "I will become whatever I want."
"So willful."
"May I have your name?"
"Zhou Li, where are you?"
"My name is...Huai Xu." The girl thought for a while, "If we know each other like this, we changed our names."
"Forget it, can you change back to what you were yesterday? You made me... not used to it." The other party was so beautiful, which put a lot of pressure on Zhou Li, who had just grown up.
"Why? Isn't it good-looking?" Huai Xu looked down at himself, "Or do you think the one you looked better yesterday?"
"I'm used to yesterday's that."
"Well... you like men, then I have to wait until the day and night change."
"Downhill and dawn?"
"That's right."
At this time, the group of young men squatting at the door of the Internet cafe in the distance stood up, but did not go upstairs into the Internet cafe, but came to them.
Huai Xu turned his head and looked at it, closing his mouth.
The group of people walked past Zhou Li and glanced at his school uniform: "I won't go back if it's raining!"
Zhou Li did not answer.
When they walked out of the alley, Zhou Li said, "It's going to rain, aren't you going home?"
"I'm not afraid of getting wet from the rain."
"I'm afraid."
"I don't have a home."
"No home?"
"Yeah." Huai Xu showed a thoughtful look, "Maybe there, I don't remember it before."
"Don't remember?" Zhou Li was filled with doubts. Not only the doubts about Huai Xu these days, but also the ones he had accumulated over the past decade, "What happened to you?"
"I don't know, I wake up and don't remember it."
"wake up……"
This word made Zhou Li stunned, and a picture of them crawling out of the soil appeared in his mind. There was a tombstone erected crookedly next to it, followed by a sunflower that destroyed the terrifying picture.
"Actually, I have a lot of questions to ask you."
"You ask!" Huai Xu's eyes lit up, "I will tell you what I know!"
