Chapter 5 The Demon Going to School(1/2)
"This is your house!" Huai Xu asked knowingly. He stopped his eyes on the desk lamp in front of Zhou Li, resisting the desire to touch it. "This small street light is quite unique. I have always wanted to know how this thing lights up!"
"The principle of this is...it lights up when it is powered on."
"……oh!"
Huai Xu seemed to understand.
Then he turned around and looked at Zhou Li's bed: "This bed is also unique, but why do you have to sleep in two beds alone? Do you have a maid or something?"
"This was bought when I was a child. At that time, I slept with my brother. He slept on the upper bunk. Later, when we grew up, we didn't sleep together. After we went to middle school, the bed also moved to this house." Zhou Li turned around and looked at Huai Xu with his eyes flying.
"Then you don't want to sleep as soon as you want to sleep as soon as you want to sleep as soon as you want to sleep as you want to sleep as you want to sleep as you want to sleep as you want to sleep as you want to sleep as you want to sleep!"
"It's almost the same."
"It's so good!" Huai Xu exclaimed, then pointed to Zhou Li's bookshelf, densely packed, "Have you read so many books?"
“Most of them are textbooks.”
"Oh! I know this!" Huai Xu nodded, and his eyes continued to fly everywhere.
Zhou Li found that something seemed to be wrong, so when Huai Xu's eyes paused on the hyacinth on his desk, and when he was about to ask the next question, he stood in front of him: "Do you often stay in that tree?"
"No." Huai Xu stared at Hyacinth with his eyes, "Why is that grass growing in the water? It has no soil, and its roots are soaked white."
"So you were waiting for me at that intersection tonight?"
"How do you know? I didn't. It's a coincidence. Speaking of which, we are really destined to be together."
"Then why are you on that tree again? You weren't there a few days ago."
"Is that true?"
“…that’s a hyacinth, which cannot be drowned.”
"Hydnas." Huai Xu repeated.
"You said you just woke up, have you slept for a long time?"
“Yes.”
"How long does that last?"
"I don't know either. I don't have any makeup like you. Anyway, I think the world has become different for a long time."
"Then what was your previous world like?" Zhou Li caught a point in Huai Xu's words.
"I don't remember, it's not the case anyway."
"Do you feel strange? Then what do you remember?"
"Well. I don't remember a lot of them. I can remember a little bit occasionally, and I should wake up like this." Huai Xu's eyes showed a little confusion. There were only some fragments in his mind, but they couldn't be connected. It was very uncomfortable to touch every time. In order to deal with this discomfort, he had to stop recalling himself.
"Where are you sleeping? Underground? In the coffin? In the cave?"
"You can't see the place."
"Are they the same?"
"I guess it's right?"
"Then what are you?" Zhou Li pursed his lips when he asked this question, "Where did you come from?"
"Demon? Spirit? God? Monster?" Huai Xu's eyes were puzzled when he answered, as if he was not sure about these questions like Zhou Li. "The one who called the most was the monster, and there were some very ugly swear words. As for where we came from... I heard other monsters say that we may not be things in this world, so you don't like us."
"How long have you woken up?"
"It's been over a year."
"It's been more than a year, I remember..." Zhou Li had a question, "Don't you have a lot of similar people, and there are many people with each other. Why don't you go to find them?"
"They don't like me. The younger ones hide from me, and the older ones refuse to let me stay in their territory. Maybe because I look like a human." Huai Xu was a little angry when she said this, "Actually, I'm easy to get along with, I think."
"You just said that you heard from other monsters that you may not be from this world."
"What's wrong?"
"They don't want to contact you, why do you tell you this?"
“I have special tips for advice.”
"oh."
Zhou Li understood. The Lord, who just said to him, "You ask, tell you what I know," was actually still confused and could not provide him with much useful information at all. Moreover, he was not very brave to believe this information.
So he withdrew his gaze, turned around and picked up his pen silently. The noisy sound of rain outside made this early summer night look particularly quiet.
"I'm going to write the paper, so you can stay here."
“What is a paper?”
"It's just a question. If you don't do it, you will have to stay up late. You will have to hand it over to the teacher tomorrow morning."
"Oh, you do it." Huai Xu calmed down.
The small sounds of the pen tip rub against the paper are easily covered by the sound of rain.
Zhou Li wrote for a while, and turned around and saw that Huai Xu was still leaning on the ladder of the high and low beds, staring at him with his eyes open. The face was too delicate, like a work of a veteran painter working hard. This appearance that was so demanding to the extreme was not something that nature should have.
A little fake.
Huaixue was nervous: "You write it!"
He didn't bother him.
Zhou Li withdrew his gaze, held the pen and thought for a while before continuing to look for words to him: "How have you lived this year? Have you been around here before?"
"I came from a small town and walked all the way, and then came here. It's good, there are not as many monsters outside the city. I have been in the city for more than half a year. I usually walk around and go wherever I want. Sometimes I go to some places where you like to play, but I just have to go secretly. Sometimes I go to school." Huai Xu was very happy as soon as he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes flew up, and then he could talk about a long list.
"Are you still going to school?" Zhou Li was a little surprised, "Where is it?"
"Then." Huai Xu pointed in a direction, but when Zhou Li turned his back to him, he said again, "It's just that there is a long street in spring where flowers will bloom on the walls."
"Oh, Jiuan Junior High School, the one next to the third junior high school."
“Yes, that’s it.”
"What did you learn?"
"Pinyin, recognize words."
"Oh, third primary school, I was studying there in elementary school."
“I learned very quickly.”
"Then you should be better than me." Zhou Li said, "Then where will you go later? After the rain stops."
"I don't know, walk around."
"Walk out and walk to the left, there is a red house, which is quite large, with four words written on the pearl on your palm. I will write these words for you later. There are many beds and sofas inside, so you will definitely have a way to get in."
"I'll go and have a look at it then."
“…”
The rain never stopped.
After finishing two sets of papers in a row and writing a diary, Zhou Li stretched his waist and turned his head to see that Huai Xu had taken a book on his elementary school Chinese books at some point, which had already read nearly one-third of them.
Zhou Li hesitated for a moment, looked at the bunk bed, and asked in a low voice: "When will you leave?"
"Let's go now!" Huai Xu quickly put down the book.
"Just sleep here for one night, I'm not driving you."
"Hmm..." Huai Xu hesitated, "Are you afraid that I will eat you tonight?"
"Not afraid." Zhou Li put away the paper and closed the window.
"Can you be very powerful?" Huai Xu was puzzled.
"I'm not awesome, you are so powerful. You can come up on the 25th floor. I can't do anything if you want to eat me." Zhou Li got up and walked towards the bed, "I'm going to sleep, you can sleep too."
“I’m wet.”
"What haven't you done yet?"
"without."
"It's okay, just sleep like this. I don't sleep on the upper bunk often. I'll wake up early tomorrow morning."
"oh."
Huai Xu turned around and looked at the high and low bed, bent his legs and jumped, but before it popped out, he pulled back his strength, took off his shoes and climbed up the wooden ladder in a regular manner.
He did not lie down, but sat by the bed, his legs hanging down from the middle of the guardrail.
Zhou Li also lay on the bed.
Two beautifully curved calves were swaying in front of him, like jade.
Bang, Zhou Li turned off the light, and his eyes were gone.
The legs stopped shaking!
