My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 182 The pollen you spray... is nothing? (2)

The health center in the town is not big and there are not many people. Most of the people working here are locals who are related to the people in the town.

Chu Xiang was new, young and pretty, so she was naturally welcomed by everyone.

The work here is not busy. At most, if someone has a headache or a cold, they will come here to see a doctor and buy some medicine. If it is a serious illness, everyone will go to the big hospitals in the city, so everyone has a lot of free time to chat about daily gossip.

"Hey, how much gift money do you plan to give?"

"I'll give you five hundred."

"so much?"

"Last time my husband had his birthday, the Zhang family gave him so much. I have no choice but to give him a gift in return."

"That's true. For people like us who don't have much relationship with the Zhang family, giving two or three hundred will be enough."

They were discussing the matter of a family in the town that was about to get married. They saw each other every day and always owed each other favors because of something they had done, so giving gifts became a very important thing.

A middle-aged man said: "Xiao Chu, you should also go to the wedding to have a drink."

Chu Xiang stopped cleaning the tools in his hands, smiled, and simply replied: "I won't go."

Someone smiled and said to the uncle: "Look at what you said. If Xiao Chu goes to the wedding, won't he have to give a gift too? Xiao Chu will leave after the internship, and then the gift money will not be taken back."

Doctor Wu was an old lady who was about to retire, but she was still very energetic. The hospital hadn't had any newcomers for a long time. She took good care of Chu Xiang and asked with concern: "Xiao Chu, I heard that you don't live in the staff dormitory, so where do you live?"

"I rented a house not far away, so I can walk to and from get off work every day. It's very convenient."

Doctor Wu was curious, "Whose house did you rent?"

She has lived in the local area for many years and knows almost everyone in the town. Sometimes she plays mahjong with the old ladies in the town and knows all the gossip about everyone's family.

Chu Xiang said: "It was an old lady named Lan."

The surname "Lan" is not common. Doctor Wu thought for a long time but could not remember anyone in the town with the surname "Lan".

It just so happened that someone brought a child with a cold to see a doctor. Chu Xiang was a newcomer, so he quickly ran out to receive the person.

Doctor Wu nudged the middle-aged man next to him and asked, "Have you ever heard of anyone with the last name Lan in our town?"

The uncle shook his head, "No."

"That's really strange. Why did Xiao Chu say that he rented a house from an old lady named Lan?"

"Maybe that's their own surname. When we see old people, we usually call them old lady. Who knows what the surnames of these old ladies were before they got married?"

Doctor Wu thought about it and felt that this made some sense, but she was still a little curious. She decided to find out which old lady had the surname Lan next time she played cards with her old friends.

When Chu Xiang finished a day's work, the sun was setting. He passed by the Zhang family who were celebrating a wedding and heard even more lively noises. Tomorrow was the day when the Zhang family would marry off their daughter. According to local customs, several tables would be set up tonight to thank the people who helped.

She went to the store to buy some mouse-catching supplies and some Oreo cookies as snacks, then walked to the door of her home. Night had just fallen and the street lights came on.

Chu Xiang pushed open the iron gate and was startled by the noise coming from behind her.

"Sister." Two boys who looked exactly the same stood hand in hand under the light of the street lamp, smiling innocently. They asked together, "Can you play hide-and-seek with us?"

Chu Xiang glanced at the house behind them. There was no light on. She asked, "Are your parents not home yet?"

The boy on the left said: "Dad and Mom had a fight."

The boy on the right said, "They left home and haven't come back yet." Then they said together, "Big sister, can you play hide-and-seek with us?"

Chu Xiang hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "Do you want to have a meal before playing hide-and-seek?"

The twin boys looked at each other for a while, then looked at Chu Xiang and tilted their heads.

What Chu Xiang meant by a meal was just cooking all the hotpot seasoning and ingredients together. Considering that children need a balanced nutrition, she added a few more vegetables.

The twin brothers sat at the table holding hands, staring at the gurgling soup, their eyes sparkling.

Chu Xiang placed two sets of bowls and chopsticks in front of them and asked, "How long have your parents been gone?"

The child on the left said, "Last night."

The child on the right said, "This morning."

They opened their mouths at the same time, but their words were different.

Chu Xiang looked back and forth at the two children with suspicion in his eyes.

The child on the left said, "This morning."

The child on the right said, "Last night."

They spoke again at the same time, and this time the answers were reversed, but still different.

The twins simply shut their mouths and picked up their chopsticks to eat.

They seemed to have been hungry for a long time, their chopsticks and mouths never stopped eating. Chu Xiang originally thought that the hot pot might be too spicy for children, but they adapted well and not only finished all the ingredients, they even asked Chu Xiang to order two more servings of noodles.

The two children finished eating Chu Xiang’s three days’ worth of food reserves, touched their round bellies, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The child on the left said: "Big sister, we are full."

The child on the right said: "Let's play hide and seek together."

Chu Xiang happened to be too full, so she decided to do some exercise to help digest the food. Before the game, she explained the rules of the game, "You are only allowed to hide in the house, and you are not allowed to go outside."

The two children said together: "We have to decide the rules of the game."

Chu Xiang folded his arms and said condescendingly: "I am the master here, you have to listen to me, and I also treated you to food, you have to be grateful to me."

The two children were silent for a while, and perhaps they felt that Chu Xiang's words made sense, so they nodded together.

What was inexplicable was that the two children suddenly stared at Chu Xiang's back without blinking.

Chu Xiang looked back and saw that it was empty, without any other unnecessary shadows.

The twins said in unison, "Can we have some friends over to play?"

Chu Xiang smiled decisively, "Okay."

Anyway, it’s the same whether she plays with two children or three children, so she doesn’t mind waiting for another child to come tomorrow to pass the time.

Chu Xiang turned her back and counted. The two children covered their mouths and laughed, "Big sister, if you can't find where we are hiding, we will let you stay with us forever."

The lights in the living room flickered, and Chu Xiang counted to one hundred. She looked back and found that the two children had disappeared.
