Chapter 183 The pollen you spray... is nothing? (3)

Chu Xiang first went to the second floor and searched the rooms and cabinets there, but didn't see anyone. She had to go back to the first floor. The old light bulb in the living room could no longer hold up and went out completely. The light was much dimmer, and the vision was barely helped by the lights in other rooms and the moonlight.

Chu Xiang searched behind the sofa and other corners, but strangely, the two children were still nowhere to be found.

There was a faint noise in the kitchen, which immediately attracted her attention.

Chu Xiang moved closer to the kitchen. The more he listened to the noise, the more familiar it sounded, like a mouse eating something secretly.

She hurriedly picked up the broom, moved lightly, and tried to walk into the kitchen as quietly as possible.

The light bulb in the kitchen was also broken. There was no one in the small space. The rustling noise came from the cupboard. Chu Xiang tightly grasped the broom and walked over slowly. The moment she bent down, she quickly opened the cupboard. The moment she raised the broom high and was about to smash it down, she was stunned.

In the small cupboard, a figure was curled up.

The boy was wearing a simple shirt, whose original color could no longer be seen, and a pair of bare feet under his black trousers. He did not look small, but he was able to shrink his body tightly and force himself into this small space.

Chu Xiang's sudden appearance seemed to scare him. The half Oreo cookie in his hand fell to the ground, and a lot of cookie crumbs accumulated on his clothes, which looked a bit funny.

Chu Xiang came back to his senses, quickly took two steps back, and pointed the broom at him, "You, you, you... who are you, and why are you in my house!?"

The boy had a pale complexion, but his eyes were extremely dark, which gave him a rather strange look. The corners of his lips, which were stained with biscuit crumbs, trembled slightly, and he uttered with difficulty.

"I...I...I am not a human..."

"You are not a human, but a ghost!"

The boy blinked and said nothing.

"If you don't come out, I'll call the police!"

He slowly crawled out of the cupboard. His limbs were long and slender and he was very flexible. But he did not stand up. Instead, he picked up the biscuits that had fallen on the ground and stuffed them into his mouth.

The biscuits made a crunching sound in his mouth, as if a mouse was stealing them.

Chu Xiang was somewhat shocked again.

He actually picked up the things that fell on the ground and ate them again!

"Big sister, please don't bully him."

"He is a friend who plays with us."

The twins appeared at some point. They held hands and stood behind Chu Xiang, with smiles on their innocent faces.

Chu Xiang looked back at the boy squatting on the ground licking his fingers, and a string in his head seemed to be broken. "You said you would invite friends to play, didn't you say tomorrow?"

The twins shook their heads together.

"Big sister is fun."

“So we invited our friends to come and play.”

Chu Xiang didn't know when the twins opened the door for the boy and let him in. She guessed that it was during the time when she went upstairs to look for someone, that the two naughty kids secretly opened the door and let the boy in.

She held her breath in her heart and was no longer polite to the two children, "You two, secretly let strangers into my house, shouldn't you ask my opinion first?"

The child on the left said, "We asked if we could invite our friends to play with us."

The child on the right said: "My sister said it's okay." Chu Xiang was speechless for a moment.

She never imagined that the two children's talk of inviting friends over to play meant this moment.

A light came on in the house opposite.

The twins said happily: "Mom and Dad are back, we are going home!"

They skipped away holding hands, and the friends they always called themselves were abandoned here.

Chu Xiang shook the broom in his hand, "Hey, hurry up and give it to me——"

The young man raised his pale face, his dark eyes were misty, and he licked the biscuit crumbs on his hands clean. Only the black crumbs at the corner of his lips remained, like mud on the snow, which was particularly noticeable.

Chu Xiang couldn't bring herself to say the words to chase him away. She put down the broom and said to him, "Move away."

The boy moved to the corner, leaning against the wall, staring at her with his eyes fixed.

Chu Xiang took out a pack of instant noodles, turned on the gas stove, put down the pot, poured water, and did it all in one go.

Ten minutes later, the sound of sizzling noodles was heard in the living room.

The boy held the chopsticks with five fingers of one hand, and clumsily wrapped the noodles around the chopsticks again and again before stuffing them into his mouth. He didn't mind the heat, and occasionally a noodle fell off, and he wanted to pick it up with his other hand and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly he felt a chill coming from above. His hand that was reaching for the noodles stopped in mid-air. He raised his eyes carefully and saw Chu Xiang looking at him with a serious expression.

The boy slowly withdrew his hand, grabbed the chopsticks, and rolled the noodles more carefully, not wanting to drop any noodles.

Chu Xiang put the stool on the table, stood on it, raised his hand high and changed the light bulb.

Since she started living alone, she has developed a lot of self-reliance skills. If something can be solved with money, she would certainly like to spend money to solve it. However, it is too late now and this is not a convenient big city. She can only do it herself and have enough food and clothing.

Chu Xiang moved very carefully and finally installed the new bulb. The light flickered and suddenly became bright, blinding her eyes. She lost her balance and was about to fall when a pair of strong arms caught her body steadily.

Chu Xiang opened his eyes and met the boy's dark eyes.

He tilted his head slightly, with a dull expression on his pale face, like a fool.

Because the distance was closer, Chu Xiang found that he didn't seem that dirty. At least his skin was very white and his facial features were delicate. It was just that there was a confusion in his eyes, so he looked a little silly.

He was so thin, but he had so much strength that he could catch her.

Chu Xiang suddenly asked: "How old are you?"

He said slowly: "I don't remember."

Chu Xiang asked again: "Are you still studying? Are you in high school?"

He thought about it and said slowly: "I haven't read for a long, long time."

Chu Xiang asked the last question, "Do you still remember that you are an adult?"

The boy paused longer this time than before. He stared at Chu Xiang for a long while. There seemed to be a light flashing in his black eyes. He said: "You are an adult."

Chu Xiang immediately smiled like a flower, "Do you have a girlfriend? If not, do you want to try dating me?"

The boy had a dull expression.
