summer rot

He said that he was going to sue his parents, which was a deliberate cruelty.

But Dong Kun said he would tell his mother, but he did what he said.

"Have you ever touched that unclean thing?" Mom sat on the sofa with a tired tone, which made Zhou Xiangxing realize that she had made her parents worry.

He stood in front of his mother without being beaten, but he really felt that he had done something wrong.But admit it at this time, how else can you save that little animal?So he had no choice but to lower his head, silently, and glanced at his schoolbag from the corner of his eye.

The little thing didn't move, it was very good.

Perhaps because she believed that her child did not have the courage, the mother did not check anything.She asked the child to do homework, and urged again: "You have to learn to be like a high-level person, don't get complacent about a little thing, and don't meddle in the low-level people's business."

Zhou Xiangxing nodded.

He doesn't know what "level" is. Like other families in the community, his family is an ordinary family. He doesn't know why his family is "higher level" than other families.

But he learned to say he knew.

Mom waved her hand and told him to go away, so he went back to his room with his schoolbag in his arms.

Sitting at the desk, Zhou Xiangxing was not paying attention to the homework.He knew that his mother would come to take a look from time to time to see if he was studying seriously, so even in his own room, he couldn't take out the little thing like a lychee openly.

But he was afraid that it would be choked.

After some debating, Zhou Xiangxing chose to quietly take it out of the compartment of the schoolbag.It's not the same as when I first saw it. This little thing is still round, and the case is a bit hard. It feels like a lychee when you pinch it.Since he couldn't feel the heartbeat and couldn't see the little thing's eyes, he couldn't be sure if the other person was still alive.

"Are you okay?" He put it on the workbook.

The little thing quickly responded—it stretched itself out, back to the size of a palm.

Zhou Xiangxing laughed, stretched out a finger to touch the other party, and soon stopped laughing.He frowned, picked up the small thing, and found that the homework book underneath was already wet, not water, but something sticky and dark red.

He leaned over to smell it, but it wasn't blood either.

"It's over."

He wiped most of it off with toilet paper, but ended up with a permanent red mark.

Zhou Xiangxing held the new pet in one hand, pointed at the homework book with the other, and said calmly, "Can you suck these things back by yourself?"

The little meatball squirmed, obviously impossible, it couldn't do it.

So what to do, there is no way to explain this to my mother.

Zhou Xiangxing put the pet down and frowned. There is this homework today, and his mother will check it, so he can't hide the book.But he can't just write on it like this, it's hard to explain why there is a lot of red on it.

He glanced at the obedient little meat ball next to him, his face was as usual, but his heart was wrinkled, and finally made his next decision.

"What's the matter?" The mother fiddled with her mobile phone, earning cash for watching short videos on it.Hearing her son's footsteps approaching, she raised her head while muttering: "I've said it many times, you have to concentrate on doing your homework, and you do everything like this, otherwise how can you become——what's wrong with your hand?!"

She stood up, walked quickly to the child, held up the bleeding left hand and looked left and right.

"When I was just picking up the book, I was accidentally scratched by a wooden thorn under the table." Zhou Xiangxing said.

"Why are you so careless? Have I said it many times, don't be frizzy when holding books, watch carefully, and take it slowly!"

When listening to the reprimand, Zhou Xiangxing rarely lost his mind once.

His hand hurts, but it's his left hand, so it won't affect him to do his homework again.He thought of the behavior of that little ball of flesh when he cut his hand just now—it moved over suddenly, licking the blood dripping on the table, which had been sluggish all the time.

So what exactly does this creature eat?

This problem has troubled Zhou Xiangxing for a long time. He checked a lot of books, and even fed a different kind of food to his secret pet every day, but the other party seemed unhappy after swallowing.

Until one day, he discovered that the other party was secretly eating the nails he cut off.

"It's dirty." Zhou Xiangxing picked up this little thing—it was delicious and delicious. After serving it for a few weeks, the creature had grown bigger and bigger, and he couldn't imagine what "Lichi" looked like when he first met it.

Hearing his disgust, the little creature chirped aggrievedly.

However, Zhou Xiangxing is not a person who spoils children. He put the other person on the ground, pointed at its forehead, and criticized: "You are ugly at first, but if you eat such dirty things, you will become even uglier."

"Jeep!"

"Don't argue!"

The little creature crawled away angrily.

But in the end, Zhou Xiangxing didn't know what it liked to eat.

As the little creature grows bigger, it grows into a secret that schoolchildren can no longer hide.From the schoolbag to the table hole to the cabinet, it was finally dragged out from under the bed by a vacuum cleaner, which shocked my mother.

Zhou Xiangxing wanted to exchange his excellent final grades, but in the end he got beaten up in exchange.

"You're going to have some advanced, normal pets," Mom said, "not this——"

This kind of low-level, disgusting stuff.

In the end, Zhou Xiangxing threw the secret pet into the trash can with his own hands. His mother watched behind him, but he didn't dare to run to release it.When he turned around, he heard the rustling sound of the trash can behind him. The little creature didn't seem to know why he did this, and wanted to crawl out to follow. He could only turn his head and push it back again.

"Stop following me." Zhou Xiangxing whispered, "Go to a better place...or wait until I grow up."

It's going to be a very, very long time when he grows up.

Two years in elementary school, three years in junior high school, three years in high school, and four years in university—Zhou Xiangxing counted, and when he turned around and saw his mother, he couldn't help crying.

"I'll give you a memory." His mother took him back and said, "Not everything can be picked up casually. You have to be a layered person. If you pick up such non-mainstream things, you will be laughed at." of."

And it lay in the trash can, chirping twice, but failed to make humans turn back.

At first, it didn't feel any different here than anywhere else.Until the next morning, when it crawled to find someone, it suddenly realized that it had been thrown away.

It's because it's so ugly.

So what should be considered "not ugly"?What kind of creature would his humans like?This thing makes it very puzzling.

So it began to continue its long groping - starting from actually becoming a creature on the earth.

Starting from an insect, it flew to Zhou Xiangxing and was swung away, so it knew that Zhou Xiangxing didn't like this appearance.

It crawled to the foot of Zhou Xiangxing, frightened the other party stiffly and called his brother to save him, so it knew that Zhou Xiangxing didn't like mice.

In the long process of figuring out what Zhou Xiangxing likes, he also knows who he doesn't like.

"See? My newly dyed hair!" The tall boy pulled Zhou Xiangxing and kept showing off, "Black!"

It doesn't like this human being, because he always pesters Zhou Xiangxing.

Zhou Xiangxing was embarrassed to throw it away, but what's there to show off when dyed black?He had no choice but to politely say, "I think your color looks good before."

Dong Kun fucked up: "I dyed it back specially for you, did you tell me it looked good before?"

Zhou Xiangxing looked at him strangely.

"I don't like it—" But he stopped when he reached the edge of his mouth. He pursed his lips, looked away, and said calmly: "Black is also very good-looking, healthy and serious."

It's something normal people should like.

It remembers.

In order to break this annoying atmosphere, it rushed over to scare the annoying person away.

But it's not enough just to keep watching. There are other human beings around Zhou Xiangxing, which makes him feel anxious.It wants to know when human beings "grow up", and how to be loved by human beings.Even if it turns into a cat, a dog, a lizard...anything that Zhou Xiangxing is willing to pet and raise.

But these are not enough.

Finally one day, it was decided.

In high school, Zhou Xiangxing saw a strange peer at the school gate after school.Short black hair, and a straight blue school uniform.She kept staring at him, staring at him without any disguise.

He walked over, thinking that the other party had something to do with him.

"You are?" Zhou Xiangxing asked.

The other party didn't answer, just looked at himself calmly.Those black eyes seemed a little unkind and terrifying, which made Zhou Xiangxing want to walk away.

But out of politeness, he still asked one more question: "Are you here to find me?"

This time the other party nodded without hesitation.

"Ah...then what do you want from me?" Zhou Xiangxing adjusted the strap of his schoolbag and continued to ask.

It shook its head again.

What a strange person!

He was not used to initiate conversations, so Zhou Xiangxing suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he asked again: "What's your name?"

Not answering.

Okay, Zhou Xiangxing decided not to chat with weird people anymore.

However, just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, the person in front of him stopped him first.

"litchi."

The sound is very weird, and the tone is also strange, like a human voice simulated by forcibly squeezing the air.Zhou Xiangxing brainstormed for a while before he realized: "Is this your name?"

The other side nodded.

"Li Zhi? Is this it?" He confirmed again.

The other party seemed to think for a while, but finally nodded.

Henceforth it had a human name—his human named it for him.Although it seems that some processing has been carried out in the middle, it doesn't care.

It has waited a long time, from the distant past, until its humans bring it home again.

And now, his human recalled.

"You are, that little meat ball?" Standing in the empty small square, Zhou Xiangxing looked a little stuttering, and he circled his hands: "Aren't you, are you only this big?"

Li Zhi looked at the small circle, it was only as big as his fist now.

He wanted to say that Zhou Xiangxing was only a little tall back then, still very thin and weak.However, he didn't let him say what little emotional intelligence he had left, but nodded.

The previous 20 years are gone.

It has become accustomed to Zhou Xiangxing's rejection.

Has it found a human favorite form?Perhaps he still has no answer to this question.

"Let's go."

It heard its own humans say so.

Li Zhi lowered his head, feeling a little sad—when will human beings grow up?After it left this time, it's unknown when it will find a skin that satisfies Zhou Xiangxing next time.

It turned around and walked away limply.

However, the next moment, Zhou Xiangxing's voice sounded again.

"It's the wrong way." He sighed and pointed to the right: "Home is here."

As the clouds passed, the moon gradually revealed its softest and brightest light.Li Zhi raised his head in a daze, and saw a silvery white moonlight dancing on its human head.

He didn't move, so Zhou Xiangxing had no choice but to speak more clearly.

"Go home, it's getting hot outside."
