Chapter 44 - Strange Child
Yugi walked out of the bedroom inside and asked us what happened.
Wen Na said with a deep expression: "I think something is wrong here, but I can't say it for a while... Be careful with everything."
"who!"
The curtains were moved without wind, and the fog immediately noticed them and opened them.
"Why are you here?" It turned out that little boy just outside the window, this is the second floor!
The little boy stood on the window ridge, holding the window frame with his chubby hands, revealing a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Get down quickly, how dangerous these two floors are!" I walked over and prepared to carry him in, but was stopped by Xiwu.
"How did you climb up?" Xiwu asked him.
The child shook his head left and right, with an innocent expression. He pointed out the window and said, "Here, I came up from the ladder."
I leaned over and looked, and there was indeed a ladder under the window.
"If you leave the good door, you have to do such a dangerous thing. Be careful that your dad will slap you in a while!" I scared the child. He stuck out his tongue, and flicked into the window very quickly, walked straight towards Wen Na, pierced his head into Wen Na's belly, and hugged Wen Na.
"I just want to see a beautiful sister."
"Then isn't this sister beautiful?" I pointed at Xiwu and teased him.
The little boy looked at Xiwu and hid behind Wen Na and said angrily: "This sister looks so fierce..."
"Hahahaha, I saw Wu Xiwu, it wasn't me that such a young furry child thought you were fierce when he saw you, so you should reflect on it~"
"Get out." Yugi elbowed me and turned around and entered the bedroom.
"Let's go, it's time to have a meal!" The little boy patted Wen Na's buttocks and urged me. This action caught me off guard.
"Hey hey, there is a difference between men and women, you can't pat girls on the butt!" I quickly stopped him, but he avoided him.
"Let's go Xiwu, the kids ask us to have a meal." I went to greet Xiwu, but she walked over angrily and smashed the door hard. "You guys eat, don't worry about me!"
"Why did you make my sister angry again..." Chaoyang's expression was a little helpless.
We followed the boy around the yard and finally stopped in front of a two-story building, "This is our reception!"
From the outside, this two-story building is ordinary and square, but the walls are painted white. After entering, I found that the decoration inside is very unique. Wherever my feet can step on, there are thick carpets, the walls of the corridor are decorated with mirrors, and there are also mirror decorations on the top of my head. I felt a little dizzy when I looked at the way we looked reflected on each mirror.
The little boy pushed open a double door, and there was an office desk inside, with several thick books on the table, and two small flags on the corner of the table.
"It seems that he has gone to the restaurant! Come with me!"
The little boy walked in front and jumped to lead the way, looking very happy.
As soon as the restaurant door opened, the first thing I saw was a huge round table. The man with a beard was sitting upright on the throne of the round table, as if waiting for us.
"How many people eat every day for such a big table?" I asked, "This table can sit at least twenty or thirty people. Will the people we see in the yard during the day have dinner with us at night?"
"It's just a few of us who have dinner. I'm going to sit next to my sister!"
The little boy pulled Wen Na to the chair next to the man and sat down. Chaoyang and I followed suit and sat down next to Wen Na.
"Don't those people eat with us?" I asked. No one replied to me.
The man didn't say anything, and didn't even move his head, and he looked like a puppet, which made me feel very unnatural.
"Select the food!" The little boy clapped his hands, and someone came in with a plate outside, and dish after dish, filling the big table with a full set.
"Uh...don't mess with that much, we're only a few of us, we can't eat and waste it..."
"Don't waste, don't waste, sister eat more!" The little boy stood on the stool and picked up food for Wen Na. I haven't seen such exquisite food for a long time. During this period, we can't eat it every day. Every dish here is full of color, fragrance and flavor. I want to eat it all, but because of the man like a puppet, I had to pretend to be reserved and taste it in small mouths.
"Sorry... Can I pack some?" I thought of Yugi, who was still sulking, and wanted to pretend to take it back for her.
The man, like a puppet, finally moved. He looked at the little boy, looked at me again, and nodded finally.
So I picked up a little of each of the dishes that looked delicious and hadn't moved much, and kept it for Xiwu.
After drinking and eating, the man left first. The little boy asked us if we wanted to go or not. I wanted to go, but seeing that Wen Na looked very haggard, she refused. So we each returned to our room to prepare for a rest.
I brought the packaged meal and gently knocked on Xiwu's door, "Are you still angry? I brought you some food... Open the door quickly, Miss..."
I thought at least I had to knock on it for a while before Xiwu could calm down, but the door was suddenly opened and an arm stretched out from it and pulled me in!
"I know what the problem is!" Xiwu pressed me against the door and said softly in my ear. The heat she exhaled made me feel numb...
"What's the problem..." I blushed...
"There's something wrong with that little boy!"
Xiwu also felt my change and let me go with a red face. "I didn't notice it at all when he came up the ladder just now!"
"Maybe you didn't pay attention...what can a child have any problems?"
"I can't have been unaware of it...unless he has received special training...and don't you think his reaction to Winna is weird?"
"Why is it strange? You are not jealous of a child... Just because he thinks Wenna is gentler than you, you are jealous...?"
"Idiot! I won't tell you anymore!" Xiwu acted as if she wanted to hit me again.
"ah!"
A scream cut through the night sky!
It's Wenna's voice!
Xiwu and I stopped arguing, and rushed out to see Wen Na's situation together.
Wenna was just taking a shower, and at this time she was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking horrified, with a layer of water vapor covering the mirror, with traces of being wiped by straw.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone..."
"What's wrong with someone?" Xigu walked two steps into the bathroom, looked carefully at the window, closed tightly, and saw no signs of invasion.
"I felt someone touched me in front of me..."
"Touched you?"
"Yes...and, it seems to be that little boy!"
That kid?
"Did he make a shadow for you today?" I asked. "This bathroom is so small that he can't hide..."
"No." Wenna was serious.
"That's really a child's hand."
"Why do you think there is something wrong with that child... are you too nervous?" I don't understand.
I thought it was just this naughty kid who was playing a prank, but the tragic result told me that the naive person is actually me, and things are far more complicated than I thought...
Could it be that the child’s father wanted to kick us out so he did something to scare us away...? I’m going to ask clearly now!
I left the unit door, found the two-story building based on my memory, and found the room with my desk. I pushed open the door. The man was sitting behind the table with his back facing the door.
"What are you doing? If you don't want us to come in and hate us, we will leave tomorrow morning. Don't use such despicable means to scare people!" I asked angrily.
The man's chair slowly turned over, and I saw his tears flowing freely on his expressionless face, but he spoke in a cold tone.
"But you can't get out anymore."
