People’s senses will be covered, blocked, and confused by different things at night, and the fear produced is several times stronger than during the day, especially in the corridors, which are often used as filming locations in horror movies.

The sensor light flickering on and off is already weird enough, but if the footsteps appear as well, a person with a weak heart may faint.

Huang Dan had just witnessed with his own eyes a scene in which Sun Siqing seemed to be possessed by a ghost. Now he suddenly saw Lu Fei. Even though he had recognized the other person as his lover because of his butt during the day, he was still startled, his body tensed up, and his back pressed against the cold wall.

Lu Fei was neatly dressed, and his leather shoes made a dull sound when he stepped on the ground. He walked down stairs step by step, neither fast nor slow, and stood on the third floor.

The sensor light was off.

Huang Dan’s vision was affected. He remained motionless and decided to wait and see.

The voice of Lu Fei sounded in the darkness, and there was not much emotion to be heard, “Ji Shiyu, what are you doing here?”

Listening to the sound, Huang Dan felt that it was ice colder, and colder than the wall behind him. He said, “It’s too hot. I was outside to enjoy the coolness. Now I’m going to go back to sleep.”

Lu Fei said, “It’s the third floor, you’re on the fourth floor.”

Huang Dan was not surprised by the man’s good memory. He was calm, not panicked, or guilty, “I just climbed to the third floor, and stopped to take a rest.”

After a “pop” sound, a cluster of blue dark light jumped up. Lu Fei’s face was hidden behind the dark light. He chuckled with unknown meaning.

Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched as he looked at the man whose face was reflected in a blue hue.

Lu Fei pressed the lighter, took out the cigarette case with one hand and put a cigarette in his mouth. After lighting it, he took a puff and sneered, “You stay up late at night and sneak around in the corridor, and still so timid that you are scared to see a living person like this.”

Huang Dan didn’t answer. He tapped his feet on the ground a few times. After the sensor light went on, the weird feeling was alleviated. “I really only came out to enjoy the cool air and just climbed to the third floor.”

Lu Fei clicked the lighter, closed the metal lid, opened it, and closed it again. He raised his eyelids and said with a half-smile, “Oh? Really? You just climbed to the third floor, and your breathing is so steady, you weren’t panting at all.”

Huang Dan，“……”

It’s so easy for a lie to be exposed, with just one sentence.

Huang Dan didn’t show any embarrassment, nor did he forcefully explain. That would only make it funnier.

Lu Fei held a cigarette and smoked. The smoke sprayed out from his mouth and nose and drifted towards the young man. The scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes became increasingly intense.

At this moment, a slight sound came from the corridor, amplified by the silence, and appeared extremely clear.

Huang Dan left the corner and rushed into the corridor. He found that the sound was coming from 301. A cold air climbed up to his ankles, freezing his hands and feet instantly. “Old Zhang lived here, and he is dead. His son is a student living on campus and has not been back recently.”

Lu Fei said lazily, “So?”

Huang Dan frowned, “Did you hear the sound just now?”

Lu Fei didn’t answer and asked, “What sound?”

The corner of Huang Dan’s mouth twitched. He realized that the man had the experience of living abroad for many years and had a successful career, but the bad attitude in his bones was still there and could not be changed.

“The person inside is either a thief or the murderer of Old Zhang.”

Lu Fei spit out a cloud of white mist, “Does it have anything to do with you?”

Huang Dan said yes, “I live upstairs. As a neighbor, I encountered this situation and couldn’t sit idly by. Besides, a lot of things happened during this period. Old Zhang died, and a thief broke into my house. I was almost beaten to death. Liu DaYe lost his slippers at the door. It would be good for everyone to catch him and kill the chicken to scare the monkey.”

Lu Fei said oh, raised his chin and said, “Then please do it.”

Huang Dan restrained his emotions. He looked at the door and then at the man standing by, “Can you kick the door open for me?”

Lu Fei’s left hand held the elbow of his right hand, and his long legs were folded together casually. He was smoking idly, “Do you think I would do that kind of rude behavior?”

The veins on Huang Dan’s forehead throbbed.

Although he couldn’t feel pain, he also knew that his body had been seriously injured. Not to mention his head, even the wounds on his legs had not healed. Now he is very weak and has not recovered at all. It is impossible for him to kick the door open by himself.

Huang Dan would not do such a waste of effort. He was anxious and put his ear to the door. The noise inside is still there and the person hasn’t left.

Lu Fei’s brows were shrouded in wisps of smoke, “Boy, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Huang Dan understands this truth, but he has to complete the task and find out the truth for the owner of this body. The original owner has only been here for a week, and he has no enemies or grudges with anyone. He was beaten to death for no reason, which shows that the murderer is cruel by nature and must be found out.

“Kick the door open for me and leave immediately. I’ll go in alone.”

Lu Fei refused, “No.”

The sensor light went out again. Huang Dan’s lowered eyes paused. He saw a glimmer of light coming from the crack in the door of 302 in the middle. Liu DaYe has turned on the light. He must have heard some noise and woke up.

Huang Dan immediately paid attention to the sound of 301, but there was no sound at all. The person had left. He pinched his eyebrows irritably, and the next moment he quickly ran downstairs, stood on the grass and looked up.

Only Liu DaYe’s house on the third floor has light, the other two houses are completely black, closely connected with the darkness.

Huang Dan didn’t see anyone climbing down the pipe or climbing on the balcony. He shifted his gaze from the third floor and began to scan around. There was a grassy area nearby and the bushes were too short to hide people.

Wrong!

Huang Dan’s expression changed slightly. The person was still inside, and was aware of them and made no more noise. He ran into the corridor again, climbed up in three or two steps, and reached the third floor in one breath.

Running up and down like this, Huang Dan was panting, breathing rapidly, and his head was a little dizzy.

Lu Fei said curiously, “I didn’t expect that a wounded person could run as fast as a rabbit.”

Huang Dan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He suddenly grabbed the man’s arm, tightened his fingers and used strength.

The cigarette in Lu Fei’s mouth shook, and a handful of ash fell out, “Let go.”

Huang Dan called out, “Lu Fei.”

His voice was very soft, like a lover’s murmur. However, for two people who had just met for the first time during the day, this tone was very abrupt and a little too familiar.

Lu Fei frowned, but did not move away the hand that grabbed him, nor did he give any response.

Huang Dan smelled the smoke in the man’s breath in the darkness, “If you really didn’t want to care about this matter, you would have left long ago.”

Something flashed across Lu Fei’s eyes, “You’re smart.”

He put the cigarette in his mouth and threw it on the ground, raised one foot and ran it over with his leather shoe, “Get out of the way.”

Huang Dan immediately made room.

Lu Fei kicked the door open with one kick. His eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and a deep frown “川” appeared between his eyebrows.

Huang Dan looked at the side of the man’s face. His feet must be hurting and he needs to take some time to get better.

The door hit the wall and bounced a little. The sound was particularly loud in the corridor at night.

It was dark inside, like a ferocious mouth of a beast exuding a fishy smell, waiting impatiently for the two people at the door to come in.

Lu Fei pushed the door open calmly and unhurried.

Huang Dan used the light of the sensor light to take a look at the man’s butt to make sure he was not mistaken. The vigilance and alertness in his heart faded away. No matter which world he is in, everyone around him could harm him, but this man will not.

Lu Fei noticed the change in the young man’s aura. He raised his eyebrows, pushed the door wider, and walked in.

Huang Dan followed suit and quickly closed the door.

The couple next door, Liu DaYe, were very timid and would not come out to take a look when they heard such a big noise, for fear of getting into trouble. As for Sun Siqing across the door, Huang Dan was sure that he had drunk too much, but the strange behavior he performed would not be clear for a while.

The doors upstairs and downstairs are all closed. It’s not daytime now, it’s the middle of the night. Some people are sleeping so deeply that they wouldn’t react to the earthquake. Some people are light sleepers and wake up whenever there is any disturbance. Just like that, they should have already woken up.

But they are all ordinary people, and don’t have two heads or six arms, nor are they capable of flying over walls. No matter how loud the noise outside is, they can’t go out to see. Who knows what will happen.

Besides, they didn’t hear any shouting, let alone any noise.

As the door of 301 closed, deathly silence returned outside the door, and the sensor light turned on and off inexplicably.

There is no sound or light in the room, and the eyes and ears are useless. After entering, everything is unknown. Fear and tension are instantly amplified, accumulating in their entire mind.

Huang Dan walked in front at some point and blocked Lu Fei with his body. The T-shirt behind his back was grabbed. His body froze. He turned his head and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Fei said, “Go and turn on the light.”

Huang Dan’s voice was even lower, and he leaned his head towards the man, “Turn on the light, and the person will run away.”

Lu Fei frowned and turned away, and pushed the leaning head with one hand and said, “How can you find someone if you don’t turn on the light?”

Huang Dan’s head was wrapped in a single bandage, and the injury was not healed. After being pushed like that, he felt like something was shaking in his head. He said unconsciously, “Please be gentle, it hurts.”

After saying that, Huang Dan was stunned for a moment. The pain nerve was gone, but the habit was still there. He sighed in his heart, wiped away the inappropriate emotions, walked slowly to the wall, touched the wall with his hand, and touched the light switch.

There was a soft snap, and the darkness roared, screamed, and struggled for a second or two before being completely driven away, and the living room became brighter.

Huang Dan’s eyes closed uncomfortably. When he opened it again, he saw clearly that the living room was in a mess. Everything including tables, chairs, coffee tables, cabinets, etc. had been rummaged through. There was no reason for Old Zhang’s son to make his house such a mess.

Before coming in, Huang Dan heard a sound, but the sound was very subtle. To be able to make the living room chaotic to this extent, the sound produced will absolutely not be subtle. A table falling to the ground will be loud enough.

In other words, the mess in the living room was not caused just now, but was done in the period between Old Zhang’s death and tonight.

Huang Dan said, “I’m going to the bedroom.”

Lu Fei was walking slowly behind. When he saw the young man looking back, he said nonchalantly, “If you die, I will be a suspect.”

The implication is, rather than letting you overestimate your capabilities, drag me down, and cause me trouble, I will follow you.

Huang Dan said, “I won’t die.”

Lu Fei glanced at the young man’s covered head and said, “Your brain is seriously injured.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He walked into the bedroom, with the door open, everything inside came into view. The decoration was simple, and everything looked quite satisfactory.

What surprised Huang Dan was that the bedroom was very tidy and there was no trace of being turned over. This was unreasonable.

The bedroom is the place in the entire house where most of the personal information is hidden. If there are any valuables, they will be placed in the bedroom because it feels safest. This is a very common phenomenon.

The thief knew this very well. After all the trouble to get in, he could not have left the bedroom alone and ran to the living room to rummage through the cabinets.

It could only have been the murderer.

Huang Dan couldn’t figure out what the murderer was looking for. Old Zhang’s body was not found at home, but in the corridor, which was also the first murder scene. Neighbors were talking about it, and the tendency was that it was an acquaintance who took advantage of Old Zhang’s unpreparedness. Hit him on the head with something.

Could it be that the murderer killed Old Zhang just to find something?

Huang Dan was still making guesses and assumptions, but the voice above his head completely disrupted his thoughts, “It’s his son.”

He was stunned and asked the reason.

Lu Fei didn’t answer, his eyes flicking around a bit carelessly.

Huang Dan stared at the man for a few seconds, then went to check the bedroom. Old Zhang’s wife passed away, and he lived alone with his son. He took his son too seriously and too strictly.

The relationship between Old Zhang and his son was not good, and rebellious period has been extended again and again, and it has not ended yet.

Huang Dan compiled a timeline from the information given by San Ge.

The original owner’s grandmother and Lu Fei’s grandparents lived in this house for many years. The two families were old acquaintances and had an ordinary neighbor relationship. Later, Lu Fei’s grandparents immigrated, and Liu DaYe’s family moved here after that.

The old is not as good as the new. Someone sold the old house and bought a new one. The neighbors changed again and again. The original owner’s grandmother was always there, and Liu DaYe’s family also settled down.

Sun Siqing and Old Zhang moved here four years ago, while Zhou Chunlian and Li Shun only came here a year ago.

The ones who have lived here for a short time are Wang Zhi and Zhao Xiao.

The houses are stable but the population is unstable. No one knows which city these people lived in or what they did before they came here.

Huang Dan’s thoughts returned and he realized that he was in the bedroom. The man left at some point. He turned around and went out and found someone in the opposite room.

Compared to the simplicity of the bedroom, this room is much warmer. The furniture is expensive and exquisite, and a lot of thought has been put into the decoration. Every detail is based on the boy’s preferences. Old Zhang was trying to please his son.

Huang Dan went to the bookshelf and looked through it. They were all tapes, comics, and storybooks, full of childlike interest, but many of them were new, and the packaging of some had not been opened. He touched the wooden board and saw a little dust on it, “What factors affect the relationship between father and son?”

Lu Fei said, “There are too many.”

Huang Dan said, “I don’t have a father, so I can’t figure it out.”

Lu Fei turned his head. The young man had already turned his back to search, and said to himself, “The room was not searched, only the living room was searched. How strange.”

There is no trace of sadness in every word or action, as if there is no father, and to the young man, it is just one sentence or a few words, without any emotion.

Strange people, strange nights, myself is strange.

Lu Fei clicked the lighter and caught a photo in the gap with his peripheral vision. It was yellowed and half torn off. There was only a little boy and a young woman on it, and only a man was missing.

The baby’s cry came suddenly.

Huang Dan had half of his body under the bed. He was so frightened by the crying that he broke into a cold sweat. He didn’t wait long before he got out from under the bed and sat on the bed to catch his breath.

Lu Fei looked down upon him, “Can a child’s cry scare you as well?”

Huang Dan licked his dry lips. In the past few days since traveling back, he had been frightened by the baby’s cry more than once. It was fine during the day, but at night, it felt very different. He couldn’t fall asleep until cry stopped.

Lu Fei stood up straight, “Does he live in the house opposite yours?”

Huang Dan nodded, “The baby boy’s nickname is Baobao, and his big name is Li Youlin, I have not seen him yet.”

Lu Fei himself initiated the topic, and abandoned it as soon as explained, “Guess, if that person is hiding somewhere in this room, what would the other person be thinking about when we are chatting? I guess the other party is thinking, whichever one talks too much, is weak, ugly, and self-righteous, let’s beat him to death first.”

Huang Dan，“……”

He turned around and searched everywhere in the house, including the wardrobe, under the bed, cabinets, corners, and behind the curtains, but found nothing. He didn’t know how the person left.

Huang Dan said, “Just now you kicked in the door, so I’ll go downstairs to block, maybe I can block people in.”

Lu Fei commented on his idea, “It’s whimsical.”

Huang Dan resisted the urge to gag the man, “If the person is gone, then there is no point in saying anything.”

Lu Fei suddenly said, “Who said people are gone?”

Huang Dan’s scalp exploded in an instant. He took a breath and pursed his lips, “I’ve searched every corner here.”

Lu Fei said lazily, “Yeah, searched for it all, so where did the person hide?”

Huang Dan shouted in a low voice, “Lu Fei.”

Lu Fei frowned. This was not the first time his name was called. When the young man called him that, he felt strange and his ears felt itchy. He wanted to scratch it twice.

The strange and incomprehensible feeling made Lu Fei feel repelled, and he instinctively resisted things that were beyond his control. He walked towards the door without looking back, “If you want to look, just stay and look for it slowly.”

Huang Dan pulled the person back for the second time tonight, “Wait a minute.”

Lu Fei put his hands in his pockets and said, “I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Huang Dan asked, “What?”

Lu Fei squinted, “You really don’t understand, or you’re just pretending not to understand, kid. It’s illegal to break into other people’s houses without permission. You need to give an explanation to the police, the deceased’s son, and your neighbors.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Lu Fei took one hand out of his pocket and pointed at a place, “And still need to give that person an explanation.”

Huang Dan looked over and saw the photo sandwiched between the table and the wall. It was a portrait of Old Zhang.

His pupils shrank slightly. From the moment he entered the door, he had been searching by himself. The man’s attitude was casual, he was either standing by the side or leaning somewhere. He had not searched anywhere at all.

But he didn’t find the portrait, and the other party did.

Lu Fei said, “With eyes so big, they are prone to astigmatism.”

Huang Dan ignored the man’s sarcasm. He was confused, even if he had a bad relationship with his father and made a mess in the living room at home, he would not throw his father’s portrait on the ground.

Lu Fei lit a cigarette and said, “When people lose control, they can do anything. They can kill their wives and abandon their children, throw their bodies into the wilderness, kill their parents, etc.”

Huang Dan said, “I still don’t believe it.”

Lu Fei moved the hand that was holding him away, feeling disgusted. He sneered, “I heard that you just graduated. I’m very curious about how you graduated.”

Huang Dan said, “Prepare the papers, defend it, and receive the diploma. That’s it.”

Lu Fei’s face twitched, “Quite sharp-tongued.”

Huang Dan said in heart, I have to thank you for this. If it wasn’t you who helped me grow up, I wouldn’t have been so sharp-tongued.

Moving the table away, Huang Dan bent down to reach the portrait, and carefully placed it on the long table, “Zhang Shushu, I am investigating the truth behind your murder, and I entered your home without permission. I hope you don’t mind. ”

Lu Fei’s forehead twitched, “I find you really interesting. You are afraid of people but not ghosts.”

Huang Dan said, “Humans are much scarier than ghosts.”

Lu Fei was noncommittal.

Huang Dan said, “Even if what you said is right, Old Zhang’s son made a mess in the living room for some reason, then what is the sound we heard and who made those sounds?”

He was a little irritated, “You said people are still hiding here, but I have searched all the places where people can hide……”

Lu Fei interrupted and said jokingly, “You believe everything I say?”

Huang Dan was stunned, “Have you been lying to me?”

Lu Fei’s eyes became more playful, “Ji Shiyu, your naivety surprises me. Didn’t your teacher tell you not to talk to strangers? Don’t trust others easily?”

Huang Dan didn’t say anything else, he just walked around to the man and looked up, trying to see which of the man’s words were true and which were false.

“Okay, it’s late at night, do whatever you want.”

Lu Fei subconsciously didn’t want to continue. He turned around and scanned the living room. After staying for a few seconds he looked away. He silently turned the door handle, opened the door and walked out.

Huang Dan stood still, feeling uncomfortable. He looked at the portrait on the table and then at the living room, which seemed to have been attended by a group of thieves, and felt that something was wrong with it.

It’s easier to find revenge than investigate, perhaps just afraid that the other person is a pervert, the kind that kills people when the weather is bad, or has mental problems, or has been stimulated by something, or is touched by someone, so kills the person.

System said, “Xiao Di, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, retreat quickly.”

Huang Dan said, “I know.”

He walked to the door, and when he closed the door, he looked inside through the crack in the door. He felt inexplicably eerie, “San Ge, is anyone still inside?”

System, “Guess.”

Huang Dan, “I won’t guess.”

System, “Then I won’t tell you.”

Huang Dan, “If I guessed, would you tell me?”

System, “No.”

Huang Dan，“……”

System said, “Do you want to play games? It’s interesting to go through the level by yourself and fight all the way to the big BOSS.”

The mechanical sound gives people the feeling of someone who has personally experienced it, mixed with the sincere words of the elders to the younger ones, “Screen can be turned on for you, but it can’t be big. When you complete the task, I will give you many props and rewards from time to time. Come on.”

Huang Dan said, “Thank you.”

System said, “If you want to listen to a song, tell me and I’ll play 《Nunchaku》 for you.”

Huang Dan said, “I don’t like listening to that song, it’s too noisy.”

System goes silent.

Huang Dan turned on the sensor light and quickly climbed to the fourth floor. When he opened the door, he looked behind him, fearing that a figure would suddenly appear and hit him on the back of the head.

After closing the door and checking each room to make sure there was nothing abnormal, Huang Dan breathed a sigh of relief. He took a simple shower and re-bandaged the wound on his head in front of the mirror.

Not knowing the pain is bad, but it’s also good.

At least Huang Dan won’t cry in pain in this world, and he won’t be in pain during sex, so he can have no worries.

He paused, as if he had overlooked something.

In less than a minute, Huang Dan remembered that he didn’t feel any pain anymore, but if the man did, he would cry when making love, that’s for sure.

Does he want to work as a hard laborer in this world?

Huang Dan looked at the thin arms and legs of this body. They were severely lacking in exercise. The belly was just one piece, the chest was flat, and there were no hard muscles anywhere.

He shook his head in refusal, let’s wait until that day.

San Ge is so easy to talk to and well-informed, so he always has a solution.

Huang Dan went to draw the curtains before going to bed and found the man sitting on the bench downstairs. It was Lu Fei. He kept his head down, a cigarette on his lips, and the spark flickered.

It’s almost one o’clock in the morning.

Huang Dan stood at the window, holding a glass of milk in his hand, and drank it in one sip. The person on the bench finally got up and walked into the corridor.

As if he was aware of it, Lu Fei stopped and looked up. There was a window on the fourth floor that was lit.

401, Ji Shiyu. Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and entered the corridor as if nothing had happened.

The sound of quarrels broke the silence of the morning

Liu DaYe was annoyed by Liu DaNiang’s nagging, so he slammed the door and went outside to relax.

Another pair of slippers was lost at home. He left them at the door last night and forgot to take them back.

A pair of slippers is not expensive, just a few yuan, but a pair or two pairs can add up to a lot of money.

The neighbor stole it and didn’t wear it, and Liu DaYe didn’t know who did it.

Usually smile when they meet, but who the hell knows what’s going on in the heart.

No matter what to suffer, but won’t suffer any loss at all.

Liu DaYe had something on his mind. How loud was it last night? He didn’t open the door to see. He didn’t know how much alcohol Sun Siqing next door drank to make such a big noise.

There are only three households on one floor, so it can’t be coming from Old Zhang’s house across the door.

People are dead.

Liu DaYe took a cattail leaf fan in one hand and a small bamboo chair in the other, put them in a shady place, and found a small group to exercise.

Huang Dan didn’t sleep much because it was hot.

He was brushing his teeth on the balcony. When he stretched his neck, he could see Zhao Xiao’s balcony next door. The window had always been closed and had never been opened. There were several summer clothes hanging under the clothes drying rod that she had changed out of the day before.

Zhao Xiao, who was next door, came out to pull the towel on the hanger, and she suddenly turned her head.

Huang Dan was certain that at that moment, he saw vigilance and disgust in Zhao Xiao’s eyes through the glass window.

After being stunned for a moment, Huang Dan looked again, but there was no one there anymore.

Zhao Xiao is very sensitive and must have had the experience of being peeped on.

The original owner had just come here and had not done any peeping behavior. He was not interested in Zhao Xiao or other neighbors.

Who would be peeping on Zhao Xiao…..

Huang Dan was rinsing his mouth in the sink on the left side of the balcony, washing his face and looking down.

At this point, the community is very lively. People go to work, buy groceries, run, and send their children to school. Those figures are intertwined, each busy with their own business.

The younger children had short sleep time and the weather was hot. They got up early and refused to stay at home, so they were taken out by the elderly.

Meeting familiar or unfamiliar Gege, Jiejie, Didi and Meimei. The children were playing and running around, while the elderly were guarding them nervously, nagging, with a loving expression on their face.

Everything is normal.

Huang Dan took a breath of the morning air and smelled the aroma of camphor trees. The people here lived a plain and ordinary life.

The murderer is hiding inside, talking and laughing with the neighbors. Who can tell?

Huang Dan thought of the returnee upstairs and suddenly felt hungry. He looked for something to eat and rummaged through the refrigerator, planning to go to the supermarket after dark.

Today’s highest temperature is nearly 40 degrees. God is not kind and wants to burn people to death.

Huang Dan didn’t go out wandering around during the day. He originally wanted to move a chair to sit on the balcony so that he could observe people coming in and out.

But people are not as good as the sky, the sun is very poisonous, and the balcony is not suitable for people.

Around 5:30, Huang Dan saw Zhou Chunlian. She was pushing a stroller, and Liu DaNiang was beside her. The two were talking and seemed very close.

Huang Dan took his keys and wallet and went out, chasing after Zhou Chunlian and Liu DaNiang. When he was almost close, he adjusted his breathing.

Zhou Chunlian’s heart was devoted to her child, and it was Liu DaNiang who discovered Huang Dan first.

“Xiao Ji, why are you sweating profusely?”

Huang Dan said, “It’s too hot.”

Liu DaNiang said it was very hot, “It’s probably going to rain soon. It’s very stuffy.”

She pressed down the mosquito net of the stroller and said, “Chunlian, there is no wind at all today, and the heat is strong. I think you should push the baby back.”

Zhou Chunlian said, “I’ll go back in a while.”

Huang Dan approached and saw the small blanket in the mosquito net moving, “The baby didn’t sleep?”

Zhou Chunlian didn’t say anything, but Liu DaNiang said, “No, he is full and energetic.”

Probably because of proximity across generations, elderly people would get close to kids even if they are not their own grandchildren.

Liu DaNiang praised Zhou Chunlian’s child lavishly, saying that he was good-looking, had long hands and feet, and would be a great man in the future.

Huang Dan wanted to see the baby. He had been woken up by the little one every night recently, but he had not seen what he looked like yet.

“Zhou Jiejie, can I see the baby?”

Zhou Chunlian looked at a bench in front of her and said, “Let’s go sit over there.”

Huang Dan went with her.

Zhou Chunlian lifted a corner of the mosquito net, her movements gentle, “There are many mosquitoes.”

Huang Dan heard the meaning behind Zhou Chunlian’s words, “I’ll just take a look.”

Zhou Chunlian lifted the mosquito net.

Huang Dan saw the baby in the stroller. He was white and chubby, and his face was exactly the same as his father Li Shun, “The face is like Li DaGe, and the eyes are like Zhou Jiejie.”

Zhou Chunlian said with a smile, “It changes as time goes by.”

Liu DaNiang bent down to tease the baby, “Yeah, the baby looks different every day.”

“But no matter how Xiao Youlin changes, he will definitely look like you and Li Shun.”

Listening to Liu DaNiang’s voice teasing the baby, Huang Dan thought it was a bit like the sound *Chen Jinhua made when calling the pig. (* Arc 1)

Maybe the place is different.

Liu DaNiang had so much fun teasing the baby that her wrinkled eyes turned into slits with laughter.

The baby was laughing too, and took out his chubby hand from the thin blanket.

Liu DaNiang was about to touch him, but Zhou Chunlian had already put down the mosquito net.

Huang Dan noticed that Zhou Chunlian didn’t like Liu DaNiang teasing her child, staring at her mouth when she spoke with disgust in her eyes, as if she was worried that the saliva would spray on the child’s face and body, and wouldn’t let her touch.

Zhou Chunlian also didn’t like him looking at the child, and didn’t like anyone else.

Postpartum depression?

Huang Dan sat at the end of the bench, deep in thought.

Liu DaNiang is old but her heart is not old. “Chunlian, the child should be raised coarsely. Paying close attention to every detail, raising gently and cautiously and always carrying a pearl in your heart will make you feel uncomfortable, then the child will also feel uncomfortable, and will get sick easily.”

Zhou Chunlian said, “He is still young.”

Liu DaNiang also knew that it was not her biological grandson and people would be unhappy if she talked too much, so she said bye and went shopping.

Huang Dan leaned back on the chair and said, “Zhou Jiejie, you are alone and it is extremely tiring to take care of a child, right? Why don’t you invite someone?”

Zhou Chunlian was very busy. She put anti-mosquito stickers on the outside of the stroller, sprayed Baby Gold Water, and looked at the baby from time to time.

“It’s better to raise by myself than let someone else.”

She sighed, “If the child has a headache and fever, I will regret it to death.”

Huang Dan’s brows moved slightly. Isn’t headache and fever a common phenomenon? He said, “It’s too, but it’s just tiring.”

Zhou Chunlian smiled and said, “What’s not tiring? Besides, it’s natural to take care of my own children.”

Huang Dan looked at the middle-aged woman. She was very charming, but she was too nervous about the child.

He had seen other people getting along with their children, and no one was like Zhou Chunlian.

“Li DaGe can help you when he comes back from work.”

Zhou Chunlian chuckled, “Him?”

“Men don’t understand the pain and expectation of a woman’s ten-month pregnancy. They think that when a woman gives birth to a child, she just lays an egg. It’s very easy. It’s the same about raising children, and they feel that it is far less tiring than a job. Talking about these things won’t lead to any results, and I don’t want to talk about them. I don’t expect him to help me, as long as he doesn’t cause any trouble for me.”

When Huang Dan saw Zhou Chunlian speaking, there was no trace of resentment on her face. She really took over everything about the child.

Perhaps even if Li Shun wants to help with something, she won’t be willing.

The more one looks at it, the more it looks like depression.

The baby’s cry brought Huang Dan back to his senses. He saw Zhou Chunlian holding the sides of the stroller, gently pushing it back and forth, and coaxing softly, “Baby, don’t cry.”

Huang Dan felt tenderness and love from Zhou Chunlian for child. She only had her son in her eyes for her children.

Zhou Chunlian tried to coax to no avail, she looked a little anxious.

Huang Dan asked, “What happened to the baby? Was he bitten by a mosquito?”

Zhou Chunlian said he was hungry, so she pushed the stroller back and walked quickly.

Huang Dan wondered, didn’t he come out after having enough?

After testing her like this, he still didn’t take Zhou Chunlian out of the list of suspects. He just changed her position and put it at the bottom.

If a person has love in his heart, he will not behave cruelly.

Huang Dan climbed to the top floor and went to Wang Zhi’s place.

Wang Zhi was checking out with the courier. When he saw that it was Huang Dan, he let him do whatever he wanted without worrying that his things would be secretly taken away.

Huang Dan helped Wang Zhi take two orders.

Wang Zhi sent the courier away and gave Huang Dan a box of yogurt. When asked about the returnee, he clicked his tongue twice, with an expression on his face that he had discovered a new world.

“Ji Shiyu, you are very interested in the returnee next door to me. Whenever you come to my place every three days, you always mention him, and you even stick your head out to look, say, do you want to get acquainted with him or get some connections from him?”

This is a very realistic idea. Everything has a reason. Asking about someone or something for no reason will make people suspicious.

Huang Dan took advantage of the situation and said, “The economy is in a recession and jobs are hard to find.”

Wang Zhi patted him on the shoulder with loyalty, “It’s hard to find a job. Dude, I haven’t made this store on the crown yet, and when it gets bigger, if you want, you can work with me.”

“Right now, Bro is full of ambition but not strong enough. Let’s do this. I’ll let you know as soon as the returnee comes back.”

Huang Dan said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

Wang Zhi said not troublesome, not troublesome. He chuckled and said, “When you find a job, remember to treat me.”

Huang Dan said no problem.

Wang Zhi nibbled a nectarine and finished it in two or three bites, “The returnee went out at noon, carrying a briefcase, and will come back very late.”

Huang Dan was stunned. He was taking a nap at noon.

Wang Zhi’s voice was vague, “Don’t worry, he will come back sooner or later. The luggage is still there and he can’t leave it behind.”

Huang Dan glanced at him and said, “You paid very close attention toward returnee.”

Wang Zhi bared his teeth and said, “There is nothing I can do. When I get up, the door will be opened and closed only when I go to bed. It’s just me and him on the top floor. It’s hard to even see him.”

He remembered something, “By the way, there was a lot of noise downstairs last night. I was woken up and didn’t sleep much for the rest of the night.”

Huang Dan said, “Really? I was sleeping deeply and didn’t hear.”

Wang Zhi shook his head, “I really envy you.”

“Look at me, in order to improve the business of my online store, I set up product keywords every day. My sleep quality is very poor, and my hair is almost falling out.”

Huang Dan said, “Don’t you sell anti-hair loss products?”

Wang Zhi’s face twisted, “That’s fake.”

Huang Dan，“……”

After dark, Huang Dan left Wang Zhi’s place and found Sun Siqing at the food stall on the street behind the community.

Sun Siqing didn’t bring enough money and got into trouble with the stall lady.

Huang Dan paid the remaining money for him.

Sun Siqing stared for a while and said, “It’s you, Xiao Ji.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s me.”

Sun Siqing said, “You kids all look the same. For a moment just now, I thought it was……”

His words stopped abruptly.

For some reason, Huang Dan felt that Sun Siqing was talking about Old Zhang’s son.

Sun Siqing bit off the beer bottle with his teeth and handed the bottle to Huang Dan, “Take it.”

Huang Dan shook his head, “I don’t drink.”

Sun Siqing smacked his lips, “This is iced. It’s comfortable to drink.”

Huang Dan said, “I really don’t drink.”

Sun Siqing’s face changed at every turn, “Xiao Ji, you look down on Sun Shushu, right? Sun Shushu is bankrupt, but he can still afford a bottle of beer.”

Huang Dan called Sun Siqing Sun Boss originally, but Sun Shushu obviously shortened the distance. He reached out to take the bottle of beer, “I didn’t mean that.”

Sun Siqing’s face softened a little when he saw the young man accept the offer. He stuffed half a bottle of beer in his stomach in a muffled voice, and then started chatting about one thing after another.

No one is more suitable to be an audience than Huang Dan.

He doesn’t talk much and responds with a few words at the right time without disrupting the flow of the person talking.

After a few bottles of beer, there were empty bottles at Sun Siqing’s feet. He was obviously not having enough fun, and he had no money in his pocket. His face was irritable and his eyes were red.

Huang Dan didn’t wait for Sun Siqing to say anything, and bought a dozen bottles.

Sun Siqing said, “Shushu is a little tight on money. Once I have accumulated the money, I will take you to eat crayfish.”

Huang Dan bought two cans. He opened one of them and threw the ring-pull into the trash can, “Okay.”

Sun Siqing laughed. He was not lacking, but he was too dejected after his status declined, and was slovenly in dress and manners as well. He had to live for today and not worry about tomorrow. If he tidied up, he would be a handsome DaShu.

After drinking, Huang Dan felt that Sun Siqing’s conversation topic became more casual, which was exactly what he wanted.

“Xiao Ji, there’s something strange happening recently. Every once in a while, there are more slippers in my house, and the door is always open. I don’t know who is full of himself and has nothing important to do.”

When Sun Siqing said this, he chuckled, and the dim light from the supermarket opposite covered his face. He was excited, “But except for one pair of large sizes, the other slippers are all sizes I can wear. I won’t have to buy slippers for a few years.”

That tone sounded like he was taking some advantage.

Huang Dan said in his heart, didn’t you wear it yourself and go back? I saw it all, “Sun Shushu, could it be that you drank too much? And put someone else’s slippers back on? But you don’t remember it anymore?”

He made it up, “I have a friend who loves to drink just like you. One time, he drank so much and couldn’t remember what he had done and had no impression.”

Sun Siqing said it was impossible, “Maybe I drank too much and forgot to close the door, but the slippers are definitely not mine.”

“One night, I heard footsteps outside the door, like the sound of footwears being thrown out, picked up, and thrown out. I opened the door to look, and there was a pair of slippers at the door.”

Huang Dan was furious as soon as heard it. So uncanny and abnormal.

If it were him, he would quit drinking, move, call the police, whatever it was, but he wouldn’t turn a blind eye

But the person involved did not. People who are addicted to alcohol do not feel afraid, and it doesn’t matter if they kill someone.
