Chapter 150 The Dangerous Man in Black
"I, I understand."
Seeing that Lu Yinghan didn't say anything, Zhu Xiyue gritted her teeth and continued her words.
Lu Yinghan was right. I should not talk nonsense anymore. If I continue to talk nonsense after I go out, I will definitely get into trouble.
"I understand. You can wash up and rest now."
Lu Yinghan said to Zhu Xiyue in a cold voice.
After saying that, she left the living room and went back to her room to wash up.
Zhu Xiyue was left alone in the living room, not daring to move. It was not right to leave, nor was it right to stay.
In the end, she got up carefully and walked towards the bathroom without moving too much.
I worked slowly until late at night before returning to the bedroom.
When Zhu Xiyue woke up the next day, Lu Yinghan's room door was open, but she was gone.
What are you doing out there again?
Zhu Xiyue was wearing another set of Lu Yinghan's pajamas and standing in the living room in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Just when she was still in a daze, there was another knock on the door, which brought Zhu Xiyue back to her senses.
She walked to the peephole at the door and looked out.
The little boy's curly head appeared again through the cat's eye.
Zhu Xiyue felt relieved and opened the door for him.
"Good morning, sister."
Because she was short, Zhu Xiyue didn't see everything through the peephole. Now after opening the door, she saw the little boy coming to her with a big schoolbag in both hands.
"Hey, you...good morning."
Zhu Xiyue's mind was still confused, and she replied "Good morning" to the little boy.
The little boy smiled at Zhu Xiyue, then came in carrying his schoolbag.
"Ah, what's the matter with you coming here with your schoolbag?"
After everyone sat down in the living room and took out a pile of homework, Zhu Xiyue finally reacted.
The little boy turned around and explained to Zhu Xiyue word by word seriously.
"My mother has to go to work today and can't help me with my homework, so she asked me to come to my sister's place."
Apparently he was a regular customer, so Zhu Xiyue walked over curiously to see what kind of homework he did.
"Sister, don't peek."
Feeling Zhu Xiyue's gaze, the little boy covered his homework book with his hands, although he couldn't cover much.
“Hahahahaha, fine, I won’t watch it.”
Zhu Xiyue looked at his other exercise books, which were wrapped in book covers and had their names taped on the lower left corner.
"Yang Eryi?"
"Hmm? What?"
Yang Eryi, who was suddenly called by his name, looked up at Zhu Xiyue.
"Nothing, I just think your name is very unique."
"Yeah, I think so too. My mom got it right! When I introduce myself, I say, 'Hello everyone, my name is Yang Eryi. Er is the two of one two, and Yi is the one of one two.' See, do you remember me right away?"
Yang Eryi smiled brightly. Although this little boy came from a divorced family, he was well brought up by his mother.
No matter who he meets, he always smiles brightly, with a warm smile that heals everyone's broken hearts.
Among those who were cured was Zhu Xiyue.
Her heart was touched, and looking at Yang Eryi's smile, she suddenly felt that she had to work harder and was full of motivation.
And the degree of liking for Yang Eryi increased sharply.
Who would refuse such a well-behaved and cute child?
The loving mother sat next to Yang Eryi with a smile on her face, occasionally helping him with his homework.
Zhu Xiyue was extremely satisfied.
It turns out that other people’s children are so lovable.
Time passed by minute by minute. By noon, Lu Yinghan still hadn't come back. It seemed that she could only find some food in the refrigerator herself.
While Yang Eryi was doing his homework, Zhu Xiyue went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and saw if there was anything to eat.
Just as she stood up and was about to walk over, she suddenly saw a person standing under the street light downstairs through the living room window.
It was not clear from the corner of her eye, so Zhu Xiyue turned her head to look over.
A man dressed in black, wearing a black hat and a black mask, stood next to the street lamp downstairs.
None of this matters.
Because the man was looking straight towards the fourth floor, which was the direction of his own floor.
A chill and fear from the bottom of her heart rushed directly through her whole body.
The violent beating of the heart could be felt even from outside.
Zhu Xiyue felt a surge of fear and uneasiness in her heart.
Just looked at each other.
She stepped back directly, not allowing herself any more eye contact.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Eryi looked at Zhu Xiyue's big movements and thought there was something new downstairs. He stood up curiously and looked out the window.
“Don’t look!”
Zhu Xiyue's intuition told her that she must not let Yang Eryi look into the eyes of this man.
Pulling Yang Eryi back to the living room, Zhu Xiyue's palms were covered in cold sweat.
Yang Er blinked his eyes, still not understanding what was happening.
"Just do your homework, understand?"
"But what did you just see, sister? I want to see it too!"
Being at an age of curiosity and competitiveness, Yang Eryi poked his head out and wanted to look outside.
"Nothing, sister just saw a big wasp and got scared."
Yang Eryi glanced at Zhu Xiyue, his face full of contempt for coaxing a child.
"I did my homework."
Zhu Xiyue felt relieved when she saw that he was not interested in what was outside the window.
For so many years, I have been influenced by my own mother.
Zhu Xiyue is unusually sensitive when facing danger and has bad premonitions.
But the feeling of fear as strong as just now was unprecedented.
She had to take this to heart.
"Wait for Lu Yinghan to come back and tell me."
Muttering to herself, she walked towards the living room holding two plates of cooked frozen dumplings in her hands.
Yang Eryi was lying by the window...
"Yang Eryi?!"
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly put down the dumplings in my hand and walked to the window, my heart pounding.
The image of the man in black just now appeared in her mind again.
The feeling of fear directly filled Zhu Xiyue's heart.
But she still stepped forward without hesitation and pulled Yang Eryi over.
"Sister, where's the wasp? I don't see anything."
Zhu Xiyue looked downstairs carefully, but there was no man near the street light.
"ah……"
With a long sigh, Zhu Xiyue finally let go of the worry in her heart.
"It's okay, the wasp has flown away, let's have lunch."
Yang Eryi didn't hesitate to sit down at the dining table and eat heartily.
But Zhu Xiyue had no appetite at all because of this man.
The poor appetite continued until Lu Yinghan came back in the evening.
Zhu Xiyue sat obediently in the living room, waiting for her to come back.
It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Lu Yinghan slowly climbed the stairs and returned home. Today was the day to train with Brother Hongyang, and Lu Yinghan was particularly tired.
"Huh? Why haven't you washed up yet?"
I thought Zhu Xiyue would fall asleep first, but the lights in the living room were still on.
"Um, Lu Yinghan, I have something to tell you."
