Chapter 41 "The Boy"

[Want to eat grass cake] was taken aback, his eyes filled with doubt: "Master, is there a problem? I know him."

Her hand froze in mid-air as she stared blankly at Lu Yao on the screen.

Lu Yao slowly released her fingers that had been calculating: "He's not a real child."

[Want to eat grass cake] froze, the color draining from her face instantly. "What do you mean?"

A chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to her head, and she was gripped by deep fear.

【Huh?? Not a child??】

The live chat exploded with comments.

[Let us see the grass cake too!]

The audience was extremely anxious and eager to find out what happened.

One by one, people were jumping up and down in frustration in front of their screens.

Distracted, Green Grass Cake held up her phone with trembling hands, pointing the camera at the cat's eye.

The "boy" standing outside the door instantly appeared on the screen in the live stream.

He was short, wearing a slightly childish cartoon-patterned T-shirt, loose shorts, and children's sandals.

At first glance, it definitely looks like a child... but after the streamer's comment, something feels off, a little creepy.

The audience stared at Ah Jie outside the door.

The seemingly ordinary scene carries a chilling undertone.

Lu Yao slowly began to speak: "Everyone, observe carefully. The person outside the door has a relatively large head, which is disproportionate to his body. This is because the growth of other parts of his body is slow, while the growth of his head is relatively less affected. In addition, his limbs are short, and his fingers and toes are also short and thick. Normal children have proportionate limbs, and as they grow older, the proportions of their body parts will gradually approach those of an adult. He is a dwarf, and he is actually already twenty-three years old."

Everyone looked closely again and indeed found the anomaly as Lu Yao had described, which immediately made them feel a chill.

Green Grass Cake, who was at the center of the incident, was so frightened that her teeth chattered uncontrollably and her face turned as pale as paper.

[It's not about discriminating against people with disabilities, but why would he hide his identity and pretend to be a child?]

If she hadn't pretended to be a child, would the grass cake have so easily let her guard down? Definitely not!

One viewer pointed out the key issue incisively.

The gist of the matter is that a grown man knocking on the door so late at night really scared me.

[He's just a dwarf, about the size of a child, what's there to be afraid of?]

[The person upstairs is too careless. If the other party had brought drugs or weapons and was prepared, and Grass Cake was completely unprepared, I don't even want to think about the consequences.]

"I, I absolutely will not open the door."

Green Grass Cake's voice trembled, almost tearful, and her body curled up in a ball.

Unexpectedly, her voice was caught by the people outside the door.

The knocking suddenly became more urgent and forceful. "Sister Qingqing, are you home? Why aren't you answering me?"

The voice, filled with urgency and dissatisfaction, stood out starkly in the quiet night.

The grass cake turned pale with fright and tightly closed its lips.

She didn't dare to breathe, her body trembling uncontrollably.

[Oh my god, I can tell now, his voice is so much deeper than a normal child's, and it's like he's forcing it out!]

What exactly is he trying to do...? Grass Cake, you might as well call the police!!

The viewers urged in the live chat to find some guarantee for the safety of the grass cake.

"Don't open the door! Call the police!" Lu Yao solemnly instructed. "Also, if you have the property management's contact information, call the security guards."

The grass cake nodded incessantly, like a chick pecking at rice.

With trembling hands, she dialed the police number and then searched for the property management's number in her contacts.

Lu Yao, with a solemn expression, slowly revealed the truth she had calculated:

"The couple next door are indeed his parents. They work tirelessly from dawn till dusk for their dwarf son, all to save money for his wedding. Ah Jie is already twenty-three years old and longs for a relationship, to have a wife, children, and a warm bed like a normal person."

“His parents took him back to their hometown to meet several girls, all of whom came from rural areas and had little education. His parents only wanted to collect a dowry and were eager to marry off their daughter. They didn’t care whether A-Jie was a dwarf or not. Although A-Jie himself was a dwarf, he had seen many beautiful girls in the city and looked down on those rural girls.”

"His favorite was Grass Cake, who lived next door. She was pretty and cute, a college student with a good education, and she was very kind and patient with him. She would often smile at him, so he felt that Grass Cake was also interested in him. He often fantasized about marrying Grass Cake."

Upon hearing this, Grass Cake turned ashen-faced.

She was filled with regret and secretly vowed never to show a smile to a strange man again.

A cheerful disposition attracts cheap men.

[Isn't it said that girls who smile a lot have good luck? The grass cake is so unlucky.]

Here's the thing: I politely replied to the agent's WeChat messages a few times, and he said I must have a crush on him, so he confessed to me = =

Lu Yao sighed slightly and continued, "A week ago, Green Grass Cake joined a new company. After the team dinner, her boss drove her back. A-Jie saw her getting out of the Mercedes from upstairs and felt a serious sense of crisis. He felt that if he didn't make a move, Green Grass Cake would be snatched away by another man."

"So, through some illegal means, he obtained some sedatives that could paralyze a person's limbs and render them unable to resist, intending to use them on Grass Cake. He thought that once the deed was done, Grass Cake would have no choice but to live with him..."

The grass cake was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't imagine what kind of nightmare awaited her if she opened the door tonight.

That would completely ruin her life.

[My goodness, what an ingratitude! Grass Cake almost got what it deserved...]

[I'm so scared! I need to move out of here right now after tonight!!!]

Just then, the loud knocking on the door finally stopped.

The property management staff rushed over at the urgent request of the grass cake.

The security guard, dressed in uniform, stopped Ah Jie with a stern expression.

"Young man, this is disturbing the peace and has caused serious inconvenience to the residents."

Ah Jie stared at the cat's eyes with resentment, his own eyes red, and cried out indignantly, "Sister Qingqing, why won't you see me? Why?"

His voice was filled with anger, like that of a betrayed beast.
