Chapter 9 Gentle Neighbor



“Hmm…”

The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.

The little girl's voice became softer, and she hid in the corner and said aggrievedly, "Brother Chen An didn't come to see me when he came back yesterday, and he didn't let me go tell Brother Xu..."

She said, "Tell me! During the few months you were away, did you... wuwu... did you have other sisters?"

The little girl's voice began to take on a soft, long cry, which echoed in the empty room, sounding a bit weird.

Chu Chenan looked around the empty room, not sure where Jiaojiao was hiding.

He picked up the ugly cloth doll with his slender white hands, and said to the air in front of him helplessly but tenderly: "I don't have Jiaojiao. Brother is just too tired. I want to take a nap first, and then come to play with Jiaojiao when I am energetic."

"You're lying!"

Jiaojiao was crying and couldn't hear a word.

"You've always lied to me, wuwu... You've been gone for so long and you haven't come back yet... You've left me behind!"

...

...

Then, the trash can suddenly overturned for no apparent reason.

The girl's resentful voice lingered in the room: "Wuwu, I waited for you for so long and you didn't come back... You, you just don't want to pay attention to me, you hate me... You also hate brother Xu Moshu, so you left!"

Chu Chenan held his forehead with his hand, sweat breaking out on it: "Jiaojiao, don't cry, I'm not ignoring you, I just..."

"lie!"

The girl snatched the ugly rag doll back from Chu Chenan’s hand, “If you didn’t hate us, why would you leave for so long! Wuuuuu, Brother Chenan, you don’t want us anymore, you just dislike us, wuuuu…”

"I'm going to tell Brother Xu right now!"

"I'm going to let Brother Xu lock you up again and beat you up until you cry every day like before. Humph, I won't feel sorry for you anymore."

Chu Chenan's face suddenly turned red and white.

She should be talking about the time when he was imprisoned by Xu Moshu.

The little ghost was eavesdropping?

Are those things children can listen to? !

fine.

The little kid simply understood the reason for his crying as "being beaten."

Chu Chenan then comforted her, "Jiaojiao, how could I hate you? Brother was just away for a while because of his own affairs. Look, isn't brother back now?"

The little girl's sad sobbing became fainter.

"I have never disliked you. You are the cutest sister I have ever seen. I will never hate you as a brother."

The little ghost stopped crying. After a few seconds of silence, she whispered softly, "Really?"

"Of course," Chu Chenan said, bending over to look for something in the suitcase, "I brought a gift for Jiaojiao when I came back. Jiaojiao, do you want to see your gift?"

"Well," the little girl gently put the ugly cloth doll back on the table, still not showing its human form, her proud childish voice floating in the air, "Okay then."

Chu Chenan smiled, and his bright and sparkling peach blossom eyes showed a gentle smile, as if hiding a few dazzling stars.

"This is the new doll I bought. I'm giving it to you, Jiaojiao."

Chu Chenan handed the girl doll wearing a little red hat with white curled edges towards the corner.

Suddenly, there were a few light noises coming from the empty corner of the wall. The new doll was taken away by the little girl who didn't want to show up, and was hanging in the air.

Chu Chenan: "Do you like it?"

"I like it!" The little ghost girl hugged the new doll tightly and laughed happily.

She also said: "But it's not as pretty as the dolls my brother made for me. The ones my brother made are the best looking."

Chu Chen felt warm in his heart.

He was very surprised. Jiaojiao didn't like anything else but the ugly cloth doll he made all day long.

"As long as you like it."

"Hehe." The little ghost girl carefully placed her new doll on the table and placed it side by side with the ugly cloth doll.

Chu Chenan asked: "What's wrong?"

I saw the trash can that had fallen to the ground suddenly stand up again, and the leaked garbage hung in the air little by little and returned to the trash can.

After she put the trash can in place, she spoke carefully, "Brother Chen An, I took all the trash back. Please don't hate me, okay?"

She seemed to feel guilty and regretful for her previous willfulness. Having lacked a sense of security for many years, she was extremely sensitive.

"No," Chu Chenan suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart, and he said, "Brother will never hate Jiaojiao."

Jiaojiao asked: "Brother won't leave again, right?"

Chu Chenan: "No."

Jiaojiao: "Never?"

Chu Chenan's eyes were startled. He knew it was unlikely, but at this moment he just wanted to respond: "Yes, I will never leave."

"That's good!"

Jiaojiao was still hiding and not showing up. She quietly returned to the table, picked up the new doll, and gently stroked the new doll's beautiful eyes.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Jiaojiao hid in the corner and thought of this again: "Then let me go tell Brother Xu, he will definitely be happier than me."

"No! Don't go!"

Jiaojiao: "Why not? Does Brother Chen An hate Brother Xu? Is it because he always beats you and makes you cry?"

Chu Chenan's ears turned red when he heard this.

He frowned slightly, thinking about how to prevent the kid from telling Xu Moshu.

He thought anxiously for a while.

Suddenly, he came up with an idea: "Jiaojiao, let's play a game."

"Um, games?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "Okay! I like playing games! What game should we play, Brother Chen An?"

Chu Chenan whispered to the empty wall: "How about we play a game where we pretend we don't know each other?"

"The rules of the game are, if I don't recognize you, you have to keep pretending not to recognize me. Whoever holds out the longest wins, okay?"

The little girl responded without hesitation: "Okay! I want to play! What if I win?"

"If you win, I will make ten more cotton dolls for you." Chu Chenan said softly.

"Great! I will definitely win!"

Chu Chenan squinted his eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, now the game begins."

Chu Chenan walked out of the room and saw Li Yaya, Su Yu, Zhang Liang and Xu Moshu were already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Su Yu was still shaking.

She shrank her neck, clutched Li Yaya's sleeve tightly with her hands, and kept muttering: "Eated... eaten... all dead... run... run out of here..."

Chu Chenan calmly sat down next to Zhang Liang, facing Xu Moshu.

“Let’s run away! Let’s run away from here!” Su Yu’s beautiful eyes widened. Her face was as pale as a ghost, haggard and suspicious. She had lost all her generosity and flamboyance from yesterday. She screamed sharply, “I don’t want to die! Let’s run away from here! Yaya! Yaya, let’s run away, wuwuwu!!”

She and Li Yaya were best friends from art school. They both planned to share a house here because they owed huge loans and had no money to pay the rent.

They have a very good relationship.

Li Yaya was also very scared. She comforted Su Yu and said, "Xiaoyu, calm down first..."

Su Yu frowned and shouted, "Calm down! We are almost dead! How can I calm down? If we don't run, we will still have to wait here to die! Die! We will all die!"

Su Yu held it in her mouth and began to scream suspiciously again.

Xu Moshu frowned and picked his ears, his elbows resting leisurely on the back of the sofa.

Zhang Liang's eyes were indifferent. He glanced at Chu Chen'an and turned to look at Su Yu: "Stop making trouble. Is it any use to shout? Didn't you see how Lu Cheng died? Do you want to die before he ran out like him?"

Su Yu glanced at Zhang Liang's cold eyes, trembled slightly, and shrank back behind Li Yaya, crying softly.

Chu Chenan leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded, not saying a word.

Zhang Liang turned to look at the handsome and fair-skinned boy beside him. The coldness in his eyes disappeared and he asked, "By the way, Chen An, why did I hear someone talking in your room just now?"

Chu Chenan was stunned. He didn't expect that the spearhead would be directed at him so quickly.

He raised his eyes and met Xu Moshu's scrutinizing gaze.

Chu Chenan blinked a few times in panic, his thick and long eyelashes trembling, "You must have heard it wrong, I played a song in it for a while, the song I downloaded before."

Zhang Liang nodded: "That's right."

Chu Chenan lowered his head.

Nervously feeling the dangerous gaze from the opposite side.

At this time, the broadcast on the seventh floor sounded again:

[Good morning, my tenants, how was your last sleep? 】

The male landlord's voice was full of smiles.

[You have seen the iron gate at the entrance, right? How about it? Isn’t it nice? 】

[If any of you still want to run away, you can go and try. It just so happens that your neighbors downstairs have also been hungry for a long time, so you can give them a snack, haha...]

Zhang Liang stood up and drew open the curtains, only to see that the iron gate surrounding the community outside the window was as high as a three-story building.

The male landlord's weird laughter echoed back.

[By the way, you haven’t paid your rent yet, right? 】

[Hey, I don’t keep idle people in my community. Okay, let’s play a warm-up game first. 】

[You made such a noise yesterday that the neighbor downstairs got angry, so just pick out a gift and give it to her at the door as an apology. 】

[There were exactly five gifts at the door, and she only hated one of them. 】

[You can each choose one and it will be delivered to the sixth floor at 7:30 pm. 】

[Whoever picks the one she doesn't like will have it as her dinner tonight~]

The broadcast ends.

Everyone looked at each other, and Su Yu and Li Yaya's faces turned pale.

The atmosphere began to become cold and anxious, and they slowly came to the door together.

Chu Chenan grasped the handle and opened the door.

I saw five things placed at the door:

Strawberry cake, strawberry marshmallows, a doll, a colored gemstone necklace and a toy gun.

The differences and similarities in style are obvious.

Let them all guess that the person living downstairs must be a girl.

Su Yu squeezed out of the crowd like crazy, grabbed the doll on the ground first, and hid it behind her as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it from her.

Li Yaya squatted down and immediately grabbed a piece of strawberry cake. She held the cake and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Liang glanced at Chu Chenan and Xu Moshu, then bent down and picked up the gummy candy and the colored gemstone necklace.

Just as he was about to hand the jewel necklace to Chu Chenan, Xu Moshu interrupted him.

Xu Moshu smiled and accepted the gem necklace as a matter of course: "Thank you, Zhang Liang."

Chu Chenan turned his head and looked at Xu Moshu.

What the hell is this pervert doing?

Does he need to compete with us, a disadvantaged group?

"You..." Zhang Liang glanced at Chu Chenan, hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped back a few steps, holding the strawberry candy tightly at his side, and said, "Chenan, how about I give mine to you..."

"No need." Chu Chenan still remembered today's cannon fodder mission, and he continued to accumulate strength. "I don't want to pretend."

Chu Chenan glanced at Zhang Liang coldly. He bent down and picked up the toy gun. His eyes were cold and noble. He turned around and went back to the living room.

He hesitated for a few seconds before he began to mutter, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have followed you poor rats here in the first place?"

The system prompted Chu Chenan in his mind:

[Congratulations on activating the main mission point 1]

[Cannon Fodder Daily Mission (1/1)]

[Congratulations, bonus points: X5]

In Xu Moshu's perspective, Chu Chenan was like a kitten that was abandoned by an ostracized person, with his claws bared and his fur standing on end, humming his dissatisfaction in a reserved manner.

Su Yu had no reaction to this and just tightly grasped the doll in her hand.

When it comes to death, people are selfish.

Zhang Liang sat on the chair at the dining table, silent.

Li Yaya was no exception. She sat in the corner of the sofa, holding her strawberry cake, and looked at Chu Chenan with pitiful eyes.

Chu Chenan is definitely going to die tonight.

But at this moment, he was sitting quietly in the middle of the sofa, not crying, making a fuss or fighting, and even looking at the toy gun in his hand with a little curiosity.

"The style is good," Chu Chenan narrowed his left eye, revealing his white teeth, and slightly parted his red lips, which were moist and attractive. He pursed his lips and said, "It should be a copy of the Type 95, but the magazine is from the AWM, which is really not very rigorous."

Li Yaya glanced at Chu Chenan and admired him a little.

I'm almost dying but I can still play.

Xu Moshu was sitting not far from Chu Chenan, resting his chin on his head and watching him play leisurely. gun.

Chu Chenan's hairstyle is very cute, so even if he pretends to be noble and mean, he still looks like a cute and delicate cat.

Xu Moshu swung the jewel necklace with his fingers: "Why, you're not afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Chu Chenan glanced at Xu Moshu's slender fingers and choked him harshly: "Why, can you switch with me?"

Xu Moshu stared into Chu Chenan's peach blossom eyes for two seconds, then leaned his elbows on the back of the sofa: "It's not impossible."

Chu Chenan was stunned.

Only then did I realize that I had said the wrong thing.

He snorted in a malicious manner and ran away with his toy gun. He quickly walked into his room and slammed the door shut.

Zhang Liang noticed the sound and looked at the closed door.

Chu Chenan put the gun on the table and breathed a long sigh of relief.

A girl's weak voice came from the corner: "Brother Chen An, it's okay. Did they take away your favorite gift? Don't be sad. When they deliver it to the sixth floor tonight, I will give them all to you."

"Although, although girls don't like playing with guns, as long as it's given by Brother Chen An, I like it!"

"Hush." ​​Chu Chenan said to the air, "Jiaojiao, let's speak softly, or people outside will hear us."

The girl responded softly: "Okay, brother."

Before nightfall, Su Yu snatched Li Yaya's strawberry cake twice, saying that she wanted to exchange with Li Yaya, but Li Yaya was unwilling to exchange.

Later, there were cries and quarrels, neither loud nor soft, which did not stop until the evening.

Chu Chenan was the calmest. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Jiaojiao hid in the corner and played with her two dolls quietly.

Because Chu Chen slept so soundly, he didn't even notice Xu Moshu entering his room.

Chu Chenan’s sleeping face is amazing, well-behaved and quiet.

A slender, white leg was resting on the quilt, the skin was shiny and translucent, the eyelashes were closed like butterfly wings, and even the pink fingernails were delicate and small.

Xu Moshu sat leisurely on the soft chair in front of Chu Chenan's desk, playing with the pink cat ears of his headphones with his powerful fingertips, stroking them slowly.

With his other hand, he shook the jewel necklace, and the gem beads collided with each other, making clear and crisp tinkling sounds.

Woke Chu Chenan up from his sleep.

He narrowed his eyes, his watery eyes were filled with a mist.

Then he saw Xu Moshu actually sitting on his soft chair!

Chu Chenan was startled and sat up.

Xu Moshu was sitting opposite Chu Chen, glancing sideways at the two lonely puppets in the corner.

"I didn't realize, new neighbor, you also like to play with dolls?"

Chu Chenan's heart skipped a beat with nervousness, and he clutched the bed sheet beneath him tightly.

The author has something to say:

【Small Theater】

Jiaojiao: Woohoo, I feel so sorry for Brother Chen An. He gets beaten and cries by Brother Xu every day.

Dashu: Crying after being beaten = Super crying

An An: ...
