This made Liang Siyu wonder if she was hallucinating.
But when she pressed her ear against the door of her parents' bedroom again, the sounds inside became even clearer.
It doesn't seem like a hallucination.
Could it be that a mouse has run into Mom and Dad's room?
This definitely needs to be addressed quickly, since rats carry viruses and bacteria, and getting bitten could be very dangerous.
Thinking of this, Liang Siyu dared not hesitate any longer and quickly raised her hand to knock on her parents' bedroom door.
After knocking twice, the strange "click-clack" sound from inside the house suddenly stopped.
She guessed that the mouse had heard the noise outside the door and dared not move anymore; perhaps it was still cautiously watching the doorway.
But we don't know where it will be crouching.
It might be on the windowsill, on top of the wardrobe, or even crouching on your parents' bed!
The thought of that last possibility sent chills down Liang Siyu's spine!
Regardless of whether continuing to knock on the door would disturb his parents' sleep, he had to get rid of the things in the house as soon as possible.
After she kept knocking on the door, she finally heard her parents' voices inside.
It was Liang Siyu's father who opened the door. The moment he opened the door, Liang Siyu thought her father would ask her why she was knocking, but he didn't say anything and just looked at her silently.
At the time, Liang Siyu didn't think much of it because she was still concerned about the strange noises coming from her parents' room, so she quickly asked.
"Dad, is there a mouse in your room? There have been strange noises. Let's find the mouse first."
As she spoke, Liang Siyu's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the room behind her father.
Unfortunately, the room was dark, and she could only see a figure sitting on the edge of her parents' bed through the light from outside the window.
Judging from the figure, it should be her mother.
However, her mother just sat there, without saying a word or making any movement, like a statue.
It did look a bit strange, but Liang Siyu didn't think much of it, assuming that her mother had just been woken up and wasn't fully awake yet.
Her father, however, remained unresponsive after she said those words.
Liang Siyu frowned and couldn't help but speak again.
"Dad, why aren't you saying anything?"
Mr. Liang finally reacted, his lips moved slightly.
Just when Liang Siyu thought he was about to speak, she noticed that her father's mouth was moving up and down, but he wasn't speaking. Instead, it seemed like he was savoring something.
Savoring the taste?
Did her dad just eat something?
Liang Siyu became increasingly puzzled.
Fortunately, after savoring the taste, Mr. Liang finally spoke.
He said, "There are no mice in our house, go back to sleep."
Liang Siyu, however, did not believe it.
"But there were strange noises coming from your room just now, Dad. Didn't you hear them? I heard them in my room too. You'd better take a good look; rats carry a lot of viruses, it's not safe..."
She tried to persuade him further, but Mr. Liang interrupted her directly.
"I said no, and that's final!"
Although Mr. Liang's tone wasn't particularly fierce, it was still more stern than usual.
Liang Siyu was caught off guard and startled, while also feeling very wronged.
She was clearly thinking about her parents' safety and health, but her father still spoke to her in that tone.
It seemed like he didn't care about her feelings at all.
Liang Siyu was a little angry at the time, but seeing her father's cold tone, she didn't say anything more and turned around to go back to her room.
Because she was angry and felt wronged, she couldn't fall asleep after lying in bed.
It took her a while to calm herself down. She realized that her father might have been in a bad mood because she had woken him up suddenly, which was why he hadn't been able to control his tone.
Thinking about how hard my parents work every day, this is the time when they are sleeping the most soundly, and being woken up like this by her, they might indeed be a little unhappy.
After thinking it over, Liang Siyu wasn't so angry anymore.
It was that strange noise from my parents' room...
Her dad said no, could it be that she really misheard?
Just as she began to doubt herself, she heard that kind of noise coming from the next room again.
Having witnessed her father's attitude and response, Liang Siyu naturally dared not go and knock on the door again.
She listened patiently for a while, then covered her ears to try it out, and found that the sound would become quieter as she covered her ears.
So this sound couldn't be her hallucination, right?
Why did her father say he didn't hear it?
After thinking for a moment, Liang Siyu immediately turned on the recording function on her phone.
She plans to record the sound and then play it for her parents in the morning or after get off work tonight.
In that case, they should believe that there really are strange noises in their room.
With a temporary solution in hand, Liang Siyu felt much more at ease.
After the recording ended, Liang Siyu listened to it again.
Only after confirming that the strange noise could be clearly heard in the recording did she finally feel at ease and fall asleep.
However, as expected, Liang Siyu woke up late in the morning. She must have woken up in the middle of the night and was delayed for an hour, so she didn't get enough sleep.
Therefore, she didn't have time to go to the store to let her parents listen to the recording; she could only do so after she got off work in the evening.
She didn't know if it was because she didn't sleep well last night, but she felt drowsy and not in good spirits at work during the day.
Finally, it was time to get off work. Liang Siyu was worried about the strange noises coming from her parents' room, so she hurried home.
She usually gets home around 7 p.m., while her parents start eating dinner around 5 p.m. because they need to go to bed early.
But we'll set aside a separate portion for her when the food is ready, so she can just steam it and eat it after she gets off work.
When Liang Siyu usually eats, her parents sit beside her and chat about everyday things.
As usual, Liang Siyu went home and heated up the rice in the steamer herself.
While waiting, I saw my parents sitting on the sofa, one watching TV and the other looking at their phone.
She quickly found the audio she had recorded the night before and told her parents.
"Dad, Mom, there really were strange noises coming from your room last night. You can listen to them; I recorded them!"
Before her parents could react, Liang Siyu immediately pressed play to start the audio.
Her parents looked over when they heard the noise, seemingly wanting to say something, but Liang Siyu's attention was completely drawn to the recording in her hand, and as the recording played, her expression became increasingly strange.
She discovered that the audio had worked fine when she listened to it last night, but now, she couldn't hear anything she wanted to hear; all she could hear was the natural white noise from the recording.
The strange "click-clack" sound disappeared completely, as if it had been deliberately altered!
impossible!
