☆, Chapter 153: Mind Reading
"I will be staying at home for the next six months while my grandfather recuperates, so Shu Mo will be left to my care." Ye Jibai caught up with Ye Feng in two steps and walked side by side with him.
"It's better for you to live here." Ye Feng turned and looked at him. "People over there don't like you anyway. They're afraid that your grandfather will leave all his property to you. Now that the old man is receiving treatment abroad, it will save you some trouble if you live here."
"Yeah." Ye Jibai smiled.
…
Shu Mo returned to the room and drew the previous death omen on a piece of paper.
Her drawing skills are very average, she lacks talent and can only roughly draw the key points of the death scene.
At night, on the lawn, judging from her undismembered leg, she was wearing her favorite pure white pajamas when she died...
It's not enough to just kill her, she had to be dismembered. The person who killed her must be a pervert.
Who is so crazy?
A pervert who has been eyeing her for a long time
Or was it a stranger I met due to some unexpected incident?
Is it because I moved here that I encountered
If I go back to my old home and hide for three days, can I avoid
Countless hypotheses flashed through Shu Mo's mind, and he finally rejected the risky idea of going home to hide.
According to experience, after the omen of death appears, her every move will become a butterfly effect, affecting the final outcome.
But precisely because of this, we must be more cautious.
Someone wants to kill her, probably because of the changes she's made since moving to her new home.
But it may also be because after she moved here, her original home was empty, and she left something behind and went back to get it, and was attacked.
Staying here are Ye Feng, my mother, and that familiar guy.
It's better than going back and facing it alone.
Having made up her mind, Shu Mo stretched and prepared to go back to bed for a nap.
"Little one." A person suddenly appeared hanging upside down outside the window, with half of his body hanging straight down and appearing in front of her.
"Ah..." Shu Mo was startled and screamed, taking a step back and almost knocking over the chair.
Her behavior like a frightened rabbit made Ye Jibai laugh so much that he jumped in from the window with his hands on the windowsill and said with a smile, "You are too timid. You are scared already."
"..." Shu Mo stared at him, not knowing what to say.
She felt that if she continued like this, she would be angered or frightened to death by the person in front of her before she was dismembered.
"You don't even know how to go through the door?"
"I left and your door was locked. I knocked twice but no one answered. I don't know if you are inside."
As Ye Jibai spoke, he picked up the painting she had just drawn on the table and held it up to his eyes, "You are drawing, no wonder you are so focused..."
Shu Mo sighed helplessly and went to sit on the bed.
Her action clearly showed that she wanted to take a rest. Even a dumb person could see that. She hoped that Ye Jibai would understand and she wouldn't have to order him to leave.
However, Ye Jibai was very rough. After looking at the painting, he slapped the paper back on the desk, turned his head to meet her gaze, and said with a smile, "Little greedy cat."
"..." Shu Mo was a little confused and didn't understand why this person suddenly said that.
This also reminded her of when Ye Jibai jumped out of the window, he called her...little one.
You are the little one! Your whole family is little!
She cursed him fiercely in her heart, but when she saw Ye Jibai's height growing as if he had taken drugs, she was completely speechless.
"How old are you?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Seventeen." Ye Jibai walked towards her. "A bit tall now. Isn't it because my uncle always says I'm too tall? It's just right for me to be no taller now."
really.
Ye Jibai's current height is estimated to be over 1.8 meters. Even if he doesn't grow any taller, he will still be a typical boy with very good body proportions.
However, when the person involved said it so nonchalantly, Shu Mo felt that it was a blatant show-off!
She tutted her tongue and said lightly with an expression of someone who had seen a lot of things happen, "It's not so bad. There are people in our class who are taller than you."
"You're taller than me at the age of fifteen." Ye Jibai seemed a little surprised.
This made Shu Mo feel a little better, and she emphasized, "It's taller than you."
"Then wait until school starts, and I'll take a look when I take you to school." Ye Jibai stopped in front of her.
“…”Shu Mo.
And there is no such growth maniac, she made it up. Even if there really is one, he is not in their class.
She turned her head away to hide her guilt and made a final attempt to make amends, "You don't have to send me off. I can find the way."
"Don't be polite, Dad asked me to take care of you." Ye Jibai's lips curled slightly, and he reached out and rubbed her head. "Just tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll buy it for you."
Shu Mo felt like she was about to explode, and dodged to the side, "What are you doing!"
Ye Jibai seemed startled by her action and hesitantly withdrew his hand. "Is there static electricity? Did it shock you?"
"..." Shu Mo couldn't even breathe.
"Your hair is so nice to touch, so fluffy." Ye Jibai looked at his palm and smiled at her.
"Don't you have one yourself?" As Shu Mo finished speaking, she looked up and saw Ye Jibai with short hair. She felt that her IQ had been lowered in such a short period of time.
Ye Jibai didn't know what he was thinking about. He reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "Wait, I'll buy it for you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Shu Mo didn't even have time to have an outburst.
The hair that had just grown past the shoulders was made messy by Ye Jibai's two rubs. Shu Mo smoothed it out with her hands twice, fell back on the bed, pulled up the quilt and prepared to take a nap.
Because we are moving to a new house today, my mother was a little excited last night. She went to her room and kept talking to her for half the night about what a good man Ye Feng is.
Shu Mo didn't sleep well. She was exhausted from the busy and chaotic morning and fell asleep soon after lying down.
Half asleep and half awake, she smelled the aroma of fried chicken wafting through the room, whetting her appetite.
She didn't sleep well last night and didn't eat anything this morning. She was busy all morning and was hungry now.
However, fatigue was even more powerful. Shu Mo just flared his nostrils twice and fell asleep again.
"Little one..." Someone reached out and pushed her.
"Hmm..." Shu Mo responded vaguely, and shrank her head into the quilt, not wanting to get up.
She really looks like an ostrich in this state, with messy hair from sleeping and a warm, pink face, which is so cute.
Ye Jibai usually interacts with people of his age, but they are all boys in school. This is the first time he has interacted with a girl of Shu Mo's age.
It was a bit like the feeling when his grandfather gave him the retired police dog, he got an interesting treasure.
He picked up a piece of fried chicken, held it above Shu Mo's nose, and shook it teasingly, "Don't you want to eat it? Why are you still sleeping?"
The struggling Shu Mo took two deep breaths through the tip of his nose, then suddenly opened his eyes.
"You're awake." Ye Jibai couldn't help laughing at her silly and cute look. He nuggets of fried chicken touched her lips and said, "Hurry up and eat. I just bought it. It's still hot."
"..." Shu Mo slowly sat up, and it took her a minute to get rid of a series of complex emotions such as shock and helplessness.
She threw back the quilt and got out of bed, watching Ye Jibai walk to the desk and put down a bucket of fried chicken nuggets.
He was still wearing the same casual clothes as before, but the sleeves were rolled up to his arms. There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he looked like he had just exercised.
"You just went out..." Shu Mo hesitated and paused, "to buy fried chicken."
"Yeah." Ye Jibai responded, taking out French fries and ketchup from the bucket and placing them on the table, "Don't you want to eat..."
"How do you know I want to eat?" Shu Mo was shocked.
She walked closer and looked at Ye Jibai carefully again.
Could this person have the ability to read minds?
Although this speculation is a bit bizarre, Shu Mo herself has secrets, so it is not surprising that some other people have some superpowers.
This tall and long-legged boy is not low in emotional intelligence, nor is he rough, but he is a scheming man who pretends to be a pig but eats the tiger!
"Didn't you draw it yourself?" Ye Jibai suddenly turned around, holding a piece of fried chicken in his hand and putting it to her mouth, "Open your mouth."
Shu Mo's mind was full of thoughts, and she subconsciously opened her mouth obediently.
Ye Jibai smiled and stuffed the chicken nugget into her mouth, "Bite."
Shu Mo took a bite, then reacted and reached out to push him, "Do you think I'm a puppy?"
"No, you're much cuter when you eat than Mumu." Ye Jibai threw the remaining half of the chicken nugget into his mouth and ate it in one bite.
“…” Shu Mo was stunned.
From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever eaten her leftover food.
My father has a tendency to favor boys over girls. He is not bad to her, but he doesn't dote on her either.
My mother is full of girlishness, her mind is full of love, and she neglects to care about her.
She has never been involved in any parent-child activities, such as feeding each other, taking turns eating, going to the amusement park, etc.
Feeling a little complicated, Shu Mo looked away, chewing the chicken in his mouth, and asked casually, "Who is Mumu?"
"This is the police dog my grandpa gave me." Ye Jibai picked up another piece of fried chicken. "It's very smart. I'll take you to see it someday."
The feeling just now disappeared without a trace... no, it was reduced to ashes!
Shu Mo snatched the fried chicken from his hand and took two bites angrily.
As she was eating, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Ye Jibai, "You haven't told me yet, how did you know I wanted to eat fried chicken?"
"Didn't you draw them all..." Ye Jibai reached back and picked up the paper Shu Mo had just drawn from the desk, handed it to her, and pointed at it, saying, "Fried chicken nuggets, and you even drew cumin powder and French fries. I can see you really want to eat them."
“…”Shu Mo.
She wiped her eyes and looked at it carefully again to confirm that this was indeed the death omen picture she had drawn before.
He could see the dismemberment scene as fried chicken and French fries. I didn't know whether to complain about Ye Jibai's amazing train of thought or my own amazing painting skills.
but……
Shu Mo looked up at Ye Jibai.
This person... misunderstood that she was hungry and wanted to eat fried chicken, so he ran to buy it immediately.
Although he is very outgoing and can't speak, but... he is not a bad person.
He's also... pretty good to her.
If my brother is like this, then... it's not unacceptable.
Shu Mo was still shaking her head when Ye Jibai suddenly lowered his head and put his hand on her head.
"..." Shu Mo was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"I just realized..." Ye Jibai raised his eyebrows, his voice full of unrestrained laughter, "Little guy, you're even shorter after taking off your shoes. Are those shoes you were wearing height-enhancing? Are you 1.5 meters tall now?"
“…”Shu Mo.
"You are growing up now, and shoes with height-increasing insoles are not good for your physical development. It is best not to wear them." The young man said seriously.
"I didn't!" Shu Mo yelled, her face flushing unconsciously, "You're the one wearing underwear to rub your height!"
"But now you look shorter than before..." Ye Jibai stretched out his hand again and pressed down on her head, "You look shorter than before..."
"I'm short, short, short! What do you want?" Shu Mo shouted angrily, staring at the boy who was more than a head taller than her. "Can't I be short? Is it not okay if I want to be short? Does it bother you? I'm short, I'm short, I..."
"Momo!" My mother's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Shu Mo was startled. When she looked up, she saw her mother walking in with a serious face. "How can you talk to your brother like that? When did you become so rude? Didn't you promise mom that you would get along well with your brother?"
"..." Shu Mo felt that she was more wronged than Dou E.
She was not angry at her mother for scolding her without any reason, she just felt ashamed.
She hadn't had an argument with anyone so childish since she was five years old.
Thinking back to when she had said “I’m just short” before, Shu Mo felt embarrassed.
"It's okay, Aunt Qian, we are just discussing height." Ye Jibai was calm and collected, still eating fried chicken slowly.
Qian Ruoling covered her mouth and smiled, "Momo's development is not very good. She is shorter than her peers."
"It's okay. I've been living here lately. I've been helping Momo get some nutritious meals. With a good diet, she'll grow fast." Ye Jibai wiped his oily fingertips with a piece of paper. "Don't worry, Aunt Qian."
"Ji Bai can cook?" Qian Ruoling was a little surprised.
"My grandfather taught me." Ye Jibai said, "When he was young, he was out on missions and had to do things on his own a lot of the time. He knew everything, so he taught me everything."
When mentioning this "grandfather", Qian Ruoling remembered what Ye Feng had said to her before, which was why she suddenly came to find Shu Mo.
"Ji Bai's grandfather is Mr. Tang Lintang, right?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes." Ye Jibai pulled a chair behind Qian Ruoling and said, "Aunt Qian, please sit down."
"No, Auntie isn't tired." Qian Ruoling said with a smile, "I never thought Ji Bai would be Mr. Tang's grandson. No wonder he's so outstanding and sensible."
The more Shu Mo listened, the more surprised she became.
This Tang Lin, if she remembered correctly, should be the Tang Lin she saw in the designated extracurricular reading materials.
When I was in the first grade of junior high school, the teacher assigned homework to each of us to read the biographies of several legendary figures in the city.
She chose three books at that time, one of which was Tang Lin.
A hero who has participated in many battles and made many contributions to the country still enjoys a high reputation after retirement.
With a grandfather like this, Ye Jibai can walk around S City with ease.
Shu Mo turned to look at Ye Jibai. It was hard to imagine that this thick natural black had such a background.
No wonder he can keep a police dog. He is so skilled that he could hang upside down from the second floor to scare her.
