Chapter 029 Cannibalization-3
"Do you want to be my friend?"
The other party said it again, his eyes shining brightly.
Jiang Yan paused and said, "But I don't know your name yet."
"Don't know." The other party murmured, seeming a little disappointed.
Jiang Yan pursed his lips. The white-haired boy described by Wang Xu did not scare him. Instead, he felt some sympathy.
"My name is Jiang Yan, and salt means salty." Jiang Yan opened his mouth, "Tell me your name, and we can be considered friends."
At this moment, the sky was covered with some dark clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain. Jiang Yan glanced around and saw that it must be windy. The wind blew the surrounding trees left and right, and the cats and dogs in the residential buildings screamed because of the loud noise caused by the wind.
Strangely, Jiang Yan didn't feel too cold at the street vent. Was it because his health had improved?
This should be cause for celebration, but it is also somewhat doubtful.
However, what he didn't know was that there were already several layers of spider webs wrapped around him, only a few centimeters away from his body. If he moved even the slightest, his clothes would be stuck with a layer of white spider webs.
——Jiang Yan stood in the center of the spider web, as if he would be devoured by the huge spider web in the next second.
"My name is—" The person who spoke paused for a moment, like a child submitting an oral assignment, thinking it over again in his mind, and then said, "My name is Mengtang, the candy that eats candy."
"Eat candy? It's the 'tang' in pond, right?" Jiang Yan corrected subconsciously, and he was confused after saying this.
Hey, why did the other person's name automatically pop up in his mind, and it was the accurate word "Mengtang". He shouldn't know this person.
At this moment, something flashed through my head.
He remembered that the snake man in his "dream" was also called Mengtang.
Is it a coincidence?
Jiang Yan looked at the face in front of him, which was completely different from the one in his dream, and finally rejected it in his heart.
"So are we friends now?" Meng Tang seemed to not care what his name was. He just kept asking the same question, as if this was his fundamental purpose.
Jiang Yan nodded, and at the same time, he saw the light in the other person's eyes became brighter.
Are you so happy?
That expression is brighter than "the person you secretly love accepts your confession and agrees to be together."
"Then can I ask why you want to be friends with me?" Jiang Yan still threw out the doubts in his heart.
Meng Tang exclaimed "Ah", seeming to be stumped by this question.
In fact, you don’t need so many reasons to make friends.
Jiang Yan wanted to say "forget it", but the other party stumbled first and said, "Because, because you have a motherly feeling, which makes me... makes me feel very warm."
……ah?
This time it was Jiang Yan who was stumped by the answer.
Meng Tang stared at Jiang Yan's drastic expression changes and asked nervously, "Is there something wrong?"
Did he answer wrong?
He originally wanted to say something like "I like you", but he was afraid of scaring the other person.
After becoming a human, he taught himself a lot, so he vaguely realized that expressing love should involve a long preparation, and being too direct would scare the other person.
So Spider-Man racked his brains to think of several reasons, and finally he remembered that the tree spirit had asked the same question, "Why do you like that human?"
Spider-Man's answer was: "With him here, I feel this 'home' is very warm."
The tree spirit said with emotion: "It feels the same as a mother's embrace."
The tree spirit just remembered the scene when he was a child, when he was hugged by his mother tree and protected from wind and rain. But the little spider obviously misunderstood something.
So the misunderstanding was directly thrown to Jiang Yan.
"This... there's nothing wrong with this answer." Jiang Yan was rarely stumped by a question other than the one in the exercise book. His head was buzzing, and he said helplessly, "It's just a little weird. Don't tell others like this next time."
Meng Tang nodded hastily, as fast and heavy as a stapler, "No one else." After saying that, he felt it was not enough, and added in a low voice, "Only you."
Jiang Yan rubbed his brows. He guessed that the boy in front of him might have been lonely for a long time, so his way of expression was a little strange. So he didn't say anything else, but changed the topic and asked: "Do you live in this community too? I don't think I've seen you before."
He asked casually.
Logically speaking, this boy had just transferred to this school today, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to move in today or recently. However, after hearing this question, the expression on his face became a little awkward and nervous, "I, I, I——"
It's a bit unusual.
The air suddenly became silent.
Finally, it was Jiang Yan who took the initiative to break the silent and strange atmosphere. He looked up at Meng Tang and said, "You just moved here, right?"
Meng Tang hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's right."
A bit dull.
Jiang Yan thought to himself, then asked, "Which building do you live in?"
Meng Tang thought about this question, then raised a finger and pointed to the left. When Jiang Yan looked over, he suddenly changed direction and pointed to the right.
"..." Jiang Yan didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally chose to end the topic, "It's getting late, so let's meet at school tomorrow?"
Meng Tang wanted to say, "We can go home together," but suddenly he realized something and hit his silver-haired head a few times.
He couldn't say that, or it would expose the fact that he was living in Jiang Yan's house. After all, they were just "friends" now.
So Meng Tang nodded and replied obediently, "See you tomorrow."
Fortunately, the other party behaved very normally when saying goodbye. Jiang Yan smiled at him and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow. Be safe."
When Jiang Yan turned and left, the transparent spider silk wrapped around him suddenly broke, and only then did he feel the trajectory of the wind.
Hey, why is the wind so strong?
It's still a bit cold.
Jiang Yan shivered a few times and walked towards home against the still strong wind.
However, what he didn't know was that Meng Tang behind him was still standing there, staring at his back with a pair of dark eyes.
Meng Tang wiped his eyes, and the figure of the young man in his sight became blurred. Spiders have poor eyesight, so he has been relying on spider silk to sense the other party's existence, and it appears in his eyeballs in a special way.
As Jiang Yan walked away, in order not to expose himself, Meng Tang did not choose to extend the spider web. So when the other party walked out of his spider web, his outline also became blurred.
"Mom, why is that brother's hair white?"
A little girl asked as she passed by Mengtang holding her mother's hand. Her mother smiled and said, "My brother is just sick, he will get better."
The little girl said "Oh", and when she was about to leave Mengtang, she suddenly turned around and gestured to the white-haired little brother who was in a daze not far away, "Brother, come on!"
Meng Tang tilted his head, seeming a little confused, but he didn't say anything.
It was not until the little girl and her mother walked out of the "spider web" that Meng Tang realized what was happening and turned his head around, muttering, "Sick? Are they talking about me? Am I sick?"
Thinking about the strange looks people gave him at school, he felt that he might be sick.
Meng Tang lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of some silver hair that naturally fell on his shoulders. He grabbed them with his fingers, but perhaps because he didn't control his strength well, he pulled out a few strands of silver hair.
Ah, he's losing his hair too.
When Meng Tang was still just a spider, he would often pick up bits of hair from the boy on the floor of Jiang Yan's room.
The little spider picked up all the hairs without missing a single one and kept them well.
Oh, yes, Jiang Yan’s hair is black.
Meng Tang seemed to have just discovered that he was different from ordinary people, but he pouted his lips, and his expression showed a little loneliness.
However, this human body is already a very good result of his alienation. After several experiments, he thought that Jiang Yan might like this body.
When the little spider was first mutated, it also evolved six human-like long legs, two heads, four human eyeballs... Finally, it finally pieced together a complete body, and he hurried to see Jiang Yan.
Now it seems that this body still has some flaws.
But just now, Jiang Yan seemed... not to hate him that much, and even agreed to be friends with him.
So it’s not his problem, it’s the problem of the little girl just now.
After figuring it out, Meng Tang showed a satisfied smile, then with a "boom" sound, he turned into a living spider, and then ran towards Jiang Yan's room with his slender legs "puff puff".
Because it couldn't wait to see Jiang Yan, it took a shortcut and crawled vertically upwards along the outer wall of the residential building.
“Puff, puff—”
Soon it arrived at its destination.
Oh, it’s time for the baby to take a bath.
The little spider flipped over the window and sneaked into the room, then ran to the bathroom skillfully. It hid under the crack of the door and carefully poked its head out of the spider web, using the spider silk that was quickly covered with mist to construct the boy's spotless body in his eyeball.
It likes Jiang Yan at this moment more than when he is wearing school uniform. In its eyes, only Jiang Yan like this is spotless.
It really doesn't understand why humans always have to put on another skin under their original skin. It was obvious that it didn't wear an extra skin when it was a spider. What do humans call it? It sounds like clothes.
The little spider lay obediently under the door, quietly accompanying the person inside to take a bath.
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Yan came out wrapped in pajamas. His pajamas were a little dinosaur, which was a birthday gift from his friends when he was eighteen.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Jiang Yan used a hair dryer to blow her hair, and the scent of shampoo quickly filled the entire room with the flowing air.
The little spider was dizzy from the delicious smell and floated around the room like a hungry ghost that smelled food.
Just as it was about to get close to the source of the fragrance - Jiang Yan's hair, the hair dryer suddenly adjusted its angle and sprayed a burst of air at the small spider hanging on a spider thread from the ceiling.
It soon began to swing around the room like a swing, as the spider thread swayed, and turned into a large spider-shaped pendulum clock.
From very close to Jiangyan, it gradually became the farthest away. I was almost blown to the wall by the spider.
The little spider's eyes instantly became alert. It firmly grasped the spider silk it had spit out, and stared straight at the hair dryer in Jiang Yan's hand, as if it was some deadly weapon.
It waited for a long time, and finally, the surging hot wind in the room disappeared.
The little spider seized the opportunity, hooked on the spider silk hanging from the ceiling and jumped. After several jumps back and forth, it finally jumped onto Jiangyan's fragrant head.
It took a deep breath, quickly taking in the fragrance. After about eight or nine seconds, it revealed a satisfied expression.
Burp, I’m full.
Jiang Yan put down the hair dryer after he finished blow-drying his hair. At first he didn't notice anything unusual on his head until he picked up a small mirror to fix his hair. A black shadow reflected in the mirror made his pupils dilate.
There's a spider on his head!
His breathing hitched.
