Chapter 7: The Tube Building (Part 7) Sister... Who is he? ...
Wen Yin was stunned. She originally just wanted this "ghost" to turn back into a black shadow, but she didn't expect it to turn into a human.
"Is this your...original form?"
Wen Yin lowered her eyes and looked at the naked boy who rested his chin on her knees, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
"It seems...right..."
The boy tilted his head and rubbed Wen Yin's knee with his cold cheek, his tone a little uncertain.
"It's been so long, I don't remember..."
"Sister, don't you like it?"
The young man looked up, observing Wen Yin's expression very carefully, and spoke with a wronged tone.
"If you don't like it, I can turn back into a dog..."
It’s not that Wen Yin dislikes him. Compared to the two weird black dog heads, the young man lying on her knees is much more pleasing to the eye.
After all, he has a particularly pitiful face.
It's just... this naked look...
Wen Yin casually pulled the thin blanket behind her and covered the young man from head to toe.
"To become a human, you need to wear clothes."
After saying that, Wen Yin raised her leg and kicked the young man who was still clinging to her leg away.
The young man was kicked to the ground along with the thin blanket. After several seconds, he lifted the blanket and poked his head out from inside.
He had that dog-like aggrieved expression again, and his eyes were still on Wen Yin's foot, which was hanging on the edge of the bed and had just kicked him.
It seems like he wants to lick it again.
"Once you become a human, you can no longer lick people randomly."
Wen Yin's ankles were still sticky, so she wiped them with a tissue and put on socks to block the puppy's gaze.
The puppy nodded aggrievedly: "Then can I just turn into a dog?"
Then, without waiting for Wen Yin to answer, thick black fog surged and covered his entire body again.
It seems like it wants to return to its original appearance.
"etc……"
Wen Yin still had some questions to ask this "ghost" that had turned into a human. Just as she opened her mouth to stop it, the surging black shadow suddenly stopped.
Confusion was evident in the young man's naive expression. He lifted the thin blanket, revealing a human body shrouded in black mist underneath.
“Huh…”
The black mist surged and pulled, but the human figure remained motionless.
The young man looked up and said helplessly: "I...why can't I change back..."
Wen Yin looked at the boy's body. After more than ten minutes, he still looked like a human.
"Do you have a name?"
Wen Yin opened her mouth and suddenly thought of Shen Sinian next door.
The young man shook his head in confusion, looking very much like the ignorant little demon in strange stories that had just transformed into a human form.
"Well, how about I give you a name?"
Wen Yin narrowed her eyes and her tone became softer, with a soothing tone.
"Humans all have names."
The young man blinked, stared at Wen Yin with his dark pupils for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Awu."
Wen Yin spoke softly, slowly reading out two words.
"Just call me, A Wu."
A Wu quickly accepted his new name, sat on the ground wrapped in a blanket, and followed Wen Yin with his eyes fixed.
Seeing Wen Yin get up, get dressed, and walk towards the door, he hurriedly called out.
"Sister, where are you going..."
"I'll buy you some clothes."
Wen Yin smiled at A Wu.
"Be good and wait for me to come back."
-
It was already dark outside the window, but the atmosphere in the entire building was clearly very different from last night.
Along the way, there were noises, footsteps, and the clattering of pots and pans.
Full of fireworks.
Wen Yin suddenly remembered what the white-haired grandmother had said.
"Don't go out on rainy nights. Keep quiet and you'll be fine."
The "weirdness" in this building seems to be triggered only on rainy nights.
[Host, why did you keep that "Ghost"?]
028 is a little confused.
[Is he the target of the mission?]
[And the 'landlord' you mentioned during the day...]
[Not sure yet,] Wen Yin calmly shook her head, [Let's wait and see.]
[Hmm,] 028 looked around and suddenly raised his voice, [Hey, host, look at the door.]
Wen Yin looked forward upon hearing this and saw a small figure squatting on the ground at the entrance of the porch, staring eagerly at the intersection ahead.
It's a small group.
Wen Yin walked closer and found that Xiaotuan was crying.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Yin squatted down and touched Xiaotuan's head.
"Why are you crying here?"
Xiaotuan's round, black eyes were red from crying. When she saw Wen Yin coming over, she looked up at her.
His eyes were stubborn and pitiful.
His expression was surprisingly similar to the one on the young man's face when he was lying on her lap and looking at her.
"elder sister……"
Xiaotuan murmured and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
"I'm alone... scared..."
Residents came in and out of the corridor from time to time, but no one stopped, just like the little ball squatting at the door, which was the dirtiest thing.
He sat on the ground pitifully, like a homeless stray dog.
Wen Yin's gaze fell on Xiaotuan's eyebrows. She looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly took Xiaotuan's chubby little hand, her tone extremely gentle.
"Let's go, sleep with my sister today."
"You won't be afraid."
-
Wen Yin quickly bought the clothes and was about to go upstairs with Xiao Tuan when she ran into Chen Sinian who was returning home from work at the entrance of the corridor.
He was still wearing the light-colored windbreaker, with thin frameless glasses on his nose, a slender figure and a warm face.
“Doctor Shen, you’re off duty.”
Wen Yin was the first to speak and greeted, with a smile on her face.
“Well,” Shen Sinian walked closer and saw Wen Yin still holding Xiaotuan, “What are you doing…?”
Xiaotuan showed half of her red, crying face from Wen Yin's side, called out "Uncle Shen" softly, and then lowered her head again.
"The child is a little pitiful," Wen Yin touched the top of Xiaotuan's head soothingly, with a hint of pity inadvertently showing in her expression, "I'll take him to my room and let him stay for one night."
"I see."
Shen Sinian spoke in a young voice, and some dim tungsten lights in the corridor flickered. The thin lenses reflected a kind of indistinguishable cold light under the refraction of light.
Overlapping with his dark pupils, the gaze that looked at him was like the iris of some cold-blooded animal.
He smiled, a cold and sharp emotion flashing in his eyes.
"You are such a caring, good neighbor."
Wen Yin held Xiaotuan's hand tightly, stepped aside, and signaled the other party to go first.
"The corridor is narrow, and Xiaotuan's leg is still injured. Doctor Shen, you go first."
Shen Sinian lowered his eyes, his gaze passing over Xiaotuan's tightly clenched hand.
The next second, he bent down and picked up the little girl hiding beside Wen Yin.
The smell of cold disinfectant from the hospital instantly enveloped Wen Yin as the distance got closer.
Shen Sinian's gentle and slow voice sounded beside Wen Yin. Although there was still some distance between them, it seemed to be right next to her ear.
"In that case, I'll hold you."
"You go first."
After saying that, he stood there motionless.
Xiaotuan was suddenly picked up and instinctively hugged Shen Sinian's neck.
The two people, one big and one small, looked down at her because of the height difference.
As warm as a family.
Wen Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded gratefully.
"Thank you, Dr. Shen."
The petite girl brushed past the young man, stirring the air and creating invisible ripples.
The tip of Shen Sinian's nose moved suddenly, as if he smelled something that made him dissatisfied.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze cold.
Soon, they arrived at the fifth floor and Xiaotuan was placed in front of the door of 501.
As soon as he landed, he grabbed the corner of Wen Yin's clothes and didn't move.
There was still light under the crack of the door 501. Wen Yin inserted the key into the keyhole. She caught a glimpse of Shen Sinian standing beside her, looking at her quietly.
Seeing Wen Yin looking back with a puzzled expression, Shen Sinian politely took a step back and stopped looking at her privacy: “Sorry, Wen Yin, see you tomorrow.”
"See you tomorrow, Dr. Shen."
The girl unlocked the door and brought Xiaotuan into the house.
Through the half-open door, one could only see the blue plaid cloth hanging at the end of the bed to block the view.
Soon, the door was closed, and a tall young man stood in front of the door with a cold look in his eyes.
[Shen Sinian leaves.]
028 reminded.
Wen Yin nodded and looked at the two boys, one big and one small, in the room, who were looking at each other in surprise.
"elder sister."
They both spoke at the same time, their dark eyes like replicas, looking at Wen Yin who was standing by the door.
"who is he……?"
