Chapter 8 Happy Death Day (8)

Just as Zhao Yutang expected, when Lu Youyou got up early in the morning, she received a call from the company saying that they were giving them a vacation. She had no suspicion at all, and she didn't even have the idea of ​​going out, and planned to stay in the room all day.

But seeing Zhao Yutang walking towards the living room, he still followed, for fear that she would strike up a conversation with Xin Ran when he was not around.

There are a lot of things in the living room, and they are all old things at a glance. Even the wall clock is old and painted, there are a few cross-stitch paintings on the wall, and there is an old-fashioned calendar.

Tomorrow's date was circled, with two small characters written in red pen underneath - birthday.

The handwriting is very scribbled, probably written in a hurry, and the handwriting is relatively new.

whose date?Is it He Hongmei's dead son's birthday?

"Hey--"

Xin Ran stood with folded arms, "What did you find?"

She was always looking for these details. Although being too calm made him feel itchy, she was much better than those who were crying wildly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yutang actually answered him, "Look at this calendar."

She looked at Xin Ran, and seriously discussed clues with him, "Whose birthday do you think this is?"

Xin Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise, and quickly replied indifferently, "It's not mine anyway."

He only has memorial days, not birthdays.

Zhao Yutang seemed to be amused by him, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, she looked very good-looking when she smiled, and the classical beauty showed a sense of peace and tranquility.

Xin Ran was stunned by this smile, a little confusion appeared in his eyes.

Why is she smiling at him?

She is obviously aware of the weirdness here, and she has already become very wary of him, but how can she still laugh at him without any grudges?

If it was those posturing and fake smiles, Xin Ran might have done it directly, he has always done this, but her smile was shallow and very real.

He clenched his fist and then loosened it, feeling an indescribable itching while being confused in his heart. This strange feeling made him feel at a loss.

Zhao Yutang had already turned her head. She was wearing a ponytail today, and the crescent moon marks on one side of her face were clearly exposed. Xin Ran's gaze clung to her ears firmly, like a spider's thread.

He touched there last night, and the meniscus filled with a little force, which was very interesting.

"I also found a photo."

Zhao Yutang completely ignored his direct gaze, "Look, I guess there are four people in this photo."

"One is the landlady's aunt's son, and who is the other?"

Xin Ran was disturbed by her smile and the crescent moon, her expression was indifferent, "Her daughter?"

Zhao Yutang shook his head and pointed to the lower right corner of the photo, where there was a pair of light blue sneakers, "These shoes are for men, maybe they are her other son."

Lu Youyou, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help interjecting, "Guess how many people there are, does it have anything to do with you?"

Her voice was high-pitched, and her words were not very pleasant, which was really annoying. Xin Ran suppressed his impatience, and suddenly handed her a cup of jelly.

Zhao Yutang followed his hand and turned his head silently.

It was her jelly, and he didn't know when he stole it. It was definitely not a good idea to hand it to Lu Youyou at this time.

Lu Youyou was flattered to accept it, and immediately opened it and ate it. As soon as the cool jelly entered her mouth, there was a faint stench, and the taste was sticky, as if she was chewing some fat. Her expression was twisted, and she quickly ran to The bathroom threw up and retched non-stop.

"Yu Tang Yu Tang!"

She stared at the toilet in horror. What was spit out there was not jelly at all but red and black raw meat, and the whitish bones underneath were faintly visible.

Lu Youyou almost fainted from fright, "You, look!"

Zhao Yutang glanced inside, there was jelly in the toilet, she probably guessed what Lu Youyou took it for, and patted her on the shoulder, "Calm down, it's just jelly."

Lu Youyou was still in shock, mustered up the courage to take another look, and it was indeed jelly.

Her face was pale: "What's going on, I clearly saw—"

Zhao Yutang interrupted her, "You should have a good rest, maybe you didn't sleep well."

Now Lu Youyou can't play with her mobile phone carelessly, her heart is still pounding while lying on the bed, she can't help covering her head with the quilt, she is really frightened.

Zhao Yutang returned to the living room, the old photo had been torn into pieces that could never be put back together by Xin Ran, even the calendar was torn out by him, but he did not move the one with the birthday circle.

Like a child with a destructive desire, he seems to be unable to see these things in good condition.

"Is she okay?"

He pretended to care about Dao, but he didn't bother to hide his expression, which was completely lazy.

"Not too good, she's hallucinating too."

Zhao Yutang sat down beside him, took a calendar that was still in good condition and folded it, "Have you experienced any hallucinations?"

Xin Ran stared at her fingers, "For example?"

"For example—a ghost hand that can rub your ears, ah yes, and touch your lips..."

"cough!"

Xin Ran turned her head away, brazenly said, "No, I didn't have this kind of hallucination."

Zhao Yutang said "Oh", "I don't think this may be a hallucination."

She suddenly leaned over, and the distance between the two was instantly shortened, because of the height difference, her lips almost brushed against his chin.

Xin Ran didn't move, he swallowed a few times subconsciously, his thick long eyelashes drooped, his mind was distracted by the slightly parted lips, as soon as Zhao Yutang moved, he couldn't help chasing after Zhao Yutang, persistent like a honey bee.

Zhao Yutang didn't seem to be aware of his gaffe, she spoke directly, with a smile in her voice, but her eyes were cold, "Tell me, is there a ghost in this room, a pervert—"

Xin Ran came back to her senses and wondered in her heart whether she said this on purpose to tease him, or if she really didn't know that he was...

Well, definitely the former.

He lowered his voice, meaning something.

"Maybe it's a ghost."

Zhao Yutang smiled, and put the folded thousand paper cranes in his palm, "Maybe,"

She changed the subject: "I haven't asked why you rent a house here. You seem to be a student, don't you go to school?"

The thousand origami cranes made of stacked calendars are a bit gimmicky, Xin Ran pinched his wings and looked at them repeatedly, "No, the family won't allow it."

"Why didn't you go up?"

Xin Ran raised her head: "Are you playing tricks on me?"

He is quite familiar with this kind of routine, but the other party is Zhao Yutang, and he is strangely not very angry.

Zhao Yutang shook his head innocently: "Have you never made friends? This is a normal understanding stage before we make friends. You can ask me if you want to know."

She was right, Xin Ran did not have any experience in making friends, but he was very interested in the exchange of information she said.

"She asked me to take care of her son and not let me go to school."

He answered vaguely, and quickly asked, "How many friends do you have?"

Zhao Yutang began to think carefully, and paused for a long time, Xin Ran was not very happy, "A lot?"

"Not many, maybe one or two, but they are not in contact now."

Neither she nor the original owner seemed to be very good at making friends.

You won't be the only friend you have, and she can't bear the thought of it.

She wants to be the only one.

Xin Ran was barely satisfied with her answer, and said generously, "You can ask me one more question."

Zhao Yutang said seriously, "Isn't today your birthday?"

After staring at the thousand paper cranes for a long time, Xin Ran made a sound.

"It's not my birthday."
