Alien Hotel

After hearing Yu Sheng's reply, Little Red Riding Hood said nothing. She just sat quietly on the grass, as if she was thinking about the problem, or just in a daze.

After a while, Yu Sheng heard her whisper: "This place is so quiet, there are no squirrels or wolves."

"Why do I feel so unlucky when you say that? It's as if five hundred swordsmen are going to jump out of the grass nearby in the next second." Yu Sheng looked around awkwardly, and his eyes fell on the girl again. On the body, "Um...are you okay? You look tired?"

"Nonsense, I'm a senior in high school," Little Red Riding Hood rolled her eyes, "and I fell asleep in chemistry class."

Yu Sheng didn't expect such a practical answer, and was a little dazed for a moment. The girl in front of him smiled and shook her head without waiting for his response: "I was not happy to go to school at first, especially after going through the 'awakening' stage. , after knowing what will happen in the future... I had a big fight with my previous 'parent', and you heard the content of the quarrel... Isn't it a bit stupid? "

Yu Sheng said nothing.

Little Red Riding Hood didn't care whether Yu Sheng answered her.

"Now, I occasionally have similar quarrels with those half-grown children," she said to herself. "They can't understand why the orphanage wants them to go to school and study step by step. Those who are in better condition have to specialize. They are arranged to go to a school for ordinary people, and even if the situation is bad, they have to take classes with teachers in a compound. For almost everyone, the things they learn will never be put to use, they will not graduate, and they will not be able to work. At that time, there would be no chance to become a designer, a technician, a driver...

"Actually, they are right, this is really a waste of time - if you look at the average life of each child so far, which is only more than ten years.

"But the 'parent' who took care of me told me that there should be hope in life - if the world doesn't give us hope, then there is something wrong with the world. If we don't have hope, that's because of us. own things.

"In this world, there are very few things we can control, and too many things will not develop as you expect, so in the end, your 'mentality' becomes the only thing that still belongs to you... Although, it Many times it is not so easy to control.

"She also said that it is difficult for us to live a complete life, but we can find a way to make the life before adulthood complete... She also asked me not to smoke, not to drink, not to do bad things, and to learn something and understand the world. How wide, she said, it is very, very easy for people to become bad, and giving up on oneself is the easiest thing, so we should do something challenging, such as being a good student..."

Little Red Riding Hood talked to herself, talking a lot, then took a long breath, lay on her back on the gray but soft grass, and looked at the equally gray sky above.

"Actually, it's not a very powerful principle. She can't explain it. After all, when she left, she was only eighteen years old - she didn't even have time to get a driver's license."

Yu Sheng turned his head and looked at the girl lying on the grass: "But she taught you well."

"It's not much better. I still didn't listen to a lot of what she said. For example, don't fight with others. She had some truths, but I still don't agree with them. But what can I do? I can't refute her now anyway." ”

"Too."

The two of them became quiet again.

Little Red Riding Hood just stared at the gray sky in a daze for a while. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly broke the silence: "This place is so quiet..."

"You just sighed once."

"No, what I mean is - this dream of yours is so boring. Is this the only grassland in this place?" Little Red Riding Hood turned over and sat up, "Dreams, at least shouldn't be... weird and complicated, right? This place How is it like...an afterlife?"

"Why did you pick it up?" Yu Sheng's eyes twitched, "Wouldn't it be better to have a quiet dream? If you've had enough rest here, go back - find a higher place to carry your body on your back. If you fall back, you should be able to wake up, or I can ask Irene to come over and kick you out. The success rate is 100%..."

"Forget it, I'd rather be woken up by the teacher's chalk later," Little Red Riding Hood immediately waved her hand, "That's what you said, it's good to have a quiet dream. I'm worried that I will fall asleep accidentally. I won’t run into the dark forest again as soon as I open my eyes. I didn’t expect to be able to hide and be quiet here.”

Yu Sheng curled his lips, but at this moment, he vaguely felt something smell.

"Did you smell something?" He frowned in confusion and looked at the girl next to him, "It smells weird, it's quite offensive to my nose."

"No," Little Red Riding Hood sniffed, "It just smells like grass—you must have rhinitis."

"That's impossible. It smells like something mushy."

"You must have smelled wrong. My nose is worse than a dog's..."

Just as Little Red Riding Hood was mid-sentence, she saw Yu Shengteng almost bounced up from the ground. The latter looked shocked: "No! Kitchen!"

Little Red Riding Hood: "...Huh?"

But Yu Sheng's figure has disappeared.

The next second, Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and then when he turned over, he felt his body was empty, and he fell directly on top of a pile of furry tails.

The crackling static electricity is a flower blooming in winter, and the flower language is - the fox fairy at home may really have thunder roots.

Yu Sheng jumped up from the pile of tails, and then he almost fell headfirst on the sharp corner of the coffee table because he stepped on the smooth fur. If he had fallen hard, he would have had at least half an hour to see what was going on in the kitchen, but fortunately, he didn't die. Then he hurriedly ran from the living room to the kitchen door. As soon as he pushed the door, he smelled a strong smell of burning.

In the middle, Irene exclaimed: "Hey, hey, water, water! It's on fire! My food is on fire... I'm on fire too!"

Yu Sheng rushed over and threw Irene, who was standing on the stove and whose skirt was already emitting flames, into the sink. Then he turned off the fire, put out the fire in the wok with a pot lid, and then opened the window for ventilation.

No. 66 Wutong Road is safe.

Hu Li stood in the corner of the kitchen with his neck shrunk. Irene lay in the sink with a black face. The faucet was gurgling and the doll was slowly floating up. Yu Sheng stared at the two funny people and the smoke dissipating from the stove in amazement. Because the action preceded the brain, the brain had not yet reacted.

At this time, his mobile phone rang twice. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Little Red Riding Hood:

"I woke up and was found by the teacher. I was woken up by the chalk. I was angry."

Yu Sheng replied with a cheering expression, then glanced at the kitchen again and scratched his hair: "Well, who can explain this to me?"

A few minutes later, Irene was hung on the balcony by a clothes drying pole through her sleeves. Water dripped down her body. Yu Sheng took a large hair dryer and blew her, blowing the doll to sway.

Feeling that the blowing was too slow, Yu Sheng had to move the electric heater out again and put it next to the clothes drying rack to bake.

"Well, you don't have to hang me up, I can roast myself..." Irene looked at Yu Sheng's expression and whispered cautiously, "I can even turn it over myself."

"I hung you on the pole not to save you energy, but to help you remember things."

"Yes, yes..."

Yu Sheng stared at the pitiful doll lady, and after a long time, he finally sighed in resignation and stepped forward to take Irene down from the clothesline.

The little doll immediately climbed onto the electric heater next to it with nimble hands and feet, sat cross-legged on it, and began to emit wisps of white steam from its body.

Now Yu Sheng knew why this guy didn't realize that he was too close to the fire when his clothes were burning.

She was not afraid of being burned!

"I'm quite happy that you guys want to help with the cooking," Yu Sheng finally spoke helplessly after holding it in for a long time, "but you almost set the kitchen on fire, which is a bit scary - it shouldn't be like this, Hu Li, isn't it okay for you to help heat up the rice?"

"I... I usually use the fox fire to heat up the rice," Hu Li stood by with his neck shrunk (and his tail tucked in), his ears drooping, "but Irene said she's not used to it, she'll use the gas stove... and then she'll perform flipping the wok..."

Yu Sheng was stunned, turned his head and looked at the doll lady sitting on the electric radiator - the latter was now surrounded by steam, looking like a fairy: "You, flipping the wok?"

Irene chuckled awkwardly, with the black ash on her face still there.

"That wok is almost as big as you when it stands upright! You flip the wok?" Yu Sheng's eyebrows stood up, "Who is flipping who between you two?!"

Irene laughed dryly twice, changed her position on the radiator, and continued to "smoke".

Yu Sheng shook his head, stood up and walked over, taking the doll off the heater.

Irene was startled: "Hey, what are you doing——"

Yu Sheng sighed, carrying the doll to the bathroom: "Don't roast it, I just remembered, you should take a shower first, the smoke and fire will make it taste good."

Irene was hung in the air by the collar, and looked up at Yu Sheng: "Are you not angry anymore?"

"Can I get angry every day?" Yu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, at least I didn't really set the house on fire... I'll go to the kitchen later to see how to solve lunch."
