Devil on the tip of the tongue

Standing again at the gate of the kindergarten where he went to school, Ji Heng felt that everything happened yesterday. The kindergarten gate was still crowded with parents, leading their children out of the school gate in twos and threes. Selling balloons and toys.

What he didn't know was that shortly after his accident, the kindergarten immediately changed the student pick-up system. Instead of queuing up at the door for parents to claim it, it has changed to letting parents go in and pick up their children with the pick-up card. It is a good remedial measure for the school to avoid risks, but unfortunately, Ji Heng can no longer enjoy such benefits.

"Heng, is this the place where your accident happened back then?" Looking at the colorful walls and full of childishness in the kindergarten, the devil suddenly felt sour, and couldn't help but hold his queen's cold hand tightly.

Ji Heng once mentioned to him that he had stumbled into the Demon Realm by mistake. He didn't feel anything at the time, but now, standing here, looking at those little weak and cute human cubs opposite him, thinking of his Heng was just like this when he was hit by a car back then, and then fell into such a terrible demon world. He didn't know how hard he had to survive, and an unspeakable heartache suddenly hit him.

"Is it because Ah Heng is obsessed with this place, so we were dragged here?" The Queen Mother asked in surprise. Their original plan was to go to the villa where Lou Jinyu once stayed in the human world, no matter what happened there now. In this way, at least it is a familiar place, you can settle down first, and then go shopping for gifts for visiting in-laws.

However, what they didn't expect was that after sharing life and power with the devil, Ji Heng, as a queen, could force them to the place where his accident happened back then by virtue of his obsession!

Ji Heng smiled wryly, he didn't expect it to be like this, but when he set foot on the way home, for some reason, he couldn't help but think of the scene at the kindergarten gate that year, if there were no events of that day, he would still be A child from a wealthy family who is carefree and goes to kindergarten. He has no shortage of food and clothing. The most worrying thing is that his grandma refuses to feed him junk food...

If we talk about what he regrets the most after the accident that year, it is that he didn't tell grandma when he was dying. In fact, he was not angry with grandma at all. Grandma's side...

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this last bit of obsession that they were pulled to the gate of the kindergarten, standing at the place where the accident happened, as if nothing had changed, but he knew that everything had changed.

"Aheng~" Lou Jinyu didn't say anything, but silently put his arms around his queen's shoulders, comforting him silently.

"I'm fine. There are so many people, it's not a problem to stand here. I know there is a good club nearby. Let's go and rest first." Moving from one world to another, even though everyone is powerful Monster, but still a little tired, I am sorry to let these people stand here with me to bask in the sun, Ji Heng hurriedly suggested.

Cough~Because these monsters haven't had time to forge human identity certificates, so they can't go to a hotel, but Ji Heng knows that there is a place that doesn't need identity certificates, that is, those big and small clubs and foot bath shops on the street. It's a steam restaurant, anyway, when Ji Heng accompanied his grandma to the steam room when he was a child, he never saw anyone who had to look at the identity card first when entering.

The place where their kindergarten is located should be regarded as the wealthy area of ​​the city, and the surrounding area is basically surrounded by villas. Perhaps because of market demand, besides a very expensive bilingual kindergarten and an imported supermarket, there are several clubs nearby. , bathing, foot soaking, massage, drinking coffee, doing yoga and steaming... In short, there are still many places suitable for them to stay.

After leading everyone to the door of the clubhouse, Ji Heng remembered a cruel reality in embarrassment: he didn't seem to have any money in his pocket.

Then, Queen Ji saw her king, and silently took out a card from her pouch.

Ji Heng: →_→

After all, he has also lived in the human world for more than ten years. The Demon King knows more about the rules of life in the human world than Ji Heng, a former human cub. When he left, he didn't know if he would come back, so he didn't lose anything , including several cards with a huge amount of money deposited.

Swiping the card and taking the number, this group of people looked very expensive, and the lobby manager who was used to the rich and noble people nearby was also shocked, and came to serve him personally, and did not dare to ask people’s origins and names. The rules here are In this way, as long as you can pay enough soft sister coins, even if you are a monster, you can still get VIP-level treatment!

This is a well-known leisure club in the local area. The decoration is very literary and elegant. At the entrance of the lobby is a small bridge and flowing water. A row of walls made of thick sawn bamboo tubes are very unique. Even the chandelier is Made of bamboo products, the waiters wear elegant and simple improved Hanfu for shuttle service, and even the order boards are made of bamboo.

"How many private rooms do you want?"

"Is your sweat steaming lounge upstairs open?"

"Yes."

"Is there anyone up there now?"

"Eh~ at this point, there are no guests yet..." Who would come to the clubhouse to take a bath and wash their feet in the early morning?They are doing night business, right?But because their boss asked not to close the door for 24 hours, so they are open for business in the morning even if there are few people.

"That's fine, I've booked all the private rooms and the steam room in the upstairs lounge, you can clear the place."

The lobby manager paused for a moment, and smiled more respectfully. It's not like they haven't seen the local tyrants who booked the venue, but, ahem, it's a bit strange to come to book the venue early in the morning, but, who makes people feel embarrassed?

He waved his hand and asked the waiter to hang up the full sign to go out. The lobby manager personally sent the Demon King and his party to the second floor, then turned around and called the gold-medal waiters who were taking a break to come back. Be sure to serve these unknown people well. trench!

However, the Demon King never had a chance to serve others. What people said was clearing the venue was really clearing the venue, and he didn't even keep the waiters, just kidding!How can these strange men see the body of his queen?Want to die?

Therefore, in the huge indoor heated swimming pool, only the Demon King’s family was left. There is a special bathing place outside the swimming pool, and all kinds of bathing tools are available. They turned into their original shapes and jumped into the swimming pool, and began to help each other in the bath. Ji Heng didn't realize until halfway through the rubbing. If they go home, they must return home in human form.

However, I have rubbed it all, and this club uses a special loofah sac and a delicate soft brush, which is quite comfortable~

After being cleaned, all the monsters put on the improved Hanfu for the clubhouse, and led by Queen Ji to the upstairs lounge. There are a few soft cushions, and on the low table on one side are exquisite antique teapots and teacups and various exquisite and delicate fruit plate snacks. There is no pretentious music, and the background is only the gurgling spring water and the slight sound of swimming fish flicking their tails in the water. , making the environment more and more quiet.

It was only then that the monsters discovered that the entire wall of the lounge was actually a huge aquarium!

"Huh? Is this arowana still alive?" Ji Heng couldn't help but leaned over and pointed to a golden arowana about [-] to [-] centimeters long inside. "My grandma and I steamed here for the first time. At that time, it was because grandma heard that there was a particularly beautiful arowana here, and because I had never seen a real arowana, grandma brought me here."

"Arowana's lifespan is indeed very long." Lou Jinyu nodded. However, from this point of view, Ji Heng has not been away for too long. At least, no matter how long this dragonfish lives, it will not surpass humans. Alive, it means that the members of the Ji family should also be alive.

This discovery made the devil both gratified and disturbed.

The good news is that he didn't let Ji Heng lose the chance to see his relatives because of his greed for a moment; he was worried, of course, because he didn't say hello to them, so he put their son to sleep... Well, in this country Although this kind of behavior is not illegal, it seems that it needs to be criticized and condemned morally~ Although he doesn't care about being reprimanded at all, he is very worried that Ji Heng will hesitate about their marriage because of his family's opposition.

To put it simply, this is the first time a typical son-in-law comes to visit his father-in-law's phobia syndrome.

After resting in the clubhouse for a while, Lou Jinyu personally took the whole family to the most famous modeling club nearby, groomed the whole family, changed into formal clothes, and even got a set of exquisite small souvenirs. The suit, looks so cute.

After changing into the human clothes, the demon king who suffered from "meeting the father-in-law fear syndrome" found out in embarrassment that he forgot to send someone to buy gifts for visiting the father-in-law and the mother-in-law first...

"Mr. Lou, if you are visiting elders, go east on this street about 100 meters. There is an imported food supermarket, which should have gifts suitable for elders. Last time I bought two bottles of red wine for my mother-in-law. It is said that the taste is very good. Not bad." The manager of the clubhouse suggested enthusiastically.

"Thank you!" The Demon King paused, and pointed to the card he had just handed out, "Swipe an extra 1 yuan from it. Thank you for your hard work today. I invite you to have some snacks."

Such expensive dim sum!

Everyone in the clubhouse cheered inwardly. This Mr. Lou is really generous. I don't know if he is an upstart who moved here.Because just now Ji Heng accidentally mentioned the villa where he lived. When the staff here heard it, Emma was in a bad mood. If this area is said to be a rich area, then the community Ji Heng mentioned is definitely a local old rich man. It's a place where talented people live. It is said that the residents there are very stable, and some have lived in it for more than ten years without moving. It is not just a house, but a status symbol.

"Cod sausage! Cream puffs!"

"Soybeans in yogurt! Butter cookies! Spiced beef jerky!"

Returning to the familiar world, Queen Ji wished she could buy the whole supermarket!

In contrast, Lou Jinyu is more sensible. The clerks in this kind of imported supermarkets are all professionally trained. He called one over, told about the age and general preferences of the Ji family, and asked the clerk to recommend a few. A suitable gift.

"Is it okay?" Ji Heng looked over eagerly.

He wanted to go home, desperately.

Especially after seeing those familiar snacks in the supermarket, Ji Heng couldn't wait for a minute when he thought of the scene where his grandma often took him by the hand and brought him to buy snacks.

Zizhulan Courtyard is the first real villa area in this city. The developer of this area is an elegant businessman advocating traditional Chinese aesthetics. He spent a lot of effort to create such a luxurious villa area full of Chinese classical garden style. In order to satisfy my little wish, I didn't expect that by accident, this place became a mansion sought after by the city's rich and powerful. Ji Heng's grandfather was the first batch of businessmen in this city to go to sea and made a lot of money. Naturally, he couldn't help but buy himself a luxury house here.

It's a pity that Grandpa Ji suffered too much when he was young, and passed away a few years after buying a house. Grandma Ji is a traditional housewife who doesn't know how to do business at all. The subsequent development of the Ji family is not like that of a community For other families, fortunately, Ji's father failed to start a business, and his success was not bad. At least he kept his own property, so the Ji family did not lose their house in Zizhulan Courtyard.

It is the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the afternoon sun brings the warmth of late spring, and the rich fragrance of gardenias floats in the air. There is a not-so-small yard in front of the Ji family’s mansion. Grandma Ji, who likes to grow vegetables, is in the yard. A few vegetable plots were surrounded by simple primary-colored stone bricks, and some seasonal vegetables such as greens, garlic, shallots, and cucumbers were planted in them, which made the yard more lively.

At this moment, in this quiet small courtyard, a beautiful woman with a sad face is smiling softly, holding a chubby three-headed little doll with both hands, and gently encouraging: "Remember, Don't be afraid, mom is holding you~"

The memorial who was watching invisible on the side almost shouted.

Lou Jinyu remained silent.

Ji Heng's tears came down all at once.

Lou Jinyu immediately clenched his queen's hand, and wanted to turn around and leave in an instant.

After going on for a long time, the family member that his queen misses so much has already had another child. They probably have forgotten about Ji Heng, right?

Also, aren't human beings just so ruthless and forgetful?One moment I was in pain, but the next second I could wipe away my tears. I should eat, I should have a baby, and who would have thought that the person they have forgotten, worked so hard, and wanted to come back even at the expense of everything. To the side of relatives?

Thinking of the little Ji Heng who would sell his body and soul in order to return to his loved ones, Lou Jinyu wished he could give himself two slaps, he was really depressed!

However, these people in front of him, these so-called relatives that Ji Heng cares about the most, are even more chilling than him!

Lou Jinyu didn't dare to look into Ji Heng's eyes anymore, he was afraid of seeing the sadness and despair in those big beautiful eyes... The relatives who cared the most, thought they still couldn't forget their relatives, but in Before he knew it, he had already had another child, so what should he do?

"Let's go!" The Queen Mother also turned cold. It was a waste of her time to prepare words of comfort, but she didn't expect that Ji Heng's parents had already had another child. They also felt that their child was dead, so they endured it. Can't help but want to use another new life to fill the flaws in your life?

What about Ji Heng?

What is he?

"Wait! Empress, Brother Lou, I, I want to go in and see grandma." Ji Heng was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly found out that his parents had another child, but he finally came back, no matter how sad he was. I really want to see the loved ones I have been thinking about all the time.

"I'll go in with you." Lou Jinyu held his queen's hand firmly. At this time, he didn't feel at ease to let Ji Heng go in alone, even though Ji Heng always said that he wanted his parents, grandma and grandma to forget about it earlier. For himself, it is best to have a younger sibling, but Lou Jinyu knows that this is just Ji Heng's stubbornness. In his heart, why does he hope that his family will really forget him?

Memorial did not speak, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Mother Ji. That chubby human cub has the same name as his own. My brother said that Memorial is a very good name, because it has special meaning, so it is needed It means to remember and miss, so, is this child also Mother Ji's memory and nostalgia for her brother?

The Ji family’s villa has three and a half floors, the semi-basement is the storage room and the garage, the first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, nanny’s room, etc., and the second floor has three rooms, which are Grandma Ji’s suite and the one that originally belonged to Ji Heng. There is also a guest room in the children's room, and the third floor is the suite of Ji's parents and two other guest rooms.

"Mom~ the sun is so beautiful today, don't you want to go down and play with Ji Ji? Ji Ji has already started to learn to walk." In Grandma Ji's room, Ji's father is trying to persuade her to go out for a walk.

Half of the curtains were opened to cast bright sunlight, but for some reason, anyone who walked into this room could feel the desertedness here, and the sadness seemed to materialize, filling this large suite.The room is covered with a soft carpet, and there are some children's toys on the carpet, such as small wooden horses, rocking cars, drawing boards, story books, plush dolls of the Piggy Page family... These are Zeng Jiheng's The most precious toys, because they are often with grandma, so the toys that should have been placed in the children's room were all transferred to Grandma Ji's room without knowing it.

"I'm too old to take care of the children. Didn't I tell you to hire a nanny?" Grandma Ji was sitting on a deck chair with a blanket covering her legs, holding a green dinosaur doll in her hand.The doll is a bit old, and it may be because it has been rubbed countless times, and the outer layer of fluff has been smoothed away.

Seeing the green dinosaur doll, Ji Heng burst into tears instantly!

He remembers that doll!

It was the one he insisted on taking with him on the day of the accident, but because the school did not allow students to bring their own toys, Grandma Ji had to take them back. At that time, Grandma told him to pick him up with the dinosaur after school. Grandma At that time, he must have been waiting for him at the school gate with the dinosaur doll in his arms, right?

"Mom~ Xiaoheng has been gone for three years, why did you..." Ji's father looked at the dinosaur doll tightly in her arms with some helplessness. After Ji Heng's accident, he witnessed the death of his grandson being hit by a car Grandma Ji was on the verge of collapse and wanted to commit suicide several times. They tried every means to comfort her old man.

However, since then, Grandma Ji seems to have sealed herself in an independent and inviolable space. She can only stay in this room every day, looking at the things Ji Heng once left behind, holding the things she promised to take with her. I had to pick up my grandson's dinosaur doll from school to barely fall asleep.

They thought of many ways, and even consulted a psychiatrist. Finally, the couple decided to have another child. Maybe the old man will gradually get better when he sees a new life in his grandson or granddaughter?

The only son left them like this, and the Ji family's parents were not unhappy, but one of them had already collapsed, so they had to grit their teeth no matter what.

So, more than a year ago, Ji's mother gave birth to Memorial.

A little boy who is as cute as Ji Heng when he was a child.

However, what they didn't expect was that Grandma Ji was very resistant to this child, and even refused to see the memorial!

No way, Ji's mother can only quit her job and concentrate on taking care of her youngest son and mother-in-law at home.

However, this home is still different from before.

"Grandma~" Seeing the desperation and sadness hidden under Grandma Ji's calm expression, Ji Heng couldn't hold back any longer, he broke free from Lou Jinyu's shackles, and instantly changed into his previous appearance.

One, little Ji Heng from Kindergarten Middle Class.

Lou Jinyu: "..."

Father Ji: "!!!"

"Mom~Mom! Mom, look! It's Xiaoheng, Xiaoheng is back!" After a long while, Ji's father pushed his mother in a panic. He couldn't care whether this was his hallucination or his son's ghost. All he knew was that his son was back! ! !

"You lied to me again, Xiaoheng, he already..." Grandma Ji raised her head, her cloudy eyeballs rolled, and in an instant, her pupils constricted, and the dinosaur doll she was holding in her arms rolled to the ground.

"Grandma, I'm back, thank you for bringing the dinosaur to pick me up." Ji Heng squatted down with tears streaming down his face, picked up the dinosaur that fell on the ground, and gently buried his head on Grandma Ji's knee, tears like rain Down.

"Xiao Heng, is it Xiao Heng who is back?" Grandma Ji has been crying since the day of Ji Heng's accident three years ago. After three years, her tears have dried up, and her originally clear and energetic eyes have become cloudy a lot. Almost at the moment when the grandson had an accident, the whole person was old.

Grandma Ji used to know how to take care of herself. She took skin care every week, dyed her hair very well, even washed her hair with rice washing water, and smeared her hands with loofah juice to delay aging. On the day the grandson had an accident, it came to an abrupt end.

There will never be such a little boy who softly calls himself grandma, and reminds her cautiously while making tea: Grandma, be careful of burning your hands.

Even the one who is learning to walk on the lawn is her grandson, but it's really different...

Grandma Ji can't blame her son and daughter-in-law for this new life. She knows that they decided to have this child for their own good, but understanding doesn't mean there is no knot in their hearts. What she can't forgive her son is, Less than a year after Xiao Heng left, they decided to have a new child immediately!

What about her little Heng?

Just left under that cold tombstone?

Every time she thinks of her Xiaoheng lying on the ground alone, so lonely, helpless, and terrified, Grandma Ji can't wait to go down immediately to be with her grandson!

"No! Xiao Heng is already dead. It must be a hallucination. I must be dying, that's why I saw Xiao Heng." At this moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Grandma Ji's old face.

That's great, it doesn't matter if you don't let her commit suicide, death will find her sooner or later, and then take her to Huangquan Road to find her Xiaoheng...
