me and my monster neighbor

Xu Lae carried Chuchu into the house, and the setting sun slanted into the threshold. There were some traces of mottled paint on the dark green iron door, and the iron door also shone a little in the sunlight. After shaking Chuchu's eyes, it immediately Zhi Leng raised his head and looked around, up and down, as excited as if he had discovered a new continent.

Looking at its posture, it seems to be thinking about where to start to remove the iron gate with "hands".

Xu Lale: "..."

Xu Lala couldn't help it with its "blingbling" eyes, and rubbed its little head helplessly.

Chuchu's whole body is black and shiny, with a rather regular hexagonal serpent inlaid in the center of his forehead where the eyes go up. This scale is slightly convex upwards, reflecting silver-blue reflections under the orange sunlight.

Chu Chu's eyes are still foggy, but at sunset, the sky is full of orange clouds, and the afterglow splashes on its head. When Xu Lai lowers his head, he seems to see Chu Chu's eyes flicker for a moment, and the gilt-like light shines in the gray-black Migrating in the eyes, fleeting.

Xu Lala was surprised. Compared with the gray and non-reflective matte state when he first opened his eyes yesterday, Chuchu's eyes seemed to show signs of improvement. Although there was still no light in their eyes, they looked like pure black colored glaze under the sun. Balls reflect light as well.

Xu Lala was very happy, and thought about taking it to the clinic of the little magician Luji in two days.

Seeing that it was still staring intently at the iron gate, Xu Lala bent his index finger and tapped its little head lightly. Chu Chu felt that he had been beaten for no reason. When he looked up at Xu Lala aggrievedly, he heard Xu Lala say: : "Don't look at it, this door will not let you take it down no matter what."

This door is responsible for separating the two spaces from the living souls and resentful spirits at night. At first, what I wanted to tear down was not just a door, but the gate of life for the two of them.

Chuchu was a little anxious, trying to be cute: "chu~"

Xu Lala ruthlessly locked the door, closed the window, and drew the curtains to lock out the bright orange afterglow.

The first moment withered.

Xu Lala asked Chuchu to lie on his shoulders. He washed the birthday gifts that the neighbors in Zhongnandong were forced to "pay tribute" with well water, rinsed them again with clean water, and put them on the chairs. When he hugged him, Chu Chu rushed towards Xu Lai's shoulders in a numb manner. Its head hit the ground first, and its forehead directly hit the obsidian choker of Girl Zhizhi...

Chu Chu groaned, lying there motionless with her buttocks pouted.

Xu Lala was a little worried. Just as he stretched out his hand to hug Chu Chu, Chu Chu suddenly raised his head—if it had a head of hair, the visual effect at this time would be comparable to that of a female model coming out of the water, throwing her head up, The classic picture of turning the hair 180 degrees.

"..."

Xu Lala's hand stopped in the air, silently turned a corner and stuffed it into his school uniform pocket.

A dim yellow electric light was on in the house, and Xu Lai lit the fireplace again. The people's fat and people's ointment that Chu Chu collected today shone in fragments of light against the light and the flickering fire.

——The light is like the tears in the eyes of the oppressed common people.

Chu Chu flicked his tail excitedly, and circled this pile of "treasures" three times to the left and three times to the right to watch, enjoying a 360-degree view to his heart's content. His posture and movements were like dancing around a bonfire around this pile of things. While appreciating, he turned his head and called out to Xu Lala, calling Xu Lala to come over and see.

Xu Lai pulled up a small stool and sat down beside him. He rested his chin and glanced at it with little interest. He caught a glimpse of Zhizhi girl's diamond tear earrings with sharp silver hooks. Stretching out his hand to pick out the pair of earrings, Chu Chu let out a "chu!", and threw himself forward, spreading it into a black cake to cover the treasure beneath him, flicking his tail twice, coiling himself Go around in a circle to completely block the treasures under you.

Don't let Xu Lai take it away.

Xu Lale:?

Xu Lala's first reaction was that he was worried that Chuchu's abdomen would be hurt by the silver hooks of the earrings, and his second reaction was who cares about this pile of rubbish.

But Xu Lala's vanity didn't allow him not to enjoy the initial discrimination.

Xu Lala stretched out a finger, making a gesture to put it under Chuchu's body. As soon as he stretched it out, Chuchu's two short forelimbs held it down and pushed it away.

Chuchu's strength is not great, especially the pair of short limbs that are usually carried on the chest, the strength to push back Xu Lala is close to nothing.

Seeing that she couldn't push Xu Lai at first, she stretched out her small tongue of cherry blossom petals to lick Xu Lai's fingers, trying to please Xu Lai by showing off her cuteness, so that Xu Lai would surrender without a fight.

Xu Lala really eats soft but not hard. He gently pinched Chuchu's chubby tongue and said with a sneer, "This is the first time I've seen a species with a chubby tongue. You're awesome."

I'm afraid even a fat orange cat can't do a fat tongue.

Chu Chu:?

As smart as it is, it can even understand irony. It opened its mouth "ahoo" and "bited" Xu Lala's finger.

At the beginning, I felt that my snake character was insulted.

Xu Lala propped his face sideways with one hand. He had clearly seen that Chu Chu could bite off the neck of a hen with one bite, but he wasn't worried that Chu Chu would hurt himself at all. He touched the inside of his mouth, but he only felt the soft flesh, and he didn't feel Chu Chu's teeth. He noticed that Chu Chu's tail was flicking again and again.

Xu Lala teased Chuchu for a while, and was even more worried that Chuchu would be hurt by the silver hook. Regardless of Chuchu's protest, he picked up Chuchu and put it between his legs to prevent it from moving around. , and then dug out the family essential medical kit sent by Lu Ji's little doctor today, took out the medical tape, and wrapped the silver hook tip of the earring tightly.

After taking safety measures, Xu Lai shook the diamond tear earrings in front of Chu Chu twice. Against the backdrop of the dancing flames, the diamonds twinkled and sparkled, and Chu Chu's eyes were straightened. .

Then, in order to show that she was not rare, Xu Lala casually threw Chu Chu's precious earrings on the chair - Chu Chu's head and eyes followed the parabola and followed the parabola for half a circle.

He put Chu Chu back on the chair and got up to go to work on dinner. He didn't notice that Chu Chu was squatting next to the trophy, but he didn't want to look at Jing Jing anymore, but turned his head to look at Xu La La's back, flicked his tail listlessly, his hind legs With a wave, he kicked the diamond tear earring aside like a shoe.

Xu Lala was busy boiling water, cooking vegetables and eggs, but would check on Chuchu's movements from time to time.

It may be that Xu Lai looked back too often, Chuchu was worried that his treasure would be coveted, so he hurriedly picked up the golden glasses chain, jumped from the chair to the small stool, turned his head to look at Xu Lai, and then "Shut up "La La" dragging the glasses chain, turned and ran.

Xu Lale: "..."

With a pair of display short legs in front of Chuchu, he ran crookedly on his hind limbs and tail, stumbled under the bed to hide the glasses chain, and then stumbled back along the same road.

Xu Lala had made up his mind not to look at it at first, but when he heard Chuchu's trailing "chu...", he couldn't help but turn back to look at the situation.

I saw Chuchu resting his little head on a small stool in a daze, the height of which was just as high as its hind legs, and looking up at the chair that was two equal heights taller than it. , Chu Chu fell into deep thought, turned his head to look at Xu Lai aggrievedly, raised his little head pitifully: "chu..."

It was as if he was asking Xu Lai for help.

Xu Lala snorted, but still came over, grabbed the messy ornaments on the chair, and put them on the ground.

He knelt down, poked Chu Chu's head with his fingers, and said, "Keep busy, hide all your precious things, I'll take a shower first, if I come out after the shower and see that you haven't hidden it, I will You have to take them all—all—for yourself.”

The first time I heard it, I was so scared that I let go, and the obsidian choker that I just picked up fell to the ground with a "slap", and it was eager to express its opinion: "chu!!!"

Stress means negation, triple stress means strong negation, and Chuchu solemnly declares: that must not be done!

Xu Lala was amazed at Chuchu's obsession with this pile of crap.

but--

In the next second, Chuchu couldn't care about the baby that fell all over the ground. It swung its long tail and held its short "hands". side.

Its limbs are lying on the upper of Xu Lai's shoe. It is black and not slippery, and it is spread on Xu Lai's pair of red and white sneakers. It looks good when mixed with black, white and red.

Xu Lala looked down at it with some surprise.

He originally thought that Chu Chu's reaction was "No", because he disagreed with "If he came out of the shower and Chu Chu hadn't hidden it well, its loot would fall into the hands of Xu Lai". He didn't expect that Chu Chu would not The one who agreed was "Xu Lai wants to leave it temporarily to take a bath".

Xu Lala touched Chuchu's little head, couldn't help teasing the child, and asked tentatively: "If you go in to take a bath with me, will all these treasures of yours belong to me?"

Chuchu opened his mouth without hesitation, and said decisively, "chu~"

The little head was resting on Xu Lai's shoe, and the long tail was flicked tightly around Xu Lai's ankle.

As if it had already made a trade-off.

Xu Lala had just seen Chuchu's appearance as a "money" slave, just like a little miser, but compared to being separated from Xu Lala for a moment, it would rather give up the pile of things than leave Lala's side.

This made Xu Lai very useful.

Xu Lala picked Chuchu up from the ground, and didn't mind that Chuchu's tail and belly rubbed dust on the ground and would stain his clothes.

Xu Lala rubbed its head, smiled and said, "First help you take a bath."

Chu Chu shrank his little head, swung his tail and hooked Xu Lai's wrist, and circled around.

Hei Dazhuang, as the representative of King Kong Barbie, who is big in appearance, thick in appearance and full of sensibility in heart, when he came to condolences to Xu Lai's family this afternoon, he was very considerate with one hand holding a bundle of firewood and the other hand carrying a bucket of well water. The daily needs and supplies of the extremely poor households with double housing.

Xu Lala took a small basin of well water and scrubbed Chu Chu's body. Chu Chu also cooperated with raising his head, stretching his neck, and raising his tail, except that he clamped his two hind legs tightly to prevent Xu Lala from overstepping the "moment".

Xu Lala suppressed a smile, wrung out the bath cloth and held it in his hands, put his hands on his lap, and said to Chu Chu leisurely: "Okay, I won't touch you, but you have to wash it yourself."

Hearing the words at the beginning, he propped up his hind legs, raised his "butt", hit the water surface up and down with "ton ton" and smashed it twice, his butt slapped the water surface and splashed two water splashes, the battle was resolved quickly, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Lai: " chu~"

Meaning it has been washed.

Xu Lala let out a "puchi" laugh.

He picked Chuchu up from the basin and wiped his whole body clean.

Chuchu obediently let it be manipulated, flicking the tail hanging on Xu Lala's calf, it waited nervously and expectantly for a chance to be hugged by Xu Lala on the sacred tripod in the bathroom.

This is the most anticipated happy time since the first two days of birth.
