Chapter 3181 It’s getting dark

The boy hasn't talked so much to anyone for a while...

It's not that he doesn't want to.

But... they all didn't want to pay attention to him.

He is also not good at finding topics to talk about.

After noticing other people's indifference, he consciously stopped talking to them.

However, he also feels uncomfortable and lonely.

Especially when he saw other people talking and laughing while he was alone.

but……

The boy looked at the gray-haired girl with bright eyes.

Like the stars in the night sky.

She is different.

She treated him much like...his former friend.

Very casual.

No hesitation in speaking.

She wasn't looking at him clearly, yet it was as if he wasn't there in her eyes.

There was no rush to end the conversation with him.

There was no indescribable expression on his face.

All her expressions, words and actions... were natural and clear.

……

The boy couldn't help but feel bubbles of joy welling up in his heart.

How long has it been since he had such an easy communication with someone?

There were no awkward silences or dry words.

Especially since he felt like he was the only one who felt this bad.

The other person turned around and started talking and laughing with other people.

He was left behind...

There is no friend who is willing to talk and laugh with him like this.

……

The gray-haired girl blinked.

"Why are you happy again?"

From the moment it saw the boy, the boy looked unhappy.

Why are you happy now?

Tsk tsk.

Humans are indeed moody and have changeable emotions.

The gray-haired girl reaffirmed her impression of humans.

……

"..."

The boy didn't know how to explain for a moment.

His face turned red.

He was afraid that the gray-haired girl would laugh at him if he spoke out his thoughts.

After hesitating for a long time, the boy managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Thank you... for playing the song for me."

This is also what he really thinks.

He was really grateful to the gray-haired girl for playing such a beautiful melody for him when his situation was so bad and he was about to sink into obscure emotions.

He is so happy.

It's obviously just a song.

This person had even snatched his test paper before...

But he just felt very happy.

During this period, he felt isolated from everyone, alone and lonely.

But now, he no longer has this feeling.

What replaced it was the long-lost feeling of playing naturally with peers.

……

The sun shone through the dark clouds and everything became bright.

……

"That's natural."

The gray-haired girl said as a matter of course.

Not everyone can listen to its performance.

This human being wants to thank it.

……

"Pfft~"

The boy couldn't help laughing at the grey-haired girl's arrogant words.

The first time he encountered, uh...how to say it?
A girl who accepts other people's thanks so naturally and even with confidence.

But the gray-haired girl did not make the boy angry at all.

On the contrary, he felt that the gray-haired girl did not behave politely with him and did not try to keep a distance from him.

The gray-haired girl is very direct and frank.

So much so that sometimes words that are too direct and frank can sound a little... poisonous.

It will also hurt some people.

But he knew that the other party had no ill intentions.

There was no hint of mockery in the other person's words.

……

The gray-haired girl also gave him a song...

Is it because you can see that he is in a bad mood?

The boy guessed silently in his heart and was secretly happy.

……

"You can go home."

The gray-haired girl waved.

You've already listened to its performance, why are you still staying here?
it's dark.

It also needs to be cultivated.

……

what?
The boy was stunned.

He raised his head subconsciously.

The next second -
"what!"

The boy yelled.

Suddenly his face was filled with panic.

I don't know when, but it had already become completely dark.

A few stars dot the sky.

The light emitted is not very bright.

But magically it doesn’t make people feel dim.

But at this moment, the boy was in no mood to appreciate the night sky.

His heart was beating very fast, and his whole body was tense as if it would explode in the next second.

……

"It's too late, too late..."

The boy's lips were trembling.

Has mom come home yet?

That's for sure.

Mom came home and didn't see him...

……

"I am leaving."

After saying this, the boy ran away in a hurry.

"Goodbye."

……

The boy's goodbye was heard from afar, and the girl with gray hair raised her eyebrows slightly.

It tilted its head.

The human didn't say...

What is he going to do with that test paper?

……

The boy ran all the way.

The wind howled.

His face hurt a little from the scratch.

He didn't care.

The hands at his sides moved more vigorously.

……

He rushed into the apartment building where he lived.

The speed does not slow down.

Go up the stairs with big strides.

……

Finally, he arrived at the door of his house.

"Huchi~"

"Huchi~"

The boy gasped loudly.

I ran too hard before.

He had never run so hard in a physical education exam.

At this moment, he only felt that every breath he took caused a dull pain in his chest.

……

Call ~
The boy took a deep breath.

He tried to calm himself down.

There was a moment of blurriness in front of my eyes.

He wiped it.

A drop of sweat was thrown to the ground by him.

……

When his vision cleared up again, he saw the door that he was very familiar with.

It's quiet around here.

Even though he tried hard to control himself, his somewhat rapid breathing still echoed in the stairwell.

……

He pursed his lips.

I want to stop the sound from leaking out as much as possible.

……

His eyes were unblinking.

The door in front of me is very ordinary.

To him, it was no less than a wild beast with its bloody mouth opened wide.

It seemed as if it would swallow him up in the next second.

He felt a little fear in his heart.

My feet couldn't help but take a step back.

……

Realizing his actions, the boy's face looked a little unnatural.

But he didn't come forward.

He was hesitating.

No.

He is afraid.

He was afraid to see his hysterical mother again.

The thought of facing such a terrible mother made his steps move slightly.

He even had the urge to turn around and run away.

……

Ok?
The boy's ears twitched slightly.

like……

There are footsteps!

After a few seconds, the boy came to a conclusion.

His heart suddenly tightened.

He didn't want to run into his neighbors.

He didn't want to see the way they looked at him, didn't want to hear the words they said to him.

Without thinking, the boy quickly took out the key to the door from his pocket.

……

His parents gave him a key after he went to school.

Because his parents don’t necessarily get off work earlier than he does from school.

In order to prevent him from being unable to enter the house and having to wait at the door, his parents gave him a key.

……

"Click~"

The boy opened the door.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer.

The boy immediately stepped into the room and closed the door.

"Bang~"

The boy's heart skipped a beat as the door closed.

He then realized what he had done.

His whole body was stiff.

Get ready for the coming storm.
