Chapter 3193 Stomach Groaning

Is this what the gray-haired girl meant?

……

"Ah."

The gray-haired girl nodded casually.

"You are special."

……

He is special...

The boy rubbed his temple hard.

A sentence flashed through his mind again.

"You are not human!"

the boy blurted out.

……

"Ah."

The gray-haired girl stretched.

"I'm not human."

……

Such a shocking fact was said by the gray-haired girl in such a… not at all cautious tone…

A bitter smile slowly appeared on the boy's face.

"Be serious."

"this matter……"

It's obviously a very amazing thing -
No.

Very amazing thing.

The gray-haired girl's attitude made him feel that his heart was in turmoil and thunder because of this matter... There was no need for that.

However, because of the gray-haired girl's attitude, the boy felt that he was slowly calming down.

……

"You are……"

The boy thought about what the gray-haired girl said next, "Monster?"

……

"Um"

A hint of impatience appeared on the gray-haired girl's face again.

“I don’t want to answer the same questions again.”

"I'm not human."

"I am a monster."

"Don't you understand?"

"Humans are really stupid."

……

The despised human boy opened his mouth slightly.

Of course he understood these two sentences.

He's not stupid.

But the problem is that it is easier to understand than to accept.

Not to mention accepting it, he is still in the stage of trying to believe it.

Although from all the circumstances, what the gray-haired girl said should be true...

but……

Even though he told himself this... again and again...

He still had some doubts in his heart.

……

Monster.

He is not a kindergarten kid anymore.

He had long known that there were no monsters, no ghosts, no gods, no Buddhas, and certainly no demons in the world.

This was the consensus of most humans he knew.

Of course, he also knew that there were still some people who believed in their existence.

But that is faith.

The teacher said that we should respect other people’s beliefs.

Faith is different from feudal superstition.

They want to resist feudal superstition.

……

"Gululu~"

The boy's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his stomach growling.

The boy subconsciously covered his stomach with his hands.

He...is hungry.

he:……

He found himself no longer needed to mention the gray-haired girl. As soon as his own stomach growled, he suddenly felt nothing.

The boy took a deep breath.

"Gululu~"

The stomach growled one after another.

The boy was a little shy.

He had breakfast this morning.

He couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.

Is it noon already?
The boy suddenly became anxious.

If it's noon, he will go home.

Mom is waiting for him to eat at home.

……

The boy didn't have any tool to tell the time.

only……

He pressed his stomach hard.

Now that his stomach is complaining to him...

Then, it must be late.

……

"I'm leaving."

The boy looked at the gray-haired girl in the maple tree.

The girl who claims to be a monster...

"It's almost noon."

"Mom is waiting for me at home for dinner."

If it’s time for dinner and his mother doesn’t see him, will she be angry?
Thinking of this, the boy became more anxious.

……

"you-"

The boy suddenly realized that even though they had met twice, they had talked a lot...

But he didn't know her name yet.

"What's your name?"

The boy looked at the girl.

"My name is Song Xiaxuan."

"Song means Song Dynasty, Xia means summer, and Xuan means majestic and imposing."

"Xia is my mother's last name."

The boy chattered a lot.

But he didn't get a response from the girl. He was a little confused.

"you……"

"Gululu~"

My stomach growled again at an inopportune time.

Loud and clear.

……

The boy pressed his stomach harder and harder.

The feeling of hunger is not pleasant.

Why is he so hungry?
The boy was a little puzzled.

He didn't do anything?

……

Is it...

The boy thought of a possibility.

Too much brainpower?
After all, he really suffered too many shocks today.

He felt that his brain was not enough.

……

"what sound?"

The gray-haired girl looked at the boy curiously.

This was not the first time it had heard this sound.

But it didn't care before.

But this time, it wanted to know.

So I asked.

……

The boy was stunned.

Come again?

To think that this girl didn’t even know the test paper…

But it’s not to the point where I can’t even hear the sound of my hungry stomach, right?

Won't she be hungry?
what……

Do monsters get hungry?

The boy didn't know.

……

He pressed his stomach again.

"It's the growling of my stomach."

……

"The growling of your stomach?"

The gray-haired girl looked at the boy's belly.

"Why is my stomach growling?"

……

"Because I'm hungry."

The boy said honestly.

"When you're hungry, your stomach will growl to remind you that it's time to eat."

"Hasn't your stomach growled?"

The boy asked back.

……

"No."

The gray-haired girl shook her head.

“My stomach doesn’t growl.”

"I wasn't hungry either."

……

"……Oh."

Unable to think of a better response, the boy simply responded.

in fact……

"I wasn't hungry much either."

The boy explained.

Although he didn't know why he should explain?

But he just wanted to explain.

He wasn't always hungry.

The occasional feeling of hunger was because he did not eat on time.

……

The gray-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly.

Oh.

Anyway, it heard the boy's stomach rumbling many times today.

A glimmer of amusement flashed across its eyes.

It turns out that when humans are hungry, their stomachs make sounds.

pretty good.

This way you know you are hungry.

Well.

The gray-haired girl tilted her head.

but……

I'm hungry... Even if my stomach doesn't growl, I should know it, right?

otherwise……

It's too slow.

……

From this perspective, the growling sound of the stomach feels... more like telling others that it is hungry.

Does he need someone else to feed him?
Hey……

It’s interesting to think about it this way.

……

"I'm leaving."

The rumbling in his stomach kept reminding him that he should hurry home and eat.

It's getting late.

He didn't want his mother to wait for him.

The boy waved at the gray-haired girl.

Nothing more was said.

Turned around and left in a hurry.

There was no looking back.

……

The boy, who had gone from walking fast to jogging, stopped at the door of his house, panting, a few minutes later.

“Huff~Huff~”

The boy gasped for air.

He felt that running all the way was not as tiring as walking up these few flights of stairs.

……

After his breathing calmed down a bit, the boy took out the key and opened the door.

The aroma of food filled his nose.
