Chapter 4542 Strangeness
The old man went home.

"You can always come and see me downstairs if you need anything."

The old man left these words at last.

……

Only the boy and Xiao Xiao were left in the room.

The boy suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Since we rented this house, Xiao Xiao and Grandpa Wang are the only two people who have come to our house.

The boy is very unfamiliar with how to entertain guests.

He recalled the TV plots he had seen and the plots in the books...
Should I pour Xiao Xiao a cup of tea?
Then I realized there was no tea at home...

Which young person would prepare tea in his rental house?
Uh.

Ok.

He said it too absolutely.

He said that most young people would have drinks, milk, and beer in their rental houses...

But there is very little chance of tea.

.....
What about boiled water?
The boys weren’t sure.

But the boys felt very uncomfortable just standing there and doing nothing.

The boy went to the kitchen to pour water.

It turned out that the water in the thermos was cold.

Uh……

When was the last time he boiled water?
The boy couldn't remember.

……

"Do not bother."

Xiao Xiao seemed to notice the boy's embarrassment, and he smiled slightly.

"You can pretend I don't exist."

"Or, I can come back later."

He came here at this time because he thought that maybe the target he was looking for was in the boys' room.

He just looked around.

Not found.

Then, we just have to wait until a specific time.

……

what?
The boy was surprised.

In fact, he was very tempted by this proposal.

But soon, he shook his head.

This is too rude...

He also hoped that the other party could solve his problems and save him from danger.

……

The boy smiled embarrassedly.

“There’s no hot water at home.”

"I'll boil a kettle now."

"Luckily I ordered a drink."

The boy mumbled.

At that time, I thought that since there were guests, I had to order everything.

Drinks are essential with meals.

……

The boy stood in the kitchen waiting for the water to boil.

After asking for the boy's consent, Xiao Xiao took a book from the boy's room and started reading.

……

The room was quiet.

The only sounds were the gurgling of the kettle and the turning of pages of a book.

……

"Drink water."

The boy pushed a glass of water in front of Xiao Xiao.

The expression on his face was a little embarrassed.

"There is no tea at home."

"There's only plain water."

"Freshly boiled water."

"very hot."

The boy reminded Xiao Xiao.

"Let it sit for a while, and drink it when it cools down."

"The drinks will be here soon."

After thinking about it, the boy added.

……

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao's gaze moved from the water cup to the boy's face.

……

"You're welcome."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The room fell silent again.

The boy suddenly felt tormented.

Was he going to say something to break the silence?

Still not speaking?
He felt somewhat dissatisfied again.

Why was he the only one suffering?
Why did he have to speak to break the silence?
The young man did nothing.

Then he didn't do anything well.

.....
The boy sat down on the chair.

Looking at the cup in front of him in silence.

Yes.

He also poured himself a glass of water.

……

The light fell on the water, creating ripples of light.

……

The takeaway is finally here!

The moment the boy received the call for takeout, he felt like he had been pardoned.

……

"Xiao Xiao, let's eat."

While the boy was taking out the express, he greeted the young man who was concentrating on reading.

The boy felt some emotion in his heart.

In fact, he thought Xiao Xiao had a good temperament when he saw him for the first time.

It looks a bit ancient. I thought it was just an illusion.

But judging from the way he was concentrating on reading just now, he did have the bearing of a man of great learning and elegance.

The other party should come from a well-off family.

The boys came to this conclusion again.

My guess that this young man was not a liar became more and more certain.

……

The meal was also eaten in silence.

……

The boy told himself: Don’t talk while eating and don’t talk while sleeping.

Ok.

That's right.

……

"Hey."

The boy suddenly realized a problem.

"Are you staying at my place tonight?!"

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I can live here."

……

"No, no..."

The boy realized belatedly that his words seemed to be misunderstood, and he quickly waved his hands to explain.

"I'm just curious."

"That sound always appears when I am sleeping."

"That's night."

"It will be very late if you stay till then."

"You're going to live here with me..."

The boy's voice became softer and softer.

What is he saying….
The boy touched his neck uncomfortably and said, "You can stay at my place tonight."

"I have a bed here."

"Just get a quilt-oh, blanket out."

Now that the weather is hot, the requirements for beds are not as high as in winter.

Winter is a bit of a hassle.

……

The boys started to get busy.

He helped Xiao Xiao make the bed for his rest at night.

……

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

....
"No, you're welcome."

The boy cleared his throat.

People came to help him, and besides, this is basic hospitality.

……

Xiao Xiao asked the man to go to bed early.

……

The man nodded.

He went to bed.

The man couldn't lie down just looking at Xiao Xiao standing in his room.

To be honest, sleeping in front of strangers...

The psychological burden is really heavy.

Most people can't do this without any hesitation, right?
At least, his heart is not that big.

……

The boy froze.

How to do?
He was too embarrassed to tell anyone...
Because of a less familiar-
In fact, even if it was his parents, he imagined it and found that he could not calmly accept them staring at him while he was sleeping.

too weird.

Both mom and dad are like this.

What about a stranger?

……

The boy was a little overwhelmed.

……

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

"I was out."

"Call me if you hear any sound."

……

Xiao Xiao turned and walked out of the boys' bedroom.

He even closed the door considerately.

……

The boy had a conflicting feeling of relief yet becoming more embarrassed.

Will the other party think that he is very troublesome, very... pretentious?
……

The boy sat on the bed and was absent-minded for a while.

Then something occurred to him and he immediately lay down.

I accidentally hit my head against the wall.

The boy had a grin on his face.

……

Before, or when Xiao Xiao was not around, the boy hoped that the voice would disappear from his life.

But only at this moment, he hoped that voice would appear as soon as possible.

He could immediately tell Xiao Xiao who was waiting for his news.

……

There were a lot of random thoughts in his mind. On the one hand, the boy imagined that Xiao Xiao was very capable and solved his problem. On the other hand...

The boy told himself rationally or pessimistically that today might be another day of wasted effort.

Don't have too high expectations.

Will be very disappointed.

……

The boy fell asleep quickly.

He didn't get enough rest during this period.

I basically just sleep as soon as I touch the pillow.

If it weren't for that annoying sound...
