Chapter 2 A New Sigh (2/2)

The two legs of the creature were quite nimble. The bug immediately jumped up and landed on his hand. It then drove itself into his skin and left behind a dark violet bug-shaped tattoo in the center of Li Du's palm.

After storing away the little bug, Li Du suddenly felt a wave of fatigue. Exerting all his remaining stamina, he dragged himself back to his room, crashed into his bed, and almost immediately fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, what greeted him was another pair of eyes.

”F*ck!” Seeing another man's face right at his own, Li Du almost jumped out from the bed.

Li Du's reaction also stunned the owner of the face, a handsome Caucasian who was about thirty years old. He had a pair of limpid green eyes and well-defined facial lines.

Letting out a small shiver, the good-looking man complained, ”Hey, hey, hey, Chinese boy, why are you acting so aggressive? My name's Hans, you haven't forgotten me already, right?”

Li Du, of course, still remembered him. Hans Fox, Hannah's brother. He met him a few times in the past.

Glancing Hans, Li Du was quite angry. ”Hey buddy, why are you in my room? Are you spying on me? This is an invasion of my privacy!”

Americans took personal privacy very seriously—so much that every year the American courts faced countless hearings stemming from privacy violations.

Hearing his reply, Hans immediately retorted, ”First, this is my room. If we are talking about personal privacy, then it is mine that was invaded!

”Secondly, Chinese boy, I bet that you were having a nightmare. Haha, your eyelids were fluttering. It was really funny!”

As Li Du calmed his heart down, he quickly looked towards his right palm, where the bug tattoo could still be clearly seen.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door before Hannah entered and asked, ”I heard a scream. Any problems here?”

”Of course there is a problem,” Hans cried, ”my lovely sister! Honoring the memory of our deceased parents, could you give me some respect? Can you please not carelessly give my room away to someone else?”

Hannah ignored her brother's complaint and turned towards Li Du. She was quite worried. ”Li, how are you now? Dammit, you have been sleeping for close to 15 hours. Is something wrong?”

Li Du did not expect this. Had he really slept for 15 hours?

Realizing that he was being ignored, Hans complained again, ”Come on, can you please show me some respect? I'm making a request!”

”I heard you. I'm not deaf. But what good is your request? I never have any idea when you will return, and every time you do, you only come back for some pizza and beer. I'm sorry, my brother, but if it wasn't for Li renting your room, I wouldn't even have enough money for that pizza and beer,” Hannah replied. ”Also, how can you still call this a bedroom with a straight face? If it wasn't for Li cleaning it up, I would have thought that our house was a dump!” Hannah was a white girl with a very sharp tongue.

At her verbal attack, Hans could only roll his eyes.

”Lastly, tell me, how many hours will you stick around this time?”

Upon hearing this sentence, Hans looked quite upset. ”I'll probably be here for a long time. My business, well, my huge business is currently facing a small problem…”

”So how about the apartment that you shared with Dianna?”

Hans hesitated and took a moment before answering, ”Who? Who's Dianna?”

Seeing Hannah's eyes almost afire with anger, Hans quickly brought up a smile and tried to ingratiate himself with his younger sister. ”Okay, okay, I just remembered: Dianna is that Irish girl with long legs. Well, we've broken up, and the rent is way overdue.”

”So you don't even have enough money for the rent?”

Hans let out a bitter smile. ”Like I said, there was a bit of trouble. Dammit, I was swindled by that son of a b*tch and lost all my money. Now I can only rely on my sweet sister.”

”Your sweet sister will always love her brother,” Hannah said. ”But can only accommodate him in the living room.”

”NO!”
