Chapter 40 (1/2)

The woman asked the servant to call. Soon, a beautiful young woman of about 30 came out with a boy of seven or eight.

Hu Xing called ”aunt” and the beautiful young woman nodded at him. Then she walked to the woman and called ”aunt Xia”. She didn't sit down, but stood aside.

The address between the three women was a little messy, but Aoki was not a person who liked to think about trivial things. His attention was all on the boy.

The little boy stood beside the young woman, bowed his head and said nothing. His body was stiff and his face was as white as a piece of paper.

The woman introduced Aoki: ”this is my niece and daughter-in-law Zhang Juan. This is my niece and grandson summer.”

Zhang Juan pushed summer's shoulder and urged, ”come on, every day, call grandma!”

Summer stood stubbornly, no matter how urged by her mother, even if she didn't speak, she wouldn't move forward.

The woman said, ”forget it, don't embarrass the child.” then she looked at Aoki, ”Sir, look, he wasn't like this before.”

Aoki stood up, walked to the little boy and squatted down to look at him.

Summer looked and wanted to step back, but he was hugged by Aoki's shoulders with both hands.

Aoki asked, ”your name is Tiantian?”

Summer nodded timidly.

Aoki said, ”then you must have a brother named Haohao. He's studying. You're up, aren't you?”

Summer shook his head and told everyone in his eyes that he didn't have any good feelings for the chicken nest man.

Hu Xing felt that Aoki's joke was embarrassing. Even if she was coaxing the child, she also seemed a little retarded, and Zhang Juan's body, who had been standing next to her, suddenly shook.

Aunt Xia keenly observed Zhang Juan's movements and said to her, ”sit down, too.”

Zhang Juan sat down on the sofa opposite Hu Xing.

Aoki said, ”you don't like your brother. Are you okay?”

Summer shook his head again and hung his head a little lower.

”But why not?” Aoki said. ”He likes you very much?”

Summer suddenly shouted: ”don't like! Don't like is don't like! He doesn't like me!”

The women were startled by his words. Aunt Xia was calm. Hu Xing and Zhang Juan stood up. Zhang Juan nervously said, ”everyday! Everyday, what's the matter with you? We ignore this man and come to mom! He's a bad man!”

But summer didn't seem to want to go back to his mother, but stepped back. Aoki followed him. He kept retreating, and Aoki followed.

Back, back, back to the elevator in summer. With his back against the elevator door, he had no way to go. Facing the green wood, he didn't dare to look up.

There are two triangular buttons at the door of the elevator, one upward and the other downward, which reminds Aoki of the strange symbol. In a trance, he feels that the elevator is the channel to a mysterious space.

Rich people are really rich! Obviously, it's just a three storey manor villa and an elevator. It's luxurious enough.

He reached out and pressed the upward button.

The elevator door opened and the little boy leaned back and fell into the elevator.

Aoki followed in.

In summer, he got up from the ground and wanted to slip out of Qingmu, but the elevator door soon closed, and he didn't succeed.

Aoki pressed the third floor and the elevator began to run upward.

In summer, I hide in the corner of the elevator, don't talk, lower my head and look at my toes.

Aoki said, ”why don't you like it well?”
