Chapter 144 - House (1/2)

Children’s words are usually very clear and straightforward.

Su Min instantly understood what he meant.

As it turned out, he had become friends with a ghost. This would explain his second uncle’s reaction. It was naturally something they couldn’t accept.

Su Min asked: “Then where is your friend now?”

Xiao Su looked at him, “You can’t see him.”

Su Min still believed that he had the ability to see ghosts. This was also a movie so seeing ghosts was something normal.

He felt that his persuasion skills weren’t too rusty and said: “Why don’t you let me give it a try? Maybe I can also see him.”

Xiao Su tilted his head and seemed to be considered the truth of his words.

He looked very cute doing that. Su Min couldn’t help but rub his head and ask in a warm voice: “Have you dcided?”

The child answered: “I still want to think about it.”

Su Min also wasn’t in a hurry: “Okay, then let me know when you’ve made your decision.”

When the two returned, the second uncle had just come back. When he saw them, he let out a big sigh of relief. He thought Xiao Su had gone out doing something strange again.

Xiao Su sent the child home before returning home himself.

The sky had not darkened yet but the aroma of rice was everywhere. People in the countryside would always eat when its bright out and then go to sleep before ten in the evening.

It worked well with Su Min’s schedule.

It was just that he found it a little strange. He had already grown used to Li Wen Xin and Wang Di pulling all nighters every night and had also grown used to his own room.

Fortunately, he had spent some time in several horror movies, so he had learnt to adapt quickly. All he needed to do was to wait for the plot to progress.

When Su Min returned to his room, he saw that someone had gone through his notebook.

He had kept that notebook in the drawer and even placed a few books on top of it. The door to his room was also closed.

Did his aunt come in?

For a moment, Su Min couldn’t figure out who it could be. He tore off the record in the notebook and burned it with a lighter.

If you looked closely, he had only recorded the happenings last night. If anyone asked, he could just say that it was his diary. They wouldn’t be able to suspect anything.

When it was time for dinner, his aunt came out from the kitchen.

She said: “I just happened to have some braised ribs. I was worried about you having too much tonic today and end up with a nosebleed so let’s just have that.”

Nosebleeds……..

Su Min imagined that scene and shook his head: “Braised is good.”

Since young, he had never seemed to have nosebleeds.

His aunt cheerfully went back to the kitchen to take out the food. She then said: “You can eat first. I’ll go out and water the flowers.”

The flowers outside were in full bloom in their pots. They all sat together.

Every time Su Min came back, the flowers hanging from the ways would touch his head. Something like this would also happen to him back when he lived at his grandmother’s place.

Although there aren’t many now, his grandmother’s place also had a lot of flowers. They would be on the balcony, the yard, and even hanging from the walls.

Unfortunately, he could no longer see that anymore.

Su Min sighed and calmly ate his food.

When his aunt returned, she had a few bites and asked: “That’s right, did you take Xiao Su out to play today?”

Su Min: “Yes, why?”

“Your second uncle asked me.” His aunt thought for a moment, “He wanted me to ask you if Xiao Su was acting strange today.”

Su Min said: “No, everything was normal.”

His aunt nodded: “Normal is good. We’re just worried that something might not be right.”

In fact, she also felt that Xiao Su was normal. Unlike some bratty children, every time he visited he would obediently greet her.

She didn’t know what the second uncle was worrying about.

A child who is not rebellious, has such a polite personality and is so well-behaved – she liked that very much.

After a while, Su Min remembered his notebook. He asked: “Auntie, did you enter my room today?”

His aunt answered: “No I haven’t.”

Su Min said: “My book was moved today so I thought you entered my room. I wonder who it could be?”

His aunt who heard this felt that the situation probably wasn’t good, “Was there anything missing? Maybe a naughty child entered and touched it? There shouldn’t be a thief here.”

Su Min said: “Nothing went missing. It just moved a little, that’s all. Don’t worry, how could there be thieves here?”

“Scared me.”

Su Min didn’t expect this resilt.

It wasn’t possible for a naughty child to do something like that because he had locked the door and a key would be required to open it.

Unless the child came in through the window.

Or it was done by something that is not human.

Su Min mentally noted this and planned to find out who it could be when he had the time.

The next day, something happened at his second uncle’s place again.

Su Min only found out about this because his aunt ran out while she was halfway through making breakfast. The pot itself almost burned.

When he put out the fire and came out, he saw a group of young children standing around outside watching.

Su Min squeezed past them and saw his second aunt crying in the hall: “What do I do? He’s not normal now………”
