Chapter 86: Thoughts

The door was pushed open with a creak, Xiaozhen let go of her hand, and Pension immediately rushed into the living room.
In the living room, Fang Ziwei shouted, "Why did the cat run out ?"
Not only did it run out, it also did a public parade with one of its heads in its mouth. Xiaozhen was glad that the three women in the living room were unaware of the pension's feat.
Not long after Xiaozhen came in, Yan Zhu also went home.
Yan Zhu, who used to jump up and down when she got home, was actually solemn this time, and made no sound at all. Xiao Zhen was taking off his shoes at the entrance. Yan Zhu walked past him quietly, took off her shoes, and changed into slippers.
The plastic bag containing An Tianxin's head was on the floor at this time. Yan Zhu kicked it when she passed by, and An Tianxin's head rolled out.
An Tianxin’s head: “Alpaca.”
Yan Zhu didn't even move her eyes, her expression was cold, she just stepped over the head on the floor and walked into the living room.
“…”
Captain Madara said, "Congratulations, has your sister finally developed visual impairment?"
Xiao Zhen bent down and stuffed An Tianxin's head back into the plastic bag. He said, "It's obvious that she was thinking about something and automatically blocked out information from the outside world."
Yan Zhu really looks like she has something on her mind.
The three women in the living room were still chatting animatedly. Fang Ziwei and Li Xinyi naturally praised Yan Zhu, saying, "Zhu Zhu is becoming more and more adorable." Yan Zhu said crisply, "Hello, Aunt Fang," "Hello, Aunt Li," and then fell silent.
An Yuan brought Pensioner to Yan Zhu, waved Pensioner's cat paw and said to Yan Zhu with a smile: "Look, your aunt Fang temporarily put her cat son in our house. Look how well behaved Pensioner is!"
"Yeah." Yan Zhu responded, turned around and went upstairs to her room.
An Yuan looked at her daughter's back in surprise. In the past, if Yan Zhu saw a cat, she would definitely come up to it and touch and hug it. Today, she looked like this, so something must have happened.
But now that there were two guests present, it was obviously not a good time to question my daughter.
"Your daughter is worried." Fang Ziwei said.
"Yes, Zhuzhu is now at the age of a thoughtful little girl."
An Yuan sat back on the sofa with her pension in her arms. "My daughter Zhuzhu has always been very simple. I think she didn't do well in the exam, or she was unhappy with her classmates."
"Don't use habitual thinking to guess what your daughter is thinking," Fang Ziwei said.
Li Xinyi followed up by saying, "Yes, children nowadays are very complicated. Take my daughter for example, I don't really understand what she is thinking right now."
Fang Ziwei smiled and said, "I know that. Most likely they are current celebrities, such as Ren Anzhi or Ge Mengxuan."
"No!" Li Xinyi said, "I flipped through my daughter Rourou's notebook last time and saw a novel she was writing. I almost fainted."
"What?" An Yuan became interested and asked curiously.
"Come on, come on, tell me."
Li Xinyi said seriously, "My daughter's name in her novel is Princess Moye Ling Gelairou. Don't ask me what this combination means. And I am her vicious stepmother, Queen Binglan Xinyi. If it weren't for the homonym at the end, I really wouldn't have recognized that this bad woman was me. In her novel, I am the most vicious witch in the Hanye Dynasty. I tortured and humiliated her every day, not giving her good food or warm clothes, and suppressing her mentally in all aspects."
"As expected, she is your biological daughter, Rourou."
"Then what?"
"As it stands now, I have trampled on the beautiful love between her and Prince Silver Sand."
"Who is Prince Silver Sand?"
"How would I know!" Li Xinyi said, "Every night I would go to her bedroom to check her quilt. Every time I went in, she was already asleep, but her eyes were red. It seemed that in her imaginary world, I had done something worse than an animal to her Prince Silver Sand, which made her cry every night."
"You really didn't abuse Rourou?"
"No!" Li Xinyi sighed, "It's so hard to understand the minds of little girls nowadays. If I hadn't accidentally found her notebook, I really wouldn't have known that this was how I was positioned in Rourou's heart. An Yuan, I suggest you also look through Zhuzhu's diary and notebook, I guarantee you'll find something magical."
"This is not a good idea," An Yuan said.
"Please listen to me, kid, there are no human rights!" Li Xinyi said passionately, "Before the revelation, I was positioned as a vicious bad woman who destroyed her spirit. After the revelation, it won't change much."
"Zhuzhu hasn't reached the stage of rebellion yet." An Yuan covered her mouth and laughed, "I guess when Zhuzhu reaches Rourou's age, I will also be a vicious stepmother."
Fang Ziwei said: "Dear Li Xinyi, why don't you raise a cat or a dog like me? You will find that cats and dogs are the best remedies to heal your life."
"Speaking of cats, Rourou also pestered me to get a cat."
"Just promise her."
Li Xinyi sneered, "I'm following the progress of her novel. I'll buy a cat the day the heroine's vicious mother is whitewashed. If she's not whitewashed, a cat? Don't even think about it!!"
"Fuck, that's vicious!"
"How vicious! She's worthy of being my mother!"
Aunt Li served the afternoon dessert. She is not only a good cook, but also a great baker .
Egg tarts, cup cheesecakes, matcha tiramisu, and Yan Zhu’s favorite caramel egg pudding.
An Yuan called Xiao Zhen and Yan Zhu to come for afternoon tea.
Xiao Zhen discovered very early that eating a little sweet food can make her body happy, and the desserts made by humans taste really good. Every time it is dessert time, Xiao Zhen always eats happily.
Yan Zhu sat opposite him, holding a spoon, staring at her favorite caramel egg pudding in front of her. The spoon stayed in her hand for a few seconds, and then she pushed the caramel pudding away, "Mom, I don't really want to eat it today."
"What's wrong with Zhuzhu? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay." The little girl stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Xiao Zhen activated the consciousness probe and received her sister's shallow consciousness: "I will never eat any desserts before I am selected as the squadron leader."
He took the caramel pudding without hesitation and started eating it spoonfully.
"Zhuzhu..." An Yuan stared at Yan Zhu's back as she went upstairs and felt worried.
"She's fine." Xiao Zhen said, "The rules for believers."
"What?"
"The rules imposed on oneself in order to achieve a certain goal. Usually negative punishment oriented. More common in religions."
“…”
An Yuan stared at Xiaozhen for a while, and finally she had to admit that she neither understood her daughter nor her son at all.
Teacher Li was walking around the market. He stood in front of a chicken stall and stared at the chickens in the cage.
"Teacher Li, look at my chicken, it's very good." The chicken stall owner Lao Hu said, "Would you like to buy one?"
Teacher Li stared at the chicken coop in silence for a while with a stern face. Then he nodded and pointed at a chicken.
Lao Hu swiftly picked up a hen, weighed it, and asked him if he wanted to kill it immediately.
Teacher Li shook his head.
He picked up the chicken and walked back home. Passersby would greet him from time to time along the way. "Teacher Li, hey, you bought a hen today."
"It's good for stewing, and hens are good for stewing."
He nodded silently. He had always thought that he was a cold, old-fashioned, and uncommunicative teacher, but for some reason, neighbors and acquaintances in the community liked to chat with him. Maybe it was because of his profession, people always liked to get close to teachers.
He arrived at the door of his house carrying the hen, but before he could take out the key, the puppy started barking loudly from inside the door.
Teacher Li's expression softened a little and he opened the door.
Simba the dog immediately jumped up to his legs and circled around him.
Teacher Li took the hen and put it into the bathroom shower room. He turned back to the living room, the puppy sticking to his legs all the way, and he carefully lifted his feet to avoid stepping on it.
He came to the room. There were many cracks in the door. He bent down slightly and weighed the lock on the door. It was still tight, he thought.
Suddenly, the door began to shake violently again. Something behind the door was hitting it again.
BANG! BANG!!! BANG!!!!!!
The puppy whimpered and hid behind his legs, but did not run away.
Teacher Li stared at the door lock. The door creaked, but the lock still maintained its effectiveness.
Looks really solid.
He turned back to the toilet, where the hen was cowering in the corner. Simba barked at the hen a few times, and the hen clucked and flapped her wings in response.
Teacher Li reached out and picked up the hen, and then he saw an egg.
A smooth egg lay quietly on the floor of the bathroom shower room.
Teacher Li picked up the eggs, and the hen in his right hand clucked at the eggs a few times, as if showing off.
He stared at the hen in his hand, and the hen clucked a few more times in joy.
The door of the room was still shaking violently.
BANG! BANG!!! BANG!!!
Teacher Li looked back at the door for a while, he sighed, put the hen on the balcony, and put the eggs on the living room table.
He went out again.
He went to a nearby supermarket and bought a bag of frozen chicken.
He carried the frozen chicken home, and a familiar passerby in the community greeted him again, "Hey, Mr. Li, are you preparing a whole chicken dinner?"
He nodded sternly.
When he got home, Simba came to greet him happily again.
He put in the microwave for a few dozen seconds to defrost it, and the door continued to shake violently.
He brought a ladder, climbed up, opened the ventilation window on the door, and threw the frozen chicken in.
Click.
It was the sound of the frozen chicken being caught by something.
BANG!!! BANG!!!!
The door started shaking violently again!! Then there was the sound of claws scratching the door.
Teacher Li slammed the ventilation window shut and moved the ladder away.
He went back to the living room to fill the puppy's bowl and grabbed a handful of rice for the hen that was walking on the balcony.
Back in the kitchen, he made himself a bowl of noodles and used the eggs that the hen had just laid to make poached eggs.
He sat at the dining table, holding the noodles and eating them slurpingly.
Swish, swish, the claws kept scratching the door.
A strange sound came from behind the door, and that strange sound was completely unlike any sound made by human vocal organs.
The voice screamed: "Alive... I want to be alive..."
Teacher Li turned on the TV and continued to slurp noodles.
“Alive…alive!!! I want to be alive!!”
Teacher Li thinks today's bowl of noodles is good. The egg is also delicious.
After the news broadcast was over, it was finally quiet behind the door, and then the sound of gnawing food could be heard.
Crunch, crunch. That was the sound of chewing chicken bones.
The hen strolled from the balcony to the living room.
"From now on, your name will be Ding Man." Teacher Li said to the hen.
The hen glanced at him and clucked a few times.
