Chapter 42 - 40: Killing the Donkey after Grinding is Done
"Save my number, and if you’re scared, give me a call! We don’t live too far apart." Leng Er elegantly pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, took out his phone, and recited the number.
Li Si quickly saved it and dialed through. "Alright, I’ve got yours saved too; remember to lock the doors and windows at night, don’t worry, this neighborhood is quite safe!"
"Okay, Brother Leng, I’ve really troubled you! I feel a bit embarrassed!" Li Si said sincerely, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"No need to say thank you, there’s not much family around for you, just consider me your big brother from now on, and I’ll treat you as my little sister."
"Alright, from now on, you’re my big brother!" Li Si said, moved.
"It’s getting late, I’ll leave now, you were really scared today, take a bath and go to bed early. Tomorrow is a new day!"
Leng Er got up and walked out nimbly. Li Si nodded and said she’d see him out, thinking to herself how familiar one of his remarks sounded, like something people often said in the future! What was it exactly?
She shook her head, never mind, no point thinking about it. Li Si looked at the large, empty house, suddenly silent, and felt a faint fear.
She didn’t bathe, just washed her face and brushed her teeth, then locked the master bedroom door, pulled the curtains, and huddled under the covers with the light on.
She released the little monkey Xiao Guai from space. Recently, Xiao Guai had grown a lot, its fur was sleek, and its eyes were bright and full of life.
