  Have you ever felt like that? There was obviously no one around, but it felt like someone was watching closely in the dark, and the back of my neck hurt.

  The fingertips holding the pen tightened slightly, and Wei Lilu lowered his eyes, covering his expression.

  The time on the clock on the wall showed eight o'clock, and the slender second hand kept moving forward. The sound of "click" and "click" seemed particularly clear in this silent night.

  The sight in the dark was cold and sharp, making Wei Lilu's throat feel thirsty as he had not felt this kind of crisis for a long time, as if his skin was stinging. She couldn't help but push aside the homework in front of her, stood up, walked to the water dispenser, and received a glass of water.

  Standing by the window holding a cup of steaming water, Wei Lilu did not put the cup in his hand to his mouth.

  The night, which looked dim against the starlight on the ground, was torn apart by the cold security windows, giving it a broken beauty.

  After staring blankly out of the window for a while, Wei Lilu retracted his gaze, walked to the edge of the table and sat down.

  Wei Chengze and Yan Li should be sitting in the cinema together with the movie tickets she was "forcibly stuffed on the road" at the moment, while she stayed at home alone under the pretext that the exam was about to take place.

  Recalling the expression on Wei Chengze's face when he took the movie ticket, as if he was seriously thinking about whether someone on the street would really send such a thing, Wei Lilu couldn't help but want to laugh. You must know that he used this excuse before to explain the source of the tickets to the amusement park.

  Amusement park... Thinking of this, Wei Lilu couldn't help but have a slightly worried look in his eyes.

  She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Wei Chengze had been acting a little strange since he came back from the amusement park that day - she couldn't tell why, but she just felt that way.

  It was obvious that the other party's usual appearance and attitude towards her had not changed much, but Wei Lilu still felt that something was wrong. It was as if there was a slight deviation between the gears that meshed with each other. Even if it can still operate, the sound it produces is somewhat different after all.

  With a long sigh, Wei Lilu put the cup in his hand aside, picked up the pen on the table, and once again focused on the homework in front of him.

  Thanks to Yan Li's daily tutoring, she has made some progress compared to the beginning.

  At least... at least, she successfully memorized the multiplication table!

  Thinking of this, Wei Lilu felt a little inexplicably sad. She really couldn't imagine that this kind of thing would be the "basis" of learning in this world.

  ... Damn it, if this were the world she was in, even if she were the number one scholar, she wouldn't necessarily be good at this thing? !

  Wei Lilu suddenly felt a little lucky that she came to this world as a child. Otherwise, with her original understanding, she might still be regarded as a madman and fool by the people here.

  Her eyes stayed on the exercises for a long time, and Wei Lilu looked like she was seriously thinking about how to solve the problems. However, in fact, her attention was not focused on it at all.

  There was no movement from the person hiding in the dark. She could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat, and could not find any trace of the second existence, as if it was just her illusion just now.

  However, as someone who has been licking blood from the head of a knife for more than ten years, there are only two things that Wei Lilu believes in the most.

  One is the weapon in his hand, and the other is his own sense of danger.

  Breathing lightly as he had done in his previous life, Wei Lilu carefully observed all the subtle movements around him.

  Wei Lilu didn't know the identity and purpose of the man in the dark, but she had to say that the other person's cautious attitude was really beyond her expectation.

  Let me ask, who would be so wary of a defenseless little girl?

  This is not the chaotic era she was originally in. Even a child under ten years old may take out a dagger from his arms and pierce the heart of the person in front of him the next second he wipes away his tears.

  Children who grow up in this world have never even seen what the so-called killing is - even if there are scenes of blood splattering in those square worlds, no matter how many times they watch such scenes, they still lack that sense of killing. A sense of reality.

  She wouldn't say that the suffering in this world was less than the world she was originally in, but at least everywhere she looked, people's lives were much better than that world.

  Time passed by minute by second, and there was still no abnormality in this room where only Wei Lilu was present. Even the line of sight that could be noticed at the beginning disappeared, as if the other party had left quietly. Same.

  The door lock made a slight sound before being opened, and the sound of smiling conversations came to his ears. The slightly tense atmosphere around him was suddenly broken, and Wei Lilu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. .

  "Hey, you are actually doing your homework obediently?" Seeing Wei Lilu sitting upright at the edge of the table, Yan Li's face suddenly showed a surprised expression, "I thought I would see him as soon as I walked in. It will look like you are hurriedly turning off the computer." At this point, he thought for a while and looked at the TV that was turned off. "Or a TV?"

  Unfortunately, whether it is a computer or a TV, Wei Lilu is not the best person. Not even touched. She's not really a kid who's obsessed with that stuff.

  "Is your homework done?" After changing his shoes, Wei Chengze walked in behind Yan Li and asked.

  "..." His eyes stayed on the untouched homework in front of him for a while, and Wei Lilu closed it silently, "It's done."

  After hearing Wei Lilu's answer, Wei Chengze He nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's take a shower and go to bed. It's getting late."

  "Yeah!" After responding, Wei Lilu put the original homework back into his schoolbag and ran happily. I went back to my room and packed my change of clothes.

  "She has finished her homework." Seeing Wei Lilu entering the room, Wei Chengze turned his head and stretched out his hand to him expressionlessly, "One hundred yuan."

  Yan Li: ...Tsk!

  Wei Lilu: ...

  standing at the door of the room with his clothes in his arms, watching Yan Li reluctantly take out his wallet and give Wei Chengze a hundred-dollar bill. Wei Lilu thought seriously about whether he should turn around and go back Go to the room and pretend you haven't seen this scene.

  #I never thought you were such a father #

  His eyes stayed on the slightly raised corners of Wei Chengze's mouth for a few seconds, and a slight smile couldn't help but appear in Wei Lilu's eyes.

  What made Wei Chengze happy was not the little money he won from Yan Li, nor was it the fact that she had completed her homework obediently. Wei Lilu certainly knew this. It was precisely because of this that she felt even more heartbroken.

  As for the untouched homework in the schoolbag... Well, wasn't her deskmate still there?

  Silently shaking off every bit of guilt he felt, Wei Lilu carried his clothes and stumbled into the bathroom.

  The warm water sprays down from the top of your head, washing away the stress and fatigue of the day. The rising mist obscured the view, making the surrounding things a bit unreal.

  The sound of the two people talking in the living room became a little blurry through the sound of water and the door, but it was inexplicably reassuring.

  Reaching out his hand to catch the falling water splash, a slight smile appeared on Wei Lilu's lips.

  It's really... great to be able to come into this world and become Wei Chengze's daughter.

  By the time Wei Lilu finished taking a shower and went out, Wei Chengze and Yan Li were no longer in the living room, leaving only the people on the TV that were turned off, still crying hoarsely.

  After standing by the sofa and watching for a while, Wei Lilu turned off the TV with an expressionless expression.

  No matter how many times she read this story about a group of people fighting for love, she could not understand the thoughts of the people in it.

  Of course, Yan Li's explanation for her situation was - "That's just because you haven't met the person who can make you do this!"

  Recalling the muddy faces of those people on TV With tears streaming down her face, Wei Lilu thought it would be better for her not to run into that person.

  His eyes swept over the sofa with two cushions, and the corners of Wei Lilu's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

  In view of a certain unknown transaction between her and Wei Chengze, Yan Li finally got rid of the treatment of sleeping on the sofa every night and successfully moved into Wei Chengze's room. Although Wei Chengze often kicks people out of bed when he wants to do something in order not to bring up bad children, but for this guy, as long as he succeeds once or twice, he can have a good time. It's been a while.

  Looking at the interaction between the two people, even Wei Lilu, who didn't understand this kind of relationship, couldn't help but smile on his face.

  Throwing the remote control on the sofa, Wei Lilu wiped his slightly wet hair and prepared to go back to the room, but stopped when he passed the table in the center of the living room.

  After staring at the already cold glass of boiled water on the table for a while, she seemed to have thought of something, picked up the glass and returned to the room.

  He raised his hand and pressed the switch on the wall, and bright light suddenly filled the entire room. The hamster, who was sleeping soundly in the cage, suddenly woke up and ran around in panic.

  This little guy has only been here for two days and has not yet adapted well to the new environment. When Wei Lilu come by, they will try to bury themselves in the pile of sawdust.

  After a while, seeing that there was no movement from Wei Lilu standing on the edge, it cautiously poked its head out of the room, picked up the melon seeds that had just been stuffed in, and started to chew happily.

  Holding his chin and watching this stupid hamster bulging his cheeks, Wei Lilu picked up the cup at hand and poured some water into the little guy's exclusive drinking fountain.

  Half an hour later, Wei Lilu poked a certain little thing that had eaten and drank enough with his finger, and watched it use movements that were inconsistent with its chubby body. It "chirped" and quickly got into the hut. The corners of his lips curved.

  Is she overthinking it... Looking at the crystal clear liquid in the cup in her hand, a look of thought appeared in Wei Lilu's eyes.

  The school that Wei Lilu attends is open-plan, and you can enter and exit the school at will at noon and afternoon. Therefore, compared to the monotonous dishes in the cafeteria, most people prefer to go out and go to the various kinds of food in the circle next to the school. They eat in a snack bar like this, but neither the original little girl nor the current Wei Lilu like this way.

  One is lazy, while the other doesn't like places that are too busy.

  Of course, Wei Lilu would not admit that the biggest reason why she insisted on eating in the cafeteria was because Wei Chengze repeatedly warned her that "things outside are unhygienic."

  Although the school cafeteria is definitely not as good as your own home, it is more secure than other places.

  Originally, this was nothing to worry about. At best, it was just a different choice. It's just that... thinking of something, Wei Lilu's expression darkened.

  Even though many people go out to eat, there are still many people in the cafeteria. It is quite normal for collisions to occur when one is not paying attention. So when she had just finished cooking and had not had time to take a bite of the food, all the food was contributed to the ground, she just touched the stray dog ​​that she didn't know who raised it, or it was a stray dog ​​stationed here. I just asked the person who kept apologizing to buy a new copy for me.

  However, Wei Lilu did not expect that when she was out of school, she would hear the news that the dog was dead.

  "Maybe you ate something you shouldn't have?"

  "Maybe. I heard that there was blood all over the floor after vomiting..."

  "How pitiful..."

  Looking at the people talking about this topic gradually walking away, Wei Lilu only felt chills all over his body.

  coincide?

  --No.

  Not just a coincidence.

  The flower pot suddenly fell from a height, the kettle exploded without warning, the vehicle lost control and rushed straight towards her, and... the billboard collapsed inexplicably.

  If she hadn't been lucky enough and reacted quickly enough, she would have been a corpse that died in an "accident" by this time.

  A car that was very similar to Yan Li's car parked downstairs that he saw outside the amusement park suddenly popped into Wei Lilu's mind.

  Suddenly coming back to his senses, Wei Lilu shook his head vigorously, raised his head and drank the water in the cup. His fevered brain finally calmed down a little.

  It won't be Yan Li's. He couldn't and had no reason to do so.

  Putting the water glass in his hand on the bedside table, Wei Lilu opened the quilt and got in.

  The fine and soft down on the bed gently brushed against his skin, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh at the comfortable feeling.

  My toes touched a warm object, and when I took it out, I saw that the warm baby with a silly monkey face was lying quietly in my hand, and the warmth was transmitted from the fingertips to the bottom of my heart.

  But... isn't it too early to use this thing in this weather?

  After staring at the pair of beady eyes for a while, Wei Lilu reached out and turned off the light, then hugged it and retreated into the bed.

  Judging from the fact that the person hiding in the dark did not take action just now, the other party must be worried about something and does not want to involve other people in the family, and this also makes Wei Lilu more certain that the other party's goal is indeed real. That's him.

  After confirming this, unexpectedly, Wei Lilu felt a sense of relief.

  Fortunately, the other party came for her, not Wei Chengze; fortunately, the other party did not want to involve other people.

  As for the unknown reason and purpose, Wei Lilu felt that this was probably a fate that he could not escape.

  The hand holding warm baby tightened slightly, and the tip of Wei Lilu's nose was a little sweaty.

  She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. Finally, she silently took the things out of the bed and put them next to the pillow.

  It's really too hot to use this in this kind of weather.

  Without an untimely source of heat, Wei Lilu wrapped himself in a quilt and soon fell asleep. For a moment, the only sounds in the small room could be heard were her shallow breathing and the rustling sound of a fat hamster chewing something.

  The night outside the window became thicker, and the noisy road during the day fell into a deep sleep. Only a few cars occasionally turned on their headlights and roared towards an unknown distance.

  The door was suddenly opened gently, and the light from outside the door leaked in little by little. Wei Chengze looked at the sleeping person on the bed, with most of the quilt hanging on the ground. He couldn't help but complained in a low voice: "Why can't you change it now?"

  He walked over and carefully replaced Wei Lilu covered him with the quilt, Wei Chengze's hands paused slightly, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

  As if out of control, he let go of the quilt's hand and put it little by little on Wei Lilu's thin neck. The cold fingertips were tinged with warmth, and the powerful pulse beating under the palm was extremely clear.

  Looking at Wei Lilu's defenseless face, the look in Wei Chengze's eyes slowly turned dark.

  ——He only needs to tighten his fingers to easily block this person's breathing and extinguish this person's life.

  Just need...a little more force.

  Wei Chengze tightened his fingers unconsciously, and Wei Chengze frowned as he looked at Wei Lilu, showing an uncomfortable look, without any expression on his face.

  "Host?!" The sudden voice in his head startled Wei Chengze, and the strength in his hands suddenly relaxed. He staggered back two steps, lowered his head and looked at his fingertips with a hint of obvious fear.

  "Host, you just..." A little unsure whether Wei Chengze's current appearance was just faking, 5438 was a little frightened, "What do you want to do?"

  "Anyway, it's okay if it's not killing people." Wei Chengze lowered his hands that were shaking uncontrollably, Cheng Ze took a deep look at Wei Lilu, who was completely unaware of what just happened, then turned and walked out of the room, "I know I can't kill the protagonist." So I won't waste that time.

  5438:...

  Is it his illusion? Why does he think there is something in his host's words?

  Ignoring 5438's mumbling, Wei Chengze's lips slightly raised, and he gently closed the door, obviously in a good mood.

  He had known for a long time that he could not kill the protagonist with his own hands, but...he finally figured out just now where the rules crossed the line.

  I don't know why, but looking at Wei Chengze's appearance, 5438 always has the feeling that something super bad will happen next.

  Soon after, recalling what happened at this time, 5438 couldn't help but sigh at the accuracy of his intuition.

  But now, he was just guessing Wei Chengze's thoughts while complaining that the other party always kept his damn urine secret from him.

  Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually fading away, the person who was supposed to be sleeping suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the light coming in from the crack in the door, the look in Wei Lilu's eyes was a little complicated.

  In her last life, she had very few opportunities to sleep peacefully. If she accidentally slept too hard, she might lose her life in her sleep. Therefore, no matter how deeply she slept, as long as there was a little bit of moisture around her body If there is any movement, you will definitely wake up.

  Even if I change my body and the world, this habit has not disappeared.

  This habit saved her many times in the past, but now, Wei Lilu just hopes that she can sleep a little deeper, a little deeper, even if... The fingers holding the corner of the quilt tightened slightly, and Wei Lilu closed his eyes.

  Even if she really stopped breathing in such a dream.

  Lifting up the quilt and wrapping his head in it, Wei Lilu curled up into a ball and hugged the monkey's face, which had become much colder, tightly with both hands.

  Oblivious to Wei Lilu's mood, the hamster in the cage had enough fuss, puffed out its cheeks and got into its own nest, sleeping soundly with its body hunched over.

  The bedside alarm clock reached the set time and suddenly emitted a harsh ringing tone. The little guy who was sleeping soundly was so startled by the sound that he jumped up and almost rolled down from the hut.

  Reaching out to turn off the alarm clock, Wei Lilu raised his head and stared at the ceiling for a long time before slowly getting up.

  She thought that after what happened, she would not be able to sleep last night, but it turned out that she had indeed underestimated her mental capacity.

  Twitching the corner of his mouth, Wei Lilu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about this.

  Brush your teeth, wash your face, pack your schoolbag, and then sit down at the table with breakfast. Everything is no different from usual.

  Looking at the person sitting opposite her, who couldn't see anything strange, Wei Lilu opened her mouth, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Dad, you..." He paused, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. There was a trace of sadness, so fast that people thought it was just a momentary illusion, "Do you hate me?"

  Suddenly hearing this question, Wei Chengze couldn't help but froze. He raised his head and looked at this person who had the same appearance as his daughter - no, it should be said, this person was using his daughter's body, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

  "I..." He opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but the words in his throat could not come out no matter what.

  Wei Chengze knew how he should answer at this time, but looking at the face with a different expression than in his memory, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

  In the end, he just lowered his head and looked away from the other party.

  Seeing Wei Chengze's appearance, Wei Lilu's heart sank little by little, but she still looked at Wei Chengze stubbornly, hoping to get an answer from him.

  Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, Yan Li touched his nose, smiled and smoothed things over: "Why do you suddenly think of asking this? Who said what to you? Tell me, and I'll beat him up for you. !" After saying that, he looked at Wei Chengze again, "Why is the picture of Wei Lilu that he showed me when he was a child missing yesterday? This would be..."

  "No need," before Yan Li could finish. , Wei Lilu interrupted him, "I have already beaten myself." She smiled at Yan Li and continued, "I just want to remind you that if the teacher beats you because of this matter in two days, It's definitely not my fault that I called the parents!"

  After saying that, she dropped her half-eaten breakfast, picked up the schoolbag beside her and stood up: "Then I'll go to school first!"

  She looked at Wei Lilu running away in a hurry. As he left the house, Yan Li couldn't help but sigh softly: "Didn't we agree not to waste food..." As he said that, he glanced at Wei Chengze who was silent, said nothing more, and lowered his head. The head eats his own food quietly.

  As Wei Chengze said, in acting, you still have to do the whole thing.
