I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 4 Are you alone so late? What... are you thinking of doing?
"Huh, here it comes..."

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Xing'an saw Yu Yu's car driving into the community.

"If we get home at this time, it will be almost eleven o'clock by the time they fall asleep."

"It might be past midnight when I get to the train station..."

Lin Xing'an glanced at the time.

After twelve o'clock, the only trains left are long-distance green trains.

Although it's slower, theoretically, by the time Dad gets home from his night shift at around 7:00 the next day, he'll almost be out of the province.

By then, won’t the sea be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly?
"Baby, what are you thinking about? Why don't you say hello to your aunt when you see her?"

"Hello, aunt."

"Hey, An An is so big now? He looks a bit manly now. Come here, give your aunt a kiss!"

Yu Shi pulled Lin Xing'an over and looked him up and down.

She is 60% similar to Yu Yu, especially when she smiles, she also has two faint dimples on her face.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xing'an was also full of love.

They look like sisters at first glance.

Lin Xing'an sometimes often wondered, since Yu Yu was a monster, did that mean that Yu Yu's entire family were monsters?
But he is already six years old and has never seen his grandparents.

I have never heard Yu Yu say that.

"Let's go, baby. Your aunt hasn't eaten yet. Let's play tomorrow."

"Yeah! Bye Xinxin! Bye Xiaole!"

Lin Xing'an quickly caught up with Yu Yu's pace.

"An An, look at the prawns that Auntie brought from the beach. They're so fresh. I'll peel them for you later!"

After arriving home, Yu Shi patted the large foam box in his arms and said.

Yu Yu prepared hot pot and took a bottle of wine from his father's wine cabinet.

"Why? You want some too?"

Seeing Lin Xing'an staring at the wine, Yu Shi said jokingly.

"The teacher said drinking is not good, aunt, you should drink less."

Lin Xing'an reminded in a serious tone.

"Oh, you're so sensible, you even know how to care about adults."

Yu Shi rubbed Lin Xing'an's head.

"Well! Sister, this wine is so good that my brother-in-law himself couldn't bear to part with it, and we drank it. Is this okay?"

"Humph, if it doesn't work, what can he do?"

Yu Yu said with a pout, looking very happy.

The hot pot was bubbling, and the two of them started chatting while drinking.

Lin Xing'an observed Yu Yu silently.

After just two bites, Yu Yu's face turned red and his eyes became a little blurred.

"Mom, I'm going to take a bath and then read a book before going to bed."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Xing'an also spoke obediently.

"Go, baby, take a shower and wipe yourself clean before coming out. Don't catch a cold. Mommy and auntie will chat for a while."

"Ah."

Lin Xing'an returned to his room, took a shower and got into bed.

Listening quietly to the noise outside.

After five or six minutes, the only voice outside was my aunt's.

In less than half an hour, Yu Yu was helped into the room by her aunt and lay down next to Lin Xing'an.

"Baby……"

Yu Yu, drunkenly murmured, hugged Lin Xing'an and kissed his face lightly.

Then he turned over and fell asleep.

After five or six minutes, the lights outside went out.

Lin Xing'an waited patiently for another half an hour until there was no sound in the living room.

Yu Yu's breathing beside him had become very steady.

In the darkness, Lin Xingan sat up.

"Mother."

He looked at Yu Yu's face and called out softly.

"Mother."

He shook Yu Yu's body gently again.

"Mom, I need to go to the bathroom."

Seeing that Yu Yu had no reaction and was completely asleep, Lin Xing'an walked down from the bed silently.

He held his breath, pressed the door handle and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Gah...squeak~"

Although the sound was very small, it was very clear to Lin Xing'an's ears. Fortunately, Yu Yu was sleeping very soundly under the influence of alcohol.

The faint moonlight in the living room shone into the room through the crack in the door, illuminating half of Lin Xing'an's face.

"Mom, goodbye."

"Goodbye, monster."

He looked at Yu Yu's gentle face in the darkness and closed the bedroom door.

"Crash..."

But suddenly the sound of flushing came from the bathroom in the inner room.

Immediately afterwards, my aunt walked out of the bedroom yawning.

Lin Xingan's heart skipped a beat.

"...An An? It's so late...what are you doing instead of sleeping?"

Yu Shi's voice came faintly from behind.

Lin Xing'an paused for two seconds, then turned back sleepily, "I want to go to the bathroom."

"Isn't there a toilet in your bedroom?"

"Mom is asleep, and I'm afraid of waking her up."

Lin Xing'an said without changing his expression.

"...You're so good. Go ahead. Ah... Auntie is going to sleep first... Tomorrow Auntie will make you a shrimp and egg custard."

Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, nodded, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and then went back to the bedroom yawning.

Only after seeing the light in his aunt's room go out did Lin Xing'an press the flush button.

The fake sleepiness on his face disappeared instantly, and his expression became slightly serious.

Because what he was wearing now was not pajamas at all.

And it looks like an outer garment that you can wear when going out.

Lin Xing'an looked at his reflection on the TV screen in the living room, took two deep breaths, and calmed down.

Maybe... I can wait until I'm older, the time is more mature, and I'm more prepared before leaving?
No, no, we can’t wait!

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. The more you hesitate, the more mistakes you will make!
What's more, this is Dad's last night shift this month.

"Ten forty..."

After glancing at the time, Lin Xing'an didn't hesitate any longer. He pocketed some change and put on his shoes.

He took one last look at the bedroom and then opened the door.

The cold wind blowing back in the corridor made a hollow sound.

Before closing the door, Lin Xing'an took away Yu Yu's car keys hanging at the door.

"call!"

Only after getting outside did Lin Xing'an breathe a sigh of relief.

But this was only the first step in his departure.

"Bang bang bang..."

My heart, which had been surprisingly calm at home just now, was now beating wildly with excitement.

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

He raised his head, looked at the scimitar-like bright moon, and then threw the car keys hard into the grass.

Not being able to find your car keys can delay things for a while.

“Practice driving for a thousand days, use the car for a moment!”

Lin Xing'an got on his small bicycle and pedaled hard towards the Xiaoxi Gate where there was no security guard.

Because it is a school district house, most of the residents are elementary and junior high school students.

So the entire community is empty at this point.

On the dark road, only Lin Xing'an was riding his bicycle at full speed.

The warm breeze of the summer night blew on his face, and the chirping of crickets and grasshoppers occasionally reached his ears.

The depression of being held captive by the monster accumulated in his chest. If the environment allowed it, Lin Xing'an really wanted to shout out to release it.

"At this speed, I can reach the train station in half an hour."

Lin Xing'an felt as if he had endless energy, so he sped up and pedaled again.

Exiting from the west gate is a bumpy dirt road that has not been repaired. Just cross it and you will be close to the station.

Moreover, there were no street lights along the road, and there were empty building frames on both sides.

Although it is very eerie and scary, there is no need to worry about being discovered!
"Should have brought a small flashlight."

Lin Xing'an thought as he rode.

But just as he reached the corner of Xiaoximen, a beam of flashlight suddenly shone over.

Lin Xing'an's face changed, and he had no time to brake or dodge, and he rushed into the center of the flashlight's light.

"Ah, be careful!"

"...Huh? ...Anan? Is that Anan?"

"An An, you are alone so late? What do you want to do?"
