I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 52: Why should those who make the rules abide by the rules?
"Is today Xinxin's birthday?"

Yu Yu was stunned.

"Yeah! Auntie, is An An here too?"

Xinxin looked behind Yu Yu expectantly.

"...An An will be here soon."

Yu Yu nodded, and a gentle smile returned to her face.

"Yeah! Yoho!"

When Xinxin heard that An An was coming too, she instantly jumped back and forth on the sofa excitedly.

"Mom also said An An has a cold and can't come!"

She was stomping around on the floor.

Yu Yu also changed into a pair of slippers.

"Is this your birthday present from your mother?"

She asked, looking at the partially assembled princess castle Lego toy on the ground.

"Yeah! We can fight together when An An comes!"

Xinxin took another big bite of cake and ate it, leaving a circle of cream on the corners of her mouth.

"Aunt Yu, do you know what the most delicious thing in the world is? Mom never told me!"

"Has An An eaten it?"

Xinxin licked her loose front teeth and asked vaguely.

"The most delicious... thing..."

Yu Yu did not answer.

She just leaned back on the sofa with a smile on her face.

But the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Crack!"

Outside the door, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock was heard.

Xinxin's mother opened the door carrying a bag of snacks and drinks.

But after seeing Yu Yu on the sofa, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

"Mom! Aunt Yu said An An will be here to celebrate my birthday soon!"

"That's the most delicious thing in the world, I want to eat it with An An!"

"An An is my best friend! I want to share with An An!"

Xinxin said happily.

"Xinxin, go inside and play Lego for a while. I'll chat with Auntie for a while."

Xinxin's mother handed the snacks in her hand to Xinxin.

"sleep."

But before Xinxin could answer, Yu Yu spoke.

Xinxin, who had just been full of excitement and energy, suddenly stopped and fell straight into her mother's arms.

Xinxin's father, who had just entered the house and changed his shoes, fell to the ground without any resistance.

"Xinxin..."

Xinxin’s mother’s face turned pale.

Only after she saw that Xinxin was really just asleep did she breathe a sigh of relief and carried Xinxin into the bedroom.

"Sister Yu, I apologize for what happened this morning. I had no choice."

"I never thought Tianqi would run away from home."

"When he was brought back this morning, I didn't expect him to reveal An An."

"I only knew it half an hour earlier than you. What can I do? Sister Yu, I can only follow."

As Xinxin's mother spoke, her eyes became red.

"I'm also a pet owner, Sister Yu. I know how it feels when your pets suddenly grow up and become out of control. I'm sorry, but I... sigh..."

She sighed and shook her head.

"You are just an owner..."

Yu Yu picked up the fork and inserted it into the cake.

As if a switch was touched, bright red blood flowed out, dyeing the entire cake blood red.

Then, she looked at the photo on the coffee table with an expressionless face.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

All traces of Gu Tianqi were erased.

"Yu Mei, Yu Mei, believe me, I really never thought about An An."

"If I had known earlier, I would have stopped Tianqi 100%. Even if it was for Xinxin, I wouldn't have dragged An'an into it! Xinxin likes An'an so much."

Xinxin's mother walked up to Yu Yu and said earnestly.

Seeing that Yu Yu didn't answer, Xinxin's mother took two steps forward and tried to hold Yu Yu's hand.

But Yu Yu dodged it.

"No matter what, it's my fault, but An An has proven her innocence."

"And we won't have another chance to raise people and livestock. We've already paid the price."

"Sister Yu, if you're still dissatisfied, I admit that you can do whatever you want, but not today, okay?"

"Today is Xinxin's birthday. It's the day my mother gave me Xinxin. She doesn't know anything yet..." Xinxin's mother said almost in a begging tone.

But Yu Yu shook his head.

"Who told you to make a mistake on Xinxin's birthday?"

"I……"

Xinxin's mother opened her mouth, then lowered her head in pain and self-blame.

But the next second, without even looking up, she raised her arm and suddenly stabbed Yu Yu's neck.

"stop."

Yu Yu spoke.

Xinxin's mother's arms were covered with inky scales at some point.

The blade-like nails were close to Yu Yu's throat.

But after this one word, Xinxin's mother's hand could no longer move forward even an inch.

"pat..."

Yu Yu's nosebleed dripped onto Xinxin's mother's sharp black nails.

She leaned back on the sofa.

On the snow-white, slender neck, a small cut oozed out a little scarlet.

"Uh……"

Xinxin's mother still kept her head down.

Her face turned red, and the four pupils in her two eyes kept separating and then gathering in her eye sockets.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her body at all.

"look up."

Yu Yu wiped the blood from his nose.

Xinxin's mother raised her head irresistibly, as if her hair was pulled by an invisible big hand.

"Sister Yu, I never thought Tianqi would report An An, but Tianqi has never lied."

"He has many shortcomings, all the shortcomings of humans and animals, but he never lies, let alone that flight attendant."

Even though her hands were still raised, Xinxin's mother spoke as if nothing had happened.

"I know."

Yu Yu nodded.

"An An was sleeping in the surveillance video, there is no doubt about that."

"So I suspect Tianqi was framed. Someone created an illusion, or someone turned into An An's appearance."

"This group of people just wants to instigate us and make us kill each other."

"Especially at this time! This is a trick of humans and animals!"

As Xinxin's mother spoke, the two pupils in each eye socket kept shaking.

It looks extremely weird.

But Yu Yu always looked into Xinxin's mother's eyes.

After hearing what she said, Yu Yu actually burst out laughing.

"I know."

Her face was pale and blood was still flowing from her nostrils.

"...Then you still..."

Xinxin’s mother became even more confused.

"I know An An did go out last night."

"I know An An did lie."

"I know An An wants to leave."

"I know An An already knows everything."

With every word Yu Yu spoke, Xinxin's mother's face turned paler and her eyes became more terrified.

After Yu Yu finished speaking, the room fell into silence again.

"impossible……"

"...Yu Mei, you are kidding me."

"How could you possibly not eat people and animals after knowing this?"

Xinxin's mother said in a trembling voice.

"I raise people and animals, and I eat them when I want to, and I don't eat them when I don't want to."

Yu Yu said lightly.

"impossible……"

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"No one can disobey the rules? No one can, no matter what..."

Xinxin’s mother murmured.

But Yu Yu just looked at her with a smile on his face.

“Why should those who make the rules follow them?”
