I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 53: My dear, Mommy loves you too

“You…what did you say…?”

Xinxin’s mother stood there in a daze.

But Yu Yu smiled and said nothing.

"Sister Yu, stop joking..."

"An An doesn't know anything. An An is the most obedient and well-behaved person-animal I have ever met. Today is Xin Xin's birthday..."

"Xinxin can't live without me..."

Seeing that Yu Yu’s nosebleed had stopped, Xinxin’s mother’s heart trembled.

“Don’t die in the community.”

Yu Yu said, tilting his head.

There was no emotion in his eyes.

"No! Take it back! Take back what you just said!"

Xinxin's mother's face was full of fear. She stood up uncontrollably, stepped over the door where An'an's father was sleeping, and opened the door.

"Shh, don't make any noise, Xinxin is sleeping."

Yu Yu stretched out his index finger, put it in front of his mouth, and watched Xinxin's mother leave home.

"Clap clap clap..."

Her nose started bleeding again.

But Yu Yu simply stuffed two pieces of paper in to block it.

Then he walked straight to Xinxin's room and put his hand on Xinxin's forehead.

"what!!!"

A few seconds later, Xinxin screamed and sat up suddenly as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes wide open.

"Kakakaka..."

The dense scales emerged from under her skin like bamboo shoots after the rain, and then disappeared like the tide.

The nails become longer and the teeth become sharper.

The pupils in his eyes kept splitting and trembling.

With her as the center, the entire room was instantly covered by a gloomy chill!

"Oh!"

But the change only lasted for half a minute, and Xinxin turned back into her childish and lovely appearance, falling straight onto the bed.

"Your mother had an accident. She loved you very much."

"You will never hurt Lin Xing'an."

"You will always..."

Yu Yu's voice became smaller and smaller.

The blood had seeped through the two pieces of paper, staining her raincoat red.

"Oh!"

Her body swayed, and suddenly she fell straight down.

After a long time, Yu Yu sat up again in a daze.

His pale face was covered in blood.

"This……"

She looked at the blood on her fingertips, held her head, and her eyes were full of confusion.

After being stunned for a long time, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes gradually became clear again.

"This body is getting weaker and weaker..."

"I can't stay here much longer..."

Yu Yu stood up and muttered.

And while Gu Xingxin was sleeping, two tear marks appeared on her face.

……

……

"I'm so sorry to bother you, but we're going back home tomorrow..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Just let Xinxin treat it as your own home. An'an, take good care of Xinxin."

Yu Yu waved to Lin Xing'an.

"Ok!"

Lin Xing'an hurried forward and pulled Xinxin back to the bedroom.

"Xinxin..."

Looking at Xinxin's eyes that were swollen like walnuts from crying, he didn't know how to comfort her.

On Saturday morning, Xinxin's mother and members of the committee came to his house to see him.

On Saturday night, Xinxin’s mother was in a car accident.

Xinxin's father's hair turned white almost overnight.

Lin Xing'an then realized that that day was Xinxin's sixth birthday.

Xinxin's mother had an accident on the way to buy snacks for her.

The driver was drunk and speeding on the zebra crossing, and Xinxin's mother died on the spot.

but……

How can this be?

How could a glutton die in a car accident?

Lin Xing'an closed his eyes and let out a light breath.

After that day, Xinxin, who was originally sunny and lively, became silent and taciturn.

I have no appetite every day.

I always shed tears silently on rainy days.

The originally delicate and slightly chubby face became thinner in just two days.

But she seemed to be even more attached to Lin Xing'an.

Xinxin can only eat when Lin Xing'an is around, and occasionally she will smile for the first time in a long time.

So these days, after kindergarten, Xinxin’s father always asks Yu Yu to help take care of Xinxin.

"An An, I'm going back to my hometown in North City tomorrow morning."

"This is for you."

Xinxin took out two bracelets from her schoolbag and handed one to Lin Xing'an.

She made this today at kindergarten using those colorful plastic beads. There is a yellow five-pointed star in the middle.

"Thank you."

Lin Xing'an put the bracelet on his wrist.

"I made one for my mom too..."

But Xinxin's eyes became red again.

She looked at the other one, pursed her lips and wiped away a tear.

Seeing this, Lin Xing'an was silent for a long time.

Then he sighed, as if he had thought of something, and took out a small conch the size of half his palm from the drawer of the desk.

He picked it up on the beach when he and Yu Yu went to the beach at the beginning of this year.

"Xinxin, if you miss your mother, put the conch shell to your ear and close your eyes, then you can hear her voice."

"Really...really?"

Gu Xingxin sobbed and put the conch to her ear doubtfully.

"Did you hear that? That's mom talking to you in another world. She's just protecting you from where you can't see her."

"So you have to eat well and sleep well from now on."

Lin Xing'an patted Xinxin's shoulder and comforted her.

"Mom, woo woo woo, mom, I miss you so much, mom..."

"Mom, please come back. I won't be picky about food anymore. I won't eat snacks or drink beverages randomly anymore. Mom..."

Hearing the sound coming from the conch shell, Xinxin fell into Lin Xing'an's arms and burst into tears.

Lin Xing'an sighed softly and looked up at Yu Yu outside the door.

Yu Yuze silently closed the door and turned to leave.

It wasn't until after dinner that Xinxin recovered.

Although her face was covered with tears, she didn't seem that sad.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a series of knocks on the door.

Outside are their friends who play together in the yard every day.

"Xinxin, I knew you were at An'an's house. Here! This is what my mother asked me to give you."

Xiaole pouted and handed Xinxin a pink cartoon Polaroid camera.

She bought this with her own New Year's money. She wears it around her neck every day and doesn't let anyone touch it.

"Hmph, I...I didn't want to come in the first place, it was my mom who forced me to come."

Seeing Xinxin's puzzled expression, Xiaole hurriedly turned his head away and stuffed the Polaroid camera into her arms.

"Xinxin, this wooden comb is for you. I don't know what girls like..."

Junjun said, scratching his head.

"Xinxin, my dad said that the four of them can live for hundreds of years without eating or drinking. I'll let them accompany you from now on!"

Jinjin took out a small transparent plastic box from her bag, which contained four newborn turtles.

"Thank you...thank you everyone..."

Xinxin accepted everyone's gifts and her eyes became red again.

"Alright, alright, follow me and give the young couple some space!"

Xiaole's mother waved quickly.

"Oh, Mom, I want to play with An An for a while too..."

"Tsk, there will be time to play later..."

Xiaole was reluctantly pulled away by his mother.

Only Lin Xing'an and Xinxin were left in the room.

"An An, Dad said that this time he goes back to North City, he might not come back for many years."

"Were we still good friends then?"

Xinxin packed everyone's gifts, held the conch, and asked reluctantly.

"Of course it is."

Lin Xing'an nodded.

But the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

Considering the number of humans in this world, Xinxin is most likely a confused person...

From now on, I will basically never have the chance to meet him again.

However, even if there was no such accident, Lin Xing'an planned to use the summer camp and Teacher Orange's cover this weekend to kill the illusion ghost and completely eliminate the mark.

And even if they meet again in the future, what will their identities be to each other?

"Yeah! An An and Xin Xin will always be good friends!"

"Hook and hang! No change for a hundred years!"

Xinxin stretched out her little finger and finally a smile appeared on her face.

"An An, goodbye!"

She took her father's hand and turned around to shake the conch in her hand.

"Goodbye."

Lin Xing'an also shook the simple bracelet.

Lin Xing'an closed the door only after Xinxin disappeared from his sight.

"My dear, if mommy leaves, will you be sad too?"

Yu Yu stood behind Lin Xing'an at some point and gently placed his hand on his shoulder.

"meeting."

Lin Xing'an nodded.

"Then can you say I love you to your mother?"

"……I love you mom."

Lin Xing settled down, lowered his eyes, and spoke softly.

"My dear, mommy loves you too~"

Yu Yu smiled and rubbed Lin Xing'an's hair, letting Lin Xing'an lean in her arms.

A drop of blood from her nose stained her pale lips crimson.
