Then he jumped up and hugged her, wanting to get close to Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu caught her steadily. The momentum brought by the person almost made him lose control. If it was more serious, he might have fallen backwards. Then he would have had a perfect experience of sliding down the slide and saved two lives in one hug.

"Why did you get back so soon? Were you just hanging around here?"

The girl got off Xia Xiu, led him the way, took out the key and inserted it into the door.

"I was just wandering around outside. You don't want to go to school. Remember not to tell my family."

"If you ask me, I'll agree."

Xia Xiu agreed with a smile, but this answer caused dissatisfaction in the girl, causing her fat cheeks to puff up slightly.

He looked back and saw that outside the narrow corridor window, the sky was still covered with a layer of shadow.

That’s right, the building is not particularly tall, it’s just the second floor.

He suddenly touched the girl's head, and the intimate action made her puffed up cheeks deflate like a deflated balloon.

The second floor... is also three or four meters high...

After entering the door, the girl shouted energetically, "I'm back!", and then the virtuous aunt wearing an apron came out of the kitchen, and the wife with her ponytail tied aside said with a smile.

"Xiao Ke is back? Xia Xiu, are you here too? Please come in!"

"Hello, Auntie. I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Xia Xiu bowed politely and changed into a pair of cute slippers. The cute style seemed to belong to a silly girl.

"Then you and Xiaoke can play like this for now. I'm going to go cook first. Have fun!"

Auntie said this with a smile, as enthusiastic as ever.

Xia Xiu said a few polite words, then shuddered as he stepped into the house.

Why is the temperature so low?

He turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment. In fact, he had already observed the surrounding environment the last time he came. Basically, there was no major change, except that there were several pots of seasonal flowers on the floor of the living room that he couldn't name, and the fragrance was very strong in the house.

Xia Xiu sniffed and there seemed to be a smell of air freshener in the air.

He followed the girl to the sofa in the hall and sat down, smiling and asking.

"What's wrong? Why is the air conditioner in your house set so low? Are you planning to experience the feeling of winter in advance?"

The high-power air conditioner above my head is whirring away. The temperature should be around 16 degrees, right?

The girl peeled the orange on the table in a familiar manner, and then affectionately fed a slice to Xia Xiu.

"It's normal. Girls like low temperatures. Otherwise, they will sweat and feel sticky and uncomfortable."

Xia Xiu ate an orange, looked at the ceiling fan whirring above his head, and closed his mouth.

He really didn't understand the so-called daily habits of girls.

Chapter 258 Rotten Meat

The girl turned on the TV and handed the remote control to Xia Xiu.

"Why are you here so suddenly? We agreed to come in the afternoon. Your sudden attack... I was not prepared."

She pursed her lips, seeming a little aggrieved.

But Xia Xiu looked at the makeup on the girl's face and it seemed that she was not as unprepared as she said.

Xia Xiu looked around curiously. Although it was his second visit, he still felt it was somewhat novel.

"I told you before, it's boring to stay at home, look, I brought a gift with me."

Xia Xiu placed the gift box on the table, and the girl leaned forward to look at it curiously.

"What is what?"

"You really are not shy at all. You should at least wait until I leave before you take it down."

He looked at Fan Yanke, who was keen on unboxing, with some helplessness.

"What's the big deal? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours ≥﹏≤"

Unfortunately, when the girl opened the box and saw the fruit, her face wrinkled.

"What's wrong? Didn't you think I would bring something weird to visit you?"

Xia Xiu found it a little funny, then stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom.

But as soon as he made a move, the girl blinked her big eyes and asked.

"Xia Xiu, where are you going?"

"Toilet."

Xia Xiu shrugged and pointed to a room, fearing that he had gone to the wrong place.

"By the way, why don't I see your father at home? I didn't see him the last time I came."

He turned his head and asked casually as if chatting about family matters. The girl was taking out the fruits from the box one by one, and she spoke without even raising her head.

"It's almost National Day these days, and grandpa and grandma miss dad a lot, so they went back to their hometown first."

"You're not going?"

"I'm not going. I'm here to hang out with you during the National Day holiday."

The girl said with a giggle, and then pushed herself towards the bathroom.

"If you want to get in, hurry up. It's not good to hold it in and damage your body." He poked his head in. "Don't worry, I won't peek. The door can be locked from the inside."

Xia Xiu was pushed into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and felt that something was wrong, but there was also something he couldn't put his finger on.

It can't be haunted, right?

He urinated a little, and then his nose smelled a strange smell, a familiar, unforgettable, foul smell of rotting meat.

Xia Xiu sniffed again, but his sense of smell was not particularly sensitive. He looked around and there didn't seem to be anything strange.

Out of curiosity, he even leaned his whole body close to the toilet to take a look, but the toilet was very clean and he felt the urge to go to the toilet at first sight.

After coming out, he took a sip of the brewed tea. He didn't know how to drink tea, so he just took a big sip as if it were water.

"Xiao Ke, do you feel that there is a smell of rotten meat in your house? I think I smelled it just now. It's not good to keep this kind of stuff for a long time. Not only will a lot of bacteria and maggots breed, but all kinds of infectious diseases may also appear."

"Strange smell? Why can't I feel it?"

The girl tilted her head and looked around blankly.

"It seems to be here..."

Xia Xiu stood up and walked towards the refrigerator step by step. The closer he got, the stronger the faint smell became.

"Do you mind if I open the fridge and take a look?"

The girl came to his side without him noticing and squatted down with him.

"Open it, I don't know what's inside."

Xia Xiu opened the bottom layer of the refrigerator, where meat was usually placed. As soon as he opened it, a foul, nauseating smell hit him in the face, and the few breakfasts that Xia Xiu had eaten in the morning surged up from his stomach, and he forced himself to suppress them.

There were lumps of meat placed inside, which were wet and limp due to lack of freezing, hanging in the refrigerator compartments. The color had long since changed to a strange color, and was covered with a layer of fine fuzz.

But based on Xia Xiu's many years of cooking experience, the meat in it is just some ordinary duck meat, fish meat, and some bacon stored during the Chinese New Year.

"Ah this..."

The girl was obviously surprised as well, and she stood up and looked around.

"Oh no, the refrigerator thread got loose at some point, and I never noticed it..."

She gave him a mask shyly, then took the trash can, opened the refrigerator, and threw the meat into the trash can. Drops of yellow dirty water stained the floor along the traces. After throwing all the meat into the trash can, she immediately took a rag and a basin to wash the almost useless refrigerator box.

Xia Xiu stood there in a daze, wanting to intervene but having no chance.

"Aren't you girls all clean? This kind of work should be left to me."

This action made him a little surprised, a little shocked, and a little silent...

The girl shook her head and smiled, then rolled up her sleeves to show off her white but non-existent muscles.

"I'm not a flower in a greenhouse. I've been helping my family with all kinds of housework since I was a child. These things are nothing."

It’s so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.

Contaminated by the rotten meat, the whole room was filled with a faint strange smell, which could not be dispelled even after the girl took out the air freshener and sprayed it several times.

Xia Xiu wanted to open the window to let some fresh air in to get rid of the smell, but the girl pouted and said that it took a long time for the air conditioner at home to get down to a certain temperature, so if it was ventilated all the smell would go away.

She smiled at him apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I finally came here, but I didn't know it would be like this..."

She lowered her head, looking somewhat depressed. Xia Xiu sat beside her, patting her head and comforting her.

"It's okay, I don't mind..."

Although he said he didn't care, his eyes had already narrowed quietly, but it was hidden under his glasses and not easily noticed.

There are too many loopholes and coincidences in these things...

There were so many that he didn't even want to list them all.

"Why don't you go play in my room? It should smell less bad there."

She suggested this, but her face was a little shy, after all, it was her boudoir.

"Oh, that's right! But you have to wait for me to go in and clean up first!"

After saying that, he ran into the room excitedly and seemed to lock the door with a click.

Xia Xiu glanced at the door, then looked at Silly Girl's mother who was still busy in the kitchen, and walked alone into the utility room in the house.

He didn't believe what Silly Girl said. He only believed what he heard through the monitored phone last night.

Move the things in the bedroom to the utility room...

So, what exactly did you move?

Xia Xiu walked to the door of the utility room and turned the handle.

With a click, the door was locked.
