Chapter 8: Frightened

This month is the end of this month, also called the Ghost Festival.

I really don’t understand why foreigners attach great importance to this festival. Maybe life itself is too boring.

Don’t believe too much about the wonderful things that overseas Chinese show in your circle of friends. In fact, in the United States, most of the time is to live and most of the rest is boredom and loneliness.

Because of this, independent people are always independent, and vulnerable people are particularly prone to getting together.

The little girl gradually adapted to life here. Although she was tired of coping with her studies, I think she was very smart and adapted quite quickly.

One evening, I just entered the house after get off work, and the little girl also came back, holding a pizza box in her hand.

I always use the food you cook, how about eating pizza today?, the little girl raised the box in her hand.

Yes, can you bake?, the little girl looks in a good mood today.

There is an explanation above, what's the difficulty?, after that, he went to the kitchen to tinker.

When baking pizza, the little girl kept guarding the oven, probably afraid of something else.

Jack, are you here to take a look?, After a while, the little girl shouted.

I went over and took a look and said, "Well, it's almost done, bring gloves to take out the pizza."The little girl followed and said that it looked delicious.

Cut the pizza open, pour the juice, and it's supper.

Don’t say that Fangmei, your skills in baking pizza are pretty good, better than tomato and egg noodles., I joked.

Let's make fun of me, you.The little girl tasted very delicious.

I can tell you Ah, Fangmei, pizza has a lot of calories, be careful to gain weight., I scared her and said.

The pizza in the little girl stopped.

If you don’t care, just be fat, I’m so hungry., and then started eating again.

I'm kidding, eat more and you look thin.

Yeah?When I come to the United States, I feel like I'm fat., the little girl said while touching her slender waist.

Oh, by the way, the money my dad sent has arrived, I will transfer the money to you.

Don't worry.You'd better give me cash., I don't want to pay more taxes because of my rent income.

Why?Can't transfer money?the little girl asked.

I don’t want to have tax issues in the future. I will pay cash for the contract. You can go back and take a look.

Oh, then I'll get the cash to you tomorrow.

I continued to eat and chat, and as I talked about cooking, I talked about her mother.

By the way, Fangmei, maybe I shouldn't have asked Ah.Why didn't your mother have it?

Oh, my mother had a car accident and I died in my first year of high school.

Alas, things are really impermanent.

It was Ah, and it was very sad at the time.Or I can get into a better university., the little girl seemed to recall the sad past.

Look forward, you are pretty good now, you are all here to study abroad.Do you miss homesick?

Home?Unexpectedly, my dad found another woman, and I was purely unnecessary at home.I will stay away from them in the future when I get married., there is also a story in the story, and I don’t have to ask too much.

After chatting for a while, I simply cleaned up the kitchen and went back to my house.

The next day was a rainy day, so I took the little girl to school.

On the way, I saw the houses in the community, decorating a bunch of dllar shops for Halloween everywhere, and I thought I had to buy some candy and come back, what if the children come to make trouble in the evening.

Why do they like to do this Ah so much? It looks scary., the little girl asked.

This is their culture.I can't figure it out, either.However, you can dress up and pretend that you want candy to go to the night, probably you can.

Not interested.Tonight, my senior sister asked me to attend a Halloween party, but I refused. I was timid and just stayed at home tonight., the little girl still doesn't look like a local custom.

It seems that you really don’t like this festival. Now people are celebrating Halloween with great fanfare., I said.

Those are merchant promotions, haha.A scam to buy things.The little girl understands quite well.

I sent her to school and I went to work.

On the radio, if children are watching for safety when they want candy, they also reported that horror clowns have appeared in many places.

The United States is not a paradise, and it is becoming increasingly uneasy.

When I go to work during the day, many colleagues wear csplay clothes, and the atmosphere is very lively.

I bought candy on the way off work and put it in the basket at the door. Some children would pick it up by themselves, so I didn’t have to come out and give it to them one by one.

I made a meal after I arranged it, but the little girl hadn't come back for a long time. It was past 9 o'clock, so she must have been taken to the party.

I sent a few kids to ring the doorbell wildly, and I felt like I was doing nothing, so I found a movie to watch.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.

A rushing knock on the door scared me.Who is it that if you don’t click the doorbell, who is so reckless?

I walked quickly to the door and looked through the glass and it was beautiful.

I opened the door and the little girl rushed in.I held her and felt her trembling.

What's wrong? This is?

The little girl cried and couldn't say a word.I locked the door and quickly helped her to sit down on the sofa.

The little girl let me hold her and patted her on the shoulder.

She seemed to slowly calm down, but she still cried.

Me, I was robbed.

Snatched it?

The little girl nodded violently.

Where is it?Injured?When I checked, I found that the little girl had a scratch on her elbow.

What's going on?,I asked.

One, one clown snatched my bag.After saying that, he cried, his handsome appearance was heartbreaking.

Horror clown?It's okay, it's okay, I comfort her.

He won't come with him.The little girl cried and was very excited.

It's okay, I'm there.The door is locked.

I stood up.

You, what are you doing?

Oh, don't be afraid, I'll get some medicine and apply it to the disease., After saying that, I took the medicine over.

The scratch was not serious, so I applied some iodine wine. The little girl cooperated very obediently and didn't look so scared.

But it seems that I still feel scared.

If you lose it, just lose it, as long as the person is fine., I comforted her.Instead, she cried loudly.

I was at a loss for a moment.

I just withdrawn a thousand dollars and it is for you, woo.The crying sounded a little louder, as if it was about to collapse again.

Don't cry, don't cry.

I hurriedly held her hand and comforted her.

Let’s avoid disaster if you lose money, don’t need money.

Woo woo, my dad will scold me to death if he knows.Woo woo.

Don't tell him.I have to worry if I know.

Woooo, he is not, woooooo.Then what should I do if I owe you money.The little girl calmed down a lot and remembered the follow-up.

If it really doesn't work, forget it, I don't want it anymore., I am not only soft-hearted when I hear people crying, but also confused.

How can that work? Woo woo., still cry.

The little girl leaned on me unknowingly, arousing my desire to protect and men.I felt an impulse, and hugged her shoulders tightly, grabbed her hand and held it.

The little girl obviously felt it, pulled out her hand, moved, and sat upright.

Well, I, I'll think of another way, borrow some from my boyfriend and return the money to you., said the little girl.

No, I don't mean that.No need to give it to me, I don’t have those few hundred dollars.After saying that, I got up and wanted to leave, but I felt inexplicably disappointed.

That, can you sit with me for a while?, the little girl said hesitantly.I'm still scared.

OK, I'm fine anyway., I sat down again, a little further away from her.

It was a silence, and no one knew what to say, which was a little embarrassed.

I want a beer, do you want it?, I stood up and broke the deadlock and turned around to ask her.

OK, just one bottle.

I brought two bottles of beer and some snacks.

There is no wine, only some potato chips are left, just make do., I said.

What job does your dad do?, I have nothing to say.

Oh, he does business.The little girl answered after drinking a sip of wine.

Big boss Ah, then you should make a lot of money., I said.

I don't know, it's never been difficult to ask for money from him anyway., another sad thing.

As I talked and chatted, it was late at night and I yawned.

It's still early, go upstairs and go to bed.Don't be afraid., I said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl's WeChat rang.When she saw it, she said it was my classmate, so she waved her hand and went upstairs.

I cleaned up the table and heard the little girl upstairs shouting, "What?"What?are you sure?

The call behind was not loud, and I didn't listen carefully, so I went back to the room.

Turn on the TV and didn't want to watch it.

I thought to myself, JackAhJack, who are you? I want to take advantage of others today, right? I am simply a beast.

I thought again, JackAhJack, pretending to be a gentleman, who has a thief heart but no courage, hesitating without some courage, is simply worse than Ah!

The more I think about it, the more irritable I feel. In addition, today I feel more stuffy and uncomfortable.

So, I turned on the computer and projector and wanted to play AV.How can those AV actors, their artificial performances and exaggerated expressions match the beautiful and youthful body?Suddenly I felt bored.

At this time, with a creak, my door was pushed open.

Through the dim light in the room, I saw a slender figure standing at the door.

-- It's beautiful.

I was shocked and hurriedly turned off the computer and projector.

No need to shut down, Jack, I know you guys all see this.Fangmei said, and came in and closed the door with her backhand.

What are you doing?, my tone is still very panicked.

Fangmei didn't answer, and got closer.I just saw that she was wearing only shorts and underwear, pure white and scattered hair.

I was stunned for a moment, at a loss.

Jack, my boyfriend, not my ex-boyfriend, that bastard went to check in with someone yesterday.

Fangmei's tone was very calm, and there seemed to be no expression on her face.

After saying that, Fangmei raised one hand and slowly reached towards me.
