Chapter 3193 Stomach growling
Is this what the gray-haired girl meant?
……
"Yeah."
The gray-haired girl nodded casually.
"You are special."
……
He is special...
The boy rubbed his temples vigorously.
A sentence passed through his mind again.
"You are not human!"
the boy blurted out.
……
"Yeah."
The gray-haired girl stretched.
"I am not human."
……
Such an astonishing fact was said by the gray-haired girl in such a...not at all cautious tone...
A wry smile slowly appeared on the boy's face.
"Be more serious."
"This matter..."
It’s obviously an amazing thing-
No.
Very amazing thing.
The gray-haired girl's attitude would make him feel that his heart was shaking with lightning and thunder because of this incident... It was unnecessary.
But because of the gray-haired girl's attitude, the boy felt that he was slowly calming down.
……
"You are..."
The boy thought about what the gray-haired girl said, "Monster?"
……
"Hmm"
Another hint of impatience appeared on the gray-haired girl's face.
"I don't want to answer the same questions again."
"I am not human."
"I am a monster."
"Don't you understand?"
"Human beings are really stupid."
……
The disgusted human boy opened his mouth slightly.
Of course he understood these two sentences.
He's not stupid.
But the problem is that it is easier to understand than to accept.
Not to mention accepting it, he is still in the stage of trying to believe it.
Although judging from all the circumstances, what the gray-haired girl said should be true...
But...
Even he told himself this... again and again...
There was still some doubt in his mind.
……
Monster.
He is no longer a kindergartener.
He has long known that there are no monsters, no ghosts, no gods, no Buddhas, and no demons in the world.
This was the consensus of most of the humans he knew.
Of course he also knew that some people still believed in their existence.
But that's faith.
The teacher said that we should respect other people's beliefs.
Faith is different from feudal superstition.
They want to resist feudal superstition.
……
"Gululu~"
A growling sound interrupted the boy's thoughts.
The boy subconsciously reached out and covered his stomach.
He's...hungry.
Him:...
He found that he didn't want to talk about the gray-haired girl. As soon as his stomach growled, he felt nothing at all.
The boy took a deep breath.
"Gululu~"
My stomach growled one after another.
The boy was a little shy.
He had breakfast this morning.
He couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.
Is it already noon?
The boy suddenly became anxious.
If it's noon, then he has to go home.
Mom is waiting for him to eat at home.
……
The boy didn't have any props on his body that could tell the time.
Just...
He pressed his stomach hard.
Now that his stomach is "complaining" to him...
Then, it should be getting late.
……
"I'm leaving."
The boy looked at the... gray-haired girl on the maple tree.
The girl who claims to be a monster...
"It's almost noon."
"Mom is waiting for me to eat at home."
If it’s meal time and my mother doesn’t see him, will she be angry?
Thinking of this, the boy felt a little more anxious.
……
"You-"
The boy suddenly discovered that even though they had met twice, they still talked a lot...
But he doesn't know her name yet.
"What's your name?"
The boy looked at the girl.
"My name is Song Xiaxuan."
"Song in the Song Dynasty, Xia in the summer, Xuan in the Qiyang Dynasty."
"Xia is my mother's last name."
The boy chattered a lot.
But there has been no response from the girl. He was a little confused.
"You..."
"Gululu~"
My stomach growled again at an inappropriate time.
Loud and clear.
……
The boy pressed his belly harder and harder.
The feeling of hunger is not pleasant.
Why is he so hungry?
The boy was a little confused.
He didn't do anything?
……
Could it be...
The boy thought of a possibility.
Too much brain power?
After all, he really received too many shocks today.
He felt that his brain was not enough.
……
"What sound?"
The gray-haired girl looked at the boy curiously.
This was not the first time he heard this sound.
But it didn't pay attention before.
But this time, it wanted to know.
So he asked.
……
The boy was stunned.
Come again?
Thinking that this girl doesn’t even know the test papers...
But it’s not like you can’t even hear the cry of hunger, right?
Won't she be hungry?
Ah...
Will the monster be hungry?
The boy didn't know.
……
He pressed his belly again.
"It's my stomach growling."
……
"Stomach growl?"
The gray-haired girl looked at the boy's belly.
"Why does my stomach growl?"
……
"Because I'm hungry."
The boy said honestly.
"When you are hungry, your stomach will growl to remind you that it is time to eat."
"Didn't your stomach growl?"
the boy asked rhetorically.
……
"No."
The gray-haired girl shook her head.
"My stomach won't growl."
"I've never been hungry either."
……
"...Oh."
Unable to think of a better reply, the boy simply responded.
Actually...
"I've never been hungry."
The boy explained.
Although he didn't know why he had to explain?
But he just wanted an explanation.
He was not always hungry.
Occasionally he felt hungry because he didn't eat in time.
……
The gray-haired girl raised her eyebrows slightly.
oh.
Anyway, it heard the boy's stomach rumbling quite a few times today.
There was a hint of amusement in its eyes.
It turns out that when humans are hungry, their stomachs make noises.
fine.
This way you know you are hungry.
Hmm.
The gray-haired girl tilted her head.
But...
I'm hungry...even if my stomach doesn't growl, I should know that, right?
Otherwise...
Too slow.
……
From this point of view, when the stomach growls, it feels... more like telling others that he is hungry.
Does he want others to give him food?
Hey...
It’s interesting to think about it this way.
……
"I'm leaving."
The thunder in his stomach reminded him again and again that he had to go home and eat quickly.
It's getting late.
He doesn't want his mother to wait for him.
The boy waved his hand at the gray-haired girl.
Nothing more was said.
Turn around and leave in a hurry.
There was no looking back.
……
The boy who changed from a sprint to a trot stopped panting at the door of his house after a few minutes.
"Huchi~Huchi~"
The boy gasped for air.
He felt that running all the way was not as tiring as walking up the stairs.
……
After his breathing calmed down a bit, the boy took out the key and opened the door.
The aroma of food reached his nose.
