Chapter 213: A Man Climbs In From The Balcony
“Where is your mother then?” Jiang Yuan looked at Little Gecko Xiao Chui expectantly.
Little Gecko Xiao Chui looked at her with bright red eyes, “Yuan Yuan, my mom went to my brother’s house.”
Jiang Yuan: “Where is your brother’s house? Is it far from here?”
Little Gecko Xiao Chui: “Actually, it’s not that far. Do you want to go?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Yes, please take me there.”
“Then the reward will be doubled,” Little Gecko Xiao Chui made a demand.
“No problem.”
“Okay, then put me down, and I’ll lead the way.”
Jiang Yuan crouched down, placing the back of her hand on the ground.
Little Gecko Xiao Chui left her palm and crawled onto the ground, looking back at her, “Yuan Yuan, follow me!”
Little Gecko Xiao Chui crawled very fast, and Jiang Yuan had to concentrate to see its figure.
“Xiao Chui, wait a moment.” Little Gecko Xiao Chui crawled out of the kitchen window, and Jiang Yuan quickly called out to stop it.
Little Gecko Xiao Chui turned its head to look for her again, and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”
“How about you call your mother over?” Jiang Yuan pointed to the window and explained, “There’s a protective net here, I can’t get out.”
Little Gecko Xiao Chui froze for a few seconds before reacting. It looked at the window and then at Jiang Yuan, sighing, “You humans are really too big!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s eyes were tinged with a smile, “Yes, we are giants.”
“Then wait for me here.” Little Gecko Xiao Chui said and crawled out of the window again.
Jiang Yuan raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch. It was 2:43.
She waited for fifteen minutes and saw three geckos crawl in along the window sill.
Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up, and her tone was filled with a trace of joy, “Xiao Chui, you’re back.”
“Yuan Yuan, I called my parents back!” Little Gecko Xiao Chui tried to crawl towards her but was held back by its father.
“Brat, you’re a gecko, not a real tiger!” Gecko Father said helplessly, “Humans are so dangerous, how dare you rush over?”
“Dad, this human is very nice!” Little Gecko Xiao Chui said, “She also promised me that as long as I answer a few questions, she’ll give me delicious snails!”
Gecko Father disagreed, “You brat, you dare to believe what humans say? Wife, look how silly our son is!”
“It’s all your fault for being such an incompetent father!” Gecko Mother’s tone was tinged with a bit of resentment, “If you could catch snails for our son every day, why would he be tricked by humans?”
Gecko Father opened his mouth, unsure how to refute.
Little Gecko Xiao Chui said unhappily, “Dad, I’m not silly. I believe Yuan Yuan, she won’t lie to me!”
“You, you!” Gecko Father said annoyedly, “You’re too naive, you don’t know how wicked society is! We geckos are harmless to humans and we prey on pests, yet many of our compatriots have died at the hands of humans!”
Gecko Mother sighed, “Yes, what your father said is true.”
Hearing the conversation of the gecko family of three, Jiang Yuan also felt a bit emotional.
Gecko Father was right. Geckos do not attack humans, and most geckos are non-venomous, but many humans harm geckos out of fear.
“Hearing what Mr. Gecko said, I feel very sorry,” Jiang Yuan’s tone carried a trace of apology, and she said slowly, “But humans are good and bad. Some humans not only harm geckos, but they also harm their own kind.”
“That’s true,” Gecko Mother said, “I saw humans killing humans the day before yesterday. Some humans are really perverted.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s gaze fell on Gecko Mother, and her eyes showed a trace of expectation, “Ms. Gecko, did what you said happen inside this house?”
“Yes,” Gecko Mother nodded, “I just heard Xiao Chui say, you came to ask about this?”
Jiang Yuan: “Yes, that human escaped after committing murder. We need to catch him now. Can you tell me what happened at that time?”
“Of course,” Gecko Mother immediately agreed, her tone filled with indignation, “Such a detestable human, we must catch him!”
Jiang Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and said gently, “I’m going to call another human in now. Don’t be scared, we won’t harm you.”
Gecko Mother and Gecko Father discussed for a moment before saying, “Okay.”
“Xiao Xu, come here for a moment,” Jiang Yuan called out.
“Okay,” Xiao Xu quickly walked into the kitchen, “Jiang Yuan, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Yuan looked at her and said softly, “Ms. Gecko saw the crime scene that day. I’m asking her now, please record it.”
“Okay,” Xiao Xu nodded, took out the notebook and pen she carried.
Jiang Yuan looked at Gecko Mother again, “Ms. Gecko, what did you see on the day of the incident?”
“We had just woken up from our nap that day and were playing with Xiao Chui,” Gecko Mother fell into memory.
That afternoon, Xu Keyan came out of the bedroom in her nightgown to the living room for some water.
She felt a bit hungry at that time, so she went to the kitchen to cook instant noodles.
Xu Keyan sat at the dining table, playing on her mobile phone while eating instant noodles.
Suddenly, a man with curly blonde hair climbed in from the balcony and shouted, “Little Xu!”
“Ah—” Xu Keyan screamed in fright, her chopsticks falling onto the table, unable to hold on.
“Hahahaha!” The blonde man burst into laughter, “Look at you, you’re so timid!”
Xu Keyan recognized who it was and was no longer so scared. She raised her hand and patted her chest, saying angrily, “You bastard, you scared me to death!”
“Scared?” The blonde man sat next to Xu Keyan, reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, “Come, brother will give you a hug, to give you a sense of security.”
Xu Keyan pushed him away, her expression showing dissatisfaction, “What are you doing here?”
“I missed you,” the blonde man’s hand landed on her thigh again, “Came to see you.”
Xu Keyan pushed him away again, frowning, “Just talk, can you stop touching me? And why did you come in from the balcony?”
“Aren’t we a CP? Can’t even touch each other?” The blonde man took out a lighter from his pocket and played with it, “I like to do things differently, it’s stimulating~”
“To clarify, that’s a CP in a game, don’t bring it into reality,” Xu Keyan moved her chair, putting some distance between them, “How did you know my address?”
The blonde man fiddled with the lighter, triumphantly saying, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll find out myself.”
“How did you find out?” Xu Keyan pressed.
The blonde man grinned, “Express delivery. I picked up a delivery box from the trash can downstairs in your residential community.”
Xu Keyan’s brows suddenly furrowed, and a sense of unease arose in her heart, “You… why do you have to know where I live?”
“I want to be able to see you anytime,” the blonde man turned to look at her, blinking one eye as if flirting, “Little Keke, I really like you. All this effort is just to see you, aren’t you moved?”
