we are just monsters

Chapter 18 Is It Okay?

"Why did you let it go and wait for it to come back?" Xia Xiaoman was very puzzled why Gu Cheng did this, and even more puzzled that the black cat really appeared.

"We've had some...conflicts before."

"Oh, you hit it before." Xia Xiaoman understood a little bit.

"It's a little worse than that. I want to ease the relationship with them. At least I don't have to hide all day. Seeing me is like seeing the plague god. If possible, it's best to let go of the past."

What Gu Cheng said was the truth. He has not many old friends in his life. If he dies, he will lose one. If he can get along well, it would be a good thing to reunite to catch up on the old days and enjoy life in the new era together. good thing.

The times are different now, and the only remaining aliens are lingering, or hiding in the quiet and deserted places like rats in the gutter, or disguised to integrate into human life.

Lilith is a human being, and it is not difficult to integrate into human life. There are some other old friends, and life may not be so easy.

It is very possible to secretly poke and hide where he is hiding, while worrying that he will find him, while secretly accumulating strength, thinking about when he will see the light of day again.

After hiding for hundreds of years, the human beings who rode horses with broken knives in the past are now flying into the sky, possessing the power to easily destroy the world, and their wishes will probably never come true.

How can individual power compete with modern technology?
Even if they add one piece to become a calabash, it is only a matter of one missile. If it doesn't work, just add two more.

Thinking of the current technological power, Gu Cheng would be secretly startled, as if it was a miracle, the age of sailing was just opened one second, and the nuclear bomb was invented the next, three to five hundred years, it can be called earth-shaking changes.

When the battery car drove into the school, Xia Xiaoman got down from the back seat, and hugged his lower back by the way. Under the watchful eyes of the security guard, Gu Cheng just paused and looked back as if nothing had happened.

Xia Xiaoman had already slipped away, and made a face at him from a distance, laughing loudly.

In the office, Li Mingcheng stared at the cup intently, and knocked it with his hand from time to time. The old physics man was mysterious and didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Ms. Li, here is some tea, try it?"

Gu Cheng came in to pack up his things, took out a cup and said to Li Mingcheng.

"Oh? Let me see."

Li Mingcheng picked up one and sniffed it, and didn't say anything until he brewed a cup and tasted it. The old man wanted to pretend, but he didn't.

Before Gu Cheng came to Baicheng, he lived incognito in the mountainous area, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and it was almost impossible to see people outside when it was dark. This is the scented tea left at that time. It is not bad, with a light fragrance.

Chen Mengmeng clicked every day. When she entered the office, Gu Cheng and Li Mingcheng were holding a cup each, sitting next to each other without talking, one was looking at the decorations on the table, and the other was looking slightly sideways at the window.

man...

Chen Mengmeng coughed, and she didn't know what they were thinking about. She felt that Gu Cheng was most likely thinking about Gundam fighters, while Li Mingcheng was purely wandering.

"Teacher Gu is a bit old-fashioned."

"Maybe it's because I'm introverted." Gu Cheng said.

"You can't see it when you're on the podium."

Chen Mengmeng often saw Gu Cheng giving lectures, but she was able to teach two classes at once at a young age. She came late, but Li Mingcheng mentioned that she was supposed to be a temporary substitute, but it has been like this ever since.

And it's still Chinese, as long as you can explain the science stuff thoroughly, one is one, two is two, the liberal arts acting class is easy, and the reverse is a bit difficult. Chinese pays more attention to the teacher's knowledge and expressive ability. Not enough to talk about.

She killed pigs in her previous life, taught in this life, killed people in her previous life, and taught Chinese in this life. Chen Mengmeng thought she was a fool before thinking of being a Chinese teacher. Anyone can give advice on this class. In classical Chinese, the principal can avoid trouble if he doesn't understand the old stuff, but after seeing Gu Cheng give a lecture, he no longer thinks so.

"Where did you go on the weekend?" Chen Mengmeng picked up a glass of water with a glass of water. She is not the class teacher and is usually free. "I saw someone who looked like you on the way to Xishan Park. Did you go to Xishan Park on Saturday?"

Gu Cheng withdrew his gaze from the window and said, "Maybe it's me. I met some friends."

"old classmate?"

"Friends are not the same as classmates." Gu Cheng laughed.

"Hey……"

Chen Mengmeng put the water aside, stopped chatting, took out her phone and began to scan.

Xia Xiaoman, who was at the school gate, hadn't left yet, and stayed here for a while, wanting to go in with Gu Cheng to have a look.

There is no reason, just thinking about what Gu Cheng looks like standing on the podium now after decades, whether it is still the same as before while holding a ruler to lecture, and knock him if he is not serious.

Just thinking about it, she actually knows that there is no ruler now, at most she can throw the end of a chalk to remind the students who are distracted in class.

The old security guard at the door swept his eyes across the street, not even noticing Xia Xiaoman who was pacing leisurely in front of him, even though she had been here for most of the day.

Xia Xiaoman squatted at the base of the wall, and understood Chen Hua's mood when he was bored. Watching the sparrows flying around on the branches is something that can only be done if it is boring.

There is no similar smell inside or outside the school, and even if there was before, it was cleaned up when Gu Cheng arrived.

Letting out a long sigh from her throat, she stood up again and planned to enter the school to take a sneak peek, then suddenly remembered that hug Gu Cheng just now, and stopped in her tracks again.

This won't work, I just ran into it after a bit of skinning, it might be worse, maybe I will be whipped by a bamboo stick.
-
When school was over in the afternoon, Gu Cheng didn't see Xia Xiaoman at the school gate, probably because he was afraid that he would settle the score in the morning, so he avoided the scene of the crime, hoping that he would forget when he left the school gate.

Gu Cheng didn't rush away, but looked to the far right, where there was a black cat turning its head and getting into the grass. When he looked over, only the buttocks and tail remained.

The green bushes trembled slightly, and then went away at a fast speed.

Gu Cheng withdrew his gaze, didn't follow, and rode a battery car back home.

Xia Xiaoman stayed in the living room reading a book, as if nothing had happened. When she saw Gu Cheng coming back, she raised her head and thought for a while, then got up from the sofa to greet her, like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, and smiled softly, "You're back?"

"..."

Gu Cheng looked at her calmly, Xia Xiaoman reached out to take his bag.

"Can you hold it for you?"

"I can't seem to hold it."

"Shouldn't be a ghost, be a ghost bride?" Gu Cheng asked.

"Is it possible?" Xia Xiaoman was pleasantly surprised.

Then Gu Cheng tapped his head with his fingers, and there was a very firm thud.
