Chapter 8 Chapter 08

How could he forget to lock the car?He loves his car so much.Wanjiang has been thinking about Humphrey's abnormality all day long.Renren had two female classmates who came to visit and took all the food and drinks to her bedroom to eat and drink.They closed the door tightly, and muffled rock and roll came from inside.After lunch, Renren ran to the basement and borrowed Kamehamia and black cat Li Bai from Su.After that, the door of Renren's bedroom was closed again.There were three phone calls to Renren. Humphrey knocked on the girl's door, but Renren said she would not answer the phone.Humphrey asked Wanjiang to go in and see if the girls were taking drugs.

Wan Jiang brought a bowl of fruit salad, knocked on the door, and saw that the three girls were all crazy and sweating.The black cat was sleeping soundly in the arms of a white girl, and Renren and another Asian girl were coaxing the parrot to speak.The Caucasian girl wore purple contact lenses in her eyes, and Renren and another Asian girl turned their eyes green in the same way.They each wore blackened lipstick.The girls thanked Wan Jiang with an open gesture of disapproval. When Wan Jiang exited, he found Humphrey standing at the top of the stairs with an ugly expression on his face.He asked Wan Jiang if he had noticed anything suspicious, such as the smell of marijuana in the air.Wanjiang told him that the girls just put on lipstick and changed their eye color.Humphrey smiled coldly, saying that it was all a cover, and the girls were hiding in the bathroom and smoking marijuana.At this time, the long whistle of a police car suddenly came from Renren's bedroom, which was extremely horrific.Humphrey walked over quickly and knocked hard on the door.There was an uproar of laughter inside.Humphrey yelled, "Renren. Open the door for me." The laughter grew louder, and the honking of the police car became louder and shriller.Gentleman Humphrey didn't do anything, and pushed open the door violently, and saw three girls lying on the ground laughing, the parrot raised its head slightly, and let out a long cry of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".The black cat Li Bai half opened his eyes, revealing two golden eyes.

Wan Jiang couldn't help laughing too.The bird's former owner lived in a residential area, and the police car passed by frequently, so it learned to imitate the siren. Humphrey couldn't step down.He was stunned for a while, and then said to Renren: "Students, please go home." Renren stopped laughing all of a sudden, and asked, "Why?" "It's getting late, the party can end." Renren looked at his old stepfather and said, "It's only six o'clock." Humphrey said, "It's over." "Why?" The girl looked at the slightly green Humphrey from behind the green contact lenses, "We didn't mess with anyone."

The conversation between Humphrey and Renren caused the two girls who were guests to turn their faces away.They didn't understand their Chinese, but they roughly understood that the two had started a dispute. "It's okay to have a taste of weed, but not too much. If I were me, I wouldn't think smoking weed was cool. I wouldn't use my house to entertain people to smoke weed." Renren said: "I didn't invite them to smoke marijuana in my house." "I wouldn't ask them to smoke weed in the bathroom." Renren wanted to refute fiercely, but suddenly lost interest.She whispered in English: "Come on, let's say what you like."

Humphrey's words stung her deeply.He knew that girls all over the world love to sting people, but this sting came from Renren, he was still a little surprised.Humphrey quickly restrained himself and closed the door for the girls. After all, he did not lose face and exited with dignity.Wan Jiang thought, he didn't lose many lawsuits in his life, and even if he lost, he was so unruffled and his prestige remained undiminished. From inside the closed door came the parrot siren.But there was no laughter.The crazy parrot felt bored and stopped halfway through the call.Soon, the girls' mother drove to pick them up.

Humphrey was calm and silent at dinner.Renren peeked at him from time to time.At first she remained calm, her face was snow-white, and she was as steadfast as a female martyr.Gradually, she found that Humphrey's calmness was genuine, not just an act to fight against her.The girl couldn't stand it anymore and said at the end of the dinner: "I'm sorry, I lied." Humphrey said, "I understand that." He took a sip of mineral water with ice cubes. "If it were me, I would lie too. I lie because I still know right and wrong in my heart, right?" Renren looked at him without saying a word.

"Lying shows that a person is shy about what he does," Humphrey said. "I would have said I didn't smoke marijuana." Wan Jiang was packing up the dishes when he saw Su coming up from the basement.She was carrying a plate with a piece of bloody beef in it.She opened the microwave door almost silently.Then the faint light in the microwave came on, shining on the sizzling beef, and the blood foamed richly.Pink foam overflows the plate and runs on the glass turntable.A few minutes later, Sue's dinner was ready.She always sprinkled salt and pepper on the meat and started eating it.The knife and fork rose and fell, and a piece of blood on the plate was mutilated. Su also chewed deliciously and swallowed smoothly.Wan Jiang saw her sitting on a bar stool, her face was still washed yesterday, half of her facial features were covered by her withered hair.Su listened to the conversation between Humphrey and Renren through the glass door.At the same time, he cut off a piece of beef that was still alive and put it in his mouth.She tastes very elegantly, and there are remnants of the ladyship cultivated by Humphrey.Her knife and fork also moved quietly, flashing Humphrey's ideal.Wan Jiang walked past her and saw that the light cast a floating shadow on her cheek, which was very pale golden.That is Su's too long sideburns. It can also be said that Su is a woman with a dark beard, but the color of the beard is light, and it needs a certain angle of light to make it appear. Su rarely accepts invitations to family dinners. Have dinner whenever you want, and eat whatever you want.

The kitchen smelled of thick blood.Humphrey couldn't remember what this smell was about for a while, so he wondered for a while.At this moment, he caught sight of Su who was about to slip out of the back door of the kitchen.She was going to enter the basement from the backyard stairs. "Sue," Humphrey called. Suru Mao smiled bloodily.Such as wearing a baggy T-shirt with "Transformers" printed on it, which was probably worn by a big boy a few years ago, with big shorts underneath and two bare feet.Whenever there is garbage in this luxurious house: thread socks with holes, ninety-nine cents lipstick, barrettes, or musty second-hand sweaters, jeans, and T-shirts, it must belong to Sue.

"Do you have a minute?" Humphrey asked. "May I have a word with you?" He looked at the woman.She is the daughter of his caucasian ex-wife, who looked like an angel many years ago.Humphrey can't see Sue a few times a year, and he always feels traumatized when he sees her: driven by lust, his white ex-wife ran away with a man ten years younger than her, and left Sue, who was six years old, to him.The ex-wife favored Louis, and fought against him for the two-year-old Louis, but she lost the case, losing Louis to Humphrey.That is to say, there is a trauma in Humphrey's life, a trauma that takes Su as its shape and is as silent as Su.

Su said, "Of course, of course. I'm fine." Knowing that Humphrey was afraid of looking at her hair, she hurriedly used one hand as a comb to gather her long hair back.In fact, she hasn't combed her hair since Louis threw away her comb. Wan Jiang felt nervous, a stainless steel spoon fell out of the stack of plates she was holding and hit the marble floor. "Where do you work now?" Humphrey asked. "It's at the pet store." Su said. Humphrey looked at her nose, which had changed color from drinking.This nose made Su look like a homeless person.At this time, Renren walked out of the dining room, carrying an empty mineral water bottle and a fine linen dish mat. Seeing the situation of Humphrey and Su, he made a face at Wanjiang.

"Which pet store?" Humphrey asked. "It's the original family." Su replied. Humphrey took out a piece of paper out of nowhere, and flashed it at Su. "This is a pet hospital. The female veterinarian said that you don't have to go to work tomorrow." He pushed the small piece of paper in front of Su. Su's face turned red quickly.The depth of red is still not as deep as the nose. Wan Jiang gently rinsed the dishes.Renren gently put the dishes into the dishwasher. "The truth is, you've long since stopped working at the old pet store. Right?" Humphrey said. "I don't want to know why they fired you. Because there can only be one reason." Su shook his head in panic, his bare feet hanging between the stool and the ground.A person should not sit on a high stool when squirming.Like Su, who doesn't touch the world and doesn't touch the ground, it seems even more passive and isolated.Wan Jiang was cooking a frying pan, and Ren Ren had already opened a towel and was waiting to dry it.Both are distracted.In other words, the two of them were listening intently to the conversation at the bar. "So how many hours do you work every day at this pet hospital?" "I attend work according to their needs. It depends on how many pets are boarding. Sometimes the three dog handlers are too busy." Su said, "For example, last week, I worked more than sixty hours." Humphrey remained silent.As soon as he keeps silent, you can't wait to speak and defend yourself.She said she was sorry for Humphrey, but she didn't mean to hide it from him.Every day she wanted to tell him, but every day she missed seeing him.She said she thanked him for bringing it up.Humphrey remained silent.His silence stimulated her further, made her babble more, and made her babble all the more superfluous and stupid.She said she doesn't really care about losing her regular job at the pet store because she prefers the job of a dog handler, where she deals more with people, while the latter only involves dealing with animals.When dealing with animals, you realize how easy the world is.Animals make you feel how cold-blooded, hypocritical and hateful people are.Humphrey was just that quiet, with a slightly amused look on his face.She finally realized that if she continued talking like this, it would be impossible to end the situation, so she paused nervously.Then she added: "I hope you will forgive me, Humphrey." "Forgive you what?" Humphrey was in a daze, as if he didn't know who he had such great authority to forgive. "Forgive me for lying," said Sue.
