Chapter 36 Part II, Verse 37: Cicadas on the Eighth Day (37)

The interior also resembles a school.There is a shoe cabinet at the entrance, and pastel paintings adorn the white walls.The painting is a very ordinary flower.Kumi and I winked, took off our shoes and went inside.The cold touch of the slippers surged from the soles of the feet. Wen Dai was talking quietly with the two who came forward to greet them.The long-haired woman holding Kaoru said to us: "It's very late today, let's go through the formalities tomorrow. I'll take you to your room first and let you rest." Still holding Kaoru in her arms, she walked across the corridor and up the stairs.Kumi and I followed behind.I was worried that Kaoru would cry when she woke up, but she slept peacefully in the arms of a stranger.The building was silent, and the sound of the slippers Kumi and I made reverberated.Although it is quiet, it has a human breath, a breath of life.If there seems to be nothing, it exudes the smell of sweet pastries.No confetti in the corridors or stairs.Although it looks like a school, the quietness and cleanliness remind me of the term monastery.

The woman took us to a small room around Erping.Beige sackcloth curtains hung over the windows, bunk beds lined the walls, and there was a stainless-steel desk.That's all the furniture. It's a very deserted room. "The washroom and toilet are at the end of the corridor. The bathroom is on the first floor. There is a set time for bathing, but there is still time to go." The long-haired woman said to Kumi and I who were looking around the room in a daze. "Also, I will bring the documents later, please complete the necessary matters before tomorrow." The woman smiled softly, hugged Kaoru and wanted to leave the room.

"Well, please return Kaoru to me." I stood in front of the woman in astonishment. "Oh, her name is Xiaoxun. Don't worry, we will take good care of her." "Huh? What, how can I do that? Don't bother you, I will take care of it myself." The woman suddenly looked at me with a pitiful expression. "Then you should sleep here too today." She whispered to the sleeping Kaoru, and gently handed it back to me. The document brought by the woman is full of strange questions.Although there is a column for name and date of birth, there is no column for address and telephone number.But having said that, they asked the bottom line from the elementary school to the highest education.Employment records must also be completed in as much detail as possible.I filled it out with the mood of writing a resume, but some childish questions such as "favorite color" and "what I don't eat" appeared.I was wondering how seriously I should explain, but I still filled in the answers one by one, and finally wrote the column of the bank account I currently hold and the amount of deposit.

Suspicious group, persuaded to join, I remembered what Kang Zhi said, if you want to live here, do you have to give all your savings with both hands? The door opened suddenly, and I was startled and turned around quickly.Kumi walked in with wet hair, wearing the same long-sleeved T-shirt and sweatpants as the woman before. "The bathhouse is very comfortable like a hot spring. And there is no one there. There are towels and soap. It's a pity that there is no hair dryer. In the dressing room, underwear and T-shirts are already placed. I dare to borrow the T-shirt, but the underwear is a little bit That's it. You also go to take a bath? If it is inconvenient to take the baby to take a bath together, do you want me to help?" She finished speaking without panting, and moved her head closer to my hand.Probably seeing the word bank account, she glanced at me and said, "Here, it is said that all the money will be abducted."
