Chapter 64: The man in the cap
"Be friends?"
Who would befriend someone who seems mentally unstable!
Dương Khánh Vĩ noticed that Hoàng Tuân didn't intend to shake hands with him, feeling embarrassed, he withdrew his hand and looked away behind Hoàng Tuân.
At that moment, Hoàng Lan's gaze coincidentally met Dương Khánh Vĩ's.
Seeing him extend his hand for a greeting...
"Hoàng Tuân, is he your classmate?"
Inside the house, Hoàng Tuân's mother asked while knitting.
After hearing his mother's question, Hoàng Tuân was about to deny it, but Dương Khánh Vĩ spoke first.
"Yes, aunty, I am Hoàng Tuân's classmate."
"No, he is not my classmate, I don't know him."
Hoàng Tuân quickly corrected.
His hand was still on the doorknob, ready to close the door if anyone suddenly rushed in or something.
He didn't expect this person's presence to bring anything good.
After the incident with smoke and lurking, Hoàng Tuân's impression of Dương Khánh Vĩ was at its lowest.
Dương Khánh Vĩ was wearing the same outfit as last night.
But he didn't know if he had it dry-cleaned; there were no visible stains on the front.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that something was not right between the two, Hoàng Tuân's mother grew suspicious and walked towards the door.
Not sure if it was an illusion.
The moment she saw Dương Khánh Vĩ, Hoàng Tuân's mother's face changed.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes...
"Aunty, I am really Hoàng Tuân's classmate. I came here with him today."
Dương Khánh Vĩ said, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Classmate?"
The mother turned back to look at Hoàng Tuân and asked him to explain what was going on.
"A classmate came to visit me. I met him outside last night; he's not a friend or acquaintance, just a chance encounter."
"Last night, he not only blew smoke at me but also followed me home."
Hoàng Tuân recounted the events of yesterday truthfully.
He felt that this issue needed to be reported in time. Otherwise, if he was really being targeted by this weird guy, and furthermore, if this person knew the exact location of his house...
If it wasn't resolved properly, something unpredictable might happen.
Although Hoàng Tuân looked timid and submissive, he wasn't slow-witted.
In this situation where his father, mother, and he were all present, he didn't need to hide anything. Even if his mother scolded him later for going out secretly, he thought it would be better to explain.
Hoàng Tuân's voice wasn't low, and others could hear him when he explained.
Upon hearing that something was amiss, his father stood up and walked towards the door, holding the fireplace tongs used to poke the fire.
The strange thing was that even when Hoàng Tuân exposed Dương Khánh Vĩ directly, he seemed indifferent.
He only stared at this spot and let others see how his eyes looked.
"What are you doing here?"
His father's face was stern, being the pillar of the family, he questioned Dương Khánh Vĩ with a serious expression and tone.
His voice was deep and forceful.
"This family seems to be quite complete..."
Dương Khánh Vĩ replied indifferently.
Standing by the door, he propped up his chin and seemed to be thinking about something.
Many people thought that the young man in front of the house seemed a bit crazy. His father asked his mother for her opinion on whether they should drive him away or call the police.
If what Hoàng Tuân said was true.
This person followed him here; how could they invite him inside, being hospitable?
"If you don't leave, I'll call the police."
His father raised the tongs in his hand slightly, intending to threaten him.
However, Dương Khánh Vĩ simply ignored his words.
He took a step back and looked up at the house number of this place.
"It can't be that all of you are demons."
"Normally, if the entire house is full of demons, the atmosphere should be different, definitely without human breath, or the door would be closed tight, not wanting to see people..."
Dương Khánh Vĩ calculated each step based on the information he had.
While thinking.
He took out a cigarette for himself, lit it, and took a drag.
"So, that means... this student could be a demon of this world?"
Dương Khánh Vĩ looked at Hoàng Tuân and squinted.
The comfort he had brought with him slowly disappeared, replaced by an indescribable seriousness...
Hoàng Tuân looked at the burning cigarette in his hand.
Combined with his sudden change in demeanor.
He suddenly remembered being smoked by him last night.
A slight headache crept into his mind.
Unconsciously, he stepped back a bit...
"Hey, the son of this family is a demon."
"Nervous disorder!"
"Ahh!"
The door closed tightly, blocking Dương Khánh Vĩ from outside.
But the person who closed the door was not Hoàng Tuân; it was his mother.
At this moment, her face didn't look good; she had a serious expression while walking towards the sofa, continuing to knit her sweater.
"Wife, should we call the police?"
His father turned back and asked.
"Why call the police? Don't bother others with such trivial matters."
"If this person..."
"I said there's nothing. Don't worry."
His mother firmly rejected the suggestion.
Hoàng Tuân could say that his mother seemed to be somewhat opposed to something inexplicable that couldn't be explained, like calling the police.
Just like what happened to the girl yesterday...
After blocking Dương Khánh Vĩ outside the door.
His mother gestured for Hoàng Tuân to come over and explain how he met Dương Khánh Vĩ yesterday.
Although he couldn't fully understand his mother's reaction, Hoàng Tuân didn't think too much about it.
Afterward, he explained the process in detail.
Of course.
He changed the reason for coming to buy comics.
Saying that he went to buy stationery...
Dương Khánh Vĩ stood outside the door, looking at the tightly closed door.
He really felt strange about Hoàng Tuân's family.
From any perspective, it had nothing to do with the clue of a "demon family" that he speculated.
"Seems like this student knows something..."
Dương Khánh Vĩ recalled the moment when Hoàng Tuân opened the door for him.
Based on the impression he created last night, he felt that Hoàng Tuân shouldn't react like this.
"It looks urgent, but his mentality is very calm..."
"He must be lying."
"If he is a victim pulled into this world, why does he have to act so real?"
He thought until here.
Dương Khánh Vĩ stopped his movements.
The hand that was about to remove the cigarette from his mouth paused in mid-air.
The corridor.
A man wearing a cap, humming an indistinct song, was walking towards him with a dog on a leash, slowly heading to his own room's door. He took out the key and opened the door.
Seemingly feeling Dương Khánh Vĩ's gaze.
The man in the cap looked up and met his eyes.
Dương Khánh Vĩ quietly extinguished the cigarette, never taking his eyes off the man.
"Lê Gia Bảo?"
