Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 315 Wedding Banquet
Still, I still sat in.

Gao Tianyi sat motionless at the round table, his heart bent forward in frustration.

What a mistake. I didn't expect Bai Su to agree so quickly.

They were standing at the door before, and the little girl asked an adult she knew to come out to help her get her dog back. What followed was inquiries about their identities, and the conversation also saw the invitation that Gao Tianyi grabbed in his hand. Then it went on smoothly.

The villagers had already seen the invitation in his hand, and it was obviously inappropriate to tear it up at that time.

There seems to be only one way left in front of the young man, which is to quickly think of an excuse to refuse.

However, Bai Su responded faster than a human boy could think of a reason.

The black-haired young man nodded and said, "Yes, I came to eat...for the wedding banquet."

Bai Su opened his mouth and said that he was passing by yesterday and was curious about the customs in the village. As a person whose hobby is making videos, he came here with the task of collecting folk songs.

Even, in order to confirm his statement, the black-haired young man took out a camera with his backhand.

One thing to say, even Gao Tianyi didn't see the trick, where the camera came from, and where the camera was hidden.

He did know that Bai Su had brought a camera. It was put in their bags when the special department arranged the personnel, but he didn't see Bai Su bring it out in the past two days.

So, where is it hidden?

Until he was brought in, the young man still couldn't understand whether this was a magic trick or a magic method.

"Of course - a little trick." Bai Su held the camera and took a photo of the yard where people were coming and going, drinking and drinking.

After taking the photo, Bai Su zoomed away from the camera and admired the photo he took.

I can’t say it’s perfect, I can only say that the focus is not right, the portrait is extremely blurry, and you can barely see the eyebrows, but the expressions on the face are not clear.

Fortunately, Bai Su was just pretending and didn't bother with the camera that was kindly provided by the special department - I heard it was requisitioned from an employee and paid for it afterwards.

After taking a picture, the black-haired young man put down the camera, picked up the chopsticks, and reached for the fried small yellow croaker on the plate on the table.

Gao Tianyi: "Wait--Brother Bai, I think we can still save him!"

Bai Su: "Um&%#...um*&￥#%￥."

Gao Tianyi: "...Speak in human terms."

The black-haired young man swallowed the small yellow croaker that he bit into two pieces without spitting out the bones, and pushed the remaining tail into his mouth.

Finally, he held up his cheeks and said, "You should eat some too."

The black-haired young man turned the plate and dragged the food closer: "You are all sitting here, you can't escape, right?"

Whose fault is this!The human boy complained crazily in his mind, but he didn't have chopsticks.

He was still trying to struggle, although it seemed useless.

Bai Su just said casually that the human boy didn't move his chopsticks, and he just laughed at it.

While he was eating, he was looking at the other villagers in the yard.

Bai Su and Gao Tianyi were sitting in a corner. As the villagers said before, they were afraid that they would not be familiar with the people at the same table, so they arranged for Wen Jianyuan's wife, whom they had only met once, to come over later.

Bai Su said yes, and then asked if he had a relationship with the little girl in the red skirt, should he also give her -

The considerate adult refused on behalf of the little girl before Bai Su could finish his words. He looked at Bai Su with eyes full of unspeakable words, a bit like he was guarding against bad guys.

The black-haired young man spread his hands, thinking that the little girl was too sensitive.

He doesn't have any bad intentions, he is just a ruthless worker.

I went to eat the dog again at night.

Humming a tuneless tune in his heart, Bai Su still remembered that the human boy who was considered his companion was sitting next to him, but he didn't hum the weird syllables.

Most of the villagers in the courtyard knew each other. Except for a few lonely ones who were in a circle, the rest were standing or sitting in twos and threes, and some were huddled on the other side, as if waiting for the bride and groom to come out.

Human beings' joys and sorrows have nothing to do with Bai Su. He just comes to eat.

But the wedding process still had to go on. After everyone arrived, everyone sat down one after another, and the bride and groom with smiles on the opposite side also came out.

"It's a bit fake..." The young man complained in a low voice, "The smile is a bit ugly."

Gao Tianyi's voice was very soft, completely drowned in the applause, cheers and boos of the crowd.

Because it is a Chinese-style wedding, the bride and groom, who are dressed in bright red wedding attire, inevitably have to perform some traditional rituals. They do not go as far as worshiping the sky and the earth and bowing to the high hall, but they also have to bow to their ancestors and guests.

The officiant began to speak and invited witnesses. After a series of people walked away, he also began to tell the love story of the groom and the bride.

Not to mention how wonderfully well-written the story is, you can tell from the trivial things the officiant told about it from his childhood that there is not much material in the story, which makes it sound dry.

The bride and groom had unchanged smiles on their faces, and they were not much moved after hearing the story. Instead, their smiles faded a bit when they heard some details.

By the time the toast came down, Baisu had already been eaten.

The relationship between the bride and groom is not important to the villagers, nor is it important to Bai Su. Maybe only Gao Tianyi is still struggling there.

"Hey Brother Bai, let me tell you, is this an arranged marriage?"

"Gurgling..."

"It feels like the smiles of the bride and groom are also very forced. Do they not want to get married at all?"

"Grumbling..."

“Brother Bai—Brother Bai, are you listening!”

The minor held the chopsticks but did not reach out yet. He turned his head to the side, but before he could completely turn around, a chopstick of fish came out of his bowl.

As a last resort, Gao Tianyi's neck stiffened, and he looked away stiffly.

On the other side, sitting there was Wen Jianyuan's wife.

Wen Jianyuan accompanied Qi Zhuyue and the others to the village doctor and was absent from the wedding banquet. Only his wife sat at the same table.

The middle-aged woman looked at the young man with concern, while taking another chopstick of food.

"Eat, don't just sit there." The words full of concern made Gao Tianyi shudder.

How does he eat?The middle-aged woman just picked up a fish eyeball with her chopsticks. The cooked fish eyes were hardened and turned white, and it felt like they would jump to the teeth after one bite.

And... what kind of dish would pick out all the fish eyes and cook them in one portion?

Gao Tianyi blinked twice.

The first time I saw the dishes on the table, they were normal. The color was bright, the meat was tender, and the dishes were steaming hot right out of the pot.

The second time, the scene changed.

If young people take another look at it, it seems that they will undergo a san check and undergo mental pollution.

Strange-shaped alien fish, a raised fish tail, raw fish eyes staring straight at people... If the dinner we had at Wen Jianyuan's house that day was still within the scope of normal, this meal now is considered perfunctory. I didn’t want to act anymore, so I exposed all the abnormalities in front of people.

But... was everything he saw real?
Gao Tianyi blinked twice more, and the picture suddenly changed.The corners of the young man's lips lowered again and again, and he almost stopped puckering.

He lowered his head and looked at his bowl. The eyes of the fish in the bowl were now the whitest color of cooked teeth, and the next time they were alive and unyielding.

Want to eat?He didn’t want to eat, but the middle-aged woman was looking at him.

This time, there was no Baisu to attract attention, or there were too many people at the table. Even if the outside guests were taken care of and not filled up, the eyes of more than three strange villagers turned slightly.

Involuntarily, the human boy stretched his chopsticks into the bowl under pressure.

Bai Su on the other side was eating and found that there was no sound around him. He was lamenting that the fish that grew randomly looked ugly, but the taste after cooking was acceptable. Then the black-haired young man turned his head and found that the human boy's whole head was falling into the bowl. go.

There was a bang, but fortunately someone else reached out in time, causing Gao Tianyi's head to hit the table instead of the bowl.

Baisu:?
Bai Su: What happened?
The black-haired young man asked doubtfully, and Wen Jianyuan's wife, who was smiling kindly at the side, said, "You must be drunk."

Bai Su looked around and couldn't find any wine on the table: What should I eat to get drunk? Drunken shrimp?

Besides, who has no problem giving alcohol to minors?
Facing the villagers who were obviously telling lies, the black-haired young man bit his bamboo chopsticks and didn't say anything. He just pushed the human boy's shoulder. After finding that the human boy couldn't wake up after being pushed, he pinched the human boy's face twice with his hands.

After squeezing, he took back his hand and continued to work hard on the dishes on the table.

Even though the bride and groom came to toast, as an outsider Bai Su only raised his eyebrows.

The sky and the earth are big, and the dry rice is the biggest.

The villagers did not react to Bai Su's indifference. Although he participated in the wedding banquet, as a participant, Bai Su could only serve as a backdrop.

Rather, the villagers were happy to be prejudiced against Bai Su for eating so much "fish".

As for why the black-haired young man still sat calmly after ingesting such a large amount, the villagers secretly couldn't figure it out. All they could do was bring more dishes to the table, trying to "drink Baisu" drunk".

With both one large and one small fallen, they could naturally arrange for the person to "rest" somewhere else, then turn around and inform their companions that the person was "drunk"——

So, why are you still sitting?
The gaze extending from somewhere in the kitchen passed through the crowd who were about to have their wedding ceremony, and went straight to the table in the corner.

Suddenly, the black-haired young man raised his head and looked in the direction of his gaze.

A fleeting glance, but it brought a huge amount of pressure.

But this seems to be the illusion of the owner of the gaze.

The person in the dark saw that the black-haired young man's gaze did not pause, and continued to look upward past his location, finally stopping at the crowd of people about to have a wedding.

Regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, after three rounds of drinking and the wedding banquet was over, time couldn't be delayed any longer, and Bai Su was still sitting there.

In fact, the process and duration of this wedding banquet were irregular, as if it was held just for the sake of being held, but humans didn't care and the monsters didn't understand.

After the villagers took away the last plate, Bai Su clasped his hands together, burped, and smiled with crooked eyes: "Thanks for the hospitality."

"Ha...ha, where." The villager smiled awkwardly, picked up the plate and left.

A good wedding banquet made Bai Su feel like he was going to a restaurant. He didn't pay attention to the subject of the wedding. No matter how festive the atmosphere of the wedding banquet was, in Bai Su's eyes it was not as good as a plate of carefully cooked dishes.

Maybe not as good as the dog next to the little girl in the red dress.

The black-haired young man stood up, touched his flat belly, and then bent down to pat the face of the sleeping human boy.

The young man lay there heavily, with his face pressed against the table, leaving a few red marks. He let out a few vague responses to Bai Su's patting, like a young animal snoring.

The breath he exhaled was hot and filled with excess moisture.

--Wow.

The black-haired young man took back the hand that was placed in front of the human boy's nose, took Gao Tianyi's collar, and lifted him off the stool.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Bai Su repeated again, and then he took the person and planned to leave.

After taking only two steps, someone from the side stopped him.

The villager stretched his hand forward in vain and looked at Gao Tianyi.

"Is this boy drunk and asleep? Do you want to stay here and rest?"

"No need." Bai Su gave up his hand and avoided it easily, "I'll just take him back."

"It's going to be very tiring. This kid looks pretty strong. It's better to stay here and rest -"

"I said, no need." Bai Su read it again, his black eyes slightly narrowed, "Or do you plan to keep me here for another meal?"

The black-haired young man deliberately emphasized the word "eat".

Bai Su rolled the syllable in his mouth again and again, and licked the sharp canine teeth.

An expression that makes you want to devour everything you see.

The villager who stopped him froze, and then he stepped aside as if he had received some order.

Bai Su glanced in the direction of the kitchen again, and continued to carry the human boy out until he disappeared through the door with the guests, his back invisible.

The villagers who failed to stop him also turned around. After returning to the kitchen door, the villagers closed the door.

There was only a little wet water stain left on the edge of the door.

……

Bai Su held Gao Tianyi and stood at the intersection of the village, thinking about where to go next.

When the wedding banquet ended, it was like a drama that had come to an end.

Where is the next scene?Maybe tomorrow.

There were pieces of red paper under the soles of the feet, and the debris left by the explosion of firecrackers fell scattered on the ground. I didn't know if anyone would come to clean it up.

The mud dots mixed with the red paper, turning the red paper into a dirty dark color.

Alas, that big yellow dog also ran away with people... Let me send a message first to ask about the situation of humans.

The mobile phone is a great invention of mankind.

The black-haired young man held the human boy with one hand to prevent him from lying on the ground. As for how he stood, he couldn't control it. There was nothing he could do about his trousers getting muddy.

The other hand was typing, and he asked how the "illness" on the other side was doing.

Xia Chengyin ignored him, but Tang Nuo gave him the reply.

The human first sent a long string of ellipses, and then a few words. It was a bit difficult to explain clearly. After being torn between the voice and the specific text description, the human chose to take a video.

Perhaps because they were in the same village, the circle in front of the video was loaded after just a few turns.

The cover showed a blurry shadow of the floor, and then the camera moved up to faithfully record the scene in front of it.

The video lasts for just over 30 seconds. A woman with a bewildered face and a low ponytail sits in the back, her wrist resting on a pulse pillow, and a doctor-like person is taking her pulse.

In front of them, a short-haired police officer and a middle-aged man were arguing.

　Sorry, I have a dinner party today. I just got home.
