The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me

Chapter 76

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Ji Mingxia saw a dark shadow drift past him.

He took a closer look and saw the shadow form a figure and stand at the door of the house, waving at him slowly.

The mountains in the distance were dark, the rice fields outside the village were dark, and it was dark inside Grandma Ji’s home.

For Ji Mingxia, the only source of light at this moment was the street lamp on the roadside of Banana Leaf Village.

But the street light could only reach the courtyard of the Ji family at most, and could not shine into the house.

The humanoid shadow stood at the intersection of the courtyard and the house. It stood there silently, waiting for Ji Mingxia to throw himself into its net.

Ji Mingxia gripped the phone in his hand, and left his finger over the button for the flashlight. By relying on his memory, he walked step by step towards the house.

By the time Ji Mingxia reached the door to the house, the black shadow had already disappeared.

The inside of the house was pitch black, but strangely, Ji Mingxia felt as if the house was very “lively”.

The whole Banana Leaf Village was quiet, as if there wasn’t a single living person. It was so silent that he could often hear his own breathing.

But at that moment, knocking and stomping sounds came from the Ji family house, as well as other intermittent sounds.

Sometimes it was the sound of people walking around, at other times were the sounds of crying and laughing overlapping each other.

There were the cries of babies, sighs of men and women, and coughs of the elderly.

These sounds came from far and near, sometimes behind him, and sometimes in his ears, making Ji Mingxia feel as if there were countless “people” standing all around him.

Ji Mingxia listened carefully for a while, and when he heard an old woman’s coughing, he couldn’t help but whisper, “Grandma?”

The surrounding area suddenly became silent.

As if everyone was startled by his voice, they all stopped talking and turned their heads to stare at him in silence.

Ji Mingxia got goosebumps all of a sudden.

He instinctively wanted to back up and leave this place that looked very dangerous.

But he could not go.

If he was threatened to come in by Zhou Tao’s words, he became even more determined when he heard Grandma Ji’s house.

Ji Mingxia stood at the entrance of the living room, his brain spinning up rapidly.

The layout of the first floor of Grandma Ji’s house was very simple. After entering the front door, there was a small shoe changing area, followed by the corridor. The kitchen was on the left, the guest bedroom and the staircase to the second floor were on the right.

Grandma Ji's voice seemed to come from inside the living room.

The living room had a sofa, a coffee table and a TV cabinet.

And next to the sofa was a sideboard that was used to keep Grandma Ji’s Buddhist beads.

When Grandma Ji was idle, she would sit by the sideboard and dish out Buddhist beads. So could it be that Grandma Ji was sitting by the sideboard in the living room?

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but walk in the direction of the sofa.

Compared to the “lively atmosphere” earlier, the living room was dead silent at the moment, making Ji Mingxia’s footsteps sound extra loud.
