Chapter 45
On the other hand, Zhou Xiang was confused. 'I thought Lei liked this? Maybe Ya Ya is just mistaken...'
.....
"No! No..." Zhou Lei couldn't help but wail in despair. He was really looking forward to using that book, but his sister made it disappear.
"Huh?" Zhou Zhenya was really confused. She looked down on her foot, which her brother was looking at with great anger, and saw nothing out of place.
"Is there something wrong with my foot?" Zhou Zhenya asked her brother loudly.
Outside the room, Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Xiang were still misunderstanding the situation.
Zhou Jiahao shook his head. 'What do you mean, Little Ya? Of course, there's something wrong!'
Zhou Xiang raised her eyebrow. 'Yeah, Lei, what's wrong with her foot? You used to like it, right?'
Zhou Lei then turned his head up abruptly, scaring his sister. Add to that the fact that his face was really frustrated, and it's no wonder why Zhou Zhenya got scared.
"What do you mean, what's wrong with your foot?! There's... nothing wrong with it..." Zhou Lei angrily shouted.
"Wh- what? Then why are you angry?" Zhou Zhenya spoke as she subconsciously retreated.
"Because you stepped on my book, and now it's gone! Why else would I be angry?" Zhou Lei kept his composure while explaining.
Hearing this statement from their son, both Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Xiang was shocked. 'Is book... slang for a b.o.n.e.r? I mean, it is hard...'
"Huh? What book?" Zhou Zhenya asked her brother silently.
After hearing her brother, Zhou Zhenya's head almost exploded. Now, she wasn't that scared. Her confusion had overshadowed her fear.
"Well, it's gone now because of you." Zhou Lei complained.
'What are you saying?' Zhou Zhenya was really puzzled.
"It's like this one." Zhou Lei picked another book from the pile beside him. It was
"Hmm?" Zhou Zhenya was even more confused. Her brother's fingers looked like they were holding something, and she was supposed to see it as she came to a realization... but the problem was... her brother was holding nothing!
"Just hold it!" Zhou Lei hurriedly gave the book to his sister.
Hearing their son's words, Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Xiang were shocked.
Zhou Jiahao thought, 'What are you demanding from my daughter?! Ah, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you're not my son, ahhh!'
Inversely, Zhou Xiang thought, 'My son, Lei... you're so aggressive!'
Zhou Zhenya held out her hand to get the thing her brother was holding.
Zhou Lei was expecting his little sister to get the book he was holding out and said, "Be careful."
"Hmm?" Zhou Zhenya was very confused. This brother of hers wasn't making very much sense, after all.
It was then that Zhou Zhenya's hand... pa.s.sed through the book.
"What." Zhou Lei didn't expect this to happen. He thought that the previous case was special since his sister applied too much force that it caused the book to disintegrate.
Now, the same thing was happening to the book he was holding.
"No, no! My floor tiles, no!" Zhou Lei shouted.
Hearing their son's utters, Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Xiang were startled.
Both of them were thinking the exact same thing. 'Floor... tiles? What the heck does that mean?'
Zhou Zhenya was also utterly confused as she didn't understand a single thing about the situation.
She looked at the floor subconsciously and saw a set of mediocre floor tiles. Although it was so-so, this was already here for a long time now. Why was her brother getting dissatisfied over them just now?
"What's wrong with the floor tiles?"
It was at that moment that she tripped on the crack in one of the floor tiles.
She fell towards the direction where Zhou Lei pushed the books.
"Wait, no!" Zhou Lei had mostly figured out what was happening. For some reason, every time his sister touches the books, they disintegrate and disappear.
Now, she was about to fall on the whole bulk of them! How could Zhou Lei stay calm?
A series of cla.s.sical music rang throughout Zhou Lei's brain, such as "Messiah" and "La donna รจ mobile", as Zhou Zhenya slowly fell towards the books.
"Nooo!" Zhou Lei tried to catch her, but it was too late.
Ting!
As soon as Zhou Zhenya's face touched the cover of the first book, it started disintegrating.
Woosh, woosh...
The book disintegrating continued as she fell to the floor.
Soon enough, Zhou Zhenya hit the floor and Zhou Lei realized that only a couple of books were left.
The others? They... they were all gone!
