Under the dim street light, Jeff threw a cigarette butt that almost burned to the filter tip on the ground.

Immediately, his eyes quickly looked to the sides, while habitually stepping on the cigarette butt with the sole of his leather shoe, rubbing it back and forth.

"Hey...damn..."

Jeff slammed his foot hard, forgetting that the soles of his shoes were so thin that they were almost breathable, and now they were scalded to the soles of his feet.

The evening wind blew back and forth on the street wrapped in a chill, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, and the few in the distance were also hurriedly rushing along with their heads lowered and their heads wrapped in hats and scarves.

Jeff turned up the collar of his coat, the collars on both sides were shiny with stains, but at this moment, it gave him a sense of security that he was being hidden and protected.

In front is No. 128 Minke Street. From No. 50 to No. 200, they are all townhouses. People who buy or rent here will probably not be rich, but at least they are middle class.

The house in front of them is a family of three, the male owner is a doctor, the female owner is a teacher, and they have a seven-year-old son.

During the day, there will be a maid to clean up the house, but the maid will not stay at night, and will go home when dinner is ready.

In addition, the family has a habit of going out to the theatre every Saturday night.

The door was opened, and the man in a black suit came out first and started the car parked at the door;

Afterwards, the hostess in a red dress also led the child out of the door. After closing the door, she chatted and laughed with the child and got into her husband's car.

Subsequently,

The car drove away.

Jeff licked his upper and lower lips with his tongue, stepped forward, turned over and jumped over the low wooden fence that even a small dog could not stop, fell into the flowerbed, and quickly walked up the steps, took a handful from his pocket. key, insert.

"Crack..."

A crisp sound indicates that the door was opened successfully.

Three months ago, when Jeff, who was still a moving company worker, was providing moving services for the family, the hostess trusted the new house key to the moving company, and Jeff took this opportunity to secretly match one.

It's just that he was still hesitating whether to steal or not, and he had almost lost everything at that time;

Now, he doesn't have to hesitate, because he not only has nothing, but also owes a lot of debt.

After opening the door, Jeff dodged in, closing the door quickly.

"After tonight, you should be able to understand why you need to get new locks after moving."

The first floor is an open kitchen and dining room, plus a nanny room in the northwest corner.

Jeff went directly to the second floor. Instead of turning on the light, he turned on the flashlight that he brought. The light of the flashlight was a little unstable.

"Damn..."

Jeff cursed silently again. He knew it was because the battery was low, but it was also because he bought a pack of 5 rupees of "Morf" cigarettes with the money he had planned to buy the battery.

I tapped my elbow hard on the flashlight a few times, and the light of the flashlight was brighter than before.

The second floor is the master bedroom of the couple plus a small study and a bathroom;

As for the third floor, because it is an attic, it is only used as the child's bedroom.

Jeff pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and what he saw was a large bed and all kinds of quaint cabinets. He knew that there was a high probability that this valuable thing would be in the master bedroom. Of course, before leaving, he would still Take a look at the small study.

"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..."

The rubbing sound of electric current and the sound of snowflakes came.

"Welcome to the "Luojia Story Club Program", I'm your old friend... Alfred, the moonlight is beautiful tonight. Under such a beautiful moonlight, no matter what you do, you seem to be accompanied by a the taste of happiness……"

Jeff was taken aback by the sudden sound, and when he looked down, he saw that it was an old-fashioned peanut tube radio.

"Damn, everyone has left home, don't you know how to save electricity bills!"

Jeff reached out and turned the radio off.

Afterwards, he started to turn over the dresser cabinet in the room. Generally speaking, the hostess likes to put some frequently worn jewelry and household living expenses here. Of course, it would be great if he could find a jewelry box next.

"Crack..."

The sound of the door opening came from the first floor.

Jeff almost jumped up in fright.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of high heels going up the stairs, with a very clear goal, which was to come to the bedroom.

Jeff immediately pushed the drawer back and turned off the flashlight.

He's just a thief, he's not a robber, stealing and robbing are two completely different concepts, even if convicted in court.

Most importantly, he simply didn't have the courage to be a robber!

The sound of high heels came quickly, with a little urgency.

Jeff didn't have time to think too much about other things, so he could only lie down, turned sideways, and rolled into the bed.

"Squeak..."

Almost at the same time, the bedroom door was pushed open.

"Snapped!"

The lights are turned on.

Jeff, who was doing a "pseudo plank" under the bed, saw a pair of red high-heeled shoes walk to the dressing table. After a messy search, he seemed to have found a small medicine jar with a crisp sound of pouring out the medicine. And finally the sound of swallowing.

Immediately after,

Just a series of breaths of relief.

Jeff saw the woman's high heels pause for a long time in front of the dresser, then the woman got up and the high heels began to move.

"Jingle bell... jingle bell..."

The phone rang.

The high heels left the bed and walked to the coffee table under the windowsill, where the phone was placed.

The woman answered the phone:

"Yes Yes."

"Uh-huh."

"I originally planned to go with them, but I suddenly fell ill and had to come back to take medicine. Let them go tonight. I will rest at home."

"It's okay, don't worry, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

The woman hung up the phone, turned around, and walked towards the bed.

"Quack."

Stepping on the heels of each other and taking off the shoes, the high heels almost fell in front of Jeff, so close that Jeff could even smell the smell coming from the upper.

Immediately, the bed vibrated,

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

The woman should lie directly on the bed,

And let out a long comfortable sigh,

Obviously,

After finishing work during the day, she was away from family activities with her husband and children, and finally got a moment of leisure, even if it was because of her health, but it was very pleasant to think about it.

Under the bed, Jeff began to think about what he should do.

He now regrets that he should have masked in advance. If he had known that it was only a woman who went home alone, he could have masked her to intimidate her and told her not to move and leave by himself.

I believe that the woman is alone and does not dare to act rashly. In addition, he has not had time to steal, and the other party... Maybe it will be more than one thing less, and he will not even call the police!

But, just think about it.

Even if a woman is sure to lie on the bed now, Jeff doesn't have the courage to get out of the bed and threaten her.

Jeff opened his mouth as wide as he could, and began to let himself breathe silently to ease the tension at the moment.

wait for the woman to sleep, wait for the woman to sleep,

After she fell asleep, before her husband and children came back, she could sneak out from the bottom of the bed quietly and leave safely without disturbing anyone.

The woman lying on the bed was humming a song, and the sound of turning pages came from her hand.

Damn, why are you still not sleeping?

Jeff didn't know how long the woman above had been reading the book, because he had lost the perception of the concept of time passing under the bed at this time.

finally,

"Snapped."

Jeff heard the sound of the book being closed.

The woman got out of bed,

bare feet.

She started walking towards the bedroom door, yawning as she walked.

Are you going to take a shower?

Jeff was overjoyed.

When she goes to take a bath, she can get away on her own!

However,

What made Jeff lost was that the woman came back with only a "click" sound, followed by the snowflake sound of the radio.

"Squeak..."

The woman lay back on the bed and picked up the book.

Soft music began to play on the radio, and the woman hummed along.

Damn, she wouldn't have to wait for her husband and kids to get back to bed!

a song ends,

A man's voice came over the radio:

"After a short break, welcome back to the Roja Story Club, where we continue the story we just told. Our hostess, Catherine, is lying on the bed with a book in her hand and listening to music, and she is enjoying the short leisure time of the night;

In fact, she has always envied other full-time wives, because for a woman, it is too tiring to take care of family affairs and children while going to work outside. "

"Ugh……"

Jeff heard a sigh from the woman on the bed, and she seemed to be in a similar situation.

However,

at this time,

on the radio,

But it made Jeff's hair tremble!

"But what Catherine didn't know was that when she was lying in bed enjoying this rare leisure, in fact, under her bed, there was a person lying..."

"..." Jeff.

"……"woman.

The original sighing sound on the bed and the sound of turning the pages of the book stopped abruptly.

Along with the pause, there was also the sound on the radio. It seemed that the signal was not good or there was something wrong with the old radio, and the snowflake sound was full again.

Jeff's heart was almost in his throat at this time, and he only felt that the quiet atmosphere at this time made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

bed,

The woman's laughter came, as if she was relieving herself from embarrassment. Of course, the main purpose was to relieve the depression of "scaring yourself".

If the environment did not allow it, Jeff really wanted to cooperate with a smile:

Look, ma'am, don't listen to that bastard on the radio, how could there be someone under your bed!

However,

at this time,

Jeff saw a foot and lowered it slowly.

The woman moved towards the bed.

Jeff looked at the foot, his own fists, slowly clenching.

He saw that the woman's toes were also tense.

The woman seemed eager to get out of bed and look under the bed, and Jeff knew exactly what she would see once she got out of bed and looked down...

but,

The woman's feet, just after touching the floor, slowly retracted.

call……

Jeff sighed inwardly.

Before he knew it, he was in a cold sweat.

But when he was breathing, he had to deliberately control it. He hated this scene, he hated this situation, and he even hated himself who planned to be a thief.

perhaps,

Five minutes passed?

Jeff didn't know if there were five minutes, he didn't have a watch, and he couldn't count the time under the bed.

Suddenly,

Jeff saw a strand of hair hanging down from the bed.

Jeff under the bed can almost make up the picture, the woman on the bed is about to gradually look under the bed.

hair,

Longer and longer, more and more,

The front end of the hair has almost touched the floor.

Jeff just stared at this scene so stupidly, he didn't know how to face this scene later.

Is it kneeling down and begging a woman to let her go?

Or use the most arrogant and threatening tone, let the woman be quiet, and then leave by yourself?

It seems...the first one suits me better.

hair, which has touched the floor;

Immediately, the woman's forehead slowly appeared in Jeff's field of vision.

A little bit down, a little bit down,

Just a little bit,

Jeff can see women's eyes,

But it also means that women can also see him under the bed.

Jeff held his breath, his anxiety was so intense that he had forgotten about breathing at this moment, and just stared at the woman's forehead that kept moving downwards.

Then,

The woman stopped moving.

It seems that women are also very afraid, very afraid of what to do if they see someone under the bed.

Although she knew that taking a look was the best way to relieve her doubts and fears, she just didn't dare to look...

The woman's hair that fell on the floor began to rise,

The woman's forehead also disappeared from Jeff's field of vision,

The woman lay back on the bed,

The woman began to gasp,

Jeff also finally realized that he seemed to hold his breath for a long time, opened his mouth, and began to silently greet the air.

His brain was a little dizzy, and tears started to secrete from the corners of his eyes. He wanted to cry. He wanted to go back to the street now. Even in the face of the cold wind, he could sit happily by the flowerbed smoking a cigarette and spitting. Loud, exaggerated and uncivilized spitting!

I don't know how long it will be,

There was no movement on the bed,

she,

Should have fallen asleep, right?

Jeff estimated the time, and when the woman's husband and child returned, he probably really couldn't escape.

He is already so afraid of a woman, and when the man comes back, he will probably lose all his courage.

she fell asleep,

That……

I,

let's go?

Jeff began to move his position slightly. He was lying on the bottom of the bed. At this moment, he carefully turned over to lie on his back, and then began to slowly wriggle his body, turning his upper body slowly. stick out from under the bed;

The wriggling feeling made Jeff feel like a huge... maggot.

His left hand was pressed on the floor, his right hand was placed beside the bed, and in many parts of his body, he began to exert slight force to pull himself out from the bottom of the bed little by little.

The first to discover,

It's Jeff's head.

Previously, the reason why he had to turn his face up first was because when he left the bottom of the bed, Jason wanted to make sure that his line of sight could always catch the movement of the bed.

And if you come out first on your stomach, the woman on the bed behind you suddenly screams,

gosh,

Jeff thinks he'll be terrified like that!

move out slowly,

He saw the bedside,

He saw the woman's drooping hand beside the bed,

move out gently,

He saw the woman's hair,

She should be asleep, she should be sleeping soundly, for sure.

It's just that the sleeping position is not good. Her husband is not at home now, she should be sleeping in the middle of the bed now!

Continue to move out cautiously,

Jeff's figure suddenly stopped;

Because he saw the woman's hair, there was a gap, and the height of the gap meant that the woman was not lying down... but, she was lying on the edge of the bed, and she was raising her head.

Who would keep their heads up...sleep?

So, she should open her eyes now, looking at the floor diagonally ahead.

And if you continue to move out,

It is very likely that the line of sight will meet her line of sight!

For a time, Jeff only felt that his scalp was numb. He really wanted to just do it all the time and pull his body out from under the bed, but... but he didn't have the courage.

finally,

He could only be extremely frustrated, and slowly moved himself back to the bed again.

When his head was covered by the bed board again,

His hanging heart finally fell.

The bottom of the bed gave him an incomparable sense of security, as if he was back home again.

at this time,

The sound of the engine of the car came from outside, and then the engine was turned off.

Then, there was the sound of the door opening at the entrance on the first floor, followed by the boy's laughter.

Men and children, are back.

But Jeff didn't feel like he was done...he even felt like he was... relieved.

He even expected himself to be discovered, and then rushed out;

Or, he was stopped by a man and beaten; or, he was caught by the police who came to the police later.

But no matter what, even entering the detention cell of the police station is countless times better than it is now.

A series of footsteps began to ascend the stairs,

The bedroom door was pushed open.

Jeff's face was facing the direction of the bedroom door.

He first saw a boy's sneakers. When he was five or six years younger, he also wanted to get these sneakers. The price was very high, and when they were worn, the whole person looked much more confident.

Immediately after,

He saw a pair of men's leather shoes, very delicate, not the delicate ones with shoe polish, but new leather shoes.

"Today's performance was really good."

"But I look a little sleepy, Dad."

"Haha, when you get older, you'll be able to understand, so let's take you to the zoo next week, okay?"

"Really!"

"Of course."

"Mom, did you hear that, Dad said to take us to the zoo next week."

"I heard, I heard, okay, George, go wash up, you should go to bed. Honey, you should take your son to wash with me, and I'll make the bed for George."

A pair of red high heels came in from outside.

Jeff only felt that the atmosphere of this home was really warm. It would be great if he had such a warm home before.

"Okay, okay, take a shower, I'll tune the radio, it's time for the stock news."

The man seemed to fiddle with the antenna of the radio, and the sound of snowflakes, which had long been integrated with the night, suddenly became louder, and then disappeared:

"...It's a good night's story, isn't it? Everyone, no matter where they are, is accompanied by their own partner, and they are never alone.

Well, thank you for listening to tonight's Luo Jia story meeting, the next program for you on this station is securities news, I believe that you are going to make a fortune again..."

on the radio,

Start playing soft music as a transition between two shows.

Get rich... oh, get rich.

Jeff just thought it was ridiculous. If he hadn't listened to his friends and sold the house left by his father and bought a stock that would definitely skyrocket, how could he have been reduced to such a field?

this time,

The family of three who were standing at the door, the father took his son to the bathroom, and the woman went to the third floor to make the son's bed.

This is your chance, get off the bed now, rush down the stairs, open the door, rush out, and you'll be safe and free!

Jeff made up his mind,

When the hands are on the floor and are about to exert force,

fierce,

his shape,

Suddenly froze.

A picture suddenly appeared in his mind,

That is before, the woman came in from outside the house and came back with her husband and children, the woman who had been lying on the bed,

she,

Who is it?

Isn't she lying on the bed,

Then the family of three who came back earlier, why didn't they see her?

"Shh."

From the back of his head, there was a slight cry, slightly cool, stroking the back of his head.

Jeff turned his head slowly in amazement, under the bed, almost sticking to his back,

He first saw a pair of legs, then down, saw a face;

No!

He only saw one pair of legs, and the face between them!
