"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi asked hurriedly.

Su Zimu thought for a moment before saying, "It's nothing. It's just that the house next door to us has been empty for a long time, and someone moved in today."

Jiang Yi laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? Different people have different tastes. There will always be someone who likes that house."

Su Zimu: "That's not the weird thing. What's weird is that I seem to see a very familiar car parked there."

"who?"

Su Zimu: "I can't remember, but I have definitely seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for now."

Jiang Yi comforted him, "If you can't remember, forget it. Just go and check it out tomorrow."

Su Zimu hummed.

Jiang Yi then told her to lock the doors and windows, and then they hung up the phone.

Just a few minutes after hanging up the phone, Su Zimu suddenly had an idea. The car seemed to belong to Yang Ling. She remembered that the last time she came to visit her home, she saw that car when she saw her off.

But, what is she doing here? Did she move here? Or did her friend move here?

The next morning, when Su Zimu was sending Nic to school, she happened to see Yang Ling's car parked, and she was the first to greet her.

Yang Ling was holding a few bags in her arms. She turned around to look at her and was obviously stunned for a moment before she smiled. "Ms. Su, are you going to work?"

Su Zimu nodded. "Miss Yang, what's up so early in the morning? Miss Yang has moved here?"

"Hmm?" Yang Ling looked back at the deep house again, and seemed to react, "No, I came to deliver something... to a friend."

Su Zimu smiled and said, "Give my regards to your friend, my new neighbor. I'm leaving now."

"okay bye."

"Mom, what should we give to our new neighbors?" Nic started to worry about it.

Su Zimu thought for a moment and said, "Just send some fruit."

After dinner, the two packed some fruit, took some cookies they baked, and rang the doorbell of their new neighbor.

After a long time, the door finally opened and a man who looked to be in his fifties walked out.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor. Congratulations on your new home. This is a small token of my appreciation." Su Zimu said as he handed over the fruits and biscuits in his hand.

The man took the things and just said thank you, without intending to say anything else.

Su Zimu was a little embarrassed, "Do you know Miss Yang Ling?"

The man nodded.

"Actually, we are friends."

Su Zimu finished speaking and waited for the other party to take over, so that they could chat for a while. Unexpectedly, the other party just hummed and stopped talking, as if he was eager to end the conversation.

"Then...you go ahead and do your work."

Su Zimu took a deep breath and walked towards his home with Nic. It seemed that the new neighbor was not easy to get along with.

In the following days, Su Zimu noticed that there seemed to be no one entering or leaving the new neighbor's house. If it weren't for the lights being turned on every night, she would have suspected that there was no one inside.

However, the new neighbor's lights were never turned off, whether in the middle of the night or in the early morning. Several times when Su Zimu got up in the early morning, he found that the lights were still on.

What a strange neighbor! Su Zimu just thought so in his mind.

That day, Su Zimu was busy preparing dinner, and Nic was playing alone in the yard.

When she finished preparing dinner and called Nic back, she found that Nic was not in the yard at all. At first, she thought Nic was playing hide-and-seek with her, but soon she realized something was wrong.

She quickly searched the house inside and outside, but no one was there. She suddenly had a bad feeling and picked up her cell phone to call the police.

Suddenly, Nic's voice came from outside the house. Su Zimu rushed over to open the door, but saw Nic standing at the door intact.

Su Zimu rushed over and hugged the small body, "Nic, where have you been? Why didn't you stay in the yard?"

"Our neighbor asked me to go to his house and play, so I played for a while," said Nic.

Su Zimu looked back at the tightly closed door next door, then stood up and carried Nic back home, "Don't go out to play alone in the future, not even to the neighbors."

Nic didn't understand, "Why?"

Su Zimu said seriously: "Mom is afraid that you will be in danger."

"But the neighbors have..."

Su Zimu interrupted him, "You can't go if there is anything. Mom can buy you delicious and fun things."

Nic: “It’s not delicious or fun.”

"Okay, nothing at all."

"Mom." Nic called softly.

"No. This is my mother's bottom line." Su Zimu refused without thinking.

The people next door are really weird. Su Zimu thought of the news about the home robbery some time ago and started to feel uneasy. What if a pervert or something moved in? In short, it’s better to have less dealings with them.

Today is Saturday, and Su Zimu finally gets a chance to sleep in. However, little Nic's biological clock is very accurate. After waking up, he jumps and dances on her bed.

Su Zimu hugged Nic and didn't want to open his eyes, "Nic, can you sleep a little longer?"

Nic broke free, "No, Mom, get up and play with me."

Su Zimu was completely speechless. Just when he was about to pretend that he heard nothing, the doorbell rang again.

Who could it be so early in the morning?

After struggling to get up, Su Zimu went downstairs and opened the door, but no one was there. On the steps was a medium-sized express box.

After staring at the express box for a long time, Su Zimu still couldn't remember what she had bought recently, but the recipient was clearly her name.

"Mom, what is that?" Nic ran over happily, "Is it a toy you bought for me?"

Su Zimu put the package on the table, smiled and pinched his chubby face, "I think... maybe not."

As she spoke, she started to unpack the package. The moment the box was fully opened, something suddenly flew out from it, accompanied by a terrifying laugh. She was so scared that she screamed and quickly turned her head to push the thing in front of her away.

Su Zimu was afraid of scaring Nic, so he held him in his arms and murmured, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay."

The little man in her arms didn't cry or make a fuss, and asked, "I'm not afraid. Mom, this clown is a little boy."

Seeing that Nic really wasn't afraid, Su Zimu calmed down and looked at the clown who was still laughing wildly. He saw the spring connected under the clown, guiding the clown to sway left and right with his mouth grinning.

If the incident hadn't happened suddenly and caught people off guard, Su Zimu wouldn't have been scared by such a boring thing. Looking at the clown swaying from side to side, he found it quite funny.

I don’t know who is so bored as to play such a prank.

Su Zimu stood up, ready to throw the clown and the express box out. Just as he picked up the express box and walked out, Nic's childish voice rang out.

"Mom, why does this little clown have a wound on his face? The owner of this clown really doesn't take good care of his toys."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Su Zimu lowered his head and looked carefully at the clown in his hand. Sure enough, there was a long scratch on the left cheek of the laughing clown.
