Chapter 57: Anomalous

On the weekend, it was just nightfall.

The lights are on.

Usually the three of them go together, but today there are only two people, Jiang Chanji and Chen Yiyi.

Jiang Chanji came to school on weekends mainly to eat, Zixuan did not have this need, and she was still a child, and the weekends were a time for the family to share family fun.

In fact, Zixuan is not only young and smart, but also very hard-working, Jiang Chanji cheekily went to rub the hot bath and rice this morning, and saw that she was seriously studying the content of the textbook, even on the weekend.

As for Chen Yiyi, when he told her that he would come to school on weekends, she showed an attitude that she would also come to school.

Therefore, today is a rare time for two people to go to and from school.

"That's the case, I want to ask if you want to consider taking a social practice class?" he told Chen Yiyi about the social practice class he knew, waiting for her feedback.

Chen Yiyi, who was walking with her head down, nodded almost immediately.

Jiang Chanji was worried that she agreed because she was worried about his feelings, so he hurriedly added: "You don't have to force yourself, if you can keep up with the cultural courses, there is no need to waste time and energy to participate in social practice classes, after all, there is still a certain danger, I have no way to participate, otherwise I may not be able to finish my studies." ”

Chen Yiyi raised her head slightly, her eyes seemed to want to convey something, but she seemed to notice something unusual and looked back.

It's unusual for her to react to her surroundings, and generally doesn't look away when someone falls next to her, as if nothing is relevant to her.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chanji also looked back.

On weekend nights, the cafeteria started half an hour later than usual, so they left school later than usual, and it was already dark earlier than before.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the road are sparsely populated, and everyone may be eating or preparing dinner.

He glanced at it a few times, but didn't find anything unusual, and didn't know what Chen Yiyi was looking at.

She stared for a moment, then turned back to her usual appearance, then nodded again.

"Okay, then let's participate together, and I'll talk to Teacher Li Muqin when I get back. By the way, there may be a senior sister with a not-so-bright head who will ...... with us."

Jiang Chanji noticed that he had arrived at the intersection where he usually met her, "About that senior sister, let's talk about it later, you should turn the corner, see you tomorrow, bye!"

At this junction he would continue straight while she turned to one side.

This is something he is accustomed to, and when he says goodbye, he naturally moves on.

However, his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by a force from behind.

Looking back, it was Chen Yiyi who was pulling his sleeve.

She stared at him, her eyes flickering slightly in the light of the streetlights, as if she had something to say.

"What's wrong, is there anything else?" he asked.

She looked back again, Jiang Chanji followed her line of sight, and still didn't see anything worth noting.

Chen Yiyi's eyes were very complicated, both worried and confused, and she was not sure if what she wanted to express was unfounded.

After a moment, she let go of her hand.

"Is there really nothing going on? If there is something, you can just say it, and you don't have to worry about anything. He encouraged.

She was silent.

"Okay then, it's okay to talk about it tomorrow, bye-bye, it's not too early, you can go home quickly. He waved goodbye again.

This time she didn't hold him back, but after he had walked a few steps, he turned around and found that she had followed.

"It's time for you to turn around, right? He stopped and reminded her, thinking that she didn't see the road clearly in the dark, after all, she always walked with her head down.

She couldn't convey her thoughts with her eyes alone, and said hoarsely, "On the way...... Be careful......"

I was talking about this.

Jiang Chanji thinks that she may feel that it is dark, and it is not safe for him to walk alone at night as a "girl", because the apartment building he lives in is a suburb, and he has to pass through a very desolate area in the middle, which is fine during the day and somewhat creepy at night.

Aunt Wenhua is also because of this, so she doesn't worry about Zixuan going to and from school alone, Jiang Chanji is willing to take Zixuan to and from school together, which helps her a lot.

Even so, in the evening, as long as they come back a little late, such as eating sugar gourds on the road and delaying for a few minutes, Aunt Wenhua will call worriedly to confirm that they are safe.

However, Jiang Chanji is a man, what's so scary about a big man walking alone at night?

"Don't worry, I'll be careful on the road, and you should be careful, especially the vehicles. He laughs.

Chen Yiyi's direction home, although it is not the city center, at least it will not be so remote, and she has a unique ability to hide her whereabouts.

Jiang Chanji is not worried that she will meet bad people, because it is almost difficult for ordinary people to detect her existence, even the lower-level transcendents can't see her if they are not careful, and the only thing to pay attention to is the passing vehicles, because the driver can't see her either.

She walks on the sidewalk and doesn't have anything to worry about except when crossing the road.

She nodded, and finally turned and walked in the direction she was supposed to go.

Jiang Chanji watched her figure disappear at the intersection, and then continued to move forward.

For the rest of the way, he usually walked with Zixuan, until he returned to the street where the apartment building was located and saw the light at the door of the public bathhouse, and then he would go home.

He was the only one left today.

Speaking of which, since entering Momiji Academy, he hasn't experienced time alone for a long time, except when he goes back to sleep in the rental house at night.

The further you go to the suburbs, the fewer pedestrians and vehicles there are on the road.

After a while, he came to a fork in the road.

There are two roads in front, both leading to the street where the apartment building is located.

The one on the left is the road he and Zixuan often walk, although it is also quite remote, but at least occasionally pedestrians walk or cycle by, and every street light can be lit.

The road on the right is a more desolate road, and it will pass through the ruins of unfinished buildings, which has the advantage of being closer than the road on the left.

When Jiang Chanji used to work part-time, he walked the road on the right several times, and also walked through the third watch in the middle of the night, although he was sometimes startled by the homeless man and wild dog that suddenly jumped out, but he never encountered any real danger.

If it was with Zixuan, he would definitely not choose the right road, but since it was only him, he would definitely choose a shortcut, and he could rest earlier when he got home earlier, and today he tossed for a day according to the request of Teacher Li Muqin, and he was already tired.

In addition, he wondered if he had gone back earlier, and when he passed by the public bathhouse, maybe he would have been able to have a supper, even if it was a cold scorching scrap.

So, without hesitation, he turned to the right.
