The words were too direct for Zhang Longqian to react, and she opened her mouth before she slowly made a sound.

"So, Xiao Miao, you ......"

"It's an orphan." While packing up his things, Zhou Miao replied, "When I was seven years old, I met Grandpa Bai by chance, and it was he who brought me back to the Bai family as a mortal. ”

"Then your parents ......"

At the mention of this, Zhou Miao's voice paused slightly.

“…… He's dead. ”

"Huh?"

"When I was seven years old, I was killed in front of my eyes."

"What's ......?!"

Zhang Longqian's eyes widened.

Murder? And in front of Zhou Miao, who is still a child?

"And what about the murderer?!"

Looking at the eager Zhang Longqian, Zhou Miao shook her head lightly and lowered her head to continue to clean up, her face was still indifferent, but Zhang Longqian couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"In which city?"

If the local police did not catch the murderer because they were ineffective, then change someone to investigate, although it has been many years, as long as the "fox faces" who belong to themselves in the Yulin Club are dispatched, then they will definitely be able to find clues.

Secretly making plans in his heart, Zhang Longqian clenched his fists tightly.

Never let anyone hurt their best friend.

didn't look up at Zhang Longqian again, Zhou Miao just said lightly: "It doesn't matter which city it is, the police there have done their best, but the murderer is not something they can find, and they can't arrest it." ”

She has long been accustomed to being told what she thinks in her heart by Zhou Miao's words, and now Zhang Longqian is not surprised, but when she heard the meaning of Zhou Miao's words, she couldn't help frowning: "'It's not that they can arrest'?" Isn't the murderer mortal? Could it be that it is the ...... of the Dao Dharma Realm?"

"I don't know." Picking up a bunch of things and getting up and putting them on the experimental table, Zhou Miao calmly interrupted Zhang Longqian's words, "It may be a person from the Dao Law Realm, or it may not be a human being, as for what happened, I was just a mortal child at that time, I couldn't judge at all, all I remember was his name and his eyes." ”

Remembering that when he met the two people who dealt with Cang Yan in Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School before, he only remembered each other's eyes, but didn't remember their appearance at all, Zhang Longqian murmured softly: "Is it a trick to cover your eyes?" ”

"Mostly." Taking the parts handed over by Zhang Longqian, Zhou Miao said while tidying up, "Thanks to him, I became a homeless orphan, but fortunately, Grandpa Bai, who happened to go to that city, brought me back to the Bai family, and he regarded me as his own granddaughter and raised me and Xiaolu together." It's a pity that I'm different from Xiao Lu, I don't have a talent for spells, and the only useful thing is a logical and clear mind, so all I can do is work my research, and maybe I can help Grandpa Bai in the future. ”

Seeing that Zhou Miao naturally skimmed the topic away from the topic of his parents being killed, Zhang Longqian couldn't bear to mention it again, so he could only follow her words and say, "Xiaolu's grandfather is also a mage, right?" What kind of person is he? ”

Speaking of this benefactor, Zhou Miao's always calm and waveless eyes also showed a hint of reverent softness: "The temperament is similar to Xiao Lu, but he is smarter than Xiao Lu, he is one of the elders of the academy, and he is also one of the top researchers in the Dao Law Realm, and he has developed a lot of things for both the Dharma Hall and the academy, including the student card is also his achievement." ”

"So by help, you mean research?"

Zhou Miao nodded: "I owe too much to the Bai family, and this can only be repaid a little." Grandpa Bai paid me for the money, time, everything, I must repay it twice in the future. ”

That's why she's always worked so hard.

That's why Zhou Miao, the youngest of the three, is the most mature one, so mature that if she didn't say it herself, no one would have thought of what a painful past she had.

Looking at Zhou Miao's side face, Zhang Long sighed softly in his heart, but said relaxed words in his mouth.

"And so you became a miser?"

Zhou Miao glanced at Zhang Longqian lightly, and the contempt in it was unmistakable.

This accustomed gaze made Zhang Longqian couldn't help but relax a little, and even slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and after thinking about it, she still asked: "Does Xiaolu know these things?" ”

"Yes." Turning back to continue cleaning up, Zhou Miao's expression softened slightly, "When I first knew, her reaction was the same as yours, and she yelled with resentment on her face to avenge me. She didn't treat me as special because I was a mortal and an orphan, and in her eyes, I was just like you, her 'best friend'. ”

Zhang Longqian smiled: "This is very normal!" If he changes his attitude towards you because of these things, is he still called a 'best friend'? ”

A calm, firm tone.

"yes, you both do."

Zhang Longqian seemed to see Zhou Miao gently hook the corners of his lower lip, but before she could see it clearly, Zhou Miao's expression changed back to the same coldness.

"But for me, I can't see Xiao Lu as a 'best friend' like you."

Zhang Longqian was puzzled and wanted to ask, but he heard Zhou Miao's voice become solemn.

"For me, Grandpa White...... No, the 'Wu'an Bai family' is the most important, so Xiaolu is not only a 'close friend' to me, but also the object I must protect. ”

These heavy words made Zhang Longqian frown again: "Is this Xiao Lu's grandfather or someone from her family asking for you?" ”

"No, the people of the Bai family, like Grandpa Bai and Xiaolu, have always regarded me as a member of the Bai family, and have never asked me to make anything in return, they are really ...... It's so kind. There was a subtle tenderness under the slightly lowered eyes, and Zhou Miao's voice was slight but firm, "If you want to help Grandpa Bai and protect Xiaolu, this is my own decision, and I have long expected how many obstacles I will encounter before I reach it, so today's troublemaking is nothing at all." ”

As she spoke, Zhou Miao took out the two boxes and calmly sorted the parts on the experimental table one by one, just as she said, she really didn't have the slightest concern on her face about the two people of the family faction who deliberately made trouble.

It turned out that Bai Lu was so important in her heart.

casually put a part into the box in front of Zhou Miao, Zhang Longqian said lightly in a casual and serious tone: "Since it is your own decision, then I won't say anything, but if Xiaolu knows, she will be angry, right?" ”

That simple and kind girl must not want her best friend to have the idea of "repaying her kindness" to her.

"So you can never tell her. All she needs to know is that I see her and you as my 'best friends'. ”

Zhang Longqian squinted at Zhou Miao, who was much shorter than her: "Do you really see us like this?" ”

"Of course."

The unhesitating answer made Zhang Longqian grin: "Such a direct confession is really shy!" ”

“……”

Quietly packing up the parts, Zhou Miao didn't even bother to look at Zhang Longqian.
