Maybe it's because of what happened in the old mansion tonight, so that the dusty memory has loosened a little, and when He Zhizhang closed his eyes and opened them again, he had returned to thirteen years ago.

He sat against a rock, the boy's appearance had not yet fully grown, his half-length hair drooping on his eyelids, exhaustion and hunger made him look weak.

Not far behind, the waves crash against the reef, and not far away on the white sand beach is a man playing in the water, which is the hottest time of the day, and the scorching sun overhead seems to bake people dry.

The salty sea breeze carried a hint of coolness, which made He Zhizhang sober up a little, and when he looked up, sweat slid down his sideburns, revealing a pair of yin owl eyes.

If you guessed correctly, this is supposed to be a seaside resort, and across the road from him, on the high ground, there is a two-storey villa with a terrace facing the beach.

There was supposed to be a family of three living here, and as you could tell from the clothes hanging on the terrace on the second floor, it was a couple who were supposed to have a lovely daughter.

The little dress printed with Snow White reminded He Zhizhang of He Huanting, and he saw her wearing the same, Disney co-branded model.

His gaze slipped over the pink tutu and slowly closed, the sound of the waves seemed to be far away from him.

He was so tired that he was almost exhausted from hours of running away, and he missed the little figure that had slipped out of the villa.

In the afternoon, the resort is plunged into a brief silence, with the adults taking a nap in the air conditioner and the children just wanting to go out and play.

Ji Nan Sumire, who was supposed to sleep in the room, took her good friend Aisha out with her good friend Elsa after trying to wake up her parents to no avail.

Shunichi's brother says that there are many beautiful seashells on the beach, and if you find a hundred, you can see mermaids, and she wonders if mermaids are really like in storybooks.

However, there are very few shells on this beach, and Ji Nanjin only found a few after looking for a long time, large and small, pitifully carrying them in small skirts.

Ji Nanjin was a little lost, she couldn't find a hundred shells, and she wouldn't be able to see the mermaid!

The baked beach was a little hot, Ji Nanjin was wearing pink leather sandals, walking on the beach with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and there was no one else on the beach at this time except her.

Ji Nanjin was not afraid at all, concentrated on looking for shells, and unknowingly came to a pile of reefs.

The unfamiliar environment, and the threat of being thrown off temporarily, were not enough for He Zhizhang to let his guard down, and when he saw someone approaching, he opened his eyes suddenly.

When he saw the person clearly, He Zhizhang breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that there was an extra child in front of him, his eyes were big and round, staring at him without blinking.

Seeing that he was awake, the child hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you a mermaid?" ”

"......" He Zhizhang frowned, as if thinking about how to drive people away.

"Isn't it?"

The girl interpreted his silence, her expression looked a little disappointed, He Zhizhang was full of black lines, and she didn't know what she was disappointed about?

Then I heard the girl ask in a milky voice, "Brother, do you hurt?" You're bleeding. ”

The injured arm was covered in blood, but He Zhizhang didn't care much, he just wanted her to get out of his sight quickly, he hated all weak creatures.

The young man's gaze was too cold, and there was obvious impatience in his expression, but unfortunately Ji Nanjin was still too young and didn't understand how to look at words.

Staring thoughtfully at the person for a while, Ji Nanjin seemed to think of something, lowered his head and took out a candy from the small bag on his body, "Here you go." ”

He Zhizhang's gaze swept over the colorful candy wrappers and landed on the girl's crooked eyes, which were the most beautiful eyes and the purest smile he had ever seen.

There was ice on his lips, someone was trying to stuff something into his mouth, He Zhizhang raised his eyes and looked coldly at this bold child.

Seeing that he didn't open his mouth, Ji Nanjin hurriedly said, "You eat, it's delicious." ”

The ghost made the god open his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth, and the tail of He Zhizhang's eyes twitched slightly, suspecting that he would do such a stupid thing if he hurt his head.

He Zhizhang ate the candy, but his face was even more ugly, like a fierce beast that had been offended by a human child, and would pounce on her at any time and tear her apart.

The girl seemed to feel the malice at all, and stared at him for a moment with big eyes, as if she had seen something.

"Brother, did you get into a fight? But Dad said that fighting was not good. ”

"Brother, can you stop fighting with people in the future? If someone bullies you, you can find Brother Junichi, he's amazing. ”

"Brother, where is your home? Did you sneak out to play too? What about your mom and dad? Why don't you come home with me, and I'll treat you to ice cream. ”

“……”

He Zhizhang had never seen such a child who could talk so much, which made people want to throw her into the sea to feed the fish.

"Brother, why don't you speak, are you dumb?"

Ji Nanjin looked at the beautiful little brother who couldn't speak, and suddenly stretched out her hand to him.

He Zhizhang frowned, and grabbed her hand that was about to touch his shoulder, "What are you doing?" ”

Ji Nanjin looked at him in surprise, and her pretty little mouth opened slightly, "Brother, it turns out that you are not dumb!" ”

The sea breeze sent a hint of blood, He Zhizhang's face changed, he let go of the wrist he was holding, and said in an unkind tone: "Get out of here!" ”

Ji Nanjin stood still, she saw her beautiful brother standing up with the reef propped up, the hideous wound on her arm frightened her to take a step back, and the shells she had finally collected were scattered all over the ground.

He Zhizhang gave her a cold look, as if mocking her stupidity and ignorance, and then turned and walked towards the rainforest in the distance.

Seeing the back of the young man leaving, Ji Nanjin's eyes were slightly red, and she ran after him, "Brother, you wait for me, you wait for me!" ”

He Zhizhang didn't stop, he didn't even turn around, he was tired, he had to find a safe place before he could be found by those people.

Maybe because he was injured, He Zhizhang walked very slowly, and she was really chased by her.

He Zhizhang lowered his eyes, looked at the small fleshy paws hanging on his sleeve, a strange emotion flashed in his heart, and before he could react, the magic sound of the human child penetrated the eardrum again.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"It's none of your business." He Zhizhang shook off his little fleshy claws, but his strength was not well controlled, and he fell the person.

Ji Nanjin sat down on the ground, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, she was waiting for her beautiful brother to apologize to him, but the beautiful brother turned around and left without saying a word.

"Don't follow me anymore!"

Woo, my brother is so fierce.

Tears swirled wildly in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall, just like the stubborn little girl who refused to give up.

When he found that she was following again, He Zhizhang was a little irritable, and there were a few more red bloodshots under his eyes for no reason.

At that time, He Zhizhang was just a teenager, because of the special growth environment, the emotional aspect was relatively thin, the lack of empathy, and the patience was not good.

He stopped, looked at the human child a few steps away, and tried to scare the person away with his eyes, but unfortunately it didn't work very well.

Facing those big black grape-like eyes, He Zhizhang was defeated, and yelled at her in annoyance, "If you don't die if you don't die, you will follow!" ”

Ji Nanjin bit her jelly pink lip and followed her all the way to the edge of the rainforest, then stopped.

It's a long way from the beach, and you can still vaguely see the princess dress fluttering in the wind on the villa terrace.

When she came out, she left a note, saying that she and Aisha went to the beach to collect shells, and if she went far, her mother would not be able to find her.

Ji Nanjin struggled for a while, and didn't know what to think, so she lowered her head and rummaged through her small satchel and took out a piece of chocolate from it.

The chocolate was brought back by Xiao Junyi from abroad, and it was wrapped in solid milk, which was particularly delicious, because there was only the last one left, Ji Nanjin was reluctant to eat it, and she carried it with her like a baby.

The chocolate melted a little because of the weather, but that didn't affect its deliciousness.

The footsteps behind her stopped for a while, and He Zhizhang thought she had given up, but she caught up again at the edge of the rainforest.

"Brother, this is for you."

The girl ran a little panting, sweating, and the little fat was holding something that looked like chocolate in her hand and sent it to him like a treasure.

He Zhizhang's brows were furrowed, obviously impatient, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed that someone was approaching, and there was more than one.

A familiar feeling struck, the blood at the bottom of his eyes rose and fell, and He Zhizhang waved away the person who was in the way, "Go away!" ”

Ji Nanjin fell to the ground, and the chocolate also fell, being ruthlessly run over by the soles of her shoes, and blending perfectly with the earth.

Tears rolled down without warning, drop after drop, Ji Nanjin felt sorry for the chocolate and her ass on the other, and it must have hurt if she fell twice in a row.

Forget it, the beautiful brother refuses to go back with her, let's go to Dad, Dad is so smart, there must be a way.

In the forest not far away, the young man's unwilling roar came, making Ji Nanjin stop.

It's a pretty brother.

Ji Nanjin typically remembered what she had eaten, she had forgotten the unpleasant thing just now, and grabbed Aisha and walked into the rainforest.

He Zhizhang was pressed to the ground, and the smell of blood in his throat almost drove people crazy, and at this moment, a pair of pink leather sandals appeared in his sight.

"Brother?"

The familiar voice awakened He Zhizhang's vague consciousness, and he suddenly began to struggle, "You idiot! ”

The voice was cracked and hoarse, like a beast cornered.

Ji Nanjin was frightened, looking at the blood on the young man's face, his big misty eyes were full of fear, "Are you bad people?" ”

The 'bad guy' walked towards her with a wicked smile, and He Zhizhang struggled even more, yelling at the child who didn't know anything:

"Run—"

Ji Nanjin didn't run far before she was caught up, and she carried it back like a chicken and threw it in front of He Zhizhang.

He Zhizhang stared at Ji Nanjin with red eyes, but the latter only knew how to cry, and called his parents indistinctly, obviously frightened.

Originally, there was only one goal, but now there is an accident.

For this witness who appeared rashly, the mercenaries decided to take the person away first after discussion, so as not to alarm the police here, He Zhizhang resisted to no avail, and was knocked unconscious and taken away together.
