"How's it taste?" Ye Qianxi just picked up a little bit with chopsticks, and Xiao Mubei couldn't wait to ask.

He likes the noodles of this house very much, so he subconsciously hopes that Xi'er will like it.

Probably children are like this, and they want to be recognized by others for the things they like.

"Yes, it's delicious." Ye Qianxi squinted her eyes and had a bright smile on her face.

For a moment, Xiao Mubei even thought that the person sitting opposite him was not a little girl, but an elf who had fallen into the mortal dust.

The two of them ate slender with relish, not noticing that someone in the corner was staring at them all the time.

The proprietress of the noodle restaurant is called Xu Ping, and everyone who comes to eat noodles likes to call her Sister Ping. However, what many people don't know is that this noodle restaurant is not a simple noodle restaurant.

Xu Ping is actually a member of a mysterious organization, and this noodle restaurant is actually only for the convenience of Xu Ping to do things for the organization.

In other words, the real owner of the noodle shop is not Xu Ping, but the boss of the mysterious organization.

This mysterious organization is mainly to seize the elemental spar in the woman's body, and Xu Ping's task is to be responsible for handing over the target to the people of the organization after being stunned.

Generally, elemental mages will have corresponding elemental crystals in their bodies. The Elemental Hedron stores all the elemental spiritual power of the Elemental Mage, and once it is removed, the Mage will lose the corresponding magical ability.

Xu Ping didn't know why the people of the organization wanted so many elemental crystals, let alone why they only needed women, and she was not even willing to help the organization do bad things.

But her parents are in the hands of the organization, and she can't and dare not disobey the organization's orders.

And just now, Xu Ping received a secret mission from the organization, and the target Huo Ran pointed to Ye Qianxi, who was sitting opposite Xiao Mubei.

Xu Ping was a little puzzled, in the past, the target of the organization was some single adult women. She couldn't understand why the organization had suddenly turned its attention to a six-year-old girl.

But despite her doubts, Xu Ping didn't dare to ask more. After all, she's just doing things for people.

Xu Ping looked at the little girl who was enjoying the noodles, and her eyes showed a touch of unbearability and sympathy. Then he disappeared silently into the shadows of the corner.

After eating noodles, the two children strolled through the streets of Phoenix.

As he walked, Xiao Mubei suddenly opened his mouth: "Next time, don't wait at the door for so long." ”

Ye Qianxi said glutinously: "However, I want to play with Brother Xiaobei." ”

The girl's innocent appearance made Xiao Mubei a little unbearable: "Don't you have any other friends?" ”

Ye Qianxi shook her head.

She only knew Brother Xiaobei. Because she rarely went out before, and occasionally went out with that person. So I didn't get a chance to make any friends.

And after that last time that happened, that person limited the number of times she went out. She wasn't even allowed to go out all winter.

"That'...... Where do you go to school? Xiao Mubei suddenly remembered that she had been guarding the door for a day today, and she should not be in school.

Sure enough, Xiao Mubei shook his head when he saw Ye Qianxi: "I'm not studying." ”

Xiao Mubei thought for a while, and finally said to Ye Qianxi: "Why don't you come to our school to audit?" Fengling College recruits some potential auditors every year, and it is free of charge and does not need to pay tuition. ”

"Is that okay?!" Ye Qianxi looked surprised.

Actually, she really wanted to go to school, but the person never agreed. But she also understands that he is also doing it for his own good. Because she is not suitable to appear in a place like a school, otherwise something very scary will happen.

Thinking of this, the trace of joy that had just risen in Ye Qianxi's heart disappeared and turned into loss: "Forget it......"

Xiao Mubei didn't understand, why the girl was obviously very happy at the beginning, but in the end she still refused?

But he didn't go any further. Xu grew up in an environment that made him understand that there are some things that can't be asked too much.

The two walked side by side on the side of the street until it was getting late and the sun was setting.

Ye Qianxi looked at Xiao Mubei anxiously: "Oops! What time is it? ”

Xiao Mubei looked at the watch on his wrist: "It's half past six." ”

"It's miserable, I have to go home before seven o'clock." Ye Qianxi's face was flustered, and it would take an hour to get home from here, "I'm sorry Brother Xiaobei, I can't accompany you today, I have to go home quickly." ”

"Do you need me to send you?"

"No, my house is far away." Ye Qianxi waved his hand, "Brother Xiaobei, let's go home early, I'll come back to you tomorrow!" ”

"Okay." Although he was a little worried, Xiao Mubei still nodded. Xi'er deliberately concealed the identity of her family, and if he insisted on sending her, it would not be good.

"Goodbye, brother Xiaobei." With that, Ye Qianxi ran towards the other end of the street.

"Wait." Xiao Mubei didn't know what he suddenly thought, and reached out to grab Ye Qianxi's wrist.

Ye Qianxi turned around, with a puzzled face: "What's the matter, Brother Xiaobei?" ”

"Well, you can think about it again. Tomorrow afternoon, after school, the school will hold a public assessment at the school gate. Those who pass the assessment can audit Fengling for free for one month. And the treatment of auditors is very good, there will be a free lunch or something. I don't know why, Xiao Mubei just wanted her to come to the place where he studied.

She said she had no friends, so why shouldn't he?

So he hopes to be friends with Xi'er. Friends who can go to class together, eat noodles together after school, and stroll the streets of Phoenix together.

Ye Qianxi thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Xiao Mubei smiled.

As the sun set, two long shadows pulled out of the ground, fading away.

The two children were separated on the street side of Phoenix.
