The night gradually covers every inch of the room. Star Swirl hesitated for a long time as she stood in front of the closed door, but her raised hand finally slowly lowered and she walked out of the apartment silently.

There is no wind at night in summer, and you will sweat when you leave the air-conditioned house. Star Swirl was looking for something to fill her stomach with, so she chose a nearby convenience store.

"Welcome!" When the door opened, Star Swirl saw a smiling face, "Kid, what do you want to buy?" ”

Pointing to the steaming oden, Star Swirl smiled and said, "Four skewers, thank you, big sister." ”

The female clerk in her early thirties was called "big sister", and she couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and then asked, "Child, did you come out to buy things alone?" ”

Star Swirl nodded obediently.

"It's so sensible, but it's so late, you have to be careful when you go back alone." The female clerk looks out the window at the night, then at Star Swirl with some concern.

At this time, another person came in the door, still wearing a long-sleeved shirt in the hot summer, and when she saw Star Swirl, she couldn't help but let out a "huh", her eyes fell on the oden she was holding, and she was surprised, "Didn't that guy X prepare dinner?" ”

Star Swirl swallowed the balls in her mouth and replied, "He seems to be in a bad mood, Mr. Bai, did you just get off work?" ”

Bai Xiaohan picked out a few fast foods on the shelves and brought them to the cash register, "Yes, I didn't expect you to make do with dinner like me." ”

The two of them sit in the convenience store, Star Swirl biting on a straw and frowning.

Bai Xiaohan smiled: "What are you worried about? ”

"Mr. Bai, has Mr. X always been like this?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just... He never says what he thinks in his heart, even if it is a big trouble, he has to wait for others to figure out his thoughts. ”

Bai Xiaohan looked at the angry appearance of the girl's clothes in front of him, and nodded noncommittally.

"We had a problem with this before, and he promised me that I would not hide anything anymore, but today it started again! I was stuffy in my room, and I didn't bother to knock on the door. Teacher Bai, why do you think he is always like this? ”

Star Swirl let out her grumbling in one breath, but the smile on Bai Xiaohan's face was stagnant, and he didn't respond for a long time.

"Teacher Bai?" Star Swirl softly called again.

Bai Xiaohan came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, lowered his eyes and replied: "What bothered him in your eyes may be fleeting for him, you have to believe that he is very powerful." So don't worry. ”

"There's one thing I've always wanted to ask Teacher Bai..."Star Swirl looked at the beauty in front of her, feeling kind and detached. She will always be like this, with a gentle mask, showing people in the most appropriate posture.

"Just ask."

"What does Mr. Deer mean when he mentioned that I have a 'connection' with Mr. X?"

"'Connection' is a special bond, once formed, there is basically no way to cut it off," Bai Xiaohan replied very calmly, but the corners of his mouth still flashed a wry smile, "The two people who are connected can be said to be life and death together, no matter what time and space they are in, they will be closely linked." ”

Star Swirl is surprised, could it be because of his promise? Promise to stay by your side and live and die together? This promise seems a bit heavy.

For a moment, it seemed that any of the issues that bothered Star Swirl were less important, as long as he was like now, he would one day be completely open to himself, right?

"By the way," Star Swirl pursed her lips and continued, "Mr. X, has he ever 'connected' anyone else before?" ”

"Well, I think it's better for you to ask him yourself."

"But—" Star Swirl tried to continue, but the conversation between the two was interrupted by the ringing of Bai Xiaohan's cellphone.

"What... Are they here again? Uh-huh, understood, I'll go over now. Bai Xiaohan hung up the phone, immediately stood up and walked out the door.

"What happened?" Star Swirl followed.

"I'm going back to the office, why don't you go back to the apartment?" Bai Xiaohan walked in a hurry, and Star Swirl trotted to keep up.

"I—" she thought to herself, "I'll go with you." ”

The black heavy locomotive parked outside the door almost made Star Swirl dispel the idea of watching the excitement again, but seeing that Bai Xiaohan's face was clouded, Star Swirl still couldn't suppress her curiosity anyway. Stretch out your calves and step into the car.

As the locomotive stops in front of the police station, Star Swirl pats her heart and mutters quietly, "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death." ”

"I'm sorry, because I'm in a hurry, I drove a little faster." Bai Xiaohan took off his helmet and shook his long hair in a chic manner, and the pleasing image immediately made Star Swirl forget the horror he had just experienced.

Walking into the gate of the police station, the young police officer Xiao Wang greeted him, sweating profusely and said, "Sister Bai, you are here!" ”

"Is it still the same as before?" Bai Xiaohan asked as he walked.

"This time it's different, and she also sent a letter agreeing to meet, so her parents are like ants on a hot pot, and they can't calm down for a moment."

Wang walked a few steps before spotting Star Swirl following behind him, and looked out the door warily.

"Don't worry, Huang Mao didn't come." Star Swirl laughed.

Xiao Wang was stunned, it was not the first time he had seen Star Swirl, and he always felt that this child had a kind of maturity and wisdom beyond his years, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

In the office sat a couple in their forties, dressed in jewels, and the diamond ring on her hand alone was enough to blind a person's eyes.

And although the man beside her was silent and silent, he knew at a glance that he was an extremely difficult person to deal with. The sense of oppression brought by the momentum exuded by the body is not owned by ordinary people, it should be the kind of guy who is in a high position.

"It's been so long since this happened, don't you even have a solution?" The woman said dissatisfied.

Star Swirl gets closer to notice a girl sitting in a chair behind the woman.

He is about in his early twenties, with a pretty goose egg face and willow eyebrows and almond eyes. At this time, it seems that she has just cried, and her slightly reddened eyes look very cute, as if she is Sister Lin who fell from the sky.

"Mrs. Zhang, the things that Ling Ai received before are not enough to constitute the other party's criminal suspicion. Also, we have a police presence in the vicinity of the residence, so please rest assured. Bai Xiaohan replied.

The woman seemed to be very dissatisfied with Bai Xiaohan's answer, stood up from her seat abruptly, and slapped the table twice: "What does it mean not to constitute a criminal suspect?" Haven't we Miao Miao endured enough?! Call your leader out, I'm going to talk to him directly! ”

"I'm sorry, Sir Chen is not here today, you should tell me the latest situation." Bai Xiaohan's calm face could not see the slightest displeasure.

The woman wanted to continue to scold, but was pressed her shoulder by a hand, "I'm sorry Officer Bai, my wife is more anxious." ”
