Ji Kairui wanted to call Xina and return the book to her. But after looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock. He thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a little inappropriate to ask out a 'girl' in the evening, so he changed his mind. He didn't plan to go home tonight, so he found a hotel nearby and opened a single room to stay in.

Lying on the 'bed' of the hotel, Ji Kairui was idle, opened the book "Kafka by the Sea" in his hand, felt a little boring at first, looked at it, and gradually became interested, and felt that the protagonist in the book, the fifteen-year-old boy, was somewhat similar to himself. Before I knew it, I finished reading the book.

The next day, Ji Kairui got up very early to 'get up'. He washed up and looked at the time—8:50. After a moment's hesitation, he 'reached' his phone and dialed the number of Xinna, which was written on the bookmark.

The other party quickly answered the phone: "Hey, hello. ”

Hearing this silver bell-like sound, Ji Kairui's heart seemed to be 'touched'. After a few seconds, he said, "Are you Xinna?" ”

"Ah, it's you?" The voice in the microphone revealed a hint of joy.

Ji Kairui was stunned. "Do you know who I am?"

"The boy who helped me out of the ramen restaurant yesterday, right?"

She actually remembered my voice. "Yes, it's me."

"Did you pick up my book?"

"That's right. Can you come out now? I'll give you back the book. ”

"Okay, where do we meet?"

Ji Kairui thought for a moment. "It's the ramen restaurant from yesterday."

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes!"

hung up the phone, Ji Kairui's heart throbbed. He could sense that Sina wanted to meet him too, and not just for the book.

Ji Kairui walked to the ramen restaurant as fast as he could, but found that Xina came faster than him and was already standing at the 'door' of the store. When Xinna saw Ji Kairui, she smiled brightly and waved her hand to greet him: "Hi! ”

Ji Kairui walked up to Sina and handed her the book. Xinna held the book to her chest and said, "Thank you! Then he glanced at the ramen restaurant and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Ji Kairui asked.

"You're such an interesting person. Wouldn't it be nice to pick up my book at a ramen restaurant and 'hand' it over to the boss? I had to pay it back myself, but I was asked to come here and get it. What's the difference? ”

Ji Kairui paused for a moment and said, "It's different, I can take it back and take a look." ”

"Oh, you read the book?"

"Hmm."

"How's that, is it pretty?"

"It's okay."

Xinna looked at the cover of the book, and then looked at Ji Carrey: "I think you are 'quite like' with the boy in the book." ”

She thinks so too? Ji Kairui smiled faintly.

"Let's stop standing at the door." Xinna said generously, "You came all the way to return the book to me, and I invited you to eat ramen." ”

Ji Kairui had this intention, but he didn't expect to be said by Xinna first. He nodded.

The two of them walked into the store, and the boss's son Xiaowei recognized Ji Kairui at a glance, and happily ran over and said, "Big brother, you're here!" ”

"yes." Ji Kairui 'touched' Xiaowei's head.

The boss came over with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you two for coming again!" What kind of noodles to eat today? ”

The two of them each ordered a bowl of ramen, and the boss immediately went to do it, and after a while, two bowls of hot ramen were served, each bowl with two thick pieces of char siu, which made Xina a little embarrassed.

They ate the noodles and drank the soup slowly, as if they wanted the time to be as long as possible. After eating for a while, Sina said, "Would you mind telling me who you are?" ”

Ji Kairui stopped eating noodles and looked up. "What?"

"I mean, yesterday's hooligans, 'bastards' and 'bastards', who were 'quite arrogant' at the beginning, why did they become groveling to you later?" Sina blinked and said, "It's like they're scared of you." ”

Ji Kairui didn't know how to answer, he didn't want Xinna to know her underworld background, and he didn't want to lie to deceive her, so he just kept silent.

Sina could see that he was in a bit of a quandary. "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

The two ate silently for a while, and Ji Kairui said, "You are 'quite brave'." A 'female' child was not afraid of those hooligans and 'stood up'. Not easy. ”

"I'm not used to seeing them bully people, especially children." Xina said.

"But have you ever thought about what you would do if no one helped you out yesterday and you faced those hooligans who teased you alone?"

"I didn't think about it so much, it's a big deal to fight with them." Sina clenched her fists.

Ji Kairui smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "With your fist, can you win?" ”

"If you can't fight, you have to fight, you can't let them succeed, right?" Xina thought for a moment, "Or, I'll talk to them first, and then call my dad while they're not paying attention, and let him know that something happened to my side, and he'll send someone over right away." ”

Ji Kairui was stunned for a moment, put down the soup spoon in his hand, and looked at Xinna: "What does your dad do?" ”

"Ah...... It's nothing. Xina knew that she had slipped her mouth and covered up embarrassedly, "I just ...... That's just an assumption. ”

Ji Kairui looked at her for a few seconds, lowered his eyes, and secretly wondered in his heart - could she be like me, with some kind of background at home?

Xinna saw that Ji Kairui was thinking about this problem, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, do you like to read?" ”

"I don't usually see it much."

"Then why did you take my book to read?"

Because it's your book. Ji Kairui didn't say what was in his heart. "I thought the title of this book was 'very' special, so I wanted to see it."

When it comes to books, Sina gushes: "The author of this book, Haruki Murakami, is one of my favorite authors. And this "Kafka by the Sea" is my favorite book he wrote. Kafka, the protagonist of the book, is a lonely and tenacious teenager......"

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something important and opened her mouth wide. "Oh, after all this time, I still don't know what your name is!"

The other party smiled faintly. "My name is Ji Kairui."

"Ji Kairui, 'very' nice name, I remember ......" Xinna suddenly stopped and looked at the big boy in front of her in surprise.

Ji Kairui noticed the change in Xinna's expression and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything strange about my name?" ”

"Can you tell me what those three words are?"

Ji Kairui took out his mobile phone, typed the words "Ji Kairui" on the notepad, and showed it to Xinna. When Xina saw these three words, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Are you tutoring at the Mingde Foreign Language Training Center?" ”

"That's right."

"Class 13?"

Ji Kairui was slightly surprised. "How do you know?"

Sina didn't know how to answer. She remembered a piece of paper that Hang Yi had shown her, and on that paper there were the names of 50 people in Class 13. Among them, the one that impressed her the most was Ji Kairui - the name is crossed with a black line.

Ji Carey could be a dangerous figure. Hang Yi: They seem to think so.

His father seems to be the boss of an underworld organization—Xinna remembered what Lu Hua said again. Referring to what happened yesterday, she understood why those little 'bastards' and 'bastards' respected him after recognizing him.

The most crucial point is that Ji Kairui is in class 13, which means that he is a superpower. Xinna's heart tightened. What are his superpowers? Friend or foe?

Ji Kairui found that Xinna was confused, and asked again, "How do you know that I am from Mingde Class 13?" ”

"Ah......" Xina came back from her trance, "I'm also tutoring in Mingde, I'm in Class 19." ”

"Oh? Such a coincidence. Ji Kairui paused. But how can you have that reaction when you hear my name? Have you heard of me before? ”

"Hmm." Xina admitted.

"It's certainly not a good reputation." Ji Kairui said lightly.

"No, it's not." Xina shook her head and said, "They just said that you are more withdrawn, just follow ...... Tamura Kafka is about the same. ”

Ji Kairui looked into Xinna's eyes, and the two were silent for a moment.

Xinna hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "You're a superpower, right?" ”

Ji Kairui opened his mouth slightly. "You know what happened in Class 13?"

"Yes."

Ji Kairui groaned for a moment and admitted: "That's right, I'm a superpower. ”

Sina asked worriedly, "Will you do what the 'Old Gods' say?" ”

"The Old Gods?" Ji Kairui scoffed. "You mean that competition? Bored. ”

"So you're not going to fight the people in your class?" Sina asked hurriedly.

"Unless someone else messes with me." Ji Kairui said.

"That means you won't attack anyone, right?" Xina almost immediately persuaded Ji Kairui to join the Guardian League.

"You seem to be concerned about this." "What do you have to do with this? ”

"I ...... I just don't want to see people in the same class fighting each other. Sina shook her head and said, "I can't witness such a tragedy happening. ”

Ji Kairui was silent for a long time and said, "If this is what you don't want to see, I will try to avoid this from happening." ”

A warm current welled up in Xinna's heart. "I know, you're a good guy."

Ji Kairui waved his hand: "I can't afford to be a good person." At best, I don't be a bad person. ”

Xinna looked at the cool boy in front of her and smiled sweetly.

After eating the ramen, Sina rushed to pay. As they walked out of the ramen shop, Ji Kairui said, "We'll meet again, right?" ”

"If you wish to meet with me." Xinna looked into Ji Kairui's eyes and said softly, "By the way, I forgot to mention just now, I like Murakami's 'Haruka' tree, and I also like Kafka by the Sea, but my favorite is the protagonist of the book - goodbye." ”

After saying this, Xinna's cheeks turned crimson and she turned to leave. Ji Kairui stared at her back for a long time, and his heart fluctuated.

In a shop across the street, a man watched Ji Kairui and Xina through a glass window. After they separated, the man 'touched' his phone and made a call to someone:

"Mr. Biru, I know how to deal with Hang Yi and Ji Kairui, there is a simpler and more effective way than the original plan. Yes, I figured it out......"

Helenko made a phone call as he walked out of the store and blended into the crowd. F
