"Look at it, it's coming."

"I know, I know, you run behind it first!"

"Quick, dodge to the left and jump on top of it."

"I'll jump up, you'll go to college in the back."

"Be careful, don't get dumped by it!"

"If this throws me off, I'll eat your TV ......"

“GAMEOVER——”

In despair, Yirui threw the handle aside and lay on the ground.

"Well, it's a mistake, a mistake, hehe......" I scratched my head and said with some embarrassment.

"How many times have I told you?" She closed her eyes, stretched, and looked a little tired and said, "This place should be careful to hide from its tail, you are always clumsy in how you do things!" ”

"One more time, one more time will definitely be over."

Yirui sat up, squinted her eyes, yawned, pouted and said, "Hey, you always make mistakes, I've been trying this level for almost half an hour, it's so boring~"

"Give me another chance, please!"

This is how we go about our daily lives during this time.

After the exams in November, my life with Yirui has returned to the same relaxed state as before.

In the past month, in addition to completing the day's homework efficiently and efficiently every day, I will also play video games for an hour or two every night with Yirui.

Because Yirui has already received full marks in three elective subjects, there is no need for Yirui to participate in the second elective exam in April next year. This also means that the study of physics, chemistry and biology in the three courses of Yirui's high school career ends here, and in the following physics, chemistry and biology classes, Yirui can choose to stay in the classroom to listen to the lectures, or study on her own in the self-study classroom of the third year of high school, and directly prepare for the Chinese, mathematics and foreign language college entrance examinations in June.

In fact, for me, after I got three 97 points, I also kind of planned to just throw away these three subjects and easily face the remaining three subjects. But Yirui said: "In the college entrance examination, if you are one point short, you will be thousands of students in the province, so if you can get one more point, you have to get one more point." According to her advice, even if I only deducted 9 points from the total score of the selection part, I should still try again in the second selection in April and strive to get a few 100 points.

But for both of us, it was a time of complete self-indulgence. Although it is approaching the end of the semester and we are about to face the joint entrance examination in the city, for us who have succeeded most of our high school careers, these small exams are no longer so important. For me, now is the time to relax and recharge my batteries for the next semester.

"I want juice."

I stared at the screen tightly, moving my hands quickly, and said to Yirui-san on the side.

"It's too cold outside, go get it yourself." Yi Rui also stared intently at the rapidly changing picture in front of her, and replied while doing various difficult operations.

You're not the only one who feels cold, and my thin matchstick-like body can't stop the biting cold wind outside.

"If I win this game, will you help me get it?"

"Watch the prison, its tail is about to flick over!" Instead of answering me, Yirui-san loudly reminded me of the big tail that had killed me thousands of times.

I tensed my nerves and focused all my attention on my next critical step—

The tail is gradually rising! I could feel the thumb of my right hand trembling wildly, "Three, two, one—" I said silently. As the monster's tail slammed down on my character, I pressed the "×" button on the handle with all my strength, and the monster's big tail was already close at hand, was it about to fail again? I closed my eyes in horror.

"Great, keep refueling, it's just the last little bit left!"

I breathed a sigh of relief as I managed to ride to the monster's neck.

"Finally won ......"

This time, I lay on the ground weakly, as if I was about to die.

"I did a key operation, as for ......"

Yirui leaned over and poked me in the head.

"It's really up to the operation, I don't believe you can try it."

"I said a long time ago that I would let me operate your role...... "Yi Rui said unconvinced, "I don't know who it is, I keep saying that I will give him another chance, give him another chance." ”

"Alright," I squirmed on the ground, "can you help me get a glass of juice?" ”

"You're a big man! Besides, look at me in my pajamas, you can just touch it yourself to see how thin it is. ”

Hey, forget it, it's not like a real man to let a girl in thin pajamas go out and get cold.

I jumped up from the ground with a carp.

"What do you want to drink?"

Yirui-san also got up from the ground, knelt on the bed, and replied, "As before, tomato juice." ”

"I don't understand why you always like to drink tomato juice!"

"It is said on the Internet that tomato juice can be whitened!" Yirui said, "You go and come back quickly, and you will go back after playing for a while." ”

"It's okay, it's Saturday, and I don't have to go to class tomorrow."

As soon as I opened the door, a strong cold wind pressed towards me. As soon as I took half a step out of the room, I was surrounded by the chill that penetrated into my bone marrow, and made me shiver.

"Ahh

All of a sudden, I came outside from the comfortable heating, and my body was still a little uncomfortable.

I went to the kitchen, opened the side cabinet of the fridge, took out the juice and poured it into a glass on the dining table.

"Ding-dong-"

"Huh?" As I walked back with the juice, the doorbell rang.

"Yujie, you go and open the door by the way, remember to take a look at the cat's eye first!"

"I'll bring it to you first." I replied to Yirui-san in the room, and then shouted at the people outside in response, "Wait a minute, I'll be right away!" ”

It's strange, it's already nine o'clock in the evening, who would suddenly ring the doorbell at this time?

"It's coming!"

I walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eye.

It was a man in a black coat.

Yirui-san also walked out with a coat on, and she asked behind me, "Who is it?" ”

"Ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang again.

I squinted, trying to see the logo on his clothes through the cat's eye.

"Wait, this seems to be- the police?"

"Huh?" Yirui was a little surprised, "You quickly hide in the bathroom, I'll open the door." ”

"Well," I replied in a whisper, "if he does anything to you, you scream loudly." ”

I hid in the bathroom in the bedroom as fast as I could, locking the door, and considering that all the doors of Eri's classmates could still be opened with a fixed key even if they were locked inside, I hid in a relatively spacious locker by the way.

What will the police do? It's been a long time since Zhang Yu fought last time, and this visit shouldn't be for the last time. I remember that Yirui said last time that the police asked about the "Demon of Grass and Trees" last time.

Could it be that this time it is for the "Demon of Grass and Trees"?

"Hello."

In the cabinet, I can still clearly hear the conversation outside.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late......"

It was a familiar middle-aged man's voice.

"It's okay," Yi Rui's voice sounded quite calm, "You sit down first?" ”

I always feel that the man I saw in the cat's eyes just now, as well as the white-uniformed policemen I saw in August before, are investigated in a different way than the people's police in my impression. In other words, I'm starting to wonder if these men are impersonating.

"No, I'll be out soon." The man replied, "Your classmate, isn't Zhao Yujie here?" ”

"Not there."

"I just heard a response from a boy in the house, huh?"

Ah, damn it, I knew I wouldn't talk too much just now.

"Didn't you?" Yi Rui continued to reply, "I'm the only one living here, my parents have been out on business all the time. ”

"Do you know where he is?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

The voices grew clearer, and it seemed that their position was moving towards the bedroom.

"Can I get into the bedroom?"

"Oh, yes."

I don't know what the cops are going to do in the bedroom, but they are approaching the bathroom.

I clutched the long steel ruler I had just picked up from the dining table, and if this man did anything strange to Yirui, my steel ruler could still play a certain protective role.

"Eh, why are there two glasses of juice on the table?"

Oops, he had just poured two glasses of juice on the table, as well as the two handles on the bed, because he had come so suddenly, and he hadn't had time to clean them up.

"Ah......h

Yirui, don't panic...... You can just watch it and make up a reason.

"And the one on the bed, two handles?"

The man asked, as if in a specially accentuated tone.

"Two glasses of juice, orange juice and tomato juice, I use tomato juice to beautify my face, but it's too sour, so I have to drink some orange juice to press the taste." As for the two handles, see the handle storage bag on the bed? ”

One handle pouch can hold two handles, so it's not too much to take both out.

"This ......"

Do you have any questions? If you have any other questions to ask, please speak them all! I'm still wearing pajamas......" Yirui's tone gradually became stronger.

"Well, I have a rough idea of the situation."

Yirui, what a job! I didn't expect her to be able to explain this scene so calmly but so clearly in such a short period of time that it seemed that there must have been two people.

"Is there anyone in this bathroom?"

"No one."

It's over, I'm still here in the bathroom!

"Click-"

The bathroom was opened by the door that I had locked behind my back.

Don't open the cabinet, there's nothing in the cabinet......

"Well, it seems that there is no one else."

The man seemed to sigh and said with some disappointment.

"Does someone like me look like someone who would lie to you?"

"But, miss," he asked, "why do you lock this door?" ”

Listening to the footsteps, he seemed to be suspicious of the cabinet here, and walked towards this side.

"This door doesn't close tightly, and if it doesn't lock it, it will float open on its own, so I usually lock it." Yirui replied, "If you don't believe me, come and try it." ”

"Quack—quack—"

He tried the door, and then said, "Well, I won't bother you too much." Finally, I would like to take the liberty of asking, do you know anything about the 'Grass and Tree Demon' in your school? ”

He really came for the "Demon of Grass and Trees"!

"I know."

Hey, Yirui-san, don't tell me about me!

"Can you tell me about that?"

"I've heard from my classmates that the 'Grass Demon' usually stays in the garden and then attacks some of their passing classmates, but it is said that the 'Grass Demon' doesn't seem to hurt anyone."

Fortunately, this answer was the saying that was circulating among the students in the school at that time.

"Have you ever seen the 'Demon of Grass and Trees'?"

"......No," replied Yirui.

"Okay......" he pushed open the bathroom door and walked out, "sorry to bother you so late." ”

"It's okay," Irry replied in a gentle tone, "You walk slowly." ”

Great, I curled up in the dark and cramped cabinet and breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the cabinet in front of me was opened, and a strong white light surrounded me at once.

"Huh?"

"It's me, stupid!" Yirui-san, poked her head out from the side.

"Ah," I said, crawling out of the cupboard, "why did you come here without a sound!" ”

"Hee-hee," Yirui-san laughed when she saw my appearance, "I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed to huddle in the cabinet, looking at yourself, covered in dust." ”

"What's the solution?" I saw her gloating and said, "If you don't hide, something will happen!" ”

"However, you are quite smart," Yi Rui walked over and gently helped me dust off my clothes with her hand, "I was really panicked when he was about to push the door into the bathroom just now!" Unexpectedly, you actually hid yourself in the cabinet, you know that I was really scared out of my soul just now! ”

I looked at her now and looked a little happy, and said, "I don't think you're very good now, and I listened to your voice quite calmly just now......

"What the hell!" She said, "You should try it, a girl is only wearing pajamas, and she has to face such a big man in a police uniform, what if she is violated by him!" I'm pretending to be calm, people's hearts are about to pop out! ”

"By the way, I'm going to call my mom."

The police visited Yirui's home twice, and it seemed that they were all here because of something about me. But the strange thing is that last time, in August, I was in front of the door of Yirui's house, and I happened to hear them say that they would come to my house to look for me, but until today, I haven't seen any police at my house during the day, which has always puzzled me. I think I'll have to make a phone call and ask my mom if the police have been in her house too.

"Hey, Mom." The call went through.

"Eh, son, what's the matter?" Mom asked.

"Mom, have any police officers been to our side?"

"No ......" Mom's tone became eager again after hearing "police", "Police? Why the police again? What's wrong? ”

"It's okay, it's good that no police come to our house."

Mom listened and paused for a moment.

"Did something happen, baby son?"

Yirui walked up to me, gently poked me on the shoulder, and whispered, "I'll talk to your mother." ”

Yirui told her mother in detail about what had just happened, but she didn't mention anything about the "Demon of Plants and Trees".

"You can't be fake, right?" Mom sounded anxious.

Fake? Is it the same as what I suspected at first?

"I don't think the police would be like this, I broke into someone's house in the middle of the night to ask if our family Yujie was there, and if you wanted to find Yujie, you didn't find our house, I think you encountered a fraud......

"Ah, Auntie, what should I do then?"

"You still have to be careful yourself, girls like you who live alone should be extra careful, in case they come to do bad things, it will be dangerous!"

That's right, if I'm not at Yirui's house, and the person who comes to the door is a robber or something, then Yirui's life and safety will be violated!

"Auntie, what if I run into them again in the future, and I don't know if it's a real police officer now, because he showed a police ID card or something, and he looks no different from a policeman."

"Yirui, Auntie told you, no matter what happens in the future, be careful, if we Yujie is not with you, you don't open the door to other strangers, you must know, if you don't do anything wrong, the police will not come to the door. Anyway, it's not Sunday, you two and your aunt go to the public security bureau to report to the police, after making a record, the police from the public security bureau will not come to the door to ask. As for whether it is a fake police officer or not, we will wait for the results of their investigation. ”

"Hmmm......"

"And Yirui, in the future, you ask Yujie to pay attention to it, let him protect you well, and you will give him food and drink when you go to your house, but this guy can't even protect you!"

"Got it, thank you, Auntie."

"Well, it's okay, let Yujie stay at your house later in the future, or take a look at it then, if you don't mind, you can come to live in our house, although our community is broken, but it's quite safe......"

"Mom!" I yelled from the side.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow, it's past nine o'clock, Yujie will stay with you for a while, if he still dares to come to the door, you can call me again."

"Well, goodbye, Auntie."

Yirui gently lowered the earpiece.

"Did you hear that?" Yirui poked my stomach and said, "A big man, even I can't protect me, like words!" ”

"I see......" I said.

"Why don't you hurry up and help Hongu get a pair of cotton slippers."

She sat on the couch, shaking her bare feet.

"Didn't you wear slippers just now?"

"That's it, I'm a girl, I'm still very scared in the face of the police, whether it's true or not, and I'm ...... when I'm nervous."

"Are you stupid, walking barefoot on the floor on such a cold day is going to catch a cold!"

I put her cotton slippers down in front of her and slowly lifted her up from the couch.

"Ah, what an ice ......"

"It's your own hand ice......

Yi Rui's hands were really cold, and the feeling of touching her hands was like touching the marble floor when she went to get her slippers just now.

"Go back to the bedroom, don't catch a cold."

For the time being, I draped my coat over her shoulders and followed her back to the bedroom.

Yirui's face was blown bloodless by the cold wind outside. She smiled and handed me my handle, which made me feel a little distressed to look at.

"Hurry up, let's move on." She said.

"Oh......"

"Can you help me block it! It's easy for me to be beaten to death when I study in college later! ”

Yirui-san, frowning, complained.

"I see, let's do it again!"

"I don't even know how to block it for me, really!"

I think, as my mother said, as a boy, I can't protect Yirui's classmates at all, whether it's in games or in real life......
