Just as Jiang Qiao turned into the road directly facing the school gate, a group of people hurried over there and almost collided with him.

As they passed by, Jiang Qiao glanced at them.

The man at the head was wearing a suit, with a big waist and a round waist, his brows were tightened, and he had an indescribable aura.

The man also glanced at Jiang Qiao, with a kind of indifference like looking at an ant.

Jiang Qiao always felt that his face was a little familiar, but he didn't take it to heart. There are more people who are familiar with their faces.

On both sides of the main road at the entrance, food stalls gradually gathered.

Jiang Qiao walked to the edge of one of the stalls.

The stall owner was busy bringing out all kinds of ingredients, and he looked up at Jiang Qiao:

"What do you want to eat?"

"Let's have a finger cake, add eggs and intestines, don't be spicy."

"Okay."

The neon of the night reflects off the buildings in the distance and illuminates the smooth ground of this road.

Jiang Qiao walked back and forth around nearly a dozen stalls, and after a while, he had several more snacks in his hand.

After the evening self-study class, a few students gradually ran out of the school gate, probably to catch the subway or bus.

The flow of people at the school gate is getting louder and louder, and the sound of frolicking and talking is getting noisier and louder. Some of them walked directly, and some of them hesitated and then walked to the stalls.

The stall owners are nervous and expectant, hoping that their stalls will attract more students.

Jiang Qiao stood on the edge of the avenue, tiptoeing at the school gate, and in the surging crowd, he finally saw Cheng Ruoxi.

She still wore a high ponytail and an ordinary school uniform, talking and laughing with a girl with braids and glasses walking beside her.

Of course, Cheng Ruoxi didn't notice Jiang Qiao, but the girl with braids next to her noticed Jiang Qiao standing motionless when she looked left and right.

Jiang Qiao knew her, and they had crossed paths because of Cheng Ruoxi.

The braided girl turned her elbow at the stunned Cheng Ruoxi, and her eyes gradually became ambiguous, which is a kind of ambiguity unique to adolescent girls after discovering something.

She pointed her other hand to Jiangqiao.

Cheng Ruoxi followed her hand, her eyes crossed the crowd, the bright moonlight, the orange street lamps, the shouting, the noise, and the ambiguous eyes of the girl next to her.

It was as if nothing existed, and there was only silence between heaven and earth.

In this stable tranquility, Cheng Ruoxi only saw Jiang Qiao's eyes.

……

"You didn't study late today?" Cheng Ruoxi approached and looked at him, smiling unconsciously.

The crowd on the street is thinning, and the girl with braids before has also slipped away under the excuse of slipping away.

"No, I took a leave of absence from the teacher." Jiang Qiao said honestly.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Cheng Ruoxi looked at him.

"No, it's just something." Jiang Qiao hurriedly changed the topic, handed her the bag of food in his hand, and was still steaming: "By the way, I brought you a little food."

"So much!" Cheng Ruoxi looked at the large and small packaging bags in his hand in surprise, crying and laughing, "Are you raising pigs?" ”

……

After getting off the subway and walking on the way home, Cheng Ruoxi was obviously in a good mood.

She hummed all the way, and even the air became warm.

When she was studying on her own just late, she heard that Zhu Guanhua had gone through the transfer procedures and would not appear here again.

As soon as she thought of this, her mood, which had been cloudy for several days, immediately cleared.

……

They walked back to Jiangqiao's house.

Cheng Ruoxi stood at the door, looking at the courtyard and not speaking.

The stone table in the courtyard had been pulled away by Jiang Qiao, and those marbles were sold for a good price.

The moon drifted behind the dark clouds, and the wind blew whirring.

She tightened her coat and sighed, "Jiangqiao, it seems that winter is coming."

Jiang Qiao didn't know what to say, and suddenly thought that Cheng Ruoxi's birthday was in winter.

She continued to say to herself: "Winter is coming, it's time to get cold, and it's time for the New Year. If grandma is still there, it will be time to nag again for the New Year. ”

"Jiang Qiao," she turned around and said with a smile, "This year's New Year, we are still together, okay?"

……

On Sunday morning, Cheng Ruoxi made breakfast and instructed Jiang Qiao to eat it while it was hot, and then hurried home with his luggage.

After all this, she had to rush to class.

Without the harassment of those villains, she can go back to her home with peace of mind.

Jiang Qiao wasn't too worried about this, after all, she still had a black cat that could be called a monster at home.

Moreover, Jiang Qiao saw that Xiao Hei was becoming more and more spiritual, but it had only been in contact with magic for more than a month, and its affinity for the elements was simply terrifying.

Look at yourself again, but he is just a first-level magic apprentice who has only mastered a few small magics.

Not even a dumb cat can compare, and his old face is about to be lost.

So, he decided to take advantage of the meeting with Sylvie tonight to ask her more about magic and how to rise to the rank of second-level magic apprentice.

……

The dusk was low, and there was no light in the office, which seemed silent and gloomy.

Zhu Qiangzhong wore a crisp uniform and sat at a black desk.

He clasped his chin with his hands. The eyebrows are twisted into a Sichuan shape.

His son Zhu Guanhua is still lying in the hospital, with his legs mutilated and his future unknown. What's even worse is that after he found out that he was crippled, he howled like crazy in the hospital all day long, which made Zhu Qiangzhong feel bad.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and thought of the fugitive who caused all this.

He had countless ways to torture that man, and as long as he was caught, he could be worse off dead.

But at this time, a phone call from above came and asked him not to continue the investigation, and everything was left to others to be responsible.

Zhu Qiangzhong knew whose request it was, and in front of that organization, even if he had great power, he was just an ant.

It can be said that the organization has the highest authority, and they carry everything in the future.

But how can you be willing?

He is old and has climbed high enough, in this position that is difficult for ordinary people to reach in their lifetime, he wants to go to higher mountains in the first half of his life, but he only wants his son to be safe and sound in the second half of his life.

Even if he does a lot of evil, as long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, he has his own dad to wipe his ass for him.

However, now he can only watch his life be destroyed.

There was silence for a long time, the sun had set, and the office was terribly dark.

Ding——

At that moment, the cell phone in front of him rang.

The screen shows a stranger from an unknown territory.

This is his private number, known only to his son.

Since it can't be his son calling, then ......

Zhu Qiangzhong stared at his phone quietly and didn't make any moves.

The bells collided in the dark air for a long time.

Even if the phone automatically prompts "no answer" and hangs up, it will call again after an interval of more than ten seconds.

After calling for the third time, Zhu Qiangzhong picked up his mobile phone.

"Hey." He said.

"Mr. Zhu, hello." On the other end of the line was an illusory voice that couldn't tell the difference.

The voice revealed a strange one:

"About your son, I thought, we can talk."
