"Spring algae."

The middle-aged woman standing in front of them was thin, with bulging cheekbones and no flesh, her eyebrows twisted under her gray hair, and anger brewing in her eyes.

"Aunt......"

Ji Chunzao's voice in response was weak, and she lowered her head again, blocking her expression with her long hair.

Aunt? Yan Jingxing blinked, that's it...... The "family" who threw away all the things that Ji Chunzao had collected before?

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at home and read a good book? ”

Facing the adult's gloomy face like a thunderstorm, the little girl subconsciously shrank her shoulders and did not speak again.

Then, Aunt Chunzao's gaze moved to Yan Jingxing's face.

"You ......"

"I'm Ji Chunzao's classmate."

"What are you doing here with her?"

Aunt Haruzo's tone was very stiff.

"The two of us are friends, I just moved to town, and many places feel unfamiliar, so I asked Ji Chunzao to help me find a place where I can buy what I want. Today is the weekend, so we're out together. ”

Yan Jingxing explained without changing his face.

“……”

The woman nodded noncommittally, her gaze fell back on her niece, and she suppressed her voice and accused:

"Why don't you hurry up and let go of your hand, and pull and pull with the man, like something!"

Ji Chunzao seemed to react at this time, and retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. Then, she was grabbed by her aunt's hand and staggered forward.

Yan Jingxing spread out his palms. Because I had been nervously held by the girl just now, after she let go, I felt a little unaccustomed.

"Aunt......"

"You go back with me now."

"Oh......"

Ji Chunzao's appearance looked dejected, but he still obediently walked behind the middle-aged woman.

Yan Jingxing looked at the girl's back, a little worried about her condition.

But after all, the other party was her elder, and he had no reason to stop it casually, and the two had planned to say goodbye......

After the two of them took a few steps, the anger in the middle-aged woman's eyes did not dissipate because of Ji Chunzao's obedient attitude, and she suddenly said to her niece in a low voice:

"Also, I'll keep an eye on you in the future, and I won't let you run around again. After that, you will stay at home on weekends, whether you have to do your homework, or staring at the TV, in short, you are not allowed to go anywhere else. ”

"Huh?"

The girl raised her head suddenly, her round dark eyes wide open, full of panicked emotions.

"Why?"

"You're still asking me why!" Her voice rose sharply, "Sneak out on the weekend and hang out with the guys, who knows what else you're going to do!" Do you want me to lose my face?! ”

Ji Chunzao cowered and took a step back, but the next moment, she tried to puff up her chest, her eyes covered by bangs looked directly at her aunt's face, and her clear voice was also louder.

"I didn't do anything bad with him!"

"How dare you say that......"

may be because this child rarely resists adults, and this sudden retort completely angered the woman.

"Do you know how much of a shame you've lost in my usual bizarre behavior?! Now that the neighbors know about you, they are laughing behind your back, and your uncle should not tolerate you living in my house because he did something wrong in the first place! ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Let's go, come home with me, don't be embarrassed here!"

The middle-aged woman said, grabbing the little girl's arm hard, planning to drag Ji Chunzao home like this.

Yan Jingxing, who witnessed this scene, began to frown tightly.

He just saw the appearance of the two arguing, and he was still hesitating, "Should you not be involved in this kind of housework", although Chunzao seems to be criticized a little miserably, but which child was not scolded by the family?

Besides, this year, when I saw two junior high school students going out shopping on weekends, it was more normal for adults to worry about whether they were in early love or something.

But when he saw the woman doing it roughly, all the worries and reasons of that moment were left behind by him.

……

Ji Chunzao's mouth was closed tightly and she didn't speak anymore, but her attitude was clearly still resisting, and the angry woman raised her slap to scare her, in a posture that was about to fan her-

But at this moment, a figure came from not far away. Yan Jingxing ran to them in three steps and two steps,

"Hey!"

He quickly reached out and grabbed Aunt Harumo's wrist in an attempt to separate the two.

"Y-What are you doing?!"

The woman glared at him in shock and anger.

"Jingxing ......"

Ji Chunzao's eyes widened, and his expression was full of surprise.

"Auntie, please let go of your hand."

Yan Jingxing's heart was pounding, and he said in a gentle tone as much as possible.

"I want you to teach my own children?"

Aunt Chunzao said unceremoniously.

"But now she is being caught by you very painfully, haven't you noticed?"

Yan Jingxing raised his voice.

The woman was stunned for a moment, turned her head and saw Ji Chunzao's face, she was looking in the direction of the boy in a daze, but her lips were pursed tightly, and the curvature was a little distorted, obviously enduring the pain.

The little girl was slender, and she looked weak, her soft skin was as fragile as jade, and she was held so vigorously that bruised finger marks had already appeared on her arms.

She was carried away by anger, and the strength in her hand naturally couldn't be small, so she subconsciously used all her strength.

But even after realizing this, the woman still has no intention of letting go.

And Yan Jingxing had been observing, and he noticed that Aunt Chunzao's strength in grabbing the girl's wrist had eased a little, but he still refused to let go.

He suddenly realized that it is impossible for adults to bow their heads at such times, especially when they are pointed out by children in person, even for the sake of face.

But after realizing this, Yan Jingxing was even more reluctant to let go. No one knows if Aunt Chunzao will vent her anger on the girl after letting the two go back like this, but the other party can do such a thing as "throwing away all the things that the child loves"!

In this way, the stalemate between the three lasted for several seconds, and because they were standing near the entrance of the commercial mall where people were busy, someone next to them had already noticed the dispute on this side and cast their eyes on this side.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be hesitating, for a person with a good face like her, she didn't want to stay here for a long time.

An adult, entangled with two junior high school students? That's not a good thing to say.

That's when —

Yan Jingxing's ears moved slightly.

He seemed to hear it...... Footsteps?

No, not an illusion, there was a rush of footsteps approaching, rushing towards them!

His gaze wandered around, subconsciously trying to find the approaching figure, but the events that followed were so rapid that he didn't expect them to happen:

"Bang!"

The middle-aged woman in front of her was stumbled by the violent force coming from behind, she struggled forward and walked a few steps, but still couldn't stand firmly, and fell directly to the ground.

After she fell, a figure behind her appeared in front of Yan Jingxing.

It was a girl with a backpack on her back, with long black and silky shawl hair, and a genuine lady's temperament.

She was panting as she stroked her chest, her cheeks flushed, as if she had been rushing from a distance, her eyes fixed on the woman who had fallen to the ground.

"Huh?"

"Huh......?"

The other two junior high school students present exclaimed in unison.

The person who knocked Ji Chunzao's aunt to the ground from behind just now was Xie Yuzhi ......?

After reacting, Yan Jingxing felt that his jaw was almost closed, his eyes looked at Chunzao, and she also opened her mouth wide.

The grade captain who is trusted by teachers and students with excellent character and learning, and it is really ...... to knock down the parents of his classmates with a "rocket hammer"

It's too surreal.

And it was only at this time that Aunt Chunzao got up from the ground and turned her head to look at the "culprit".

She didn't fall very badly, but she was covered with a little dust. You could tell from the look in the woman's eyes that she was shocked, even a little frightened.

When she saw that the "attacker" behind her was a junior high school girl who was the same age as her niece, the woman's expression was even more incredible.

"You...... Who are you? What are you doing? ”

Compared with the three people who were shocked, Xie Yuzhi's expression was unexpectedly calm.

After breathing slowly, she began to arrange her hair, grabbed the shoulder straps of her schoolbag with both hands, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I ran too fast just now and accidentally bumped into you."

Her attitude was very polite. But what he said was absolutely deceitful, and that head hammer was obviously a deliberate attack.

"Is there anything wrong with it? Should I go to the hospital for a check-up? ”

"I'm ......," the middle-aged woman was shocked and angry, "but you just—"

"It really doesn't matter?"

Xie Yuzhi stared at Aunt Chunzao's eyes, and interrupted her unceremoniously.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll let my driver take you there. Of course, you will be responsible for any medical expenses for the examination. ”

As her words fell, a man pushed through the crowd and walked towards her.

He is at least 1.9 meters tall, has a strong and thick physique, has scars on his face, and exudes a temperament that is not easy to mess with, which makes people look sideways.

The man walked up behind Xie Yuzhi and said in a low voice.

"Miss, you just ran too fast, beware of falling."

"Well, I know. Did you hear what I said? ”

The man nodded, turning to the middle-aged woman.

"Ma'am, do you want me to take you to the hospital? If you need to, get on the bus. ”

It seems that he is the "driver" in Xie Yuzhi's mouth.

The man's attitude when he invited him was polite and respectful, and his tone was calm, but when Aunt Chunzao saw him, it was obvious that she was afraid and vigilant, and she was reluctant to move forward, after all, she was just an ordinary housewife.

"No, no need......"

The woman looked at Ji Chunzao again. The long-haired girl noticed her gaze and couldn't help but quietly take a small step towards Yan Jingxing's back.

"Is this classmate your child?"

At this time, Xie Yuzhi spoke again.

"It's okay Auntie, I know her, I'll have someone send her home directly later."

……

Aunt Chunzao left without saying a word.

Yan Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the development of events was sudden, at least it did not get out of control, causing more serious consequences...... Uh, probably not, right?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight tug of the hem of his clothes.

Then he realized that even if his aunt left, Ji Chunzao still didn't seem to have the intention of coming out from behind him.

"Yan Jingxing?"

Xie Yuzhi's gaze turned to the boy.

"Well, it's me."

He nodded.

"Today is Sunday, you and Haruzamo are ...... here"

"We're out looking for aliens!"

Before Yan Jingxing could speak, the long-haired girl hiding behind him came out and explained loudly, and then quickly retracted.

"Aliens...... That's right. ”

Yan Jingxing noticed that the other party seemed to sigh imperceptibly.

"Well, I can guess, actually. What about you? ”

It was only after a moment that he realized that Xie Yuzhi was asking him a question. If Chunzao's pupils are like a pair of bright black jade, then the eye color of the captain's classmates is even darker under the bright sun......

To be honest, when she was staring at her, it was still quite oppressive.

"I ......"

Before Yan Jingxing could speak, Ji Chunzao came out again and snatched his words.

"He's just like me, he's here to find aliens!"

"Really?"

Xie Yuzhi remained silent, his gaze always stayed on his face.

"Uh......"

Yan Jingxing scratched the back of his head and agreed.

"Yes, I'm the same as her."

There was a "hey, hey, hey" laugh from behind him. It seems that she is satisfied with her answer.

"Yes. It seems that she has finally found the so-called 'like-minded' person, which is also good. ”

Xie Yuzhi nodded and asked again:

"Chunzao, do you want me to send you back?"

There was the force of his fingers grabbing and rubbing his clothes behind him, and he could fully imagine the hesitation and entanglement in the girl's heart; After half a ring, Ji Chunzao replied.

"No, I'll just go back by myself."

The captain didn't say anything more, waved goodbye to Yan Jingxing politely, turned around and left with her driver.

“…… Thank! Cough...... Ahem......"

The girl behind her plucked up her courage and wanted to thank her loudly, but she choked on her saliva because she was too nervous.

Xie Yuzhi's footsteps seemed to stop for a moment, but she didn't look back and quickly continued to walk forward.

"Thank you......"

As a result, what Ji Chunzao really wanted to say, only he could hear.
