"Please don't let me go (Please don't let me go)
“I just wanna stay…(I just want to stay for you)”
Avril closed her eyes and hummed softly along with the female voice, her body swayed slightly, and suddenly she felt that the sound in her right ear was empty.
She was startled for a moment, then opened her eyes and saw it was Baizhu, and immediately smiled: "You're back!"
"Well, are you tired of waiting?"
Bai Zhu took off Avril's headphones and handed her the dinner he got back, "The milk should still be hot. Let's put some on it first, and then we'll buy something else."
"Yeah." Avril's gaze was slightly tilted towards Bai Shu's cuffs, and she immediately turned back when he touched it. She looked at Bai Shu again, her black and white eyes seemed to be a little brighter.
"Is the song good?"
Bai Zhu put away his cell phone and carried Avril on his back again.
"It sounds great," Avril smiled at her, "I can sing the chorus."
"Really? That's good."
"Is the milk bread from that family down the street?"
"yes."
"You're sweating. Are you running very fast?"
"fine."
"Will it be tiring to carry me on your back?"
"You won't be tired, you're very light."
"You're going to teach that bald guy a lesson, right?"
"..."
Bai Zhu looked slightly moved but did not answer.
Seeing that she didn't succeed, Avril puffed up her cheeks and felt a little discouraged, and leaned into Baizhu's ear:
"You just helped me take off my headphones. You were so close, and I saw a very light red color under your folded cuffs, and there was a little smell of blood on your body.
"And I'm a dancer. The basic course is to learn to observe others and take on other people's emotions, so that I can perform different dance connotations. I used to be the best at observing people's emotions in the orphanage, and I am still the same now. When you left, you were so angry, like Bo Bo It's like fire under the ice, I can see it, but it's gone when I come back."
There was a little bit of pride in her words, even the ending sound was upturned.
Bai Shu knew he couldn't hide it any more, so he turned his head and looked at Avril, raising his eyebrows slightly:
"You took off your headphones."
She took into account Avril's characteristics as a dancer, so she processed the traces to the greatest extent. It is difficult to find these details without paying very careful attention.
"How did you know! The passers-by looked strange, so I took off my headphones and heard gunshots."
Avril paused, lowered her head to Baizhu, and muttered:
"But, it's not that I don't understand everything. I will refuse - what if you get hurt if you go like this? Just go back and tell Sister Ning."
"I'll help you finish cooking, and then you can practice dancing to be clean."
His neck was a little itchy from the breath of the person on his back. Baizhu tilted his head slightly and said in a calm tone, "If you tell the adults about this, the situation may get out of hand. What if Sister Ning and others don't let you go early and come home late to practice dancing?"
Avril was allowed to practice dancing alone and go to school because everyone in the red light district knew that she was Ning Zhi's adopted child, and no one would get into trouble. Now that something had happened, Ning Zhi would definitely reconsider.
Not allowed to dance?
Avril was suddenly alert, nodded repeatedly and sighed: "You are still smart, why are you so smart? Smart and powerful!"
"Then as a reward for being smart and powerful, you have to keep this matter a secret."
"Of course I know," Avril pursed her lips and smiled, showing a small tiger tooth. She always believed that good friends should have little secrets in common, not to mention that Atractylodes is for herself, "This is a secret between us, I will not tell Anyone’s.”
"Um."
Bai Zhu nodded calmly on the surface, and pondered deeply as he looked at the road:
"People are shot every day in the red light district. Ding Zihui died in the West Street District and I disguised it as a robbery. He would not be associated with a child. Just bringing a dance teacher doesn't mean much. Ning Zhi's side is not a problem...but these are all Based on the fact that I was 'a harmless child'.
"Although I wanted to turn over the story quietly, I couldn't bear it. This kid found out on his own. If I leaked the secret, I had to confess. If I lied... no, I can't hide it.
"The revolver given by Fatty Liu is now out of bullets. I am using Ding Zihui's M92. I hid it outside before entering the third base... Phew, even if Ning Zhi doesn't know about Ding Zihui's gun, he can still realize it. After realizing that I was wrong, I guessed from the unknown origin of the gun that I was the one who killed Ding Zihui. After all, this is not a court trial and does not require a strict logical chain.
"This layer of childish skin is my protective umbrella on the surface, and it is also the biggest reason why Fatty Liu and others accepted me so quickly. After all, I am just a 'poor and well-behaved child', but if the secret is revealed, even if I am the lifesaver of these hunters There is no guarantee that my benefactor will be ostracized and have an impact on what I want to do. Even if he trusts and accepts me, it will bring danger to this group of people...it will do more harm than good.
"If I want to eliminate the root cause, no... I am thinking of something ridiculous. If I kill innocent people at will to change the outcome, it is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse."
Bai Shu closed his eyes, cleared his cold thoughts, and controlled his emotions without feeling strange.
After being quiet for a while, Avril suddenly stretched out her hand on her back and tentatively touched her hearing aid:
"Xiao Shu, can't you hear in your right ear?"
Just as Bai Zhu was about to open his mouth, his mind changed and he just said "hmm".
Avril puffed up her face when she heard this, and Maomao sneaked closer and carefully took off her hearing aid.
What is this for? Curious? Bai Zhu thought calmly and did not stop him.
Avril waited for a few seconds, and when Bai Shu didn't respond, she boldly stepped forward, put it close to her ear, and whispered in a very small voice, like the wind blowing gently:
"You are my little guardian angel."
You are my little guardian angel.
Baizhu was slightly startled. Before she could react, she felt warmth on her neck. Before she could say anything, Avril herself was so shy that she buried her head and the tips of her ears turned red.
"The meaning is understandable," Bai Zhu couldn't help but chuckle, his blue eyes turning into a gentle and peaceful ocean, "But the pronunciation is wrong."
"Ah! You can hear me!"
Avril realized later and looked at Bai Shu accusingly, "You are so cunning, you lied to me! Don't laugh... If you laugh again, I will ignore you today."
"I know," Baizhu continued to walk steadily. Avril's movements could not affect her pace. He smiled slightly and then listened, "Put on the hearing aid for me."
"Can't you hear me?"
"Hearing impaired, you can hear more clearly if you put it on."
After entering the house, Bai Zhu put Avril down, took iodine solution and applied it on her ankles with a cotton swab.
"It's so deserted at home." Avril looked around.
"Well, Sister Yun and the others are out."
"I know they have gone to the prevention and control station to take on a new mission. They will probably leave in two days."
Going out of town at this time?
The aliens are building up their temper, and if they go out now, they are seeking death!
Baizhu put down the iodine solution and asked casually: "How do you know?"
"According to custom, if a hunter fails to gain anything from his last mission, he will set off again in two days."
"So that's it."
Due to the livelihood of residents and controllable pollution in the second city, it is more convenient to enter and exit the city. However, the current situation is special and it is difficult to return in time for missions outside the city... I don’t know how the discussions at the third base are going.
"I'm going out to buy dinner," Bai Zhu took out a storybook from Avril's schoolbag, "Can you stay home first?"
"OK."
"I might come back later and have to pick up something, so don't worry."
After Baizhu told him, he went out and made sure no one was following or paying attention. After dialing the number, he put the communication bracelet in his pocket and replaced the hearing aid with the earphones attached to the bracelet.
"How are discussions with the Council going?"
The phone was connected and Bai Zhu got straight to the point.
Bai Lingyu was silent for a while, then seemed to sigh: "It's not optimistic."
