Yangjin Town Station.
Xiao Ai was dressed like an ordinary village girl. Ji Xing helped her carry her big and small bags, salute and wait for the bus. Occasionally, people she knew would greet her around.
"Xiao Ai, are you going out?"
"Li Ai? What is this?"
Xiao Ai responded calmly.
As a talented female biologist with a frighteningly high IQ, Ji Xing never worried that Xiao Ai would reveal her secrets. She was not Conan. She would spit out something revealing, and sometimes she would be so angry that people wanted to beat him up. die.
There is also no need to worry about Xiao Ai's acting skills. She has the experience of avoiding being hunted by organizations. She is very good at pretending. After all, she can pretend to be a child.
The whistle of the train sounded in the distance, and a locomotive could be gradually seen at the end of the line of sight.
Ji Xing finally asked her: "It's hard to regret it once you get in the car, Xiao Ai."
Getting in the car means that Li Ai will appear in front of Xu Shengnan and will follow Li He to Jinhui City to 'work hard'. He cannot disappear inexplicably, as that will trick Ji Xing.
Everything ahead becomes unknown. If Ji Xing's identity is exposed, what awaits her may be the same life of being hunted as before.
Instead of getting in the car, Ji Xing could still pretend that Li Ai would not follow him into the city, and still have room for regret. She could also continue her life peacefully in Ke Xue's world, just pretending to be here to visit Ji Xing.
Of course Xiao Ai could understand. She just raised her eyes to look at Ji Xing and whispered, "Why weren't you afraid of death in the first place?"
Ji Xing was startled and couldn't help but smile.
On the one hand, I am very brave.
What's more important, of course, is that death in Ke Xue's world will not really lead to death. Whether it is taking A-drug or merging with an organization, this is the prerequisite.
You are worthy of discovering the key so quickly. Although it would be very painful if she died, it was just like this. Asking Xiao Ai again would be like insulting her and insulting the relationship between the two. Ji Xing shook the package and said, "Here he is, he's gone."
The train slowly pulled into the station and stopped.
The familiar figure jumped out of the car first, looked around, and quickly waved his hand: "Li He! This way, come here!"
Xu Shengnan's figure was so intimidating that the crowd waiting for the bus automatically parted ways.
Ji Xing walked over quickly with Xiao Ai: "Sister Shengnan, we're in trouble."
"It's a small thing." Xu Shengnan had already looked at Xiao Ai, looking up and down, and nodded slightly.
Xiao Ai's height is not bad, at 1.7cm, but of course she is still a head shorter in front of Xu Shengnan and looks very thin.
She summoned up the courage just right with a three-pointer: "Hello, Sister Shengnan, I am Li Ai."
Xu Shengnan suddenly smiled: "My little sister is so beautiful. Okay, you call me sister, and I will protect you from now on in Jinhui City. Even if this kid Li He dares to bully you, you should tell me."
After saying that, she looked at Ji Xing again: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Quickly salute my sister and take it up. Row 13, No. 3, where are you sitting?"
Ji Xing was startled and got into the car without saying anything. Xiao Ai's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled. Xu Shengnan gently put his arm around her shoulders and walked her into the car. He said with a smile: "You look better when you smile. This kid Li He..."
She arranged for Ji Xing to sit alone, and she sat with Xiao Ai and asked Xiao Ai some questions. Not interrogating, of course, but out of curiosity.
Hearing Xiao Ai say that she was 18 years old, Xu Shengnan glanced at Ji Xing slightly. When he heard Xiao Ai say that she was the only one left at home the year before last year, she glared at Ji Xing again, not knowing what she meant.
As the train moved slowly, the two of them chatted very familiarly. Xu Shengnan's laughter echoed from time to time, and Xiao Ai also smiled.
"Okay, I have to take a look around the car to see if there is any problem." Xu Shengnan stood up and said to Ji Xing: "You look nervous, come and sit."
"It's hard work, Sister Winner."
"Stop it."
Ji Xing went over to sit next to Xiao Ai and raised his eyebrows slightly at her: "What are you talking about?"
Xiao Ai smiled and said, "Didn't you hear? Sister Shengnan is so enthusiastic and a good person."
Ji Xing put his index finger to his mouth: "Shh - she has very good ears, she should be able to hear."
"What did you hear?!" The clang of the train couldn't cover up Xu Shengnan's loud voice. She just reached the end of the train and shouted, "My sister is praising me, are you not satisfied?!"
Everyone in the carriage looked over, and Ji Xing immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
When everyone looked away, he whispered to Xiao Ai: "Really, Sister Shengnan took care of me before, but why has my status plummeted as soon as I saw you?
Never mind, this is pretty good. Get some sleep, Xiao Ai. You slept very little last night, and I barely slept at all. I arrived at Jinhui City after a short sleep. "
Xiao Aixu squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Xing, you are a evil-hearted monster, your words are full of details.
The first half will make Xu Shengnan feel close to him.
The second half... allows Ji Xing to smoothly protect his own safety.
'last night? In the distance, Xu Shengnan, who was eavesdropping on his ears with the newly acquired spiritual power, was startled: "How little sleep?" '
She sucked the Yahuazi. It was not good to listen to it any more. She might have to pay for it if she listened to it again.
She went to the next carriage: "She said she was a younger sister. Whose sister would... It seems that she should take more care of this little girl. The little girl is indeed very well-behaved and lovable, and she matches Li He well." '
The well-behaved little girl leaned on Ji Xing's shoulder with a slight smile on her lips. As the train moved, the smile gradually softened.
'It's all about the details, how skilled he is. '
…
The train stopped and went, and it took most of the day to arrive at Jinhui City in the evening.
Xu Shengnan originally planned to give Ji Xing the key to the yard where he lived when he was protecting Ji Xing, but after overhearing the conversation, he felt it was unnecessary, so he directly said to Ji Xing: "Take sister Xiao Ai to the house yourself." Come on, I have to go to the guild first."
"Sister Shengnan, you are busy." Ji Xing responded: "Oh, by the way, I was thinking about making an invention a few days ago. Let's start preparing it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I may need Sister Shengnan's help with some things."
Xu Shengnan's eyes lit up: "Is it making money?"
"If it succeeds, we will definitely make money, and it will be much more than a solar cooker." Ji Xing said.
Xu Shengnan immediately gave Ji Xing a sign of approval and strode away, while Xiao Ai followed Ji Xing out of the station step by step.
"This place is similar to Yangjin." Xiao Ai said, "The streets and buildings."
There are bungalows and tiled houses everywhere, and buildings are rare, and most of them are three or four stories. After experiencing the modern prosperity, you must get used to it here.
"Let's eat something first." Ji Xing nodded and said, "What do you want to eat? Xiao Ai."
"Hmm... sweet and sour fish?" She had traveled to China many times with Ji Xing's family in Ke Xue World, and she was very accustomed to Chinese food, and the recipes and food here in Demon Continent were very different from that, so the two of them Went for a fish meal.
After that, Ji Xing took her to Li He's chess and card room and walked around briefly to get a feel for the customs and customs of this world before taking her home.
As always, he encountered the chess stall and Uncle Xu, the stinker the better. Before he could ask, Ji Xing waved his hand: "This is my sister Xiao Ai."
"Hello, Uncle Xu." Xiao Ai greeted.
"Hey, hey." Uncle Xu greeted, watching the two of them go away, Digu said: "This guy Li He actually has a younger sister?"
The old man opposite rolled his eyes at him: "What sister? How do the two of them look alike? This girl is so beautiful. Your daughter is gone."
"Hey, why are you always trying to match up my Shengnan with him? Shengnan doesn't have that intention."
"I'm afraid that your daughter will harm my son."
"Old Liu, wait a minute, where is my horse?!"
…
On the other side, Ji Xing Xiaoai has arrived home.
"I'm renting this yard. It's relatively average. I'll live there for a couple of days before I find a good house."
At this time, the night was completely dark. Xiao Ai used the dim light in the room to look inside and said, "It's not much different from 'my house'."
"I don't have books from the trash."
"This place is a garbage dump."
The two bickered and smiled. Ji Xing said seriously, "What's the matter, Xiao Ai? I feel like you became vaguely unhappy after chatting with Xu Shengnan in the car. What's on your mind?"
Xiao Ai looked around and Ji Xing said, "If anyone eavesdrops, I will remind you."
"...Hmm. Are you tired, Ji Xing?"
Xiao Ai looked at him with a slightly sad look on her face and said: "When getting along with other people, you have to disguise yourself all the time. You can't show your true personality. You have to consider every expression and every word.
It is obvious that he is also a human being, and he obviously has no bad intentions, but he uses his disguised appearance and disguised personality to show off his appearance to 'deceive' others.
I have not experienced this feeling, but I can imagine that it must be very hard for you.
You want to become a human, probably not only because you resist cannibal brains, but also because you want to walk openly in the sun, and you want to take off the disguise that makes you tired... I will definitely help you, don't worry! "
Ji Xing and Xiao Ai looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled.
"Did I call you here to slap you?"
Xiao Ai also shook his head and deliberately put on a wicked smile: "I thought I could see you cry."
Ji Xing said: "It's impossible. Evil demons don't have tears. Well, it's actually not as serious as you said. It's quite safe here and you usually won't encounter any danger. I just pretend to be a little bit used to save some trouble. .
You don’t have to be afraid. On the one hand, I’m here to protect you. On the other hand, there are many people in this world who live in their seventies or eighties without any problems. There aren’t that many monsters and there aren’t that many surprises. "
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly changed, he turned his head to look at the door of his house, and wordlessly slowly put his right hand on his face.
Xiao Ai was startled and followed his gaze.
The room was quiet for a minute.
Da da da--
The sound of knocking on the courtyard door suddenly came.
Xiao Ai suddenly realized, covered her mouth and laughed softly, looking at Ji Xing and asking: Is this safety?
Ji Xing ran his hand all over his face in pain and glared at Xiao Ai: Are you still smiling? Not afraid?
Xiao Ai raised his head: You can't handle it? Are you going to put me in danger as soon as you bring me into your home?
Ji Xing sighed.
The two communicated silently, and the courtyard door was knocked again: "Li He! Aren't you here?"
Ji Xing gave Xiao Ai a look, then turned around and opened the door and went out: "Come, come! Is it President Gong? It's so late, why did you come to my place?"
