I loaded the dream game

"Irena?"

A strange voice came from the other end of the alley, causing everyone present to pause for a moment.

The girl was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of the sound.

The sunlight fell through the gaps in the alley, as if piercing the darkness of the world in front of us. In the sunlight that illuminated the alley, there stood a vague figure.

It was a black-haired boy.

It was also a ray of light that illuminated the darkness before her eyes...

.......

Chapter 735: The Girl Wants to Repay

Looking at the gray-haired girl who was staring at him blankly not far away, Xia Zhi hesitated a little.

I feel like... the girl in front of me is several sizes smaller than the Irena I remember.

...Irena as a child?

Xia Zhi shook his head.

Anyway, she looks like she's in trouble now, and it's not easy to talk with so many people around her, so let's leave here first.

Xia Zhi thought about it, walked up and held the girl's hand

"Come with me." He said, looking into the girl's glassy eyes.

"..."

Feeling the warmth on her hand, the girl felt inexplicably at ease.

Hearing the gentle words coming from my ear, I looked up at the boy in front of me. His black hair reflected his dark eyes, which clearly reflected my figure.

She nodded subconsciously.

But soon, she reacted and asked hesitantly:

"Well, you are..."

Before the girl could finish her words, the evil spirit beside her interrupted

"What is it, little brother, do you know this little sister?"

"Let's just say we know each other." Xia Zhi nodded uncertainly.

"That's easy. She owes us a lot of money. You should pay it back."

Now I owe them 377 yuan.

"She violated the country's laws. As her guardian, you should also take responsibility, right?"

The soldier also considered the girl as her family.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and looked at the gray-haired girl he was pulling... My goodness, you have done so many things.

Facing his gaze, the girl panicked for some reason and subconsciously wanted to explain: "Um, I'm not..."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Xia Zhi interrupted.

Eh?

Everyone present was stunned.

"I'm just her creditor. She owes me a lot of money. Now that she can't pay it back, I plan to sell her." Xia Zhi said as he ignored the crowd surrounding them and pulled the girl outside.

It’s over. It’s not over yet and we seem to have encountered bad guys again.

The girl thought to herself.

But somehow, unlike before, perhaps because the force holding her hand was too gentle, she didn't feel the slightest bit of uneasiness in her heart.

"Are you kidding me, she's our merchandise!"

The evil men wanted to catch up with him while saying this, but they were frightened by the young man's words, "If you dare to chase me again, I will sell you too."

Hey, officers and soldiers, someone is openly talking about human trafficking in front of you, and you don't do anything about it?

They turned their gazes to the soldiers standing beside them.

The soldier also reacted and shouted "Stop" and tried to catch up, but was also blocked by the boy's words "You too".

……Amazing.

The girl thought.

The helpless and hopeless situation that just now seemed to her, as well as the ferocious and scary adults, were all solved in an instant.

The darkness and malice that had surrounded her like a tide were firmly blocked behind this figure.

Looking at the back of the young man in front of her, an indescribable feeling spread in her heart.

This, she thought, must be peace of mind.

The girl pursed her lips and did not resist, allowing the black-haired boy she had just met to pull her hand and walk out of the alley.

"..."

...By the way, he even dares to threaten soldiers. Isn’t this guy a bit too arrogant?

It was not until they saw the two men's backs disappear at the end of the alley that they reacted.

Strange, why should they be afraid?

But it was too late to catch up now. The two had already disappeared on the busy street...

……

In the coffee shop on the street, Xia Zhi handed a cup of coffee to the girl.

Looking at the steaming coffee in front of her, the girl hesitated for a moment, but did not touch it. Instead, she raised her head and looked at him, saying timidly:

"Well, please don't sell me (bidc)."

"I won't sell you. You're not worth much." Xia Zhi replied.

The girl felt relieved to get his promise.

Sure enough, he is not a bad guy.

The girl thought to herself, then asked curiously, "Were you lying to them just now?"

"Not really, but at least half of it is true." Xia Zhi picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Half of it is true...

The girl was slightly stunned.

According to what he just said, if the part he sold was false, then it must be the second half, right...?

On the other side, looking at the cute girl who was lost in thought, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Not Irena.

Although she looks very similar to Irena, it is not her.

If you ask him how he figured it out.

Xia Zhi set his eyes on the girl's chest.

Although due to her young age, there are only slight ups and downs, and it seems not large in scale, but it is almost the same as Irena's current situation, not to mention "her a few years ago".

Of course, this is only an auxiliary factor. The more important reason is that Irena is his girlfriend, so he is naturally very familiar with her and can recognize her at a glance.

As for why he didn't recognize it at first sight...it was just an accident.

While making excuses for himself in his mind, Xia Zhi took another sip of coffee.

So, the question is... where is Irena now?

"that……"

The girl's voice in front of him interrupted his thoughts.

"Are you looking for someone?" the girl hesitated for a moment and asked curiously.

"Yes, a girl who looks as cute as you." Xia Zhi nodded in response.

As cute as me...?

The girl thought doubtfully, then shook her head:

"Is her name Irena?"

She remembered the name the boy had mentioned before.

"Do you know him?" Xia Zhi asked.

"I don't know him..." The girl's voice trailed off.

Although there was no change in the boy's eyes, she still felt uneasy and uncomfortable because she couldn't help him.

This reminded her of when she was in the orphanage, she was not liked by the adults who came, and she failed to be a good child. In the end, no one took her away. That small and depressing world

Now, finally someone has brought her out of the darkness and helplessness.

She didn't want to be abandoned by the teenager...at least not now.

Something had to be done.

The girl took a deep breath, looked at Xia Zhi and said seriously:

"Let me help you find it!"

As a reward, he saved himself...

.......

Chapter 736: It’s not the past, but the present

In the forest at night, the burning bonfire makes a crackling sound, the firelight slightly illuminates the surrounding scenery, and the slight chirping of insects can be heard among the woods, adding a touch of color to the quiet night.

Xia Zhi sat by the campfire, stirring the fire with a wooden stick. The rising flames roasted the skewers of meat stuck next to them, and the dripping fat fell into the fire, making a crackling sound.

They came to the forest in the afternoon.

Since the girl was already wanted in that city, they naturally couldn't stay there any longer, so they left temporarily.

This made the girl a little confused... Wasn't he looking for someone? Why did he leave without even looking for her?

"How does it taste?"

Xia Zhi handed a skewer of barbecue to the girl.

She whispered "thank you", reached out to take it, took a small bite, and a bitter expression appeared on her delicate face.

"what happened?"

"It's not ripe yet..."

The girl spat out the barbecue in her mouth with two "Puh" sounds, looked at him with tears in her eyes and said... it seemed that it was indeed very unpalatable.

It looks like the time has not come yet.

Xia Zhi nodded and brushed two more layers of oil on the barbecue.

The girl who saw this scene couldn't help but doubt... Is this person really possible?

In fact, Xia Zhi also knows that his cooking is not very delicious, but barbecue is just like hot pot. As long as it is cooked and sprinkled with seasoning, the taste will generally not be too bad, right?

Just bake it until cooked.

As for where the barbecue came from...

There were so many cute rabbits in the woods. Just catching one or two that were willing to be eaten would be enough to fill their stomachs.

Looking at the gray-haired girl sitting opposite the campfire, Xia Zhi thought this in his heart.
