"Hmm... Really? Do you really believe that the cameras in the classroom are on? Are you so naive? Hehe."

The girl smiled, but Xia Xiu remained silent.

What the other party said was not wrong. The cameras in the classroom would only be turned on symbolically during exams, and would not be turned on at all the rest of the time to save electricity. Xia Xiu didn't know about other schools, but his high school was like that.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault for cancelling your appointment. Please forgive me this time, my noble and generous classmate Jiang Yuyan. I will definitely do my best for you next time. I am willing to do my best to show my filial piety."

Xia Xiu chose to follow his heart, and judging the situation and making decisions has always been a good quality of his.

"If you dare to shirk your duty next time, I will chop you off with a knife!"

"No, no! Whoever wants to be a pigeon is so ugly, but I, Xia, will never be one."

Xia Xiu shook his head, almost turning himself into a rattle.

"If you give the snacks I gave you to other people, I'll kill you too!"

"No, no! The snacks are so delicious, how could I, Xia, bear to give them to others?"

Xia Xiu's attitude became extremely docile. He at least made sure the other party pulled up his clothes. If one or two classmates passed by, his reputation would be ruined!

Xia Xiu slowly apologized to the other party for half an hour, clearing out all the words of apology from his head, and finally he successfully persuaded the other party to put on his clothes.

He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party came here specifically to settle accounts with him. Although the other party kept smiling from beginning to end, any discerning person could see that he seemed very angry.

After fooling around for so long, Xia Xiu finally sent the young lady away and was able to pack his schoolbag.

Xia Xiu swore that he would never go back to the classroom to get his schoolbag even if he was beaten to death.

As for the series of assurances just made to the girl.

It's so funny. What does what Xia Xiu promised have to do with him?

Xia Xiu frowned. He just wanted to get rid of this sticky person as soon as possible.

But it is obvious that this sticky candy is not easy to get rid of.

Chapter 33 Abandoned unfinished building

Xia Xiu looked at the remaining time and found that it was obviously too late to go back.

He sighed.

Life is not easy, cats are having fun.

So Xia Xiu decided to start playing badly and go out to wander around.

Going back half an hour later or going back two hours later are the same, so Xia Xiu chose the latter.

Just in case, Xia Xiu shook the things in his backpack and decided to go to the back door of the campus to check things out. He was afraid that silly girl Fan Yanke might have had some accident, so he decided to go and take a look since he had nothing to do anyway.

After walking around most of the campus, Xia Xiu finally arrived at the so-called back door of the school.

The so-called back door was actually only called that by Xia Xiu, because this place was not built by the school at all, but was the result of the joint efforts of previous classmates. Xia Xiu could clearly see the obvious marks of crowbar on the iron railings. It had to be said that this was the result of the hard work of the seniors over the years.

Xia Xiu discovered this place by chance. After all, sometimes he really didn't want to go to class and chose to wander around the campus. Then he found this place and sneaked out a few times.

He also tentatively asked the male classmates around him, and they said they didn't know this place. It seemed that this place was sufficiently unpopulated that Xia Xiu dared to tell Fan Yanke about this place. Long Heyi and his group probably didn't know about it.

If that group of people also knew about this, Xia Xiu could only say that he was just unlucky and that God didn't want him to have an easy time.

Xia Xiu stepped over clumps of weeds and passed directly through the hole in the iron railing, carrying the camera hanging high on the street lamp.

It was now time to go home from school. Xia Xiu was not afraid of cameras at all. Regardless of whether the cameras were turned on or not, Xia Xiu was very confident in the elderly men in their seventies and eighties in the security room.

Although the old men are a bit old, they are very friendly to students, treating them like their grandchildren. They let anyone in to order takeout milk tea and the like. As for students who want to go out, they can just forge a note and the old men will not even look at it. They will just let them in and greet them with a smile.

The back door of the school leads to a green belt, which is the side of the school. There are several mountains inside the school, and this place is connected to the mountains. Turning left is a small hill, and turning right is an abandoned unfinished building area.

If she wants to go back to the street, she has to pass through this unfinished building area, but this area is sparsely populated. To be honest, it is quite dangerous for a girl to walk through this place. However, there are not many users in this area, and there are no gangsters hanging around. Even the bad boys and girls who escaped from school would not stay in this place with nothing but a lot of mosquitoes at this time after school, so Fan Yanke should not have any problem.

Even if they met someone, he would give her the self-defense equipment he carried with him. Xia Xiu could only pray that the other party would not be so stupid as to not be able to use these things. If that was the case, Xia Xiu could only cry without tears.

However, Xia Xiu still chose to walk into one of the unfinished buildings that was relatively well preserved. The others had either collapsed or had no roofs, leaving a huge expanse of space. If Fan Yanke had really encountered any danger, the crime scene must have been in the unfinished building that was relatively well preserved.

Xia Xiu walked in. He had never been to a place like this before, and it felt like a childhood adventure.

However, Xia Xiu listened carefully and found nothing strange, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xia Xiu changed his mind and wondered why not ask Fan Yanke for her contact information?

Shit! He seemed to have forgotten to ask for the other party's contact information. In this case, wouldn't it be better to just call him directly? It would be so troublesome.

Xia Xiu slapped his head in annoyance, feeling that he had made a mistake and his IQ had dropped a lot.

Isn’t it said that the IQ of boys and girls at this age is at its peak?

Xia Xiu shook his head and didn't think about this question. Instead, he continued to walk up, inspecting each floor, and found that many rooms were scattered with gravel and garbage, and the strange smell made people unable to step down.

There was only one room that was relatively good, and it looked like it was where the workers used to rest. At least there was less rubbish and debris, and it looked tidier, and the strange smell had also gone away a lot.

If Fan Yanke was really blocked by Long Heyi and her gang, the only place they could find to commit violence was here. After all, this place was hidden enough and not so dirty that they couldn't step in.

Since there is no one in this place, Fan Yanke should be safe today.

Xia Xiu thought about it, shook his schoolbag, took out something from it, and placed it casually in a corner as if throwing away garbage, and finally left proudly.

The moment he walked out of the unfinished building, Xia Xiu looked at the sky. It had become gloomy. It seemed that it had taken a lot of time.

He opened his phone and checked, and even though he came back late, his sister still hadn't sent him any messages asking about him.

It's really cold and indifferent. This makes me, an extremely competent Onii-chan, feel chilled...

After checking the time, Xia Xiu planned to stroll around the supermarket, replenish the ingredients in the refrigerator, and also prepare some personal food and drinks.

The kind that I hide secretly so that my sister won’t find it.

At least for the past two days, Xia Xiu didn't dare eat anything his sister gave him, especially drinks.

Back on the street, Xia Xiu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He had returned to society. After all, humans are social animals.

At this time, there were not many students wandering around the streets. Most of the people on the streets were office workers who were in a hurry to go home and old grandmas and grandpas who were out for a walk. The flow of people seemed to be quite large.

Xia Xiu immediately saw a familiar person, the little beggar he met yesterday when he was walking home with Su Yuhan.

He was kneeling on the ground like a duck, with a slightly tattered bowl in front of him and a sign that said something like "the family has no money for his education" or "his parents are seriously ill". The little beggar lowered his head, said nothing, and occasionally stared at passers-by with his big, beautiful eyes.

Occasionally, a few kind-hearted people would give some money because of this pair of clear eyes, and then the other party would bend down to express their gratitude.

He seems to be mute.

Xia Xiu originally wanted to leave here subconsciously and didn't want to have any connection with the other party. After all, his family was not very wealthy.

But the other party seemed to have sensed something, and his pair of bright blue eyes stared at Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu took a deep breath, he knew he couldn't escape.

Chapter 34: The Calm Before the Storm

You can't always focus on one sheep when you want to fleece it, otherwise Mr. Xia will be fleeced bald.

Xia Xiu walked over resignedly and greeted the little beggar in a friendly manner. He did not hide away because he was disgusted by the smell on the other person, but squatted down directly close to him.

He didn't mind the gazes of passers-by around him and started chatting with them as if he was very familiar with them.

"Hello, your family didn't beat you up when you went home yesterday, did they?"

Xia Xiu had basically figured out that the other party was forced by his family to beg for food, and he looked really pitiful and miserable.

The other person shook his head, indicating that he was not beaten seriously, obviously thanks to the tall boy in front of him.

The little beggar took out a candy from her arms and handed it to Xia Xiu carefully. She cupped her hands and motioned for Xia Xiu to eat it, because it was very sweet and was one of the few candies she had left.

Seeing the candy handed over by the other party and the sincere smile on his face, even a man as strong-willed as Tie Xia softened his heart a little. He peeled off the candy coating, put it in his mouth, and the sweetness bloomed from the tip of his tongue.

Mm, it’s really sweet.

"Thank you for the candy."

Xia Xiu reached out his hand and rubbed the other person's messy hair naturally, without showing any disgust on his face.

Since the other party was so kind and generous, and gave him all his few treasured candies, then he, Xia, must express his gratitude in every way.

After taking a look at the money in the other party's bowl, it seemed that it was enough and he didn't need to spend any money. Besides, Xia Xiu didn't want to give cash directly because the cash would indirectly go into the big hands behind the other party and would not be of any help to the little beggar.

So Xia Xiu decided to buy some food and drinks for the other party. He took a look at the milk tea shop across the street and came up with an idea.

The other party probably hasn't had milk tea yet.

"Wait for me, brother. I'll be back soon."

After instructing the other party to wait there obediently, he went to a sweet ice city and bought a cup of orange juice. Of course, Xia Xiu didn't come here to buy milk tea because he was stingy. After all, there were several milk tea shops nearby, and there were so many milk teas that tasted good and were expensive.

But it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Xia Xiu did not want to let the other party come into contact with milk tea which was so expensive and luxurious for him at the beginning.

Xia Xiu could help him this time, but he couldn't help the other party countless times.

The prices in a certain sweet ice city are relatively affordable, even the other party can afford it.

Although the other party cannot hide a large amount of money obtained from begging, it is still okay to hide a few coins occasionally so that the other party can afford to spend it.

I believe the other party will not refuse a cup of delicious milk tea that is refreshing and heat-relief for just a few dollars.

At the same time, Xia Xiu entered a small store and bought a bunch of common and easy-to-store snacks, and looked at the colorful candies on the counter.

Can't buy those expensive things, but some sweet candies are always okay.

After all, the other person seems to like eating candy very much, and the sweet taste can always make people feel happy.

So Xia Xiu bought several large bags of various candies and walked out of the supermarket.

"I'm back, there's no need to wait too long."

Xia Xiu squatted next to the other person again and stuffed a large bag of snacks he had bought into the other person, without considering whether all the snacks would be confiscated when the other person got home.

But he knew that the other party must have a way. For someone of this age, it was unreasonable not to have a secret base of his own.

The other person sipped the milk tea in her hand. The cool and sweet taste made her smile with some happiness.

Obviously the other party had never drunk it.

"Let me tell you, this milk tea can be bought at the Sweet Ice City. It only costs a few dollars to buy a cup. If it's really hot in the summer, you can buy a cup to try it. Don't feel shy or inferior. The ones who consume here are God's."

She nodded.

Xia Xiu touched the other person's head. He quite liked this well-behaved and sensible boy.

But he couldn't do anything particularly useful. He could only do what he could in some aspects.

"Are you literate?"

Xia Xiu suddenly asked this question, and the latter nodded.

Xia Xiu thought about it and took out the sticky note he had just bought in the supermarket. It was the kind with strips of paper connected by small metal rings. It looked like it should be very sturdy and durable.

Since the other party can't speak, it should be difficult for him to even shop. Moreover, given his status, he would feel very inferior and would not take the initiative to buy things like milk tea.

So Xia Xiu simply wrote down various common phrases on the note. He put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about it, basically thinking of all the scenarios he could imagine, and then wrote them all down.

It took Xia Xiu half an hour to write it.

"Remember this," Xia Xiu handed the note to the other party. "If you want to communicate with others in the future, take this. There are some common phrases in it that should be able to help you. If there is anything missing, I will give it to you when the time comes."

The other party was very happy holding the note in his hand and excitedly gave Xia Xiu a hug. Xia Xiu did not refuse and touched the other party's head.

Then she put her knowledge into practice and turned to the "Thank You" page to show Xia Xiu.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it."

Xia Xiu lifted the other person up from the ground.

"Remember to take care of yourself in the future. Don't always sit on the ground. It's bad for your knees. Let's go sit there for a while."

Xia Xiu and she came to the place where they had taken shelter from the rain yesterday, and had a quiet and happy meal together.

We bought a set meal like you would find in a small restaurant, but he still enjoyed the meal very much.

The clouds in the sky were becoming increasingly gloomy. Xia Xiu squinted his eyes, looking at the people walking up and down the street. The neon lights of the city gradually began to shine, and the shouting and hawking of vendors on the stalls came one after another. He was like an observer, watching the scenes in the city, while the little beggar was eating quietly on the side.

Xia Xiu suddenly felt that this kind of life might be quite nice.
