Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

This girl called Kamisato Hinata is really too feminine! Coupled with Chikage who wants to help with everything, Li Mengyu has really had nothing to do except cooking recently.

And Kamisato Hinata would always ask him questions about cooking when he was cooking... Yabai always felt that it would not be long before he would lose even the purpose of cooking and become a complete useless person.

This is absolutely not possible!

"Big brother, can we just store the clothes that have been dried in the sun there?"

"……Correct."

But it feels so good, I don’t want to move at all.

It can only be said that the useless person training plan is going on very smoothly. The feeling on the rocking chair is also very comfortable. Li Mengyu can hardly open her eyes.

"Take a nap..."

"! We can't just sleep like this today!"

"pain!"

Hinata Kamisato, with one hand on his waist, knocked the clothesline on Li Mengyu's head with an unhappy look on his face.

Before she could remind him, Li Mengyu suddenly reacted and looked at the calendar.

"Oh! Today is..."

Before Li Mengyu could blurt out the whole thing, Kamisato Hinata quickly put the clothesline against Li Mengyu's chin and successfully stopped this loudmouth from spilling the beans.

It was not until Li Mengyu put her finger on her lips that Kamisato Hinata slowly retracted the clothesline.

"What's today?"

Jun Qianjing heard Li Mengyu's voice and looked at them with some confusion.

"Nothing! Nothing! Um~ I think the refrigerator at home seems to be almost empty. Can we go buy some things together later?"

"Almost empty?"

Jun Qianjing's tone sounded a little doubtful. She clearly remembered that there were still a lot of things in the refrigerator.

She always felt that Li Mengyu was a little strange.

"Brother Meng...you look a little weird..."

"I...I...I'm not surprised! Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go now, while the sun is still up. Let's buy the things before it gets dark!"

"Eh - it's definitely weird, there's definitely something weird going on!"

Jun Qianjing struggled as Li Mengyu pushed his shoulders forcefully, but, hmm, he was still far inferior to Li Mengyu in strength and could only be pushed out of the house by him.

However, the initial resistance did not last long, because Jun Qianjing discovered that others were not going with her.

"! Time to be alone with Brother Meng!"

Really, I just said it directly.

Li Mengyu didn’t think there was anything wrong, as she had a good relationship with the child.

Before leaving the house, he gave Kamisato Hinata a look, and the other party nodded in understanding.

After Li Mengyu and the others walked away, she and Nogi Wakaba were about to set off.

"Ah! Brother Meng, my cloak!"

Although life has indeed improved a lot, Gun Qianjing is still used to wearing a cloak when going out.

Although she could hold her head high in front of those people at school, she was still afraid when facing adults with malicious intentions.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Just treat it as a practice... I remember you learned the magic of the Water Emblem to conceal your body shape, didn't you?"

"Can……"

Jun Qianjing was a little unconfident, but she realized that she was in front of Li Mengyu, and only in front of him...she couldn't let him down.

"Ok."

The emblem on the back of Jun Qianjing's hand glowed and gradually disappeared beside Li Mengyu.

The water vapor refracts the light beam, almost achieving an invisible effect.

However, because it is used so rarely, ripples will occasionally appear in the space.

If you don't pay special attention, you will probably just think it's your eyes playing tricks on you.

Li Mengyu felt a small hand stuffed into her palm, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Very good, my Chikage is indeed the best."

"..."

There was no response from Jun Qianjing, only his hot palms revealed his restless psychological activities at the moment.

Winter nights really come early. Although they said they wanted to go home before dark, it was still dark by the time they finished buying some "daily necessities" that Jun Qianjing didn't understand at all.

Li Mengyu felt the little hand that was being held was tightened a little.

"Hoho, afraid of the dark?"

"...No."

Unfortunately, Jun Qianjing's expression was completely concealed at the moment, and his cute stubborn look could not be seen.

"It's okay to be afraid of the dark. I was afraid of the dark when I was a child. I always thought there would be scary monsters in the shadows that would jump out and take the children away."

It was a bit strange, why did his clenched hands loosen a little after he finished speaking?

"...Brother Meng is obviously scarier than the monster."

“?! Eh!!!”

Chapter 49: Jun Qianjing's Birthday (Part 2)

"Happy birthday, big sister!"

Looking at the little boy in front of me who bowed 90 degrees and respectfully handed over a palm-sized cake, his name seemed to be Kenta?

Li Mengyu wanted to kill him. She had managed to keep it secret until now, and when she was almost home, this guy jumped out.

Forget it, forget it. Li Mengyu saw that his trouser legs were covered with mud and knew that he probably saw that all the lights in the house were turned off in preparation for a "surprise" and thought that no one was at home, so he waited on the avenue for a long time.

In this case...there is nothing we can do about it.

There was also a large black bag at Kenta's feet.

"Oh, this is a gift from everyone in school. I'm the only one who knows where the big sister lives now, so they asked me to deliver it..."

Jun Qianjing looked a little dazed. She thought of the abnormal behavior of Li Mengyu and Kamisato Hinata today, and his helpless look when he looked at Li Mengyu.

"Birthday...me?"

Yes... today is her birthday, but she just forgot it.

Even the word "birthday" had been automatically ignored in her mind before.

In the past, she had thought that this day would be different, but... in fact, there was no difference. The alcoholic father, the mother who was nowhere to be found... everyone had forgotten them, only she still remembered them. So was there any need to remember this day?

But it seems that things are different now.

"This is my gift."

Kenta took out a small gift box from the big bag and handed it to Jun Qianjing.

When the gift box was opened, a wobbly spring man suddenly jumped out.

He clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head.

Kenta's expression was full of shock. He himself didn't seem to expect this to happen. He thought she was angry and hurriedly explained.

"No, I asked the boss to pick it... Ahhh that bastard boss! I... I'm leaving first! I'm so sorry! Big sister."

When you see this, you have to run.

"Stop it!"

Jun Qianjing's cold voice made Kenta's body stop as if by reflex.

He turned his head slowly with a sad face, and what he saw was not the witch with angry hair standing on end, but a woman who had cast away the coldness on her face and was wearing a faint smile, as if to melt all the snow in winter.

"Help me, thank you all."

His heart was beating a little faster, and Kenta quickly turned his head away.

"It would be best if the big sister isn't angry... I'll tell everyone!"

Running faster than before.

Li Mengyu was only halfway through her gesture to stop him.

"At least have a piece of cake..."

As if he had used up all his potential, the guy ran away without a trace.

"Well~ Now that you know everything, there's no point in keeping you surprised, right?"

Li Mengyu looked at Jun Qianjing and scratched her hair helplessly.

The two people in the room probably didn't know that their original sneaky operation had failed, and they were still preparing fireworks for entering the room.

He was just about to speak up to stop Kamisato Hinata and the others inside.

Jun Qianjing held his hand, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

Li Mengyu understood this.

Then let this "surprise" continue.

Li Mengyu took the gift brought by Kenta, held Jun Qianjing's hand and opened the door of her house with the key as usual.

Followed by a "bang" of fireworks.

"Happy birthday, Chikage!"

The scattered ribbons fell on Jun Qianjing's body. Because Li Mengyu was taller than these little guys, most of the ribbons were hung on him.

"Thanks……"

Moments filled Jun Qianjing's eyes, and the emotions that he had suppressed outside the door finally got out of control.

She slowly squatted down and sobbed.

Li Mengyu stood beside them, signaling with her eyes to the other two little ones not to move and to wait quietly.

……

"That brat! I'm going to kill him!"

Kamisato Hinata's cheeks turned a little red. This was the look on her face after she realized that the perfect surprise had been ruined.

Li Mengyu glanced at the soda bottle beside her. How could someone get drunk just by drinking soda?!

"Hmm...Tian Zhu."

Nogi Wakaba, you are usually very sensible, why are you joining in the fun now?

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, wait for Qian Jing to blow out the candles first!"

Jun Qianjing's eyes were red, with a faint smile on her lips at this moment. Her gaze kept falling on Nogi Wakaba who was touching the hilt of the bamboo sword and nodding from time to time, Kamisato Hinata who was holding a glass of Coke and was a little overly active, and Li Mengyu who could be seen at a glance to have an exploding headache.

"puff."

Her eyes fell on the cake in front of her. Someone had ordered it long ago and specifically asked the cake maker to give him space to draw four little men on it with chocolate sauce... Although, because the person's drawing skills were really poor, in the end it was just four stick figures.

But... I don’t know why, even though they are four almost identical stick figures, Jun Qianjing can tell who each one represents.

My eyes were drawn to the flickering sparks of the candles on the cake.

I just want to... I just want to keep it like this.

She gently blew out the candle above.

"You made a wish? What did you wish for?"

"I……"
