I have a lot of green plums

"Got it, idiot."

"......" No matter how stupid Hanasaka Taro was, he knew at this moment that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble.

"How dare you play tricks on me?"

"Yes." Si Yueyuzhi nodded gently: "It seems that you are not so stupid."

"You..." Hanasaka Taro's face turned red. The short exchange of two or three sentences had already caused his body temperature to rise continuously.

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

Si Yue Yuzhi was too lazy to argue with an immature child. Seeing that the other party's face was flushed and he was speechless, he decided to take the five girls home.

"Let's go home," he turned and said to the five girls.

It's not that he didn't want to vent their anger, but he felt that in the end, the five girls would definitely be the ones who got hurt, so he decided to just forget it. Rather than fighting with this guy, he chose to put them in a good mood on the way back.

"You are not allowed to leave!"

There was a tug behind him, and Si Yue Yuzhi frowned and looked at the other person again.

"You are just a yelling idiot. Don't you have any awareness that you are a pig? How can a pig attack a human?"

It was obvious that April Yuzhi's aggressiveness was not something a child could withstand. When Hanasaka Taro heard these words, which were even more excessive than before, he suddenly felt his nose sore and almost cried.

Si Yue Yu Zhi showed no mercy at all. He looked at the man coldly as if he was about to cry, and said to the two boys beside him, "You two lapdogs, can't you see that this idiot is crying?"

He had restrained himself from using more dirty words to describe these three guys, otherwise they might not be able to sleep well at night.

"..."

"What are you looking at? Even if you don't have hands, you still have hooves. Use your dirty hooves to wipe his pig face."

The two boys, who usually only dared to bully the weak, had never seen such a scene before. Si Yue Yuzhi's cold face made them feel scared.

Is this guy really an elementary school student? Even a sixth-grade expert wouldn't have the aura he has.

"boring."

Seeing that the other party didn't dare to make any move, Si Yueyu snorted disdainfully and turned to the five girls and said, "Let's go."

"Uh-huh."

The five girls had already been overwhelmed by Si Yue Yuzhi's aura. They had not expected that such a gentle person could be so aggressive.

"Yuzhi, you are so awesome!" Siye looked at April Yuzhi with admiration, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

"well enough."

Si Yueyuzhi responded calmly. He was too embarrassed to agree with the girl. After all, it was really too bullying.

Those elementary school students were so weak that their peers in the Celestial Empire in their previous life could easily scold them and make them cry.

"But it's obviously very cool, can you teach me?"

In this way, she would not be afraid of others bullying her sisters anymore, and she could fight back even if she was insulted.

"And me, I want to learn too!" Ichika also raised her hand excitedly to express her determination.

"Me too."

"And I."

Miku and Mayu also set their sights on April Yuzhi, and so did Nino. Although she did not speak, her eyes were full of determination.

"No."

Although the five girls were expecting this from her, Si Yue Yu Zhi did not feel happy at all. Instead, she hesitated and rejected the girls' request.

However, Yotsuba held his arm relentlessly.

"Yuzhi~ please~~ I will treat you to a lollipop, just teach us~"

The girl's soft voice exploded in his ears. Si Yueyuzhi admitted that his heart trembled twice because of it, but as a principled man, he would never teach such things.

"If I say no, it means no." Si Yue Yuzhi refused cruelly, "I will not teach you such things."

"Hmm..." Hearing determination in the boy's tone, Yotsuba knew that her request would not be granted, which made her feel a little disappointed.

The eyes of the other four girls dimmed.

"I just wanted to protect everyone..."

A lost whisper softened Si Yue Yu Zhi's heart, and the expression on his face became much gentler. He pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the girl and sighed: "No matter what, I will never teach you these swear words..."

No matter how offensive these words are, they cannot bring them any substantial protection, and they may even be accused of being uncultured. How could he let their lives be tainted by such a stain?

"Hmm..." Yotsuba's expression became even more depressed.

"I will protect you from now on."

Si Yueyuzhi realized after he finished speaking that this sentence was somewhat embarrassing, but he managed to keep a straight face thanks to his good expression management.

"Yuzhi, what did you just say?"

Yotsuba's somewhat listless expression began to perk up because of these words.

"No, it's nothing."

"You must have said something, you're stuttering!" Siye pestered Siyue Yuzhi, "Tell me quickly, you didn't even teach me how to swear, and you won't let me hear this kind of thing."

"That's right, Yuzhi, just tell me quickly." At this time, Yihua also hugged April Yuzhi's other arm and shook him.

In fact, what Si Yue Yuzhi said just now was not very soft. Even though the street was noisy, it was loud enough for the girls next to him to hear clearly.

But at this moment he was a little flustered. He could no longer maintain the calmness on his face. His heart was in a mess and he couldn't calm down.

But looking at the girls' hopeful eyes, he gritted his teeth.

"I said, I will protect you in the future."

A blush of shame crept up her young face because of these words: "No matter when or where, I will protect you."

Si Yueyuzhi didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he said this. He only knew that his face was probably redder than the sunset at this moment.

Chapter 16 Our Contract

The boy's face was flushed with youthfulness, and his voice was clear and innocent.

The girls looked at him blankly. Being too young, they had no idea what the relationship and difference were between oaths and children's words.

They only knew that when they heard these words, their hearts, which had suffered from bullying and were full of scars, felt a different kind of warmth that they had never felt before and that was different from the warmth they received from their mothers.

The afterglow of the setting sun is still trying to illuminate the world, and the girls' hearts seem to be illuminated as well.

In April, he clenched his fists, resisting the urge to punch himself and remaining calm.

"It's almost time to go back. Let's go."

"I will."

"Anything else?"

"It's so kind of you!"

Siye rushed into Siyue Yuzhi's arms and rubbed against him. After a moment of hesitation, Siyue Yuzhi hurriedly picked the girl up.

"Look at what you look like."

Are you trying to test him with this? Who can't stand such a test?

"Hehe." Siye didn't feel shy at all, instead she laughed and said, "Yuzhi's heart is beating so fast."

"It's baked in the sun."

"You're lying." Siye stuck out her tongue, "Yuzhi must be shy."

"Yika, come and listen too." She called to her sisters. Upon hearing that, Siyue Yuzhi quickly folded her arms across her chest.

"Hehe, I know without listening. Yuzhi's face is so red, he must be extremely shy."

The smile on Ichika's face grew wider when she thought about how such a gentle and calm boy would become so shy because of a sentence he gave them.

She walked up to Siyue Yuzhi and looked straight into his eyes.

"What, what are you doing?" Si Yue Yuzhi asked calmly.

"Of course it's pinky promise." Ichika smiled and raised her right hand with her pinky finger. "I will remember what you said today for the rest of my life, so you mustn't forget it either."

"I won't forget it." Although he felt ashamed as an adult to say such words to a little girl, he would never go back on his word since he had said it.

"Hurry up, pinky promise!" Ichika urged.

"I know, don't rush me."

At Yihua's urging, Siyue Yuzhi slowly stretched out his little finger and gently hooked it around the girl's finger.

"Let's make a promise. If you lie, you will have to swallow a thousand needles... You are not allowed to be lazy, and you have to say it with me too!"

"Make a pinky promise. If you lie, you will have to swallow a thousand needles!"

Boys and girls sang ancient nursery rhymes, their little fingers intertwined and gently shook, making the purest promise in the world.

"Then the contract is established!"

At the end of the nursery rhyme, the two people's thumbs slowly approached each other and finally pressed tightly together.

"Now Yuzhi can't run away anymore."

"Put your hands down," Yihua said with a smile. Siyue Yuzhi scratched his cheek and turned his head away embarrassedly.

"Wow, Ichika is so cunning, I want to make a pinky promise with Yuzhi too!"

Siye inserted herself between the two of them, stretched out her little finger without saying a word, and looked at Siyue Yuzhi angrily.

With a long sigh in his heart, Siyue Yuzhi resigned himself to his fate and reached out his hand again, hooking the girl's fingers.

"Make a pinky promise. If you lie, you will have to swallow a thousand needles!"

The nursery rhyme was sung again by someone else, and the contract on his body was connected to another girl again.

After making the pinky promise, Siye withdrew her hand in satisfaction. She couldn't stop smiling. Even the sunset that she was used to seeing in the sky looked a little different at this moment.

"Nino, what about you guys?"

Ichika poked Nino's waist gently and asked with a wink.

"No way." The girl muttered softly and turned her head away.

"I will protect you myself."

"Of course I know Nino will protect us." Ichika smiled: "But isn't it good to rely on others appropriately?"

"No need!" After saying that, Nino hurriedly walked away.

The smile on his face turned into a hint of resignation, and Ichika turned his gaze to the other two girls.

"Miku, Mayu, what about you guys?"

"No, no need."

The two girls lowered their heads and shook their heads at the same time. Compared to Yotsuba's cheerfulness, they were much more introverted, and therefore suffered more bullying in class.

"Okay." Ichika sighed with some regret, but quickly cheered up.

"Ichika, Miku, Mayu, come here quickly."

Yotsuba dragged the boy to catch up with Nino, and after finding that they were standing there, she stopped and waved to them.

"Coming."

In April, Yuzhi tried to submit his composition, which was the same composition he read aloud in front of everyone on the day he traveled through time.
