"If you were alone, you could still make an excuse and say you came back to get your things."
"But since we are here, it is difficult for the elderly to tell us."
"If the old man tells your parents that you are back at this time, it will be difficult for you to explain, right?"
…
The boy opened his eyes wide.
He didn't even think of this.
A smile of surprise and gratitude appeared on his face, "Thank you, Master Xiao."
It really saved him a lot of trouble.
…
"Master Xiao is quick to respond."
Meng Jixi sighed with emotion, then looked at the young man, "Although Master Xiao and I are not bad people..."
"But next time, don't let strangers or people you don't know well into your home."
"Too unwary."
The young man opened his mouth.
He subconsciously wanted to argue.
Because it was Master Xiao and Brother Meng was a policeman, he was so relieved.
Perhaps there was also a sense of urgency in finding Xiao Yi that made him less worried.
But in the end...
"……I see."
The young man lowered his head slightly.
It was his negligence.
…
Meng Jixi nodded with satisfaction.
Then he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the young man's mood.
"What's wrong?"
Wouldn't it be so fragile?
What he just said was not even a reproach.
…
"I just realized..."
The young man did not raise his eyes, and his voice was low, with a hint of smile and helplessness, "Because I know that Xiaoyi has always been by my side to protect me, so I never seem to be very worried about doing things..."
It doesn't matter if you walk without looking at the road.
Xiao Yi will remind him.
It doesn't matter if others bump into you.
Xiao Yi pushed the other person out without leaving any trace.
It doesn't matter if you almost fall.
Xiao Yi will hold him back.
It doesn't matter if someone wants to bully him.
Xiaoyi will let the other party know what it means to reap the consequences.
…
Meng Jixi patted the scared boy on the shoulder.
No wonder this kid ran red lights again and again.
It stands to reason that no matter how confused a person is, they will always learn a lesson.
It turns out that he was "spoiled" by a certain monster before.
So some habits were not corrected for a while.
It seems like...
Why does that monster look like a doting parent?
…
but……
Since he is a monster who cares about the boy...
Then the possibility of it leaving quietly on its own is low.
Meng Jixi was thoughtful.
The other party probably wouldn't want to see the young man worried about it so much.
If the other party really has something to do and wants to leave, even if it is a lie, he will explain it to the boy.
…
"Can I come into your room and have a look?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
"ah."
The young man nodded hastily, "Okay."
"sure."
"My room is here."
The young man walked quickly and led the way.
…
"Let's go."
After Xiao Xiao scanned the boy's room a few times, he walked towards the door.
"Why?"
The young man hurriedly followed.
So fast?
…
"Master Xiao."
Meng Jixi straightened up and leaned against the door frame.
He did not enter the boy's room.
He couldn't find anything anyway.
I won't go in and cause trouble.
He walked into Xiao Xiao, "I think..."
"There is a high possibility that Xiaoyi will be taken away."
…
Xiao Xiao glanced at Meng Jixi and signaled that he was listening.
They walked out of the room and walked downstairs.
…
"Xiao Yi and Zhao Yihuan have a very good relationship."
Meng Jixi put his hands in his pockets and said his guess as he went down the stairs, "In a sense, he is taking care of Zhao Yihuan in every possible way."
"It is unlikely that such a young boy would leave without saying goodbye even though he knew it would make Zhao Yihuan worried."
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
He also had the same idea.
Except for this possibility...
"There is another possibility."
"There is still one?"
Meng Jixi paused in his steps.
"Maybe Xiao Yi left on his own initiative at the beginning."
"It's just that it thought it would come back soon."
"Before Zhao Yihuan discovered that it was missing."
"did not expect……"
"There was an accident."
Meng Jixi murmured.
That's right.
This is also a possibility.
…
"But no matter which possibility..."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the young man who was following them quietly and said nothing.
But Meng Jixi knew what the second half of Master Xiao's sentence was.
No matter which possibility it is...
The results are the same.
Xiao Yi was taken away.
This is already a euphemism.
To put it bluntly -
"Xiaoyi was captured?!"
The boy's exclamation echoed in the quiet corridor.
Provoking a wave of echoes.
…
Meng Jixi's eyebrows raised slightly.
This kid... reacts very quickly when he shouldn't.
…
"Something really happened to Xiao Yi..."
The young man was instantly panicked.
The stalling heartbeat was like thunder exploding in his ears.
He was a little dizzy.
Although I have always had this suspicion in my mind...
But until the authenticity of the speculation is not clearly proven, a guess is still a guess.
When the guess turns into reality, all luck is gone.
He had to accept the fact.
…
"Don't panic."
Meng Jixi conveniently hit the boy on the head.
"Don't you want to find Xiao Yi?"
"How can I find Xiao Yi when I panic first?"
…
"……Um."
The young man took a deep breath.
That's right.
He wants to find Xiao Yi's.
The young man clenched his hands hanging by his sides.
The fingertips dug into the palm of the hand.
But he didn't even feel any pain.
"Say more-"
Say more?
The young man looked at Meng Jixi subconsciously.
Meng Jixi looked at Xiao Xiao, "Isn't Master Xiao still here?"
"Master Xiao is very powerful."
Xiao Xiao:......
Meng Jixi narrowed his eyes and smiled at Xiao Xiao.
He is not trying to squeeze out Master Xiao.
Ever since he met Master Xiao, as long as it was an incident involving monsters, Master Xiao could not solve it perfectly.
So this time, he also believed in Master Xiao.
Although the difficulty is indeed higher this time.
No.
It's much higher.
After all, there is really too little information.
But……
He glanced at the young man whose eyes suddenly lit up.
If he didn't give the young man a reassurance, he was worried that the young man would "trap" him in a dead end.
