Each world be

With their backs to her were a group of young men dressed in various styles, wearing exaggerated earrings, and with black tattoos on their exposed biceps.

They stood sideways around a person squatting on the ground, their faces grim.

The leader had a cigarette in his hand, one foot bent against the wall, his body leaning lazily against the wall, and blowing smoke rings.

When the smoke cleared, there was a very long scar on the side of the face, running from the brow bone to the earlobe, full of dangerous wildness.

This scene is so familiar.

"Meow~" Suddenly, a cat meowed.

The profile face turned around, and a pair of deep eyes suddenly looked at Shi Qing at the entrance of the alley.

Shi Qing: "..."

But she was much more unlucky than that drunken cousin.

There is a swear word that I don’t know whether I should say or not.

Without saying a word, Shi Qing picked up the cat on the ground and ran away.

The group of people reacted quickly, "Chase!"

Really, being chased by a group of people is like a nightmare coming true, and it really feels bad.

Shi Qing had turned into countless alleys in order to find the kitten that had run away. Now that he was being chased, he ran away with the cat in his arms, not knowing where to go.

The footsteps behind were chasing closely, like the sound of a chain demanding one's life, becoming heavier and heavier.

Shi Qing ran desperately regardless of anything. His heart was beating rapidly, the cold air poured into his nostrils, and he didn't care about the dryness and pain in his throat.

The perspective was shaking extremely unsteadily. Without thinking, she turned right. Suddenly, an arm stretched out from behind the door and pulled her back violently, while the other hand quickly covered her mouth to stop her from screaming.

Suddenly, Shi Qing’s eyes widened.

"Don't make a sound." A suppressed voice came from above her, with a faint fragrance. After realizing that it was not that group of people, Shi Qing stopped struggling.

The heart-pounding footsteps quickly passed through from outside and gradually faded away.

At this moment, in the silence, Shi Qing could only hear his own pounding heartbeat and rapid breathing.

Jiang Jingshuo then let go of his hand and made a quiet gesture to her, "Breathe gently."

Shi Qing nodded and breathed more gently.

The two of them pressed against the cold stone wall. After making sure there was no movement outside, Jiang Jingshuo glanced at the kitten in her arms and decisively grabbed Shi Qing's other wrist, "We have to leave quickly before they return the same way."

In this way, Shi Qing was led by him and ran all the way, and soon returned to the cake shop where she often bought cakes.

Her schoolbag was still quietly placed on the chair.

Perhaps because he was back in a familiar place, Shi Qing's tense mood relaxed, and he asked Jiang Jingshuo first: "Why are you there?"

Jiang Jingshuo breathed slowly and looked at her angrily, "If I hadn't been here, you wouldn't know where your life would be."

The tone was like someone who had eaten gunpowder.

As if recalling the thrilling incident just now, Shi Qing's pale face chuckled, "Thank you so much for what happened just now. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I should do."

Replaying the scene of a group of people chasing her in his mind, Jiang Jingshuo said excitedly: "If you know how to be afraid, why do you want to go to such a dangerous place alone! Do you know that I just--"

Suddenly, Jiang Jingshuo stopped and looked straight at the intact girl.

Because of some things, I came to the cake shop, but saw a familiar backpack sitting alone on the chair, but its owner was nowhere to be seen.

After asking the store manager, he found out that she was looking for the cat. After waiting for a long time, the sky gradually darkened. Thinking of the rumors in the class, Jiang Jingshuo was worried, so he went out to look for her.

However, when he saw Shi Qing in such a thrilling scene, Jiang Jingshuo couldn't imagine whether she would be so safe if she hadn't been a second late.

Jiang Jingshuo just felt a sense of fear.

Now, although Shi Qing's face was still pale and her eyes were wet, she could still smile at him.

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Jingshuo calmed down: "Don't say anything, go home right now! I'll take you there."

Shi Qing looked at him hesitantly, then looked at the quiet cat in her arms, and said cautiously: "This cat has been seen by them, is it not safe to keep it here?"

Jiang Jingshuo stared at the cat solemnly. It was the cat that caused all the trouble. "Take it home first, and we'll talk about it later. I'll go talk to the store manager."

After a while, Jiang Jingshuo came out with two bags, and then he staggered over and put her schoolbag on his shoulder from the chair, "Let's go."

Jiang Jingshuo didn't know the address of her rental house, so Shi Qing trotted after him: "I'm not going home. Just take me to Liangyu Community."

"Liangyu Community?" Jiang Jingshuo paused and said with interest, "I know, it's not far from here, let's go."

Shi Qing held the cat and followed him closely. However, due to the intense running just now, her calves were still a little weak. Soon, the two of them were separated by a distance.

Jiang Jingshuo walked in front with a very sour look on his face. Finally, he couldn't help but stop and turned back: "Miss, you are walking so slowly, aren't you afraid that they will come back?"

From the moment he left the store, this guy had a cold face and didn't say a word. Shi Qing felt a little aggrieved and complained in a low voice: "You walked too fast, I couldn't keep up."

Same last time.

Jiang Jingshuo pursed his lips and stretched out a hand expressionlessly.

Shi Qing looked up at him in surprise and saw that he was holding it up, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Afterwards, Shi Qing tentatively touched Jiang Jingshuo's clothes, and observed his expression tentatively with her light-colored eyes. Seeing that the boy did not refuse, she hooked two fingers around the sleeve of his black jacket.

Jiang Jingshuo stared at his empty palms, put them down expressionlessly, and let Shi Qing pull his clothes.

When two fingers are hooked together, I am always afraid that they will be thrown away. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Shi Qing slightly tilted his head to look at Jiang Jingsuo.

He has an angular face, a high nose bridge, thin and rosy lips, and a pair of narrow eyes looking straight ahead. Although he is a young man, he gives people a sense of security.

Suddenly, Shi Qing felt the blood rushing up and his head felt stuffy. Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see it.

"We're here." Jiang Jingshuo took out a card from his coat pocket and entered the community.

Shi Qing saw that he moved naturally and asked, "Are you living here too?"

"Isn't it fate?" After a cold face all night, Jiang Jingshuo finally smiled, "But I've never met the eldest lady before, it's really strange."

"Maybe you were unlucky before, that's why you didn't meet me." As Shi Qing said this, her delicate little face slightly raised, the corners of her lips curled upwards, and her eyes were obviously charming and arrogant.

It was as if meeting her was a great fortune.

As usual, Jiang Jingshuo smiled helplessly, "Miss is absolutely right."

The silence just now was broken, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious and natural. Shi Qing finally found her home court, swept away the panic and fragility, and brought on the arrogance of a young lady.

After a conversation, the two realized that they lived in the same building, but Jiang Jingshuo lived upstairs and Shi Qing lived downstairs.

When he opened the door and turned off the light, the huge room was dark, like a beast lurking in the darkness. He fumbled to turn on the light and smiled stiffly, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Jiang Jingshuo refused: "It's not appropriate. I'll go upstairs first." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Jiang Jingshuo heard a faint cry of surprise, and then his sleeves sank.

A slender hand tightly grasped his clothes, and the black coat set off the pink round nails.

With his eyes flickering, Jiang Jingshuo turned on his toes, smiling, and looked at her hand in confusion: "Miss, what are you doing..."

Shi Qing shook it off as if it were burning his hand, and said in an unnatural tone: "I want to invite you in for a cup of tea, after all, you just saved me."

Jiang Jingshuo suddenly realized, "But it's not necessary. I don't like drinking tea. Drinking tea now will make me unable to sleep. Miss should drink less."

He is so considerate that it is hard to find fault with him. Shi Qing gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you like?"

Jiang Jingshuo thought hard, "I can't think of it for now. Miss, I'm tired and want to go back and rest early."

He was about to leave without any consideration.

Shi Qing called him anxiously: "Jiang Jingsuo!"

Jiang Jingshuo turned around again, still with a casual and lazy smile on his lips, but he stood there motionless, staring at Shi Qing with his eyes.

Shi Qing opened her lips, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After a long silence, she said, "Nothing."

Turn around to turn on the light.

A hand stretched across her eyes, and turned on the light faster than she did. In an instant, the darkness was dispelled by the warm light.

The boy next to her was a head taller than her. Jiang Jingshuo looked at her with his eyebrows lowered: "Miss, don't always be so stubborn. If you are afraid, just say it directly. It's okay to ask for help. It's not shameful."

The tone was gentle, not meant to tease.

The girl seemed to be very aggrieved. She lowered her head and asked him in a soft voice, "Then can you..."

The following words were a little difficult to express, and Shi Qing bit her lip.

Jiang Jingshuo waited for her patiently.

As if he had made some important decision, Shi Qing raised his head and looked at him: "Can you sleep here with me?"

"What did you say?" Even if he thought of other reasons, Jiang Jingshuo would never say anything shocking.

Shi Qing was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "There are two guest rooms inside. What I mean is that you sleep in the guest room and I sleep in my room. Just for one night."

Jiang Jingshuo frowned slightly and said in embarrassment: "This is not good."

Shi Qing retorted: "What's wrong with that? We're not sleeping in the same room. Besides, for tonight, I'm really scared. Can you stay here with me for one night?"

As he spoke further, Shi Qing's tone became softer and softer, and he shook his sleeve in a rather flattering manner.

Jiang Jingshuo unconsciously rubbed the calluses on his fingertips, met Shi Qing's expectant gaze, and smiled suddenly: "Okay, since the young lady is begging me so much."

The girl's eyes lit up visibly.

After closing the door, Jiang Jingshuo followed Shi Qing and watched her excitedly turn on the lights in the living room. After explaining to her, Jiang Jingshuo went back to his own room to wash up before coming back.

After playing with her phone in the living room for more than ten minutes, Shi Qing finally came out of the bathroom wearing soft pink pajamas.

She also wore a pair of pink slippers on her feet, and her exposed toenails were cute and shiny.

Jiang Jingshuo calmly looked away and pretended to focus on the screen.

Seeing Jiang Jingshuo changed his clothes, Shi Qing said happily: "You are back."

Shi Qing took a few steps forward and sat on the sofa next to Jiang Jingshuo. "By the way, tomorrow is the monthly exam. How is it going? Are you confident that you can get into the top 500?"

During this period, in addition to going to Xia's house for one-on-one tutoring on weekends, Teacher Wu would also assign some homework according to his progress on weekdays, and give another hour of explanation after evening self-study.

There is a monthly exam tomorrow, so Jiang Jingshuo will review on his own today.

According to Teacher Wu, Jiang Jingshuo still has a certain foundation, but it is not very solid. His ability to understand and apply knowledge is still very strong, and his progress is also very obvious. Needless to say, it can be seen from the changes in the attitudes of teachers in various subjects.

He used to sleep in class, not wear school uniform, and occasionally be caught by the dean to write self-criticisms for playing with his cell phone in class. Suddenly, he seemed like a different person.

At least I listened carefully in class, although sometimes I dozed off while listening.

Therefore, Shi Qingdao is more concerned about his academic performance.

Jiang Jingshuo put down his phone, raised his eyes, and smiled meaningfully, "Are you so concerned about my grades?"

Shi Qing: "Of course. After all, I carefully selected your tutor. If your grades don't improve, I will be embarrassed."

Jiang Jingshuo shrugged and smiled: "Then you are done. I guess you will lose face this time."

Shi Qing glared at him and said, "I have confidence in you."

“But I don’t have confidence in myself.”

Shi Qing was silent for a moment, then accidentally glanced at his phone, her eyes lit up, "If you can get into the top 500 in the grade this time, I'll give you a gift. How about that? Are you confident now?"

Jiang Jingshuo rolled his eyes and pretended to think: "You can try harder."

They looked at each other in tacit understanding and laughed together.

"Why were you chased by those guys today?" Jiang Jingshuo changed the subject, put away his smile, and asked her seriously.

Shi Qing also stopped laughing and replied, "The kitten in the store ran out, so I went out to look for it. Then I ran into them beating someone up, and after I was discovered, that's what you saw later."

"Did you see their faces?" Jiang Jingshuo asked.

Shi Qing nodded, recalling the scene he had seen. "The leader among them had a very long scar at the corner of his eye. There were black patterns tattooed on their arms. From a distance, they looked like they had wings, and looked like some kind of insect."

Jiang Jingshuo's breathing paused for a moment, and after half a second, he returned to normal.

Scars, black tattoos, insects, each one is connected to something in memory.

Those chaotic and bloody pasts.

"Do you know these people?" Shi Qing asked him innocently.

"I don't know them." Jiang Jingshuo denied subconsciously, "We still don't know what kind of people they are this time. Try to avoid going out alone during this period. Avoid going to remote places in the future and pay more attention to the surrounding environment. Call the police in time if there is any danger. It would be best if you also tell your family and see how they will arrange it."

He added: "If there are any other abnormalities, call me."

Shi Qing opened her eyes wide, the bright light shining on her light-colored pupils, "If I'm in danger, can you protect me?"

"No." Jiang Jingshuo said decisively, and he habitually smiled, "But I can help you call the police."

Shi Qing: "..."

Jiang Jingshuo stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early. We have an exam tomorrow."

Shi Qing led him to a room and stopped, "Well, good night, Jiang Jingshuo."

Jiang Jingshuo nodded: "Good night, Miss."

Turning her toes slightly and circling her fingers, Shi Qing looked steadily into his eyes: "Thank you for today."
