Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

"Didn't I tell you to go home? Why are you running here?"

Ji Shen had a wound at the corner of his mouth. He hissed in pain as he spoke in anger without controlling his expression.

Zhou Niantang originally wanted to run away after shouting, but because she was concerned about her childhood friend and wondered whether she should call an ambulance, she stayed. She didn't expect that Ji Shenshen would actually interrogate her.

"Hmph, if I hadn't shouted that time, you would all have been beaten to death." She stiffened her neck and looked at the people who had bruises on their bodies and faces.

"I thought he was so powerful, but he was beaten to the point of crying for his parents. I heard it all just now!"

Ji Shen felt that his boasting about his position as the leader of No. 2 Middle School in front of Zhou Niantang was seriously questioned, and the hand that was pinching the back of her neck tightened: "That's because you didn't see that the other party was much more seriously injured than us."

Luo Ze glanced at the quiet alley and asked Zhou Niantang, "You didn't really call the police, did you?"

"Guess?" Zhou Niantang also got angry and looked like he didn't want to talk properly.

In fact, she was not stupid. She did want to call the police, but when she thought about the fact that her two childhood friends were also involved in this matter, she pretended to call the police herself.

Xie Xiaotang is usually the most active person in the group. At this moment, he grabbed his pants and hid behind his brother, trying to reduce his presence.

Zhou Niantang noticed his movements with sharp eyes. When she was pulled out by Ji Shen just now, she noticed that Xie Xiaotang's pants seemed not to be put on properly.

"Xiaotang, what happened to your pants?"

Xie Xiaotang shrank back and his body froze. Well, it’s time to bring up something else.

He didn't pretend anymore and just gave up. "It's nothing. I just got tugged on and there's something wrong with my pants."

Ji Shen pinched the back of Zhou Niantang's neck and said angrily: "Do you know that if those people didn't believe you and didn't run away, with your small body, they could send you to the hospital with just half a punch."

"Stop scaring me. It's not like I can't run."

Zhou Niantang continued to be stubborn, even though she was unsure. Although she had heard that her childhood friends had fought with people from other schools before, she had never seen it with her own eyes. This was the first time.

Ji Shen looked down at her legs and sneered, his expression seemed to say: Just your short legs?

Zhou Niantang had been playing with this group of people for a long time and was easily provoked. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Luo Ze spoke up beside him, "Let's go first, before those idiots come back again."

They are not afraid, but with Zhou Niantang around, they cannot take any risks.

So a group of people supported each other and walked out of the narrow alley. Relatively speaking, Ji Shen and Luo Ze were the least injured, except for bruises on their faces.

Xie Xiaotang was the most embarrassed. The waistband of his trousers was really torn, and he could only walk with his trousers held up. It was so funny, and he was also laughed at by the other people.

When they reached the street corner, everyone else had gone their separate ways, leaving only Luo Ze, Ji Shen, and Zhou Niantang, who were heading in the same direction.

Luo Ze stopped a car and before getting in, Zhou Niantang looked towards the narrow alley. She was sure she would not be mistaken about that profile. Although they had only met for a short time, she could not mistake his appearance and aura.

Ji Shen got in the car and saw Zhou Niantang still standing there looking at something stupidly. He reached out and pulled her in: "Are you stupid?"

"You are stupid."

The car drove away, and the young man walked out of the dark alley, followed by a girl in simple clothes.

"Xiaoqi has been much more well behaved these past few days. He doesn't even ask to go out to play, and he takes his medicine obediently."

"Well, I'll take him in for another checkup next week."

The girl felt warm at heart when she heard the boy's more concerned tone than usual, and asked him with the same concern: "How are you doing over there recently?"

"Fortunately."

The girl knew that he always answered like this, but she couldn't help but ask every time. How could she not know how he had been doing in the past few years? That family had never treated him well.

Both of them are introverted people. In fact, they don’t talk much. After a few seconds of silence, the boy said, "Go back. I’m leaving."

The boy said without looking back, just walked straight forward, and his figure gradually disappeared at the intersection.

The girl stayed where she was until she could no longer see the other person, then she turned back.

Zhou Niantang originally wanted to go home immediately to see if Pei Shi was there, so as to confirm whether he had recognized the wrong person.

But Ji Shen and Luo Ze, both of whom are strong on the outside but weak on the inside, act all showy outside but tremble like a sieve when they get home. They dare not go back alone and insist on taking her with them.

For her sake, the two mothers did not beat her too hard in front of her.

Zhou Niantang watched the whole process like a tool. Finally, at Ji's house, she saw Ji's mother skillfully take out an old shoulder pole from under the sofa and quickly said goodbye.

He didn't care at all about Ji Shen's screams and howls behind him.

When she got home, she saw Uncle Sun coming out of the backyard. She ran over and asked, "Uncle Sun, have you seen Pei Shi?"

Uncle Sun, who knew Zhou Yunqi's attitude, did not stop her like he did before. "He's in the backyard. Miss, do you want to see him for something?"

"I'll go take a look." Zhou Niantang walked a few steps, then remembered something and turned back to ask Sun Bo: "Does Pei Shi usually go out?"

"Yes, but not often. I go out occasionally." Sun Bo's answer was still reserved. He was not sure what Zhou Niantang really thought of Pei Shi.

Although he had long regarded Zhou Niantang as his own child, Pei Shi was equally pitiful, and he didn't want him to suffer any harm in the Zhou family again.

So what he didn't say was that he had previously introduced Pei Shi to work in a friend's restaurant.

He has been helping the poor child to the best of his ability.

"I understand." Zhou Niantang nodded and continued to go to the backyard.

The door of the attic room was half-open. Unlike the previous two times, this time Zhou Niantang felt a slight cool air blowing out before he even pushed the door open.

She knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response. She wanted to push the door open directly, but when she remembered that Sun Bo said Pei Shi was there, she held back and continued to knock on the door patiently.

The door was finally opened from the inside, and the first thing Zhou Niantang noticed was his clothes, a white T-shirt exactly the same as the one she saw on the street.

She confirmed that it was him, but why was he there?

On the way back in the car, she learned from Luo Ze that the narrow alley was full of old houses, most of which were former dormitories for employees of state-owned factories. However, after decades of age, the buildings had long been dilapidated and few people lived there now.

As an orphan, does Pei Shi have any relatives in City A?

She searched her mind to see if there was anything missing when the system told her this story.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he completely forgot that he and Pei Shizheng were standing inside and outside the door, one facing each other in silence.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Shi was too lazy to deal with her and slammed the door shut.

Zhou Niantang came back to her senses and touched her nose awkwardly. She knocked on the door again and said without waiting for the door to open: "I'm reminding you to remember to come to class tomorrow afternoon."
