The boy's head was still covered in his clothes. In order to avoid being discovered, he hid in the branches of trees.

Pulling the clothes off suddenly would definitely attract attention.

Ni Yangzhou was anxious, but his hands were steady. After the zipper was pulled down, he only saw a tall figure in a suit walking towards the gate of the community.

It is not too late.

Ni Yangzhou quietly came out from the bushes, quickly chased forward a few times, and shouted loudly:

"Hey! Brother, your phone fell!"

Ni Yangzhou rushed forward holding his cell phone, and the man in the suit turned his head under the warm yellow street light.

"Hey?"

Ni Yangzhou slowed down his pace, feeling that the man looked familiar.

"Xiao Kai's classmate? Right?"

The man in the suit was sturdy and strong. He stood under the light and spoke first.

"It's not my phone, it's yours..."

Ni Yangzhou remembered that this was Jiao Kaifeng's brother, the one he met in the private room on the second day of coming to this world.

He has strong facial features. Although he is not stunningly handsome, he doesn't look like a gangster. Instead, he looks energetic and like a businessman.

"Ni Yangzhou, what a coincidence." The boy revealed his name to remind the other party.

"Isn't this your phone? I just picked it up on the road."

The man in the suit shook his head with a smile on his face: "It's not mine. Look at my memory. I haven't thanked you for Kaifeng's matter last time, Mr. Ni."

Ni Yangzhou said: "It's okay, I'll do what I should do. No one will sit idly by when seeing this situation."

The man said kindly, "But no one can be as accurate as you, and as courageous as you. Have you practiced before?"

The boy lied: "No, it just happened, I gained experience from fighting."

The man still had his hands in his pockets and didn't take them out: "I'll ask Xiao Kai to treat you guys to dinner tomorrow. Did Xiao Kai tell you?"

Ni Yangzhou nodded, and the man smiled and said, "Then go to bed early, see you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking. After taking two steps, the man turned back and said to Ni Yangzhou who was standing there:

"If you find it, it's yours. You are destined to have it."

Ni Yangzhou would not battle with others at this time to return the things he picked up to the original owner. He just nodded silently.

A pure black sedan drove past the community, and its taillights disappeared into the night.

Ni Yangzhou took his phone home and typed to Jiao Kaifeng on the text message interface.

[I saw your brother in Jinyue Community]

Before he finished typing, Ni Yangzhou deleted each word one by one, leaving only the black input key flashing continuously.

Ask again tomorrow, in person, micro-expressions and actions can get more information.

The boy, full of thoughts, spent another sleepless night.

-------------------------------------

"Oh? You also live in Jinyue Community?"

Jiao Kaifeng, with a messy hair, was doing warm-up exercises at the edge of the playground.

Ni Yangzhou bit the golden bread that Meng Ting brought him and nodded:

"Yeah, recently. I happened to run into your brother yesterday? Does your brother live there too? Do you two live separately? I haven't seen you this far."

Jiao Kaifeng stamped his feet and followed Zhang Min around the playground.

"No, Lao Ni, my sister lives there."

"You have a sister?"

Jiao Kaifeng turned around and said, "They are not relatives, but they are very kind to my brother. He encountered some problems before, so my brother went to take a look."

Ni Yangzhou was alert in his heart, it was true.

"The burglary one...?"

Jiao Kaifeng nodded. "Yes, you know that too? The jing cha investigated for a long time but found nothing. My brother has also been busy with this recently."

There are so many things to do every day, and I am often pulled over by my elder brother to do work.

Ni Yangzhou thought, it would be great if the official could find out, so he could also get some clues.

"It's seven tonight. Don't be late. We'll finish the race this afternoon. I'll go to the hotel first, and you can come directly after you finish running 3,000 meters."

Ni Yangzhou nodded, "Okay."

Jiao Kaifeng ran and jumped to find Zhang Min with a bottle of energy drink.

Meng Ting listened at the side without saying anything. After the people left and he and Ni Yangzhou were the only ones left at the track, he slowly asked:

"No more extra classes in the evening?"

Ni Yangzhou smiled awkwardly. There were too many things to do and his schedule was packed, so he had long forgotten about the tutoring.

"Let's make up for the two hours tomorrow. We have an appointment to have dinner together today."

Meng Ting felt a little bitter in his heart, because he had clearly agreed to give her extra lessons in advance.

But he couldn't say such words, so he just continued to ask:

"Then... that good-looking boy doesn't need to be sent off?"

The word "good-looking" was pronounced with great emphasis, and could be considered to be pronounced in a clear and correct manner.

Ni Yangzhou's eyes drifted to Zhang Min again. The girl was rejecting Jiao Kaifeng with a serious expression on the other side of the playground.

"Oh, please, Li Yuan is gone."

Meng Ting's throat was dry.

You are very considerate of other people's affairs.

"It's a bit sunny today."

Ni Yangzhou squinted his eyes and looked at the sky. It was clearly just morning and the opening ceremony of the sports meet was still being prepared. The athletes from each class were called out early to exercise and were already sweating under the sun.

Meng Ting looked at the small drop of water oozing out from the boy's face and responded in a low voice:

"——Yeah, it's very sunny."

The willow trees on the playground had sparse branches and leaves, and were drooping under the hot sun. The bell for the end of get out of class rang, and the familiar athletes' march was played forcefully. Students rushed into the playground carrying benches like a tide.

The sports meet is about to begin.

"The sun is shining, the breeze is warm, today we gather on the green playground to welcome the 8th Sports Meeting of H City No. 2 Middle School..."

There were no decent stands like in later generations, just a simple dirt playground, and the track lines were drawn by the teachers with white lime one day in advance.

But the students were full of energy.

No one can resist a full day of sports without classes.

Mobile phones are not yet a necessity, and students lined up to enter the venue in high spirits. Some even had a lot of snacks hidden in their pockets or backpacks.

Ni Yangzhou patted Meng Ting on the shoulder, and the two returned to the classroom to find seats.

Usually, the class committee members would be very busy during such activities. Lin Yan and several other teachers were busy maintaining order, while Zhang Min, the cultural and sports committee members and some class cadres mostly had projects and work to do.

Jiao Kaifeng followed Zhang Min and jumped up and down, wishing he could call all his younger brothers to help, but was finally pushed back to his seat by the teacher.

"Our class is the most chaotic in the whole grade. Jiao Kaifeng, you take the lead and stay still!"

After Lin Yan finished shouting with a cold face, she hurried to the other end of the track to act as a referee.

There were many students and few teachers, so all the available teachers were conscripted.

The head teacher of Class 1 was fanning himself with his sun hat while complaining to Lin Yan: "If we hold a sports meet in this weather, it will be a disaster if the students get heat stroke."

Lin Yan also wiped the sweat off her face: "It will be cooler in the evening, and it will be cloudy tomorrow."

"hope so."

"Hey?" The female teacher came closer and gossiped, "How's the progress between you and your boyfriend? Didn't he come to pick you up a few days ago? What's the progress?"

Lin Yan's face was a little red, and she kept moving the pen in her hand: "It's basically settled. I may have to meet his parents soon."

Lin Yan was very concerned about her boyfriend and went over to discuss with her married class teacher what to pay attention to when meeting parents.

Ni Yangzhou sat on the chair and looked around.

After turning around, he met Meng Ting's eyes observing him.

It was still those eyes that were so dark that you couldn’t even see the pupils.

The boy looked directly at Ni Yangzhou's face, straightened his lips, and asked coldly:

"Who are you looking for?"
