Chapter 28 The Girl at Night

Friday, 11:17 pm.

Xiaoxia yawned, got off the bus, and looked back.

The bus closed the door and left.

She pulled the strap of her schoolbag on her shoulder and shook her head. She was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.

The high school entrance examination is coming soon, and the review is very stressful. She has to do more than a dozen papers in school a day.

Because it is a key junior high school, the school controls the admission rate, and teachers have higher and higher requirements for them.

Xiaoxia's condition is already a bit too much.

She lowered her head and walked forward. She had to walk through a dark and narrow path before she could reach the entrance of the family courtyard.

Her parents went to work in BJ, leaving her in the care of her elderly grandmother.

Her grandmother couldn't help her with her homework at all. Every time her parents called, they would only urge her to study hard, ask her if her grades had declined, and tell her not to be playful.

She just walked like this until the sound of footsteps behind her attracted her attention.

Xiaoxia turned her head slightly, and she noticed that the footsteps were not far from her, about ten steps away.

If she quickens her pace, the man will quicken his pace.

If she slows down, that person will also slow down -

Suddenly, it was like someone poured a basin of cold water on my head, and I lost all my sleepiness.

She was scared and wanted to shout.

But at this time, there was no one on the road at all.

what to do--

Xiaoxia felt panicked.

My mind was rapidly imagining all the possibilities.

She secretly looked behind her

Only a blurry black shadow was seen.

In an instant, all the hairs on my body stood up.

Who can come and save her——

No matter what, we have to fight for life or death anyway.

Xiao Xia was worried and turned around bravely, her eyes widened as she wanted to see the bad guy clearly!

"ah!!!"

In the dark night, a shrill scream pierced the night sky.

Zhu Xiaozhou squatted in front of the shelf, packing up the long-sealed pawns, trying to find the Chongyun brocade hair tie that Bai Yuan wanted among the pawns.

Who knows what Chongyun Brocade is?

"Are you sure it's a hair tie?"

Xiao Wenxuan stood in front of the shelf in the back row, opening the dusty brocade boxes one by one. Browsing through the items, there were all kinds of small things inside, such as bronze mirrors, luminous cups, daggers, and jade Ruyi.

"have no idea--"

As Zhu Xiaozhou spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Bai Yuan who was sitting in front of the window.

He was enjoying the quiet night carelessly.

But he was always on high alert, as if he was always paying attention to the situation on their side.

Zhu Xiaozhou responded helplessly, "If he said yes, then it should be."

"That's right, his favorite one should be the concubine." Xiao Wenxuan said lightly, catching a glimpse of Bai Yuan looking over, somewhat provoking him.

Zhu Xiaozhou shrugged his shoulders and expressed that he didn't care.

Suddenly, the wind chime rang.

Zhu Xiaozhou stood up immediately, "Hello——"

What, it’s a child?!

This time, the one who broke into Qiyundang turned out to be—

A little girl wearing a junior high school uniform.

Carrying a schoolbag and wearing twin tails, he looked a little embarrassed.

He was out of breath from running and looked like he was in shock.

The first thing that attracted Zhu Xiaozhou was the girl’s school uniform——

Qinglin Junior High School.

That was also the school Zhu Xiaozhou once attended.

This little girl is actually her school girl?

"Help me -" Xiaoxia looked nervously at the two people in front of her.

Although she thought the man's dress was a bit strange, she didn't have time to think about it in the current situation.

Zhu Xiaozhou looked at Xiao Wenxuan and then at Bai Yuan with a complicated expression.

"What do you need us to do for you?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked.

"There are bad people! There are bad people chasing me -" Xiaoxia was very nervous and looked behind her from time to time.

She was chased by that man all the way and came here. This was the only store open along the way.

Xiaoxia didn't even look at the sign in front of the store.

She didn't even know what kind of store this was.

I just want to ask for help, hoping someone can help her.

After listening to her words, Zhu Xiaozhou first walked to the door and looked out.

But she didn't see the bad guy she said.

"Sister, please help me." Xiao Xia cried for help and looked at Zhu Xiaozhou and then at Xiao Wenxuan.

She hoped that these two people would be kind-

Take her in.

Let her stay here for a while until the bad guy is sure to leave.

"Zhouzhou, I think——" Xiao Wenxuan tried to dissuade him.

"Okay." Zhu Xiaozhou agreed, "You can stay here until you feel safe."

Xiaoxia was very excited, "Thank you, thank you sister."

Xiao Wenxuan had no choice but to turn around and look at Bai Yuan. Only to find that Bai Yuan, who was sitting by the window, had disappeared——

The doorbell rings.

As if something was there, he opened the door and went out.

Xiaoxia was startled, and she hid behind Zhu Xiaozhou, tightly holding on to Zhu Xiaozhou's clothes, and looked at the store door in horror.

"It's okay -" Zhu Xiaozhou patted Xiao Xia's hand holding her clothes, with a very gentle expression on his face.

How could he not be moved by being called sister by such a beautiful and pitiful girl?

I complained in my heart again, that guy Bai Yuan——

Why do you always have to make some noise? Just go out when you go out. You have to scare people.

"Are you a student of Qinglin Junior High School? Did you just come back from school so late with your schoolbag on your back?"

Zhu Xiaozhou pulled her to the counter and sat down so that she could relax and calm down.

Xiaoxia nodded obediently. "I am a third-year junior high school student. My name is Xiaoxia. The high school entrance examination is coming soon. Everyone is under great pressure and they all want to get into a good school——"

Zhu Xiaozhou felt sad.

Probably every student preparing for the exam thinks so.

"What's your family's phone number? Do you need my help to contact them?"

With that said, he took out his mobile phone, opened the dialing interface, and waited for Xiaoxia to call the number before dialing it.

Xiaoxia bit her lips tightly and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What's wrong?"
