After being teased by the little witch Xu Xin, my mood couldn't get better. In the afternoon, I went to two more talent exchange markets. Because I was absent-minded and there was indeed no suitable company, I got nothing. It was almost evening when I came out of the market, took out my cell phone, and called Qiu Jieqin.

"Hey, Xie Qin, it's me, are you going to get off work?"

"Well, it's almost there, there are more than ten minutes left."

"I officially resigned yesterday. Today I wandered around the talent market to see where I could work."

"Yeah?"

"Yes! But after walking for a long time, I didn't see the right one. You know, I have no special skills except for fiddling with some chemical elements. This is not easy to find!"

"Um!"

"Huh? Why don't you have any advice? What's wrong? I'm in a bad mood?"

"no."

"No, you are not like this usually! Is there anything wrong?"

"————————I want to see you in the evening, and I have something to say to you."

"If you have something, you'll make it now. Want to be anxious?"

"Now, it's inconvenient."

"Well, where will we meet in the evening? What time?"

"Well--in an hour, you can come directly to my house. I'll buy some vegetables and cook two of them for you to try?"

"Okay! I really haven't tasted the dishes you cooked. But are you really okay? I think you have something to worry about!"

"—I'll tell you when you come."

"Then - see you in an hour!" I hung up my phone and thought as I walked: "Qiu Jieqin is in a bad state! It seems that there is something unspeakable. When I parted the night before yesterday, what will happen suddenly?"

I was puzzled, and it seemed that I could only wait for her to tell me. It was still early, so it was useless for me to hurry up. I crossed the road and walked slowly on the causeway by the river.

The winter evening comes very quickly, and it is already dusk at this moment. On the endless edge of the Yudai River, half the sun is about to sink, and the clouds in the sky are dyed red, reflecting a spectacular and beautiful picture with the river surface.

There were such a beautiful scenery, and many people stopped by the river to enjoy it. I walked around and accidentally saw a familiar back under the setting sun.

It was a beautiful back of a girl. She was sitting on the railings of the river embankment. The river breeze blew slowly. Her long black hair was fluttering in the wind. She was wearing a close-fitting girl's school uniform. She looked like she was not old last year, but her curves were fascinating. Such a beautiful scenery and such a back looked like a peerless oil painting, which was extremely beautiful and exquisite.

But in my eyes, I was so angry that I didn't even hit me. The girl was Xu Xin, who had just teased me very badly. At this moment, she was obsessed with the clouds in the sky. I thought to myself: Okay, I can search for it without any effort. Now let me catch you, see what you have to say.

I stood behind her silently, thinking about how to teach her a lesson. It doesn’t matter whether the money is to be returned. The important thing is to let her understand that her behavior just now was extremely bad and unethical deception. She was so heartless at a young age. How can she be a useful person to society when she grew up?

I was about to speak when I heard the little witch sigh. It seemed that there were thousands of melancholy and helplessness. At a young age, it seemed that there were many troubles and sorrows that could not be solved.

I was stunned for a moment, and the words were stuck in my heart and I couldn't spit it out. This demon who seemed to have not grown up actually has such a side?

After Xu Xin sighed, she waved her legs and got off the railing, and turned around and saw me. I was startled when I saw her, then smiled awkwardly and said, "It's you? How can I find me?"

Originally, I had many great principles to use to teach her a lesson, but after hearing her sigh, I thought she must have some sad things that are unknown to outsiders, so she learned bad things like this. I said, "Where are your two classmates? How did you compare the speech competition?"

Xu Xin blushed and said, "Where is there any speech contest? That's me - who lied to you! My two classmates have already returned home, and their parents called and called them back."

I knew something scammering about speech contests, so it was not surprising at all. I asked her again: "Why haven't you been home yet? It's getting dark and your house is so far away from here. Are you afraid that your family will worry?

Xu Xin snorted and said, "They? They won't worry about me! They won't be too happy if I don't go back, so why do they still care about me? Anyway, I will never go back to that home again."

I said, "Nonsense! Although you are naughty, how can you have parents who don't care about your children? Have you quarreled with your family? If you run away from home like this, your relatives will be anxious to death! You are so ignorant!"

Xu Xin bit her red lips and said angrily: "You don't have to worry about my business! Didn't you just lie to you to invite customers? I'll give you back the money, and then you do whatever you like, so teach me less a lesson!" She said as she took out a small wallet and wanted to open it to withdraw the money.

I said, "No need, it's a small matter to invite you to have a meal, and I won't take it seriously. Your brother and sister are both my good friends, and you are their sister. How can I watch you wander on the streets without caring about it? I don't know what disputes you have with your family, but it's wrong for you to run away from home quietly. Wait a moment, I'll call your brother to let him pick you up."

As I said, I took out my cell phone and prepared to call Xu Jian.

Xu Xin said angrily: "Why are you so meddling in other people's business?" She saw that I had already pressed the button and was about to dial. She turned around and ran away while I was not prepared.

I hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Where are you going? Come back quickly!" But Xu Xin was not willing to listen to me? Her legs were very long and she ran far away in just a few steps.

I thought to myself that when she ran away, the world was so big, how could she find her again? Although the little witch was tricky and weird, she was a weak girl after all. She was wandering outside all day without anyone taking care of her. If she met some bad guy, the consequences would be serious. Originally, I shouldn't have been in charge of this matter, but now no one knows her except me, and her sister and brother are my friends. How could I watch the little witch run away without caring about it?

At this moment, I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I had to start chasing her. After trying to catch her, I informed Xu Jian to pick her up.

So on the long dike by the Yudai River, a girl in the flowery season fled in panic, and a man followed him, attracting pedestrians to look at each other and discuss.

I don’t know if Xu Xin had practiced long-distance running in school. Although she started running first, I, a tall and big man, could not catch up with her for a while. I was shocked and angry, and gritted my teeth and tried harder, and I seemed to get closer and closer.

Xu Xin turned around and saw in horror that I was about to catch her. In desperation, she had to shout loudly: "Help! Hooligan!"

I almost fell from behind, what? Hooligan? Don't you need to frame me like this?

Sure enough, a hero who saved the beauty appeared in the slanting thorn and stopped me: "Boy! Is it too much to tease the girl in broad daylight?"

Before I could stop, I called out "Ahhh" and collided with the hero who saved the beauty. With a "bang", he and I both looked at each other with stars, and they turned upside down with a dizzy sky, so painful that they couldn't even hum.

The little witch stopped in the distance, clapping her hands and laughing. And I also surrounded me with three or four people watching the fun. As soon as I hit, my forehead, chest and knees were in pain. When I heard the little witch's gloating laugh, I gritted my teeth and said to myself: "Look, I won't catch you."

I saw that the man who stopped me also sat up, and he was stroking his forehead and cursing at me. It seemed that there would be nothing serious. I ignored him and endured the pain and chased the little witch again.

When Xu Xin saw that I actually got up and chased her, she screamed in fear and ran away again. I was afraid that she would call for help again, hooligans and other things, and she ran faster, just wanted to catch her in one go.

But I had to admire her. Although she didn't call for help again and no one came to stop me again, I still couldn't catch up with her. After running for about seven or eight minutes, I wonder how far we had run. I felt that I was almost breathless, and my speed was as slow as a turtle climbing. The little witch was not much better than me a few steps ahead. She covered her heart and staggered, but in the end she really had no strength. She sat on the railing and only gasped.

I chased her, supported my knees with my hands, bent down and breathed, wanting to speak, but I was so tired that I couldn't spit out a word. Just like that, you looked at me with the little witch, I stared at you and breathed in big mouthfuls.

After a long time, I calmed down a little and said, "What are you running away? I am not a bad person!

The little witch gasped and said, "You want to take me home, but you are not a bad person! Oh my god! I'm so tired!"

"I-I'm doing it for your own good! You are a single-girl, wandering in this unfamiliar place. What should I do if something happens? No, you have to go home and wait for me to call - give it to your brother."

"You hit me! You hit me-I'll run!"

I took a few more breaths, finally adjusted my breathing evenly, and then said, "Why are you so ignorant, a child? Do you think it's fun outside? There are all kinds of people in this society. It's your luck to meet me. If you meet some bad guy, cheat you and sell you to the poor valley, it's too late to regret it."

The little witch was still stubborn: "I was sold to a poor valley and don't go home, let alone you care. You have so many things, do you want to be my brother-in-law?"

I was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Brother-in-law? I'm so sorry, I can't stand it. But your brother is my eldest brother, and I can't ignore your business."

"Bah! My brother is your elder brother. Don't get close to our family. I don't know you yet? I'm dreaming of my sister. Let me tell you, if you want to get my sister, you have to pass my level first!"

I was too amused and too lazy to explain to her, so I said, "No matter what, you can't run away anymore. Follow me until your brother comes to pick you up."

"You--Okay! I'll follow you. Anyway, I have no place to go. Now I'm hungry, so I can be taken care of by someone! But I'm determined not to go back. If you dare to call my brother, I'll run away."

I was angry and funny and said, "Why? What's wrong with you at home? Why do you hate going home so much?"

The little witch said, "Do you care about me? Anyway, I won't go back, so I can just ask me to follow you. There is only one condition. Don't tell my family, otherwise I would rather be sold to a poor valley to be a little wife for others!"

I said, "How can that be? What do I look like when I keep you a girl's house with you all day long? If you don't go home, you will make your family members anxious. I don't agree!"

Xu Xin stood up from the ground, patted the dust on her butt, and said angrily: "If you don't agree, you'll pull it down! Do you think I still want to follow you? Just beg you, don't follow me anymore, you don't have to worry about my life or death!"

She said, turning around and leaving.

I had no choice but to call her: "Hey! Wait a minute!"

The little witch turned around, looked at me proudly, and said, "What? Have you changed your mind?"

I thought to myself, there is no way. Let's promise you now. Wouldn't I call secretly while you are not paying attention? When your brother comes to pick you up, I don't need me to chase you if I want to run away. I don't want to worry about it yet!

So I pretended to sigh and said, "Oh! You are such a lonely person, I am really afraid that you will be abducted by others. Well, you can follow me first. I will take care of you in the past two days, and I will wait for you to have enough fun and figure it out, but I must go back, otherwise the people in your family will be desperate, and you have to agree to this!"

The little witch smiled and jumped to me in one step, saying, "Okay! Then wait until I figured it out before I can talk about it! But don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Do you want to secretly tell my brother if I'm not careful? Tell you! Don't be tempted with me, you're a little tender!"

This little witch smiled so innocently, and she looked harmless. Who knew that she was scheming and experienced in her heart. I forced herself to smile and said, "Hehe! I dare not, I dare not!"

The little witch said, "Don't say it so nicely! I want you to make a swearing, and I promise not to tell my family, otherwise you don't want me to believe you!"

My cold sweat suddenly emerged from my back, and I thought to myself, "This little witch is so powerful, I actually gave me this trick. It seems that I can only agree to her for the time being and find a way later."

I said, "Okay, okay! I swear, if I tell your family about you, I will be a puppy! OK?"

The little witch was both angry and funny, and said angrily: "This is also called poison oath? Puppy? Please be serious, okay? Don't be funny, if you do this again, I'll leave!"

I spread my hands and said, "What do you want me to say? I really can't swear!"

The little witch said, "Okay! I will teach you, just say, if you tell my family about my news here, you will let your whole family die! This is a poisonous oath."

When I heard this, I was furious and shouted, "Damn it! What did you say?"

When the little witch saw me angry, she didn't care and said, "If you don't send me, it means you have no sincerity and is not worthy of my belief. If you don't have a bad idea in your heart, you won't be afraid of any poisonous oath, are you right?"

She shook her hand at me and said, "Goodbye, don't waste your time, go whatever you need, I'll leave too."

I saw her start and leave, wouldn’t my previous efforts be wasted? I was anxious and shouted: “Wait! I——”

The little witch turned to face me, but her steps were regressing. In a helpless manner, I had to say, "I send it! I swear, if I tell your family about you here, I will kill my whole family!"

The little witch smiled and immediately ran to me, happily holding my arm, and said with a smile: "Okay! Then I will follow you! After you go, take me to eat, my stomach is almost hungry!"

I was forced to make a poisonous oath, and I felt extremely unhappy. I broke away from her hand in anger and said, "Since I follow me, I have to obey my arrangements. Don't bother me and I'm not allowed to cause trouble."

The little witch was very happy and shouted hard: "Yes! Follow the command of the leader!"

Seeing her happy, I felt upset. If I took her home now, I could squeeze into a room with my younger sister. They were about the same age, so I would definitely be able to play. It was a little troublesome to explain. I took a girl home for no reason? It was a headache! By the way, Qiu Jieqin had important things to tell me. If I didn't take the little witch, I was afraid that she would run away if she was not careful. If I took her with me, I would be two of them that big.

I thought for a while and decided not to go to Qiu Jieqin's place. I took a little witch and couldn't talk well, so I called her and said I couldn't go. I took out my cell phone and was about to call Qiu Jieqin, but suddenly the little witch shouted, "What are you doing?" Then she snatched my cell phone and said, "You just swear not to tell my family!"

I said angrily, "Who said I want to call your family? I originally had a date in the evening, so how can I go with you? I called her and told her not to go. Stop making trouble and return my phone to me!"
