Little Wolf Cub of the Ginger Demon King

Although Liu Xingfu was demoted because of his obsession, his wife was separated, and his only fixed property was sold off, it was God's mercy that allowed him to find a girlfriend who was also fond of gambling.

The house they are renting today was built half a century ago. The surrounding area is dirty and noisy, and small vendors hawking on the street make urban management very headache.

When Jiang Lai found this place according to the address on the piece of paper, he wondered if he had made a mistake.

He met Liu Zhi's father once, and it was convenient for him to go to the gymnasium to watch Sun Jing's game.At that time, he looked potbellied but very temperamental, and the clothes he was wearing and the car he was driving were all high-end goods, which had nothing to do with this messy environment.

There are no guards and properties in the old-fashioned community, only a row of red, orange, blue and green sorting trash bins at the entrance of each building is particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Lai stepped forward into the unit door, and heard a burst of eager footsteps coming down the stairs, and then a pair of red and white sneakers came into view.

Jiang Lai's eyebrows tightened, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.

Those shoes are so familiar, they turned out to be Bei Xiaowu!

Jiang Lai didn't know what to be afraid of, but subconsciously knew that colliding with Bei Xiaowu in this kind of place must be very difficult to explain, so he dodged and hid behind the pillar at the entrance of the unit.

With his trouser pockets in both hands, Bei Xiaowu came out of the unit door, striding with the wind.

Why did he appear here, who did he go to, what did he do, why did he leave in such a hurry?

A series of questions flashed through Jiang Lai's mind. Looking at the back of the boy disappearing in the street, Jiang Lai turned around and walked quickly into the unit door.

His heart has been twisted by an invisible force, which makes him very uncomfortable.He was suddenly a little afraid that Bei Xiaowu had found a clue, found Liu Xingfu and reasonably suspected that he was the murderer behind the murder of Bei Tiangui, and then...

Jiang Lai went upstairs quickly, avoiding the cat's eyes and standing at the door of 301, listening to the movement inside.

Not long after, a conversation between a man and a woman came out from the cold door panel. I couldn't hear what was said, but there was the sound of mahjong tiles in the laughter, which made Jiang Lai's heart that had been hanging a little bit relaxed.

It seems that Bei Xiaowu just came to find out, and didn't do anything, let alone do anything irreversible on the spur of the moment.

Jiang Lai returned the same way, passing through the bustling and noisy streets, passing through the vegetables and fruits randomly placed by the vendors and the rotten vegetables and leaves piled up on the side of the road.

Jiang Lai felt it was time to share everything he knew with Bei Xiaowu.He originally wanted to protect the boy as much as possible under his arms, but it seemed that everything was just his own wishful thinking.

His concealment can only make the boy more cautious and sensitive, and his concealment can only make the boy alienate and no longer trust him.

Taking the bus home, Jiang Lai leaned his head against the window glass, watching the neon lights flashing on the street.The new year is coming, and the storefronts decorated for Christmas will soon be replaced with the words "Happy New Year".The bus stopped at the platform, and a group of laughing and noisy boys and girls came up.

They looked about the same age as Bei Xiaowu, with innocent smiles.Jiang Lai originally thought that as long as he was careful enough, he could keep Bei Xiaowu's same smile, but he was wrong.

That kid was so scheming, he actually knew about Liu Xingfu's existence one step earlier than himself!

When Jiang Lai entered the house, he heard laughter in Grandma You's room, so he washed his hands and went straight to see grandma.

Grandma's expression is still dull due to her illness, but the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, obviously in a good mood.Beside her, Chi Xiaohong was smearing her face in front of a mirror, while Bei Xiaowu sat quietly on the other side, smiling as she watched the girl fiddle with cosmetics.

"Back?" Bei Xiaowu saw Jiang Lai and stood up.

Jiang Lai nodded and brushed past Bei Xiaowu, sat in another chair, also looked at Chi Xiaohong and smiled.

After a period of practice, Chi Xiaohong has a little experience, her nose is her nose and her eyes are her eyes, and she fiddled with her make-up tools in a very orderly manner.

Chi Xiaohong felt embarrassed while drawing, pressed the pause button on her phone, covered her face and smiled, "Why are you all staring at me, I'm so embarrassed to draw."

Bei Xiaowu pursed his lips with a smile, and glanced at Jiang Lai.Jiang Lai felt Bei Xiaowu's gaze, turned his head to look at him and smiled.

"Then let's stop watching, Xiao Wu, let's go out to play." Jiang Lai got up, and patted Bei Xiaowu on the shoulder.

Bei Xiaowu stood up suddenly and went out with Jiang Lai.

In the kitchen, Xueman was cooking meticulously, and she happened to be able to see her busy figure through the glass window.

"Did you do well in the exam?" Bei Xiaowu asked Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai nodded, "It's okay."

Bei Xiaowu jumped down the steps, still standing taller than Jiang Lai, he smiled, "Then congratulations in advance."

Jiang Lai reached out to touch Bei Xiaowu's head, but Xiao Wu dodged it.

"Come on, I'm not a kid."

Jiang Lai withdrew his frozen arms, and curled the corners of his lips in dissatisfaction, "Isn't it a child crying and begging for a hug in the middle of the night?"

Bei Xiaowu's eyes widened slightly, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Tch." Jiang Lai turned his head away with a smile.

In a daze, Jiang Lai felt that the person in front of him was not the same person he saw at the gate of Liu Xingfu's unit during the day.

That Xiao Wu's face was filled with a murderous look, extremely gloomy and terrifying, but this little boy in front of him was still his little boy, who would pamper him no matter how round or flat he was.

"Xiao Wu..." Jiang Lai wanted to ask Bei Xiaowu why he went there during the day, but he choked after thinking about it. He still didn't know how to speak. It was too cruel to mention his father's death to a boy, and what was even more cruel was He still doesn't know exactly what role Liu Xingfu played in Bei Tiangui's death.

After all, it would be too hasty to charge someone with a phone call.

Jiang Lai quickly dispelled the sudden idea of ​​wanting to tell Bei Xiaowu everything in the afternoon.

"What's the matter?" Bei Xiaowu smiled, Jiang Lai was the only shadow in his dark pupils.

"Do you want to go to the New Year's Music Festival?"

"When?"

"next Tuesday."

"You don't go to class?"

"It's just a night of self-study."

"it is good."

The New Year Music Festival is an annual open-air carnival for the young generation in the ancient city.At that time, dozens of underground bands in the city will gather together and sing happily all night by the South River.

It was too late when Jiang Lai knew of its existence last year, but this year he wanted to take Bei Xiaowu with him.

"Then I'll ask for a day off." Bei Xiaowu agreed to Jiang Lai without thinking, which made Jiang Lai feel a little relieved.

At least, he can be sure that Bei Xiaowu has no plans during this period.

Jiang Lai went back to school to sell his vacation, and reported his exam situation to Mr. Tang.Teacher Tang heard that Jiang Lai performed well and looked at him approvingly, "From now on, focus on the culture class!"

Jiang Lai nodded, he had already found a cram school and two private tutors, Bai Xue and Xu Feifei.

Although they are all in the third year of high school, the playful nature of the students is indelible. Everyone is chatting about the annual New Year's music carnival in the ancient city.

"I heard that there are several more underground bands this year, are you going?" At lunch time, Xu Feifei came over with a plate and asked Jiang Lai and Sun Jing.

Sun Jing smiled and turned her head to Jiang Lai, "Go?"

Jiang Lai blinked, "Do you still need to ask?"

The open-air music festival starts at [-]:[-] pm and lasts until midnight. According to past experience, there are some inconspicuous newcomers in the afternoon and evening, and the highlight will be after [-]:[-] pm.

So after discussing with each other for a while, the few people decided to go to the performance together to escape to study by themselves that day.

During self-study on Tuesday night, Jiang Lai and Sun Jing sneaked out of the classroom, knocked on the glass windows of Xu Feifei and Bai Xue's class, and then ran to the depths of the playground.

Sun Jing had observed them for a long time ago. The always locked back door of the playground is the only place in the whole school where it is not easy to be found when going out over the wall.

As soon as Jiang Lai and Sun Jing arrived at the back door, they saw two girls running towards them frantically while taking off their school uniforms and stuffing them into their bags.The four people smiled at each other after meeting, and climbed up the rusty iron gate one by one.

On the small street outside the door, Bei Xiaowu had already hailed two taxis and parked them aside, watching them come running from a distance and open the door neatly.

Two girls took the first car, and three boys sat in the back one.Sun Jing sat in the co-pilot, and Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai squeezed into the back row together.

"Master, go to Nanhe."

"Going to the music festival?" The driver said with a smile, "Okay."

Sun Jing and Jiang Lai had already changed their school uniforms in the classroom in order to watch the performance. Both of them were wearing smart jackets at the moment, and their hair was obviously well-groomed.

Bei Xiaowu smelled a faint fragrance from Jiang Lai's body, which was quite pleasant, so he unconsciously moved closer.

"Why?" Jiang Lai put his hands against Bei Xiaowu's approaching head.

Bei Xiaowu smiled and turned his head out of the window.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Lai pinched Bei Xiaowu's thigh.

Bei Xiaowu gritted his teeth in pain, clenched his fists and then loosened them, "Smelly."

Sun Jing turned around with a smile when he heard it, "Kid, who are you talking about?"

Bei Xiaowu pursed his lips and smiled, he knew that there was a pile of Jiang Lai's bottles and jars in the bathroom at home, and he was always curious about when Jiang Lai would use those things, but he didn't expect it to be an occasion like today.

Jiang Lai turned his head to one side in embarrassment, but his left hand was gently pinched.

Jiang Lai didn't turn his head to look at Bei Xiaowu, let alone look at the fingers pinched by Bei Xiaowu, the corners of his mouth itch unconsciously.

He feels that recently, Bei Xiaowu treats him differently than before. He can't say exactly when, Xiaowu is no longer dependent on his younger brother to his elder brother, but more like two boys at the same stage of life.

Jiang Lai couldn't help wondering whether Bei Xiaowu actually liked him a little bit, but he didn't realize this liking.

The car was getting closer and closer to the Nanhe River, and there were more and more pedestrians on the road. Both sides of the road were full of private cars, and the taxis were stuck in a row of traffic, and they couldn't move anymore.

"Shall we go over there?" Sun Jing paid the driver and looked back at Jiang Lai and Bei Xiaowu.

The two people in the back row turned their heads towards the window, but Sun Jing was surprised to find that their hands were tightly held together.
