Hidden Corner - Sun, Moon and Stars

"Ahem..." Swallowing a mouthful of swimming pool water doesn't feel good at all.

Seeing that she was choking heavily, Zhu Chaoyang patted her on the back symbolically.

The swimming pool in summer is always a lively scene, full of the sound of children playing and adults shouting.

A sharp whistle pierced through these complex sounds and entered the ears.

Zhu Chaoyang, who had long been accustomed to the voice, quickly looked over, and sure enough, Yan Liangpupu was standing there.

Why this time?Zhu Chaoyang frowned slightly.

Turning around, I saw Zhu Jingjing staring at him with wide open eyes without blinking.

"You stay here first, I'll be right back."

"Where are you going brother? Dad has already gone to buy soda." Zhu Jingjing rolled her eyes and saw the two people standing outside.

"You are not allowed to move here, and you can't follow me." Zhu Chaoyang stood up, thought for a while and added, "If you run around after me, you will be arrested by the bad guys."

"??" Zhu Jingjing suppressed a smile, what kind of threat is this that is only useful to a three-year-old child? "Then am I at risk of being arrested here alone?"

"..." That's fine, there's no risk.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Dad will be anxious when he comes back and can't see anyone."

Zhu Chaoyang looked over from a distance and found that his father was about to finish queuing up, and the time was getting tighter, so he told Zhu Jingjing, "Stay here and don't move."

Don't move, don't move, Zhu Jingjing looked at his back running quickly, thinking about what they were talking about this time.

However, I found that I couldn't remember it...

They must be in frequent contact in private, but all the plots she remembers must be plots that are of great significance to promote the development of the plot.

So what did they say when they met this time?Zhu Jingjing picked up a pen and fell into deep thought as she stared at the plot analysis table drawn earlier on the table.

For money?It should be related to Zhang Dongsheng.

Zhang Dongsheng should have promised to give them money every week, and there is no particularly sharp conflict between the two parties at present.

Zhu Jingjing drew a circle at "30/week", and the arrow behind it pointed to the words "[-]".

What happened during this time?Why was 30 suddenly given?She must have overlooked some detail.

This group of people is very purposeful in doing things, and they only do this when they have to ask for money.

had to ask for money...

"Rongrong!" Zhu Jingjing called to the girl in front of her, and now she already knew the names of some people in the chorus class.

"Jingjing." The girl turned her head, "Your dress is so pretty today." There was some envy in her eyes.

"Rongrong, I don't have class today, please help me pass this leave slip to the teacher."

Zhu Jingjing gave her the leave note, "It was written by my mother, with the reasons for asking for leave and my mother's autograph on it."

"Leave note? Why did you ask for leave?"

"Someone in the family is sick, what, if the teacher asks why the parents don't call in person, you say that my mother forgot to remember the teacher's phone number before."

Six or seven-year-olds don't know much, so they nodded when they heard what she said, "Okay, I'll help you with the teacher, are you leaving now?"

"Thank you, thank you, then I'm leaving, my mother is still waiting for me outside." Zhu Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, waved her and ran out of the Children's Palace.

After hiding for a while in a shop opposite the Children's Palace, I saw Zhu Chaoyang come out to join Yan Liangpupu.

No matter how meticulous your layout is, you are no match for the opponent's disagreement overturning the chessboard.

Zhang Dongsheng directly wanted to overturn the chessboard several times, but was smashed by various coincidences.

For example, this time, Xu Jing seemed to have died not long ago, and Zhang Dongsheng was in the stage of mental instability. If the second female classmate of Wannian hadn't brought his father to the door, would he have put away the knife that was ready? But not necessarily.

As for whether the second female classmate happened to come to the door again today, after so many things happened, it was even more uncertain. Zhu Jingjing was not dead, and her father might have brought her here earlier when he was not so busy.

The boy who had just entered puberty had not yet supported his frame, Zhu Chaoyang looked thin and not very capable of fighting, and Yan Liang, the only older one who could fight, could not enter the house.

Zhu Jingjing could already imagine how Zhu Chaoyang's blood spattered on the spot today...

Outrageous, you are going to meet the murderer. Hey, can't you bring a stick or knife for self-defense?

If Zhu Chaoyang really died... Zhu Jingjing's heart skipped a beat. Her purpose was to monitor their behavior and avoid involving the people around them.

If Zhu Chaoyang died, then her parents should have nothing to do with this matter at all, right?Maybe Dad will be sad for a while.

Zhu Jingjing was taken aback by her own thought, how could she become as helpless as Zhu Chaoyang?

She doesn't have the heart and ability to take care of other people's life and death, but Zhu Chaoyang is her relative after all, knowing that the other party is in danger, she can't stand by and watch no matter what...

Zhu Jingjing felt that she had broken her heart, and this dreadful summer vacation should pass quickly, after which she would never care about Zhu Chaoyang again.

Putting his mind away, he quietly followed the three of them.

They are all in the same residential area, and Zhang Dongsheng's home is also nearby.

At 10 minutes, Zhu Jingjing looked at Zhu Chaoyang's figure going upstairs and thought, if Officer Ye hadn't arrived in 10 minutes, she would find a place to call the police.

This time, Zhu Chaoyang didn't refuse to save Zhu Jingjing or just push him away. The 30 yuan alone has nothing to do with him, let alone minors.

It's a pity, it's a pity that Yan Liang Pupu, who was harmed like this, will be taken back to the orphanage, and Pupu's younger brother will also...

But she had no other choice but to say sorry to them in her heart.

The cicadas chirped long and loudly, clamoring for the dry heat in the air.

15 minutes...

Zhu Jingjing's palms were sweating, and she felt indescribably nervous. Did she set the time for a long time?Will it start after a few words?

No, she wants to call the police immediately.

Standing up and running to the guard hall at the gate of the community, just as he was about to knock on the door and enter, he happened to see a father and daughter walking into the community.

"Minmin, Mr. Zhang's home is in this community, right?"

"It must be..."

Withdrawing the hand that was about to knock on the door, Zhu Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Long live Officer Ye!

There should be no problem in the future. After hearing that Zhang Dongsheng's wife died, Zhu Chaoyang also began to be more vigilant, and he never made any dangerous moves to go directly to the door.

Still not completely relieved, I waited in a corner downstairs for a while, saw the three of them going downstairs together, and followed them quietly again.

Until the three of them got on the bus and couldn't continue to follow, they could only give up the idea of ​​finding out where their secret base was.

It was late in the evening when Zhu Chaoyang walked home, and saw a figure sitting at the door of the building from a distance, and when he got closer, he found that it was Zhu Jingjing.

"Zhu Jingjing? You..." Zhu Chaoyang looked around, "You and Dad?"

"No, Dad didn't come, it's just me." Xiao Xiao yawned, she was so bored that she was sleepy after waiting for so long.

"You? What are you doing here?"

"I went to look for you after class but didn't find it. I thought you came home so I came to look for you."

"What did you come to see me for?" Zhu Chaoyang squatted down and looked her in the eye, "Your mother won't pick you up from school?"

"I told my mother in the morning that I would go to a classmate's house after school to play, and I would not go back until after dinner."

Back then, she was a good child who kept her own place, but today she even made up lies for him all day and even skipped class... But it seems good that she doesn't have to sing "Little White Boat".

"?" Zhu Chaoyang still couldn't understand her motives, "Why did you start lying at such a young age?"

He took her arm and pulled her up, "Where is your home, take you home, or call Dad to pick you up."

"No phone calls!" would reveal...

"I said I didn't go home until after dinner, why did you drive me away as soon as you came back!"

Zhu Chaoyang was still annoyed by Zhang Dongsheng's affairs, and he lost his patience seeing her like this, "Zhu Jingjing, what's the matter with you? If you don't come home, I'll call Dad."

"I came to play with you just because I like you! Brother, why are you doing this!"

But you can't make a phone call... Why is it so difficult for her to cheat a meal?It's okay to go home...

Zhu Chaoyang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"You have a lot of books, brother." Zhu Jingjing walked into his room, and there were quite a lot of references for the college entrance examination among the books full of bookshelves.

This child is really high in IQ... I don't know if her father has passed this on to her...

I wanted to say don't mess with his things, but when I walked into the room and saw her standing quietly in front of the bookcase, she paused and changed the subject, "What do you want to eat?"

My mother happened to be not at home today, and fortunately she was not at home.

"Huh?" Looking away from the bookcase, "Eat whatever you have."

Running to Zhu Chaoyang, "Brother, can you cook?"

"No." He only knows how to steam rice...

Zhou Chunhong's craftsmanship is good, and the pastry is delicious. Considering Zhu Chaoyang's nutrition, the fillings are very rich.

While eating, Zhu Chaoyang quietly raised his head to look at Zhu Jingjing who was opposite him.

It seems that he has no dislike for this simple meal. Every time he picks out a shrimp from the siu mai, his eyes light up...

"Zhu Jingjing."

"Huh?" She really likes shrimps so much, she must have been seafood in her previous life, no, it was her previous life.

"What you just said... is it true?" After speaking, the voice was already inaudible.

"Huh? What did I say?" Zhu Jingjing looked up strangely, while Zhu Chaoyang lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.

"It's nothing."

At such a young age, he can tell lies and deceive adults, and there is no half truth in his mouth...

It shouldn't be half a sentence...
