I'm on the scramble

Love can make a naive man grow rapidly.

Although Ranpo is still quite dissatisfied with not being able to see Ari anytime soon, he has learned to understand.

"I want to be a mature and reliable man who won't worry you, Ah Li."

The detective drooped his head and said sullenly, the floppy beret seemed to cover his cat ears, and every strand of black hair revealed a sense of pity.

Ah Li didn't understand how a young man who had always acted like no one else and went his own way transformed.All she knew was that she couldn't ignore him like this.

"It's all said, you don't have to force yourself... In my heart, you, Luanbu, are reliable enough."

Ah Li was amused by his words, pinched his hands on Luanbu's depressed cheeks, and pulled his lovely soft flesh outward.

"Just wait for me for a few days, you know?"

The great Ranpo-sama was powerless to resist, and could only nod aggrievedly: "Yes."

During the few days he lived at Ming Piao's house, Ah Li would check for any suspicious signs outside the house.Due to the convenience of living nearby, Mingpiao would often tell her about the movement of Shengshan's heart-to-heart communication.

Sure enough, as long as a handful of delicious bait is thrown out, the big fish hidden in the pond will swim over just around the corner.

"During the period when Madam is going to be a guest at a friend's house as usual, I will take good care of Muku's safety."

Ah Li stared at a certain point in the void and smiled slightly, showing two small white canine teeth, "Then just wait for the fish to take the bait."

Her sly, calculating smile moved Qianli brightly, as if she wanted to swallow the locked prey.

This expression was similar to a certain face in memory, and Ming Piao couldn't help but think of her mother.He lowered his head, clutching his forehead and said nostalgicly: "Hehe, you really look like your mother..."

It's a pity that the sky was jealous of the confidante, and their family suffered such an accident.

Hearing what he said, Ah Li couldn't help pointing his chin with his index finger, tilting his head and winking at him: "Hmm... maybe you have completely inherited your mother's beauty?"

The shameless speech immediately caused Ming Piao to cover her head with her hand, almost crushing Ah Li's cat ear headband.

When Ah Li couldn't help protesting, he sighed softly: "It's lucky to find that you are still here. Only our chief survived such a terrible disaster."

All of Ah Li's movements froze instantly at his words, her body seemed to be throbbing uncontrollably, she raised her head stiffly, grabbed his suit cuff and asked intermittently: "You, you said... what?"

Anyone else... survived?

Ming Piao didn't understand the reason for the change in her expression, paused for a moment, and repeated it with a little hesitation: "In that terrible disaster, only our chief survived besides you... What's wrong?"

The tea chestnut-haired girl in front of him shook her head stagnantly, without saying a word.It seemed as if he had closed the door to his heart to prevent the storm that was raised inside from harming the people outside.

Ming Piao couldn't pry open the door of her heart in a short time, and looked down at the dial of the watch, the pointer was approaching the working time.The criminal policeman had no choice but to give up pursuing her for the time being, and winked at Muling.

"I'm going out to work, how about discussing specific matters when I come back?"

However, he failed to get a response from the girl, Ming Piao sighed helplessly, turned around and went to the entrance to change his shoes, opened the door and left first.

Ah Li stayed on the sofa in the living room and sat down, falling into self-doubt about his past cognition.

In fact, the family had no plan to go to that damned place at the time, because they were desperately sent out by the police for help, and the message for help happened to be received by their father and mother.

It doesn't matter if we don't mention the later stories, but there can't be any survivors in that incident... because she clearly 'killed everyone' back then.Everything in sight is a desert, and all living and dead things are covered under the loess.That being the case... why did Uncle Mingpiao still say that there were people who survived at that time?

Could it be that he was lucky enough to be buried in the sand but still alive, and was discovered by the rescue team?

Ali tried to find various unrealistic reasons for this fact. During the brainstorming, a cup of steaming milk tea was placed in front of her. Ask her: "Are you okay?"

The wafting aroma of the milk tea soothed her nerves, only then did Ah Li realize that she had put on such an appearance in front of the child, she couldn't help shaking her head to regain her spirits, and she showed a bright smile on her face.

"It's just a little distressed because some things can't be figured out, it's okay."

Holding the mug and sipping sweet milk tea, the two of them nestled side by side on the sofa and played video games.Ming Piao went to work on time, and Ling's mother also went out. In order to better set a trap, Ah Li's actions were quite secretive to the outside world. defenseless' illusion.

If you have mastered her rules of action, then the "head-up" is likely to choose to come to the door when this is the case.

But she was still playing the electric switch here, and there was a crackling sound of pressing the handle in the air.Ah Li took the time to look at her handsome profile, and asked softly, "Mu, aren't you afraid? About being the bait."

This matter was kept secret from his wife, but Ming Piao, who was the party involved, decided to tell her about the matter. Unexpectedly, Mu Ling's psychological quality and performance were surprisingly calm.

"Don't be afraid, there is Sister Li, you are here." Mu put down the handle and smiled at her gently, "Besides, I also want to be a person with 'courage'."

The white light that came in through the window made the faces of the two girls on the sofa transparent and pure. Her smile was reflected in Ah Li’s eyes, and she suddenly felt that there was firmness hidden in her childish face that had not yet taken off. So much like his father.

Should it be said that she is his biological daughter...

"I want to be a policeman like my father in the future."

As if tossing out the unknown seed in his heart, Mulu silently hugged his knees and looked up at the empty, plain white ceiling above his head.

"Since Dad became a criminal policeman who specializes in handling homicide cases, he is often so busy that he has no time to accompany me and my mother. Even the appointment to go to the zoo together has been forgotten because of unexpected incidents. So I thought...if I became a policeman like my father, would I be able to understand his feelings a little more?"

Having said that, Muku embarrassedly scratched his cheek with his index finger, "Haha, am I being too arrogant when I say this? It's too early to think about it since I'm only 14 years old, and I don't know what I am Is it suitable to be a police officer..."

However, a warm touch covered the back of her hand resting on her knee at this moment.

"it's alright."

Ah Li said to her briskly, his eyes were illuminated by the light like a piece of tender and delicate honey.

"Did you know that kids in Kindergarten play a game called 'Footprints'?"

"This kind of game will lay a special colored clay board on the ground, and the adults will demonstrate various footprints on it, and then let the children follow the corresponding footprints with different parts of the feet until they reach end."

"Which part of the footprints are stepped on, and which direction the toes should face, are the keys for children to improve their judgment and exercise their physical coordination."

"When I was young, I especially liked playing this game behind my parents. Now that I think about it, maybe it's my subconscious instinct to follow my parents' backs."

Seeing that the topic attracted the attention of the black-haired girl, Ah Li tilted his head, smiling calmly and sweetly.

"My deceased biological parents and Ranpo's father were both very famous policemen decades ago, the kind that were so famous that they even became famous throughout the country. Because of them, Ranpo and I both wanted to enter the police school when we were young , The idea of ​​becoming a policeman following the old path of my parents. Although in the end, by accident, none of us can become a policeman, haha..."

Ah Li clasped the back of Muku's hand, and with the other hand, he touched the top of her head like a child who should still be pampered.

"So, it's normal for you to have such longings for your father. You are still young, no matter how many roads you try to walk, it doesn't matter, even if you feel inappropriate halfway through, just turn around when the time comes."

It took a long time until she finished this big conversation, the black-haired girl under Ah Li's palm couldn't say a word, she seemed to be immersed in this strange emotion and couldn't get away, it took her a while to recover, He stared blankly at Ash.

"Sister Li, you are so gentle..."

Ah Li, who received the little girl's evaluation, couldn't help but touched the tip of his nose triumphantly, and boasted unceremoniously: "Hey, people often say that about me."

That little expression didn't look like a mature adult at all, but rather playful like a girl of the same age as Muku.However, the tenderness and encouragement Muku got from her was not fake.

Mulu turned his attention back to the TV screen, took the opportunity to operate the handle, and couldn't hide the bright smile on his face.

"But I'm going to win this game!"

Ah Li quickly followed, and casually said harsh words: "You have a good idea! In my game field, no one can beat me except Luanbu!"

The two focused on pressing their own handles, concentrating on controlling their game characters.

And just as this warm moment continued to prolong, there was suddenly a slight sound of the lock cylinder being bounced from the entrance, and the door opened slightly with a gap.
