"No money? The wallet must have been stolen by a thief, right? " Sun Mo analyzed and walked over. He passed the paper bag in his hand to the girl. "There are osmanthus cakes inside. Take them."
Lu Zhiruo raised her head and threw a quick glance at Sun Mo. After that, she evaded his gaze. The girl didn't take it, and her body also shrank back a little.
"I'm not a bad person!"
Sun Mo slowed down his tone.
"Father said that all bad people say that."
Lu Zhiruo mumbled and pretended to be an ostrich, pretending not to have heard it.
"If you don't dare to talk to strangers, why did you leave home alone?"
Sun Mo tried to trick Lu Zhiruo. This girl's appearance really didn't bring shame to her surname. She was as timid as a newborn deer.
Lu Zhiruo shut her mouth and didn't say anything. Her entire head was almost buried in her baggage.
Sun Mo shook his head and turned to leave.
Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, Lu Zhiruo quickly raised her head and took a glance. After that, she saw the paper bag at the side. She hesitated for a few minutes before she stretched out her index finger and touched it.
It was the fragrance of osmanthus cake!
"He doesn't look like a bad guy. Do you want some?"
Lu Zhiruo picked up the paper bag but didn't take a bite. She put it down again. "It's better not to. He must be hiding in a certain corner, waiting for me to take the bait!"
At the thought of this, Lu Zhiruo hugged her bag tightly and stood up. She tiptoed and looked around until she didn't see anything. She then sat back down.
"Should I eat it or not?"
Lu Zhiruo felt conflicted.
Rumble!
Her stomach started to growl again. Ever since she had lost her purse yesterday morning, Lu Zhiruo had been waiting here for one day and one night. She wanted to catch the thief, but her efforts were in vain.
"I'll just take one bite. Even if there's a knockout drug, it shouldn't be enough to knock me out, right?"
Lu Zhiruo couldn't stand the torture of hunger. Just when she opened the package and took a bite of an osmanthus cake, her ears pricked up like a little deer that heard a ferocious beast approaching.
The footsteps that he had heard just now had returned.
"Oh no, I fell into their trap!"
Lu Zhiruo's little face was filled with worry. She wanted to escape, but what if the thief happened to pass by during this period of time? Didn't he miss it?
Before the girl could decide, Sun Mo was already standing before her.
"Hot buns that just came out of the drawer. Do you want to try one?"
Sun Mo casually took a bun from the stall beside him and took a bite.
Lu Zhiruo glanced at the buns on her shoulder pole and then looked toward Sun Mo. This was the first time she seriously surveyed him.
He was a young man with white teeth and a gentle smile. His black eyes were filled with worry and blame.
When she saw his gaze landing on her hand, Lu Zhiruo blushed and hurriedly hid the osmanthus cake behind her.
"Are you going to eat it or not?"
The vendor was unhappy. If it wasn't for the fact that Sun Mo had given him a lot of money, he wouldn't have bothered to make this trip.
Pa!
Lu Zhiruo quickly stretched out her hand and took a bun. She thought about it and took another one. After that, she suddenly bowed toward Sun Mo.
"Give me ten more buns!" Sun Mo instructed. "By the way, I'm a teacher from the Central Province Academy."
Hearing this, Lu Zhiruo's big eyes brightened, and her wariness toward Sun Mo instantly lessened by a lot.
"Why are you sitting here alone?"
Sun Mo stood under the eaves and stared at the dark clouds in the sky.
Drip! Drip!
The rainwater hit the oil-paper umbrella, emitting a dull sound.
"I... I'm catching a thief."
After eating the hot buns, Lu Zhiruo's hostility toward Sun Mo increased.
"It's raining and there are so few people on the streets. The difficulty of stealing will increase, and thieves will lie at home and sleep in."
Sun Mo really wanted to say, 'Given your physique, even if a thief appears, you won't be able to catch him.'
Strength: 3, you really don't have the strength to truss a chicken.
Intellect: 5, your brain is still alright, but why do you appear so stupid?
Agility: 3, is it because of your big breasts giving you a heavy burden?
Endurance: 3, continue to train, weakling!
...
Looking at Lu Zhiruo's data, Sun Mo couldn't help but glance toward her chest. After that, he was shocked. The girl had been hugging a small bag, blocking her chest. Only now did Sun Mo discover that they were shockingly big. Did she stuff two papayas in her clothes?
'Note: Big breasts are rare in the world. Touching them will definitely increase your luck.'
'Potential value: Extremely low.'
"System, is there anything with an even lower potential value than this?"
Sun Mo was speechless. Even Qi Shengjia, who had low potential, could spit out a mouthful of saliva in disdain when standing in front of this big-breasted girl.
"You already have such big breasts, why do you still need potential value?"
The system counter-asked.
Sun Mo was stunned by the question. After that, he deeply agreed with it. Breasts were strength, the heavens, and justice. If breasts couldn't gather, how could they gather the hearts of people?
"That's right!"
Lu Zhiruo sighed and looked toward the rainy sky. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to find her purse. At the thought of this, her expression turned sad. "That was left behind by my mother!"
The girl's shoulders trembled and she started sobbing.
Sun Mo couldn't bear to see this. He consoled, "Maybe the thief who stole from you is a hardworking person and can't bear to rest even when it's raining."
"Yes, yes, there's this possibility!"
Lu Zhiruo immediately felt happy and hurriedly nodded.
"..."
Sun Mo mentally mused. (With your intelligence, there's really no one else. Can you not treat the consolation words of others so seriously?)
Lu Zhiruo was afraid of strangers, timid, and cautious. However, once she started talking, she wouldn't have her guard up at all. Sun Mo didn't even try to get information out of her. It was just a simple conversation, but Lu Zhiruo had already said a lot.
"I came to Jinling to learn from a famous teacher, but he didn't want me!"
When Lu Zhiruo spoke of her experiences during this period of time, she couldn't help but cry.
"With your aptitude, how blind would they be to accept you?"
Sun Mo shook his head. Did she really think that she could do whatever she wanted just because she had big breasts?
The rain continued to fall, showing no signs of clearing up.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Wasting time like this wasn't going to work either.
"Waiting for the thief."
Lu Zhiruo's reply was filled with stubbornness. Moreover, without money, it would be hard for her to do anything.
"You should go home early."
Sun Mo took out the money pouch and stuffed it into Lu Zhiruo's hands. If they continued to stay here, they might even lose their lives.
"I can't accept this!"
Lu Zhiruo carried her bag and chased after them, wanting to stuff the money pouch to Sun Mo.
"Just take it that I'm borrowing it from you."
Sun Mo waved his hands impatiently.
"No way. Father has said before that I shouldn't accept an undeserved reward. Besides, I've already eaten your osmanthus cake and hot buns."
Lu Zhiruo was very stubborn. She carried her bag and wanted to stuff the money into Sun Mo's hands a few times. After one attempt, she suddenly stood still and called out.
"It's him!"
Although this sentence had no head or tail, given Sun Mo's intelligence, he immediately understood that Lu Zhiruo was talking about that thief. Hence, he immediately followed the girl's gaze and looked over.
A sloppy-looking young man was holding an oil-paper umbrella and hanging behind an auntie.
Sun Mo was speechless. (You're really hardworking, not resting even when it's raining!)
"Don't run, return my money!"
Lu Zhiruo shouted loudly.
"Could this be 'big breasts but no brains'?"
Sun Mo actually wanted to remind Lu Zhiruo not to alert the thief, but it was a pity that it was too late. Luckily, his reaction was fast enough and he had already darted out. At the same time, he pulled out his wooden blade and tossed it out.
The young man was a habitual offender. When he heard this shout, he immediately dashed toward the nearest alley. However, he hadn't run for a few steps when the sound of wind breaking rang out. After that, a wooden blade was shot at the back of his neck.
Pak!
The young man staggered from the impact and fell head-first onto the ground.
Water splattered everywhere.
...
After Sun Mo raided the thief's house, he called for constables to clean up the mess.
One couldn't help but say that things were much smoother with the title of a teacher. Sun Mo was very satisfied when he saw the constables, who had broken the thief's leg, treating him with respect.
Lu Zhiruo, who was dressed in green hemp clothes, hugged her bag and followed behind Sun Mo like a little tail. As she had found all the money she had lost, she happily hummed a little tune.
The school gate was in sight. Sun Mo turned his head.
Lu Zhiruo's neck shrank back and she held her bag tightly with both hands. Her ears also pricked up, like a little deer that was listening to the wind and the grass. As long as something was amiss, she would immediately escape.
"How long are you going to follow me?"
Sun Mo asked.
Lu Zhiruo avoided Sun Mo's gaze and mumbled softly, "I... I don't know."
Sun Mo didn't quite understand Lu Zhiruo's mentality.
"That... that Teacher Sun, you're so impressive. How did you know that the thief would return?"
Lu Zhiruo blinked her eyes and looked at Sun Mo with an admiring expression.
"How would I know? I'm just casually saying it to console you."
Looking at the young girl's gaze, Sun Mo truly couldn't speak the truth. Being admired by such a beautiful young girl, one with a papaya chest, Sun Mo also felt a little proud.
"This is called deduction!"
Sun Mo fabricated.
"So impressive!"
Lu Zhiruo's eyes were bright like the stars in the night sky.
Ding!
+ 5 favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo.
Prestige connection with Lu Zhiruo initiated. Neutral.
"It can't be, right? You believe this too? "
Sun Mo was speechless. Looking at the girl's innocent face, he suddenly felt that he mustn't ignore her like this. Otherwise, she would definitely be deceived.
When they entered the school gate, Mister Qin, who was guarding the gate, stretched his head out from the window.
"Teacher Sun, this is..."
Mister Qin looked at the green-clothed girl's attire. Clearly, she wasn't a student of the school.
"My relative."
Sun Mo handed over a packet of dry tobacco leaves. He had bought this long ago. Although the authority of a gate guard was very small and was at the bottom of the school, there would always be times when it was convenient to have a good relationship with them. Moreover, a packet of dry tobacco leaves only cost over 20 coins.
"Oh, is he here to seek shelter from you? Or is he here to participate in the student recruitment meet? "
A smile immediately appeared on Mister Qin's face. It was no wonder that he could live off Headmaster An. He really knew how to conduct himself. Out of so many intern teachers, he was the first one to give a gift to a gate guard like him.
After entering the school, Lu Zhiruo was extremely flustered when she saw the passing students. She immediately took a few steps forward and followed Sun Mo closely. The small bag in her arms was almost strangled to death because she was hugging it too tightly.
Intern teachers didn't have an office. Therefore, Sun Mo led Lu Zhiruo back to the dorm.
"That's my bed, feel free to sit!"
Sun Mo poured a cup of water.
"En!"
Lu Zhiruo nodded. However, because her clothes were wet from the rain, she was worried that she would dirty the bedding. Therefore, she placed the small bag at the side of the bed and sat on it.
She closed her legs and placed her hands on her knees. She was very obedient!
