Cen Che took the box, and the little girl sat back on the chair and watched Cen Che open the box.
The little girl's eyes lit up. "What a beautiful crystal ball."
Cen Che played with the crystal ball in his hand. There seemed to be water in the crystal ball, and it flowed slowly with his movements.
Cen Che's pale face actually looked somewhat gentle at this moment.
The little girl had never seen her brother like this before.
"Brother, you like that sister, don't you?" The little girl looked away from the crystal ball and asked curiously.
"She's very interesting." Cen Che put the crystal ball back.
"Well, let's take sister home and let her accompany you. You won't be lonely then. When I'm not around, you can talk to sister and play games with her. You'll be very happy."
The little girl's innocent words didn't seem so innocent if one listened carefully.
She was going to kidnap him regardless of his wishes.
Cen Che looked at the Shi Sheng and said, "The car is here. I'll take you down."
"Aren't you going back with me, brother?" The little girl pouted. "I want to stay at your place today."
"No, your body can't take it." Cen Che refused.
The little girl felt wronged, but she still obeyed. She walked to Cen Che's side and carefully held the corner of his clothes.
"Can sister stay?" The little girl looked up and asked.
Cen Che thought for a bit. "I think … Yes."
"That's great. Brother, you must take sister back. I'm going to tell Daddy and Mommy."
The little girl and Cen Che disappeared from the restaurant. As soon as he left, the middle-aged man opposite the Ji couple got up and chased after them.
Cen Che sent the little girl to the car. The little girl leaned against the window and kept talking to him. Cen Che just listened and didn't respond.
Finally, the little girl finished. "Brother, you must take sister back. I'll bring Daddy and Mommy over."
Cen Che knocked on the window in front of him, and the driver immediately understood and reminded the little girl, "Miss, we're leaving."
"Okay." The little girl was a bit disappointed. She waved at Cen Che. "Goodbye, brother."
When the car disappeared into the traffic, Cen Che turned around and saw the middle-aged man standing behind him.
The middle-aged man was surprised by Cen Che's face. It was good-looking, but it didn't look like a living human face at all.
However, he had a human aura on him, which proved that he was alive. There was no spiritual energy around him either, so he wasn't a cultivator … Perhaps he was sick.
As the middle-aged man thought of this, he relaxed and smiled. "Little brother, I wonder if you can sell the thing in your hand to me?"
"No."
The middle-aged man frowned, obviously a little unhappy. "Little brother, that thing is useless to you. Instead, it will bring you trouble. If you sell it to me, I promise you won't lose out."
Cen Che lowered his eyebrows and turned to leave.
The middle-aged man's face darkened, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes. He didn't know what was good for him. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't look like a child from an ordinary family, he wouldn't have said so much to him.
"Little brother, are you really not selling?"
Cen Che took a few steps and disappeared into the night. He didn't respond to the middle-aged man at all. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. Stinking brat, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.
…
In the cafeteria, the fake Ji Tong noticed Shi Sheng and the others. She immediately sized up Shi Sheng and the Ji couple with a strange look.
If she was the real Ji Tong, then who was she?
Why did she become Ji Tong?
Where were her memories?
She didn't pay much attention to the details in the past, but now that she thought about it, she felt strange. She clearly didn't think she was particularly good-looking, but the people in school called her the school belle. Because she had always been the school belle in her memory, she just felt a little strange and didn't think much about it.
Her life had become another person's life?
The fake Ji Tong didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to tell anyone about it. She didn't even dare to tell Xie Wangqi.
"Xiao Tong, what's wrong?" Mother Ji saw her daughter looking in a direction. "Do you know any friends? Do you want to go and say hello? "
The fake Ji Tong's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly smiled. "No."
"You've been in a daze recently. If there's anything, you must tell us. Don't be like before and scare us to death." Mother Ji patted the fake Ji Tong's head, her face full of love.
The fake Ji Tong grabbed the hem of her clothes. If they knew that she wasn't the real Ji Tong, they wouldn't look at her like that.
Just as the fake Ji Tong was panicking, the middle-aged man came back. He politely said goodbye to the Ji couple. "Mr. Ji, we'll talk about this later. I have something urgent to do now."
"Okay. Master, you're busy." Father Ji quickly stood up to send the middle-aged man off.
The middle-aged man left the cafeteria with the young man. When he passed by Shi Sheng and the others, he deliberately glanced at them. When he didn't find anything wrong, he quickly left.
After the middle-aged man left, the fake Ji Tong asked the Ji couple to send her back to school with the excuse that she wasn't feeling well.
"Isn't that our school belle, Ji Tong?" Ji Man saw the fake Ji Tong and poked Shi Sheng's arm.
"Hmm?" Song Yuyao looked at Ji Man strangely.
Ji Man explained, "Our school belle is also called Ji Tong. She's the one who went missing a year ago. Didn't I tell you before?"
"Ah, isn't that the same name as Miss Ji?" Song Yuyao exclaimed. "What a coincidence."
Song Yuyao's voice wasn't soft. The fake Ji Tong and the others who were walking not far from them could hear them.
The fake Ji Tong immediately looked over. There was a hint of panic in her eyes.
"Dad, Mom, let's go." The fake Ji Tong blocked the Ji couple's line of sight and quickly walked out.
"That's strange. Why do I feel like she's a little afraid of you?" Ji Man continued to poke Shi Sheng.
How could she not be afraid? She was an imposter.
The fake Ji Tong and the Ji couple quickly left the cafeteria. Ji Man and Song Yuyao exchanged a few words and changed the topic to something that girls were interested in.
After dinner, Brother Song wanted to send Shi Sheng and Ji Man home. However, Ji Man still had an appointment and Shi Sheng refused, so Brother Song could only send his sister home.
After parting with Ji Man, Shi Sheng walked along the street.
It wasn't early at this time. The lanterns had just been lit. After the hustle and bustle of the day, the bustle of the night was descending.
Shi Sheng walked slowly. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer cars and the hustle and bustle died down.
She looked at the person not far away and stopped in her tracks. "Waiting for me?"
The boy walked out from the shadows. The street lamp cast a dim yellow light on his face. He didn't look so pale. His tall figure was cast on the ground, dragging a slender shadow.
He walked slowly to Shi Sheng and handed the box back.
Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you like it? Why are you giving it to me? "
Cen Che didn't explain. He just stuffed the box back to her.
