You are already in a different world,
You will only return to reality in two days,
Hearing this,
Tatara smiled,
His eyes curved into crescents. "Thieves won't patronize my house! I hope you don't dislike it. "
Reiko didn't know why,
She always felt that there were many shadows hidden under his smile.
At first, she thought that Tatara and the Five Tigers Retreat were a little like because of their appearance,
But after talking, she realized that Tatara was more determined and cheerful than the Five Tigers Retreat,
He was also more mature... so mature that he didn't seem like a child his age,
It made her heart ache for him!
"It's just a child.
Don't speak so maturely,
I still have to thank you for treating me to supper! It tastes really good. "Reiko shook the plum rice ball and strawberry milk in her hand,
This was what she had just bought at the convenience store next to the clinic... Tatara paid for it. And the tuna rice ball in Reiko's backpack was crying silently.
"It's good that you like it!" Tatara laughed again,
He was so innocent,
It was as if nothing could affect his mood. "Oh right,
I don't think you look like a resident nearby,
Is there something you need? "
"Hmm... I'm here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?" Tatara thought for a moment, "If the person you're looking for is a resident nearby, I'm very familiar with it and can help you find it."
"Uh,
Actually, I'm not too sure about this... "Reiko paused. The problem was that she didn't know the other party's identity now,
Whether it was a man or a woman, fat, short, tall, or thin, she didn't know,
Meeting his puzzled gaze,
Reiko smiled and said, "In short, it's quite complicated. If there's really a need, I'll tell you!"
"That's good. If there's anything I can do, sister, you must tell me." Seeing this, Tatara didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and nodded.
Seeing him put on the appearance of a little adult again, Reiko couldn't help but reach out and pull his furry head. How cute! She was already so old, yet she still called her sister. How considerate!
A certain Tai Dao, who had forced himself to listen to her thoughts, could only wonder how there could be such a shameless person. He hurriedly sealed his hearing and pretended to be dead.
Reiko had no idea that her thoughts had been exposed. She finished the rice ball in two bites, took off her backpack, rummaged through it, and took out a food bag. She quickly opened a tuna rice ball and handed it to Tatara. "Here, this is a gift in return."
Tatsuya was taken aback. The white, tender, and round rice balls in front of him were bigger than the cheap rice balls he bought from the convenience store. They were emitting a thick and alluring aroma, causing his stomach, which didn't have much income to begin with, to rumble.
"Hehe …"
Hearing his stomach growl, Reiko chuckled. "I made this myself. It tastes pretty good. Thank you for taking me in tonight."
Tatara looked up at her. Under the bright moonlight, the girl had a faint smile on her lips. Her beautiful amber eyes were filled with a gentle light when she looked at him, just like a mother looking at her child … extremely gentle.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Tatara's face was tinged with a light pink color. He smiled and took the rice ball. Instantly, the soft and sweet taste of tuna filled his mouth. He was a little stunned.
It might be a little unbelievable to say that he had eaten tuna before, but it was all from expired cans. He didn't have money in the past, but later, he used whatever money he had to buy his little love. In addition, Tokugawa Sen was a regular customer of expired lunchboxes in the supermarket. So … since his mother left, this was the first time he had eaten such fresh and delicious tuna rice balls made by someone else.
"How is it? Delicious, right?" Reiko smiled and handed him the strawberry milk. "Here, drink some milk. Don't choke."
Tatara blinked twice, took the milk, and smiled sweetly at Reiko. "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome …" Before she could finish her sentence, the Jin Jiang AI in the backpack suddenly made a sound. Reiko's expression changed. She took it out and saw that the red dot that had disappeared earlier had reappeared on the screen and was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
Reiko instinctively shielded Tatara behind her and looked sharply in that direction. Tatara was puzzled and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!" Reiko frowned and turned to ask him, "How far is your house?"
Tatara paused and pointed at an old building in the distance. "It's that building. The one on the innermost second floor."
This time, it was Reiko who was stunned … Tatara was pointing in the direction of the target.
Tatara peeked at her and saw that she did not show any disdain. She just frowned as if she was troubled by something.
"Sister … Hmm?!!"
Tatara looked at Reiko stiffly when he was suddenly picked up. His eyes were wide open, and his confused look was so adorable. Reiko's frown loosened and she smiled. "It's late. I'll carry you faster."
The soft and fragrant embrace made Duo Liang's ears burn, and even his pale cheeks blushed. He softly replied with an "en" and then lowered his head. Thus, he didn't notice Lingzi's vigilant gaze that was looking straight ahead, as well as her slightly tensed body.
Ten minutes later, when a figure rushed toward the two of them in the twilight, the Jin Jiang AI in Reiko's hands made an urgent notification. Reiko stopped in her tracks. She hugged the sleepy Tatara while looking at the AI. Fox's Assistance said … How do I catch him? While Reiko was hesitating and the person was getting closer, the AI in her hands suddenly issued a new warning.
[Warning! Warning! Target has entered the range of capture. Do you want to capture him?]
Reiko looked at the flashing screen and raised her eyebrows. So advanced?
"Yes."
[Number 52033 Jin Jiang AI has locked onto the target.]
[Target locked.]
[Beep … Target's status is abnormal. Unable to capture. Please confirm that the target can be captured.]
"Tsk! I knew it! "How could it be so successful? Lingzi curled her lips and stuffed the AI back into the side bag. Holding the katana tightly, she vigilantly looked at the "pig-headed" man who rushed into the dim street light from the night. "So, I'd better knock him out and then study him slowly!"
"Hmm?" Tatara was naturally sensitive. He suddenly felt a trace of abnormality and was about to turn around in a daze when a "little bastard" that was almost a howl directly woke him up.
Then, just as Reiko was about to kill the man, he hurriedly shouted, "Sister, don't hurt him. He's my father!"
Reiko was stunned. The man in a violent state rushed over and snatched Tatara away. He pushed Reiko to the side without any mercy.
Reiko staggered and almost fell. However, the culprit did not notice at all. He carried Tatara to the side and looked at his mummified head.
"What happened? What did you do? What happened? Huh? "
With his injured arms being held, Tatara endured the pain and laughed. "It's nothing. It's nothing. I accidentally knocked into a utility pole when I was running away. It's a bit bad."
Reiko had just straightened up when she heard Tatara lying through his teeth. She was speechless. Not to mention the injury on his forehead, his face was bruised all over, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. Which idiot would believe such a lie?
"What?! You knocked into a utility pole?! " The man raised his voice and roared in exasperation. He slapped him on the head and said, "Brat, are you stupid?!"
"…"
— — That's right. Maybe there were one or two idiots in this world.
"You're the idiot!" Reiko could not help but scold him. She walked over and slapped his hand away. "You're pressing on where he's injured!"
Tokugawa Sen was not a good-tempered person to begin with. The back of his hand hurt after being slapped, and he was about to yell back. When he heard what she said, he immediately looked at Tatara nervously and said in a slightly panicked tone, "Your hand is injured too? Is it serious? Wait, who are you? "
As if he had just reacted, Tokugawa Sen turned to look at Reiko warily. However, his swollen eyelids made his eyes look like slits. He did not look imposing at all.
Tatara immediately tugged at his shirt and introduced her with a smile. "Dad, this is Sister Reiko. She sent me to the clinic … She just came here and hasn't found a place to stay yet, so I invited her to our house." With that, Tatara looked at Reiko and winked at her secretly.
Reiko's mouth twitched slightly. This little rascal actually used her to change the topic. However, she did not expose him on account of his injury. Besides, didn't he say that there was no one at home? However, she did not expect this person to be Tatara's father. That was good too. This gave her a chance to get close to him.
Reiko waved at him casually. "Hello … Uncle, sorry to disturb you."
"Un … Uncle?!!" Tokugawa Sen's thin lips parted slightly. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted and scolded, "Hello my * ss!"
After Tokugawa Sen finished scolding Reiko, he turned around and knocked Tatara's head unceremoniously. He scolded angrily, "Hey, little bastard, are you stupid? Bringing a stranger home? What if she's a thief?! "
You're the stupid one, aren't you?
Reiko was speechless. This person really had a negative EQ. Who would call someone a thief in front of them?
Tatara was also speechless. The smile on his face froze for a moment. He looked nervously at Reiko. Seeing that her expression was slightly stiff but she was not angry, he heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and stuffed the windbreaker in his hand into his father's arms. "Dad, no thief will come to our house even if we sleep with the door open."
Tokugawa Sen choked. Thinking of their small, rundown apartment that had no value to thieves, his bruised face froze for a moment. Then he retorted, "What if she's a human trafficker? If a child like you is sold to the black market, they'll cut you open … Ah!!! "
With a loud bang, Tokugawa Sen fell to the ground, holding the bump on his head.
Reiko's mouth twitched. She retracted her fist and looked at the man coldly. "Uncle, who are you calling a human trafficker?! What nonsense are you spouting to a child? Who would do such a thing?! "
"… Pfft ~"
"Do you want to eat?" Reiko asked when she noticed the reminiscence and envy in his eyes.
The Five Tigers Retreat came back to his senses and shook his head frantically. "I don't! Hurry up and leave if you're done! "
As he spoke, he didn't dare to look at the scene that made him sad again and hurriedly walked out.
There were many people, and the Five Tigers Retreat was short and skinny. He was bumped into a few times by the crowd. Hearing his muffled groans, Reiko couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly chased after the Five Tigers Retreat and grabbed his hand. The Five Tigers Retreat almost instinctively shook off her hand with great force. Reiko was flung back a few steps, and the Five Tigers Retreat staggered and fell to the ground.
Many God's Inquisitors and Death God Fu had seen this scene. They all whispered to each other and talked about it while looking at Lingzi with a strange expression.
In this day and age, even if the Government of the Hour had strengthened their management, This Pill of Darkness still appeared occasionally. The Fu Mourning God was naturally in awe of the Inquisitors, and the Five Tigers Retreat was even more timid. Now that he had such a big reaction, it was hard to believe that there was nothing wrong with it.
The Five Tigers Retreat naturally noticed the reaction of the onlookers. His face turned pale, and he wanted to explain but didn't know how to. He was anxious and panicked. Yuanyuan's eyes were soon filled with tears. Yi Qi and Yi Zhen, who were passing by, wanted to ask about the situation, but they saw the Inquisitor, who had been shaken off, quickly run over to help the Five Tigers Retreat up. He frowned and looked worried, and it didn't seem like he was faking it. Only then did they stop and watch.
"Are you okay?" Reiko helped him up and bent over to look at him nervously.
"I'm fine." The Five Tigers Retreat knew that he had made a mistake. He lowered his head and apologized, "I didn't mean to …" Sorry.
"That's good." Seeing that he was indeed not injured, Reiko breathed a sigh of relief, but her face darkened.
Reiko pulled him to the side of the road to avoid the crowd with a sullen face. The Five Tigers Retreat thought that she was angry. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe loudly. The people who were peeking at them were even more vigilant. If she made any move to hurt anyone, she would definitely be beaten up.
Reiko's mind was focused on the Five Tigers Retreat. She didn't even notice that she had become the focus of attention. To everyone's surprise, Reiko didn't do anything to the Five Tigers Retreat. She didn't even scold him. After staring at his furry head for a moment, she sighed helplessly. She took his hand and stuffed a bunch of small coins into his hands.
"I still have to buy some things. Since you don't want to come with me, you can go shopping by yourself. Buy whatever you want. If it's not enough … forget it. Take more." Reiko said and stuffed another stack of small coins into his hands.
The Five Tigers Retreat held the money and tensed up. Fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. Is she angry that she doesn't want me anymore?
When she didn't hear his answer, Reiko added, "Be careful. Don't fall again. Do you understand?"
"You, I … I understand." He stopped abruptly. His heart ached when he saw her frown. He turned and left.
