After the fake daughter's inner thoughts were revealed, the five brothers panicked

"He's a boy who lives on our street. He's small and thin and likes to sit on this chair and daydream when he has nothing to do." The bald uncle said slowly as he recalled.

"It's too dark here, and I can't see clearly. I can only see roughly and make a rough guess..."

Jiang Jinran smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, uncle. The information you provided is very useful."

After that, she couldn't help but ask, "By the way, uncle, do you know where this boy lives? I want to meet him."

"It's in the alley opposite, not far away." The uncle stretched out his hand and pointed in the opposite direction.

After saying goodbye to the bald uncle, Jiang Jinran went to the alley across the street alone.

From the bustling main street to the narrow and quiet alley, Jiang Jinran couldn't help but look carefully at everything in front of him.

The houses here are dilapidated, and even the outer walls have long since fallen off. Messy debris is piled up together, and the entire alley is filled with an old and decayed atmosphere.

It's like a ghetto.

It is hard to imagine that in the prosperous capital, there would be such a dirty, messy and dilapidated corner.

According to the description of the bald uncle, the boy should be a young student...

Today is not the weekend.

So he is probably still in school.

Even if I go to them now, there is a high probability that I will be disappointed.

There was still some time before school was over, so Jiang Jinran chose to wait by a small flower field in the alley.

During this time, no other pedestrians passed by in the alley.

It was so quiet that you could hear the birds flapping their wings.

Jiang Jinran was so bored that he almost fell asleep.

sudden--

A sound of footsteps, neither loud nor soft, came from not far away.

Jiang Jinran woke up instantly. She opened her eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.

A young man in a black hoodie suddenly came into view.

He was not tall, and even looked a little thin. He was dressed in all black, with the hood of his hoodie on top of his head, covering it tightly. He seemed to be wearing white wired headphones in his ears, and the white headphone wires and black clothes created a cold texture.

The whole person is cold and distant.

It's him.

Jiang Jinran felt that it was almost certain that this person was most likely the bystander who appeared in the grocery store surveillance video.

He seemed to have completely ignored Jiang Jinran, perhaps -

I noticed it, but I didn't take it seriously at all and pretended I didn't see it.

The young man walked past Jiang Jinran without even giving him a glance.

Jiang Jinran clenched his fist——

"classmate."

She shouted eagerly to prove her presence.

But even so, the boy did not stop for a moment. He walked straight forward, farther and farther.

I don't know if it's because I'm wearing headphones or if I'm deliberately ignoring it...

Jiang Jinran hurried forward, trotted up to the young man, and blocked his way.

The boy had to stop.

This time, he finally gave Jiang Jinran a look.

The boy's eyes were cold and deep, like the cold and silent surface of a lake.

"Classmate, I have something to talk to you about." Jiang Jinran deliberately raised her voice, pointed to her ears, and said with a smile, "Can you hear me?"

The boy stared at her face for a moment, his lips pressed into a straight line.

Both of them fell into silence.

After a moment, the boy took off the earphone from his left ear and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"what's up?"

Jiang Jinran pursed his lips and considered his words, "Actually, I came here to ask for your help."

"Can I take up a moment of your time?"

Her tone was earnest and her eyes were filled with serious sincerity.
