Little Wolf Cub of the Ginger Demon King

Bei Xiaowu was wandering in the alleys with his schoolbag on his back, feeling like he didn't want to go home.Hidden in his school bag is his final report card, which is so bad that he failed one class.

The last time his grade was tenth in the second grade class.

Although the teachers and classmates all knew that something big happened in his family recently, they didn't blame him or sigh, and there was a lot of comfort, but Bei Xiaowu had a lump in his chest, and he couldn't let it go.

An unprecedented sense of terror spread all over his body, not because of this result, but because he suddenly seemed to have no interest in studying.As soon as I open the book, I start thinking wildly, and I can't concentrate at all.

Chi Xiaohong finished cooking, and went to feed Grandma You first.Mrs. You didn't see her grandson, so she kept her mouth shut and refused to eat.

Xue Man persuaded Mrs. You, but Mrs. You blinked stubbornly.

Jiang Lai saw it and had no choice but to go out to find Bei Xiaowu.

The two met at the entrance of the alley.Bei Xiaowu was carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder, and was kicking a stone violently with his foot.

"Why did I come back, I was waiting for you to eat." Jiang Lai complained, turned around and walked back.

Bei Xiaowu stood still, and another small stone was rubbed|rubbed back, forth, left, and right under his feet.

"Is something wrong?" Jiang Lai turned around and came back again, his tone was more patient, "Did you fail the exam?"

Bei Xiaowu poked his neck and nodded slightly, "It's very bad."

Jiang Lai laughed loudly, and put his arm on Bei Xiaowu's shoulder, "What are you doing, let's go home, and I will give you a big surprise after dinner."

"I'm afraid grandma will ask about the grades." Bei Xiaowu hesitated.

"Why does she ask? She can't even speak, so you can pretend to be deaf and dumb." Jiang Lai blinked at Bei Xiaowu with a smirk, half of the dark clouds above Bei Xiaowu's head dispersed.

Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai went home together, washed their hands and ate.Grandma You blinked her eyes, and Bei Xiaowu kept pretending to be confused.

"Grandma wants to eat this from us? No, it's too spicy, you can't eat it. This? This is not good either, you'd better have porridge at ease." Jiang Lai helped Bei Xiaowu to be sloppy.

In fact, everyone in the family knows that Bei Xiaowu has always had excellent academic performance, and it doesn't mean anything to fail a test, let alone such a big incident in the family.Mrs. You blinked persistently for a while, and stopped asking questions after drinking half a bowl of porridge.

After dinner, Bei Xiaowu went back to his room as if running away, and Jiang Lai knocked on the door not long after.

Jiang Lai held the duvet in his arms, with a faint fragrance of laundry detergent, and the color of the quilt looked familiar.

"Why did this quilt go to your place?" Bei Xiaowu faintly guessed something, retreated into the chair and sat still.

"Hasn't been sleeping well lately?" Jiang Lai helped Bei Xiaowu spread the quilt in his hand, smiling, "Try changing the quilt for you."

"Building this bed, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well." Now that Jiang Lai had noticed, Bei Xiaowu didn't intend to hide it.

"Children still play with insomnia like us adults, are you ashamed? Although my brother really wants to put the baby to sleep, we adults will inevitably have some nocturnal activities at night..."

Halfway through the conversation, Jiang Lai realized that it was easy to have ambiguity, so he quickly corrected, "Reading books, thinking about life and so on. So, I think you still have to sleep well by yourself."

The corners of Bei Xiaowu's mouth curled up, and he turned and opened his schoolbag in disdain. When he saw the report card, he quickly opened it again, and casually picked out a book to read.

"Isn't this quilt your father's? You cover him to sleep well at night, just like your father gently coaxing you to sleep." Jiang Lai felt that his idea was so ingenious, and couldn't help but feel proud.

"My father never coaxes me to sleep, and I'm going to be sixteen soon, so I don't need coaxing." Bei Xiaowu still didn't turn around, the pages of the book were turning in his hands.

"Oh, that's all right, that's pretty much what it means. In short, change the quilt, sleep well, don't think about it, and say what's on your mind at any time." Jiang Lai was ready to go out after being splashed with cold water by the children.

When passing by, Bei Xiaowu stretched out his arms to stop Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai suddenly stopped in his tracks, expecting Bei Xiaowu to express his gratitude.

However, Bei Xiaowu didn't mention anything about the quilt. Instead, he asked him, "I have something on my mind, can I chat with you?"

Jiang Lai secretly rolled his eyes, and smiled again, showing the appearance of a gentle and kind brother, "Of course."

"Sit down." Bei Xiaowu pushed Jiang Lai back with his arm.

Jiang Lai sat in the chair by the window.Bei Xiaowu got up and sat on the back chair, and the two faced each other with a distance of more than one meter.

"Tell me, what is locked in the drawer in my dad's office?"

Bei Xiaowu suddenly brought the topic up to this point, and Jiang Lai was defenseless.Like a spark falling into dry grass and dry wood, his heart was suddenly ablaze.

It turned out that this kid not only wanted to prove that his father was not driving under the influence of alcohol, but also proved his innocence. In other words, he suspected that someone had deliberately murdered Bei Tiangui.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Lai asked.

Bei Xiaowu: "..."

"What do you suspect?" Jiang Lai asked again.

Bei Xiaowu shook his head, half-closed his eyes, as if he was thinking seriously or dreaming a dream that he could never wake up from.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Jiang Lai was eager to know Bei Xiaowu's thoughts.

"I want to know who Dad saw last, what he did, and what was in that locked drawer."

"That's all?" Jiang Lai asked.

"That's all."

Jiang Lai stretched his legs, silently raised his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze, and after a long time he said: "Okay, I will help you with this. Give me the bunch of keys."

Jiang Lai's reaction made Bei Xiaowu feel a little overwhelmed, so he confirmed with Jiang Lai again, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Lai nodded slightly, "Understood, according to your thinking, Uncle Tiangui's car accident is really bizarre. So, in order to stop you from thinking about these messy things, I would like to help you see what is in that drawer."

"Are you also a little suspicious?" Bei Xiaowu asked.

Jiang Lai didn't open his mouth, but the balance in his heart undoubtedly favored Bei Xiaowu.

That night Jiang Lai went to the community self-study room, pretending to read a book but actually waiting for Toad.

The answer that Bei Xiaowu wants can only be found by Toad, because Jiang Lai had seen Toad in the newcomer training team of Guihe Auto Repair Factory that day.

Jiang Lai performed the annoying math problems over and over again, Bai Xue and Xu Feifei across the table could see that Jiang Lai was impatient.

"This problem is solved in this way." Xu Feifei pushed the same math exercise book in front of Jiang Lai, and poked the problem-solving steps written by her with the tip of a pen.

Jiang Lai pursed his lips and pulled the exercise book, "Thank you."

Just as Jiang Lai was about to force himself to concentrate, a big hand reached out in front of him and took away Xu Feifei's exercise book.

There are a lot of test papers that have been done in the exercise book, and they are scattered all over the floor.

Xu Feifei immediately stood up annoyed, but the owner of that big hand was even more proud. She kicked the paper that fell on the floor and said, "Ah, I don't know how to do this kind of topic, so why don't you tell me about it?"

Jiang Lai raised his head irritably, and saw that it was Huang|Mao, he didn't care about other things, so he hurriedly looked for the shadow of Toad.

Xu Feifei bent down to pick up the test paper, and when she saw a big dirty footprint on the paper, she became angry, gritted her teeth and stomped on Huangmao.

The self-study room suddenly became noisy, Huang Mao yelled and threw Xu Feifei's exercise book far away.

The administrator of the self-study room is impatient to maintain order. The self-study room is open to the public. Anyone has the right to come. Although a kid like Huang Mao is obviously not here to study, as long as he doesn't go too far, the administrator will turn a blind eye. When not seen.

"No, let's go out and talk." Jiang Lai looked around and didn't see Toad, so he pushed the yellow hair out.

Huang Mao was somewhat jealous of Jiang Lai, although it was embarrassing to be stepped on by a little girl, but he still went out with Jiang Lai.

In the yard, Jiang Lai asked Huang Mao: "Where is Toad? I need him urgently."

Huang Mao let out his breath, "Hmph, aren't you good brothers? Why don't you even have a phone call?"

"I really have something to do, then give me his call." Jiang Lai had no intention of talking nonsense to him.

Huang Mao turned his head and looked into the study room from the window. Xu Feifei was furiously wiping the dirty shoe prints on the test paper with an eraser.The yellow-haired ruffian smirked, "Okay, then let's change."

"In exchange for what?" Jiang Lai asked.

"I'll tell you Toad's phone number, and you also tell me that girl's phone number." Huang Mao raised his neck and looked elsewhere.

"Who? Xu Feifei, the girl with the ponytail?" Jiang Lai had long felt that this yellow hair was interesting to Xu Feifei.

"No," Huang Mao looked away impatiently, "the one next to her."

Jiang Lai pouted, "Okay, you give me Toad's phone number first, and I'll get the girl's phone number for you later."

"You don't?" Huangmao asked.

Jiang Lai shrugged, deliberately sour, "We meet every day, what phone call do you want?"

Huang Mao was really sour, he reluctantly took out his mobile phone and gave Jiang Lai the number of Toad.

Jiang Lai went back to the self-study room to collect his schoolbag, his expression was completely different from when he was sitting at the desk holding back a math problem.Xu Feifei asked him if he wanted the exercise book, and Jiang Lai waved his hands again and again and went out.

Toad is finishing his auto repair training in Guihe, and is riding his motorcycle back.Jiang Lai made an appointment with him at the small square at the entrance of the alley.

Toad came, riding a cool little motorcycle, Jiang Lai secretly whistled for the car in his heart, and waved to say hello.

"What's the matter bro?"

"Please do something?" Jiang Lai reached out and punched Toad.

……

That night, Bei Xiaowu wanted to try to sleep alone.Now that Jiang Lai saw through it, he would be ashamed to sleep in other people's house or sleep on the sofa with grandma.

He turned off the light and went to bed in the dark, and pulled up the quilt left by Bei Tiangui little by little, directly covering his head.

Originally, he thought he would continue to struggle against insomnia, but he didn't expect the drowsiness to strike very suddenly.Perhaps it was the smell of engine oil that seemed to be always wrapped in the quilt that seemed to be washed clean, which made Bei Xiaowu feel at ease.

He was in a daze as if he had returned to his childhood, falling asleep at the table, Bei Tiangui gently carried him back to the bed, and occasionally sat beside him and held his hand to secretly compare his size.

In fact, you still need someone to put you to sleep.Bei Xiaowu said this to himself before falling asleep completely.
