Chapter 95 What are you looking at me for?
When Wen Zhu heard the familiar voice, his tense nerves slowly relaxed.
Qian Jingsheng had already walked in front of her. Wen Zhu looked up and asked curiously, "Brother Qian, you scared me to death. I thought you were a bad guy. Why are you not sleeping at night and walking here alone?"
Qian Jingsheng slowed down his pace and waited for Wen Zhu to catch up before turning on the flashlight again. The two of them walked towards home together.
Hearing Wen Zhu's curiosity, he thought for a moment and answered.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
After Qian Jingsheng finished speaking, he looked down at Wen Zhu and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
What Wen Zhu didn't know was that he wasn't out for a walk because he couldn't sleep. He had been strolling back and forth on this road since dinner.
Because when Qian Xusen came back, Wen Zhu hadn't come back yet. He said that she might have something to do at school and wouldn't go home if it was too late.
When Qian Jingsheng heard him say that, and then looked at the boy's face, which looked like his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, he knew that something unpleasant must have happened between him and Wen Zhu. Usually, this boy would run behind Wen Zhu.
It's a bit unusual that we're not together today.
But he was stubborn and refused to say anything no matter what you asked. When he got home, he just buried his head in doing his homework without saying a word, and was so hardworking that he seemed like a different person.
He thought that the boy's message was "If it's too late, he may not go home." This means that Wen Zhu may still come back, but it is not certain for the time being, so he is always uneasy.
Thinking about the last time when she was blocked by human traffickers, she felt even more upset.
Qian Xusen was doing his homework, looking up at the courtyard gate from time to time. Finally, he couldn't help but say to Qian Jingsheng, "Brother, why don't you go for a walk? Just follow the way we go to school."
Qian Jingsheng knew that his younger brother was also worried about Wen Zhu, but he was just being stubborn and refused to admit it. So he nodded and went out alone.
"Captain Qian, where are you going? Do you want me to follow you?"
Qian Jingsheng replied, "No, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll just take a walk around the area to help digest the food."
Wen Zhu's father was called away by someone from the factory during the day, saying that they had something urgent to discuss with him.
After Jiang Qin returned from her stall, she heard her daughter might not be home that night, and she was just as worried. A mother always thinks a lot about her children. So she went to wait at the school gate. But by 8:30, no one showed up.
Then I met Qian Jingsheng who was "taking a walk".
"Aunt Jiang, you should go back and eat first. It's so late, Wen Zhu may not come home. Besides, if she comes back and sees that you haven't eaten well, she will definitely feel bad."
Although Jiang Qin knew that her daughter would scold her for not eating well, her daughter had encountered bad people before, so she always felt that no matter how careful she was, it was never too much.
"But I'm worried that Xiaozhu will come out too late. It's dark and the road is unsafe. She won't starve if she skips a meal. I'll wait a little longer. It's okay. It's half past nine at the latest. Everyone who needs to leave the school will have left. If she hasn't come out by half past nine, it means she won't go home. I'll go back then."
Qian Jingsheng then suggested, "Auntie, how about this? I need to take a walk for exercise anyway. If you're really worried, I'll just walk back and forth along the road she's on, and you go back first. If she comes out, I'll definitely bring her home safely. What do you think?"
Jiang Qin was indeed so hungry that she had a little hypoglycemia and felt a little dizzy. She was afraid that her daughter would worry again if she saw it, so she agreed to go home for dinner first.
That's why Wen Zhu was able to meet Qian Jingsheng who was coming towards him.
It was too quiet, Wen Zhu tried to find something to say.
"It's so late, you'd better go to bed early. If you get enough rest, you'll recover faster. You can't just take advantage of your youth and good health and do something stupid, okay?"
Wen Zhu habitually used the tone of a master and spoke in an old-fashioned manner.
But think about it, he used to train every day, and now he can go so long without exercise, just taking a walk, which is already very much in line with the doctor's advice. So he softened his tone and said.
"Actually, I'm not being mean to you. What I mean is that exercise should be done in moderation. Otherwise, too much is as bad as too little."
Qian Jingsheng nodded, then realized it was dark and she might not be able to see him, so he said, "I'll remember. I'll go to bed right away when I get home."
Wen Zhu couldn't blame such an obedient patient at all.
There is actually another reason why she talks so much and speaks so loudly.
She had money of unknown origin in her bag, and when she faced Qian Jingsheng, a soldier, she subconsciously felt guilty. She was afraid that his strong sense of justice would discover her and report her. What if something happened to her, and the whole family would just play Candy Crush again, just like the original plan? Then she would be the culprit.
Fortunately, talking can divert her attention.
Qian Jingsheng didn't notice her bag and didn't ask anything.
The conversation ended, leaving only the sound of their footsteps. There was a moment of silence.
"Are you going to come back this late every day from now on?"
Qian Jingsheng suddenly asked.
"What?"
Wen Zhu was lost in thought and didn't hear clearly, so Qian Jingsheng asked again, "Will you come back this late every night from now on?"
Wen Zhu: "No, it's just that I didn't check the time today and stayed out too late, otherwise I wouldn't be back so late. At most, it will only be two or three days. We are about to go to the competition, and we will go home at normal times in the evening."
Qian Jingsheng walked for a while and looked at Wen Zhu frequently.
Wen Zhu thought he was looking at her bag and her eyes jumped with fear. Could he have noticed?
You can't feel guilty. What you pick up is yours. Giving it to the heroine is also giving it to her.
After comforting herself in her heart, she looked up at Qian Jingsheng and thought: If he asks, how should I argue?
"Brother Qian, why are you looking at me like that?"
Qian Jingsheng came closer and stretched out his hand.
Wen Zhu was so scared that he ran away two steps.
Qian Jingsheng was stunned. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else. I just saw you holding this big rock and wanted you to throw it away. Don't be afraid."
I'll be there to protect you, so you don't have to be so nervous all the time.
Wen Zhu finally realized that he had thought he was a bad guy and had been holding the stone in his hand. Later, because he was nervous and preoccupied with other things, he did not let go.
After hearing what he said, he felt a little embarrassed and threw the stone to the side of the road.
"I'm sorry, I-I had a stress reaction. It's not that I have a problem with you."
She dodged so quickly just now, it was completely a conditioned reflex.
"I'm sorry, last time, it's my fault that I didn't protect you well."
Qian Jingsheng's sudden apology left Wen Zhu somewhat bewildered. Why had he apologized? When was the last time?
But since he misunderstood, I won't explain it, lest it only makes things worse.
As long as he's not interested in his bag.
"It's okay, I don't blame you."
Neither of them spoke again afterward.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw Jiang Qin waiting at the gate and Jiang Jianye who had just returned home from evening study.
There was also Qian Xusen who was clinging to the wall with his head down.
Wen Zhu knew that his family was worried about him, so he walked towards his mother and hugged her.
"Mom, it's so late, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed next time."
"If you don't come back, Mom can't sleep."
Wen Zhu went home with his mother and third brother. After taking two steps, he said to Qian Jingsheng, "Thank you for sending me back. Go to bed early."
"Thank you, Captain Qian, for your trouble."
Qian Jingsheng nodded and went home.
"Qian Xusen, remember to wait for me tomorrow."
Qian Xusen was originally squatting in the corner of the next yard, sulking. When he heard Wen Zhu calling him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"I see. You're so nagging. I'm not the type to stay in bed all day!"
