In the previous two times of time travel, Xie Mi would know in advance the purpose of Xu Shuangrong's time travel from the conversation between Xu Shuangrong and the system, and then try to stop him.
But this time, she knew nothing.
He traveled through here in a daze while drunk, not knowing Xu Shuangrong's plan for this trip or where she was. This was undoubtedly the worst situation.
So the first thing Xie Mi had to do was to find Xu Shuangrong first.
It was at that time that she saw Shen Yuqing falling on the playground.
The young man who should have secured first place was maliciously tripped by his opponent, and the cheers in the stands instantly turned into sighs.
Boys of this age will more or less have a competitive spirit and self-esteem, and no one can be completely indifferent, but he just took a look and got up and continued running.
The mood is dull, like a pool of stagnant water without ripples.
For some unknown reason, Xie Mi stopped looking for Xu Shuangrong and observed the boy's expression in the stands.
She didn't understand adolescent psychology, but she had a strong feeling that something was wrong with him.
So she went back to her old job of spying.
She discovered this while spying on Chen Yuqing this afternoon.
Chen Yuqing has a good relationship with people and gets along well with his friends. When he meets classmates he knows on the campus, they will greet him and he will respond calmly with a smile.
No matter who looks at him, he seems to be doing well.
But if you cover the corners of his smiling mouth, you will find that there is no smile in his eyes.
Socializing is like completing a task. After greeting friends with a smile, the smile will disappear, eyes will be lowered, and emotions will become stagnant again.
Strange, so strange.
It was obviously not like this the last time I came. At least 12-year-old Xiao Shen still had light in his eyes.
But before he had time to think too much, Xie Mi was caught by the overly perceptive high school student Xiao Shen, and then came to the noodle shop to eat noodles.
Xie Mi was slurping noodles, but his eyes were always observing Xiao Shen who was sitting opposite him through the two black holes.
"Old...Little...Zhongchen, how have you been these past few years?"
Chen Yuqing paused for a moment with his chopsticks in his hand, as if he was a little puzzled by the title "Chen, the youngest among the elders".
But when he looked into the pair of wise eyes behind the black hole, he swallowed his question back.
"I'm doing pretty well, Sixth Sister."
"How are you getting along with your friends?"
“We get along very well.”
"So how are your grades? Are you feeling any pressure from studying?"
“I can consistently rank in the top three in my grade.”
"Hey! That's good, very good!"
Xie Mi smiled happily, but his brain started working at high speed, thinking eight hundred times a second.
Now that these are out of the way, it’s time to turn to the family aspect.
I still remember when 12-year-old Xiao Shen was robbed by bandits, the bandits said:
'Is your father ignoring you because you are not smart?'
Here comes the key word.
'Dad' 'don't care'.
As a character who did not have a name in the original text, Chen Yuqing's family background remained blank to her.
She could only vaguely judge Chen Yuqing's family background based on her previous experience.
On the night when 8-year-old Shen Yuqing was rescued and returned to the police station, she and Shen Yuqing slept on the chairs in the police station all night, but no one came to pick him up until dawn the next day.
The 12-year-old Shen Yuqing was bullied by his classmates, so he planned to go hiking in the suburbs far away from the city at midnight to watch the meteor shower.
How could any parent allow a 12-year-old to run so far alone at night?
Thinking about it this way, he may have never received the love of his parents.
"Sixth sister."
The boy's voice interrupted my thoughts.
She raised her head and met those clear and smiling eyes.
"I'm fine."
Xie Mi's defense was broken in an instant.
What a sensitive child!
He had sensed her concern before she had even said anything.
High sensitivity, consideration for others, and zero emotional fluctuations. That’s it, the buffs are maxed out.
"You...ah, I...ah...never mind, you..."
Xie Mi raised his hand and put it down again, raised it and put it down again, and finally pressed it solemnly on Shen Yuqing's shoulder.
“Perhaps, have you heard of Ziweixing?”
"...Purple Star?" Chen Yuqing was stunned. He still found it difficult to keep up with the speed at which Xie Mi changed the subject.
"Yes, Ziwei Star, also called Emperor Star."
"I have observed the celestial phenomena and can tell at a glance that you are the Purple Star that will fall from the sky in 2024. As long as you can hold on until then, you will make a fortune!"
Chen Yuqing was stunned by the coaxing, "But, I don't know about these..."
"Then lend it to me."
"ah?"
"In 2024, I will come to you on time to borrow money." Xie Mi was extremely solemn, and said word by word, "Remember, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."
Chen Yuqing opened his mouth in a daze and wanted to say something, but Xie Mi had already run out in a hurry, leaving behind that classic line as he ran.
"Remember, 2024! I will definitely come back—"
…
Xie Mi kept himself busy on his own.
On the one hand, he had to hurry to find Xu Shuangrong, who was hiding somewhere and preparing to do something bad, and on the other hand, he had to take time to comfort the boy's young and fragile heart.
Now that we've comforted each other, it's time to get down to business.
Xie Mi squatted behind the trash can and watched Chen Yuqing walking out of the noodle shop.
“…”
Forget it, let’s observe for a while.
Although he said he was going to do serious work, his body was honest and followed Chen Yuqing all the way until he entered the house.
Only after she saw the boy sitting at his desk doing his homework through the open window on the second floor did she leave with peace of mind.
The nameplate on Chen Yuqing's school uniform says Class A, Grade 12, so now is 8 years ago.
Does the original text focus on describing the story that happened 8 years ago?
Xie Mi frowned slightly, trying hard to search for each person's story line in his mind.
But no matter how she recalled, no important plot happened at this time eight years ago in the original text.
Then why did Xu Shuangrong choose to travel to this point in time?
Just as she was racking her brains to think, a figure passed by her at the corner of the alley.
Xie Mi walked forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped and his eyelids twitched inexplicably.
I looked back subconsciously, but the figure hurriedly disappeared around another corner.
He walked hurriedly, wearing a baseball cap and keeping his head down the whole time, as if he was in a hurry to do something.
Normally she wouldn't pay attention to whether a passerby is in a hurry.
But this person gave her an inexplicable feeling.
Just as I was thinking about it, a shrill scream suddenly came from deep in the alley.
“Aa ...
Xie Mi Xin was suddenly startled and looked up abruptly.
That direction...
It’s Chen Yuqing’s family!
