Chapter 427 The Extra One
Shu Yu closed the courtyard gate and said with a smile, "Don't stand in the courtyard yet, come in and sit down. What would you like to drink? Let Da Hu pour you some."
As she spoke, Shu Yu's gaze swept over these people a few times.
One, two, three...nine.
Yes, there were nine classmates.
She had felt that the number of people was a bit off. Da Hu clearly said that eight classmates were coming, but now there was one more.
Not only was there one extra person, but this extra person seemed out of place among the others, and was also the tallest, even taller than the ten-year-old classmate.
Earlier, when they were outside the courtyard, she thought this person was a family member of these students who was worried about them and had come to escort them, and would go back after seeing them off.
As a result, this person followed them in, and not only that, but his gaze swept over their yard with obvious disbelief.
Shu Yu felt puzzled, and then saw a primary school student in the crowd say with an embarrassed look, "This, this is my cousin Jiang Leshan. He was afraid that I was too young to understand, so he came along to check on me. I'm sorry."
The elementary school student hung his head, looking very ashamed, as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground.
Shu Yu naturally wouldn't blame him. "It's alright, guests are guests, please come in and sit down."
"Thanks."
As everyone entered one after another, the elementary school student walked at the back and whispered to Da Hu, who was with him, "Da Hu, my cousin insisted on coming along, and I couldn't stop him."
Da Hu also lowered his voice and whispered, "It's okay, it's just one more person. But... didn't you and your cousin not have any contact before?"
"Yeah, he used to bully me and never played with me. But these past two days he's been acting really weird. He suddenly came to my door to talk to me, saying that brothers should help each other, and even bought me candy and snacks. I was so scared."
The elementary school student patted his chest, looking terrified. "We're not even in the same school. He used to avoid me whenever he saw me, saying our school was doomed. But yesterday he actually waited for me outside after school and insisted on walking me home. It was the same today."
Da Hu comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Even though Da Hu was the youngest, he spoke like a little adult, "Let me tell you, my second sister is very powerful. With her around, your cousin doesn't need to be afraid of even the fiercest monsters."
The elementary school student nodded emphatically, "I feel relieved to hear you say that."
The two entered the main room together, and Daya had already efficiently gone to the kitchen to bring over tea.
After Da Hu invited his classmates to sit down, he immediately ran to the kitchen to get some food. The popcorn wasn't popped yet because it was meant to be eaten hot, but he had also prepared other snacks.
After Da Hu went out, Shu Yu followed him out and quickly caught up with him, asking, "What did your little classmate say to you just now?"
Da Hu paused, and without saying a word, told her exactly what had happened.
Finally, she said worriedly, "Second sister, you once said that if someone is unusually helpful, they must have ulterior motives. Do you think his cousin might be up to something?"
Shu Yu pondered, feeling as if something was wrong.
She suddenly remembered that when the child introduced his cousin, he said that his surname was... Jiang.
And it's been acting strangely for the last couple of days.
Shu Yu asked, "What's your classmate's name? Do you know what his parents do?"
