Chapter 2626

Asahi Yuaki carried the folding table in one hand and chatted happily with Shinichi and Xiaolan along the way.

Although they have a relatively large age gap, Shinichi and Ran are more mature than their peers, while Asahi Yuaki is more childish than most adults, so they can chat very naturally.

——Talk about school classes, homework, daily games and friends, and cartoons on TV.

Chaohi Xiqiu spent most of his time listening to the two of them chatting. He enjoyed listening to their conversations between childhood sweethearts and didn't find it boring at all.

Although he had basic knowledge about school in his head, it was just rigid text without his own unique experience.

When he heard those vivid experiences from Shinichi and Ran, he really felt that everything came alive, like a comic book flipping through the pages.

"That's great." Chao Ri Xi Qiu sighed, his eyes sparkling, "I also want to go to your elementary school. Are you still accepting people now?"

"Big brother, are you here to apply for the job?" Xiaolan asked, looking up.

Actually, I want to ask if we can recruit older children and let them enroll as elementary school students...

But Chao Ri Xi Qiu's lips moved, but in the end he didn't have the courage to say it.

He knew he was too old now, unless time could go back and his body could become that of a child again.

Xiaolan put her finger on her lips, thinking carefully, and said slowly: "Well... I seem to remember that the teacher mentioned in passing that the school is a little short of staff recently. It seems that the kitchen and sanitation and health care are in need of manpower..."

In the kitchen. Chaohi Xiqiu paused for a moment, and actually thought for a few moments.

Being a cook in primary school seems to be a good idea. It is safe and stable.

After all, no matter what, the main plot of a shonen manga can't start a fight in the kitchen. It's a recognized rule that you can't hit the chef in a fight!

Although my cooking skills are average, they are definitely not deadly. Moreover, I have a huge advantage that others cannot match, that is, I have unlimited ripe melons.

As long as we go to the kitchen ourselves, this school will never be short of fruits before and after meals.

But wait, in that case, instead of being a chef, I might as well apply to be a fruit tree for campus greening - by the way, can I add the option of "Watermelon Vine" when applying for the position?

Although he is not as charming as Watermelon Vine, he can learn!

Asahi Yuaki was daydreaming when she heard the boy's voice.

"I remember that the school's safety class teacher is also recruiting. Big brother, you can definitely give it a try." Xiao Xinyi tilted his head slightly, his sapphire eyes glittering. He looked confident and determined, "Because, big brother, you-you are the kind of person who has practiced, right?"

Just now he noticed that the fox-eyed young man subdued the scarred-faced man at the school gate very smoothly.

The grappling posture, the knife-grabbing hands, and the aura did not seem like something that an ordinary citizen could develop.

Moreover, everything was just too much of a coincidence. How could someone happen to be cutting a melon at the school gate and happen to be next to Scarface who was going crazy?

Rather than a small coincidence, Shinichi thought that the other party had already noticed the scarred man's abnormality in the crowd. So he took advantage of the situation and followed him to the school gate, secretly observing from the side, and took action at the critical moment.

At this moment, Chao Ri Xi Qiu had not yet completely gotten rid of the thought of "whether he could apply for the campus greening plant". Hearing the boy's voice, he just subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked at the young boy.

The thin and thick eyelashes cast a light shadow, and the deep golden fox eyes are like a handful of dripping amber. Beautiful, but also a suffocating danger.

“…!” Shin-chan paused in his steps, and his other hanging hand instinctively tightened - but this was only the response of his body.

Through rational analysis of what happened at the school gate just now and all the details of the subsequent casual chat, the young detective had already come to the conclusion that the person in front of him was not a bad person.

——That’s why he said what he just said.

In fact, if he felt something was wrong, he wouldn't have agreed to go together just now, nor would he have been so blunt. At least he wouldn't have dragged Xiaolan along.

Even though he has the curiosity to explore, he will not put Xiaolan in danger. This is his responsibility and commitment.

After a brief pause, Shinichi slowly relaxed his body. He thought, maybe the person in front of him was a plainclothes policeman or something like that... carrying out a secret mission.

After all, making friends with elementary school students sounds so strange! Maybe he just follows the children around to do something cryptic.

Xiao Xin blinked his childish eyes, put one hand on his lips, and said in a low voice: "...Big brother, don't worry, I won't say anything."

Then, he smiled brightly, "If you need any help, I'm always here! I'm a very good detective."

Whether it's providing cover or collecting clues, Xiaoxin feels that he can definitely help.

He saw injustice and helped others with his sword. A simple sense of justice surged in his chest, and he showed the courage and cleverness of a young boy to the adults he just met.

Chaori Xiqiu: "..."

What are you relieved about? What are you not saying? What can I help you with?

For a moment, Asahi Yuaki thought that the main character had gone crazy and recruited the elementary school student into his gang.

He cautiously opened the bullet screen with his mind, and after glancing at the name being discussed, it was still someone like [Hagiwara Balbala], and he felt relieved.

...Huh, it seems I was overthinking this time. The person in front of me is just an elementary school student. I don't think the main story will hire child laborers.

Chaori Xiqiu changed his previous thoughts and after a brief contemplation, he suddenly realized.

He understood that the young boy's comment of "You've practiced before" was a compliment to his ability in selecting watermelons. The vague explanation that followed was that he had guessed that his watermelon-selling business would be difficult at first, so he kindly offered to help.

Elementary school students are so kind! Asahi Yuaki was very moved. As expected, they are his new good friends.

He didn't want to disappoint his friend's kindness, and he also thought that he might need some business tips in the future. After all, these students were one of his future customers.

Chaori Xiqiu also wants to consider making some watermelon derivatives after obtaining the stall license, such as watermelon juice, watermelon shaved ice, watermelon coconut milk and the like. These all require research and feedback.

So Chao Ri Xi Qiu nodded seriously and prepared to agree, but he also held back a little. He tilted his head and said slowly: "You are still a child now, right? I shouldn't drag you down. But... well, in case I can't handle everything myself, maybe I will need one or two."

Asahi Xiqiu and Xiaoxin looked at each other, their eyes shining, and they were both convinced of something in their hearts.

"..." Xiaolan blinked her purple eyes twice. She saw that the two seemed to have reached a brief tacit understanding with each other.

I don’t know why, maybe it’s intuition, she always feels that what her childhood friend thinks is different from what the older brother in front of her thinks ()

But she didn't question or interrupt because they both looked very happy.

Having solved his worry, Chao Ri Xi Qiu was no longer frustrated about not being able to sell watermelons in front of the school gate today. He was now completely immersed in having fun.

Seeing the football wrapped around Shinichi's left arm, he took the initiative to suggest playing together for a while.

The school was over early, and they had nothing to do, so they happened to pass by an open space, so they just played with the ball in the empty space. Asahi Yuki put down his folding table, and Xiao Xinyi and Xiaolan put down their schoolbags, leaving only the ball.

The one who plays the best among the three is naturally Shinichi. Asahi, Yukichi and Ran are not particularly good at this game, but this is not a competitive game, so they just have a lot of fun playing with each other.

Asahi Yuaki took the ball kicked by Shin-chan and wanted to simulate the common sense page in his mind and make a cool flying kick, but he lost control and the whole football bounced high in the air!

The three of them looked up.

The black and white football first hit the treetop, bounced off a watermelon hidden in the treetop, hit a watermelon on the other side of the electric pole, and then made an unscientifically strong upward rebound and rushed straight into the window of the building next to it.

“Blah——”

With a loud bang, the football shattered the window glass and crashed completely into the house.

The ball goes in!

“……” The three people on the ground fell into a brief silence.

Chao Ri Xi Qiu was stunned at first, and then his heart began to beat fast.

What are you doing? This is a game between the three of us. You, Watermelon, are the only one who can get involved and you're the only one who can kick?!

Where are you shooting?!

Fortunately, this is an abandoned building waiting to be demolished, and probably no one lives in it now.

Asahi Xiqiu coughed, breaking the silence. He knew that the mistake was caused by his flying kick just now, so he took the initiative to say, "Wait here for me, I'll go up and pick up the football."

Since the window is fine, I hope the football is fine. Asahi Yuqiu muttered in his heart. You stinky watermelon, if you can't play football, don't play it.

He stepped into the abandoned residential building and walked up the dilapidated stairs carefully - the football had broken the window on the third floor, so he had to go there to look for it.

As Chaori Xiqiu walked up the stairs, he noticed that the dust on the ground was not consistent, as if someone had just walked here not long ago. This was a completely instinctive analysis, rising and falling through his mind like a tide.

He climbed to the third floor and recalled the window he had looked at from outside. He thought that the room where the football fell should be the second to last room on the east side.

I hope the door is open. Chaori Xiqiu thought to himself. Otherwise, he would have to find a way to open the door... Oh, he seemed to know how to pick the lock. Is this common sense?

But in the end, his common sense of picking locks was not used. When Chao Ri Xi Qiu walked to the second to last room, the door was wide open.

In addition to the football rolling in the pile of glass shards, there was also a familiar figure of a young man with half-long hair.

Hagiwara Kenji?! Asahi Yuaki recognized him immediately. Why was he here?

He first saw Kenji Hagiwara, and then noticed that in front of him there was a peculiarly shaped square box separated by red and blue liquids. The box was half opened, revealing the scattered and dense pipeline structure inside.

Then he noticed that the other person was holding a multi-functional portable utility knife in his right hand and was dismantling the device with one hand, while his left hand was pulled and bound to a metal gas pipe that was drilled into the wall on one side and could not move freely.

Chao Ri Xi Qiu's expression froze, and he felt that the situation was not simple.

——Damn it, Watermelon-kun, I kicked him to the main line! !

Hearing the approaching sound, Hagiwara Kenji turned his head slightly.

Catching a glimpse of Chaohi Xiqiu's figure, he was briefly startled, then smiled: "See you again. Is this your ball? To be honest, I was scared when the glass broke just now."

"It's best not to get close now. If you haven't completely dismantled it, this thing will explode." Although the situation seemed very dangerous, Kenji Hagiwara's voice remained steady.

He narrowed his eyes and said briskly, "My cell phone is dead. If possible, please help call the police and evacuate the people around."
