Evil Bone Devourer

Chapter 8 I'm Not a Girl-
I pursed my lips and didn't want to show my happiness, so I grabbed the fruit-flavored candy in his palm.

"Jinbao is in a bad mood, he must be happy to see Tang."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and was about to leave when I suddenly felt someone grab my collar, and I was pulled up with a light lift.

I shrank my neck in fear, and my feet were hanging in mid-air.

Pei Shen looked skinny, but he didn't expect to be quite strong.

I was always being carried like a little chick, looking funny and ridiculous.

The person behind warned: "Eat by yourself."

I nodded repeatedly and promised: "Okay, then I will hide."

He put me down when he saw me say that, and asked in an adult tone: "Don't you have homework every day?"

I hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer. We are all in the same school.
It is impossible to lie.
He saw through my thoughts and asked, "Then why don't you write?"

I lowered my head deeply, and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Go to school to write in the morning."

"Write or copy?"

Destroy without mercy!
I swallowed nervously, how should I answer?

Pei Shen is famous for his good studies, a typical child of other people's family!
When every child in the alley is being disciplined by their parents, they will hear the same sentence, "Look at Pei Shen, you are looking at you!"

Everyone grew up living in his shadow!

"From now on, I finish my homework with me and play with them every day."

There was a painful howl in my heart.

what?
No way?
Why doesn't it matter if it's written or not?
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back to the room. After walking two steps, he turned around and saw that I was still standing there. He tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you going to pick up the schoolbag?"

"Oh, I'll go right now."

Like an eggplant beaten by frost, I wilted all of a sudden.
I've never been in Pei Shen's room before, this is the first time I've been in, the room is very clean, the desk is full of books and notebooks, and there is a dark blue desk lamp.

I slept with my grandma, and Pei Shen already had his own room.

But I am not envious, I like being with grandma.

He took a wooden bench and signaled me to sit on it, and I was like a puppet man, I would do whatever people told me to do, and I didn't dare to make mistakes at all.

I don't know what kind of madness he is having today, he looked at my exercise book and books seriously, and glanced at me from time to time to see if I was serious about writing.

Although I acted seriously, my thoughts had already flown to Jiuwujia, thinking about Dong Jinbao in my heart.

It goes without saying that we have feelings for the Gang of Four. If one is in trouble, the other three must come to help.

Jinbao!
It's not that I don't want to accompany you, I have no choice but to!
A pen suddenly appeared on my notebook, and I tapped it like a reminder, "Be serious."

"Brother, can I start tomorrow?"

"why?"

I said cautiously: "Something happened to Dong Jinbao's family, I want to accompany him."

Pei Shen turned his head to look at his paper, without even giving me a look, "I don't need you alone, write well."

"Oh."

My grades were very bad. In the class, I and Jiuwu were in the bottom ten respectively.

These assignments are like complicated scriptures in front of me, so difficult that I doubt life.

After I finished writing, it was already dark. When I was packing my things and preparing to leave, Pei Shen stopped me.

He picked up what I wrote and began to review it carefully. I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and I didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
He glanced at me meaningfully, and asked me, "Yinghe, do you know how much you've made mistakes?"

I scratched my head, with an awkward smile on my face, "How much?"

"Almost all wrong."

I:"."

"Ask me next time, don't write in confusion, you are fooling yourself."

My face turned red instantly, and the burning sensation made me dare not look up.

That seemed to be the first time I felt ashamed. If there was a crack in the ground, I must get in or others would see me.

Pei Shen softened his tone, and persuaded him solemnly: "Yinghe, you are a girl..."

"I'm not a girl."

Pei Shen was taken aback.

I muttered softly: "Girls have long hair."

I never realized that I cared so much about this short hair.

It has become a habit for so many years, but I still feel envious when I see other people's long hair.

I played with boys, wore boy clothes, and told myself that being a boy was fine.

Even though, people at school always make fun of me...

I went home lazily with my schoolbag in my arms, and my grandma said in surprise, "I heard that my eldest son went to study? The sun really came out from the west."

I leaned over and hugged my grandma's thin waist, raised my head and asked, "Grandma, will you be particularly disappointed that I don't study well?"

Grandma knew without thinking that I must have been scolded by Pei Shen, she quickly smiled and comforted her: "Everyone has their own way out, grandma is happy that you have studied well, it doesn't matter if you work hard and fail, as long as you are healthy Happy grandma will be content."

I was moved for a while, "Grandma, do you know about Dong Jinbao's family?"

Grandma stretched out her index finger and tapped my forehead, "Don't meddle in adults' affairs, children, I have been with your aunt, and Jin Bao's mother will not leave for the time being."

I was overjoyed, "Really?"

Grandma sighed helplessly, her expression was not very good-looking, "Yeah."

"Grandma, do you think my parents are also divorced, and they don't want me so they left me in the orphanage?"

Grandma immediately sank her face, and her vicissitudes of eyes were quickly stained with water vapor.

"Nonsense! Our Dabao is so good, how could he not want you? Stop thinking about it, isn't it good for you to be at grandma's house?"

"Okay! They want me now, and I won't go back. I'll be by Grandma's side."

After hearing this, grandma laughed happily, holding my hand tightly, and froze the corners of her mouth when I couldn't see, with distress in her eyes.
-
The next day, Dong Jinbao regained his former spirit and ran like a big black bear.

We gather in the alley every morning, and then go to school together.

Today, we have an extra Pei Shen in our team.

At the beginning, everyone was still a little uncomfortable, walking in a well-behaved manner and not daring to make a fuss.

After all, Brother Pei Shen is a few years older than us, so there is always a sense of restraint around him.

But the child's world can't be pretended for a few minutes. After a while, the true nature is exposed, and they chase each other crazy.

Pei Shen remained silent, walking quietly by my side the whole time.

Grandma reminded me ten thousand times that today is a special day and I must go home early. When we left at the school gate, Brother Pei Shen said: "I will wait for you after school in the evening. Remember to come out early."

"it is good."

But when school was about to leave in the afternoon, the sky, which was still bright and sunny, suddenly turned dark, and it felt like a blink of an eye.
