Even the cat who had been screaming at the four young men before was now lying softly on the ground, meowing in a sweet milky voice, letting the girl's fingers sink into its furry belly.

Zheng Yi's undisguised footsteps made the girl tremble slightly again, and the mask that was originally painted with a smiling face suddenly turned into a frightened expression.

She hugged the cat back into her arms, and moved her body slightly against the wall.

After seeing that the person who came was Zheng Yi, he immediately showed a relieved attitude-this was obviously expressed from the mask.

And the cat who was still a little ready to go, when he saw that it was Zheng Yi, he also slowly calmed down the pointy tail that exploded.

Zheng Yi hesitated.

"Can I get a little closer?"

"..."

The girl didn't answer.

But she did nodded slightly, and the mask on her forehead turned into a normal smiling face.

first change

Worked late, accidentally fell asleep

Chapter 82: I didn't expect you to be so thick-browed and big-eyed

Looking at the little girl's strange attire, even if something like that happened just now, Zheng Yi would not really treat her as an ordinary girl with no power to restrain her.

Leaving aside the unknown mask, the fact that she allowed Xiao Hei to ask Zheng Yi for help in person is enough to prove that there must be something extraordinary about this girl.

Identity, ability, and possibly the body itself.

But, before all these factors...

"Do you mind if I sit next to you?"

The girl shook her head.

"Thank you."

Stepping lightly, Zheng Yi sat side by side on the ground next to the girl. In the summer of Lishi, even at night, there is never a cool breeze that can be called cold. What blows in the alley is a somewhat muggy airflow.

"Aren't you hot?"

Zheng Yi looked at the somewhat old down jacket on the girl. Almost no one wears it and there is no market for it in Lishi. Even in winter, the outdoor temperature in Lishi is basically maintained above 20°C.

Hearing this, the girl tilted her head slightly, her long hair that fell to the ground swayed, revealing her somewhat dirty face, still expressionless.

But Zheng Yi could tell from that mask that she was puzzled, as if she didn't understand Zheng Yi's words.

In other words, she may not feel what the so-called "heat" is.

How come there is a kind of...

Zheng Yi unconsciously felt a bit of distress. The girl's appearance was exactly the same as that of the cat in her arms, and she looked like a wanderer.

With the rapid economic development of the Yanhuang Republic, in fact, even in the old city of Lishi, it is rare to see beggars or homeless people. Zheng Yi remembers that the last time he saw homeless people and beggars was when he was twelve years old.

The girl's already beautiful and weak appearance looks even more pitiful in this helpless situation.

In a sense, this little guy who is almost wrapped up like a zongzi in an adult-style down jacket is more pitiful than the shiny-haired cat who looks like he has been helped by the neighbors.

Just, why is it like this?

Zheng Yi slowly stretched out his hand, smiled slightly at the cat who was put back on the ground by the girl, and then lay down naturally to reveal his belly, and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Meow~"

"Thank you."

Under the cat's coquettish response, Zheng Yi skilfully licked her orange belly twice.

Although the cat is a bit fatter, its belly is only that big. When two people reach out and rub together, it is easy to touch each other.

Looking at the little girl who didn't deliberately avoid his palm, but continued to concentrate on stroking the cat, Zheng Yi was relieved.

At least, in this state of being very sensitive to strangers, I was not warned or disgusted by this little girl.

"Is there somewhere you can go back?"

The girl shook her head.

"Is there anyone I know nearby?"

The girl held the cat under the armpit with both hands, and raised the cheerful cat to Zheng Yi with a blank expression.

"That……"

Zheng Yi hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "... Is there any place you want to go?"

This time, the girl didn't respond right away.

She froze there suddenly, and after a while, she hugged the cat back into her arms little by little, put her chin against the cat's head, and buried her face.

Through the gap in the forehead hair, Zheng Yi actually found that the little guy who had been expressionless since the meeting had frowned slightly.

And the mask worn on the side of the forehead showed the little guy's complicated psychological activities without omission.

A moment of contemplation, a moment of sadness, a moment of anger, the simple but expressive facial features on the mask changed repeatedly.

Zheng Yi didn't urge her either, but just quietly waited for the girl's answer.

In the end, amidst the cat's suspicious cry, the expression on the mask was fixed on a sad and frustrated face.

The girl shook her head slightly.

As if sensing her depression, the cat poked two meat pads and pressed the girl's cheek.

Zheng Yi closed his eyes.

He is also thinking.

It's just that Zheng Yi didn't spend much time worrying about the girl's troubles.

He leaned against the wall and stood up.

This action caught the girl's attention. The little guy raised his face, his two big eyes were half-hidden in his thick black long hair, staring straight at the girl who stood up and the shadow could basically engulf her completely. Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi opened his eyes, turned around, bent down, and stretched out his right hand to the little girl who was still a little dazed.

"If you have nowhere to go back and don't know where to go."

He showed his usual gentle and peaceful smile.

"Would you like to come to my place temporarily?"

——

"I am back."

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Yi shouted habitually.

"Huh? Brother, why are you so—"

Shouting, Zheng Xin, who was lazily lying on the sofa in the living room, jumped up suddenly, her bare feet stepped on the elastic sofa, and turned around to look in the direction of the door.

Then she swallowed the second half of the sentence back, leaving only a dazed face of [who am I, where am I, and what did I eat tonight].

"How many times have I said, don't make such a fuss, and don't use the sofa as a trampoline! What if you fall down, do you want to lose your appearance?"

Although Zheng Yi was nagging like this, he was not willing to put on a preaching face to Zheng Xin, but looked helplessly at his younger sister who was always a bit energetic.

And this buffer of about ten seconds allowed Zheng Xin to finally reload her mind.

She turned over and jumped over the sofa, stepped on the tiles with her bare feet, and ran towards Zheng Yi.

"Slippers! Be careful of catching a cold."

"No, no, it's all trivial matters now! Compared to this, brother, no, Comrade Zheng Yi!"

Zheng Xin opened her mouth and raised her finger to point behind Zheng Yi.

"I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution?"

"Believe it or not, I really killed you."

Zheng Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

But this time Zheng Xin didn't easily satisfy the joy of playing tricks, she stared at Zheng Yi seriously: "Where did you pick up the little one?"

"Look at her like this, brother, she started in three years—— oops!"

Withdrawing the hand that hit Zheng Xin's head, Zheng Yi subconsciously rubbed the place he had just hit, and rolled his eyes at Zheng Xin angrily.

"Don't be silly, you scare people."

As he said that, Zheng Yi turned his body slightly, revealing the little girl who was scared by Zheng Xin and hid behind him.

At this time, the little girl is no longer wearing the modern combination suit, but has changed into a fitted neutral short-sleeved and jeans, wearing a small gray-black round cap, her long hair is tied up and tied in a bunch hanging on her shoulders. A clean look around the waist.

Realizing that Zheng Yi got out of the way, he felt Zheng Xin's gaze. The little guy was like a kangaroo cub looking for his mother's bag. Without saying a word, he pulled Zheng Yi's arm and buried his face in him.

Zheng Yi smiled helplessly.

"Let me introduce, this is the person my father entrusted us to take care of for a period of time. I was going to pick her up at the station, but I forgot to tell you."

Having said that, Zheng Yi compared the purple suitcase that he easily carried in his hand.

"Her name is..."

"White."

The girl suddenly spoke.

She was still buried on Zheng Yi's body, so her voice was muffled, but it didn't prevent Zheng Xin from hearing the content clearly.

"Li, Bai."

The girl paused word by word, and said the name in a somewhat jerky tone.
