Chapter 1995 Hope and Disappointment

juvenile:……

"…I asked for leave from school."

After a long time, the boy whispered.

Meng Jixi: ...

He grinned, "Oh? Should I praise you for asking for leave?"

"That doesn't count as skipping class, does it?"

The boy said nothing.

But it's a default attitude.

Meng Jixi: ...

"Do your parents know that you are taking leave?"

The boy lowered his eyes and used one hand to pick at the nails of his other hand.

A look of concentration.

Meng Jixi smiled knowingly, "I wonder if it is true?"

"I don't know why you hid it from everyone and went to look for your friend Xiaoyi by yourself."

The boy pursed his lips.

Are all police officers so powerful?

He obviously didn't say much.

But this policeman seemed to know all his thoughts.

"but."

Meng Jixi paused, "Isn't it the most important thing to find your friend Xiaoyi now?"

"Then I think you should put aside your worries. Even if you don't want to seek help from the police, you can seek help from your parents, teachers at school, or your friends and classmates."

"One more person means more strength."

"I think you know that, of course."

"Or"

"You think your concerns should take precedence over finding your friends?"

……

"no!"

The boy protested fiercely.

The first grade is the most important!
but……

The boy pursed his lips.

a long time……

“…The police and teachers can’t help me…”

"You can't help me..."

"……just me-"

The boy's whispering stopped abruptly.

He remembered someone.

"Do not……"

"There's another person!"

"Big brother……"

The boy's eyes burst into bright light, "Big brother, big brother..."

Thinking of that magical night, the boy's heart was filled with anticipation.

Big brother is so awesome...

And, anyway…

It's always better to have two people looking than one.

He went to find his big brother!

The boy clenched his fists and his heart beat rapidly.

The whole person became a little agitated.

……

Meng Jixi frowned slightly.

He placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and pressed it hard, "Calm down."

If the boy just now was like a trapped cub, depressed and manic, the boy at this moment was like he finally found a crack in the space closed on all sides, and the light coming in from outside lit up the hope in his heart.

"Did you think of what it was?"

The boy's voice just now was too unclear and he didn't hear it clearly.

However, the changes in the boy's expression were so clear that one could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

"Do you know where Xiaoyi might have gone?"

Meng Jixi guessed.

……

The young man shook his head.

These days, while looking for Xiaoyi, he thought countless times about where Xiaoyi might go.

But every time, it ended in failure.

because……

Xiaoyi has always been with him.

He couldn't think of any place Xiaoyi would go even without saying goodbye.

Even if there really is such a place, why didn't Xiaoyi tell him?
He would definitely take Xiaoyi with him.

If Xiaoyi didn't want him to go...

He also hopes that Xiaoyi can tell him about his travel plans.

He won't force it.

Instead of being like this now... nothing is left...

It's like it disappeared.

He was extremely worried.

Gradually, he even began to get scared.

Whether it was the guess that Xiaoyi had an accident... or the guess that Xiaoyi had left him...

No matter which guess he made, it frightened him. …

"That……"

Meng Jixi couldn't think of anything else that could make the boy so happy except this?

The boy couldn't help but curl up his lips, "I know who to ask for help."

"Who are you looking for?"

Meng Jixi asked subconsciously.

"Big brother!"

The boy answered loudly.

If it weren't for their previous conversation, Meng Jixi almost thought that the boy was calling him.

"Who is the eldest brother?"

Meng Jixi was a little curious about who was the big brother that the boy trusted so much that he didn't want to call the police or tell anyone else that Xiaoyi was missing?
"Big brother is-"

The boy's voice stopped again.

He felt that his mind was really full of the missing Xiaoyi.

I have only just realized this important issue.

"…I don't know what big brother's name is…"

That night, it was not until the older brother left that he remembered that he had forgotten to ask his older brother's name.

When he jumped onto the windowsill again, his older brother had disappeared.

At this moment...

He couldn't help but hit himself hard on the head.

His mood went up and down like a roller coaster.

Because he had enjoyed flying in the air, this fall was particularly painful for him.

Just a little bit...

He clearly remembered his older brother with great difficulty.

result……

"…I don't know who the big brother is…"

The boy's voice was hoarse.

"do not know?"

Meng Jixi was stunned.

"Isn't that someone you know?"

"I have only met Big Brother once..."

The young man took a deep breath.

He blinked hard again to suppress the soreness in the corners of his eyes.

He didn't dare raise his hand, for fear that the person opposite him would notice his gaffe.

……

"Then how do you know he can help you find Xiaoyi?"

Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He did not expose the boy's pretense.

"...Big brother, it's OK..."

The boy dug his fingers into his palm.

The slight pain dispelled some of the blurriness in his eyes.

……

"Why do you think he can?"

Meng Jixi asked.

The boy didn't answer.

Meng Jixi shrugged slightly.

"Then can you tell me the information of that big brother?"

Meng Jixi turned and asked.

"You don't know his name, but you can at least describe his appearance, right?"

"Does he have any distinctive features?"

The boy remained silent.

Meng Jixi raised an eyebrow, "Or..."

"That older brother is just like Xiaoyi, and can't reveal anything to others?"

"In that case..."

Meng Jixi wanted to help, but the other party didn't appreciate it.

He doesn't force it either.

"Give me your father or mother's contact information."

There was a hint of toughness in Meng Jixi's attitude.

"I'll talk to them about compensation for the car."

The teenager’s side of the argument didn’t make sense, so we could only talk to his parents.

The boy's parents were also a sloppy bunch.

The boy's behavior was so obvious.

Didn’t they notice?
If you found out, didn't you ask the boy what happened?
Why don’t you talk to the young man more?

If we communicate more often...

Children are always more likely to open up to their parents than to strangers.

If that were the case, perhaps today’s accident wouldn’t have happened.

I don’t know what the boy’s parents think?

He doesn't care enough about his own children.

Meng Jixi shook his head slightly.

Except for the teenager's parents.
The teenager’s parents should also inform the school.

Pay more attention to young people.
