Chapter 2005 I will try my best
But Xiaoyi is missing.

The young man tried his best.

He was at his wit's end.

At this time, Master Xiao's words were like a life-saving straw to him in despair.

Master Xiao did not deny the possibility of finding Xiaoyi.

Master Xiao was still willing to help him.

His heart was filled with gratitude.

……

"Let's go."

Xiao Xiao walked out of the apartment building.

"Go, where?"

The boy subconsciously chased after him and asked.

Because they had already walked the entire route from school to his home.

He had no idea where to go next.

……

"Where is your schoolbag?"

Xiao Xiao asked casually.

“In a locker at a nearby supermarket.”

The boy blurted out.

Then he was startled, "You..."

The other party asked too casually, so he answered naturally without thinking.
……

Meng Jixi rolled his eyes. "What's so surprising about this?"

"You just said that your parents don't know that you asked for leave from school."

"Don't you carry a schoolbag to and from school every day?"

A look of realization appeared on the boy's face.

……

"Go to the supermarket and get your schoolbag."

Xiao Xiao met the boy's eyes that were once again confused, "It's almost time."

"You should be going home at the normal school time."

The boy looked up at the sky.

It's still light.

After all, it's only September.

He looked down at the time on his watch again.

It was indeed almost time for him to finish school.

but……

The boy pursed his lips.

He had just confirmed that Xiaoyi was in trouble, and he was unwilling to go back like this.

……

"It's no use for you to stay."

Meng Jixi speaks frankly.

“Students should put their studies first.”

"Let's leave the matter of finding people, ahem - monsters, to the professionals."

……

"Don't ask for leave later."

Xiao Xiao walked out of the community.

He remembered that there were two large supermarkets on the way here, near the boy's community.

Considering "safety", the boy should have chosen the supermarket closer to the outside.

"I've already taken so many days off."

"If you continue to take leave, the teacher will also be worried."

"I'm afraid I'll have to contact your parents to find out the situation then."

……

The boy closed his mouth as he was about to retort.

He knew that what Master Xiao said was right.

The teacher has called him several times to inquire about his situation.

When he first asked for leave, he didn't consider the number of days at all.

He only wanted to find Xiaoyi.

He needs more time to find Xiaoyi.

……

"I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."

Xiao Xiao understood the boy's feelings.

"..."

The young man was silent.

"This is the condition."

Xiao Xiao turned and looked at the boy who lowered his head.

condition?

The young man looked up suddenly.

There was a hint of speculation in his eyes.

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao confirmed the boy's thoughts.

"I'll help you find Xiaoyi."

"The condition is that you go back to school."

"concentrate in class."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"If the performance drops significantly..."

"Will not!"

The boy interrupted Master Xiao.

“I won’t let my grades slip.”

The boy's face shows his own confidence and pride.

……

"very good."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, "Then, I won't let you down."

The young man was stunned.

"All right."

Xiao Xiao's expression was slightly restrained, "Go get your schoolbag."

Hey?
The boy turned his head sharply. The supermarket in front of him was the one where he had left his schoolbag.

His eyes widened in surprise.

He obviously didn't say anything.
……

"Why don't you go quickly?"

Meng Jixi gently pushed the young man.

"oh oh."

The boy temporarily suppressed his doubts and hurried into the supermarket.

The boy's back disappeared behind the automatic door of the supermarket.

Meng Jixi turned around, "Master Xiao."

"Did you find anything?"

"No."

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

Not a surprising answer.

After all, the only person involved knew nothing about Xiaoyi's disappearance.

It was not until an unknown amount of time had passed since Xiaoyi was missing that we discovered he was missing.

Meng Jixi frowned, "Is it possible to find it?"

If he is looking for someone, he can be of great help.

But you have to find monsters.
He has the will but not the ability.

so.
We can only rely on Master Xiao for this matter.

However, Master Xiao alone has to find the missing monster.
It must be a very difficult thing, right?
"Did I help you to brag too much?"

Meng Jixi realized belatedly that if Master Xiao didn't find Xiaoyi in the end, how would they explain it to the boy?
He was so sure at the beginning.

He said just leave it to Master Xiao.

结果
"Whether it is or not"

Xiao Xiao smiled, "You've already said what you wanted to say."

Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows, "That's right."

"I'm also afraid that kid will do something stupid by himself."

Meng Jixi explained, "So I thought I'd stabilize him first."

"Master Xiao, you are capable and should do more work."

"If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to tell me."

"It's OK even if I just work as a driver."

"certainly-"

Meng Jixi hastily added, "It would be better if I could be more than just a driver."

Xiao Xiao laughed.

He was about to speak.

My heart moved.

His eyes passed over Meng Jixi and looked towards the supermarket entrance.

A boy with a schoolbag appeared at the door.

The steps are hurried.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao saw him, the boy ran away.

……

"Master Xiao, Brother Meng."

The boy was a little out of breath.

……

"Let's go back."

Xiao Xiao walked back the way he came.

The boy grabbed the shoulder strap of his schoolbag and followed Xiao Xiao's pace.

……

Xiao Xiao stopped at the gate of the community.

He turned and looked at the boy.

"We sent it here."

Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't think too much when you go back."

"Since you have decided to ask Master Xiao for help, you must trust Master Xiao."

"Otherwise there's no point in asking for help, right?"

Meng Jixi's words made the boy swallow back the words that were about to come out of his throat.

He was a little hesitant.

After hearing what Brother Meng said, if he said anything else, it would seem like he was questioning Master Xiao's ability.

Anyone would be unhappy to be questioned.

Out of this concern, the boy didn't dare to speak.

He tightened the shoulder straps of his schoolbag and dropped his eyes.

Standing there in silence.

……

Ok?
The movement above his head made the boy look up in confusion.

Xiao Xiao withdrew his hand that had been patting the boy’s head.

"I'll try."

Xiao Xiao just said a simple sentence.

The boy blinked.

Blinked again.

"……Um!"

……

The boy walked into the community.

Just as he was about to enter the community, the boy turned around.

He bowed slightly to Master Xiao.

"please……"

The voice is very soft.

But Xiao Xiao heard it.

……

The boy disappeared in the community.

Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi turned around.

"Master Xiao, what are you going to do next?"

After walking a few steps, Meng Jixi spoke.
