Chapter 5109 Exposed
"……never mind."

The thin boy waved his hand.

"Just someone apologizes."

The thin boy shook his head.

"I am leaving."

"Next time I will never pick up anything on the street..."

……

"You should have picked up something and handed it over to the police."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

The thin boy was stunned.

what?
……

"This way there won't be any trouble later."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"We don't have the ability to read minds."

"I don't know what you were thinking when you hid the watermelon."

"So I'll have to take up some of your time."

"Let you explain it to us."

……

Skinny boy: ...

The corners of his mouth twitched twice.

This guy……

The pleasure he felt before that he had the upper hand disappeared instantly.

……

The girl's eyes lit up.

She nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

If the boy had answered their questions right from the start, they wouldn't have had to spend so much time arguing with them.

If you don't want to deal with questions from strangers, just like this boy said, skinny boys shouldn't hide the watermelon by themselves.

Instead, you should hand the watermelon directly to the police officer.

That way no one would question him.

He wanted to keep the watermelon himself...

No wonder others came to question him.

……

"Yes."

The old man nodded too.

It was a very simple thing.

and many more……

The old man suddenly realized a problem.

"Since you accepted this watermelon because you thought it was thrown away..."

"Why didn't you tell us this when we asked you questions?"

"Don't you want the owner of the watermelon to find it?"

The skinny boy himself said that he didn't mean to take the watermelon...

But when he saw that no one came back to look for the watermelon, he decided to accept it.

So……

When they came to him to ask questions...

Even when he saw them taking the watermelons he had hidden…
Didn't he have any guesses in his mind?
Aren’t you happy that the owner of the watermelon has been found?

……

The skinny boy's behavior is confusing.

It’s also a little hard to believe...his previous explanations.

The old man frowned.

Skinny boy...

From the beginning, he was hiding his relationship with that watermelon.

If it weren't for him being a witness...

I'm afraid the skinny boy would never admit that he put the watermelon in the bushes.

From this point of view….
The old man began to doubt the thin boy's original purpose.

……

The boy was stumped by the question.

He opened his mouth, "..."

……

"Yes!"

The girls also reacted.

They were all somewhat confused by the skinny boy's confident attitude.

Those words that skinny boys say...

Ok.

Although she didn't quite agree with it, she had to admit that there were people who thought like the skinny boy.

but……

The old man's words reminded him.

Since this skinny boy was willing to return the watermelon to its original owner and wait for the owner of the watermelon...

I don't want to keep the watermelon secretly.

So……

Logically speaking, knowing someone is looking for watermelon...

Skinny boys should feel happy and cooperate actively.

Why are you acting so impatient?
And he was willing to tell them the truth only after they asked him repeatedly...

The skinny boy didn't think his behavior and what he said...

Is there a contradiction?

……

The thin boy unconsciously clasped his five fingers together.

His face stiffened slightly.

……

"……alright."

After a while that seemed long but was actually short, the thin boy shouted impatiently, "I have something else to do." "I'm leaving now."

"Wouldn't it be nice if we found the watermelon?"

The thin boy muttered, "It's not a big deal..."

"It never ends..."

The thin boy turned around.

The footsteps of leaving were somewhat hurried.

It looked a bit embarrassing, as if he was fleeing in panic.

……

This time, Xiao Xiao did not stop the thin boy.

……

The girl blinked a few times.

Hey?
Leaving now?

……

The old man shook his head. “I was wrong.”

"That child really has ulterior motives."

Old people who have experienced the world are much more sensitive than girls.

The skinny boy's performance says it all.

"I almost did something bad with good intentions..."

The old man was very emotional.

....
"what?"

The girl looked at the old man, "Grandpa, what do you mean..."

……

"You guessed it right."

The old man smiled bitterly, "The kid hid the watermelon in the bushes just to keep it secretly."

Instead of the high-sounding explanation given to them by the thin boys.

What do you mean you want to keep the watermelon just because you see it has no owner?

Otherwise, the first reaction of the real owner of the watermelon to see him coming to the door would not be to avoid him.

There will be no "argument with reason" afterwards.

……

"what?"

The girl was a little confused.

Why did the old man suddenly change his mind?

Didn’t the old man just apologize to that thin boy?
……

"Didn't you see how he fled just now?"

The old man explained patiently.

"He left in a hurry because he saw that the matter was exposed."

……

The girls are still a little confused.

Although she always felt that there was something wrong with that skinny boy...

But there is no evidence to support it, and the old man just apologized to the boy...

She could only tell herself that she had misunderstood the boy.

……

"...Didn't you apologize to him?"

The girl asked.

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded, "I was fooled by him."

The old man shook his head.

I'm already old, but I was actually intimidated by a young man.

“I discovered the problem later.”

"I just said that."

"That kid wasn't acting right."

"If he wanted to return the watermelon to its rightful owner..."

"When he sees our performance, he won't be so repulsive and confrontational."

"He should be very cooperative with us."

"Because he would also be happy if you were really the owner of the watermelon."

“But you also saw…”

The old man smiled at the girl and said, "He didn't."

……

"Yes."

A look of realization gradually appeared on the girl's face.

She also thought about what the old man said after hearing what he said just now.

But after the old man told her so clearly, the fog in her heart was all dissipated.

That's right!

"He was so mean to us!"

The girl puffed up her cheeks.

"He also asked you to apologize to him!"

"Does he have the nerve!?"

The girl felt unfair for the old man.

The old man apologized to the boy on their behalf.

The old man took all the responsibility...

……

"fine."

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"It's just an apology."

"Anyway, we know the truth. Do you feel better now?"

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the girl understood what the old man meant.

The girl's eyebrows slowly curved into a crescent shape.
