Chapter 606: Meng Jixi's Call
Because of the presence of Taotie, the big eater, Xiao Xiao divided the cake in advance to prevent other monsters from not getting any.

Seeing Taotie staring at the cake beside him with an unsatisfied look, Xiao Xiao flicked its forehead with his fingers and said, "Okay, these are yours too."

Xiao Xiao also put the extra toast he bought in front of Taotie.

Looking at the food which was more than that of other monsters, Taotie nodded reluctantly, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

Obviously he was still very happy.

Taotie suddenly felt that Xiao Xiao looked more pleasing to the eye.

After all, the other party is quite discerning and knows how to please me.

A certain monster started to show off for no apparent reason, causing Feifei to look at it strangely.

……

After eating the cake and listening to the Pipa Ghost's performance, Xiao Xiao waved goodbye to the Pipa Ghost.

The rain is still falling.

"Crackling~"

The raindrops fall on the ground with a crisp sound.

Xiao Xiao waved and hailed another taxi.

Xiao Xiao was very happy to unexpectedly meet the Pipa Ghost whom he had not seen for a long time and listen to the Pipa Ghost's performance.

However, his own situation made him frown.

Compared to when the clothes are completely wet, half-dry clothes sticking to the body are more uncomfortable.

Now he just wanted to get back to the dormitory as soon as possible to take a hot shower and change clothes.

……

The car sped into the rain and fog.

We got off the bus halfway, so it only took us a dozen minutes to become familiar with the surrounding scenery.

Yan University is coming soon.

……

After getting off the car, Xiao Xiao felt the coolness of the water droplets on his face and smiled helplessly. This time he thoroughly "enjoyed" the mood and romance of "walking in the rain".

……

Xiao Xiao did not delay and walked quickly towards the dormitory building in the rain.

After entering the dormitory building, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

However, the sticky feeling on my body became more and more severe.

……

"Dong Dong~"

Xiao Xiao knocked on the door. He didn't want to take the key out of his wet trouser pocket.

……

"Third brother, you're back, you-"

Zhang Bo's loud voice came out as the door opened.

Then, the voice stopped abruptly. Zhang Bo looked at Xiao Xiao in amazement, grinning with a bit of amusement, "Hey, Third Brother, you're soaked to the skin."

……

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes, pushed Zhang Bo aside and walked into the dormitory.

He doesn't have time to argue with anyone right now.

……

"Third brother, why did it happen like this?"

Zhuge Yun looked "horrified" and asked, "Didn't you find a place to hide from the rain?"

"Exaggerated."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Zhuge Yun lightly.

It's a shame this guy doesn't go into acting.

……

"Third brother, why didn't you ask us to pick you up?"

Zhao Luzheng looked at Xiao Xiao who was wiping his face with a towel, picked up Xiao Xiao's cup and poured him a cup of hot water.

……

"It's already wet anyway."

"It doesn't matter if it's even wetter."

Xiao Xiao took his pajamas off the bed. He didn't want to go out today.

……

"Yes, the previous rainstorm was really sudden."

Zhuge Yun curled his lips, "Many people should have been 'infected', right?"

"Ah."

"I'll take a shower first."

Xiao Xiao turned around and closed the toilet door.

……

That day, Xiao Xiao was making tea with a kettle in his hand when his cell phone screen lit up. Xiao Xiao tilted his head and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so he ignored it.

As he was sipping the tea, his phone, which had just gone out, lit up again, still with the same number.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, reached out for the phone, and answered the call.

... "Master Xiao."

A strange yet somewhat familiar voice.

Xiao Xiao's perfect memory reminded him of the owner of the voice, "...Meng Jixi?"

"……it's me."

Meng Jixi was a little surprised that Xiao Xiao could recognize his voice. After all, they didn't spend much time together, and this call was a long time after their last meeting, so he was stunned for a moment before responding.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Xiao went straight to the point.

He knew that Meng Jixi would never come to the temple without a request and that he had a very strong personality.

This time she actually took the initiative to call him, she must have encountered some difficulties.

Moreover, it is a difficult problem that ordinary people cannot solve.

……

"Master Xiao, I need your help with something."

Meng Jixi was also a man of swift and decisive actions. He never tolerated beating around the bush or talking a lot of nonsense. Even though the relationship between the two was barely better than that between strangers, he directly stated his purpose.

No, it should be a request.

Although this attitude doesn't sound like asking for help.

"Master Xiao, when are you free, let's talk in person."

Meng Jixi spoke very fast but his pronunciation was very clear.

Obviously, things were a bit tricky, and Meng Jixi's tone was somewhat solemn.

However, Xiao Xiao stroked the wall of the cup with his fingers, and his tone even revealed a hint of smile, "I don't think I have said I want to help yet?"

Xiao Xiao doesn't think he is a petty person.

However, one should always have the right attitude when asking someone to do something for you.

What's more, they don't have a familiar relationship with each other.

This is so rude... isn't it a bit unkind?
It's not like he has to rush over to help the other person.

……

"……Feel sorry."

Meng Jixi was silent for a while, and realized that his attitude when he spoke earlier was not very good. "I was too anxious and did not control my emotions well."

The voice was a little low.

He seemed frustrated by his own gaffe.

He really still lacks exercise.

It's so easy to lose your composure.

……

"Master Xiao."

Meng Jixi suddenly shouted in a deep voice, with a completely different tone from before, revealing a bit of depression and anger, but just as Xiao Xiao was waiting for the next words, the microphone fell silent again.

"Ok?"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask.

It seems that this is not a small problem, which makes Meng Jixi so hesitant?
……

“…Someone died.”

"more than one."

If it weren't for the shallow breathing sound, Xiao Xiao almost thought that the other party had hung up the phone.

Just when Xiao Xiao was waiting for Meng Jixi's words somewhat carelessly, the sudden words from the opponent made him a little confused.

Someone died?

More than one?
So, what to do with him?
Is it...

"This situation is very similar to the last bar serial murder case."

"so……"

Although Meng Jixi didn't continue speaking, Xiao Xiao understood what he meant.

So you come to see him?
……

That's often the case.

Xiao Xiao had said before that Yaojian was short of "food". Look, a fat worm just came in front, and now another one is delivered to the door?

He lowered his eyelids to block the cold light in his eyes.

"where?"

"what?"

Meng Jixi was stunned by Xiao Xiao's inexplicable words.

"Where shall we meet?"

Xiao Xiao explained with understanding.

"Oh."

Meng Jixi suddenly realized, and was somewhat dissatisfied with his own slow reaction.

He gave the name of a coffee shop near Yanda University.

"I am coming now."

After saying that, Xiao Xiao simply hung up the phone.
