Chapter 1009 Liyuan Opera Player X Republic of China General 7
Gu Yubai was naturally willing to stay with Shen Xi for a while longer, and since there was really no way to contact Yu Yu now, this was the only way.
The two reached a consensus and walked side by side on the way home.
There was an indescribable feeling in the atmosphere. A cold wind blew, making this already cold autumn night even more chilling.
After Gu Yubai reacted, he immediately took off his coat and put it on Shen Xi.
This action brought the two people closer together.
"Thank you."
"fine."
But this good atmosphere didn't last long before it was broken.
Suddenly a child ran over. Because he was running so fast, he didn't notice Shen Xi and the others at all and bumped into them.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Yubai supported the man and asked him with a frown. Shen Xi shook his head.
He didn't lie. The boy in front of him was very thin, and it seemed that he didn't have any flesh on his body. How could he hurt him?
Shen Xi looked at the young man in front of him. He had dark skin and the only cotton coat he wore to keep out the cold was flakes.
"sorry sir."
While apologizing, he knelt on the ground and picked up the scattered buns.
But before he could pick it up, he heard the policeman's insults from behind.
When Shen Xi heard this, he looked over and saw a man in patrol uniform chasing after him with a baton.
When the child saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He didn't even care about the steamed bun that he had just regarded as a treasure and wanted to run away.
Shen Xi simply reached out and stopped the man. He didn't want to take the kid to the police station, but wanted to help him.
When the patrolman rushed over and saw Gu Yubai, he dared not say a word. He looked at Shen Xi who was following him, but was holding the hand of the little thief.
For a moment, he even doubted whether the little thief had any connection with Gu Yubai.
But the next words made him feel relieved.
"What happened?"
Shen Xi had no right to ask this question, but Gu Yubai was not someone who couldn't read people's expressions. He was standing next to Shen Xi and could feel the changes in his emotions and knew what he wanted to do.
"This little thief has been coming to our place to steal steamed buns one after another. We didn't catch him the last few times, but today we finally caught him and he chased us here."
The policeman spoke hesitantly. Although he knew Gu Yubai, he had never met him before. Now he started to stutter as he stood in front of him.
Gu Yubai didn't notice this abnormality. To be precise, he didn't want to care about it. After all, he only had Shen Xi in his heart.
But he didn't say anything later. He opened the topic, and the rest was left to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi also knew what he meant, so he continued his words: "I think this child is also a poor man, it's just a few steamed buns, can you let him go?"
When Shen Xi spoke, he was talking to the patrolman, but now with Gu Yubai present, how could the patrolman dare to say anything more?
He looked at Gu Yubai again, hoping that he could give him some clear instructions.
"Mr. Shen asks you, just answer."
How high must one's status be to be able to have Gu Yubai call him "sir"?
The patrolman was not stupid. He immediately understood the meaning of his words and realized that he could not offend Shen Xi.
I immediately agreed with him: "Of course, of course, these steamed buns are not a lot of money."
After saying that, he made an excuse to leave, not wanting to stay even a second longer.
After the policeman walked away, Shen Xi squatted down and looked the kid in the eye: "Take this steamed bun. It's fine today and before. If you steal again in the future, the police will be merciless."
The child had not yet recovered from the shock and could only nod blankly.
"If you understand, leave now. It's too late now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the child ran away.
Shen Xi was still squatting there, watching the child's back as he left. He almost forgot that he had been living without food for many years.
For a moment, it seemed as if I saw my own shadow.
He just squatted there, watching intently, until his cold palm was replaced by another hot palm, and then he came to his senses.
"what happened?"
"It's okay, I just saw my own shadow."
Shen Xi said it directly, and Gu Yubai couldn't hide the pain in his eyes after hearing it, but at the moment he was in no position to say anything to comfort him.
"I'm a little tired, but fortunately, we're almost there."
After Shen Xi was helped up by him, he looked towards a small building not far away.
"Third Master, I'm here. It's getting late, you should go back too."
Gu Yubai, who originally wanted to go into the house with him to ask for a glass of water, stopped moving forward after hearing his words.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now...it's getting late, you should go to bed early."
"Ah."
Shen Xi stood at the door, watching him and looking back every three steps.
Looking at him like this, the sadness in my heart seemed to disappear at this moment.
After everyone had left, Wangcai appeared and reminded Shen Xi that he seemed to have not returned the clothes.
Shen Xi's fingers slowly touched the edge of the leather jacket, and a smile appeared on his face: "How can we meet again if we don't forget each other?"
