Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"Some of those guys were just doing it for fun, and some of them might be covering up their real purpose."

For example, Hanabi, even when the two of them were not really interacting with each other, she was always finding ways to point the way for herself.

"Now that the Harmony Festival is about to begin, Pinocchio seems to be in a state of disarray..."

"The family has invited so many guests who shouldn't be here. I'm sure things will get even more chaotic as we get closer to the Harmonious Music Ceremony."

Hearing this, the robin covered his forehead with his hands in pain.

"I asked my brother about this, but I couldn't get any answer. I always feel like they're hiding something from me."

"is it?"

Zhu Qing was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps and stopped.

"Your brother is here."

The robin paused, then stood up.

Although she hasn't seen anyone yet, Zhu Qing probably won't tease her at this time.

He doesn't like to play pranks on others, but he will make some small jokes when he is in a good mood. He is very tactful and doesn't make people mind.

Soon, a hand appeared at the door and knocked gently.

Zhu Qing also stood up.

"elder brother."

the robin called out.

"Due to the heavy workload of the Oak family, there has been a slight delay. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Serious words."

Zhu Qing nodded to Zhou Ri as a greeting.

Sunday also smiled back, and he glanced at the two of them imperceptibly.

The seats were not next to each other, but there were a few empty seats between them. They looked neatly arranged and it didn't look like they were just sat there on the spur of the moment.

They should know how to behave when they are together.

"Thank you Mr. Zhuqing for your help. You saved a lot of losses for the guests and the family."

If Zhu Qing had not taken action, the family’s losses from the factory explosion would probably have been more than ten times higher.

"It's just a little effort."

Sunday's behavior was still elegant and calm.

"Although I'm here today as the head of the Oak family, we're old friends, so let's be casual about our conversation. How about that?"

"The guest does as the host does."

After hearing Zhuqing's words, Zhou Ri made a gesture of invitation.

He sat down only after Bamboo Green and Robin had sat down.

"Brother, won't this affect your work?"

Under normal circumstances, the girl's voice wouldn't change even if she was nervous. But now, perhaps because of her voice or because she was just more nervous, Zhu Qing could indeed hear a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"It's okay, Mockingbird."

Sunday shook his head. "If my sister can't have fun when she comes home, I'll feel like all my work is in vain."

"I had a lot of fun and didn't have any problems."

When you're having fun, you won't mind minor flaws.

"How about Mr. Zhuqing? I heard you went to 'The Blue Hour'. I haven't been there in a while, so I don't know the details. I wonder what your experience was like?"

"..."

How about we just say thank you?

The blues moment...

Anyone who knows that place would inevitably misunderstand something.

Even though he and the robin were innocent, he was suddenly asked this question. It was not right to explain, and it was not right not to explain.

You know how to pose difficult questions.

"Pinocone's dream is well-deserved."

"Just have fun. Speaking of which, I'm afraid my visit has disrupted your trip, so I hope you won't blame me."

"Since we're here at Pinocchio, there's nothing wrong with cooperating with the work under reasonable circumstances."

"Haha, Mr. Zhuqing is quite different from the Sea Patrol Ranger I know."

“Everyone has a different personality.”

The two chatted indifferently about trivial matters. Robin sat beside them, holding a cup and looking at them, drinking from time to time, as if she was afraid that the topic would be diverted to her.

"Actually, I didn't come here specifically to express my gratitude, but I wanted to ask Mr. Zhuqing if he knew something."

Zhu Qing nodded to show his understanding.

"Mr. Zhuqing should be aware that the family had sent invitations widely, even to the devastated Annihilation Gang. However, they fell apart overnight upon arrival, and Duke Netherfire was killed on the spot."

Sunday's tone was serious. "As far as we know, the person who caused all this was a sea patrolman. I wonder if Mr. Zhuqing knows anything about that person?"

"The connections between the Sea Rangers aren't very close. Sometimes, even if we meet face to face, even I can't tell if the other person is a Sea Ranger without revealing my identity."

"I'm sorry, but the person you're talking about doesn't fit the description of my ranger friends."

As he spoke, Zhu Qing looked at Zhou Ri with curiosity.

"Has that man come to Pinocchio?"

"Yes."

"Now that we're in Pinocchio, it shouldn't be difficult for the family to find him, right?"

Zhu Qing reached out and picked up the cup.

"The Sea Patrol Ranger was also a guest invited by the family, and the family does not want to disturb guests who come here. Moreover, what the ranger did was also a good thing for the family."

Even if the Annihilation Gang cannot cause any effective damage, it will inevitably scare those guests who fear destruction.

After listening to Zhou Li's words, Zhu Qing paused in drinking water and put the cup down.

"I'm sorry I couldn't bring you any useful information."

"Mr. Zhuqing, I'm the one who caused trouble in the first place. Even if there's an apology, it should be me who should apologize."

Zhou Li's eyes were on Zhu Qing most of the time, so he could naturally see Zhu Qing's pauses.

"To be honest, our family has had some minor problems recently. The Harmonious Music Ceremony is approaching, and we are inevitably a little nervous about various things. I hope Mr. Zhuqing won't blame us."

"I understand. It's such a grand festival after all. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

"On behalf of my family, I would like to thank Mr. Zhuqing for his help."

Sunday stood up and said, "As for the thank-you gift, I'll ask Robin to give it to you later. The family's work is still very busy. Seeing that you are all right, I won't bother you any more."

"Brother, along the way, the people in the Hound family have been very responsible, so nothing should go wrong."

Hearing the robin's words, Sunday looked over.

"As your elder brother, it's inevitable that I care about you more. I hope you don't blame me."

The robin shook his head.

"My brother is my only relative in this world. How could I blame him for caring about him?"

Sunday smiled.

"As your brother, I'm proud of you for the journey you've taken. I sincerely hope you're doing well."

"Yeah, I understand, brother."

Robin placed a hand on his chest and nodded.

"Mr. Zhuqing, may I have a moment with you?"

?

Zhu Qing slowly typed a question mark and glanced at the robin imperceptibly.

At this moment, Xiaoniao was three parts confused and ninety-seven parts nervous.

Sunday smiled and said, "This conversation is not between the host and the guest, but just a conversation between friends."

......

Bamboo Green and Sunday came out, and Robin sat inside waiting.

"My sister didn't cause you too much trouble, did she?"

“After coming to Pinocchio, Miss Robin helped me a lot.”

The two of them were walking and talking.

"She left Pinocchio when she was young, and when she was in Epsom, she had to practice singing so hard that she didn't have many friends."

"Now I can see that she has made a good friend, and I am sincerely happy for her."

Zhou Li looked at Zhu Qing and said, "When I chat with her on weekdays, she often mentions you."

"..."

"I wonder if you've noticed during your chat that she actually admires you."

A person who dares to say no to all injustice is indeed worthy of admiration.

When Zhuqing was chatting with the robin, he occasionally talked about his own things, but in fact the girl was more envious.

Birds are born to fly, but if they want to break through the clouds and tell the sky about their existence, they need more than just wings.

And courage.

“There are many things I need to learn from her.”

Humility is something that everyone who has used it says is good.

"Mr. Zhuqing, you are too polite. Even among the people I know, your qualities are one in a million."

"It's just... Mr. Zhuqing, I only have this one sister, and I don't want her to get hurt, so..."

"This is my request as a brother. I hope you can protect her no matter what happens."

"she is my friend."

Sunday didn't reply, but just stopped walking. The two of them had already reached the door.

"Finally, I have one more thing to say, and this is just my personal opinion."

He looked at Zhuqing.

"To be honest, I really don't like you."

"..."

......

Zhuqing came back quickly, and the robin in the room was already pacing back and forth. She was indeed very nervous.

She did not forget that Zhu Qing and her brother had an unpleasant acquaintance, and if she had not appeared, the situation would probably have gotten out of control.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Robin's heart almost jumped into his throat.

"Bamboo Green."

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"

Zhu Qing smiled.

Isn’t this asking knowingly?

"Stop teasing me, are you and your brother having a fight?"

Zhuqing leaned against the door.
