Chapter 304 Retreat

Li then chatted a lot with Nozomi, but most of the time it was Nozomi who did the talking, and Li was just a spectator, chiming in a few words from time to time.

When the time came in the evening, Xicai had no choice but to stop talking and reluctantly sent Li out of the door.

"Brother, how about I send you downstairs again?" Xi looked at Li's face and suggested.

"There is no need for this little journey. You'd better have a good rest. Children are in good health if they go to bed early and get up early."

"Big brother... Even if I am not yet a minor, I am still sixteen years old. You are talking as if I am less than ten years old..."

Xi complained slightly.

"...That's just right. You can send me out and we can go shopping together. I told you right? Will I buy you a mobile phone?"

Li suddenly changed her mind, grabbed Xi's left wrist with one hand, and brought her to him with just a little force.

"Eh heh heh? Big brother, I really don't need it..."

Xi immediately refused in a panic and tried to free his hand, but unfortunately, Li's grip was too firm. Although he did not hold on tightly, it was basically impossible for Xi to pull his hand out.

"Haha... I let you not escape in time. Is that okay now? It's too late to regret it now~"

Li now smiles like an uncle who is a human trafficker in his thirties or forties who specializes in abducting little girls.

"Brother, are you a bad guy?"

Xi, who was firmly controlled, had no choice but to counterattack weakly with completely non-offensive words.

"Xi, have you ever seen a bad guy who would offer to buy you a mobile phone?"

Li reached out and flicked a stupid hair on top of Xi's head and asked with a smile.

"Well...that's what human traffickers do."

Please tell the truth.

"Then what do you think I, a human trafficker, will do next?"

Li directly closed the door behind Xi, completely cutting off Xi's escape route.

"Brother, my key is still inside..."

Nozomi tried to struggle one last time.

"Oh, really? What's in that bulging pocket of yours?"

Li pointed at Nozomi's pocket.

"..."

Xi suddenly covered his pocket with guilt.

"Big brother is so bad..."

"Yes, yes, I am the worst, so let's go? My lovely sister Xi?"

"Well……!"

Nozomi's cheeks suddenly turned redder.

……

He said he was "coming here to take a look", but he didn't expect to stay with Xi for so long... and even drag her out to go shopping? Fortunately, I am quite free.

Li and Xi walked in the night market, one to the left and one to the right, and sometimes they even became one behind the other because of the crowd.

Looking at Xina's little hand holding her wrist, and then at her happy smiling face, Li also smiled unconsciously.

Originally I just came out to buy a mobile phone, but I didn't expect that this girl couldn't stop her interest once she got interested. She insisted on staying outside for a while. Originally, she pulled her forward by herself, but now she took the initiative to hold her back. Own?

"Brother, the barbecue over there looks delicious!"

Xi seemed to see something good again, and then she pulled Riko and ran over.

Arriving in front of a barbecue truck, Xi looked at the several meat skewers placed on the grill with bright eyes, then turned to look at Li, "Brother, I'll treat you this time, and I'll keep making you pay." It’s not very good either…”

Xi also visited several food stalls before. She didn't want to buy anything at first, but just wanted to satisfy her eyesight. However, after she walked away reluctantly, Li bought several copies for her on her own initiative, which immediately left her confused. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't retreat. In the end, I could only destroy all the food after saying thank you softly.

Li smiled and handed Xi a tissue, gesturing for her to wipe off a chopped green onion stuck to her mouth, "I didn't expect that you have such a big appetite despite your small body? You can't tell a person's face, Miss Xi?"

"Well... I just thought that big brother you would want to eat..."

Xi blushed and said harshly.

"Okay, okay, I want to eat it, so give me a bunch and add more chilies."

Li didn't completely deny Xi a treat. Anyway, her living expenses were provided by Mebius, and the money was probably the funds approved by Mei to Mebius, and it was almost the end of the month, so she didn't need to help. I want to save money, but what happened to the last bit of happiness before next month’s living expenses arrive?

"Hmm...Uncle, here are two skewers of this, ah, you don't need to put chili pepper in both skewers..."

After Xi told the boss about her request, she and Li waited in front of the stall.

"...Brother, where do you live now?" While waiting, Nozomi and Li chatted about this issue.

"In a villa not far or near from here."

"That villa must be very big, right?"

Xi said with some admiration, "Big brother is so amazing that he can actually afford to buy a villa. I heard others say that this type of house seems to cost a lot of money to buy."

"Yeah...it's amazing, but unfortunately, the owner of this villa is not me."

"Eh? Brother, are you just a tenant?"

"Not even the tenants. At least I haven't spent a penny since I've lived there for so long. At most, I just helped the owner of the villa order takeout."

"Oh... Then besides you, eldest brother, how many people are living there? If only a few people live in a large villa, wouldn't it be too deserted?"

"There are two people living there now. If you add me, there will be three. It's okay for three people to live in a villa. At least we can still talk to each other in normal times."

"It's great to have so many people together..."

Xi murmured in a low voice, remembering the room where she lived alone. Although the living conditions were very good, she still felt a little lonely without anyone familiar to chat with in normal times.

Li heard Xi's mumbling, but didn't react to it. If it was his own villa, it would be fine. He could bring Xi also in to live together, but it was Alicia's villa. Although If she told her, she would probably agree happily, but if it was not necessary, Li didn't want to trouble her.

[I think you can bring this human girl over to live with you. 】

While Li was thinking, His words also intervened.

"It's really strange. This is the first time I've seen you say so many things because of a little girl."

Li clicked her tongue in her heart.

[It is natural to treat special people with special care. As the carrier of the former apostle, this girl still has a role. 】

"for example?"

Li asked casually.

[For example, as one of your retreat options in the future. 】

"..."

【Are you surprised? I was also surprised. I didn’t expect that such a special talent would exist. That’s right, for the sixth place... I must not have fully woken up at that time, right? So it's normal not to know about the existence of this kind of human being. 】
