Chapter 6 Who is the traitor? 3
"Meng Jinjin, look behind you."
Meng Jinjin sneered: "Why should I look behind?"
"There's a strange man on the road behind. I'm not kidding you. Look."
Seeing that Wei Xi's expression didn't seem like a lie, Meng Jinjin turned around and looked back, saying angrily, "There's nothing behind, you really lied to me."
"I didn't lie to you." Wei Xi pointed to the back and said, "That person is so strange. Why does he keep bending over and squatting while walking?"
"Why didn't I see it? If you're lying to me, I'll make you pay!" Meng Jinjin finally couldn't overcome her curiosity and turned her head away, "Huh? Really? Why is he walking like that?"
Behind the sidewalk at the intersection, a middle-aged man in a dark green shirt was bending over, half squatting, and walking forward quickly. At this time, the red light at the intersection turned green, and several people who had stopped on the sidewalk walked forward one after another, and the man also quickened his pace.
"Maybe he is disabled." Meng Jinjin disagreed. Just as she was about to turn around, her eyes suddenly fixed, "Wei Xi, that person..."
Wei Xi was looking at the man curiously, and when he heard Meng Jinjin stop talking in the middle of her words, he asked in confusion, "Huh?"
"He is a thief!" Meng Jinjin covered her mouth and said in a low voice.
"Thief?"
Wei Xi totally didn't understand why Meng Jinjin said that.
Meng Jinjin nervously grabbed Wei Xi's hand and said, "Because I have encountered this kind of thing before. At that time, there was a thief who wanted to steal other people's things. I saw it, and before I could figure out what he wanted to do, I was threatened by his accomplices not to shout." She said guiltily, "I was too scared at the time, so I turned around and ran away. Later, I thought that if I encountered this kind of thing again, I must stand up bravely to stop it, but now..."
She looked at Wei Xi, holding Wei Xi's hand and trembling slightly: "I want to stop him, but I'm scared and don't know what to do."
Her mood seemed to be transmitted through Wei Xi's hand, and Wei Xi suddenly realized that she was not as bad as he imagined. Meng Jinjin, who was bullying in school, unexpectedly had such a kind and enthusiastic side.
Meng Jinjin's words also made Wei Xi's blood boil: "I'll help you."
But how can I help?
Wei Xi stared at the thief, only to see him still walking forward in the same posture. Looking in the direction he was moving, she saw a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was carrying a small dark red handbag on her shoulder. She was in a hurry and seemed to be worried about something. She didn't pay any attention to her surroundings.
Seeing that she was about to walk across the street, the thief became anxious. He quickened his pace, and as he was getting closer and closer to the middle-aged woman's bag, Wei Xi suddenly pulled Meng Jinjin and rushed over.
Meng Jinjin didn’t know what Wei Xi wanted to do, but the situation was urgent, so she didn’t ask any questions and just ran after Wei Xi.
Soon they ran to the middle-aged woman. The thief stopped in surprise when he saw two "Cheng Yaojin" suddenly appear. Wei Xi quickly let go of Meng Jinjin's hand and called out to the middle-aged woman who was also surprised: "Auntie, why are you here?"
"Who are you……"
The middle-aged woman was confused by this sudden address.
But Wei Xi didn't give her a chance to speak. He just put his arm around the middle-aged woman's right arm and said, "My brother went to pick up my aunt, so Jin Jin and I will pick up my aunt. Aunt, why did you come just now? We were so anxious."
As she spoke, she moved the middle-aged woman's bag from the right to the front and winked at Meng Jinjin.
Meng Jinjin understood everything immediately, and immediately stood to the left of the middle-aged woman and said loudly: "Aunt, let's go quickly." Then she lowered her voice and said, "There is a thief behind us, we are not bad people."
The middle-aged woman suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately forced a smile and said, "Oh, you two kids are so thoughtful. Let's go."
The three of them walked forward quickly. Wei Xi secretly looked back and found that the thief stood up and left angrily. Only then did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Only after they walked a long way did Wei Xi and Meng Jinjin let go of the middle-aged woman's hand.
"Thank you so much." The middle-aged woman said gratefully, "The thief must have seen me withdrawing money from the bank and followed me. My family is in the hospital, and if the money is lost, I will be worried to death. Thank you, little girl, you are so kind and brave."
"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Wei Xi and Meng Jinjin said in unison.
After saying goodbye to the middle-aged woman, Wei Xi and Meng Jinjin looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
There's nothing we can do, who made them just quarrelling?
"Oh, I never realized that you are so timid and cowardly at ordinary times, but you are quite capable at the critical moment." Meng Jinjin was the first to break the silence and praised Wei Xi, "I have to look at you with new eyes."
Wei Xi stuck out her tongue: "I'm going to look at you with new eyes too."
Although she didn't finish, Meng Jinjin immediately understood what Wei Xi meant. However, she did not respond to Wei Xi's words, but asked: "I have been bullying you, do you hate me?"
This question is really difficult for Mi Xi to answer, because she is not the original Mi Xi, so how can she know whether she hates you or not. However, after thinking about her recent experience, she honestly said: "I hate you very much. But your reaction just now was beyond my expectation, so I don't know whether I should still hate you now."
"Why do I feel like you've become a completely different person after getting sick?" Meng Jinjin stared at Wei Xi, amazed. "In the past, you would just keep your head down and remain silent. No matter what I say, you won't say a word or resist. Now you're much braver, it's like you've become a different person."
Meng Jinjin's words made Wei Xi a little nervous. She licked her dry lips and said, "What do you mean by a different person? Of course I am still me. Everyone grows up."
"But it's still far from the standard of my brother's girlfriend." Meng Jinjin curled her lips.
Wei Xi said unhappily, "When did I say that I grew up to be your brother's girlfriend? Your idea is too weird. Don't think that your brother is so good that he can charm all the girls."
She pointed at herself and said, "For example, I don't like your brother at all."
"No way, you don't like my brother?" Meng Jinjin asked in surprise.
"I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it!" Wei Xi said firmly, "But I envy you because your brother loves you very much. If possible, I want to have a brother like this."
Meng Jinjin said: "So you also think it's great and prestigious to have a brother like this. Humph, let me tell you, you're wrong."
Wei Xi said unhappily, "Can you calm down and listen to what I am saying? I said I want a brother who loves me, not an excellent brother. Your brother is very good to you, don't you feel it?"
Meng Jinjin did not answer. After a long while, she sighed and said, "I know... I have always known that my brother treats me very well..."
Her voice slowly trailed off: "But you don't understand how stressful it is to have a brother who is outstanding in every way."
I know.
I know it all.
Wei Xi answered silently in her heart, but she didn't speak. After all, Wei Xi is an only child now.
"My brother is too good, so everyone only sees him and uses his standards to measure me. I have tried very hard, but I still can't keep up with my brother. As long as I don't get full marks on the exam or don't get first place in the decathlon at the sports meet, I will be criticized. I don't really have any outstanding talents, let alone a genius, but I have done better than many people." Meng Jinjin became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes turned red. "Why do those people say that to me? My brother is very good to me, but the more he treats me like this, the more uncomfortable I feel, so I can't help but oppose him everywhere. But others tolerate me everywhere because of my brother, doesn't this make me even more miserable? No matter what I do, I can't escape my brother's shadow, I've had enough!"
Meng Jinjin's words were like a huge wave, hitting Wei Xi's heart.
Every word was something Wei Xi had thought of but dared not say.
"Forget it. I know you can't understand." Meng Jinjin turned around and was about to leave. "I won't target you in school anymore, but don't let what I said today leak out, otherwise I won't forgive you."
Looking at her leaving back, Wei Xi said loudly: "Meng Jinjin, I understand you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else what you said. This is a secret between us."
Meng Jinjin stopped, turned around and said with disdain: "Humph, who would have secrets with a loser like you."
"I'm not a loser!" Wei Xi said loudly, "One day, I will let you see how good I am! By then, even if you beg me to be your friend, I won't bother to pay attention to you."
"Okay, then let me wait and see!" Meng Jinjin suddenly smiled, "Since you are not a fan of my brother, I believe in you. Do your best."
"You have to work hard too!" Wei Xi said with clenched fists.
"Idiot! No matter how bad I am, I am still better than you. You should first try to get out of the last place." Meng Jinjin waved at her and left with a big laugh.
Wei Xi's newly ignited ambitions were completely dampened by Meng Jinjin's words.
Ahhh, why are the lessons in this world so difficult!
