Tang Siwen walked onto the construction site road.

Even the streetlights seemed dimmer here.

This road was probably several hundred meters long.

As she started walking, Tang Siwen suddenly realized something...

Why don't I just take a taxi back?

Yes, if I'm scared, I should just take a taxi.

The money I spent on this umbrella would have been enough for a taxi fare.

My thinking was a bit rigid.

But if I call a taxi now, the driver might not be too happy, considering it's less than a minute's drive.

Actually, it's the same as paying the starting fare.

But she had already entered the construction road where all the bricks had been pried up and barriers erected, about seventy or eighty meters from the main road.

Should I go back?

She now felt like she was walking in the middle of a dangerous bridge. Was she going to go back and take a detour, or rush to the end in one breath and cross the bridge? That was the question.

Forget it.

Let's just go...

Just then, she saw a red hat.

It was a worker wearing camouflage clothing, very dirty, with somewhat dark skin, walking towards her, carrying a bag of tools...

Tang Siwen was so frightened that she froze.

Then, she quickly retreated to the side, closer to the iron barrier separating the construction site.

She gripped the umbrella handle tightly, ready to fight.

She had decided that as long as the other party made any sudden movements, she would immediately attack his head with the umbrella...

But he's wearing a helmet.

Then I'll poke his eyes.

However, one shouldn't assume everyone is a bad person; that would be discrimination and impolite.

So, she tried to maintain as calm an expression as possible, not showing her vigilance.

Then, she saw the uncle look at her, their eyes even meeting, and he sized her up...

Why is he looking at me like that?

Tang Siwen's heart was in her throat, afraid that he would suddenly do something.

But he just walked and looked.

Then, his eyes scanned her, without any overly obvious expression, just observing.

And then, he walked straight past her.

So, he's not.

Tang Siwen looked back, and then suddenly realized that he was still turning his head, looking at her!

So, she quickly turned around, clutching the umbrella handle tightly.

It was as if all the strength in her body was concentrated into one point.

She decided to unleash all her strength at that moment.

Although her strength might not be much.

Perhaps, she still had to rely on others?

Maybe I should call my dad.

Walking while talking on the phone might make me braver.

And, if a real pervert appeared, he would be wary because I was on the phone.

After all, such people are like rats in the dark, afraid to appear openly and trying to avoid all danger as much as possible.

So, she took out her phone.

After a while, she dialed a number.

Beep, beep, beep—

Waiting for the other side to answer.

After ten seconds, the call was finally connected.

"Siwen, is something wrong?"

A man's voice, a little worried.

But, very gentle.

The moment she heard it, she felt much more at ease.

The fear in her heart completely dissipated at that moment.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I wanted to ask what today's homework is," Tang Siwen said.

That's right, she called Chen Yuan.

Not her dad.

Recently, her dad and the aunt he ‘cheated’ with seemed to be preparing to get married.

And he, perhaps related to this matter, had been calling her much less often.

Those few days she had a rare holiday and didn't live at school, he didn't ask her out.

In the past, after exams, he would ask about her grades, say Siwen was amazing, and then take her out to eat good food.

This time, he didn't even ask about the scores...

She didn't quite understand, and didn't dare to ask.

Asking might make her dad uncomfortable.

Because that aunt clearly didn't like her mom.

Love me, love my dog; hate me, hate my dog.

So, she wanted to call someone who wouldn't feel like she was putting them in a difficult position, someone who could keep chatting with her.

And, someone who cared about her.

………

When Tang Siwen called, Chen Yuan was very nervous, so when he spoke, he was particularly worried.

After all, her home was near that area.

If she really encountered a pervert, with her beauty, and her combat power so weak that she couldn't fight two rounds with a criminal, it would be extremely dangerous.

But when he heard her ask about homework, Chen Yuan immediately made a demonic sound: "Huh?"

Homework, you're asking me?

But I've finished all the school assignments and know what they are.

But Tang Siwen doesn't seem like someone who would slack off during evening self-study.

So, Chen Yuan asked concernedly, "Are you home yet?"

And this question was obviously the right one.

After a moment of silence, the other party replied: "I'm, on the way home."

After she said that, Chen Yuan understood.

She was afraid of walking at night, so she wanted to call him to give herself courage.

"Ok, if you're on the phone, the pervert will be a little wary."

So, Chen Yuan said in a rather somber tone: "Then, Big Sister, do you want me to take care of that son of a bitch you mentioned?"

Since it was to boost courage and bluff, just say something scary and make the criminal piss his pants.

"Pfft." But Tang Siwen couldn't hold it back and chuckled.

So cute.

It didn't sound like the sound that the expressionless Judge Bao would make.

"Hey, be serious, put on the act, don't break character," Chen Yuan sternly reminded.

"O-okay," Tang Siwen agreed seriously, and then put on the act, "Yeah, take care of him. He's too dishonest and greedy, just a leech."

"Yeah. Then should we also take care of Zhou Fu, that lazybones?"

"No, keeping her is useful," Tang Siwen denied. "She has big breasts, comfortable to use as a pillow."

"?"

Damn, so lucky?

The *yuri* situation is great.

"Alright, let's keep Zhou Fu. Although she's a little arrogant, she's still honest, and her daily tribute is generous," Chen Yuan said, spouting nonsense while calculating the time.

Actually, he didn't want the pervert to hear this and be wary of Big Sister Tang Siwen.

He just wanted to dispel some of her fear and escort her home.

He noticed that when the teacher asked people to raise their hands today, Tang Siwen originally wanted to raise her hand, but when they mentioned her dad picking her up, she put it down again.

After all, she came from a divorced family, and she should have reached that stage.

Not all divorced families are as harmonious as Zhang Chao's.

What's more, Tang Siwen's dad was forming a family with his affair partner.

Having a stepmother means having a stepfather.

This is all too true.

Squeezed in the middle, the end result is always feeling tired.

Tang Siwen's dad might love her very much and want to care for her, but if he was tired, he couldn't do both sides.

This is human nature.

Tang Siwen called him, and Chen Yuan could guess the reason.

She, who avoided suspicion so much, didn't ask her father for help at this time, but found him.

How could he fail such trust?

"Are you almost home?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Yeah, almost there... Ah!"

Suddenly, Tang Siwen made such a sound.

A sound of fright, unable to be suppressed.

Even a little painful.

Damn, lolicon pervert, I rnm!

Daring to show Big Sister Bao his filthy little sausage, I'll physically cut it off.

Time Stop!

"Close your eyes, Bao."

After saying this,

Chen Yuan immediately stopped the world.

Now, Li Tong's plainclothes colleague was a dozen meters ahead of him.

Li Tong told him to follow him but not to get too far away. Likewise, don't follow too closely, to avoid alerting the snake.

So, the two maintained this safe distance.

This construction site was very large, because it was a large residential complex. It was a few kilometers around it. So, even if the two were near the same construction site, Chen Yuan couldn't find her immediately.

So, all he could do was stop the world for Tang Siwen first.

Then, go find her.

Everything in this world was paused.

Pedestrians, pets, and even leaves suspended in the air.

And, the splashes of water from car wheels.

All frozen.

This is my ultimate and most powerful skill.

If he could, he could even stop those Middle Eastern pilot's planes.

He could, but there was no need.

Just like that, Chen Yuan walked around the construction site, intending to find Tang Siwen, and incidentally take care of that exhibitionist, to clear some obstacles for her to go home.

This could also be considered protecting my Haijing District.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, he finally saw Tang Siwen.

She sat on the ground, her body leaning unnaturally.

But, there was no sign of any exhibitionist?

With this doubt, Chen Yuan walked over.

Only then did he realize that she had sprained her foot and fallen to the ground.

And she closed her eyes as he asked.

Then it's okay.

I thought she encountered a little sausage.

Big Sister Bao's vision is still pure and flawless.

Thinking this, he turned around, preparing to go back and find Li Tong's colleague.

But halfway there, he turned his head and looked at Tang Siwen, who had been distracted and stepped into a pit, then twisted her ankle...

If she hadn't been talking to me on the phone, she probably wouldn't have twisted her ankle.

I do have some responsibility.

So, I shouldn't leave.

Also, this child looks a little too pitiful...

But more than that, it was because of her trust in him.

Without even any reason, she believed him and chose to close her eyes.

I'm almost becoming her trusted father.

Walking to the bus stop, Chen Yuan ended time stop.

The phone, because it was paused just now.

So, after time started flowing, it continued to connect.

"C-close my eyes?" Tang Siwen asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Didn't you encounter an exhibitionist?" Chen Yuan asked anxiously.

"N-no." Tang Siwen said weakly, "Can I open my eyes now?"

"Yeah," Chen Yuan said, then asked puzzledly, "Then what did you shout just now?"

"I..." Tang Siwen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Saw a big black rat."

"Then you should keep them closed."

Chen Yuan discovered that Tang Siwen usually spoke very directly.

Speaking her mind was her way of life.

But when she was lying, she would hesitate.

"Are you okay?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"N-no..." Tang Siwen replied, "I'm fine."

"Ok, I have a call coming in, I'll hang up first."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Yuan just like that, hung up the phone.

Then, he answered a strange call.

"Hello?" Chen Yuan said.

"Where did you go? I didn't see you," Li Tong's colleague's voice was a little anxious.

Chen Yuan remembered, he left his number.

"I thought I had something to do, so I went home first," Chen Yuan said.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" the other party asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I was afraid of disturbing the operation."

"... Oh, that's right," the other party quickly understood, then said, "Okay, then go back, be careful on the road. Call your sister Li Tong when you get back."

"Yeah, okay."

After Chen Yuan hung up the phone, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: How did she become sister Li Tong?

Is Li Tong spreading rumors everywhere?

Saying she's my sister, but I haven't received a luxury car.

I'm not that kind of unprincipled person.

My bottom line is, less than five eggs a month, it's impossible to sell my body.

What about the soul?

The asking price for the soul is even higher.

Her foot is twisted, she shouldn't be able to walk fast. Or rather, she's still there.

Thinking this, Chen Yuan quickened his pace.

Then, he caught up with her.

About five meters behind her.

She looks so pitiful.

Using an umbrella as a crutch, slowly moving forward.

Then, make it look like a chance encounter.

"Tang..."

Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, Tang Siwen suddenly grabbed the umbrella handle, turned around, and pointed the tip of the umbrella at him very vigilantly...

"The national standard Charlotte, huh?" Chen Yuan was speechless.

"..." Seeing Chen Yuan, Tang Siwen froze, put away her 'sword', and then said puzzledly, "You, why are you here?"

"I just met a friend, and now I'm going to take the bus in front, and then meet Xinyu to go home together," Chen Yuan explained.

"The bus stop is behind..." Tang Siwen pointed the sword behind Chen Yuan.

"Oh, that's right..." Chen Yuan pretended to realize, and then asked puzzledly, "Also, what's going on with you?"

"I felt someone following me from behind, and the pace was getting faster, so I thought it was a pervert."

Actually recognized me as a pervert, how awful!

Besides Xia Xinyu, who else would call me a pervert?

"I also saw you, so I was going to say hello," Chen Yuan looked down at her foot that wasn't fully touching the ground, and asked puzzledly, "Just now, did you twist your foot?"

Tang Siwen shook her head, denying it.

"Walk two steps if you're not sick," Chen Yuan said.

Then, Tang Siwen naturally walked towards him.

But the smile on her face was very tight.

It could be said that she, who was always unsmiling, was now smiling very hard.

"Then jump twice if you're not sick," Chen Yuan said.

Hearing this, Tang Siwen's expression immediately returned to normal: "I twisted it."

Fortunately, she's not that stubborn.

Not like some people, whose stubbornness can't be destroyed even by Thanos.

"How far is your home from here?" Looking at the girl whose foot was twisted so badly that she could barely move, Chen Yuan asked.

"There are still about two hundred meters..." Tang Siwen said.

"Then I'll send you back, it's not far anyway," Chen Yuan said, and reached out to take Tang Siwen's umbrella.

"..." Tang Siwen froze for a moment, and without much resistance, handed over the umbrella, then nodded, "Thank, thank you."

So, Chen Yuan reached out his hand, preparing to put his arm around her shoulder to support her.

However, at the same time, Tang Siwen raised her hands, preparing to put them on Chen Yuan's shoulders.

Eh, is she going to support me?

Eh, is she going to have me carry her?

The two of them froze simultaneously.

Then, Tang Siwen went to support Chen Yuan's arm.

And Chen Yuan was about to squat down again.

Going to carry her on his back?

Going to hug her?

No tacit understanding at all!

Forget it.

Anyway, it's just this little distance, let her feel the warmth and solid back of a father.

"Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

Chen Yuan squatted down directly.

"Thank, thank you," after another awkward thank you, Tang Siwen put her hands on the other's shoulders, and then slowly put her legs on either side.

And Chen Yuan stood up.

So light...

Feels more than a little lighter than Fu Zi.

Although Chen Yuan had never carried Fu Zi, he inexplicably felt that she would be a little heavy...

I don't know if this is judging by appearance.

But Tang Siwen was truly as light as an elf.

Just like that, he held the umbrella in one hand, and supported the other's thighs, intending to walk this section of the road, at least to the doorstep.

Tang Siwen, with her hands pressed on the other's shoulders, was embarrassed but more happy.

The sense of security was overwhelming.

He could always preserve my dignity when I was embarrassed.

Just like a father...

Suddenly, time stopped.

Chen Yuan's hand holding the umbrella fell gently.

Then, he used one hand to brush over her eyes, gently closing them.

Next, Chen Yuan walked to the man in the green military coat and casually opened his clothes...

Tsk, is that all?
