Chapter 29: Your acting skills are too fake

"It's fine...it's fine..."

The little boy carefully checked around Pa Duo, and after confirming that she was intact, he patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, his heart that had been hanging all this time finally landed steadily.

Seeing that the little boy cared so much about her own safety, Patuo was a little moved, but also a little embarrassed. After all, she just confidently thought that she would not be discovered this time, but she didn't expect to be severely slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Patuo took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Are you waiting here just to wait for me to show up?"

"That's right." The little boy admitted frankly, his clear eyes were full of undisguised worry and concern, "I remember that the righteous thief sister used to come here to take a nap, but it disappeared inexplicably for a while, so I'm a little worried."

Hearing this, Pa Duo couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, but then she seemed to think of something, and asked with a complicated expression: "You...will you wait here every day?"

"It's not every day." The little boy replied truthfully, "After all, I promised Sister Yi Thief to keep the secret, and find a way to bypass Brother Lie and Sister Aponia. Such opportunities don't come every day, but as long as there is a chance, I'll come and wait and see"

Patuo's nose was sour, and a moved smile appeared on his face: "Little guy, I'm very glad that you miss me so much, it's really not in vain to send you supplies."

At the end, she couldn't help but stepped forward and rubbed the little boy's head: "Also, thank you for keeping it secret for me."

The little boy scratched the bridge of his nose shyly: "It's not a big deal... But, sister righteous thief, did you encounter some difficult problems to disappear for so long?"

"Uh, this is..."

Faced with the little boy's questioning, Patuo couldn't help evasive and hesitant, and didn't know how to answer for a while. To tell the truth, I felt that my reputation was damaged, but to tell a lie, I felt a little sorry for the person in front of me. A sincere little boy...

When the little boy saw that Paduo was silent for a long time, he obviously misunderstood something. Hesitation flashed in his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he finally broke his heart, gritted his teeth and proposed to Paduo: "Yes, if If you encounter difficulties that are difficult to solve, should you try to ask Brother Lie for help? Although Brother Lie looks scary, he is actually a very kind and good-spoken person, and I, I will also intercede for Sister Yi Thief !"

At the end, as if to dispel Patuo's worries, he added: "don't worry, if brother lie knows what you have done for the nursing home, he will be happy to help you! Sister Aponia too!"

The little boy was confident about this, and patted his small chest confidently assured: "As long as they step out, no matter what kind of difficulty they are, they will definitely be able to solve it easily!"

Seeing the little boy's enthusiasm, Pa Duo couldn't help but feel even more guilty, wiped off the cold sweat that didn't really exist, and quickly waved his hands: "No need, no need... I'm really fine... The reason why I didn't come this time is because It's because, it's because..."

In a panic, Pa Duo didn't care about so much anymore, and immediately lied: "Ah, yes! It's because I went to a place far away to buy goods, that's why I disappeared for so long..."

Seeing Pa Duo's poor acting skills, the little boy rolled his eyes and complained angrily: "Sister Yi Thief, your acting skills are too fake, right?"

"Hey hey... wait!"

——Lie, brother?

Just when Pa Duo was thinking of fooling around with a smirk, he suddenly remembered the key content that had been ignored in the previous conversation with the little boy. No wonder he always felt as if he missed something.

Patuo couldn't help recalling that night, when she appeared with Aponia to rescue her brother who was in dire straits and was so powerful.

——It should be the name of the elder brother.

Combined with what the little boy just said, Pa Duo was already sure in her heart, but in order to ensure that her guess was correct, she still pretended not to know him, and asked the little boy for confirmation: "Brother Lie? Who is he? New employee at the nursing home?"

The little boy shook his head lightly: "No, he is our 'family', just like sister Aponia...but he was admitted to the nursing home before, but he got along with us very quickly. He is a very powerful person. He is a nice, gentle, patient and talkative guy, although he looks scary, but he just looks scary, but he is actually very easy to get along with!"

——'Family'... It seems that the eldest brother is very popular with the children, and he is really a good person.

——Speaking of which, that elder brother helped me twice for free, and once was a life-saving grace. Afterwards, not only did I not find a way to repay him, but instead I avoided him in this way and regarded him as a scourge...I always feel It doesn't seem very good.

——But, he is so strong, what else can't he do?And I am so weak, how can I help the other party?

Seeing that Pa Duo was in a trance, as if he was thinking about something, the little boy thought that Pa Duo was hesitating whether to accept assistance, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said eagerly: "Sister Yi Thief, don't hesitate, let's go to Brother Lie ! He must have a way to help you!"

The little boy brought Patuo's thoughts back to reality, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she explained with a wry smile: "But I'm really fine, so you don't have to worry, I'm the famous 'Twilight Street Thief' , how could it overturn..."

"Ah, Kai, so you are here."

Before the words fell, a sudden, flat male voice suddenly inserted into the conversation between the two.

The little boy and Patuo were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the source of the sound.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, the little boy's eyes lit up immediately, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face, and he trotted up to meet him: "Brother Lie!"

Seeing this, the 'Brother Lie' who was not much taller than him said something like an old lady: "Okay, okay, I'm here, don't rush over here in such a hurry, don't fall."

The little boy showed a mischievous smile: "hehehe, anyway, brother lie is so strong, he will definitely not watch me fall to the ground!"

Hearing this, Lie thought for a while, and replied: "How about I won't help you next time, and let you learn a lesson, and you won't do it again in the future."

The little boy immediately changed his face: "Oh, then I won't run away from now on."

"That's the best." Lie nodded, no longer entangled, turned to look at Patuo who was silent, and asked, "So, who is this?"

The little boy immediately wanted to introduce this kind-hearted, righteous thief sister who robbed the rich and helped the poor for his beloved brother Lie, but he remembered the agreement with the righteous thief sister, and his face froze on the spot.

He turned his head and cast a questioning look at Patuo.

"Ugh……"

Patuo looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, trying to suppress the fear and the urge to escape in his heart, took a step forward tremblingly, and said actively: "Let me do it myself."

Chapter 30: One more thing

——Well, in the end, I still couldn't hide.

Thinking of this, Patuo sighed helplessly: "Let me do it myself."

Hearing this, Lie turned his gaze, carefully looked at this cool-dressed girl with short hair, and suddenly said: "Ah, it's you, we meet again."

Patuo nodded with complicated eyes: "Well, I didn't expect you to recognize me..."

Lie nodded and replied, "Of course, my memory has always been very good."

The aura of the other party is still very terrifying, like a fierce beast that wants to choose someone to devour, it is the same as when we first met, and it has not weakened in the slightest. She couldn't help trembling, and she was also constantly afraid in her heart, but she was determined not to avoid it anymore.

Besides, she could see that Kai's attitude of admiring Lie was from the bottom of his heart - their interaction just now is the best evidence.

This alone is enough to explain a lot of problems.

——The terrifying aura can only show that he is very strong, but not his character. I shouldn't be affected by that aura and assume that my savior is a dangerous person who cannot be touched.

——Kay is right, this big brother just looks scary, but he is actually very easy to get along with. Not only can he lend a helping hand to himself who has never met twice without asking for anything in return, but he can also get along with the children in the nursing home, Apparently he is a rare and kind person in Twilight Street.

——At least, express your gratitude in person!

After taking several deep breaths in a row, Patuo finally plucked up the courage, and bowed deeply to Lie: "Well, thank you for your help twice before, thank you very much."

——Forgive Pa Duo, as a native of Twilight Street, Zhang Yu, who has been struggling since he was a child, has not even attended a day of school, this is already the most formal and solemn way of thanking her and a speech she can think of.

Lie helped her up without saying a word, shook his head and said, "It's just a trivial matter, don't take it to heart."

Kai stared blankly at the interaction between the two, and burst out laughing: "What, so you two have known each other for a long time."

In order to prevent this big brother from revealing all his embarrassing things like last time, Patuo said first: "Yes, this... Brother Lie is my savior!"

Kai suddenly realized and hammered his palm: "Oh, no wonder you don't want to ask brother lie for help. It turns out that you don't want to cause extra trouble to your savior."

Hearing this, Lie frowned at Patuo and said, "Huh? Are you in trouble again?"

"No no no! Really no!"

Patuo immediately shook her head into a rattle in anxiety, and then explained: "Don't think too much, I'm just here to deliver supplies! I didn't encounter any difficulties!"

——I originally wanted to take another nap, but now the plan is obviously ruined.

Kai stared at Patuo suspiciously: "Really?"

Patuo said decisively: "Pearls are not so real!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lie suddenly found a blind spot: "Wait, you said you were here to deliver supplies? But we didn't order anything, and we have no money to pay you."

Patuo quickly waved his hand: "No money, no money."

Lie asked again: "Is it to repay my kindness?"

"Although there are also reasons for this, ah ah, listen to me to explain..."

So so.

so and so.

After spending a lot of effort, Pa Duo finally explained the whole story clearly. Under intense questioning, she even revealed her own identity and previous deeds.

Originally, Pa Duo was ready to be condemned and sent to the police station. This is not a big deal. Anyway, when she was a fledgling, she often went to that place. After she went in, she escaped from prison. It's no big deal to be caught by those enemies, or to be squatted by the strangers you met that night.

However, unexpectedly, after hearing all this, Lie's performance was very flat, he just nodded silently, his expression unchanged: "I see."

Patuo asked a little dumbfounded: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Hmm..." Lie lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Uh...thank you for everything you have done for the nursing home?"

Pa Duo stomped her feet, emphatically saying, "I, I'm a thief!"

Lie said inexplicably: "I know, what's the problem?"

Mao Mao was greatly shocked: "Hey!? A good person like you, shouldn't you condemn my behavior and then turn me over to the police station!?"

Lie's dumb hair shook, and he tilted his head slightly and asked, "But aren't you a righteous thief? If you rob the rich and give to the poor in a place like Dusk Street, isn't that doing good deeds?"

"...so you think so."

"I'm not that rigid. What's more, in the place of Twilight Street, the usual legal concept of good and evil is useless. Even if someone proposes it, no one will follow it, let alone implement it. Under such circumstances, obeying orders The law can neither punish evil and promote good, nor can it protect the environment and the people, nor can it restore order, nor even protect itself, so why do birds use things they don’t have?”

It was another eye-popping statement. After Lie showed his flexible moral bottom line, Patuo immediately opened her eyes. She originally thought that Lie was an upright and good person, and she must hate this kind of violation of laws and disciplines. To be so bold and arrogant...

too strong!As expected of brother lie!

In the bottom of Pa Duo's heart, he couldn't help feeling a little longing.

Unknowingly, she was not as scared as she was at the beginning, and the frequency of body shaking dropped significantly as the conversation progressed, and she was able to relax more.

Kai keenly observed this phenomenon. He took the initiative to pat Patuo's face, gave her a thumbs up, and showed a sunny smile on his face, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, brother lie is fine Get along!"

——One thing to say, indeed.

In the end, Lie made a conclusion, which can be regarded as a reassurance for Pado: "In short, don't worry, I won't do that, and thank you for doing these things for the nursing home. If you encounter trouble in the future, You can come to me, and I can help if I can.”

After a pause, he reminded again: "Oh, by the way, I'm not very good at things that can be solved without force. If it happens to you, then I suggest you go to Alponia to discuss it. If you come to me, maybe would screw things up."

Patuo replied with a smile: "Well, I will!"

"One more thing, since you like to take a nap here so much, why don't you just live here? Abonia is definitely welcome."

"Forget it, stay in the nursing home, you have to abide by the access control and lights-off time, right? I remember Miss Aponia still maintains such rules, right?"

"Yes."

Pa Duo's clear and lively sky blue eyes turned a few times, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "That's not okay, after all, the "righteous thief" you call has big customers to visit at night But thank you brother Lie for your kindness!"

Since Patuo has his own ideas, Nalie will not force him: "Oh, then whatever you want, you can come over whenever you want to sleep in the future. If you want to sleep in a big bed, you can also tell me, and I will give it to you. Get a single room and come out."

only……

——Brother Lie?

——Strange name.

Lie looked at the girl's beautiful and lovely appearance. She seemed to be older than the children at most, and could be considered as a child. It always felt weird to be called by her like that. Lie tried to correct: "One more thing, just call me Lie."

Pa Duo stood upright with a smile and said, "Okay Boss Lie, no problem Boss Lie!"

— even weirder.

"...Forget it, whatever you want."

Chapter 31: Aponia, you are a real punishment!

Lie originally came here to look for Kai, but now that he has been found, and he also took this opportunity to get acquainted with Patuo, he should go back and do other things.

Considering that Paduo is very familiar with the nursing home, and there is a Kai accompanying him, there is obviously no need to worry about it here, so Lie took the initiative to end the conversation, and moved the several boxes of supplies sent by Paduo into the warehouse and put them away neatly , leaving a sentence of 'sorry, I still have something to do, please feel free to do it later' and left on my own.

After Kai learned of another purpose of Paduo's trip, he first asked Paduo if he needed a clean single room, and after getting a negative answer, he trotted back to find his little friend without leaving any trouble.

In a blink of an eye, Pa Duo was the only one left in the warehouse, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved when she saw the direction in which the two left.

But thinking about it, with the strength of big brother Lie, there is really no need to fortify a small shrimp like her, but it is still very happy that big brother can trust himself so much.

——Okay, now I can finally have a good night's sleep!

Patuo was in a good mood, humming a little song he composed himself, picked a comfortable position in the warehouse, then lay down happily, closed his eyes, and the pressure and fatigue accumulated just now due to confronting Lie and going through the heartbeat roller coaster immediately melted away. She fell into a deep drowsiness, and soon she fell asleep.

the other side.

Lie sorted the dried seafood into categories, sealed them in containers one by one, and moved them into another warehouse to arrange them neatly. He checked them several times during the process, and finally closed the door to make sure everything was safe before closing the door and leaving.

Then he went to Aponia.
