"......dislike."

Feng Ji's tone was cold and hard.

"It's the girl Wang Zhe likes to like the piano."

Wang Zhe?

Not a completely unfamiliar name.

Xiao Xiao thought of what the young friend said before.

Today they... seem to be with Wang Zhe to buy things?

The boy's next words verified his conjecture.

"That girl's birthday is coming soon. Today we will accompany Wang Zhe to help him choose the birthday gift for that girl."

"Is this a birthday gift that Wang Zhe likes?"

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows and eyes showed some doubts, "Why are you checking out?"

He read that right.

Feng Ji was standing in front of the cashier at that time.

Several of his classmates stood a little far behind him.

Thinking about it now, it has a bit of a clear distinction.

......

"Oh."

Feng Ji sneered.

He didn't immediately say anything.

He picked up the music box.

This is a clockwork music box.

He twisted the clockwork a few times.

......

"No sound?"

After waiting for a while, without waiting for the expected music, Xiao Xiao's face showed a little thoughtful look on his face.

"Of course there is no sound!"

The boy's suppressed voice showed a little mania.

"Will I buy it if there is a sound?!"

"They broke the music box and finally asked you to pay for it?"

Xiao Xiao's words of sharpening the truth made the boy stunned.

He finally looked up at Xiao Xiao.

"You... believe me?"

"I'm listening to you."

Xiao Xiao looked at the boy seriously.

There was no doubt on the face, nor was there any righteous indignation standing on the side of the boy.

......

The boy opened his mouth.

His gaze slowly dropped and fell on the music box.

“…I didn’t break it.”

“So many of them are surrounding the music box.”

"I'm standing at the end."

“I can’t touch the music box at all…”

Things happened so quickly that he was caught off guard.

He was looking at the crafts on the counter next to him.

Later I noticed the commotion ahead.

Before he could ask what was going on, he heard the boss lady coming along.

Broken things?

His heart skipped a beat, but he didn't think much about it.

Who would have thought that in the end... he became the one who took the blame.

......

"They asked me to pay for it, saying I broke it..."

Feng Ji clenched his hands into fists.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red.

He noticed the slightest sucking meaning in his voice, and the boy pursed his lips.

It took him a while before he spoke again.

“…I don’t have enough money.”

“This music box is too expensive…”

"I want everyone to raise money to buy it together."

"But... no one wants to."

"It was clearly one of them who broke it..."

The boy took a deep breath.

"But everyone doesn't even want to pay any money."

"The boss's wife urges me to pay."

"They urged me to pay, too."

"Everyone is watching me."

“…but I don’t have enough money…”

At that time, he even tasted what the so-called despair felt.

Too bitter.

He was at a loss.

"I don't know what to do."

"I dare not tell the truth."

"I'm afraid the boss's wife will call my parents..."

"......no......"

"You can't let your parents know..."

......

Seeing that the boy's face turned pale and obviously fell into bad associations, Xiao Xiao's mouth raised slightly.

"Your mom and dad won't know."

Feng Ji suddenly looked up.

"You bought this music box."

"......Um."

The boy nodded.

wrong.

He shook his head, "You bought this music box."

"I bought it for you."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Didn't you just say that you will pay me back the money?"

The boy nodded blankly.

Um.
