--Lisa--

But I didn't feel angry. I remembered his expression when he mentioned this the night before, and suddenly I felt a little pain in my heart.

I changed my tone and said, "If you don't want to ask, then don't ask. Then let me ask another question. This is our second acquaintance. I know what you did in the past and what you are doing now. Do you know what I do?"

This time he smiled and said, "I can't guess."

I was delighted and said, "I'm an online writer. Have you heard of this profession? But we're not familiar with each other yet, so I can't tell you my pen name."

The sun went down the mountain, and the light in the sky became soft. After I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a silence in my heart. I subconsciously looked at him, and his expression was as soft as the light, and he said calmly: "Then I'll wait."

I put my arms behind my head and said nothing. He didn't say anything either.

From a distance, Xiaohao's row of houses can be seen, but they are very far away and as small as building blocks.

Jungkook suddenly said, "There are dozens of birds on the roof."

I was stunned for a moment and said, "You can see from such a distance? I can't see anything."

He said, "You'll see it when you get closer."

Sure enough, after driving a little further, I also saw about twenty of them densely packed on the poles. They were all tiny black dots. I said, "Damn, you have really good eyes."

He smiled and said, "It's better." He paused and said, "I'll explain it to you later."

I didn't pay much attention. After parking the car, we knocked on the door. It was Jihyo who opened the door. She had already arrived. When she saw Jungkook, her eyes flashed and she said in a cold face: "Nice to meet you, I am Lisa's good friend Jihyo."

Jungkook nodded and said, "I am Jungkook."

Jihyo whispered, "I can tell at a glance." I was afraid she would talk nonsense again, so I asked, "Where's Xiaohao?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Hao rushed out of the room and shouted, "Fuck aunt! What brings you here? Is this uncle your boyfriend?"

Before Jungkook and I could say anything, Jihyo said calmly, "What are you yelling about? Do you think your aunt is so easy to chase? There are a dozen people chasing after her, and it's not certain who will get her."

Me: "... Jihyo, thank you, that's enough."

I glanced at Jungkook, and he was also looking at me with a deep gaze that made my heart skip a beat.

Xiaohao reluctantly went into the room. At this time, his grandparents came out of the kitchen and greeted us. Then they went back in. I asked Jihyo: "How did you explain it to them?" Jihyo said: "How else can I explain it? I said that a pervert who specializes in snatching children has been appearing in our area recently, so I asked them to be extra careful. The elderly believe this the most. Don't worry, they will take good care of Xiaohao."

I feel relieved.

Jungkook said: "I want to look around."

Jihyo said: "Just look around. Do you need to prepare any defensive weapons? I have many kinds..." I held her mouth and walked towards the balcony with Jungkook.

Xiaohao's home is a three-story old house that was built by himself. It is square and open. Fortunately, the balcony is equipped with anti-theft windows, and so are several rooms. Jihyo raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on Xiaohao these days and won't let him go out to play."

The three of us looked at the birds that were either perched or hovering on the electric pole outside the balcony. I don't know if it was Jungkook's words that had a psychological effect, but when I looked into the eyes of those birds, I really felt that they were looking at me. Looking at us.

These birds may really be the clue to all the secrets.

At this time, Jungkook said, "Lisa, lend me your car for a while." I asked, "What are you going to do?" He replied, "I lost these birds last time. Tonight they returned empty-handed, and I want to see where they will fly to."

Jihyo and I were both surprised. Jihyo said, "Follow a bird? Can you keep up with it? It will disappear in no time."

Jungkook said: "How do you know if you don't try it?"

I said, "Okay, go ahead and be safe."

He replied, "Yes, I will." He looked at me and said, "You too."

Jihyo next to me bumped my arm and showed a strange expression. I looked at her meaningfully, and she immediately understood and smiled secretly.

As we were talking, a police car drove up from downstairs. I clearly saw the person in the driver's seat and said in a lost voice, "Suho? Why is he here too?"

Jihyo was also stunned for a moment. At this time, Suho had already parked the car and opened the door. He looked up and saw us on the balcony. Jihyo muttered, "Is this the wood you mentioned? Where is the wood?"

I sighed, "Nothing is numb. If you don't believe me, go down and open the door and feel it for yourself."

Jihyo said "Oh" and went downstairs.

"Is he also one of the 'dozens'?" Jungkook suddenly spoke.

I said, "Don't listen to Jihyo's nonsense. He and I are just... ordinary friends."

at this time.

I don't know if they were startled or noticed something, but the flock of birds suddenly took off together, led by the leader bird, and flew away. My heart skipped a beat, and Jungkook beside me had already turned around and ran downstairs.

"I'm going." He said this.

"I'll go with you!" I shouted, but he ignored me. When I ran downstairs, I saw Suho and Jihyo standing there in surprise. The door was open, and the orange car suddenly started and disappeared around the corner.

At that time, I stood at the door feeling a little disappointed, thinking that now I could only wait.

I never thought that the next time I saw Jungkook, he was lying on the ground, bleeding from his head, unconscious.
