For several days in a row, I couldn't see the little girl's figure again. Did she really see her brother that day?

Half believing and half doubting, during the break time, I went to find the student council members.

When I asked about that day's events and the girl who talked to the little girl, the reply I got was,

"What are you talking about? There is no such person in the student council."

I was really surprised. When I asked if anyone had helped the little girl find her brother, the reply I got was,

"Ah...that girl, we don't even know her brother's name or class number, so there's no way we can find him."

It shocked me even more.

I thought the little girl had already seen her brother, but the response from the student council surprised me.

I returned to the classroom and sat in my seat, feeling restless.

"Jie, where did you just go?"

"I went on a trip..." I saw Zhiye's gaze, feeling like I was being watched by an eagle, so I couldn't help but lie, "I went to the restroom."

"But you seemed to be gone for a long time..."

"Ah...I had a bit of diarrhea."

"Is it because you ate what I made?"

"No...no...maybe it's because of catching a cold." I quickly shook my head.

"It's because of my negligence as Jie's wife. How can I let a cold take advantage of Jie? Jie... I'm sorry, I'll go face the wall and reflect."

Zhiye, with tears in her eyes, seemed like she really wanted to go face the wall to reflect. I quickly held her hand, "You're exaggerating. I'm not a immortal, I can have minor illnesses and pains."

"But it's my fault that Jie has to endure the pain of diarrhea, so I must repent."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing Zhiye like this made me feel a sense of remorse.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm really fine," I said with a smile.

Zhiye wiped away her tears and still seemed a little worried, "If you still have diarrhea, you should go to the infirmary. I'll go with you, Jie."

I nodded, "If I still have diarrhea, I'll let Zhiye know." She finally showed a relieved smile, but this way, I had one less excuse. However, this diarrhea incident finally calmed down.

Until the end of school, I kept thinking about the information I received from the student council during the break. Although it's not a hundred percent certain, it's basically confirmed that the little girl didn't see her brother, didn't see him...

But I haven't seen her for these past few days. Could it be that her brother is not at school or he has already gone home that day? Speculation is speculation after all, and I admire myself for why I care so much about this matter, but I vaguely feel like I have to help her, without any reason, just a strong feeling.

The last class in the afternoon was physical education, and I decided to skip it. I couldn't leave through the school gate, so I had to climb over the wall. Since girls and boys have separate physical education classes, Zhiye wouldn't know.

But what should I say afterwards? I couldn't think of anything for a moment, but Zhiye probably wouldn't blame me.

After leaving these worries behind, I successfully climbed over the wall and arrived at a spacious road. I don't know why, without asking anyone, I still found Tian Hui Primary School. It was still not time for school to end, so I waited for a few minutes. When the school bell rang, the school gate opened and students came out one after another. There were quite a few parents outside the gate, facing the large number of students coming out, I felt a little panicked. Maybe the little girl would be among this crowd.

In a panic, I could only think of a lame trick, which was to shout and wave my arms at the same time.

This kind of experience was really embarrassing, and it also strained my voice. Moreover, the noise of students leaving school easily drowned out my voice, but I still held a glimmer of hope and shouted loudly,

"Hey hey hey, hey hey hey,"

Since I didn't know the girl's name, this was the only way I could attract her attention. I still had a faint memory of her appearance, not completely unfamiliar.But does it really work? It is likely to be seen as foolish,

yelling until my voice is hoarse, I still haven't seen that little girl, and some children who see my frightened look, some parents even muttered quietly and quickly left with their children,

it seems to end in failure after all, I lower my shoulders, dejected,

just as I turn around to leave, a force that is not threatening enough pulls my clothes, and when I turn around to see who it is, I am suddenly caught off guard by a hug,

I take a careful look, it's a little girl with a red backpack, her head pressed against my stomach, I can't see her face,

"Um..."

I appear somewhat embarrassed,

"Youjie gege... Youjie gege... where did you go? Feiya... Feiya has been looking for you for a long time, thought that Youjie gege... was dead,"

the little girl choked up,

"I know you are anxious to find your older brother, but don't just call anyone gege, okay,"

"Huh?" The little girl looks surprised,

"It's lucky that I found you in this completely uncertain way, and it seems like you haven't seen your brother yet,"

for some reason, I feel a little relieved,

"I'm Xu Youjie, a student at Shen Yu Middle School. I saw you that day and wanted to help you, but missed the chance. Today, I hope to lend a helping hand,"

I say in a humble tone,

"Youjie gege?"

"Is your brother called Youjie?"

"No no no... Feiya's brother is called Youjie,"

this little girl's pronunciation is a bit off, so I can't identify accurately,

"Youjie?"

"No no no... Youjie..." The little girl shakes her head,

"Sorry... I still don't know," I say apologetically,

"You are Feiya's brother, why do you seem like you don't know Feiya..."

"Am I your brother? Are you kidding me,"

"Xu Feiya... that's Feiya's name. Youjie gege, don't you remember at all?"

"No impression..."

"What happened to Youjie gege these days? Why does it feel so strange to see Feiya? Did Feiya do something wrong?"

"I don't know you, how could you have done something that I would find offensive," I say with a smile,

"You are Feiya's older brother, there is absolutely no mistake about that,"

it seems like the little girl's mind is playing tricks on her because she can't find her brother,

"I will help you find him, don't be so anxious,"

I say to her in a gentle tone,

"Youjie gege, you really don't remember Feiya? That day... weren't you asking about Su Yuqian with Feiya? Don't you remember?"

"Su Yuqian..." My brain trembles for a moment,

"Say that person's name again..."

"Jie..." Suddenly, someone interrupts, I look and it's Zhiye, she's panting,

"Why did you come, Zhiye..."

"How can you skip class, Jie?"

"Skipping class is not a big deal, right?" Seeing Zhiye with a serious face, I feel a trace of fear,

"Go back, the PE teacher is looking for you," Zhiye grabs my hand,

"But... I haven't..."

"Jie, losing credits is very serious, so... please listen to me,"

Zhiye's expression really makes it seem like a big deal, making me worried,

"Alright, let's go..."

The little girl kept watching me and Zhiye, even as we were about to leave, I still remembered to say, "After school tomorrow, I will come to find you again. If you don't mind, I hope you can wait for me at the entrance of your school,"

"Youjie gege..." When I was about to leave, the little girl reached out her hand,

"Please don't do anything that disturbs Jie anymore,"

Zhiye says coldly, and the little girl retracts her hand, feeling like there is something she hasn't said, but in order to avoid serious consequences, I decide to go back to school first. I didn't expect skipping class to be so serious, and Zhiye has become so serious, which further deepens my sense of worry.
