TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 95: Death

If Ji Buwang could see Shao Xi's face, he would probably guess what was on his mind.

However, even though he could not see Shao Xi's expression, he could feel that Shao Xi was being uninspired. Staring at Shao Xi, he pushed himself and smiled.

Kids still need persuasion. When Ji Buwang saw that there was someone selling popsicles not far away, he quickly told Mu Jingzhe, “I'll go buy popsicles. Wait for me here.”

Popsicles were really rare in this era. Eating one on a summer day will make people feel cool everywhere. It happened to be midday and the weather was hot.

Shao Xi slightly drooled when she heard that. Then, she became more confident after remembering that she had received 100 yuan as a gift today! He could buy a lot of popsicles now. He just wanted to save up to buy a car.

After Ji Buwang paid, he glanced at the popsicle wrapped in a cotton blanket inside the boss' wooden box and quickly picked out three.

When he turned around and saw the dense crowd, his face stiffened.

Where is Mu Jingzhe? Where's she?

Ji Buwang actually does not like to walk because it is too crowded with people. All he could see was a sea of blurry faces.

At a time like this, it was extremely difficult for him to use his own method of memory. Once he's separated from someone, it's for him.

When he was young, Ji Buwang's parents once took him out for shopping. Because she accidentally let go of her mother's hand, she was unable to find her mother when she looked up again.

Although the mother had found her very quickly, the incident left a trauma in her young heart and made her reluctant to be in the crowd.

He was afraid that the people who went with him would be completely immersed in the crowd. That feeling of helplessness left him with an overwhelming sense of despair.

Ji Buwang looked at the crowd in front of him, his breathing becoming a little quick. At that moment, he suddenly saw Mu Jingzhe.

It turned out that Mu Jingzhe had temporarily turned his head with his back to face him to say something to Shao Xi. Then, he quickly turned around.

Among the sea of thousands of people, Ji Buwang caught a glimpse of him.

Amidst the blur, a clear and bright face appeared.

Mu Jingzhe, who was also looking at Ji Buwang, raised his hand and waved. He remembered that Ji Buwang had facial blindness, and that was why he waved at him.

The smile and the wave of his hand were forever etched into Ji Buwang's memory.

After searching for him hundreds and thousands of times among the crowd, he suddenly turned around, and it was there that he was near the dim light.

Ji Buwang suddenly recalled a quote from a Southern Song dynasty poem. He smiled and walked towards Mu Jingzhe.

From now on, he no longer had to fear the crowd. No matter how many people there were, he would always be able to catch a glimpse of it.

Ji Buwang handed them the popsicles. “Eat them.”

"Thank you." Mu Jingzhe thanked him as he picked up the popsicle, which let out a cold air.

"Together." Ji Buwang smiled.

His heart was pounding, and he felt an unprecedented peace.

Standing in the middle, Shao Xi looked at Ji Buwang and then at Mu Jingzhe and could not help but frown.

For some reason, he felt that Master Ji Buwang's eyes looked like light bulbs, and looked brighter.

Shao Xi did not like Teacher Ji's eyes. It was as if he would snatch away his mother at any moment.

Shao Xi pulled Mu Jingzhe's hand to distract him. "Mom, that building is so tall."

“That building is the highest in the city. There is even a tower up there,” added Ji Buwang. "Let's go and see."

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi bit the popsicle and let it slowly melt in their mouths as they walked.

While walking slowly to the tall building, Ji Buwang was about to speak when he suddenly heard a short scream.

A second later, something fell down from above and landed with a loud explosion less than two meters in front of them.

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi, who were shocked, turned their heads instinctively.

He only saw once, and the popsicle in his hand fell to the ground. Due to the hot weather, after the popsicle fell to the ground, it instantly melted a little.

White popsicles create a sharp contrast with the red color on the side. Mu Jingzhe looked at the face he had just seen not too long ago.

However, at that moment, his appearance had changed. His face became strange and flawed, as if it had been tinged with lingering grievances.

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi knew that they should not have seen, but they could not react at all at that moment. Their minds are empty.

Then, a pair of hands closed their eyes.

"Stop looking."

“Do not fear.”

Ji Buwang covered their eyes and pulled them into his arms.

Ji Buwang naturally had seen everything. It was also the first time he had experienced such a thing.

However, it wasn't too bad for him because he couldn't see the person's face. He had just seen fear on Mu Jingzhe's face.

Ji Buwang covered the eyes of Mu Jingzhe and Shao Xi without much thought.

Mu Jingzhe's vision darkened, and he finally regained the ability to think.

He felt Shao Xi's hand tremble and heard his voice tremble. "Mama…"

When Mu Jingzhe heard Shao Xi's voice, he was sure that it was Fat Boy, the boy who insulted Shao Xi by calling him 'village hick'.

Perhaps because the sun was too hot, Mu Jingzhe felt dizzy.

He tried his best to calm himself down and grabbed Shao Xi's hand tightly. “Do not be afraid, Little Xi. Don't be afraid.”

He tried to comfort Shao Xi, but his voice trembled, and he could not control his hand. "We should call an ambulance ..."

Mu Jingzhe momentarily forgot that they were not in the modern era. In a daze, he started looking for his phone, wanting to use it to call an ambulance.

Ji Buwang had no idea what Mu Jingzhe was looking for, so he grabbed his hand. "Jingzhe, what are you looking for?"

Only then did Mu Jingzhe remember that he did not have a cell phone.

All Shao Xi could feel in his heart was a taste of ice. It took a long time for him to find the strength to grip Mu Jingzhe's hand tightly.

"Teacher Ji .. can you save him?"

Ji Buwang furrowed his brows and looked at the pool of blood in front of him, feeling it was too late for that.

When everyone heard about the accident, they gathered. A man boldly stepped forward and shook his head. "He's not breathing."

He ... has died.

Shao Xi's heart sank when she heard this.

He had just won the competition and he felt happy winning the prize, but that afternoon, he saw his competitor jump to his death right in front of him.

Since they had fought before and the Fat Boy had said bad things about him and booed him, Shao Xi found it extremely annoying. He was even happy that he had defeated him, but a second later, he died in front of him.

Wh why? Why did he die? Did he jump because he lost?

Is it because Shao Xi has won?

Shao Xi was unwilling to wonder if this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't come to the competition and won.

Shao Xi subconsciously exerted strength with her hands, and Mu Jingzhe, whose mind was still in turmoil, was suddenly awakened by Shao Xi's powerful grip.

This is not the time to be afraid. The most important person right now was Shao Xi. Shao Xi was the one who suffered the biggest blow.

Mu Jingzhe bit the tip of his tongue to calm himself down and hugged Shao Xi.

“It's okay, Little Xi. Don't be afraid.”

Shao Xi sighed harshly as Mu Jingzhe hugged her. "Mom, is it because of me ..."

“No, definitely not. It has nothing to do with you, ”Mu Jingzhe immediately replied firmly. “We just met him today. It has nothing to do with us.”
