Small trouble.

''Are you okay?'' Alisa asked Jin Qian that just gotten up off the floor.

''Yes, thanks for helping me earlier.'' Jin Qian answered with a smile.

''Do you need help with that?'' Alisa said while signaling with her chin to the coins on the ground.

''Ah!'' Jin Qian seemingly forgot about the money on the floor, hastily he dropped on the ground, got the broken box, and used it to collect the coins around.

Alisa's action was good, if she went directly to collect the money then maybe Jin Qian would react badly, after all even if she helped him, in the end, his money is a sensitive matter.

Zhou Heng was just watching from the door everything inside, he understood what kind of person was Alisa, the first time he meet her he thought that she had the justice complex, but after getting to know her better he discovered something else.

She enjoyed helping others to feel useful, the feeling of being reliable and somehow 'superior' to others. He didn't dislike it, truly white-hearted people that enjoyed the sight of others being happy without any second thoughts were admirable, but the way she did things is more 'natural'.

It was more comfortable knowing that she has hidden intentions, Zhou Heng is bound to become a 'Villain' to take from others for his benefit, he may not be accustomed but that is his fate.

In many stories when someone of the 'dark side' meets with a white soul, they may either try to destroy it or protect it as the most beautiful thing they ever saw.

Zhou Heng didn't have those complicated thoughts, he was just starting this path and those of the stories had their own tragic backgrounds, he may have had a rough life where he was forced to work to help his grandfather, but it wasn't bad at all compared to those stories.

That's a reason he doubted that he is the only user of a system, after all, while he was quite desperate, it wasn't to the point of turning his heart entirely black.

All those factors make his attitude toward Alisa quite good, he didn't dislike her for her way of acting, she was just a girl, she has the right of being selfish, and remind him that the gray color exists.

Still, this matter is a bit troublesome, he still remembers a few things he saw in the past months.

''Heng, what should we do now?'' Suddenly Alisa asked after Jin Qian collected all the money from the floor.

''We should go to eat and to sleep, I don't know you, but I am very tired from today's training.'' Zhou Heng answered pretending to be dumb, usually, he likes to be frank and tell her what he thinks, but there is Jin Qian at the side, so he is just saying to her indirectly 'I don't want to participate.' of course, if he understands his words then better.

A frown appeared on Alisa's face, she understood what he said to her, in just two months she understood more or less how he usually communicates, but this didn't lessen her frown, why can he help him? the two are from the same race, she doesn't doubt his capabilities to solve this matter.

''Then, we just let know my aunt about them so they can leave him alone...?'' She asked.

Zhou Heng frowned, he didn't want to mess with this matter but she surely would still try it at his back, he had just known her for two months, he can decide everything for her, she has her mind and desires.

He didn't need to participate in her little 'crusade', but their relationship will surely become a bit distant, he is comfortable having her as a friend and he is taking advantage of the treatment in the orphanage.

But he also didn't want to lose sleep on the matter, so he decided to finish it today, he raised his head and looked at Jin Qian's eyes. Alisa was surprised at his sudden change of attitude but stayed silent and watched.

''Did they want something else than money?'' He asked.

"Eh...? Ah... no, no, they just wanted what I had.'' Jin Qian was confused, he had never contacted the blue-haired little boy, he often sees him together with Alisa but nothing more than that, in fact, is the first time he hears that he is called Heng.

''Then, why was the money on the floor?'' Zhou Heng just stared at his eyes with a serious look, he didn't care if he thought about him as abnormal.

''This... they said that it was too little and I had hidden more in another place... But! it's not true this is all I got, it's just that they want simple too much, they have never worked and didn't know how difficult is for us to get money at this age, not to mention... our problems...'' Jin Qian said with a gloomy look.

Zhou Heng ignored the last part and started pondering. The reason he doesn't want to mess with the little noble is that reason, he truly is the child of a noble, one of the supporters of the Gray Way Orphanage, he discovered in the first month after going to clean himself after training.

At that moment he just thought that it was very predictable and shrugged it off but after that incident in the garden and his sudden closeness with Alisa, these two months he has seen how that noble comes almost every month to see Evan.

This said clearly, for that noble, Evan was important, be it for other motives or love, he will come every month, for the mannerism of that noble he doesn't seem like the kind-hearted type, in fact, he is the one fueling the arrogance in Evan's heart.

What happens if you annoy Evan so much that he goes and complains to his father? either for love or to gain better control over him, the noble will do something, and what he can do surely they can't bear it.

Threatening Evan was also no option, scaring him is okay but as soon as his 'invincible' father appears his fear will lessen and will even counterattack more aggressively, giving him what he wants is just letting him become complacent and surely this will just be the first of many.

Killing him is no option, he is just a kid, is probably the most annoying type but he is still a kid, not to mention the persecution his father will do.

This is why he is not interested in this matter, just let him beat you, and hide your money better, that's what he wants to say, but looking at Alisa, she will surely not accept this result, and will bring troubles, she having a bad relationship with Evan will bring more trouble in the future.

She is a pretty girl, Zhou Heng doesn't know how beautiful women of the noble district are, but for Evan, she is surely one of the prettiest, if she becomes his enemy won't she also become a type of past grudge that when he grows up and gains power from his father he will surely want to take revenge.

At that moment even if Zhou Heng wants to do something it will also be useless, he is four and they are twelve, when they become eighteen he will be just ten years old. What can he do at that age?

He doesn't have that much information about Evan and doesn't plan to waste too much time on this matter, so he just said.

''They wanted money, but yours weren't enough, I don't think they just wanted to disgust you, this will not stop even if you tell the caretakers, I recommend you to take advantage of the matter, look for one of your close friends that is native of Ariethis and tell him to meet with me.'' Zhou Heng said to Jin Qian, he looked at Alisa and decided to go to eat, he is hungry.

He started walking away without saying anything else, Alisa was startled and after looking at Jin Qian for a bit she said.

''Thought he looks like that, he is very smart, maybe he has a way to help you, follow his instructions.'' After that, she started running to catch up with Zhou Heng, leaving a confused Jin Qian behind.

Halfway to the dining room, Alisa asked him.

''How are we going to solve the problem?'' She asked with expectation on her face, she is probably feeling good about helping others like a 'hero'.

At this point, Zhou Heng stopped walking and looked at her, surprised by his actions, she also stopped and watched him, tilting her head she asked.

''What happened?''

''You are not a hero, if you rush on things like what just happened you can't be sure that you will end well.'' Even if she is young, no, exactly because she is young, he wanted to teach her how to avoid troubles like this, Ariethis isn't as peaceful as it is in his world, the fact that exists an entire district to military enforcement says this much.

''... I know that, but... if I was in his situation, I would like that someone could come and help me.'' Alisa looked down and said that almost like a whisper.

''...'' Zhou Heng was stunned, all the things he planned to explain to her got stuck in his throat, she understood that he didn't want to meddle because there could be bad consequences. He just didn't expect her to 'open her heart' and tell him something like that.

''I see...'' That's the only thing he could say, at this moment he understood that even though he sees all of them as children, he wasn't that different, he wasn't mature enough in this world or his, to have all answers.

''But maybe one day we could be heroes! just that, not yet, hehe.'' Feeling awkward for the sudden emotional atmosphere, Alisa joked.

''Careful with what you wish.'' Shaking his head at the comment, Zhou Heng continued walking with Alisa to the dining room cursing inwardly for the fact that he brought that term into the conversation.
