He brought Xiao Xiao.

He also told his uncle that he believed in Xiao Xiao.

He hopes he can help his uncle.

…

But what does this mean now?

Gave uncle hope and disappointed him?

…

Xu Zizhen regretted it a little.

Maybe he shouldn't have brought Xiao Xiao and the others here just because of luck.

…

Did he make his uncle sad again?

…

"It's right there in the tree."

Xiao Xiao did not have any mood swings because of Xu Zizhen's questioning tone.

He raised his head and met those white eyes.

…

It turns out to be Fengzi ghost.

The old man of Maple Wood is in human form, also called Ling Maple.

…

Long white hair hangs down among the branches of the maple tree.

There are several delicate green maple leaves on it.

It looks like it was picked from the maple tree.

Green and white are becoming more and more clear and ethereal.

…

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but reached out and gently touched the hair in front of him a few times.

Silky and cool to the touch, it exudes a faint scent of maple leaves.

…

Because everyone followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and looked at the maple leaves above, no one noticed Xiao Xiao's somewhat strange behavior at this time.

…

Even though he knew there was nothing on the tree, he had just seen it many times.

But when he heard Xiao Xiao's affirmative voice, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but look up at the crown of the maple tree.

The light golden sunlight outlined the delicate outline of the maple leaves, shining with little brilliance before his eyes.

But, no one.

Xu Zizhen looked at Xiao Xiao, "Obviously-" There is no one there.

The rest of the words disappeared in Xiao Xiao's throat when he looked over.

...

His eyes were calm and even a little cold, but he was so serious that it was impossible to refute him.

What he said is true.

Xu Zizhen understands this very clearly.

…

Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze from Xu Zizhen and turned to Uncle Xu.

"Uncle Xu, it never left."

The maple tree is here, where can Lingfeng go?

…

"Didn't leave?"

Uncle Xu suddenly wanted to laugh, what happened today?

Why can't he always understand the child in front of him?

Is there really a big age gap, so is there a generation gap?

...

Didn't leave?

What do you mean she never left?

Since you didn't leave, why didn't you come to see him?

...

What does his waiting here for so many years mean?

What's the point of talking to himself like a fool?

What does it mean that he keeps thinking about it?

...

Uncle Xu originally thought that her leaving without saying goodbye was the most outrageous thing he could imagine her doing.

But he found that the child in front of him revealed a vague fact that made him even more frightened.

...

She didn't leave, she just didn't come to see him.

No matter how much he missed her.

...

At that time, he almost went crazy because of her disappearance.

He originally planned to confess to her after the college entrance examination.

He thought their relationship would come naturally.

Because, hasn't she been with him for so many years?

She always only played with him.

They have obviously always gotten along well.

All of this gave him the illusion that they felt the same.

She also likes him.

...

Although she was neither enthusiastic nor said a word to him.

Even the smile is stingy.

...

However, he remembered every smile she showed to him.

His eyebrows were curved, pure and clean without any impurities, and so beautiful that he was speechless.

...

Making her smile has always been his tireless effort and persistence.

...

After so many years, what he missed most was her smile.

He really wanted to see her smile again.

...

He envisioned their reunion countless times.

Different occasions, different seasons, different colors of maple leaf clips on her head.

The only thing that was the same was the happy smile on her face the moment they met.

It must be as simple and clean as I remember, and even more stunning.
