Ling Feng silently watched Xiao Xiao say goodbye to it, and silently watched Xiao Xiao jump off the maple tree.
Not a word was spoken.
But just when Xiao Xiao's figure was about to leave its sight, it slowly opened its mouth.
...
"Master Xiao?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao jumping down from the maple tree, Xu Zizhen walked to his side in a few strides.
"How about it?"
"Is Ling Feng okay?"
he asked with concern.
Probably because this maple tree has always been in Xu's house, Ling Feng also met his uncle and stayed with him for a long time.
He heard his uncle talk about that past.
He couldn't be said to be unfamiliar with Ling Feng, he even had some familiarity and understanding because of his uncle's description.
So in his opinion, Ling Feng is also a member of Xu's house.
That's why he was so anxious when he heard from his uncle that something might have happened to Ling Feng.
He had unconsciously included Ling Feng into his family.
…
"It's fine."
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "It's just that the friends who usually come to see it at this time have never shown up, which makes it a little worried."
"Oh, all right."
Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not that Ling Feng was in trouble or had any physical problems, but because he was worried about his friends...
Wait, he suddenly reacted, "Friend?"
He opened his mouth in surprise. Since he is Ling Feng's friend, that means, it...
"Also...a monster?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Of course."
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a while, with a slightly strange expression on his face.
It turns out that besides Ling Feng, other monsters have appeared here.
Xu Zhai... In a sense, he can be regarded as a ghost, no, a demon house, right?
"Ah."
He suddenly laughed softly, and when he met Xiao Xiao's gaze, he said with a smile, "I just think it's interesting."
"I can't see the monster though."
"But just knowing that monsters are around and are real makes me feel...very excited."
…
So excited...
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
indeed.
Wasn't he like this back then?
Even now, he occasionally feels a strange trance.
Are all the monsters around us real?
Are the scenes in his eyes real?
"Coffee~"
The little white monster raised its head and rubbed Xiao Xiao's cheek as if aware of it.
The soft touch brought back Xiao Xiao's distracted attention.
There was a smile slowly spreading in his eyes.
All of this is of course a very real reality.
He lives in a world where humans and monsters coexist.
…
"Hey, uncle?"
Suddenly realizing that someone was missing, Xu Zizhen looked up and saw the man who was still looking up under the tree.
The man who heard Xu Zizhen's voice turned his head and looked.
"Uncle, is something wrong?"
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Ah, no."
Uncle Xu shook his head and looked at Xiao Xiao with a deep smile, "Master Xiao, thank you."
"I can feel that Ling Feng's mood has recovered."
"It's really-"
He looked up again and saw the red maples everywhere, extremely beautiful, "It's great."
…
"Uncle, have you become a sperm?"
"Is it still a cheat?"
Xu Zizhen looked at Uncle Xu strangely, "You can't see it, how can you feel it so clearly?"
"Uncle, is this telepathy between you and Ling Feng?"
"telepathy?"
Uncle Xu shook his head, "I don't know."
"It's just a vague feeling."
"so amazing."
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, how did my uncle feel it?"
"have no idea."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "It's probably as you said, it's the telepathy between Uncle Xu and Ling Feng."
…
"簌簌~"
A crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.
The red maple moved automatically without wind, and a maple leaf fell from the branch and fell leisurely into the man's subconsciously open palm.
This is……
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao again.
Xiao Xiao glanced at the figure hidden behind the maple leaves, his white eyes as quiet as a dream.
"It's a gift from Ling Feng to you."
After he smiled slightly, he turned his eyes to Uncle Xu, "It should be to thank you for your concern about it."
…
"Wow!"
Xu Zizhen exclaimed softly, his face full of envy, what a gift from a monster.
…
Uncle Xu was a little stunned.
He looked at the red leaves in his hand and slowly closed his fingers.
Was it a gift from Ling Feng?
A gentle smile appeared between his brows and eyes.
"Thank you, Ling Feng."
"I love so much."
…
"very nice."
Xu Zizhen murmured in a low voice, and he moved closer to Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, is there anything special about this gift?"
Isn't it just one of the maple leaves on the tree?
"special?"
Xiao Xiao looked sideways at Xu Zizhen, who looked expectant, "Well... isn't it just a maple leaf?"
"You can pick a piece if you like."
"I wouldn't dare."
Xu Zizhen replied subconsciously.
It’s okay if you don’t know that this maple tree is a monster.
He who does not know is not guilty.
However, on the premise that he knew that the other party was a monster, he still dared to attract Maple Leaf's attention. He had no habit of seeking death.
However, "Is it really just an ordinary maple leaf?"
He was a little disappointed.
"It's not necessarily ordinary."
Xiao Xiao's words made Xu Zizhen's eyes suddenly shine brightly.
"After all, it is a gift from the monster."
He looked at the man who had walked to them and said, "Uncle Xu, you can take this maple leaf with you. It will be good for you."
"What's the benefit?"
Xu Zizhen asked impatiently without waiting for Uncle Xu to ask.
"Lingfeng is a tree demon, full of vitality."
"Although this maple leaf does not have the exaggerated effect of curing all diseases or bringing the dead back to life, wearing it for a long time will still have a steady improvement effect on the wearer's body."
"It will make your body healthier, you will not suffer from colds easily, and some injuries will heal faster."
"and-"
Xiao Xiao stopped talking.
"and?"
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but urge.
"Let Uncle Xu experience the rest for himself."
Xiao Xiao said something that made Xu Zizhen want to run away.
"Master Xiao!"
Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth quite a bit.
Xiao Xiao smiled innocently.
This maple leaf can also protect Uncle Xu when he is in danger.
Although only once.
He didn't tell Uncle Xu because he was a little worried that the other party would lose caution in his daily life because of this?
Let’s leave this as a hidden surprise until the end.
…
"Zizhen."
Uncle Xu frowned with some disapproval, "Don't be rude to Master Xiao."
Xu Zizhen:……
"Yes, Master Xiao, I'm sorry."
Xu Zizhen said angrily.
"It does not matter, I do not mind."
Xiao Xiao's seemingly generous answer made Xu Zizhen's forehead twitch hard, and his face turned a little dark.
