Feifei nodded his head as if he understood, but without going into the details, he laid his head down and closed his eyes again.
"Chi~"
Taotie curled his lips in confusion.
The expression is indistinguishable.
However, the next second, a certain monster suddenly raised its head and looked forward.
The eyes under the armpits are astonishingly bright.
...
Although Xiao Xiao couldn't see the Taotie above his head, he could probably guess it.
After he smelled the aroma of food coming from the opposite side.
Not surprisingly, he felt movement above his head.
This greedy monster.
He shook his head slightly in amusement.
"Let's go buy something to eat."
"Ouch~"
Taotie responded positively.
Feifei opened his eyes, his silver-blue eyes shining brightly.
"Tsk, tsk."
The little white fox shook his head, "Go out."
"Hiss~"
The white snake wrapped around the handle of the umbrella held in Xiao Xiao's hand, and said in a voice like honey, "Master Xiao Xiao, I want to eat something sweet."
"good."
Xiao Xiao curled up the corners of his mouth and responded with a smile.
...
"Master Xiao Xiao, welcome back."
As soon as Xiao Xiao pushed open the courtyard door, his ears remembered a clear but strangely soft voice.
The fragrance of plum blossoms hits your nose.
He raised his eyes and saw, without any surprise, a familiar figure bowing to him.
She has a graceful figure and a graceful figure.
The wide sleeves drooped, revealing a wrist that looked like mutton-fat white jade.
The hands are like catkins, and the fingers are like peeling onion roots.
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, "Plum Girl."
The corners of Mei Nu's mouth outlined a soft arc.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiao Xiao."
...
It had been raining for three days, and it finally cleared up.
"Xiaoxiao."
Xiao's mother walked into the yard and was not surprised to see her son resting under the white plum tree.
The plum branches above the lounge chair are intertwined and the plum blossoms are layered on top of each other, as if they are deliberately blocking the direct winter sunlight from Xiao Xiao's eyes below.
If it were before, Mrs. Xiao would laugh at herself for overthinking.
But now, she thought, maybe the plum tree was really blocking the sun for the child Xiaoxiao.
It is a sacred tree that can bloom all year round, so there is nothing strange about it being more miraculous.
...
Meeting her son's gaze as he sat up and looked over, Xiao's mother took a step to the side, her eyebrows relaxed, "Look who's here?"
"Xiaoxiao."
The short-haired girl stepped forward and smiled.
"Sister Yanyan?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards the two of them, "Why are you here?"
Before Yu Yanyan could speak, Xiao's mother reached out and patted Xiao Xiao's arm. There was a smile in her eyes, but her tone was a bit complaining, "How do you talk like a kid?"
"Your cousin will come as soon as she wants."
"What more reason do you need?"
"aunt."
The girl smiled sheepishly, "I really have something to ask Xiaoxiao for help when I come here this time."
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
He guessed that something happened when the girl came over.
After all, the girl had just visited them a few days ago and would not come to visit them again so soon for no reason.
However, he did not expect that the other party wanted to ask him for help.
…
"Oh. I have something to do with Xiaoxiao."
Xiao's mother also felt a little enlightened.
In fact, she was a little surprised when she saw Yan Yan walking into the teahouse just now.
It's just that she thought Yan Yan was looking for something to do with her.
As for asking Xiaoxiao where the child is, it's just a matter of courtesy.
Unexpectedly, she was "self-involved".
Mother Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, Yan Yan, if you need Xiaoxiao's help with anything, just tell him."
"do not mention it."
"You guys chat first, I'll get you some snacks."
"Auntie, no need."
"No need to bother."
Yu Yanyan spoke hurriedly. "Just go and do your work. Don't worry about me."
"What's the trouble?"
Mother Xiao waved her hand, "There's always time to get some snacks."
"You don't have to be polite at my aunt's house."
"What are you doing like this?"
"If you want to eat anything, just tell aunt."
"Auntie will prepare it for you."
"Thank you, aunt."
Yu Yanyan no longer refused, her eyes curved into a crescent shape.
…
"Mom, get more."
After the conversation between the two came to an end, Xiao Xiao spoke.
Xiao's mother was not surprised, but looked at the little fox in Xiao Xiao's arms clearly, and also glanced at the position of Xiao Xiao's wrist, "Ah Jiu, Ah Bai want to eat?"
"Um."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth raised slightly, with a helpless expression, "As soon as I heard that you were going to get some snacks, I immediately became energetic."
"hehe."
Xiao's mother couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, I will bring a lot."
Yu Yanyan was a little confused.
She knew Ah Jiu was a little white fox and Ah Bai was a white snake.
She was really surprised when she saw the white snake.
Didn't she expect that the object she always thought was a white jade bracelet turned out to be a living thing?
Such a beautiful snake.
Even though she didn't like cold-blooded reptiles, she couldn't even feel a little disgust and fear towards this white snake.
It's just that she doesn't know...
"Ah Jiu, Ah Bai, do you like snacks?"
There was a bit of disbelief in his tone.
A fox and a snake like snacks?
This is the plot of a fairy tale, right?
...
"hehe."
Seeing Yu Yanyan's expression, Xiao's mother smiled again, "Ah Jiu and Ah Bai are more special."
"They love snacks."
"He also has a big appetite."
"Cute, isn't it?"
When Xiao's mother talked about this fox and snake, her face was full of love.
She already regards Ah Jiu and Ah Bai as members of the family.
These two little guys are very intelligent. At first, she just played with them and talked to them, but she didn't expect that they all understood them.
After receiving the response, Xiao's mother was surprised and happy.
I fell in love with such smart and beautiful two people even more.
...
"Um."
Fox and snake who like to eat snacks...
Yu Yanyan nodded, "Very cute."
It's also magical.
"Just like a character in a fairy tale."
However, "They look exactly as they were drawn."
Yu Yanyan smiled, and the slight sadness between her brows and eyes dissipated a lot.
"haha, yes."
Mother Xiao covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then turned and left.
…
"Xiaoxiao."
Watching Xiao's mother disappear into the room, Yu Yanyan turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
The smile on his face gradually dissipated, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"There's something I want to ask of you."
"What's up?"
Xiao Xiao asked and motioned for Yu Yanyan to sit down on the stone stool.
...
After Yu Yanyan sat down, she fell silent again.
The emotions on his face were a bit complicated.
Xiao Xiao didn't urge him either.
Instead, he quietly waited for the girl to sort out her thoughts.
He looked up as if aware.
The slender and strong branches of the plum tree stretched out silently, criss-crossing above him.
Blossoming white plum blossoms are dotted among them, and the cold fragrance hits your nose.
There was a little smile in his eyes, and his mouth opened and closed silently.
"Thanks."
The plum girl's figure appeared among the white plums. Her plain white sleeves brushed against the white plums. After bowing with her folds folded, she smiled sternly at Xiao Xiao.
