"Thank you for always listening to my complaints patiently."
"I really bothered you the past few days."
"Thank you."
The young man thanked him again.
After being slightly stunned, Mrs. Xiao laughed.
"Okay, just say thank you once."
"No need to say it so many times."
"I'm embarrassed to say it."
"I actually didn't do anything."
Seeing that the young man was about to speak again, Xiao's mother waved her hand, "I'll call Xiaoxiao over."
"Sit down and wait."
"By the way, would you like to order?"
Mother Xiao noticed the empty table.
It cannot be said that it is an empty table.
A young man placed a box on the table.
This box...
"Is that the painting inside?"
Xiao's mother heard what Xiaoxiao said.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, that's the painting inside."
He was not surprised that Xiao's mother knew about it.
Originally, the first person he confided in about this matter was Xiao's mother.
Classmate Xiao was also found for him by Xiao’s mother.
Xiao's mother should know what happened next.
...
"I accidentally pressed it yesterday, so I wanted to show it to classmate Xiao."
Now that Xiao's mother mentioned this painting, the young man stopped being vague and came to the teahouse for another purpose besides saying thank you.
He smiled sheepishly, "I was too careless."
"It should be fine though."
"But I'm just a little worried..."
I thought it would be better to let Mr. Xiao see it with his own eyes.
Mother Xiao smiled knowingly, "You have to be careful with such an important thing."
"Just wait, I'll call someone for you."
Mother Xiao was about to turn around and shook her head as if she was remembering something, "Look at my memory."
"I just asked you if you wanted to order."
"You will forget it in the blink of an eye."
The young man smiled and said, "Auntie, just watch it and it will be fine."
"I like all the tea and snacks you have here."
Mother Xiao narrowed her eyes and the smile on her face deepened, "Okay."
"Then sit down for a while."
"Tea and snacks will be here soon."
…
Xiao's mother went to the kitchen first, and then walked to the backyard.
"Xiaoxiao."
Xiao's mother was not surprised to find her son under the white plum tree.
"Here comes the little hole."
"He is holding the painting and wants to see you."
"He's sitting right where I took you last time."
"remember?"
"or-"
"mom."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I remember."
"You go and get busy."
"I'll go find him myself."
"good."
Mother Xiao warned again, "Then you should go quickly."
"Don't keep people waiting."
"I'll go now."
Xiao Xiao followed Xiao's mother to the teahouse.
…
"Classmate Xiao."
"Master Xiao."
Male and female voices sounded almost simultaneously.
The male voice is Kong Yi, the female voice...
Xiao Xiao looked at the door, and the familiar figure walking in made him raise his eyebrows slightly, "Axi, Xiuxiu."
He was a little curious, "Achuan isn't here?"
"Brother is parking the car."
The girl's answer made Xiao Xiao suddenly realize.
"Brother Jixi drives too hard, so if we have a choice, we will not let brother Jixi drive."
The girl looks playful.
Meng Jixi pouted and shook his head, "You don't understand the fun of driving at all."
"It's not like driving a racing car."
Chi Xiuchuan, who then walked in, smiled and replied, "You'd better be safe on this busy street."
"Chi~"
Meng Jixi shrugged, "I have never violated any rules -"
Noticing the suspicious looks in the Chi brothers and sisters' eyes, he added, "On the premise that there is no emergency."
"Emergency matters come first, do you understand?"
…
"Xiao-"
Kong Yi hesitated whether to speak out.
Is this classmate Xiao’s friend looking for him?
And...Master Xiao?
Thinking of the female voice that sounded almost at the same time as his own voice just now, the young man was a little confused, but he seemed to understand.
This title -
Thinking of Classmate Xiao's mystery, he felt that it was quite suitable for Classmate Xiao.
Aren't all experts called masters, masters, etc.?
Um?
Kong Yi was stunned.
Since these young people have called this name, does it mean... that they have also had experiences related to monsters?
Do they also know how special classmate Xiao is?
Otherwise, how can ordinary people call their friends of the same age that way?
There always have to be some opportunities and reasons.
…
"Let's go to the location and talk."
Xiao Xiao took the lead and walked in the direction of Kong Yi.
"Sorry, Master Xiao, are we disturbing you?"
Chi Xiuke smiled sheepishly.
At the same time, he smiled sheepishly at Kong Yi.
It must have been this person whose voice coincided with her calling Master Xiao just now.
Kong Yi smiled and shook his head, then stood up.
With so many people standing, he felt uncomfortable sitting alone.
…
"No."
Xiao Xiao smiled at the girl, "You-"
He looked at Kong Yi, "Do you mind if they are here?"
"Let's go-"
Chi Xiuchuan was about to express their intention to go elsewhere, but was interrupted by Kong Yi, "No, no need."
Kong Yi waved his hand.
"I'll be fine soon."
"Then we can't dominate your table."
Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows slightly. "First come, first served."
"You guys talk first."
"Master Xiao, we are waiting for you in the private room upstairs."
"OK."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Soon, only Xiao Xiao and Kong Yi were left here.
...
"Painted here?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on the box on the table.
"Um."
Kong Yi nodded.
He stretched out his hand to open the box, with a slight smile on his face, "Classmate Xiao, it's not that I don't believe you."
He was a little worried that classmate Xiao would be unhappy.
Obviously, I told him on the phone yesterday that there was nothing wrong with the painting.
As a result, he brought the painting over again today.
Doesn’t this mean that we don’t trust classmate Xiao’s judgment?
Although letting Mr. Xiao actually see it was exactly what he believed in Mr. Xiao’s performance...
"It's just...I just can't let it go."
Kong Yi smiled bitterly.
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Xiao reached out and took out the painting, "I know."
He unfolded the scroll.
Kong Yi held his breath unconsciously.
…
Seeing Xiao Xiao rolling up the painting, Kong Yi spoke again, "Classmate Xiao?"
"fine."
Xiao Xiao put the rolled paintings into the box.
"Yeah?"
Kong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it's okay, it's okay."
Xiao Xiao closed the lid of the box and pushed the box towards Kong Yi.
"Classmate Xiao, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Kong Yi unconsciously rubbed the box with his hand, "Thank you."
"not worried?"
Xiao Xiao had a smile on his face.
"not worried."
Kong Yi smiled sheepishly, and then nodded vigorously, "I'm completely relieved."
"What are you completely relieved about?"
Xiao's mother came over with tea and snacks.
"Is there any problem with the painting?"
Xiao's mother let Xiao Xiao take the tray in her hand and asked with a smile.
"Um."
Kong Yi nodded, "Classmate Xiao looked at it and said there is no problem."
Immediately noticing Xiao Xiao's movements, he hurriedly reached out and took out the tea set on the tray and the plate with snacks, "Classmate Xiao, I can do it myself."
