Lin grabbed the vibrating cell phone and flew happily towards Xiao Xiao who was leaning on the recliner.
Xiao Xiao turned his head, with a slight smile on his face.
He spread his palms.
The phone fell firmly into his palm.
"Thank you, Lin."
"Tweet~"
Li tilted his head, flapped his wings, and screamed loudly.
"嘤~"
Yingshao rolled his eyes.
A silly look on his face.
…
It's an unfamiliar number.
Xiao Xiaogang didn't want to pay attention.
A conjecture suddenly flashed through my mind.
He stretched out his hand a little and then took it back.
Will...
Xiao Xiao answered the phone.
"..."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone.
However, Xiao Xiao could clearly hear the other party's rapid breathing.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hello."
He spoke out.
"..."
There was still no sound from the other end of the phone.
and-
There was no sound of breathing either.
Looking at the hung up phone, Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
"Buzz buzz~"
After just a second, the phone vibrated again.
Same number.
Xiao Xiao did not answer the call immediately.
After the phone rang for a while, he answered the call.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I was careless just now..."
The girl's anxious apology and explanation came over the phone.
"Huanhuan."
Xiao Xiao definitely called the other party's name.
The phone went quiet again.
All you could hear was the other person's muffled breathing.
…
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
He didn't expect to receive a call from the girl so soon.
Only three days had passed since they last met.
only……
There was something wrong with the emotion in the girl's voice on the phone.
"……Big brother……"
The girl finally spoke out again.
Slowing down her speaking speed, the hoarseness in the girl's voice became more obvious.
After just calling out, she fell silent again.
"Huanhuan."
Xiao Xiao turned his eyes slightly and looked at the blue sky above.
"The weather today is good."
However, there are not many days of bad weather in midsummer.
Even if there is a heavy rain, it is only temporary.
The sunny weather soon returned.
"Want to go see an art museum?"
"Today we just started the second half of the exhibition we went to last time."
"There are new works on display."
…
"……Um."
After a long time, the girl's soft answer came from the phone.
"Where are you?"
Xiao Xiao did not hang up the phone, but continued to ask, "Are you at home?"
"Tell me the address."
"I'll pick you up."
Based on the girl's current mood, he was worried that something might happen if he let the girl go out alone.
"...I'm right near the art museum."
Xiao Xiao was startled by the girl's words.
Then it became clear, so why did you think of calling him?
"I see."
"Just stay there and don't move."
"I'll be here soon."
…
Xiao Xiao walked into the living room and happened to see Xiao's grandma walking over with something.
"Xiaoxiao."
Seeing her grandson, the old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Then he stretched out the big plate in Xiao Xiao's direction and said, "Have a try on the peanut candy your grandpa just made."
Xiao Xiao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
A mouthful of peanut flavor.
"delicious."
The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes relaxed, "Your grandpa's craftsmanship is still very good."
"Well, grandpa's craftsmanship is very good."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Grandma, I want to go out for a while."
"Want to go out?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I understand."
"The sun is shining brightly outside."
"Be careful to walk under the shade of the trees."
"Such a strong sun can easily make people faint..."
The old lady babbled a few words.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."
I didn’t ask my grandson what he was doing out there.
How old is the child? Why is she still asking questions?
...
"correct."
The old man looked down at the plate full of peanut candies and said, "Would you like to grab a few pieces of peanut candies to eat on the way?"
Xiao Xiao just wanted to refuse.
But thinking of the girl, he nodded.
"OK."
Delicious food always makes people feel happy.
…
Arriving near the art museum, Xiao Xiao looked around and found no girl.
Xiao Xiao called directly.
The call was answered quickly.
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, seemingly out of doubt about Xiao Xiao's silence. The girl finally spoke up, "...Big brother?"
"I am here."
Xiao Xiao stood in front of the girl.
…
The girl who lowered her head raised her head like a voice coming from the front.
The next second, the girl opened her eyes wide, "Big brother?!"
Xiao Xiao hung up the phone.
He followed the vibrating sound of the phone and found it.
Girls seem to like him to silence their cell phones.
…
"good morning."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"this is for you."
He handed the small bag in his hand to the girl.
This is a drawstring bag with a green background and lotus pattern.
It looks quite exquisite.
The girl blinked.
Subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao nodded with slightly curved eyebrows.
The girl reached out and took the small bag.
Um?
The girl sniffed slightly.
Very fragrant.
It's...the scent of peanuts.
"It's peanut candy."
Xiao Xiao's words verified the girl's guess.
"My grandfather made it with his own hands."
"The taste...I don't think it will disappoint you."
...
peanut candy?
It's actually a name that doesn't sound very attractive to girls.
However, at this time, she naturally would not refuse her elder brother's kindness.
She pulled the drawstring.
The aroma of peanuts becomes more intense.
It also has a hint of sweetness.
It smells...very delicious.
It seems so.
The girl took out a piece of peanut candy.
She stared at the peanut candy for a while, and then took a bite carefully.
Next second-
"Hmm~"
The girl narrowed her eyes and said in a vague voice, "It's delicious."
It tasted different from the peanut candy she imagined.
She thought peanut candy would have that old taste.
She doesn't really like the sweetness of the past.
…
The girl ate three peanut candies in a row before she stopped with some unsatisfied feelings.
The crunchy peanuts in the peanut candy balance out the sweetness.
It doesn't taste greasy at all.
She felt that she could eat all the peanut candies in the bag in one sitting.
But does this make it appear that she is too good at eating?
The girl was a little embarrassed.
Besides, it's not good to make people wait for her to eat.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go see the exhibition."
…
After watching the exhibition, the girl's eyes sparkled.
The haze between his eyebrows and eyes when he first saw the girl has disappeared.
The happy expression made everyone who saw it couldn't help but laugh.
…
Xiao Xiao stopped and turned to look at the girl.
"Can you tell me what happened now?"
Avoiding is not the way to solve problems.
Now that the girl decided to call him.
At least......
Regardless of whether he can help or not, he can be a good listener.
It would be even better if he could do something for the girl's troubles.
