It was the big tree he saw outside the cafe before.
Under the huge canopy, the light and shadow are dazzling.
It's so dazzling that the light and shadow are floating in the human eye.
…
Xiao Xiao took a look at the picture sent by his boss.
Just call the number above.
"Du~du~du~"
…
"beep-"
Xiao Xiao dialed the number again.
…
Meng Jixi tilted his head slightly. The boss's call came back earlier than he expected.
It is indeed as Master Xiao said.
Moreover, the contact information left by the girl back then was also found.
So far, things are going smoothly.
All that's left is...
Contact the other person.
…
After so many years, I wonder if the girl from back then moved?
The picture sent by the boss shows a landline phone number.
I think back then, young girls didn’t have their own mobile phones.
However, Meng Jixi actually thought of putting the puppets he made in a grocery store and actually took action. Meng Jixi smiled and shook his head.
What a clever girl.
The grocery store owner back then was also kind-hearted.
…
"Hello……"
The sound instantly brought back Meng Jixi's wandering thoughts.
He suddenly looked at Master Xiao.
The call is connected!
…
"Hello, is this Zhao An's home?"
There was an old lady on the other side of the phone.
It seems that my hearing is no longer very good.
"Ah, what did you say?"
The old lady shouted loudly, "I can't hear you clearly."
Xiao Xiao raised his voice and repeated what he just said.
"Zhao An?"
The old lady heard the familiar name, "An'an?"
"Are you looking for An An?"
"She moved out a long time ago."
"Why did you make this call to her?"
The old lady was a little suspicious.
She is old and her ears are not working well.
But my mind is not confused.
Has it been a few years since she received a call from An An?
…
"Zhao An and I haven't seen each other for many years."
The old man may not understand the truth when explaining it. Xiao Xiao told half the truth and half the lie, "Today I accidentally found the phone number she left behind, and I wanted to try to contact her."
"oh oh."
The old man accepted this explanation.
"Then how many years have you not seen each other..."
The old lady didn't want an answer from the young man.
The young man is looking for her daughter. Why is she talking so much?
Just know that the other person is not a bad person.
"I'll give you her phone number. Remember it."
…
"Thank you, old man."
"goodbye."
"You're welcome."
"goodbye."
The old lady hung up the phone.
…
"Master Xiao?"
Meng Jixi couldn't help but speak out.
"Asked."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The volume has also returned to normal.
…
"Very good."
Meng Jixi grinned.
"Now I can really say...this trip went smoothly."
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"Um."
"It went quite smoothly."
…
Xiao Xiao raised his head and glanced at the tree crown.
He happened to meet a pair of light-colored eyes.
He smiled.
…
Xiao Xiao dialed Zhao An's phone number.
Soon, the sound of cheerful music reached my ears.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
…
The music comes to an end.
Just when Xiao Xiao was thinking about whether to continue playing a second time or to play at a different time, the music suddenly stopped.
The call was connected.
"Hello."
A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
…
"Hello, is this Zhao An?"
"……I am."
A strange number, a strange male voice, but his name was accurately called.
Is this a sales call?
The woman regretted answering the call.
She was ready to say that she didn't have time to hang up the phone after the first sales pitch came out of the other person's mouth.
did not expect……
"Do you remember that big silver-white bird you met when you were a child?"
…
Meng Jixi was stunned.
Is it so direct?
but……
Too.
He touched his chin.
If you don't get straight to the point, the other party might think that their motives are impure.
…
The woman was stunned.
A big silvery bird?
She thought she had forgotten.
did not expect……
Just hearing these words said by the other party, long-lasting memories emerged in her mind at lightning speed.
The faded memories of the past have taken on color again, as vividly as if they happened yesterday.
turn out to be……
She never forgot.
An important playmate who accompanied her almost throughout her childhood... and a friend.
"you……"
Childhood memories resurfaced in my mind, and all kinds of emotions arose spontaneously.
For a moment, the woman didn't know how to organize her words.
…
"If you have time now, can we meet and chat?"
Xiao Xiao raised his head, and tiny bits of sunlight fell into his eyes, "An old friend of yours also wants to meet you."
Old friend?
The woman unconsciously clenched her phone.
Could it be...
"have!"
"Cough~"
The overly excited tone made the woman cough in embarrassment.
She tried to calm down her emotions and said, "Yes."
"I have time now."
"Let's meet and talk."
"good."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
…
"Let's go."
Meng Jixi didn't talk nonsense and took the lead to walk to where he parked his car.
He had just heard that Master Xiao had agreed with the other party on the meeting place.
…
Ten minutes later, Xiao Xiao and the two arrived at the agreed meeting place.
It's an outdoor cafe in a shopping mall.
Although the location was not the important point, Meng Jixi twitched the corner of his mouth because they had just come out of one cafe and entered another cafe so quickly.
Sure enough, coffee shops are now the preferred conversation spot?
...
Xiao Xiao's eyes swept around.
Then, a slight smile appeared on his face.
It seems...the other party has arrived first.
...
Xiao Xiao took steps forward.
Meng Jixi followed without hesitation.
Although he has not found anyone suspected of being Zhao An's target.
but......
We'll find out later.
...
"Hello."
Xiao Xiao politely greeted the middle-aged woman who looked at him with an uncertain expression.
"You are......"
The middle-aged woman blurted out.
She was a little suspicious when she saw this young man walking towards her just now.
only......
The other party looked too determined.
She almost thought that the other person was here to ask for directions, rather than to meet someone whose appearance she didn't know when they met for the first time.
...
"I'm the one who called you just now."
Xiao Xiao introduced himself, "My name is Xiao Xiao."
"Hello, aunt."
"This is my friend, Meng Jixi."
Meng Jixi smiled at the middle-aged woman and said, "Hello."
...
"Oh, hello."
The middle-aged woman was still a little confused.
"How did you recognize me?"
She couldn't help but ask.
...
"There are no female guests of similar age to you nearby."
"Pfft~"
There was a strange sound coming from the side.
Xiao Xiao turned his head.
I saw the backs of the two girls leaving in a hurry.
