But this is the first time for the teahouse boy to come, so he doesn’t know whether the price is cheap or expensive.
In short, the price is what he can afford.
The boy's tense mood relaxed.
It scared him to death.
Compared to being treated as a ghost by two girls just now, he found that the fact that he might have to eat the Overlord meal made him even more nervous and uneasy.
…
Xiao Xiao probably understood the reason for the boy's sudden change of color.
After all, it’s obvious that boys are staring at the prices listed on the menu.
only……
Xiao Xiao was a little confused.
Could it be that the boy came to the teahouse due to some accident rather than his intention?
Otherwise, how could a boy do the price calculation?
Are you simply worried that it will be too expensive and don’t want to spend too much money?
Or are you worried that you can’t pay the bill?
Judging from the boy's behavior after entering the teahouse, it's hard to say which possibility it is.
…
The boy looked up and awkwardly handed the menu back to Xiao Xiao.
"Thank you, thank you."
I was a little worried in my heart. The other party wouldn't find out what he was doing, right?
He couldn't help but become restless.
Why couldn't he say no just now and just followed the other party here and sat down?
It's just that he's already here, and if he doesn't go out without drinking a bowl of tea...
It's too strange.
With this in mind, he finally suppressed the thought of leaving and chose to stay.
really......
He shouldn't think too much.
Otherwise, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
...
If I had the shamelessness to leave then, I wouldn't be as embarrassed as I am now.
Anyway, he will never come again, so what if someone talks behind his back?
The boy was thinking messily in his mind, but the look on his face was a little dull.
Although he is easily startled, he has made some progress over time.
Even though my heart was raging, the expression on my face gradually became less exaggerated.
It's just that his eyes can't hide anything.
You can detect a few things about a boy's inner emotions from the way his eyes move in panic.
…
"How are you?"
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved and his tone was gentle.
…
"Ah, still, not bad."
The boy stumbled a bit.
Then, the boy pursed his lips in frustration.
He didn't want to appear so useless.
He knew that many people disliked his sudden appearance and said that it was tiring to get along with him.
He doesn't want to either...
But he couldn't control it...
The boy took a deep breath.
Try to suppress the emotions rising in your heart.
The soreness in his nose made him frown even more.
…
"This is Philip."
Xiao Xiao's somewhat abrupt words made the boy stunned.
Wha, what?
He followed Xiao Xiao's line of sight and looked over -
ah!
is it.
He noticed it just now.
Only an accident that happened later interrupted his train of thought.
He suddenly forgot what he originally wanted to ask.
Now that the other party took the initiative, the boy instantly broke away from his previous self-pity and focused all his attention on this little creature with red stripes on a white background.
Thinking of what the other party just said...
"...It's called Phiphi?"
The boy murmured unsurely.
"it……"
The boy's mouth tightened, and then slowly raised a small arc.
"……haven't seen you for a long time……"
"do you remember me?"
The boy's voice was very soft and vague.
But at close range, Xiao Xiao could still hear it clearly.
Has this boy met Philip before?
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
…
Looks like a high school boy.
The clothes on her body are very loose due to her thin figure.
Winter clothes are already thick.
Others wear round clothes.
Boys feel empty.
It's like a child stealing an adult's clothes.
No.
This metaphor is not appropriate.
Boys are not as cute or funny as people think of children who secretly wear adult clothes.
He is more like an empty frame.
Maybe it's because the boy is nearly 1.8 meters tall.
And the skinny cheeks of boys.
So tall...but so thin...
Just looking at this makes people a little scared.
In addition, although the boy's expression is dull, there is always a sense of panic in his breath.
This makes people who are already shocked by the boy's appearance be affected by the boy's aura and be even more frightened.
Like the two girls just now, they screamed immediately.
Of course, the girls' reactions at that time were also somewhat affected by environmental factors.
If they were outside under the clear sky, at least both of them wouldn't scream.
…
Feifei ignored the boy.
He looked completely unresponsive, as if he was really sleeping.
…
There was a bit of disappointment in the boy's eyes.
His fingers moved slightly.
…
"Do you know Philip?"
Xiao Xiao broke the silence here.
…
Philipp...
"……Um."
The boy nodded slightly, his voice a bit hoarse.
"……A long time ago……"
"I have seen-"
As if he just realized it now, the boy suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Looking at Xiao Xiao, his face was full of shock and inexplicable complex emotions.
"you……"
"it……"
He looked at Feifei and then at Xiao Xiao.
His voice was stuck in his throat, and he could only produce a few short syllables at a time.
…
"...can you see it?"
"no……"
"It is not……"
Memories of the past were rushing through his mind, and the boy was incoherent, "But..."
"it……"
The boy had too many doubts, and for a moment, he was confused.
Did he misunderstand it?
Did he admit his mistake?
Will not.
He shook his head.
How could he admit his mistake for such a special and beautiful creature?
But……
He looked into Xiao Xiao's arms.
Little white fox.
Very similar to the one on the shoulder.
But if you look closely, you can see that they are different.
The question is not whether they look like...
The boy reached out and tapped his head.
But is this little white fox also...?
If so...
Looking at the upright and natural appearance of the little white fox in front of me...
The boy is not sure.
…
"Speak slowly."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"If you are not in a hurry and are willing to tell me..."
…
The boy took a deep breath.
He subconsciously raised the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
The dry throat was "soothed".
…
The boy's hands tightened.
My fingertips turned white from the exertion.
…
To say...or not to say...
The boy looked at Feifei.
Really... very similar to the one he remembered.
He didn't admit his mistake, right?
…
If that's right...
After all these years, he still remembers it.
But it no longer remembers him.
The boy smiled bitterly.
…
The boy looked around.
This is a teahouse.
It is also an antique teahouse.
Very quiet.
Ancient music flows.
Several old people gathered not far away.
Or play chess, or have a chat over tea.
The elderly all consciously kept their voices low.
Sitting in the corner, he could only hear ancient music and was not disturbed by their voices at all.
