"It turned out to be a child who grew up in a teahouse."
It is normal for Master Xiao to have some elegant aura about him.
…
"You are overly complimentary."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Looking at himself, he really couldn't tell there was anything unusual about his temperament.
…
"Excessive praise for what?"
The old man waved his hand, "No praise, no praise."
"Master Xiao is Master Xiao."
Thinking that Xiao Xiao could see Ling Feng, the old man sighed even more, "He is not an ordinary person in the first place."
…
The boy chewed the maple leaf cake slowly in his mouth.
The eyes turn left and right.
I am confused about the conversation between the old man and Xiao Xiao.
Is this... being polite?
The boy came up with a word.
…
He tilted his head slightly.
oh.
Is it a compliment?
Looking at the old man's relaxed brows, the boy nodded inwardly.
The old man likes this big brother very much.
Too.
If it wasn't for a good relationship, why would the eldest brother bring him here?
Judging from the names the eldest brother addressed the two elderly people when they met, it seems that the eldest brother and the two elderly people are not related to each other.
certainly.
This is just his guess.
If people are willing to call me by their last names... that's not impossible.
Although it seems a little more lively.
It is also relatively rare.
Like him, he always calls his grandparents directly.
At most, add another ranking sequence.
Anyway, I won’t add my last name in front of it.
Unless he is calling an elderly person who is not related to him, he will add his surname.
…
The two old men did not eat maple leaf cake.
When asked, they smiled and said that they usually eat a lot of maple leaf cake.
Not bad this time.
The two old men finished a cup of tea and left the yard to the two children.
…
The boy swallowed the maple leaf cake in his mouth.
When the old man was around before, he was embarrassed to speak.
Only when the old man talks to him, he will respond.
Otherwise, he is just a quiet background.
oh.
Quiet eating background.
He picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea.
With the help of the cover of the tea cup, he carefully observed the expressions of the old man and Xiao Xiao.
He reacted belatedly.
He was actually at the home of a strange old man, sitting in their yard drinking tea and eating snacks...
When did he become so bold?
How did all this happen?
The boy was a little confused.
It seems that...it just evolved naturally into this situation.
…
The old people are very kind.
It's just that for people he meets for the first time, he can't be more open-minded except for polite responses.
After the old man left, the boy breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
…
"very nervous?"
Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from bidding farewell to the old man and turned to look at the boy.
…
The boy suddenly felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.
He pursed his lips.
For a moment, I didn’t know how to answer?
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and changed the topic.
"alright."
"The two old men left."
"Do you have anything to ask?"
…
The boy was stunned.
What did he want to ask?
he……
…
The boy was asked.
He reached out and tapped his head.
What's wrong with him...
Before……
Because the appearance of the old man interrupted his thoughts.
Before the old man showed up...
The boy looked like he was thinking hard.
What did he think of?
What does he want to ask...
…
"Can't you remember?"
Xiao Xiao wanted to remind the boy.
But his words seemed to be misunderstood by the boys.
The boy shouted hurriedly, "No!"
"Wait a moment."
"I remembered!"
…
The boy waved his hands unconsciously.
As if to prevent Xiao Xiao from saying the next words.
Xiao Xiao reached out and moved the tea cup in front of the boy slightly.
Otherwise, the boy would have knocked over the teacup.
…
"Not urgent."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
"Think slowly."
…
The boy didn't hear Xiao Xiao's words.
He didn't even notice Xiao Xiao move his tea cup.
All his attention was on connecting his previously disconnected thoughts.
…
"ah!"
The boy's frown relaxed.
He remembered.
They were saying before... The maple tree in front of them was obviously a normal, seasonal green color, so why was a red maple leaf appearing in front of them at that time?
Then the elder brother said...
Because it knows that big brother likes red maple leaves...
At first glance there was no question about the answer.
In fact, they are all problems, okay!?
first……
This it...
The boy stared at Xiao Xiao with burning eyes.
"You said before that it knew you liked red maple leaves..."
"This it..."
"You mean this maple tree, right?"
…
The boy unconsciously held his breath.
The hands on the legs were clenched into fists.
…
"right."
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
The overly natural and taken-for-granted gesture made the boy suspicious.
"Really, really?"
In fact, this is the answer I most want to hear.
But I really heard it...
The boy hesitated.
This person... couldn't be joking with him, right?
…
"So who do you think you are?"
Xiao Xiao asked back.
…
"……I have no idea."
The boy chatted.
yes.
Besides a maple tree, who else could it be?
Besides the maple tree, who can make a maple leaf fly to the person it wants to convey?
Is there such a person?
The boy doesn't know.
Such conjecture is beyond his knowledge and ability.
Don't people like that exist only in human imagination?
Well……
If you want to put it this way...
The maple tree he is looking for also exists only in human imagination...
The maple trees are all there.
So……
The boy shook his head vigorously.
he does not know……
His head hurt thinking about it...
…
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.
He no longer gave the boy trouble.
"that's it."
He raised his eyes and looked at Ling Feng, who had appeared on the branch at some unknown time.
Her long, snow-white hair shines in the sun like sparkling "waves" on the water.
very beautiful.
It's also very dreamy.
…
"What you are looking for..."
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy again.
"Is that it?"
…
The boy was asked again.
But this time it wasn't because he couldn't remember.
But because...
He didn't know why either.
Just when he heard his elder brother ask him... was it... that he was looking for..., his mind went blank.
I was stunned for a long time.
He slowly came back to his senses.
Some of them also understood that their performance was terrible.
Maybe……
He just never thought...
It turns out... someone really asked him this question...
For a long time in the past...
Of course, it is actually still the case now.
He vaguely hoped to meet such a person...
When you see him looking around, you can ask other people...
