He was also worried that if he arrived at the door and found Master Xiao already waiting there... he would be a little embarrassed.
Master Xiao wants him to see Crow Crow...
Have done so much...
He even came here to pick him up...
The boy was very touched.
How could he still make Master Xiao wait for him?
…
Since the day his father disappeared from his life, the boy has felt a lot... To say malicious is an exaggeration...
Of course, it can never be called goodwill.
It's somewhere in between, leaning towards the feeling of malice.
He felt uncomfortable for a long time.
I also felt uncomfortable for a long time.
Fortunately I have a mother.
Fortunately... there are crows.
Master Xiao...
It was the greatest kindness the boy felt from a stranger after that day.
While he was anxiously waiting for Master Xiao's call these days, every time he thought of it, he would feel warm in his heart.
He feels he is very lucky.
He was very grateful to Master Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
Just have breakfast.
He was worried that the boy would neglect breakfast because he was in a hurry.
I thought that if the boy didn't eat, he would stop the car at a breakfast shop and buy some food for the boy.
Now it seems that the boy doesn't need to worry so much.
…
For the rest of the journey, the only sound in the car was the music streaming from the radio.
The lazy female voice makes people who get up early on holidays feel a little lazy.
…
The car stopped.
"Here we are."
Xiao Xiao reminded the boy, "Get off the car."
…
"Ah? Oh oh."
The boy nodded in confusion.
He was distracted just now.
Have you ever wondered what will happen when you get there?
Is he...really going to see Crow Crow?
The day has finally come.
He actually felt a little unreal.
…
Xiao Xiao had already greeted the two elderly people in advance.
He knocked on the door several times.
He patiently lowered his hands and waited for the old man to open the door.
…
"Master Xiao."
The boy finally found his chance.
He took money out of his pocket.
The first time he paid someone back made his face turn red uncontrollably.
"This is the car payment from last time."
I received a call from Master Xiao before and he spent some time preparing the money.
Fortunately, he had already prepared the envelope after the last goodbye.
The envelope contained the fare for the last time Master Xiao took him to Grandpa Xu's house and the fare for taking him home.
This time he took almost all his "savings" with him when he came out.
The fare for Master Xiao to pick him up, the fare for Master Xiao to take him to Grandpa Xu's house...the boy counted them one by one.
Maybe there's also the fare for Master Xiao to take him home.
The boy didn't miss a single stroke.
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I think you misunderstood one thing."
…
Um?
The boy's face showed a bit of confusion.
What?
…
"I-"
Xiao Xiao did not continue.
He looked in the direction of the door.
He heard footsteps coming closer and closer from behind the door.
…
"Put the money away first."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows at the boy.
The boy opened his mouth.
But the next second, he closed his mouth.
He also heard the footsteps coming from behind the door.
He looked towards the closed door.
This is my second time in this room.
It is different from the first time when I was passive and a little resistant.
This time, just standing at the door, his heart was beating fast.
…
The door was opened from the inside.
The boy put away his money in a panic.
…
"Grandpa Xu."
Xiao Xiao arched his eyebrows.
"Good morning."
"Sorry to disturb you by coming so early."
…
"What are you disturbing?"
The old man waved his hand.
"You came just in time."
"The old lady went out to play with her good sisters early in the morning."
"Leave the old man alone."
The old man smiled.
"You guys are here, it just makes the house lively."
"The old man welcomes you."
…
Under Mr. Xu's warm greeting, Xiao Xiao and the boy walked into the Xu family mansion.
….
Still on the stone table under the maple tree, the old man prepared tea and snacks for them.
Seeing the old man's cheerful look, Xiao Xiao smiled and said thank you.
He took a bite of the snack.
"delicious."
He looked at the old man and raised his eyebrows.
…
“As long as it’s delicious.”
The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes relaxed.
"This is from the old lady's friend."
"The praise is overwhelming."
"The old man ate it. It's delicious."
“But it’s not so delicious as to be exaggerated.”
"Really, I'm a lot older, but I still act like a young man, and my reaction is so big..."
The old man thought quietly.
"...The old man will tell you this."
"That guy cares about age."
"Who told her she was old? Who is she worried about?"
"Fortunately, the old lady is not like her."
"Well."
"The old lady looks much younger than she is..."
The old man's obvious "pull and step" made Xiao Xiao laugh a little.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
…
"Ahem~"
The old man cleared his throat.
"The old man is just speaking objectively..."
The old man shut his mouth.
At this time, whatever he said seemed a little awkward.
never mind.
The old man decisively changed the subject.
"The old man knows that there must be something wrong with you coming here."
"You can do it yourself."
"The old man went back to the house."
"I won't get in the way here."
….
The old man waved his hand.
So he simply left slowly with his hands behind his back.
…
Xiao Xiao and the boy were the only ones left in the yard.
…
Xiao Xiao looked up at the white-haired monster that appeared on the branch.
"Lingfeng."
…
It seemed that he understood what Xiao Xiao wanted to know. Without waiting for Xiao Xiao to ask, Ling Feng took the lead in answering, "It will be back soon."
…
The gray-haired monster looks like he has ADHD.
Can't calm down.
His face was full of curiosity.
But Lingfeng ignored it.
It wandered outside on its own.
Came back in a few minutes.
…
When Master Xiao arrived, the gray-haired monster had gone out for the fourth time.
Ling Feng twitched his eyes slightly.
The gray-haired monster simply doesn't go out for long.
The longest one was only about ten minutes.
It has been two or three minutes since the gray-haired monster went out for a walk.
It won't be long before the gray-haired monster comes back.
…
"OK."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Lingfeng, thank you."
Please ask Ling Feng to "tell the news" for them.
…
Ling Feng shook his head slightly.
"Master Xiao Xiao, you're welcome."
Originally, it was asking Master Xiao Xiao for help.
What it does is natural.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the boy.
"Let's wait a while."
"Have you had any snacks?"
Xiao Xiao had a smile on his face.
"tasty."
"Taste it."
…
"oh……"
The boy forced himself to sit down.
He allowed himself to pick up another piece of snack.
However, he really had no intention of eating.
All he could think about was that he was about to see Crow Crow.
