He decided to go to the courtyard to find his uncle this weekend.
...
Because he had made a decision in his heart, he suddenly felt relaxed in his heart.
He didn't mind any questions Zhuge Yun and the others might ask.
...
Although Zhuge Yun and the others did not know Xu Zizhen's psychological changes, they did know that Xu Zizhen must have misunderstood something.
...
"Xu Zizhen."
Zhuge Yun spoke and glanced at Xiao Xiao.
Since there was no response, he took it as the third child and agreed.
"If your uncle's little sister is really a monster-"
Zhuge Yun paused.
...
Xu Zizhen's originally somewhat relaxed expression revealed a bit of confusion and confusion due to Zhuge Yun's unexpected words.
But I didn't know why but I felt a little nervous.
If his uncle's little sister is a monster...
What will happen?
...
As if he had a premonition of something, Xu Zizhen's eyes were fixed on Zhuge Yun, and his heart in his chest was beating faster and faster unconsciously.
A dull "bang~bang~" echoed in his ears and brain.
...
"The third child may be able to help your uncle meet that young lady."
Zhuge Yun finally spoke.
But Xu Zizhen suddenly opened his eyes wide.
What's the meaning?
Did he hear correctly?
You didn’t understand it wrong, right?
Zhuge Yun indeed means...
"You mean, if my uncle's little sister is really a monster-"
He turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao with an almost stubborn look, "Xiao Xiao has a way to let my uncle see that young lady?!"
"is this real?"
Xu Zizhen's eyes fluctuated violently, and he confirmed in an unsteady and low voice.
...
Zhuge Yun also turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
...
Xiao Xiao, who was the focus of everyone's attention, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said calmly, "I'm not sure."
"We have to wait until we see your uncle to tell you everything."
...
Since he didn't stop Zhuge Yun when he "pushed" him out, he also wanted to help Xu Zizhen's uncle in his heart.
...
After hearing about this incident by chance, Xiao Xiao naturally couldn't just ignore it as a story in a news report.
Xu Zizhen gave him good senses.
Moreover, he could see that Zhuge Yun and others wanted to help Xu Zizhen.
So, maybe he can easily realize this idea, what reason does he have for rejecting it?
...
"Really, really?"
Xu Zizhen murmured, as if he was sure but also in disbelief.
...
"of course it's true."
Zhuge Yun patted his chest and assured Xiao Xiao, "The third child is very powerful."
"As long as that young lady is really a monster, the third child will definitely be able to help your uncle."
"Maybe the third child can directly help your uncle find that young lady."
...
"Yes, the third brother is doing the work, don't worry."
Zhang Bo looked cheerful and matter-of-fact.
...
"Third brother is a real expert."
"As long as I see your uncle, if the third brother says yes, it will be absolutely fine."
As Xiao Xiao's number one fan in dormitory 417, Zhao Luzheng did not hesitate to praise him, "Third brother will definitely find that young lady."
...
The look Xu Zizhen looked at Xiao Xiao was magical.
However, since he was willing to believe his uncle's story that sounded bizarre to others, he was also willing to believe that the boy in front of him was really as powerful as his companions said.
...
Besides, why did they need to deceive him?
They just met today.
It was he who took the initiative.
He can feel the kindness of the other party.
...
Regardless of whether they helped in the end or not, he was very grateful to them and their concern for his uncle's affairs.
"thank you all."
Xu Zizhen bowed slightly to Xiao Xiao and others, "Thank you very much."
...
"Oh, you're welcome."
Zhuge Yun waved his hand, causing Zhang Bo to roll his eyes, "What do you mean you're not polite? It's not like you're helping."
"The third person will be the one to contribute when the time comes."
"People are polite, but you are not."
...
"My role is very important, right?"
Zhuge Yun was a little angry, "Without me, how could Xu Zizhen let Lao San know about this?"
"If the third child doesn't know about this, how can he help Xu Zizhen?"
...
"Well, I appreciate all of you."
Xu Zizhen nodded seriously and echoed Zhuge Yun's words, "You are all very good and you have all helped me a lot."
...
Everyone present felt a little embarrassed by Xu Zizhen's remarks.
In fact, they didn't really do anything.
It was just a story told by Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen's solemn thanks made them feel a little "stressed out".
...
"Then when will we go find your uncle?"
Somewhat unable to bear the atmosphere at this time, Zhao Luzheng asked.
...
"Is this weekend okay?"
Xu Zizhen revealed the decision he had just made, "My uncle always goes back to my great-grandfather's courtyard house on weekend mornings."
"He'll stay under that maple tree all morning."
...
"Does your uncle go back to the courtyard every weekend?"
Zhuge Yun asked curiously.
...
"Basically yes."
Xu Zizhen nodded, "Unless there is something that prevents him from leaving."
...
Before my uncle got married, he lived in his grandparents' courtyard house.
After getting married, my uncle originally wanted to continue living in the courtyard.
Anyway, the house is big enough.
Moreover, his grandparents had already passed away by that time.
There are even more empty rooms.
...
But my uncle's parents didn't agree.
Other adults don't agree either.
They all believed that if their uncle continued to stay in the courtyard, his "illness" would never be cured.
That red maple tree has become a curse for my uncle.
...
My uncle's parents even thought about cutting down the red maple tree, but my uncle tried their best to stop them.
In order to keep Hongfeng, his uncle chose to follow the elders' arrangements and moved out of the courtyard.
...
"Your uncle is really too persistent."
Zhang Bo expressed his feelings.
If it were him, he felt that he probably couldn't do this.
He would choose to bury that memory, that important existence deep in his memory.
When he gets old and can accept the other person's departure calmly, he will take it out from time to time to reminisce.
Think about the times you used to get along with the other person.
I wonder if he, who is already old, can still remember the other person's appearance by that time?
...
"yes."
Xu Zizhen smiled bitterly.
Uncle is really too persistent.
After so many years, I still haven’t let go
...
However, there is no letting go until you let go.
Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that everything had its own destiny.
...
If it hadn't been for his uncle's insistence, he wouldn't have kept his uncle's story in his heart even though he thought it was a bit ridiculous.
He wouldn't have chosen to talk to Zhuge Yun after accidentally hearing his words today.
