This kid told his friends about his story, and now he brings them to him for verification?
...
Then what?
What is he going to do?
He said to these children with a smile, yes, he still remembers the girl who has been with him for a long time?
...
That memory is his most cherished memory. Even if everyone denies it, he still insists almost stubbornly on its truth.
He no longer expects anyone else's understanding, but he cannot tolerate anyone's contempt.
...
He is not an attraction in a scenic spot, and others can let others speculate about his story.
Let them sigh and sigh, leaving the mark of their visit here.
...
The aura around Uncle Xu was no longer as gentle as it was at the beginning, but instead revealed a bit of suppressed solemnity.
...
"uncle?"
Xu Zizhen murmured, wondering why his uncle suddenly seemed angry?
Is it because he asked about that young lady?
Or did his words make his uncle feel that he doubted his persistence?
"I'm not......"
He murmured, but he was anxious and helpless to realize that he was clumsy.
Obviously I am very good at talking, but when it comes to memorizing legal provisions, it takes me a long time...
...
Zhang Bo and others were also a little at a loss.
It was the first time I visited a friend's house. As soon as they met, they seemed to have angered the other person's elders. They had never had such an experience.
...
Xiao Xiao was stunned and replayed the previous scene in his mind, especially after Uncle Xu's expression changed, he discovered the problem.
"Uncle Xu."
Xiao Xiao suddenly broke the silent and stiff atmosphere, "The reason why Xu Zizhen brought us here-"
He looked at the middle-aged man whose eyes were slightly fluctuating, and his tone was light but filled with inexplicable determination, "It's because I said I could help you find that young lady."
...
Uncle Xu was stunned again.
After his face went blank for a moment, his eyes were filled with huge waves.
His lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out when he wanted to say something.
...
The child in front of him knew what every word meant when he took it apart.
But together, he actually didn't understand the meaning of that sentence?
...
For the first time, someone not only did not question his memory, but also told him with certainty that he could help him find the young lady he had been waiting for so many years.
...
Not to help him find it, but to help him find it.
Is this...a joke?
...
"Yes, uncle."
Xu Zizhen glanced at Xiao Xiao with some gratitude, then turned to explain to his uncle: "This is Xiao Xiao."
"Because he said he might be able to help his uncle, I brought him here."
"It was his friends who helped me persuade him to come."
Xu Zizhen glanced at Zhuge Yun, Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng one by one.
...
Looking at his uncle who was stunned because of the unexpected unfolding of the "plot", Xu Zizhen paused and continued, "Uncle, I'm sorry."
...
Xu Zizhen's sudden apology made Uncle Xu look at him subconsciously, with a puzzled expression on his face.
...
"When I was a kid, I told you that I would help you find a little sister."
Xu Zizhen smiled bitterly, "I forgot it when I grew up."
...
"I clearly promised you."
"But he broke his promise."
...
"But now, I remember my promise."
Xu Zizhen showed a somewhat genuine smile, "Xiao Xiao said he could help you."
...
"I want to believe him."
"I hope I can help you, uncle."
...
The slightest anger in Uncle Xu's heart had dissipated as soon as Xiao Xiao opened his mouth to explain.
Now that he heard Xu Zizhen's words, a steady stream of warmth seemed to seep out of his heart, instantly flowing through his limbs and bones.
...
"Silly boy."
The man smiled and sighed, "No need to apologize to me."
...
The words that the little child said to him at that time really gave him great comfort.
...
It was just a choice he made without any expectations, but the child gave him such good feedback.
Flowers bloomed in his heart.
...
Even if that child grows up and forgets what he once said and the promise he once made.
But he thought it was better this way.
His memory and waiting do not need to bind more people.
It made him very happy that the child once had such a heart.
...
"Can you really help me find her?"
In order to live up to his nephew's concern for him, Uncle Xu still asked what he felt even though he didn't have any expectations.
...
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the maple tree not far away.
He caught the monster's gaze as he turned away from the middle-aged man.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then looked at Uncle Xu's nervous expression, which was still visible even though he was trying to suppress it.
"I've found it"
...
"......What?!"
Uncle Xu's voice was extremely low and hoarse, his tone was like a dream, without any sharpness.
He was so surprised that he was completely in a daze.
...
Xu Zizhen also shouted out.
He wants to believe Xiao Xiao, but he just wants to believe it.
But he didn't expect that the other party gave him such a big surprise.
...
Zhuge Yun became more and more certain of the flash of inspiration in his mind.
He recalled the scene when the youngest suddenly screamed, and there was a somewhat inexplicable feeling in his eyes.
He subconsciously looked at Zhao Luzheng and smiled with the other person in a tacit understanding.
...
"Oh? What what?"
Zhang Bo looked at Zhao Luzheng from the left and Zhuge Yun from the right, very curious about the sudden tacit understanding between the two.
"Don't let it be just the two of you."
...
"nothing."
Zhuge Yun shook his head.
...
Zhao Luzheng's eyes were fixed on Uncle Xu again.
Occasionally glanced at Xiao Xiao.
...
"Xiao Xiao, where is she?"
Xu Zizhen searched around with eager eyes. How many places could the girl hide?
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I scanned it, I still found nothing.
...
"Classmate Xiao Xiao-"
Uncle Xu regained some composure. He looked at Xiao Xiao, his serious eyes showing a great sense of oppression.
...
Xiao Xiao met Uncle Xu's gaze head-on without any evasion.
...
There was no outward self-confidence, nor any guilty conscience. It was such a natural and unwavering posture, but it showed that it was indescribable and natural.
...
Uncle Xu suddenly felt a little more confident.
There is a slight sense of expectation coming from the bottom of my heart.
"where is she?"
...
Everyone present had their eyes fixed on Xiao Xiao's expression, not missing the slightest change in it.
...
"It's right here."
Xiao Xiao's plain words were like a cannonball exploding in the ears of Uncle Xu and Xu Zizhen.
"On that maple tree."
...
Zhang Bo and others didn't react much.
They looked at the maple tree with wide eyes, and all they saw were green maple leaves.
Unexpectedly nothing gained.
Of course I can't say I'm too disappointed.
Although there is still a little bit of disappointment.
