The old lady let the old man massage her wrist gently.
Young people are very powerful.
Her old woman's body could not withstand such force.
...
She looked at the old man.
This young man...doesn't he have a brain problem?
...
"Haha, young man, you have good eyesight, this is a white plum."
The old man motioned to the old lady to find his son, and he would deal with it here first.
...
"Then why doesn't it bloom?!"
The young man's excited question stunned both the old man and the old lady who had not gone far.
No flowers?
...
"Young man, are you kidding me?"
The old lady couldn't help but turn around and said, "This is a plum tree."
"Nature blooms in winter."
"No matter what happens, it will never bloom in summer."
...
"I've never heard of plum trees that bloom in summer."
The old lady muttered.
...
"Young man, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the young man's shocked look, the old man was very puzzled. Then he thought that the young man might have a brain problem, and it was not so strange anymore.
He winked at the old lady.
Go quickly!
...
The old lady nodded and deliberately stayed away from the young man, passing him to the teahouse in front.
...
"Ah~"
The young man suddenly screamed frantically and murmured: "No, no..."
"its not right!"
The man woke up screaming.
...
"Guest, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you have a nightmare?"
...
The unfamiliar voice startled the man.
He blinked, and the familiar environment told him that he was in Xiao's Teahouse.
He looked at the boy in front of him who was wearing the same uniform as his boss but was much younger.
The waiter here?
I didn't see it yesterday.
...
yesterday?
Memories from before came flooding back.
"Zhila~"
The chair legs made a screeching sound as they rubbed against the ground.
The man had already ran out.
...
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and looked at the little white monster on his shoulder.
...
"Coffee~"
Feifei's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and he smiled a little proudly.
...
Xiao Xiao rubbed the little guy's head and then stepped up to follow the man who ran away before.
...
No need to guess, he also knew that the man should have gone to the yard.
...
really.
Xiao Xiao stopped and looked at the absent-minded man under the white plum tree.
...
The man's eyes reflected a plum tree covered with green leaves.
Occasionally, a breeze blows by, making the leaves rustle.
There was a overlap of light and shadow in the man's eyes.
...
The disbelief in his eyes gradually shattered.
It turned into a feeling of loss.
...
"guest?"
Xiao Xiao stepped forward at the right time.
...
"I seem to have had a dream."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sunlight that penetrated the branches dazzled him a little.
"I thought this plum tree was in bloom."
"I also want to buy this plum tree from the boss."
...
"Because my goddess likes plum blossoms very much."
"Especially the white plum."
...
"Pfft~plum trees blooming in summer."
"Thanks to me, I took it seriously."
The man shook his head.
...
"Are you working? Or-"
After thinking about it, the man still didn't want to give up.
...
"I am the boss's son."
Xiao Xiao answered knowingly.
...
"Then it's true that the white plum tree in your yard hasn't bloomed in the past few days?"
The man's eyes were burning.
...
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Guest, why do you ask that?"
...
"Maybe he was sleepy."
The man laughed self-deprecatingly, "Don't worry."
...
"Guest, this is a private residence. Please go back to the teahouse in front."
Xiao Xiao politely asked people to leave.
...
"oh oh."
The man nodded casually, but there was still a bit of trance in his eyes.
"Excuse me."
The man apologized and walked back to where he came from.
There was a little bit of unsteadiness in his steps.
...
"Since all I saw yesterday were plum trees that had not bloomed, why should I come here today?"
The man muttered vaguely, "Oh, I just want to take a look again. Did I see it wrong yesterday?"
...
"It seems that I saw it correctly yesterday."
"My memory is wrong."
...
"Maybe I've drank too much these past few days."
"My mind is no longer clear."
...
"Looks like I'm a bit more restrained."
"Otherwise it would even be an illusion."
...
The man muttered all the way back to his seat.
He picked up the already cold tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.
The bitter taste made his whole body tremble.
Even my chaotic brain became a little clearer.
...
It seems like it would be nice to drink some tea occasionally.
The man thought to himself.
He reached out and poured another cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
There is quite a bit of boldness in the movements.
...
As he drank cups of tea, the fog in the man's eyes disappeared. Although his brows were slightly wrinkled due to the astringent taste on his tongue, his face showed a bit of joy.
...
The man drank a whole pot of tea quickly.
"Duh~"
He put down his teacup and said, "Waiter, pay."
...
Looking at the door that opened and closed, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
...
"Xiaoxiao, he's back?!"
Xiao's mother walked to Xiao Xiao's side, looked at the empty space by the window, and then looked at the door that had just been closed, her face full of surprise.
...
"Xiaoxiao, how did you do it?"
Mother Xiao's tone was full of disbelief.
Isn't this too fast?
She remembered that Xiaoxiao told her that he planned to talk to the buyer again in the afternoon...
...
"Because he discovered that the blooming plum trees were just a dream of his."
Xiao Xiao shrugged, "Since it is an ordinary plum tree, he naturally has no interest in buying it."
...
"A dream?"
Mother Xiao was puzzled, but at this time a new guest came in.
She didn't bother to ask any more questions, and with a smile on her face, she greeted the new guest.
...
Xiao Xiao cleared the table belonging to the man surnamed He, and was "driven" back to the back room by Xiao's mother.
"There aren't many guests, so I don't need your help here."
"Go and play by yourself."
...
Xiao Xiao:......
He is not a child anymore, he goes to play by himself...
...
After a moment of silence, Xiao Xiao followed Xiao's mother's wishes and went back to the back room.
...
He took a book, made a pot of tea, and several plates of snacks, and came to the foot of the white plum tree.
...
Mei Nu appeared in front of him.
The ice muscles and jade bones all over his body seemed to exude a faint chill.
...
"never mind."
There was a faint smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
It's very interesting that Mei Nu pretends not to care even though she clearly cares.
"He doesn't want to buy white plums anymore."
...
Mei Nu smiled solemnly.
After saluting Xiao Xiao, he slowly disappeared into the trunk of the white plum tree behind him.
"Rustling, rustling~"
The branches full of white plum blossoms swayed slightly, and the crystal clear petals were filled with sunlight.
...
Xiao Xiao was lying on the recliner, holding a scroll in one hand.
The other hand occasionally takes a snack and puts it into his mouth.
...
He turned his head and saw that the tray with refreshments was surrounded by monsters.
Monsters of different shapes all had expressions on their faces that looked like satiation.
He smiled and looked at the only plate of snacks that had not been touched by monsters.
