Noticing that Huan Ru was unconsciously slowing down due to his distraction, Xiao Xiao did not make a sound to wake him up, but also slowed down his pace a bit.
He looked up at the sky. Even if the sky was not full of stars, Liao Ruo's stars were still very beautiful.
Besides, the moonlight is very beautiful tonight.
The boundless sky no longer feels empty because of the moon.
...
In the end, Yan Ru did not stay.
It left early the next morning.
Xiao Xiao stood behind the window and watched the monster jump onto the wall and then disappear.
…
When I came back last night, I saw all the monsters in the yard, and their jaws dropped... I have to say, I was very happy.
Thinking about it now, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips.
Later, when he saw the shining eyes of Huanlu who had come back to his senses, he thought that the monster would stay.
However, it told him that it was leaving.
He was stunned for a moment, but even though he was a little regretful, he still smiled and asked, "Is there somewhere you want to go?"
Huanru shook his head.
It told him that it just wanted to walk around.
It grew up with the girl and spent a long time looking for her after she left without saying goodbye.
Obviously, these long times for humans are not that long for monsters, but for some reason it feels really long.
It doesn't want to stay in one place for the time being.
...
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and touched Huanlu's head, "Well, it's good to walk around."
Huan Rui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and threw away the hand of the human in front of him, shouting angrily, "啳啳~啳啳啳~啳~"
Human, who allowed you to touch my head?
It was in a trance because of the girl before, so it didn't care about this human's actions, but now, is this damn human's head something that a human can touch casually?
"Ah, sorry."
Xiao Xiao chuckled and apologized, "Also, my name is Xiao Xiao."
"Don't call me human."
"Otherwise I wouldn't know it was me you called."
"Gee~"
He snorted with a disdainful expression.
Who else but this human can hear its cry?
…
Originally, Yan Ru wanted to leave that night, but Xiao Xiao stopped him.
After all, even if you want to leave, there is no need to rush now.
Since we have a trip of unknown duration ahead, it would be better to have a good night's rest before departure.
…
Huan Ru was convinced.
It planned to sleep one night on the stone table under the white plum tree.
The trees full of white plums made him a little distracted. He once went to see the white plums with the girl.
The girl's surprised smile when she saw Bai Mei was still in front of her eyes.
The faint plum fragrance in his breath made him look to his side subconsciously.
There are no girls.
But it's not empty either.
"啳啳~啳啳啳~啳~"
"啳啳啳~啳~"
Human, I will probably come back in winter.
Plum blossoms should only be appreciated in winter.
When the time comes, I will eat strawberries here.
…
Strawberries in winter.
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Okay."
…
"啳~啳啳~啳啳啳~"
You can still see me, right?
"certainly."
"I will always see you."
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked up. The first ray of dawn penetrated the clouds in the sky, and the blue sky became a little clearer and more transparent.
It seems that today is another good weather.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the two black figures rushing towards him, with a smile spreading across his face like ripples.
"Tweet~"
"嘤嘤~"
"Ting, Yingshao, good morning."
His eyebrows were slightly curved and his voice was brisk.
…
On this day, the moon and stars are sparse.
Of course, the moon does not shine brightly in the city sky every day, but the lack of stars is the norm.
Xiao Xiao raised his head and searched for a few scattered stars through the gaps between the branches above his head.
...
"Time flies so fast, Xiaoxiao will go back to school tomorrow."
Xiao's grandmother and Xiao's mother each came over with a plate of cut watermelon. Looking at her grandson who reached out to take the plate in his hand, the old lady felt inspired.
It seems that the child just came back from school not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, the child is going to school again.
"Hurry to what?"
Grandpa Xiao rolled his eyes, "It's a whole two months of summer vacation."
"That's why students have such a long vacation."
As he said this, he reached for a piece of watermelon, but missed it.
The plate with watermelon was removed by the old lady.
Grandpa Xiao:......
"Old woman, what are you doing?"
"Nothing done."
The old lady looked innocent, "It's just that I cut these watermelons for my grandson to eat, not for a bad old man like you to eat."
"...I am a bad old man, and you are a bad old woman."
Grandpa Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth.
Just as Grandma Xiao was about to open her mouth, "Bang, bang, bang~"
There was a knock on the door.
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.
...
"Who?"
The old lady who had not yet sat down turned and walked towards the door.
"It's me, Old Wood!"
A strong voice came from outside the door.
Grandma Xiao opened the door, and standing outside the door were Mr. Mu, his wife and their three sons.
…
"Old wood, rare visitor."
Mr. Xiao, who walked over with his hands behind his back, smiled and joked.
Originally, wood carving was a labor-intensive job, and old wood seldom escaped through the door.
In addition, Lao Mumu's son came back some time ago and seemed to have caused a lot of trouble.
Although he didn't know exactly what the trouble was.
Even if he knew that Xiaoxiao knew the details, he and the rest of the Xiao family did not ask.
After all, it is a family matter or a scandal.
Don't show your family disgrace to anyone.
It can be seen from the fact that Lao Mumu and the others came to thank him but only mentioned a few vague words, that they did not want more people to know about their son.
...
This is the first time Lao Mumu and the others have come to their home since they came to say thank you last time.
However, Grandpa Xiao looked at the complete Lao Mumu family.
Last time they came as a family. Did something happen again?
...
"Where's Xiaoxiao?"
Mr. Mu looked past Grandpa Xiao and looked back.
"Grandpa Mu."
Xiao Xiao, who came over, smiled and said hello.
Then he looked at the old lady who was one step behind Grandpa Mu and said, "Grandma Tan, good evening."
"Hey, good evening."
Grandma Tan responded cheerfully.
...
"Well, you old idiot."
Grandpa Xiao was dissatisfied, "You only have Xiaoxiao in your eyes, do you still have me as an old neighbor?"
"No."
Mr. Mu replied smoothly.
"Pa~"
Grandma Tan slapped Mr. Mu on the back, "What did you say?"
"Old Xiao, I'm sorry, this old guy has been a little obsessed with wood carving these days, and his brain is not working very well."
"Don't mind."
Grandpa Xiao:......
"Haha, I don't mind."
Then the old man added superfluously, "I can see it."
This time it was Xiao's grandma who slapped her old man on the back.
The old lady looked helpless.
No matter how old you are, you still look like a child.
