He had been with her for so many years, and he could always see her.
Why can't he see him all of a sudden?
Too strange.
It's too baffling.
...
"That's probably what the old man said, your fate with it is over."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Seeing Uncle Xu's confused and unwilling to believe expression, he didn't speak again.
Because that's the truth.
...
"Is that so?"
Uncle Xu finally withdrew his gaze as if giving up, muttering to himself, with a look of despair on his face.
...
In fact, he had some small expectations in his heart before.
Looking forward to Master Xiao allowing him to see her again.
Have you been thinking about each other for so many years, waiting for so many years, but in the end you can't even see the other person's appearance?
...
During the long wait, he was curious about how she would change?
But when he thought about how the other person had not changed in the past ten years of getting along, he thought, his little sister is still the same as he remembered her, right?
...
It's just that it's been too long since the last time we met.
Even though he was always reminiscing, he had to find with some panic that her appearance gradually became blurred in his memory.
Therefore, he wanted to see her again before he completely forgot what she looked like.
After meeting this time, he will probably never forget it in his life.
...
"No?"
Uncle Xu sighed melancholy.
However, after all, he was not the same young man who panicked when he suddenly discovered that she was missing.
He is mature enough to face such a result.
…
Moreover, this result was already countless times better than what he had expected in the past.
At least, he learned a lot of facts that he thought he would never know.
For example, she was fine and there was no accident like he had worried about.
She didn't leave without saying goodbye.
She was always there, but he couldn't see her anymore.
…
His friendship with her never disappeared.
He has waited for her for so many years.
She also watched him wait for her for so many years.
…
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
…
As long as he thought that he was not the only one waiting under the maple tree for so many years, in fact, she had always been there, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
…
"She's fine, isn't she?"
Uncle Xu couldn't help but confirm.
…
"Well, it's good."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
…
"That's good, that's good."
Uncle Xu finally showed a relieved smile.
That's fine.
The miss between him and her was neither his fault nor her fault.
Just because he is a human and she is a demon.
And he never saw her again from that day on.
It was he who "lost" her.
…
He is fine now too.
After knowing that she was fine, he was completely relieved.
…
"uncle."
Xu Zizhen looked at Uncle Xu worriedly.
…
"I'm fine."
Uncle Xu smiled gently and shrugged helplessly, "After all, this is a helpless thing."
…
Uncle Xu's tone was brisk, but the room fell into silence.
…
"Buzz buzz~"
The quiet private room made the vibration of the mobile phone clearly audible.
Everyone felt a little startled and subconsciously looked at their phones.
…
"Sorry, it's my phone number."
Uncle Xu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, his face showed a bit of helplessness after a moment of surprise, "It's Lao Wang."
"He has been very concerned about my progress since he learned yesterday that I was coming to see Master Xiao."
…
"Speaking of-"
Uncle Xu suddenly looked at Xiao Xiao and laughed.
Xiao Xiao:?
"Lao Wang said that he had called Master Xiao several times and wanted to invite Master Xiao out for dinner."
"But those calls-"
"Master Xiao didn't answer any of them."
…
"Pfft~haha~"
Zhang Bo and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The third guy won't answer calls from strangers as soon as he sees them."
“I’ll still answer the strange phone calls I’ve seen made several times before.”
"But after the third brother received several marketing calls, even if the other party called for a week in a row, the third brother would not answer the call."
…
"Haha~"
Uncle Xu and Xu Zizhen couldn't help but laugh.
…
Xiao Xiao:......
…
The phone rang a few times and then hung up.
Uncle Xu calmly glanced at the darkened cell phone and said, "I'll call him back later."
"He must want to know about Master Xiao."
"I let him bother me all night yesterday, now let him wait."
…
Everyone had smiles on their faces,
…
"Buzz buzz~"
Xiao Xiao took out his mobile phone, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.
…
"Master Xiao, this is my number."
"I hope the next time I call you won't be treated as a spam call."
Uncle Xu shook the phone in his hand slightly and said with a smile.
…
"Uncle, goodbye."
"Uncle Xu, goodbye."
At the door of the restaurant, everyone waved goodbye to Xu Qingzhu.
…
"Well, bye everyone."
Uncle Xu looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Master Xiao, I really want to thank you this time."
"You can call me anytime if you need anything."
…
"Uncle Xu-"
When everyone was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Xiao shouted.
Uncle Xu:?
"Master Xiao, what's the matter?"
…
"Have you gone to see the maple trees in the courtyard this morning?"
Xiao Xiao's question made Uncle Xu shake his head strangely, "No."
"Because my mind was very confused, I stayed at home all morning and then came here."
…
"Then you should find time to take a look."
Uncle Xu's answer did not exceed Xiao Xiao's expectations.
Because, if Uncle Xu had visited the maple tree, he thought, the other party would not be so calm, nor would he not mention it at the previous dinner table.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled, with a bit of mystery in his tone, "Maybe there will be a surprise."
…
surprise?
Uncle Xu was stunned. Just when he wanted to ask Master Xiao in more detail, he found that Master Xiao had already turned around and left.
He closed his slightly open mouth.
…
What a surprise.
Since Master Xiao said it was a surprise, it must be a surprise.
But, I don’t know what the surprise is?
…
Uncle Xu suddenly made a decision: next he would go to the courtyard for a walk.
Let’s go and see what Master Xiao’s so-called surprise is?
…
Could it be...that he could see her?
But Master Xiao had clearly denied his request before.
He also accepted that he would never see her again.
…
Could it be...this surprise?
…
Uncle Xu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few minutes.
He couldn't wait.
…
"Buzz buzz~"
The vibrating sound of the phone interrupted his increasingly excited mood due to possible speculations.
He took a deep breath and calmed down his too rapid heartbeat.
