"Master Xu Er, are you going to invite Master Xiao to dinner tonight?"

Wang Tong asked suddenly.

...

"……Um."

Xu Qingzhu responded hesitantly, as if he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tong's eyes narrowed into a slit and asked him happily, "Can I be together?"

...

Xu Qingzhu:...

He felt a sense of laughter and crying.

...

Seeing Xu Qingzhu silent, Wang Tong continued to work hard, "Really, I'll sit outside."

"When you get chatting, I'll come in again."

"How is it, Mr. Xu?"

...

"It seems you rejected him."

When Xiao Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly.

Obviously, when he came, he didn't see the big belly Mr. Wang.

...

Xu Qingzhu nodded and confirmed Xiao Xiao’s guess, then said: “But I promised him to hand over this hand to Master Xiao.”

He took out a business card from the business card holder he carried with him and handed it to Xiao Xiao.

...

Xiao Xiao took it and saw a very clean business card with only one name and phone number on it.

...

"Old Wang really hopes that Master Xiao will not refuse to answer his phone next time he calls."

Xu Qingzhu said casually, thinking of Lao Wang's repeated instructions to him at noon, a little laughing smile could not help but seep out of the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

...

Xiao Xiao was also a little laughed. He glanced at the number on the business card and put it away.

"Okay, I think he should be able to call me next time."

...

“Haha~”

Xu Qingzhulang laughed out loud.

Compared to the first time meeting, the aura around him was a little brighter, and there was no faint shadow between his eyebrows.

...

"Master Xiao."

With a restrained smile, Xu Qingzhu's expression showed a very serious expression, "The other children were there yesterday, after all, it was a bit inconvenient."

He stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, thank you."

...

Xiao Xiao was stunned, then a little bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Uncle Xu, please get up."

...

After a few breaths, Xu Qingzhu slowly stood up.

He showed a touching smile at Xiao Xiao, "Yesterday was the first time I heard her voice."

“This is really a big surprise.”

"Thank you, Master Xiao."

...

Xu Qingzhu is not a fool.

He has been with Ling Feng for more than ten years, and it can almost be said that he has remembered Ling Feng by his side.

In the next few decades, he did not give up waiting for Ling Feng to come back.

That maple tree was the place he had been in the longest in the past.

That's it, he never heard Ling Feng's voice once.

I have never seen the maple tree change color for him.

...

It was Master Xiao who came, the maple tree changed color, and Ling Feng even called his name.

If there is no connection between this, he would never believe it.

...

But, "I always feel a little sad."

Xu Qingzhu sat back in her seat and suddenly said.

He had been with her for so long, but it was because of outsiders that she responded to his waiting.

...

If it weren't for Master Xiao, would she have planned to never let him know about her existence?

...

They are clearly close.

But did she really watch him fall into endless waiting for her disappearance?

...

You should know that he was almost crazy when he discovered that she had disappeared.

Can nothing of his pain, his unwillingness, his resentment, his confusion, his fear, his worries, and his tears, all of these things make her call his name?

...

Although Xu Qingzhu didn't continue to say it, Xiao Xiao quickly understood what his sadness meant.

This is also the question he once asked Ling Feng.

...

Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Qingzhu, who showed melancholy and bitterness, and hesitated to tell the truth to him? Or make up a nice lie?

...

"Does she have any hidden secrets?"

After misunderstanding Xiao Xiao's silence, Xu Qingzhu expressed his guess.

Or, the guess you hope.

...

"Uncle Xu, it's a monster."

Xiao Xiao still chose to tell him frankly, and he felt that the other party had the right to know the truth.

Uncle Xu paused, and he couldn't react at all. After a few seconds, he said in confusion: "Well, I know."

"You told me."

......

"Monster cultivation focuses on cause and effect."

"If it forcibly maintains its connection with you, it will produce unnecessary cause and effect."

"This is hindering its practice."

Xiao Xiao paused, looked at Uncle Xu's stunned expression, and explained a few more words, "It is extremely difficult for plants and trees to become monsters."

"It takes thousands of years to turn into a human form."

Therefore, its caution is understandable.

Moreover, "the monster is cold by nature."

"Especially the monster whose body is grass and trees."

"They don't understand love, they don't understand love."

......

"Ling Feng probably doesn't understand how you feel for Uncle Xu all the time."

“It feels like you’re doing well.”

"It knows that you get married and that you have children."

......

“It also regrets that your child cannot see it.”

......

Xu Qingzhu felt a little confused.

After a long time, he finally spoke, but asked, "That Ling Feng talked to me yesterday-"

“Isn’t it okay?”

A little worried look appeared in his eyes.

......

Xiao Xiao looked at Uncle Xu with some surprise.

He thought that even if Uncle Xu was not angry, he might have some estrangement from Ling Feng.

Unexpectedly...

He couldn't help but smile, "It doesn't matter."

"You didn't see it."

“It just makes you hear it.”

"It won't cause much cause."

"This price is completely within its tolerance."

......

"Is that so? That's good."

Uncle Xu's somewhat tense face relaxed.

......

"But Uncle Xu, it's probably difficult for you to hear its sound again later."

Xiao Xiao reminded Uncle Xu.

......

"Ah, it doesn't matter."

Uncle Xu shook his head, "I'm already satisfied."

He showed some hesitation on his face. After a few confusions, he spoke with difficulty, "Ling Feng... still remember me?"

"it-"

Have you always regarded him...as a friend?

He suddenly couldn't ask.

He also wanted to ask if he thought she remembered his name was a misunderstanding?

In fact, she had forgotten, but Master Xiao told her.

......

“It remembers you.”

"Remember your name, too."

Xiao Xiao's tone was soothing and he spoke slowly so that Uncle Xu could hear it more clearly, "It blurted out your name at that time."

"And although I asked it to call your name once."

"But I'm not sure it will definitely agree."

"But, even if it was a little embarrassed, it agreed without hesitation for too long."
