Thinking of the conversation he heard on the way here, Xiao Xiao's expression showed a bit of condensation.

For unknown reasons, the old man's heart skipped a beat.

She reached out and touched her heart.

He frowned a little strangely.

But she didn't think deeply.

She followed the young man's gaze and looked over.

The eyes opened wider and wider.

...

The little ghost hid behind the old man.

Xiao Xiao's gaze gave him a stinging feeling of being exposed to the sun all over his body.

Very annoying feeling.

The uneasiness in its heart gradually spread.

The hand that grabbed grandma's clothes unconsciously tightened a little harder.

Then, it felt a warmth surrounding it.

It was stunned.

It looked at its own hand...the hand on top.

The old hands are covered with age spots.

Wrinkled ones don't look good at all.

But... it was very warm... and it made the heart that almost jumped out of the throat slowly fall back to its original place.

grandmother......

It raised its head and looked at the old man blankly.

...

The old man smiled gently at the kid.

Eyes narrowed.

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes relax.

The old man's face is also dotted with age spots, just like his hands.

But it also feels as warm as the hand.

...

Seeing that the child's mood had calmed down, the old man turned to look at Xiao Xiao.

There was something strange in his eyes.

This young man was the first person she met who could see the child besides her.

This also made the old man feel a little relieved.

This kid is not fake.

It's not her fantasy.

But it is real.

As for why others, no, most people couldn't see the child, she didn't know.

She didn't really care either.

She is someone who is about to put her second foot in the coffin.

I no longer have any energy for curiosity.

The child came to her side and stayed with her, which made her very happy.

...

"young people."

The old man said, "You..."

She looked at the child hiding behind her, "Can you see this child?"

Then she smiled and joked, "This kid is still shy."

"Do not be afraid."

She softly comforted the child behind her, "Xiaoxiao is a good person."

Almost all regular customers of Xiao's Teahouse know Xiaoxiao.

It happened that her physical condition began to deteriorate during the year Xiaoxiao was admitted to college.

She basically doesn't go out anymore.

Except downstairs.

She had heard many things about Xiaoxiao from other guests.

The most promising kid in the neighborhood.

He had excellent grades since childhood and was even admitted to Yenching University.

Very powerful.

She once regretted that she had no fate with that child.

I went to the teahouse several times but never saw the child.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly wanted to eat dim sum from Xiao's Teahouse last week, and she met Xiaoxiao, who only heard his name but didn't see him.

She doesn't know anything else.

But Xiaoxiao is indeed a very polite and considerate child.

He is a good boy.

"Won't hurt you."

Old people don’t really have any different aesthetics than ordinary people.

She knew that the child must have suffered a lot due to his appearance.

She felt a little distressed.

This child has been with her for a long time.

She knew that this child was a good child.

Even though he is not frank, he is a gentle child.

...

"no."

"What?"

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao doubtfully.

What did this child seem to have said just now?

"I won't hurt it."

Xiao Xiao was honest about his purpose.

In order not to cause more harm, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

...

"......What?"

The old man almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"What's the meaning?"

"you......"

The old man felt that he must have understood it wrong, "You want to hurt him?"

"Why?"

The old man's voice rose a little.

"What did he do?"

"You can't just hate him because of the way he looks and think he's a bad boy."

"He's a good kid."

The old man explained seriously.
