The boy couldn't say it to the old man if he rejected Xiao Xiao before.

For a moment, the boy was at a loss.

Don't know what you should do?

…

"come on."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Don't keep Grandpa Xu waiting."

…

This sentence is like the last straw in the boy's heart...

The boy's brain hasn't made a decision yet, but his feet have already become aware of themselves.

The boy walked towards Xiao Xiao.

After he came to his senses, the boy paused in his steps.

Didn't stop.

never mind.

The boy comforted himself.

Just went to see the maple trees.

It won't take long.

He really couldn't say no to the old man's warm greeting.

…

"Come on."

The old man leads the way with a smile.

I didn't notice the boy's inner struggle at all.

…

They come, the security.

The boy tried hard to adjust his mentality.

He raised his eyes and looked around.

What a big yard.

In other words, what a big house.

Much bigger than his home.

This yard alone is bigger than his house.

Not to mention anything else.

…

The boy was a little surprised.

The impact of this courtyard on him eliminated some of the gloom in the boy's brows.

The boy's eyes lit up a little bit.

…

"The maple tree is just ahead."

The old man puts his hands behind his back.

Not walking fast.

But very stable.

It can be seen that the old man's body is in good shape.

…

This sentence seemed to bring the boy back to reality from his dream.

He was stunned for a moment.

Right in front of...?

…

The boy pursed his lips unconsciously.

The heartbeat speeded up involuntarily.

reason……

He doesn't know either.

He didn't know why he was so nervous?

Just an ordinary maple tree.

What is he so nervous about?

It's simply baffling.

The boy complained to himself in his mind.

But I found that it did not relieve my "symptoms" at all.

The boy lowered his eyes to block the irritation in his eyes.

The hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists in frustration.

…

"arrive."

The old man's voice reached the boy's ears.

One second later-

The boy suddenly raised his head.

to, to-

The boy was stunned.

Then a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

There is a sinking feeling of weightlessness in my heart.

…

He saw the maple trees.

The delicate and special shape of maple leaves is always easy to recognize.

Eyes full of greenery.

Not a little bit red.

This is the most normal and correct appearance of maple trees in this season.

…

The boy's nails dug into his palms.

The slight pain makes my disappointment less obvious.

He was caught off guard.

What he had known for a long time, why...he was much more disappointed than he expected at this moment.

…

"The maple tree is right there."

The old man turned to look at the boy with a smile.

"Let's take a closer look."

…

The boy was a little flustered.

A smile hurriedly appeared on his face.

As for the effect...whether it is natural and not stiff...

It's not something he can care about at this time.

"Ah good."

"OK."

…

The old man is still leading the way.

The boy and Xiao Xiao followed the old man.

…

"Isn't it pretty?"

The old man looked at the maple tree beside him with pride.

"This maple tree is as big as our house."

It can be regarded as witnessing the ups and downs, joys and sorrows of their Xu family for generations.
