Chapter 1817 Peanut Candy
“Tweet~”
Lin grabbed the vibrating cell phone and flew happily towards Xiao Xiao who was leaning on the recliner.
Xiao Xiao turned his head, with a slight smile on his face.
He spread his palms.
The phone fell firmly into his palm.
"Thank you, Jin."
“Tweet~”
Lin tilted his head, flapped his wings, and screamed loudly.
"嘤~"
Yingshao rolled his eyes.
A silly look on his face.
……
It's an unfamiliar number.
Xiao Xiaogang didn't want to pay attention.
A suspicion suddenly flashed through my mind.
He stretched out his hand a little and took it back.
Will it...
Xiao Xiao answered the phone.
"..."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone.
However, Xiao Xiao could clearly hear the other party's rapid breathing.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hello."
He spoke out.
"..."
There was still no sound from the other end of the phone.
And-
There was no sound of breathing either.
Looking at the hung up phone, Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
"Buzz buzz~"
After just a second, the phone vibrated again.
Same number.
Xiao Xiao didn't answer the call immediately.
After the phone rang for a while, he answered the call.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I was not careful just now..."
The girl's anxious apology and explanation came over the phone.
"Huanhuan."
Xiao Xiao definitely called the other party's name.
The phone went quiet again.
Only the other party's suppressed breathing could be heard.
……
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
He didn't expect to receive a call from the girl so soon.
It had only been three days since they last met.
Just...
There was something wrong with the emotion in the girl's voice on the phone.
"...big brother..."
The girl finally spoke up again.
Slowing down her speaking speed, the hoarseness in the girl's voice became more obvious.
After just shouting, she fell silent again.
"Huanhuan."
Xiao Xiao turned his eyes slightly and looked at the blue sky above.
"It's a nice day today."
However, there are not many days of bad weather in midsummer.
Even if there is a heavy rain, it is only temporary.
The nice sunny weather soon returned.
"Want to go to an art museum?"
"Today we just started the second half of the exhibition we went to last time."
"There are new works on display."
……
"...Hmm."
After a long time, the girl's soft answer came from the phone.
"Where are you?"
Xiao Xiao did not hang up the phone, but continued to ask, "Are you at home?"
"Tell me the address."
"I'll pick you up."
Based on the girl's current mood, he was worried that something might happen if the girl went out alone.
"...I'm near the art museum."
Xiao Xiao was startled by the girl's words.
Then it became clear, was that why you thought of calling him?
"I know."
"Just stay there and don't move."
"I'll be here soon."
……
Xiao Xiao walked into the living room and happened to see Xiao's grandma walking over with something.
"Xiaoxiao."
Seeing her grandson, the old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Then he stretched out the big plate in Xiao Xiao's direction and said, "Try the peanut candy your grandpa just made."
Xiao Xiao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
A mouthful of peanut flavor.
“It’s delicious.”
The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes relaxed, "Your grandpa's craftsmanship is still very good."
"Well, grandpa's craftsmanship is very good."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Grandma, I want to go out for a while."
"Are you going out?" The old lady was stunned, then nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
"The sun is bright outside."
"Be careful to walk under the shade of the trees."
"Such a strong sun can easily make people faint..."
The old lady babbled a few words.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."
He didn’t ask his grandson what he was doing out there.
How old is the child? Why is she still asking all kinds of questions?
"That's right."
The old man looked down at the plate full of peanut candies and asked, "Want to grab a few peanut candies to eat on the way?"
Xiao Xiao just wanted to refuse.
But thinking of the girl, he nodded.
"Okay."
Delicious food always makes people feel happy.
……
Arriving near the art museum, Xiao Xiao looked around and found no girl.
Xiao Xiao called directly.
The call was answered quickly.
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, seemingly out of confusion about Xiao Xiao's silence. The girl finally spoke up, "Big brother?"
"I'm here."
Xiao Xiao stood in front of the girl.
……
The girl who lowered her head raised her head like a voice coming from the front.
The next second, the girl opened her eyes wide, "Big brother?!"
Xiao Xiao hung up the phone.
He followed the vibrating sound of the phone and found it.
Girls seem to like to silence their phones just like him.
……
"Good morning."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"This is for you."
He handed the small bag in his hand to the girl.
This is a drawstring bag with a green lotus pattern.
It looks quite exquisite.
The girl blinked.
He glanced at Xiao Xiao subconsciously.
Xiao Xiao nodded with slightly curved eyebrows.
The girl reached out and took the small bag.
Um?
The girl sniffed slightly.
It smells so good.
It's...the smell of peanuts.
"It's peanut candy."
Xiao Xiao's words confirmed the girl's guess.
"My grandfather made it with his own hands."
"The taste...I don't think you will be disappointed."
Peanut candy?
It's actually a name that doesn't sound very attractive to girls.
However, at this time, she naturally would not refuse her elder brother's kindness.
She pulled the drawstring.
The aroma of peanuts becomes more intense.
There is also a hint of sweetness.
It smells... delicious.
It seems so.
The girl took out a piece of peanut candy.
She stared at the peanut candy for a while, and then took a cautious bite.
Next second-
"Hmm~"
The girl narrowed her eyes and said in a vague voice, "It's delicious."
It didn't taste like the peanut candy she imagined.
She thought peanut brittle would taste like the same old stuff.
She didn't really like the sweetness of the past.
……
The girl ate three pieces of peanut candy before she stopped with some unsatisfied feelings.
The crunchy peanuts in the peanut candy balance out the sweetness.
It doesn’t taste greasy at all.
She felt like she could eat all the peanut brittle in the bag in one sitting.
But does this make it appear that she is too good at eating?
The girl was a little embarrassed.
Besides, it's not good to make people wait for her to eat.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go to the exhibition."
……
After watching the exhibition, the girl's eyes sparkled.
The haze between his eyebrows and eyes when he first saw the girl has disappeared.
Xinyue's expression made everyone who saw it couldn't help but laugh.
……
Xiao Xiao stopped and turned to look at the girl.
"Can you tell me what happened now?"
Avoiding is not the way to solve problems.
Now that the girl decided to call him.
At least
Regardless of whether he can help or not, he can be a good listener.
It would be better if he could do something for the girl's troubles.
ps: Thank you Qianqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
