Chapter 2490 Special Breath
Lunch didn't last long.
The two old men yawned one after another, indicating that they were sleepy.
Naturally, Xiao Xiao would not be invisible.
……
"Thank you for the invitation."
“The lunch was delicious.”
Xiao Xiao stopped and turned around to say goodbye to the two old men who escorted him to the door.
"I'm leaving."
"I'm disturbing you today."
……
The two old men didn't look very good.
“Duh~duh~”
The old man's crutch hit the ground again and again.
"...It's hard for you to have dinner with us."
Their original intention was that the young man listened to them patiently and it happened to be lunch time, so they took the opportunity to invite him to stay for lunch.
Didn't expect...
The atmosphere at the dinner table was so bad.
It's all their fault.
All said and done, there are some unpleasant contents.
Moreover, they didn't even eat much... He and the old woman started to yawn one after another.
In the eyes of ordinary people, doesn't this mean chasing away guests?
But they really didn't mean it.
They couldn't control their mental exhaustion.
Fortunately, classmate Xiao didn't think too much.
Moreover, although the meal lasted only a short time, Xiao Xiao really did what they said at the beginning and almost wiped out all the dishes.
They were happy but also a little surprised.
Classmate Xiao looked not strong, but tall and thin, but he didn't expect to have such a good appetite.
He is indeed a young man.
While sighing, the old man was inevitably a little envious.
He used to love eating.
But recently, his appetite has become smaller and smaller.
He is psychologically dissatisfied.
His stomach protested.
There was nothing he could do.
……
Classmate Xiao's performance also made them truly believe that he was not dissatisfied with them.
This gave them some comfort.
Otherwise, wouldn't their efforts be in vain if they originally did something with the idea of gratitude but received the opposite feedback?
……
The old lady pursed her lips.
"Classmate Xiao, you have heard about us."
"Don't take it too seriously."
"We are chatting with two old people who want to thank you for accompanying us."
They haven't chatted like this with young people for a long time.
My son... comes less frequently because of his wife.
Even if I come every time, I don't stay long.
Besides, they wouldn't tell their sons these things.
Wouldn't that cause trouble for my son?
"I'm glad you like my cooking too."
Classmate Xiao almost ate all the food she cooked, which really gave her a sense of accomplishment.
Lele's accident made her doubt herself.
She knew she was overthinking...but she couldn't help herself from thinking so...
She felt...everyone was blaming her...blaming her for her dereliction of duty...it was useless...
……
Who says it's not?
Anyone who hears the ins and outs of Lele's accident will think that it is their fault.
They themselves think so too.
This is irrefutable.
However, in other aspects...she can get some positive feedback...
She... felt very happy.
It seems that even the heavy heart has become a little lighter.
……
Xiao Xiao could feel the eyes of the two old men falling on his back.
It wasn't until he turned the corner that the "scorching heat" behind him dissipated.
……
The bluestone road gave off a faint chill.
The already quiet alley became even quieter due to the cold temperature.
It seems like they are two different worlds from the busy street outside.
Xiao Xiao stopped and pushed open the courtyard door.
……
“Tweet~”
Xiao Xiao's warm welcome made Xiao Xiao curl his lips.
……
The yard was no warmer than the alley.
On the contrary, it makes it even more chilly.
However, people who are fragrant with the fragrance of flowers forget this coldness, and the plum blossoms in front of them make people feel ecstatic. "Master Xiao Xiao."
The ethereal voice, unstained by any smoke or dust, reached Xiao Xiao's ears.
The elegant Mei Nu slowly walked towards him.
After a simple greeting, Plum Girl will return to the plum tree-
"Plum Girl."
Xiao Xiao opened his mouth to stop the monster that was about to disappear.
Plum Girl turned around.
"Master Xiao Xiao, is there something wrong?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao took out the jewelry from his pocket.
Silver-blue diamonds flashed through thin streams of light.
Mei Nu opened her eyes slightly.
Strange shape.
It has not seen the shape of gears before.
So I am very unfamiliar with this look.
His eyes were dizzy with curiosity.
Xiao Xiao handed the jewelry to Mei Nu.
Mei Nu was slightly startled.
She looked at Xiao Xiao.
"Master Xiao Xiao.?"
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.
"Look."
"Can you find anything?"
Hearing this, although she still felt confused, Mei Nu reached out and took the jewelry from Xiao Xiao's hand.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary human accessory.
But since Mr. Xiao Xiao specially showed it.
There must be something special about this piece of jewelry.
Mei Nu frowned.
He looked at this piece of jewelry more carefully.
Xiao Xiao did not disturb Mei Nu.
He looked up at the plum tree in front of him.
The trunk is tall.
The branches are lush and slender.
It is dotted with plum blossoms that look like they were carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade.
A cold wind blew.
The blossoming plum blossoms are like wind chimes, swaying gently.
In a daze, people almost thought they heard the crisp sound of wind chimes.
Mei Nu was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
She thought seriously to herself.
A special place.
What to find.
Plum Girl stared at the ornaments.
His unblinking gaze seemed to burn a hole in the jewelry.
"Do you feel any special aura?"
Xiao Xiao reminded.
Special smell.?
Be more specific.
Mei Nu cheered herself up in her heart.
The jewelry that seemed pretty beautiful a second ago could no longer attract its attention.
Plum Goddess' expression slightly condensed.
The cold breath mixed with the fragrant plum fragrance spreads out.
The plum fragrance in the yard became a little stronger.
Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky behind the plum tree.
The previous sun hid behind the clouds.
The whole sky looked a little gray.
It fits the cold temperament of the sky in winter.
Xiao Xiao curled his mouth.
Mei Nu's brows quirked up slightly.
What?
What exactly.
"Huh?"
Mei Nu unconsciously made a confused sound.
Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on Mei Nu.
Plum Girl put the ornament on its forehead.
Eyes slightly closed.
The hair on the cheeks seemed to be blown by the wind, fluttering in the air.
"Ah!"
Mei Nu exclaimed.
Her eyes widened.
He showed an extremely rare and somewhat exaggerated expression.
"This is"
A very light voice drifted in the cold wind.
".Lord Xiao Xiao."
Mei Nu suppressed the somewhat complicated look on her face.
"It has my breath on it."
Plum girl's scent?
Xiao Xiao was surprised for a moment.
Then he didn't seem that surprised.
Because they were all plum trees, Xiao Xiao felt that Plum Girl might be able to discover something from the ornaments.
