Chapter 3383 Stay here
"Of course."
"Everything should be based on Xiao Yan's wishes first."
"A melon that is too strong is not sweet."
“It’s also unfair to the person you’re dating.”
The old lady is very transparent.
"I probably still have some sense of bystander."
"But Xiao Yan's parents were obsessed with the authorities."
"They were very angry that Xiao Yan repeatedly refused the blind dates arranged by them."
"They often had conflicts over this."
"Even..."
The wrinkles on the old man's face were a little deeper. "Xiao Yan's parents said that if Xiao Yan doesn't get a new girlfriend, he won't be allowed to go home."
"They don't want to see Xiao Yan..."
Having said this, the old lady sighed deeply.
"Xiao Yan is also stubborn."
"He really won't go home if he says he won't be allowed to go home."
The old lady shook her head.
"I said, those words are just the angry words of parents."
"Which parent really hopes that their children will not come home to visit them?"
"He took it seriously."
……
"...Xiao Yan just smiled."
The look in the old lady's eyes was a little complicated.
"I know, he has his own ideas."
"Although I treat Xiao Yan as my own child."
"But I can't get too involved in the problems between Xiao Yan and his parents."
"He doesn't want to say it, so I won't ask."
……
The old lady took a sip of tea.
It felt like...she hadn't said so many words at once for a long time.
"Sorry."
She smiled apologetically at Xiao Xiao.
"I pulled you to talk about so many things that have nothing to do with you..."
"Are you tired of hearing this?"
……
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
His face was calm.
"Uncle Yan is very lucky to have you as his neighbor."
It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
But now there are not many people who can really realize this sentence.
Men are lucky.
There was a neighbor who cared about him so much.
certainly.
This is also a blessing gained from the man's past care for the elderly.
……
The old lady grinned.
"Where..."
"That child has always taken good care of me."
"I should treat him a little bit."
……
"Uncle Yan is really lucky."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
His eyes moved slightly.
Pipa Ghost, who had always been standing quietly on the side, entered his field of vision.
……
Noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, Pipa Ghost looked away from the old lady.
It also knows this old lady.
Many times, when a man comes home, the door opposite will open.
The old lady will not disturb the man too much.
Just ask the man if he has eaten yet.
Sometimes the old lady will give the man snacks made by herself.
When the man comes home late, the old lady will nag a little bit, asking him to take good care of his body, not to work too hard, to balance work and rest, and not to be too tired...
……
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly again.
He looked at the old lady.
"He will understand your intentions."
He also hopes that Pipa Ghost can see the child in its memory again.
The child with bright eyes who shared candy with the Pipa Ghost.
……
Sometimes, Xiao Xiao thought that he understood the reason why monsters did not want to have close friendship with humans.
Years later, the monster is still the same monster as before.
Humanity has undergone earth-shaking changes.
From a child to an uncle.
If it weren't for luck, how could the monster recognize the child from back then?
Even if you recognize the child from back then, the monster will still feel strange looking at the grown-up child.
Because the person in front of it is no longer what it remembers.
More than just looks...
Temperament, feeling...
Everything has changed.
Facing such a human being who is so different from what he remembers, a monster would also feel a little confused, right?
Especially, in the eyes of monsters, time is not as long as it has passed...
……
"It would be nice if you could understand."
Xiao Xiao's words made the old lady feel very happy.
She has been waiting for this day.
Waiting for Xiao Yan to understand the painstaking efforts of those who care about him, waiting for Xiao Yan to step out of the "cage" he drew...
He will discover...
Life can still be beautiful.
……
Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the old man.
The man is still sleeping.
It seems that... the man will not wake up until night.
……
"Goodbye, Xiao Xiao." The old lady stood in front of the open door.
"Thank you for sending Xiao Yan back."
"Thank you for being willing to drink tea with me, an old man."
"Thank you."
The old lady's eyebrows relaxed.
The corners of his mouth turned up.
I told this young man some things about Xiao Yan and my own worries and thoughts...
The old lady felt a little more relaxed.
really.
Don't keep many things in your heart.
Talk to someone.
Even if the problem still exists.
You will also feel more comfortable in your heart.
……
Many times, talking is not about solving problems.
Just talk because you want to talk.
It's that simple.
……
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"You're welcome."
“Your tea and snacks are delicious.”
……
"Really?"
A happy smile suddenly appeared on the old lady's face.
“I like it and will come back next time.”
“There’s enough tea and snacks.”
The old lady said quite proudly.
"Don't be polite to me."
"You also know that when people get older, they just like to be lively."
"You can come whenever you want."
"I welcome them all."
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Okay."
"Then I'm leaving."
"You go in."
Xiao Xiao waved his hand to the old lady.
……
The old lady didn't listen to Xiao Xiao's words and entered the house.
She stood at the door and kept looking at Xiao Xiao's back as he came downstairs.
It wasn't until she couldn't see anymore that the old lady turned around and entered the house.
……
There was a faint sound of closing the door in his ears, and Xiao Xiao stopped.
He turned around.
……
Pipa Ghost, who was silently following Mr. Xiao Xiao, also stopped.
It looked at Master Xiao Xiao somewhat blankly.
What's wrong?
Why did you stop?
We haven’t reached the first floor yet.
……
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are slightly curved.
"I thought you were going to stay here."
……
Pipa Ghost was slightly startled.
Stay here?
Um.
It nodded.
It's here to stay.
It hasn't seen what it wants to see yet...
……
But...
Master Xiao Xiao is leaving.
It is to be sent to Mr. Xiao Xiao.
……
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.
That's right.
……
After walking down the last step, Xiao Xiao opened his umbrella.
He took a few steps outside.
Then turn around.
"Pipa Ghost, just send it here."
"I'm leaving."
……
The Pipa Ghost stood on the stairs.
In the slightly dark corridor, the strings on the pipa flashed a cold light.
……
"goodbye.
Xiao Xiao swallowed the last word.
He stepped aside.
Let the hurried man walk into the building.
……
The man closed his umbrella.
He casually glanced at the young man next to him and strode upstairs.
……
Pipa Ghost followed Xiao Xiao's example and turned sideways.
……
The thumping footsteps of the man quickly faded away.
……
"Goodbye."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the boy-looking monster in a white shirt.
"Pipa ghost."
