Chapter 4050 Grapes and Apples
If so...
The old lady's whole body was tense.
She even vaguely felt the low moan coming from her bones.
……
Fei?
Zhu Jian's eyes drifted to the side casually.
It didn't look at the old lady.
If Lord Xiao Xiao hadn't been here, it would have turned around and left after this human asked the first question that he didn't know what to say.
However, this human being is with Master Xiao Xiao.
Master Xiao Xiao also stopped it for her sake.
So...
Master Xiao Xiao's meaning is very clear.
Just hope it can answer this human question.
Just...
It really doesn’t know this human problem.
It doesn't remember this human being.
I have no recollection of this human's name.
But...
Zhu Jian's eyes passed over the old lady's face.
Fei……
This name actually feels a bit familiar...
……
certainly.
This doesn't actually explain anything.
Its familiarity is not necessarily the familiarity this human being wants.
……
"Do you remember?"
The old lady asked again with some caution.
……
Zhu Jian looked at Master Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Just tell the truth."
……
Zhu Jian shook his head.
It feels somewhat familiar.
But only a few.
……
The light in the old lady's eyes dimmed.
But not completely extinguished.
Rather, it is like a candle in the wind, shining faintly.
"I don't remember..."
Sure enough...
Its name is Fei or something...
It’s just a delusion...
……
"Can't you remember at all?"
The old lady murmured.
"Look at me-"
The old lady paused.
She realized later, "...oh..."
"I'm getting older."
The old lady touched her face gently.
No longer as smooth as when I was young.
Instead, it has a rough, frosted feel.
To put it harshly, it sounds like old tree bark.
……
The old lady smiled bitterly.
"...Don't you recognize my appearance?"
She was referring to the fact that Fei only remembered what she looked like back then.
And can't recognize what she looks like when she gets older.
If this is the case...
The old lady felt that she would feel better.
She can deceive herself-
It’s not necessarily self-deception...
Fei has not forgotten her.
But in Fei's memory, she has always been the same as she was back then.
Instead of the gray hair now.
……
The old lady touched her head.
He looked disappointed.
She is also helpless about getting older...
She couldn't help but look at the young man.
"Is my hair all white?"
……
Looking at the old lady's black hair, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"Your hair is black."
……
"Huh?"
The old lady was surprised and confused.
"Not turning white?"
……
"You must have dyed your hair."
Xiao Xiao quickly guessed the reason.
This is consistent with the exquisite dress the old lady always wears.
The old lady’s body is full of details.
How come you missed your hair?
……
Oh~
The old lady suddenly realized.
She dyed her hair.
That….
The look of surprise on her face faltered.
So what if I dye my hair...
Her hands touched her face again.
Her appearance finally changed.
……
etc!
The old lady covered her face.
Only one pair of eyes was exposed.
She looked at Fei.
There was some cautious hope in his eyes.
"What about this?"
"Does it feel familiar?"
……
Zhu Jian:......
Is this person a fool?
Zhu Jian shook his head slightly. Humans will always do things that are confusing to them.
For example, this human being in front of me.
Does this behavior make sense?
It doesn't pay enough attention to any human... that it can recognize the other just by their eyes.
Oh, except Master Xiao Xiao.
It thought that it might recognize Master Xiao Xiao's eyes.
But others...
Zhu Jian snorted from his nose.
……
Faintly sensing Fei's disdain, the old lady lowered her eyes with a wry smile.
She also had a sudden thought...
……
Too.
No matter how hard she works...
There is no way to turn yourself into the person you once were...
……
The old lady did not lower her hands covering her face.
She was worried that she looked too embarrassed at this time.
She covered her face more tightly.
There was a burning sensation on my fingers.
Um?
The old lady was startled.
This is...
……
"Grandma Thistle."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand.
On the palms of her hands lay two candies wrapped in shiny wrappers that the old lady was particularly familiar with.
Different from the orange and pink candies I gave her before.
This time the two candies are purple and cyan.
……
"No more orange and strawberry candies."
Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It's grape and apple."
"Which one do you like?"
……
The old lady came to her senses.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This young man... treated her like a child.
Although I feel embarrassed...
But...
The old lady took a deep breath.
She did feel a little better...
……
"Thank you, thank you."
The old lady's voice was muffled because she was still covering her face.
……
The old lady lowered her head even more.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and face as discreetly as possible.
She closed her eyes.
After some efforts to "make things right", the old lady put down one hand.
The other hand was still trying to cover his entire face.
……
The old lady didn't hesitate.
She chose apple-flavored candy.
……
After the candy was in her mouth and she covered her face with both hands, the old lady felt relaxed by the fragrance of apples in her mouth and the dim light in front of her eyes.
This candy is so delicious.
Every flavor is delicious.
The old lady was hesitating whether to ask the young man...
What brand is this candy?
Where did you buy it?
……
Xiao Xiao extended his hand to Zhu Qian again.
"Grape flavored candy."
"Taste it?"
“Very delicious.”
……
Zhu Jian curled his lips.
Even so, it took a few steps forward.
It bows its head.
The next second, it took a step back.
But Xiao Xiao's palms were already empty.
……
Xiao Xiao took back his hand.
……
The aroma of grapes filled the mouths of the beasts.
Some long-lost taste of grape-flavored candy.
Traveling through time and space...
The same old and yellowed pictures seemed to be suddenly recolored and became vivid...
……
Zhu Jian's eyes became a bit strange.
……
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao keenly noticed the changes in Zhu Jian.
"Did you remember anything?"
……
The old lady's ears suddenly stood up.
What?
She secretly looked at Fei through her fingers.
Fei……
Remember?
Remember her?
Soon, the old lady felt faintly discouraged again.
Don't hope.
You won't be disappointed.
Unexpectedly...
……
Zhu Jian nodded.
It will not lie to Lord Xiao Xiao.
no need.
……
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
It’s really...
"What is it?"
……
Zhu Jian glanced at the old lady.
It happened that the old lady was also looking at Zhu Jian.
