Chapter 1001 An unexpected discovery

"Tsk, tsk."

Zhao Luzheng couldn't help smacking his lips, "So they say wealth should not be shown off."

"Now, even the smallest good thing has to be hidden."

"Otherwise, you don't know when someone will target you."

……

"Third brother, it's getting late. I'm going back to school."

Zhao Luzheng looked at the darkening sky outside and was about to get up.

"Hey, classmate, are you going back?"

Xiao's mother came over and was a little surprised. "Aren't you staying here for one night?"

Seeing Zhao Luzheng shaking his head, she didn't force him, but said, "At least have dinner before leaving."

"Dinner is ready."

Mother Xiao ordered Xiao Xiao very straightforwardly, "Xiao Xiao, take your classmates to the restaurant in the back."

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao agreed, then stood up and glanced at Zhao Luzheng, "Let's go."

Since Xiao's mother had said this, Zhao Luzheng no longer refused and stood up and followed Xiao Xiao.

After dinner, Zhao Lu, who was sitting in the living room, was about to get up and say goodbye when a breeze blew in from the yard.

A few strands of hair got into his eyes. He was about to reach out to brush them away, but he paused.

He sniffed.

Sure enough, I smelled a faint floral scent.

The scent of flowers is not surprising; after all, there is a yard outside the living room.

It's common to plant some flowers and plants in the yard.

But this scent is
"Plum blossom fragrance?!"

He murmured in surprise.

at this time?
It’s only October.

Is it too early?

Maybe he smelled it wrong?
While thinking this, Zhao Luzheng stood up and walked towards the door.

He put his hand on the door frame and looked up. It was already dark outside.

Spots of moonlight shine down.

A hazy glow enveloped the yard.

He glanced casually.

The next second, he was stunned.

Is that "White Plum?"

A tree that seems to be glowing.

The white flowers on the branches are filled with the bright moonlight, making them look even more crystal clear.

It's like there's light flowing through it.

He couldn't help but lift his feet.

Step by step, without even smelling it, your mouth is already filled with the cool fragrance.

He stopped moving forward.

Looking up, I was filled with amazement.

Seeing this, the Xiao family members who came out couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao who was already sitting on the stone bench.

Seeing his uncertain expression, they all smiled.

They did not disturb Zhao Luzheng who was staring at Baimei in a daze.

This is a normal reaction when seeing Bai Mei for the first time.

Even those who have admired white plum blossoms countless times would occasionally fall into a daze.

The cut fruits were placed on the stone table.

The Xiao family's movements finally woke up Zhao Luzheng.

He blinked and rubbed his eyes. After repeating this several times, he was finally convinced that everything he saw was real.

Even if it looks unreal.

"Third Brother!"

He turned his head suddenly and subconsciously called out the name of the person who he intuitively knew could answer his questions.

Then, he saw the Xiao family members who were enjoying the cool breeze and a table full of fruit platters.

Zhao Luzheng:
"Youngest, come and sit down."

Xiao Xiao extended his hand and greeted Zhao Luzheng.

Zhao Lu was sitting next to Xiao Xiao.

"Third brother, is this Baimei?"

he asked impatiently.

"It's obvious."

Xiao Xiao signaled to Zhao Luzheng to feel free to take whatever he liked.

"But-"

Zhao Luzheng held a piece of watermelon in his hand, but didn't eat it. He frowned and looked incredulous. "It's only October now."

“Do plum blossoms bloom so early?”

"Maybe our house has good feng shui."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"That's it."

Zhao Luzheng really believed it.

After all, even if it is rare, we have seen similar cases in the news. Maybe this white plum tree is more precious, or maybe the environment of this yard is particularly suitable for the survival of white plums.

If it is because of the latter, it is not wrong to say that it is good feng shui.

Besides, the main third brother is already amazing enough.

So, when something unusual happened in the third brother's family, he found himself accepting it very easily.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.

Do you believe this?
If Zhao Luzheng had continued asking, he would have told the other party the truth.

Anyway, this guy has already accepted the fact that monsters exist.

That's why he didn't let the plum girl pick up the white plum blossoms on the tree.

However, this is fine.

Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up, saving him from saying anything else.

After all, explanation is a troublesome thing.

The Xiao family was also somewhat surprised by this development.

"This kid is so easy to fool."

Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?"

Grandma Xiao glanced at her husband and said, "What a good child."

“I didn’t say it was bad.”

Grandpa Xiao felt a little aggrieved.

"what happened?"

Noticing the low conversation of the Xiao family opposite him, Zhao Luzheng felt somewhat puzzled.

He had the feeling that the other person was talking about him.

"fine."

Xiao Xiao shrugged, "My grandma praised you for being a good child."

Zhao Luzheng:?

He didn't care either.

Because he made a new discovery.

"Third brother, you dug a pond in your yard?!"

"When was it dug? It wasn't there when I was here last time."

"Yeah, I dug it during the summer vacation."

Xiao Xiao looked at the dark and deep water surface in the night.

The "clucking" sound continued to be heard.

The laughter was as tender as that of a child, innocent yet revealing a bit of weirdness and strangeness.

It really has a spooky and terrifying sound.

The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes couldn't help but deepen.

Because he was attracted by the things in the yard, when Zhao Luzheng finally remembered to go back to school, it was already late.

So he stayed.

Although I am very embarrassed.

After all, he was the one who couldn't speak at the beginning.

He posted a message in their dormitory group saying that he was staying at Xiao Xiao's house today.

Then somehow it became the case that Zhang Bo and Zhuge Yun would also come over tomorrow.

We will go back to school together the day after tomorrow.

The Xiao family members went into the house to rest.

Only Xiao Xiao and Zhao Luzheng were left at the stone table.

"Third brother."

Zhao Luzheng retracted his gaze from the white plum blossom and looked at Xiao Xiao, "This white plum blossom is special, isn't it?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Then he laughed, "Yes."

"It's special."

Xiao Xiao fell behind Zhao Luzheng and entered the house.

When he was about to close the door of the living room, he looked in the direction of Bai Mei.

In front of the white plum tree, a graceful figure slowly emerged.

With a light wave of her white sleeves, Mei Nu bowed and bowed.

The green hair is like a waterfall.

"Good night, Master Xiao Xiao."

"Good night, Mei-nv."

"Ah, Third Brother, what did you say just now?"

Zhao Luzheng turned around and asked.

"I said it was already dark outside."

Xiao Xiao closed the door to the living room.

"Come on, I'll take you to the guest room."

"Ah."

Around noon the next day, Zhang Bo and Zhuge Yun arrived.

With Zhao Luzheng's special introduction, they saw white plum blossoms that bloomed out of season.

Not surprisingly, both of them had expressions of shock and amazement on their faces.
