Chapter 1229 Plum Blossom Crisp

"My eyes are about to close, but I still refuse to go to sleep."

Father Xiao couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of the scene at that time, "The old man is old and can't stay up late."

"This is the latest day they have slept in recent years."

"I didn't get back to the house until almost twelve o'clock."

"We finally managed to coax them back after much persuasion."

"Your grandparents can be really stubborn when they get stubborn."

Father Xiao smiled helplessly.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's apologetic expression, Father Xiao said, "Just say more nice things to grandpa and grandma tomorrow."

"Grandpa and grandma will be very happy."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

……

"Uncle, I'm sorry, it's all because of me who troubled Master Xiao."

"It caused Master Xiao to not have time to come back and celebrate the New Year with you."

Su Xun's face was full of apology.

He felt even more guilty when he heard that the elderly people in Master Xiao's family had been waiting for Master Xiao to come home.

……

Master Xiao?
Father Xiao was stunned for a moment.

But then he thought of the ever-blooming white plum blossoms in the yard and the invisible fish in the pond, and he began to understand a little more.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Su Xun, right?"

"Well, uncle, just call me Xun."

Even though he was exhausted, Su Xun's good demeanor was undoubtedly revealed.

There was some appreciation in Father Xiao's eyes.

Such young people are always more liked by their elders.

"Ah Xun, you're welcome."

"We can spend the year together again next year."

"But you probably need Xiaoxiao's help with something urgent, right?"

"Ah."

Thinking of the child Dangdang, Su Xun's eyes and brows couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

He was one step late after all.

What a disobedient child! I've already told you... revenge is not seeking death...

However, if he had known that the monster had killed his mother and that his mother's soul was not trapped on the monster's back, he would probably have fought the monster to the death immediately.

What forced him to endure for two years, even though he was in so much pain that he wanted to die, was his obsession with saving his mother's soul.

He couldn't save his mother's life.

But he would never give up on his mother's soul.

No matter how painful it is.

……

Having had similar experiences before, he didn't even have the confidence to blame the child.

He didn't give the kid enough confidence.

He also underestimated the anxiety and hatred in the child's heart.

……

If it were him, when he saw his enemy again, instead of expecting someone he had been with for a few days to keep his promise and come back to help him get revenge, he would rather do it himself.

Moreover, if we miss this opportunity, we won’t know when we will find our enemy again.

time does not wait.

People who are eager for revenge do not have such good patience.

……

Seeing the young man's sudden low mood, Father Xiao did not ask any further questions.

People will speak if they want to.

If he is unwilling to talk about it, wouldn't his problem just be exposing other people's wounds and making the situation worse?
Father Xiao pushed the snack plate on the table towards Su Xun, his eyes gentle, "Xun, eat some snacks to fill your stomach first."

"After all, our family runs a teahouse and has been in business for generations, so the taste of these dim sum is guaranteed."

"Taste it."

"Thank you uncle."

Perhaps his bad mood affected his appetite. Su Xun, who should have been starving, didn't feel hungry at all.

However, Su's mother's education since childhood made him not refuse the kindness of his elders.

He picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite.

The soft and sweet taste startled him.

"Is it delicious?"

Father Xiao narrowed his eyes in understanding.

"Ah."

Su Xun couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. Delicious food can probably really soothe your mood.

He now really felt like he was "healed" by the delicious snacks.

The aura around him became softer and brighter.

However, he looked at the table full of plates and couldn't help but wonder, isn't this too much?

……

"Ajiu, Abai."

Father Xiao looked at the two who had been "eager to eat" and couldn't help laughing, "You guys eat too."

“There are lots of snacks.”

……

Looking at the snacks disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Su Xun twitched his eyes.

He understood why there were so many snacks.

Turns out it was for these two... no, maybe more than two.

Su Xun looked intently at a plate.

He remembered it clearly.

A second ago, there were snacks on this plate.

But the next second, he didn't even think he had blinked, and the snacks on the plate disappeared.

He looked at the little white fox and white snake not far away, who were eating very quickly but inexplicably looked elegant, and he had some guesses in his mind.

A monster...?

He couldn't help but look at Master Xiao.

Xiao Xiao stretched out his fingers to pick up the Taotie and put it aside. He "rescued" the last piece of plum blossom cake from the mouth of a greedy monster, and then pushed the plate in front of Su Xun, "Try this, it's my signature snack."

Awakened by Master Xiao's voice, Su Xun finally came back to his senses from Master Xiao's actions, which he considered quite strange.

The dazed expression returned to normal.

In his heart, he became more certain of his previous guess.

He didn't say anything, picked up the snacks on the plate, and said, "Okay."

……

This is a...very beautiful dessert.

Both the appearance and the fragrance were exactly the same as the white plum blossoms he had just seen in the yard.

Thinking of the white plum tree, he couldn't help but feel dazed.

It is really a beautiful white plum tree.

In the deep night, the white plum blossoms emitting a faint white light seemed unreal.

It is so beautiful that one can’t help but doubt: Is what I see real?

……

Smelling the rich plum aroma coming from the dessert, he was reluctant to eat it.

After looking at it for a while, he took a bite.

The taste is as good as its appearance.

Su Xun's eyes lit up.

He ate the remaining plum blossom crisps in one bite.

"Master Xiao, this plum blossom pastry is delicious."

He felt a little unsatisfied.

"Haha, if Xun likes it, uncle will make it for you tomorrow."

Father Xiao was also very happy to see Su Xun's reaction.

This expression is the best affirmation of his craftsmanship.

"Thank you uncle."

Although he felt embarrassed, the lingering plum fragrance in his mouth made him unable to say no.

"Haha, no trouble, no trouble."

"It has to be done anyway."

Father Xiao looked at the little white fox and white snake who had finished a table of snacks and returned to his son, "If one more person likes to eat, just make more."

……

“The dumplings are here.”

Xiao's mother came over with two bowls of dumplings, smiling.

"Auntie, I'm coming."

Su Xun immediately stepped forward and took the bowl from Xiao's mother.

Xiao Xiao took the other bowl.

"You guys eat first, I'll fry you some spring rolls."

Without waiting for the two to react, Xiao's mother turned around and left in a hurry.

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the yard.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao have already returned to their rooms to rest.
