Chapter 166 Ordinary Notes
Coffee and cake arrived quickly.

There was only one cup of coffee, but the table was full of cakes.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but recall the waiter's conflicted expression when he took the order earlier, especially when he knew he was the only one there, that expression was definitely filled with surprise and admiration.

Xiao Xiao felt that he could not get rid of the title of big eater.

And he’s a big eater who likes sweets?
Xiao Xiao felt that it really didn’t sound good.

"It's all your fault."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but knock on the two monsters whose eyes lit up when they saw the cake.

"Coffee~"

Feifei rubbed the back of Xiao Xiao's hand in a flattering manner, her silver-blue eyes shining like stars.

"Woo~"

For the sake of so many cakes, Mr. Taotie reluctantly comforted the human in front of him, but his eyes under his armpits never left the cakes for a second.

Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to raise his cup and drink coffee while looking around inconspicuously.

This is a single seat, and its concealment is quite good.

Moreover, this cafe is quite high-end and not very crowded.

……

"Okay, eat now."

When they heard the amnesty, the two monsters' eyes lit up instantly.

Taotie grabbed a plate with his claws and wanted to lift the plate to pour the cake directly into his mouth, but Xiao Xiao held the plate down and said, "Keep a low profile."

It's too scary to see a plate standing up out of thin air.

Taotie pouted in dissatisfaction, with an impatient expression as if he was causing trouble, but he still put down the plate and grabbed the cake with his claws. His already big mouth opened even wider, and he swallowed the whole cake in one gulp.

Soon, Taotie's claws grabbed another plate.

Xiao Xiao: ...

Feifei's eating style is obviously much more elegant compared to the unrestrained and uninhibited behavior of a certain glutton.

However, the speed did not slow down much.

So, all the cakes on the table were gone before Xiao Xiao could even take a few sips of his coffee.

Xiao Xiao: ...

Although he had long known about the fierce "fighting power" of these two beasts, he still couldn't help but twitching his lips every time he saw them.

They are really two foodies.

……

In the afternoon, Xiao Xiao returned home.

When I came out of the shower, I saw my phone vibrating on the table.

When I picked it up, it was Chi Xiu Ke.

"Hello."

"Master Xiao, you finally answered the phone!" Chi Xiu Ke's voice came with a hint of resentment, and obviously there was a hint of relief in it.

"Huh?" What do you mean?
"You called me before?"

"Yes, but I can't get through. I don't know what's going on?"

Speaking of this, Chi Xiu Ke couldn't help but puff up her cheeks. She almost thought that Master Xiao had blacklisted her!
"Sorry, we were in the mountains before, so the signal might not be good."

"Forget it, just get through now."

"Is there a problem?"

"Master Xiao, I am your junior schoolmate now."

"Hmm? You got into Yanda?"

"Yes!"

"congratulations."

"Thank you~"

……

Chi Xiu Ke called just to share with Xiao Xiao the good news that she had been admitted to her dream university, and did not mention the follow-up of the bar murder case.

However, even if she didn't say anything, Xiao Xiao knew that no matter how much others said, Captain Meng would still be skeptical. It was not so easy to make Captain Meng really believe what he said. After a period of time, if there were no new murders, then maybe the other party would slowly believe what he said.

……

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiao looked through the call records on his phone. There were no missed calls from Chi Xiu Ke, nor any text message reminders, as if Chi Xiu Ke had never called him before.

This may not only be due to the poor signal in the mountains, but it also seems to be affected by the monster's magnetic field.

Monsters are very different from humans, and they cannot even be detected by ordinary humans.

The strong evil spirit can even affect human communication equipment, rendering it ineffective.

It must have been the demonic aura of so many apes, plus the combined effect of the demonic aura of Feifei and Taotie, that affected the aura around him, causing his cell phone to temporarily lose signal.

Maybe the evil spirit also concealed his aura. I wonder if he exists in the "eyes" of space satellites?
……

"Puff~"

Xiao Xiao took a quick look and saw a bighead carp jumping out of the water and quickly falling back down.

It was summer vacation, so he naturally brought back the minnow, not to mention the black carp.

He didn't trust others to move the things, so he made two trips between school and home just to move the glass jar and the fish tank.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

Two bighead carps swam to the glass wall close to Xiao Xiao, and their two pairs of black eyes looked at him with a bit of hunger.

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that he had not expected that he would stay in the abamoeus' cave for another night, so he prepared less food for the silver carps.

Now, they were obviously too hungry to remind him to feed them.

Xiao Xiao picked up the water plants beside him and threw them in.

The bighead carps immediately gathered around and started eating, shaking their heads and tails.

Xiao Xiao poured more fish food into the fish tank and looked at the condition of the pearl beetle.

As lazy as ever.

Two pairs of eyes were drooping and six legs were swaying slightly with the water flow.

Xiao Xiao picked up another glass jar covered with a colorful woolen cover, opened the metal button, and looked inside. Three round pearls were emitting a warm and soft halo, echoing each other and rendering a hazy luster, which was really beautiful.

Xiao Xiao admired it for a long time, until his mother called him outside the house that it was time for dinner, then he closed the lid reluctantly.

"Click~"

……

In the next few days, Xiao Xiao helped out in his own teahouse.

Because summer is here, more and more people come to the teahouse to drink tea and cool off.

Many customers sit for hours, and some regular customers even stay in the teahouse all day long.

Order a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks with pleasing colors and refreshing taste, such as mint cake, green tea yam cake, etc., and sit around a table with three or five good friends, and the day will pass by.

Xiao Xiao also played a few games of chess with some elders whom he hadn't seen for some time, and listened to a few episodes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

……

"Xiaoxiao, is school on vacation?"

Xiao Xiao looked up and saw Grandpa Zhou whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Compared to the last time they met, he looked much more energetic this time.

His back was straight and his face was rosy.

It seems that Zhou's little grandson has recovered well.

That’s great! Xiao Xiao’s mouth corners curled up slightly.

"Grandpa Zhou, you haven't been here for a long time." Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes." Mr. Zhou also felt a little emotional.

"My grandson has encountered such a big problem, the old man has neither the time nor the energy to come here."

"But, I have always missed the tea and snacks from your teahouse."

"Now that my grandson has almost recovered, and is doing much better than expected, the old man has come back."

"That's great." Having confirmed his guess, Xiao Xiao's smile deepened a little.

"Yes, it's really God's blessing." Speaking of this, Mr. Zhou couldn't hide the joy on his face. Even the doctor said that their grandson recovered much better and faster than expected. Isn't this God's blessing?
"Yeah, it's really God's blessing." Xiao Xiao agreed with a smile.
