Chapter 170 Recognition
The sun gradually moved westward, but Xiao Xiao still hadn't waited for the person he wanted to see.

Except for lunch, Xiao Xiao left for a while, but he also specially chose a restaurant that could see this place.

So, it can be said that he is basically keeping an eye on this intersection all the time.

But found nothing.

It has now passed the time when Xiao Xiao saw the figure that looked like his cousin yesterday.

The sunset in the sky is beautiful and gorgeous, and large patches of fiery clouds spread to the distant horizon.

People walked past Xiao Xiao in a hurry without looking at him. All kinds of noisy sounds entered his cochlea and then gradually faded away.

"Have a drink~"

"?"

Xiao Xiao turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh, "Pipa Ghost."

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost's mouth opened into a wide arc, extending all the way to its ears, and its eyes narrowed into almost a slit.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"We are very compatible."

There was even a faint smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes because of this unexpected fate.

It seemed that every time he encountered the Pipa Ghost, it was under circumstances he had not expected.

Even though his expression was exaggerated, there was some obvious shyness and joy in the look of the Pipa Ghost.

……

Pipa Gui stood beside Xiao Xiao, wearing the most ordinary white shirt and jeans. Even though he was barefoot, he still looked like a handsome boy on his way home, waiting for the green light.

If it weren't for the obvious demonic aura, even Xiao Xiao would be a little confused by this Pipa Ghost.

"Zheng~"

The Pipa ghost plucked the strings with his fingers, and a beautiful and quiet Pipa tune emerged.

For a moment, Xiao Xiao felt that all the noise around him was muted, and even the color outlines of the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred.

The slightly downward umbrella blocked Xiao Xiao's slightly closed eyes and the intoxication between his brows.

Everything is quiet, only the sound of the pipa moves the heart.

May those who are lucky enough to hear it be drunk forever and never wake up.

……

After the song ended, Xiao Xiao just felt that the years were peaceful and everything in front of him was so pleasing to the eye. The depression he had felt before because he didn't see the person he wanted to see also disappeared.

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth, which had been raised since he saw the Pipa Ghost, raised a little more.

Although he didn't see the person he wanted to see, he was able to unexpectedly run into the Pipa Ghost and listen to it play a song. Xiao Xiao felt that this ending... was not bad?!
Xiao Xiao suddenly raised his umbrella. Wasn’t the person walking towards him the one he had been waiting for all day?

"Heh." Xiao Xiao laughed for no apparent reason. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the Pipa Ghost who was a little confused by his sudden laughter. His eyes curved downwards and the corners of his mouth raised. "Pipa Ghost, thank you. This may be the good luck you brought me."

"Drink?"

The Pipa Ghost didn't understand what Xiao Xiao said, but after feeling Xiao Xiao's obvious joy, it couldn't help but feel happy.

"Have a drink~"

"Well, Pipa Ghost, see you next time."

Xiao Xiao had no doubt about this.

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost also smiled and nodded.

……

Xiao Xiao took a few steps forward.

The girl was about to pass by him, but was stopped by the sudden voice.

"Yu Yanyan?"

When she heard her name, the girl turned around suddenly, her face full of confusion.

"Excuse me, are you Yu Yanyan?"

Just in case, Xiao Xiao asked one more question.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Looking at Xiao Xiao, Yu Yanyan's eyes were full of strangeness, as well as a slight sense of wariness and vigilance.

Xiao Xiao was not surprised by this.

For most people, childhood memories are not that deep.

To Yu Yanyan, he was just a cousin whom she had only met a few times in the past and whose relationship could not be said to be very close.

Now that ten years have passed, it is completely normal that she cannot recognize him.

Maybe she has almost forgotten that she has a cousin named Xiao Xiao.

"Maybe you don't remember me."

"I'm Xiao Xiao."

"Long time no see, cousin."

"how are you recently?"

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, his temperament clear and gentle, as he looked at the girl opposite him whose face changed from confusion to surprise.

My cousin is a girl with a very intellectual temperament.

She can't be said to be particularly beautiful, but her pair of thin silver-rimmed glasses, ear-length short hair, and pointed chin make her look elegant and graceful, with a refined scent of books.

She is about 1.7 meters tall, tall and slim.

Even in the hot summer, he wore quite neat clothes.

Gray plaid short-sleeved shirt, knee-length light blue pleated skirt, white socks, and black mid-heel shoes.

The clean and elegant outfit is very consistent with the impression she gives people.

……

Most of the doubts on Yu Yanyan's face faded away, and were replaced by great surprise, even a little bit of disbelief.

She had some impression of Xiao Xiao.

After all, when she left, she was already eleven years old, a grown-up girl.

Girls mature earlier than boys, and after experiencing the misfortunes of her father passing away in a car accident and her mother remarrying, Yu Yanyan grew up even faster.

Even though her mother's remarriage was consulted with her, her new father treated her very well.

However, the only reason she initially agreed to her mother's remarriage was that she did not want to become an obstacle to her mother's happiness.

No matter how good her new father was to her, she still resisted him because she had just lost her biological father.

When she learned that she had to leave with her mother and live with her new father, she was confused and scared.

A lot of negative news about her stepfather was swirling in her mind. She even worried that her mother, who once loved her so much, would gradually ignore her after having a new family and would no longer love her as much as before.

So, at that time, she was actually very reluctant to leave her grandma and aunt. Especially when her grandma hugged her and cried, the reluctance was so strong that she wanted to ask to stay.

But, she eventually left.

She couldn't leave her mother alone.

……

Yu Yanyan looked at Xiao Xiao's facial features carefully. The memories that she thought had been forgotten gradually came alive again, and there seemed to be some familiarity.

But it was too long after all.

Yu Yanyan wasn't sure.

Xiao Xiao opened the photo album on his phone and handed it to Yu Yanyan.

This is the photo he took yesterday in anticipation of the current situation.

He specially dug out a few photos from old photo albums. Each photo was a family portrait of the Xiao family in the past, a family portrait before his uncle passed away.

Yu Yanyan gently stroked the person in the photo whom she hadn't seen for a long time, "Dad."

The person she once thought she had forgotten suddenly made her want to cry.

Dad, it turns out that I miss you very much.

How about you? I'm so sorry I haven't been able to visit you, Dad.

"Xiaoxiao, long time no see."

Yu Yanyan raised her head and found that the little boy in her memory had grown taller than her.
