Chapter 1817 Peanut Candy

"Chirp~"

Holding the vibrating cell phone, he happily flew towards Xiao Xiao who was leaning on the recliner.

Xiao Xiao turned his head and a smile appeared on his face.

He spread his palms.

The phone fell steadily into his palm.

"Thank you, pigeon."

"Chirp~"

The pigeon tilted its head, flapped its wings, and called out in a clear and crisp voice.

"Hey~"

Baby Spoon rolled his eyes.

Looking silly.

……

It's an unknown number.

Xiao Xiaogang didn't want to pay any attention.

A guess suddenly flashed through my mind.

He stretched out his hand a little and then retracted it.

Will it be...

Xiao Xiao answered the phone.

"..."

There was no sound from the other end of the phone.

However, Xiao Xiao could clearly hear the other party's rapid breathing.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hello."

He spoke.

"..."

There was still no sound from the other end of the phone.

and-
There was no more breathing sound.

Looking at the hung up phone, Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.

"Buzz~"

Just a second later, the phone vibrated again.

Same number.

Xiao Xiao didn't answer the call immediately.

He waited for the phone to ring for a while before answering it.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I was careless just now..."

The girl's anxious apology and explanation came over the phone.

"Huanhuan."

Xiao Xiao called out the other person's name with certainty.

The phone fell silent again.

All I could hear was the other person's suppressed breathing.

……

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.

He didn't expect to receive a call from the girl so soon.

It had only been three days since they last met.

only……

There was something wrong with the emotion in the girl's voice on the phone.

"……Big brother……"

The girl finally spoke again.

As she slowed down her speaking speed, the hoarseness in the girl's voice became more obvious.

After just shouting once, she fell silent again.

"Huanhuan."

Xiao Xiao turned his gaze slightly and looked up at the blue sky above.

"The weather today is good."

However, there are not many days with bad weather in midsummer.

Even if there is a heavy rain, it will only last for a short time.

Soon the sunny weather returned.

"Want to go to the art gallery?"

"We just started the second half of the exhibition we visited last time today."

“There are new works on display.”

……

"……Um."

After a long while, the girl's soft reply came from the phone.

"Where are you?"

Xiao Xiao didn't hang up the phone, but continued to ask, "Are you at home?"

"Tell me the address."

"I'll pick you up."

Based on the girl's current mood, he was worried that something might happen if he let her go out alone.

“…I’m near the art museum.”

The girl's words startled Xiao Xiao.

Then I understood, so that's why I thought of calling him?

"I see."

"Just stay there and don't move."

"I'll be there soon."

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the living room and happened to see Grandma Xiao walking over with something in her hand.

"Xiaoxiao."

When she saw her grandson, the old lady smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Then he stretched out the large plate in his hand towards Xiao Xiao, "Try the peanut candy your grandfather just made."

Xiao Xiao picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

A mouthful of peanut flavor.

"delicious."

The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes relaxed, "Your grandfather's craftsmanship is still very good."

"Well, grandpa's cooking skills are very good."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Grandma, I need to go out for a while."

"Are you going out?" The old lady was startled, then nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"The sun is shining brightly outside."

"Be careful to walk under the shade of the trees."

"Such a strong sun can easily make people dizzy..."

The old lady rambled on for a few words.

Then he waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead."

He didn't ask his grandson what he was doing outside.

She's such an old girl, why is she still asking so many questions?
"correct."

The old man looked down at the plate full of peanut candy and asked, "Would you like to take a few pieces of peanut candy for the journey?"

Xiao Xiao was about to refuse.

But thinking of the girl, he nodded.

"Ok."

Delicious food always makes people happy.

……

When he arrived near the art gallery, Xiao Xiao looked around but didn't see the girl.

Xiao Xiao made the call directly.

The call was answered quickly.

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. As if puzzled by Xiao Xiao's silence, the girl finally spoke, "Big brother?"

"I'm here."

Xiao Xiao stood in front of the girl.

……

The girl raised her head as if from the front.

The next second, the girl opened her eyes wide, "Big brother?!"

Xiao Xiao hung up the phone.

He followed the sound of the vibrating phone and came over.

The girl seemed to like to keep her phone on silent just like him.

……

"good morning."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"this is for you."

He handed the small bag in his hand to the girl.

This is a drawstring bag with a green background and lotus pattern.

It looks quite exquisite.

The girl blinked.

He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao nodded with slightly curved eyebrows.

The girl reached out and took the small bag.

Ok?
The girl sniffed slightly.

It smells good.

It’s…the smell of peanuts.

“It’s peanut candy.”

Xiao Xiao's words confirmed the girl's guess.

"My grandfather made it himself."

“The taste…I think you won’t be disappointed.”

peanut candy?
Actually, it's a name that doesn't sound very attractive to girls.

However, at this moment, she naturally would not refuse her elder brother's kindness.

She pulled the drawstring.

The aroma of peanuts became stronger.

There is also a hint of sweetness.

It smells... delicious.

It looks like so.

The girl took out a piece of peanut candy.

She stared at the peanut candy for a while, then she took a cautious bite.

The next second -
"Hmm~"

The girl narrowed her eyes and said vaguely, "It's delicious."

It didn't taste like the peanut candy she imagined.

She thought peanut candy would taste like the same old flavor.

She didn't really like the sweet taste of the past.

……

The girl ate three pieces of peanut candy before she stopped, feeling a little unsatisfied.

The crunchy peanuts in the peanut candy neutralize the sweetness.

It doesn't taste greasy at all.

She felt like she could finish all the peanut candies in the bag in one sitting.

But doesn't this make her seem like she's too good at eating?

The girl was a little embarrassed.

Besides, it’s not nice to make people wait for her to eat.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go."

"Let's go to the exhibition."

……

After seeing the exhibition, the girl's eyes sparkled.

The gloom between his brows and eyes when he first saw the girl had disappeared.

The happy expression made everyone who saw it laugh.

……

Xiao Xiao stopped and turned to look at the girl.

"Now can you tell me what happened?"

Running away is not the way to solve the problem.

Since the girl decided to call him.

at least
Regardless of whether he can help or not, he can be a good listener.

It would be even better if he could do something about the girl's troubles.
