Chapter 2040 Choice
"...Xiaoyi was awake for only a moment, then fell asleep again."

The boy pursed his lips nervously.

Would waking up early be bad for Xiaoyi’s recovery from his injury?
He didn't dare to ask this question out loud.

Because he actually already knew the answer.

……

"Maybe, maybe not."

Xiao Xiao's soothing voice calmed the boy's emotions.

"Don't dwell on what has already happened."

"Since you're worried about that..."

"Then what you can do now is to adjust your emotions."

"Don't worry too much."

"Isn't it?"

……

"Don't think too much."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Xiaoyi woke up."

"Give it a little more time and it will wake up again."

"Besides, the time you stay awake will be longer next time."

"Ah."

The boy nodded, "I understand."

He took a deep breath.

"I won't let Xiaoyi worry anymore."

Before Xiaoyi woke up, he had already said everything he wanted to say and apologized.

Xiaoyi's usual attitude made him feel relieved.

What is past is past.

He can't keep feeling regretful, blaming himself, and feeling depressed.

He also has to look forward.

He won't make the same mistake again.

……

"Thank you, Master Xiao."

The boy was really glad that he met Master Xiao.

I helped him so much and always listened to him.

If it weren’t for Master Xiao, his situation would be very different now, right?
The boy clutched his phone tightly.

Every time he thought of that possibility, he felt scared.

……

"You're welcome."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "It can be regarded as an apology for my last time being good at private residences."

The young man was slightly startled.

Then he started laughing too.

No.

To this day, he only feels grateful to Master Xiao for "trespassing" and has no complaints at all.

Although Xiaoyi was also injured last time.

But compared to this time, it is nothing.

If it weren’t for Master Xiao, Xiaoyi would have been in more than just an injury this time.

He...will completely lose Xiaoyi.

……

Compared to death, any injury is nothing.

Living is the most important thing.

……

Xiao Xiao put away his cell phone.

"Nonsense."

The little white fox yawned and lazily said something that was a bit confusing.

Xiao Xiao didn't feel confused.

He rubbed the little white fox's head.

"This is Xiaoyi's choice."

In its view, it is more important to reassure young people.

Even if it costs more to do so.

"Wouldn't it be more reassuring for that human to recover sooner?"

The little white fox couldn't understand.

In its opinion, Xiaoyi's behavior was completely putting the cart before the horse.

"hiss~"

The white snake rolled its eyes.

"A fool is a fool."

The little white fox swung its tail over.

Then, as expected, he was caught by Lord Xiao Xiao.

The little white fox hummed twice.

Even if it knows its attack will not work, it will still attack.

This is a matter of attitude.

cannot be omitted.

……

The white snake flicked its tail.

A proud look on his face.

"I told you that you're stupid and you don't admit it?"

“I don’t understand this.”

The little white fox rolled his eyes.

Decided to listen to what this stupid snake had to say.

……

"Until the monster wakes up, the human will always worry."

The white snake spit out its bright red tongue.

"It costs a little now, but it can give that human some peace of mind."

"It can also cultivate itself more peacefully."

"For that monster, this is better."...

The little white fox tilted its head to one side and looked upwards.

"Master Xiao Xiao, didn't that human know that the monster was fine and just needed time to recuperate?"

Didn’t Lord Xiao Xiao tell that human this at the very beginning?
"Ah."

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled.

"It's just that knowing rationally is one thing."

“Emotionally it’s another thing.”

"Besides, Xiaoyi suddenly fell into a coma without saying a word. Even if someone told Zhao Yihuan that Xiaoyi was fine, it would be difficult for Zhao Yihuan to be completely relieved."

"He needs Xiaoyi to tell him personally that it's okay."

“It’s just healing.”

"Chi~"

The little white fox curled his lips, "Is it troublesome?"

"Doesn't he know everything?"

"I need to say it again..."

……

"no way."

“It’s just that troublesome.”

"and……"

Xiao Xiao paused, "Zhao Yihuan also wants to confirm that Xiaoyi will really wake up..."

"Does it think that Master Xiao Xiao is lying to him?"

The little white fox raised his voice a bit.

"Do not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "He's just worried that he won't be able to wait until the day Xiaoyi wakes up."

"after all……"

"In human cognition, the concept of time held by monsters is very different from that held by humans."

Most monsters live much longer than humans.

There is also a saying that there is no time limit for practicing.

Zhao Yihuan's worries are not without reason.

……

The little white fox was silent.

It cannot deny this.

……

"Fool."

The white snake sneered.

“Humans are very emotional creatures.”

"Not as thick-skinned as you."

The little white fox swung its tail again.

Of course, it was unsuccessful again.

"You say that as if you are so sentimental."

"You are a monster too."

Monsters understand humans...

In the past it seemed like a joke.

Now, it's still a joke.

But it’s not a complete joke anymore.

There are always exceptions in the world.

But the so-called exception also means rarity.

……

"At least I'm more emotional than a stinky fox like you."

The white snake was very proud.

"No way, who told me I'm smart?"

The little white fox wanted to slap the shameless and stinky snake to death.

"All right."

Xiao Xiao sent a message to "stop the war".

He curved his eyebrows slightly, "Ajiu and Bai are both very smart. As long as they want to understand, they will definitely be able to understand."

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand some things for the time being.”

“It’s okay not to understand some things.”

“The choice is always individual.”

"I guess you guys aren't really interested in the choices of other people or monsters."

The little white fox turned his head lazily.

This is true.

What does human affairs have to do with it?

As for the monster's affairs...what does it have to do with it as long as it hasn't been offended?

It just became interested and asked a few more questions.

Know what they are thinking, even if you can't understand it.

Just satisfy its curiosity.

……

The white snake blinked and said, "I am very interested in Master Xiao's choice."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Aren't you right next to me?"

White Snake saw clearly what choice he made.

"Hee hee~"

The white snake twisted its body.

The thin tip of the tail wagged.

……

Xiao Xiao brought snacks and tea from his own teahouse to the hospital.

Mr. Zhao is not in the ward.

He changed the water in Mr. Zhao's vase.

Inside was the gladiolus that Xiao's mother asked him to bring last time.

The light color and fragrance of the flowers make people feel relaxed and happy.
