Chapter 2202 Sheep bleating?

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and put down the teacup in his hand.

It is worthy of being the teahouse chosen by the big boss.

The tea tastes good.

"Please say."

The good tea put Xiao Xiao in a good mood.

……

"This jade ball..."

Boss Bai put his hands on the table.

On the open palm lay a round, snow-white jade ball.

Under the sunlight coming in from the window, a hazy luster circulates around the jade ball.

"it……"

For the first time since they met, Mr. Bai looked less than confident.

He had trouble organizing his words.

……

"Master Xiao, this jade ball..."

Boss Bai paused, frowning, "It's a bit strange."

"It seems... to make strange noises?"

……

Strange sounds?

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

He thought of the sheep-like sound he heard last time.

……

"The first person who heard it was a child..."

Boss Bai fell into memories.

……

That was five years ago.

He went to the hospital for a follow-up visit.

He was discharged from the hospital after recovery...

Going back so soon.

Although it is a follow-up visit...

……

He didn't like hospitals very much.

He had been tired of smelling disinfectant in the past two months.

But if he delays any longer, his family will have to accompany him to the hospital.

He refused again and again.

How old are you? Do you still need your parents to accompany you to the hospital?
Isn't this just a joke?

……

He asked his bodyguard to stay away from him.

Although he didn't like having bodyguards following him everywhere, he didn't want to be stabbed again.

……

"what!"

A child's cry rang out beside him.

He couldn't help but look down.

A little child in hospital gown was looking at his...hand with surprise?

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Is it the jade ball in your hand?
……

Children seem to like round things?

Like a rubber ball, a yo-yo, a pinball, etc.

.......
When it comes to this jade ball, he feels helpless.

The old man insisted that he always carry the jade ball with him.

He argued several times, but finally had to agree.

……

Hesitantly, he slowed down his pace.

He is not good with children.

What should he do at this time?
……

"Sheep!"

The child's words made him stop.

Sheep...sheep?

What do you mean?
……

"Xiaobao!"

A young woman ran over with a look of surprise on her face.

"Why are you here, kid?"

The woman smiled at the strange man beside the child, then bent down, picked up the child and left.

"The nurse is looking for you everywhere."

"Also, how many times has mom told you?"

"Don't talk to strangers..."

"…What if he's a bad guy…"

……

He couldn't help but look down at himself.

Does he look like a bad guy?

However, bad guys don't write on their faces.

He thought of the man who had attacked him before.

In our previous encounters, he was clearly a mild-tempered person.

No one expected that such a person would do such a bold thing.

As the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover…

He shook his head.

"Mr. Bai."

It was the nurse working for the doctor he was going to see.

The older woman gave him a polite smile.

He stepped forward.

I also forgot about the strange words the child said before.

……

This is just a small episode.

He had always thought he had forgotten it completely.

……

Five years later, just the other day, he went to a charity event.

There were several children chasing and playing in the venue.

He frowned.

He doesn't really like the noise of children. …

"Boss Bai..."

Someone came to greet me.

A perfect and polite smile quickly appeared on his face. "Boss Zhang, long time no see..."

……

"Ouch~"

He was so busy chatting with someone that he didn't notice a child bumping into him.

He reached out and caught the child who was falling backwards.

"Are you okay?"

The children here are all family members of the participants.

The participants here are all his partners or customers, or potential partners and customers.

There was no need for him to argue with a child.

……

The children are not afraid of strangers.

After standing firm, he looked at him with bright eyes, "There's a sheep!"

sheep?
He was stunned.

Boss Zhang, who had been talking to him, was also stunned.

"What sheep?"

"Where are the sheep here?"

……

“There really are sheep!”

The questioned child quickly argued, "I heard the sheep bleating!"

He and Boss Zhang looked at each other.

This is where a charity event is held, in a high-end hotel.

Why are there sounds of sheep?

……

"Serena!"

Before the child could continue arguing, his mother quickly came over and grabbed his hand.

She smiled awkwardly at the two men with puzzled expressions.

"I'm sorry this kid disturbed you."

……

The child's mother dragged the child away forcefully.

The sound of a woman scolding her child could be heard faintly in the air.

"How many times have I told you not to run around here..."

"...Look, I bumped into someone..."

……

"Mom, I heard the sheep bleating!"

the child shouted excitedly.

He didn't take the woman's previous criticism to heart at all.

"..."

"real!"

"mom-"

The child's voice disappeared.

He knew that the child's mother must have rejected the child's statement and forbade the child to continue "making trouble".

After all, how can a sheep's cry come from a human body?
……

Boss Zhang smiled at him and said, "Children really speak in childish language."

“We adults don’t understand.”

He smiled too, "Yeah."

……

After Boss Zhang left, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

……

"Sheep!"

……

The sudden sound from his memory startled him.

……

"Sheep!"

"There are sheep!"

……

sheep……

Sheep again...

what happened?

He frowned in thought.

I clearly didn't care last time.

This time, for some reason, he inexplicably cared about it.

His hand subconsciously rubbed the jade ball in his palm.

This is a habit he has gradually developed over the past few years.

He paused.

five years ago……

The first time he was told that he heard the bleating of sheep was five years ago.

It was when he just got the jade ball.

He remembers...

He reached up and knocked his head.

At that time, the child... was just staring at his jade ball.

this time……

The child seemed to have not had time to discover where the sheep's bleating sound came from on his body.

He was just about to raise his hand to take a closer look at the jade ball when the host's voice came from the stage.

The charity event has begun.

……

He held the jade ball tightly and walked towards his own position.

……

After returning home, he observed the jade ball for a long time.

I listened for a long time.

Nothing was found.

When he came to his senses, he found that it was already dark outside.

He laughed at himself like a fool.

……

But the next day, he still found the old man to ask about the jade ball.
