Chapter 2247: Encounter at the Candy Store
Xiao Xiao smiled.

Zhuge Yun turned and looked at the blackboard.

This sentence is just a joke.

Naturally no answer is needed.

"Di Di!"

Shrill horn sounds rang out one after another.

Then came the sound of emergency brakes and tires rubbing against the ground.

"What?!"

The driver leaned out of the window and yelled, "The light is green now."

"Watch your children!"

……

"sorry."

The man hugged the child's shoulders and looked apologetic to the driver.

"Be careful next time."

After saying this, the man stepped on the accelerator again and left.

The temporarily affected traffic soon returned to normal.

……

"Jia-"

"Jia'er!"

The man's concern was interrupted by a sharp female voice.

……

The sound of high heels hitting the ground is getting closer.

The man was pushed away forcefully.

hiss~
Because he was squatting, he was pushed back unexpectedly and subconsciously supported himself with his hands.

As a result, the palm of his hand was scratched due to the force.

A slight pain spread from the palm of my hand.

……

"Jiaer, are you okay?"

The woman squatted down, put one hand on her daughter's shoulder, held an umbrella with the other hand, and looked her child up and down.

A face full of worry.

"fine."

The little girl shook her head.

Everything just happened so fast that she was safe before she had time to be scared.

"It was my uncle who saved me."

The little girl gave the man a big smile and said, "Thank you, uncle."

……

The man curled up the corners of his mouth a little awkwardly and embarrassedly.

……

The child's mother seemed not to hear what the child said.

She concentrated on combing the child's rain-soaked hair and slightly wet clothes.

"Well, what is this?"

The woman moved closer to take a closer look at the clothes on the child's shoulders.

Black……

……

Ah!
The man looked down at himself.

"Yes, it's on me."

The man explained quietly, "It's chocolate."

When he was eating, someone accidentally bumped into him and some of the chocolate got on his body.

……

The woman frowned fiercely.

……

"chocolate?"

The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Want to eat?"

The man reached into his pocket and said, "I still-"

"gone."

The woman grabbed the child's hand, stood up and started walking.

"Hey, Mom?"

The little girl staggered a little to catch up with the woman.

"uncle……"

"You're all wet, go home and take a shower, or you'll catch a cold..."

The figures of the woman and the child quickly disappeared behind the overlapping umbrellas.

……

The man's hands slowly loosened in his pockets.

The chocolate fell back into his pocket.

……

Ok?
The man looked up in confusion.

"Is this your umbrella?"

Then the voice in his ears made him understand the current situation.

He quickly reached out and took the umbrella from the other person, "Thank you."

……

"And this umbrella should belong to the little girl from before."

Xiao Xiao handed over another folded umbrella.

"Do you know that little girl?"

".Um."

The man was stunned for a second, then reached out and took the umbrella from the young man, "She is my niece."

"Thank you."

I even put away my umbrella.

The man felt that his bad mood had improved a little.

Getting used to some things is one thing, but humans are not robots, and they will still be sad even if they encounter the same thing many times.

Maybe in a while...

There will be no sadness.

……

niece?

The girl's mother treated the other party as a monster...

Xiao Xiao was a little confused.

However, every family has its own problems, so he kept his doubts in his heart.

……

"Your umbrella."

Xiao Xiao reminded the man. The man was stunned.

He raised his head subconsciously.

The rain fell into his eyes.

He quickly closed his eyes and lowered his head.

……

The man's umbrella shifted to the side when he took over another umbrella.

It’s raining heavily.

The man didn't notice that he was getting wet in the rain.

It was not until Xiao Xiao reminded him that he realized that the rain was falling on him.

……

“Ah, haha.”

The man smiled somewhat awkwardly.

I felt a little awkward because I didn't know what to say.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, "Then I'll go first."

"Oh, alright."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more natural.

……

Xiao Xiao turned and walked forward.

The man stared blankly at the young man's back for a while, then shook his head and glanced at Jiaer's umbrella in his hand.

He hesitated.

This umbrella...how can I return it to Jiaer?
……

Forget it.

Let’s talk about it then.

The man took a step forward.

……

As you enter the mall, melodious music floats in the air.

"Ow~"

Taotie opened his eyes.

It smelled of food.

……

"hiss~"

The white snake shook its tail slightly.

He looks like he is in a good mood.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

After searching for a while, even though he hadn't seen the store yet, the sweet smell in the air reminded him that his destination was just ahead.

……

Arrived.

Xiao Xiao stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the white snake's head.

……

This is a candy store.

The "flashy" layout is exquisite and full of fairy-tale colors.

It's somewhat similar to the candy store I went to last time.

of course.

That's what a candy store feels like.

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the store.

“Welcome~”

The waitress, dressed in sweet and lovely clothes, smiled with her eyes curved.

……

Xiao Xiao directly took... two baskets.

The waiter on the side blinked.

two?

It was the first time she saw a customer taking two baskets directly.

It is quite common to take none.

and also……

The white thing in this guest’s arms…the one with ears…is it a little fox?

so cute.

so beautiful!
Under the bright lights in the store, the little fox's white fur seemed to be glowing.

It just matches this dreamy candy store...so perfectly!

This also caused her to miss the opportunity at the beginning.

Reminding guests to keep an eye on their pets now...seems inappropriate?
Well.

The little fox seems to be sleeping, so there shouldn't be any problem.

The waiter nodded.

The wind chimes at the door rang again.

The waiter immediately put on a sweet smile and came over to greet us.

……

Xiao Xiao quickly filled two baskets.

He turned around and a customer happened to walk into the store.

The man lowered his head, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.

Naturally, he didn't notice Xiao Xiao either.

However, Xiao Xiao recognized the other person at a glance.

After all, they had just spoken.

That's right.

The man entering the store now is the same man who had left his umbrella aside in order to save his niece.

……

Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

What a coincidence.

Including this time, this is the third time they have met.

Yes.

the third time.

The man did not recognize him, but he recognized the man from the beginning.

Their first meeting was also in a candy store.

Unexpectedly, they met again in a candy store.
