Chapter 2283 Footsteps

"We know you're doing this for our own good."

The old man smiled.

"That kid is really clingy."

"I hope what you just said can make him give up this maple tree."

The old man looked up at the maple tree beside him.

The maple leaves all around made his cloudy eyes red.

The maple tree in his house is growing really well.

The branches and leaves are lush.

The trunk is thick.

The leaves remain red longer than those of other maple trees.

That person also has vision.

no no.

It has nothing to do with vision.

Even a person with no taste could tell how good the maple trees in his house were.

"Ah."

Xu Zizhen nodded.

He hoped so too.

Let's leave this matter here.

It won't be good for anyone if we continue to argue.

"what happened?"

At some point, Ling Feng sat next to Xiao Xiao.

It took a piece of maple leaf crisp directly from the plate in Xiao Xiao's hand.

The vague voice weakened the coldness of the monster's voice.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at Ling Feng with a little surprise.

As if knowing what Xiao Xiao was worried about, Ling Feng took another piece of maple leaf crisp.

“They’re all looking at me.”

This "I" Lingfeng refers to the maple tree.

……

Seeing Ling Feng being so rude, Taotie also landed on the plate with his mouth wide open.

Xiao Xiao flicked Taotie on the forehead with his finger.

Although Taotie had a bit of anger on his face, his mouth narrowed a little.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled.

He explained to Ling Feng, "The person who just left wanted this maple tree."

He raised his eyes and looked at the maple tree in front of him.

The single red maple color has a beautiful visual effect.

It's amazing.

No wonder such a beautiful maple tree made that person obsessed and unable to give up.

……

Ling Feng frowned in displeasure.

"I live here."

As far as it can remember, it has been staying in this courtyard.

It has no plans to move.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, "They don't plan to ask you to move."

"only……"

“That person is very persistent.”

……

Ling Feng's face showed a thoughtful look.

"you do not need to worry."

Xiao Xiao picked up a piece of maple leaf crisps, broke off a small piece and fed it to Feifei.

"The Xu family will handle this matter."

……

"Old Three, why are you-"

Zhuge Yun suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

This made the people who were attracted by his voice and looked over a little confused.

"Second brother, why are you talking halfway?"

However, seeing the empty plate in front of his third brother, Zhao Luzheng also knew what his second brother had not yet finished saying.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhuge Yun.

"Xu Zizhen, don't look so sad."

"How big of a deal is it?"

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

"It's fine."

……

Ok?
Zhao Luzheng blinked.

After chatting with Xu Zizhen for a few words, Zhuge Yun came to Zhao Luzheng's side.

"Why is your brain not working fast enough?"

"Have you forgotten who the third brother buys so many snacks for every time?"

"This time it will definitely be..."

Zhuge Yun winked.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhao Lu suddenly realized.

Oh!
All the maple leaf crisps that the third brother took were eaten by monsters!
……

It turned out to be the case.

Zhao Luzheng had a look on his face as if he had finally figured it out.

He just said it.

It turns out that monsters also like to eat maple leaf crisps?
Uh……

Zhao Luzheng realized that he was a fool for having this doubt.

Didn’t Third Brother tell them a long time ago?

Even if the third brother didn't tell them, it could be seen from the large amount of desserts he bought every time.

Monsters like to eat sweets.

At least, the ones around the third brother are like this.

……

"Keep your expression down."

Zhuge Yun secretly glared at Zhao Luzheng.

The third brother is also bold.

Although most people here know the existence of monsters, the two old people don't know.

What if the two old people are scared?
……

"oh oh."

Zhao Luzheng immediately put on a serious expression.

Zhang Bo hit Zhao Luzheng directly on the head.

“Overcorrection.”

……

Zhao Lu was covering his head and grimacing.

Xu Zizhen found it somewhat amusing, yet somewhat puzzled by Zhang Bo's sudden action.

"what happened?"

……

"it's okay no problem."

Zhuge Yun waved his hand, "They are just joking."

……

"Oh."

Xu Zizhen didn't delve into it further.

His mind is now full of Hong Feng's affairs. The irritation in his heart is not deep, but it is like a silk thread entwined around his heart.

It lingers like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

It made him a little unhappy.

……

"Grandpa, grandma, we are leaving."

Xu Zizhen waved goodbye to the two old men.

"Hey, be careful on your way back."

The old lady gave some instructions to the young people.

"Xiaozhen, bring your classmates to play next time."

"Master Xiao."

The old lady imitated her grandson's way of calling him and looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile, "Whenever you want to eat maple leaf crisps, just come over."

"Grandma will make it for you."

Chef Xiao, who ate two large plates of maple leaf crisps by himself, left a deep impression on the old lady.

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Thank you."

……

"What are you thanking me for? You're welcome. You're welcome."

The old lady's brows relaxed.

She was so happy to have young people visiting her home.

I feel like I have become a lot more energetic.

……

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xiao Xiao and his companions turned around and left.

"Grandpa, grandma, please go in."

Xu Zizhen urged.

"Close the door."

He was still a little upset about Hong Feng's uninvited visit just now.

"Call me when Hong Feng comes again."

"Don't let him in."

……

"Hey……"

The old lady looked embarrassed.

Isn't it bad to not let people in?
……

"we know."

The old man responded.

"Everything will be discussed when you come."

"Ah."

Xu Zizhen nodded.

Seeing that the old man and grandson had reached a consensus, the old lady hesitated several times and finally remained silent.

……

Xu Zizhen took a few quick steps.

Soon, I saw Master Xiao and others waiting in front.

He smiled sheepishly, "Let's go."

……

a week later-
In the quiet library, "Dongdong~Dongdong~"

The sound of rapid footsteps came closer and closer.

Many students frowned.

……

The owner of the footsteps seemed to be looking for someone.

The sound of footsteps continued between the layers of bookshelves.

……

Xiao Xiao sat by the window.

The sun pours in through the windows.

Occasionally a breeze would blow through the gap in the window onto the pages of the book.

Xiao Xiao turned a page of the book.

……

"Xiao-"

"This classmate."

what?
Xu Zizhen turned his head.

A hand was placed on his shoulder.

He looked along the arm.

A face with a hint of anger came into his sight.

"Student, you can't run in the library!"

The girl lowered her voice and panted slightly.

……

"I'm not running, I-"

Just walking faster.

Under the girl's unfriendly gaze, Xu Zizhen swallowed his words of explanation and honestly admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry."

"It is my fault."
