Chapter 2291 Little Sister

Xu Zizhen gestured with his fingers, indicating that it was really a little bit uneven.

"what?"

Xu Zizhen's voice was too vague.

The old man didn't hear clearly.

He looked at the old woman, "What did he say just now?"

The old lady also shook her head in confusion, "Xiao Zhen, what did you just say?"

"Little what?"

……

Do I have to say such embarrassing words again?

Xu Zizhen waved his hand, "Forget it, if you didn't hear it, forget it."

"It's not a big deal-"

Seeing his grandfather glaring at him, Xu Zizhen smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll tell you."

"I just feel... a little... unfair."

"Unfair?"

This time the two old men heard it clearly.

"why?"

The old lady was puzzled.

The old man's face showed a thoughtful look.

……

"Well, it's really just a little bit."

Xu Zizhen smiled awkwardly, "After all, wasn't it me who found Master Xiao this time?"

Well.

Although it was also Master Xiao he found last time.

But last time, it was his uncle who first noticed that something was wrong with Ling Feng. He was just a runner and messenger.

But this time, if we have to say who has the greatest influence on the whole thing...it should be him, right?

Why was it his uncle who got the gift in the end instead of him?

He felt a little aggrieved.

……

The old lady understood.

The old man also showed an expression that was not very surprised.

He had somewhat guessed the answer before.

He grinned and patted his grandson's arm, "He is still a child after all."

……

"..."

The corners of Xu Zizhen's mouth twitched fiercely, "I'm about to graduate from college."

Ok,

He also knew that what he had said before was childish and seemed very petty.

"I'm just saying it casually."

Didn’t the two old people ask first?
Otherwise, he would just say those words to himself.

What is past is past.

……

"Uncle Xu."

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, "Ling Feng is weird..."

strange?
Xu Qingzhu was stunned.

Strange what-
"I wonder why you don't call it little sister anymore?"

Xiao Xiao spoke the second half of the sentence clearly.

"Pfft~"

Xu Zizhen quickly covered his mouth.

His shoulders were shaking violently.

His face turned red.

……

Xu Qingzhu: …

"Okay, laugh if you want to."

"Don't hold yourself back."

……

Xu Zizhen put down his hand somewhat embarrassedly and took several deep breaths, "...I don't feel like laughing that much either."

"What's so funny about this?"

“It’s not like I don’t know.”

Yes.

In the story that his uncle told him at the beginning, Ling Feng was called "little sister".

He already knew it.

But, he didn't know why, he just couldn't help wanting to laugh.

……

Xu Qingzhu glanced at his nephew with a smile.

Yes.

Already knew.

I was laughing just now as if I was hearing it for the first time.

He looked at Master Xiao, a wry smile appeared on his face -
"You can tell Ling Feng."

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

Xu Qingzhu's face froze.

He slowly looked at the maple tree, "...Well, I'm already this old..."

"That name..."

It’s okay to say it when you’re telling a story, but to the person himself… “I’m embarrassed to shout.”

An uncle calls a little sister?
Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.

……

"Puff~" Xu Zizhen covered his mouth again.

"Haha~"

The old man laughed without any scruples.

The old lady curled her lips when she saw her son, who was always calm and composed, looking embarrassed.

……

Xu Qingzhu took a deep breath.

He completely ignored the few people who laughed at him.

……

"you sure?"

Ok?
Xu Qingzhu thought Master Xiao was talking to him and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

But I noticed that Master Xiao was looking at the maple tree.

It dawned on him.

Master Xiao was talking to Ling Feng.

Before he could look away, he saw Master Xiao turned his head and looked at him.

The smile in her eyes gave him an inexplicable bad feeling.

……

"Uncle Xu, Lingfeng said that if you are willing to call it little sister, it will give Xu Zizhen a maple leaf."

Xiao Xiao found it somewhat amusing.

Compared to Ling Feng when they first met, this monster seemed to have become a little more lively.

……

Xu Qingzhu was stunned.

Xu Zizhen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?!"

"Uncle, please scream!"

……

Xu Qingzhu felt quite pressured by his nephew's expectant eyes.

He smiled bitterly, "Master Xiao, this..."

"Ling Feng kind of misses you calling it that."

Xiao Xiao explained with a smile.

Ling Feng certainly didn't mean to make things difficult for anyone by making this request.

Although Ling Feng's personality seemed to him to have become a little more lively, it was not as if he had suddenly changed from being cold to being sinister or playing tricks on others.

Just as he said just now.

Ling Feng simply wanted to hear Uncle Xu call him that name again.

……

"is it?"

The bitter smile on Xu Qingzhu's face faded, and a look of nostalgia gradually emerged.

"……I am very happy……"

Does this mean that...the years they spent together...are not only precious memories for him, but also a pleasant and unforgettable memory for Ling Feng?

Xu Qingzhu prepared himself in his heart and said, "Okay."

Isn't it just calling me little sister again?

He had called out countless times in the past few days.

Although he never called out again for a longer time.

……

Xu Qingzhu opens his mouth -
"..."

……

"Hey?"

Xu Zizhen rubbed his ears in confusion, "Uncle, did you call?"

He looked at Xiao Xiao inquiringly, "Master Xiao, did your uncle speak just now?"

……

"Hey, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Without waiting for Xiao Xiao to respond, the old man started shouting first.

"How old are you?"

"So thin-skinned?"

The old man urged his son, "That's enough, call now."

"Xiaozhen is counting on you to get him the maple leaf."

Thinking of his grandson's somewhat lost look just now, the old man still felt sorry for his grandson in his heart despite what he said before.

Now there is a chance to let my grandson get the maple leaf, and the price is just that my son calls me "little sister". What is there to hesitate about?
Call quickly.

"uncle."

The anticipation in Xu Zizhen's eyes almost overflowed.

"understood."

Xu Qingzhu touched his neck.

".Miss."

A long-lost name came out of his throat.

Xu Qingzhu felt a little dazed.

Many images flashed through my mind.

Those scenes had been deliberately forgotten by him.

However, after "seeing" Ling Feng again, these scenes swept over him in an irresistible manner.

Now it's just a name.

Many nostalgic scenes appeared before his eyes.

The boy and girl of the past
Of course, that's what he thought.

Actually it's about a boy and a monster.

No wonder, after so many years, he has grown taller and his facial features have changed his appearance.

But the girl in his eyes always looked the same as when he first met her.
