Chapter 2490 Special Breath

Lunch didn't last long.

The two old men yawned one after another, showing that they were sleepy.

Xiao Xiao naturally wouldn't fail to see it.

……

"Thank you for your invitation."

“Lunch was delicious.”

Xiao Xiao stopped and turned to say goodbye to the two old men who had seen him off to the door.

"I am leaving."

"I'm sorry to bother you today."

……

The two old people did not look very well.

"Duh~Duh~"

The old man's cane tapped the ground again and again.

"…It's hard for you to eat with us."

Their original intention was that the young man listened to them patiently and it happened to be lunch time, so they invited him to stay for lunch.

did not think of……

The atmosphere at the dinner table was so bad.

It's all their fault.

All in all, it's content that makes people unhappy.

Besides, they hadn’t even eaten much...he and his wife started yawning one after another.

In the eyes of ordinary people, doesn't this mean driving away customers?

But they really didn't mean it.

They couldn't control their mental fatigue.

Fortunately, Xiao didn't think too much about it.

Moreover, although the meal time was not long, Xiao really finished almost all the dishes as they said at the beginning.

They were happy but also a little surprised.

Student Xiao doesn't look strong and is tall and thin, but I didn't expect him to have such a good appetite.

He is indeed a young man.

While expressing his feelings, the old man couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He used to love eating.

But recently, his appetite has been getting smaller and smaller.

He is not satisfied psychologically.

But his stomach protested to him.

There was nothing he could do.

……

Xiao's performance also made them truly believe that he had no dissatisfaction with them.

This gave them some comfort.

Otherwise, if they did something with the intention of expressing gratitude but got the opposite feedback, wouldn’t their efforts be in vain?
……

The old lady pursed her lips.

"Student Xiao, just listen to our story."

"Don't take it too seriously."

"We want to thank you for chatting with us two old people."

They haven't chatted with young people like this for a long time.

My son...comes less often because of my wife.

Every time he came, he didn't stay long.

Besides, they would not tell these things to their son.

Wouldn't that be a nuisance to my son?
"I'm glad you like my cooking, too."

Classmate Xiao ate almost all the food she cooked, which really made her feel accomplished.

Lele's accident made her doubt herself.

She knew she was overthinking...but she couldn't help herself from thinking that...

She felt that... everyone was blaming her... blaming her for her negligence... for being useless...

……

Who said no?
Anyone who has heard the whole story of Lele's accident will think that it was their fault.

They themselves think so too.

This is irrefutable.

But, in other ways...she could get some positive feedback...

She...felt very happy.

It seemed that even the heavy mood had lightened a little.

……

Xiao Xiao could feel the two old men's eyes on his back.

It was not until he turned the corner that the "burning" on his back dissipated.

……

The bluestone road exudes a faint chill.

The already quiet alley became even quieter due to the cold temperature.

It seems like two different worlds compared to the bustling streets outside.

Xiao Xiao stopped and pushed open the gate of the yard.

……

"Chirp~"

Xiao Xiao's lips curled up at the enthusiastic welcome.

……

The yard was not much warmer than the alley.

Instead, it adds a bit of poverty.

However, the rich fragrance of the flowers made people forget the coldness, and the plum blossoms in front of them made people feel intoxicated. "Master Xiao Xiao."

The ethereal voice without a trace of smoke entered Xiao Xiao's ears.

The graceful Mei girl slowly walked towards him.

After a simple greeting, the plum girl will return to the plum tree.
"Plum girl."

Xiao Xiao called out to the monster that was about to disappear.

Mei Nu turned around.

"Master Xiao Xiao, is there something wrong?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao took out the jewelry from his pocket.

Silver-blue diamonds flashed with thin streams of light.

Mei Nu opened her eyes slightly.

Peculiar shape.

It had never seen the shape of a gear before.

Therefore, I am very unfamiliar with this style.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao handed the jewelry to Mei Nu.

Mei was slightly stunned.

She looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Master Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"have a look."

"Can you find anything?"

Hearing this, although she still felt confused, Mei reached out and took the jewelry from Xiao Xiao's hand.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary human accessory.

But since Lord Xiao Xiao showed it to him specifically.
There must be something special about this piece of jewelry.

Mei Nu frowned.

He looked at the ornament more carefully.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything to disturb Mei Nu.

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

The trunk is tall.

The branches are lush and slender.

It is dotted with plum blossoms that look like they were carved from the finest white jade.

A cold wind blew.

The plum blossoms sway gently like wind chimes in the wind.

In a trance, one almost thought he heard the crisp sound of wind chimes.

Ms. Mei was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

She was thinking seriously.

special place.
What to discover.
Mei Nu stared at the accessories.

The unblinking gaze seemed to burn a hole in the jewelry.

"Do you sense any special aura?"

Xiao Xiao reminded.

A special smell.?

More specific.

Mei cheered herself up in her heart.

The jewelry that seemed beautiful just a second ago can no longer attract its attention.

Lady Mei’s expression was slightly condensed.

The cool breath on her body mixed with the rich fragrance of plum blossoms drifted away.
The plum fragrance in the yard became a little stronger.

Xiao Xiao looked up at the sky behind the plum tree.

The sun had previously hidden behind the clouds.

The whole sky looked a little gray.

It is quite consistent with the cold temperament of winter sky.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

Mei Nu's brows raised slightly.

what?
what exactly is it.
"Ok?"

Mei Nu unconsciously uttered a puzzled sound.

Xiao Xiao's gaze fell on Mei Nu.

Mei Nu put the ornament on its forehead.

Eyes slightly closed.

The hair on her cheek seemed to be blown by the wind, dancing in the air.

"what!"

Mei Nu exclaimed.

Her eyes widened.

He revealed an extremely rare and somewhat exaggerated expression.

"this is"

A very light and faint sound drifted in the cold wind.

".Master Xiao Xiao."

Mei Nu concealed the slightly complicated expression on her face.

“It has my scent on it.”

The scent of a plum lady?
Xiao Xiao was surprised for a moment.

Then he didn't seem that surprised.

Because they are all plum trees, Xiao Xiao thinks that Mei Nu might be able to find something from the ornaments.
