Chapter 2598 Being stupid
Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Zizhen.

"let's go."

……

"oh oh."

Xu Zizhen nodded.

He took one last look at the maple tree.

The bare branches look like an ordinary maple tree.

Who would have thought that this was a special maple tree.

He sighed in his heart.

He turned around and quickly caught up with Master Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao went into the house and said goodbye to the two old people.

The old lady was a little surprised.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "Sorry to bother you."

……

"What are you doing?"

The old lady waved her hand, "We just like to have young people come over."

"It saves us from always being the only two old guys in the house, feeling gloomy and depressed."

……

"Zizhen, please see Master Xiao off."

The old man assigned the task.

……

"Yes."

Xu Zizhen saluted in a military manner.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed.

……

The two old men also laughed.

"What's this mess?"

“Not standard at all.”

The old man complained about his grandson.

"Don't ruin this move, kid."

……

"Yes Yes."

Xu Zizhen shrugged.

"Then grandpa and grandma, I'll take Master Xiao out."

……

"Well, let's go."

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Master Xiao, goodbye."

“Next time you want to see the maple tree, just come by yourself.”

The old lady smiled and said, "No need to bring gifts."

"If you bring gifts every time you come, we will be embarrassed to ask you to come over so often."

……

Xiao Xiao curved his eyebrows.

"Ah."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Xu."

"Goodbye grandma."

……

Xu Zizhen followed Xiao Xiao to the door.

"Master Xiao, how are you going back?"

"I-"

……

As if anticipating what Xu Zizhen was going to say, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I've called a taxi."

……

Xu Zizhen was stunned.

Then he laughed too.

"Ok."

"Master Xiao is really quick."

He didn't even notice when Master Xiao called the car.

Maybe it was because he was a little distracted.

……

The car arrived quickly.

Xiao Xiao said goodbye to Xu Zizhen, "Goodbye."

"I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"Thank you."

……

"Master Xiao, you're too polite."

Xu Zizhen hurriedly shook his head, "What's the trouble?"

"I wanted to come here on my own."

"I just happened to come see grandpa and grandma."

Although he had just met the two old people yesterday.

But he felt a little embarrassed when Master Xiao said that.

After all, his behavior was somewhat similar to what his grandfather had done to him before... just to join in the fun.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"I am leaving."

"Goodbye."

……

"Goodbye, Master Xiao."

Xu Zizhen waved to Xiao Xiao who got into the car.

"Happy New Year, Master Xiao."

……

"Happy New Year."

Xiao Xiao sat up straight.

……

The car drove away.

Xu Zizhen stood there for a while, then turned around and started walking.

……

He first went to the yard where the maple tree was.

There is no purpose.

I just suddenly wanted to go and have a look.

……

Xu Zizhen stood not far from the maple tree. The previous scene appeared in his mind.

Although I roughly understood what happened, but seeing it with my own eyes... I still couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart that I couldn't explain.

It just feels... magical, right?
Just now, he was clearly right next to him, but when he looked at Master Xiao, he felt as if there was an invisible wall between him and Master Xiao.

That feeling is very subtle.

It made him feel as if he was in a trance between reality and illusion.

Even now, some of that trance still remains in him.

……

Xu Zizhen suddenly opened his eyes wide with his hands.

The unchanged scenery before him made him burst out laughing.

Stupid or not?
"Zizhen?"

……

Xu Zizhen turned his head.

The two old men looked at him strangely.

"what are you doing?"

The old lady frowned.

……

"What does it look like?"

The old man glared at his grandson in dissatisfaction.

"Why do you get dumber as you grow older?"

……

Xu Zizhen: ...

He was a little amused.

What a coincidence?
He made a rare foolish move...

It just so happened that he was bumped into by two old men.

"I think I just had a brain seizure."

That’s why I thought that if I stretched my eyes wide with my hands, I could see some special images…

"fine."

Xu Zizhen grinned, "I'm sober now."

It was the scene of Master Xiao and Ling Feng communicating just now that stimulated him, which caused him to do some irrational behaviors that were inconsistent with his character.

He had reflected deeply on himself from the expressions of the two old men.

……

"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here?"

Xu Zizhen changed the subject.

Forget about his embarrassing behavior just now.

He himself wanted to forget it.

……

As expected, Xu Zizhen diverted the topic to the two old men.

"We didn't come to see the maple tree just to see you guys. We suddenly wanted to come and see it, too."

The old lady's gaze passed over Xu Zizhen and looked at the maple tree behind him.

"I don't know what's so good about this bare maple tree..."

……

"perhaps……"

Xu Zizhen's voice was a little vague, "Master Xiao's eyes are not bare maple trees, right..."

……

"what?"

The old lady looked at her grandson, "What?"

……

"Yes."

Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "What's so good about this bare maple tree?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have done something as stupid as I did just now."

……

"You also know that you looked stupid just now?"

The old man complained bluntly.

……

Xu Zizhen: ...

……

"What are you talking about, old man?"

The old lady glared at the old man, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't exaggerate."

"Nonsense."

……

Old man:......

He is talking nonsense...

The old man was a little dissatisfied.

But in the end...

Good men do not fight with women.

He told himself so.

He turned to look at Xu Zizhen, "Is there anything going on later?"

"Eat lunch before leaving?"

He also invited Master Xiao to stay for lunch just now, but Master Xiao refused.

He didn't force it.

Mainly because it is the Chinese New Year period now.

It's time for family reunion.

Master Xiao wanted to go home, so he didn't want to waste his time.

Anyway, as long as Master Xiao comes to see the maple tree in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat.

There is no rush this time either.

……

"it is good."

Xu Zizhen nodded.

Anyway, since he was already here, he didn't have any plans for the future...

and many more.

He remembered an idea that had popped into his mind earlier.

"grandmother."

Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Please teach me how to make maple leaf crisps."

It just so happens that it’s the holidays now.

Now that you have an idea, you must put it into action.

He considers himself to be a very proactive person.

……

"Teach you how to make maple leaf crisps?"

The old lady was a little surprised, but also a little happy. "Why did you suddenly want to learn how to make maple leaf crisps from grandma?"

This child has never shown any interest in making snacks before.

The old lady was a little confused.
