Chapter 272: Duck's Confusion

Xiao Xiao: ...

Facing the "condemnation" of Zhang Bo and others, Xiao Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. How could they talk about something that had not even happened at all so seriously?

Didn’t his previous behavior prove that he and Su Youjin were just friends, at least for now? Who knows what will happen in the future?

He asked himself if his words and actions showed any ambiguity, but the boss and the others still teased him whenever they got the chance. Now, looking at their serious expressions, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a headache.

"I don't have anyone I like."

Xiao Xiao felt that he should clarify this point, so as to prevent these guys from making wild guesses and making random guesses.

"Really?"

Zhang Bo and the others expressed their doubts, "Su Youjin doesn't like it either?"

"Like it."

Seeing the shocked faces of several people, Xiao Xiao said the second half of the sentence slowly, with a faint smile in his eyes, "How can you be friends if you don't like it?"

Who would want to be friends with someone they hate?

Zhang Bo and the others' faces froze for a moment. Their expressions were a little weird, yet very funny.

"Haha~"

Xiao Xiao laughed unceremoniously, and while everyone was stunned, he quickly walked to the dormitory door, opened it and walked in.

"Lao San (Third Brother)!"

There was a faint sound of grinding teeth in the voice, showing that the owner was not in a happy mood.

……

These past few days, Zhang Bo and others had been nagging him about Su Youjin. Feeling somewhat annoyed, Xiao Xiao set out for Xiangshan in the morning when he had no classes.

Now is a good time to appreciate the maple leaves. The red maples all over the mountains always make Xiao Xiao stop and appreciate them.

Moreover, I wonder if he can meet the duck this time?

……

The red maples in Xiangshan are just as stunning as I remember.

The bright red colors of the forest, with different shades of color, almost dazzle the eyes of tourists.

Xiao Xiao climbed the stairs, and the maple forest in his eyes became more and more overwhelming.

The clean and pleasant scent of grass and trees makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Coffee~"

Feifei stood on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, with a gleam of crimson light passing through her silver-blue eyes, adding a bit of dreamy beauty.

"Ouch~"

Taotie glanced at the maple forest around him with disinterest, then lazily closed his eyes and dozed off.

Xiao Xiao's mouth corners slightly raised. He walked into the maple forest on the side and strolled leisurely there. The crimson maple leaves within reach had delicate outlines. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but gently pinched a maple leaf and looked at it carefully.

"Feifei, what beautiful maple leaves."

Xiao Xiao's fingertips slowly stroked the maple leaf in his hand, which felt slightly rough.

"Coffee~"

Feifei also leaned close to a maple leaf and twitched his nose, as if sniffing the fragrance of the maple leaf.

The eyes became more radiant because of this beautiful red.

……

Although he hoped to meet the eel, Xiao Xiao did not look for it too hard.

It is great to see the ducks, but the beautiful scenery in front of you should not be missed.

Moreover, Xiao Xiao, who was standing in front of a maple tree to admire it, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, with a happy smile in his eyes.

Even if you don't look for it specifically, won't the duck appear?
The familiar demonic aura behind him made Xiao Xiao relax his tense body for a moment. He turned around slowly, and his eyes met the eyes of the elf accurately.

A monster as red as a maple tree was perched on a branch of a maple tree. Its figure was hidden behind layers of maple leaves, but its green beak was particularly eye-catching.

And there is a long tail hanging down.

Even though he had seen it more than once, Xiao Xiao still smiled with some emotion: What a beautiful monster.

This gorgeous red, surrounded by layers of red maple trees, is even more uniquely beautiful. …

"Hello, Duck."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and chuckled, his clear voice was extremely gentle.

"Hello, human."

Wuwu glanced at Xiao Xiao somewhat nonchalantly, but the strange tone of his voice was very pleasant to the ear, with a touch of remoteness and elegance that came from the accumulation of time.

"I'm Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao smiled and introduced himself again.

"I know."

The duck rolled its eyes gracefully; it has a good memory.

"Then please call me Xiao Xiao."

"May I?"

Xiao Xiao's tone was gentle, with a slight curve at the corners of his mouth, and he asked very seriously.

Yuyu finally turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao, with a strange light in his eyes. Xiao Xiao let Yuyu look at him, unmoved, with his brows relaxed and a faint smile.

"...Troublesome human."

Wuwu finally spoke as if he had come to some conclusion, but when he saw that troublesome human was about to speak again, he spoke with some impatience, "Xiao Xiao."

"Is this okay?"

The duck swung its gorgeous tail, drawing a graceful arc in the air, leaving behind some bright red afterimages.

"Ah."

The smile on Xiao Xiao's lips deepened a little.

At this time, other tourists came over.

They were a young couple. The girl was holding the boy's hand. They looked up at the maple trees around them with expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.

The boy looked at the girl with a doting look on his face.

The young couple quickly passed by Xiao Xiao. The girl accidentally met Xiao Xiao's gaze and gave him a big smile.

The beautiful scenery made people feel extremely happy. The cheerful girl smiled generously and infected Xiao Xiao with her good mood, and Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile back.

The boy also smiled at Xiao Xiao in a friendly manner.

It was not until the couple disappeared into the depths of the maple forest and no new tourists came around that Xiao Xiao looked up at the eel again.

But I found that the eel was staring blankly at the front.

That direction is... "Wuwu, are you looking at the couple that just passed by?"

Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the eel and found that it was the direction where the couple left before. He couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Ah."

Hehe did not hide or cover up, and admitted it very frankly.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's puzzled expression, the eagle stroked its gorgeous feathers. Its green beak seemed to be glittering. The combination of red and green on its body was so gorgeous and noble. "I'm just a little curious about human emotions."

"Human emotions?"

Xiao Xiao repeated E'er's words with some surprise but also some understanding.

"Yes."

The strange tone always gives people the illusion of being out of touch with reality, and makes people feel a little dazed.

"The emotions of monsters are simple and thin."

"But humans, who are obviously much weaker, have such rich and diverse emotions."

The duck felt a little emotional and puzzled. It had lived for a long time and had seen a lot, but it always felt as if there was a wall between it and human emotions.

It seems to understand a lot, but it also seems to still have many confusions.

Every time it thinks it has understood human emotions very well, it is always confused by human behavior.
