Chapter 2823 The Old Man and Shangqing. Continued

The elegant old man smiled.

"Shangqing, take your time before you touch an animal next time."

“Don’t scare them.”

"Otherwise, they will attack you."

……

The elegant old man spoke with a lot of sincerity.

"Look, you were attacked just now, weren't you?"

“Luckily, no one was hurt.”

……

"It can't hurt me."

Shangqing said calmly.

Being attacked by a fox was an accident.

It would be really embarrassing for a fox to hurt itself.

……

The elegant old man was slightly stunned.

Then he smiled bitterly in his heart.

This kid...

What's the point of competing in a place like this?

……

Still a child after all.

Today, Shangqing finally showed the elegant old man some performance that was consistent with Shangqing's age.

A hint of smile flashed across his eyes.

Don't you want to admit that you were almost hurt by a fox?
He always knew.

Shangqing is a proud child.

He admired and liked Shangqing's pride.

Pride is not arrogance.

Pride is having a clear understanding of oneself and sufficient confidence in one's abilities.

He found Shangqing's pride at this moment very adorable.

……

"Ah."

The elegant old man followed Shangqing's words.

"It can't hurt you."

The old man's eyes were full of smiles.

"But don't you like it and want to be close to it?"

"It has little to do with whether it can hurt you or not."

"After all, you're not going to fight it."

……

Shangqing Boy: ...

"I'm not going to fight it."

How could it fight with a fox?
……

The smile in the elegant old man's eyes deepened a little.

In his eyes, Shangqing at this moment was just a disgruntled child.

"Ah."

"Of course I know Shangqing won't fight with a little fox."

"Shangqing likes little foxes, right?"

……

like?

"……nor."

The Shangqing boy looked at the back of his hand.

The red marks have completely disappeared.

It was just a little interested in this little fox.

It’s not really a matter of liking it or not.

……

The elegant old man smiled.

He looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Ajiu doesn't like strangers touching it?"

He remembered that the child seemed to have said before...

As people get older, their memory really doesn't work that well.

Plus, most of his attention was on Shangqing before...

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

"Ajiu doesn't like strangers touching it."

……

The elegant old man felt a little regretful.

Shangqing likes this little fox. If possible, he hopes Shangqing can touch the little fox as he wishes.

But it's not without hope.

It just takes time.

"Superior."

The elegant old man curled his lips towards Shangqing.

"You can contact Xiao Xiao more often in the future."

"Go visit Ah Jiu often."

"After a while, Jiu will get familiar with you and won't reject your touch anymore."

……

Shangqing Boy: ...

"No need."

The Shangqing boy flatly refused.

Why did it go to so much trouble for a fox?
After being interrupted by the old man, Shangqing Tongzi almost forgot his suspicion about the little fox's unusual behavior.

……

The elegant old man ignored Shang Qing's words.

He looked at Xiao Xiao again.

"Xiao Xiao, Shangqing is a good kid."

"I'm not saying anything..."

"If you are all willing..."

"You can have more contact."

The elegant old man hoped that Shangqing could have friends closer to his age.

Although……

He was not clear about the situation in Shangqing.

He also didn't know whether it was his misunderstanding that Shangqing was always alone in his eyes?
In fact, this is not the case.

But it's always good to have one more friend.

Shangqing is a good child. He is also an excellent child.

Xiao Xiao is also an excellent and good child.

He thought it would be a good thing for them to become friends.

of course.

These are just his wishful thinking.

He had no intention of forcing the two of them.

Whether or not to be friends... ultimately depends on their own wishes.

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

He looked at the boy Shangqing.

"Welcome to Xiao's Teahouse."

His eyebrows were curved.

"The snacks just now are what the teahouse has."

……

dessert?

The eyes of Shangqing boy, who had not paid much attention to it, suddenly lit up.

Is there the snack it just had in the teahouse?
……

The change in Shangqing boy's expression was too obvious.

At least that's the case in the eyes of the elegant old man.

The old man couldn't help laughing.

This kid...really likes the snacks from his old classmate's house.

next time……

He should also prepare some snacks at home.

The elegant old man couldn't help but think.

It’s just that the teahouse owned by his old classmate is too far from his home.

Snacks can’t be kept for too long…

He still went to the market to look at the snacks that had been stored for a longer time.

I just don’t know if Shangqing will like it?

……

"All right."

After chatting for a while, the elegant old man noticed the position of the hour and minute hands on the wall.

He was slightly startled.

It turns out that time passes fastest when we are chatting.

He smiled at Xiao Xiao.

"Xiao Xiao, it's getting late."

"Go back."

If it weren't for the distance issue, he really wanted Xiao Xiao to stay for dinner.

Pity.

The elegant old man shook his head in his heart.

He now discovered a problem.

For him, living in the suburbs is good for everything.

The transportation is not very convenient.

He has relatively low demand for transportation.

This is irrelevant.

But for some of his friends who come to visit him, this is a problem that must be taken into consideration.

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao glanced at the clock on the wall.

It's about time.

He got up.

"Then Grandpa Ouyang, I'll leave first."

……

"it is good."

The elegant old man accompanied Xiao Xiao all the way to the gate of the yard.

The boy Shangqing didn't want to move at first.

This person just left.

It's none of his business.

But the elegant old man discovered Shangqing's "laziness".

He waved to Shangqing.

"Shangqing, let's send Xiao Xiao off together."

Shangqing Boy: ...

It tried to pretend it didn't hear.

However, it happened to meet Xiao Xiao's gaze.

It felt a chill in its heart.

It suddenly felt that if it didn't see this human off, it would seem like it was afraid of this person.

The Shangqing boy stood up.

……

Xiao Xiao walked out of the door.

He turned around.

"Grandpa Ouyang, you can just send him here."

……

"I'll take you to the station."

The elegant old man turned and looked at Dafu, "You can take Dafu for a walk by the way."

……

Da Fu was lying on the ground in the yard.

He looked uninterested in the old man's advice.

……

"No."

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"The weather forecast says it will rain later."

"Grandpa Ouyang, please don't take Dafu out today."

……

"Is it going to rain again?"

The elegant old man was a little surprised.

It’s not good to take Dafu out.

This year, under his careful care, Dafu's health has improved a lot.

But Dafu is old after all.

A slight cold could be a fatal blow to Dafu.
