Chapter 3174 Is it this?
“So he’s a kid who grew up in a teahouse.”

It's normal for Master Xiao to have some elegant aura.

……

"You're overly flattering."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

When he looked at himself, he really couldn't see anything unusual about his temperament.

……

"What's the compliment?"

The old man waved his hand, "No exaggeration, no exaggeration."

"Master Xiao is Master Xiao."

Thinking of Xiao Xiao being able to see Ling Feng, the old man sighed more and more, "He is not an ordinary person."

……

The boy chewed the maple leaf crisp slowly in his mouth.

The eyes turn left and right.

I was confused about the conversation between the old man and Xiao Xiao.

Is this... just a courtesy?

The boy came up with a word.

……

He tilted his head slightly.

Oh.

Is it a compliment?

Looking at the old man's relaxed brows, the boy nodded in his heart.

The old man likes this big brother very much.

Also.

If they didn’t have a good relationship, why would the elder brother bring him here?

Judging from the way the older brother addressed the two elderly people when they met, it seems that they are not relatives.

of course.

This is just his guess.

If the other person is willing to call you by your last name...it's not impossible.

Although this seems a little strange.

It is also relatively rare.

Like him, he always calls grandpa and grandma directly.

At most, you can add another ranking order.

Anyway, the surname will not be added in front.

He would only add the surname when addressing an elderly person who was not related to him.

……

The two old people did not eat the maple leaf crisps.

When asked, they smiled and said that they usually eat a lot of maple leaf crisps.

This time is not a big deal.

The two old people finished a cup of tea and left the yard to the two children.

……

The boy swallowed the maple leaf crisp in his mouth.

When the old man was around, he was too embarrassed to speak.

He would only respond when the old man talked to him.

Otherwise, he is just a quiet background.

Oh.

A quiet background for eating.

He picked up the cup and sipped the tea.

With the help of the teacup, he carefully observed the expressions of the old man and Xiao Xiao.

He reacted belatedly.

He was actually in a strange old man's home, sitting in their yard, drinking tea and eating snacks...

When did he become so courageous?
How did all this happen?
The boy was a little confused.

It seems... that the current situation has evolved naturally.

……

The old people are very kind.

But for someone he met for the first time, he couldn't be more open except for a polite response.

After the old man left, the boy breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

……

"very nervous?"

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from seeing the old man off and turned to look at the boy.

……

The boy suddenly felt embarrassed and uncomfortable.

He pursed his lips.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to answer?

……

Xiao Xiao smiled and changed the subject.

"All right."

"The two old people left."

"Do you have anything to ask?"

……

The boy was stunned.

What does he want to ask?

he……

……

The boy was stumped.

He reached up and knocked his head.

What's his problem...

Before……

Because the appearance of the old man interrupted his thoughts.

Before the old man showed up...

The boy looked like he was deep in thought.

What did he think of?
What does he want to ask...

……

"Can't you remember?"

Xiao Xiao wanted to remind the boy.

But his words seemed to be misunderstood by the boy.

The boy shouted hastily, "No!"

"Wait a moment."

"I remembered!"

……

The boy waved his hands unconsciously, as if trying to stop Xiao Xiao from saying the next words.

Xiao Xiao reached out and slightly moved the teacup in front of the boy.

Otherwise, the boy would have knocked over the teacup.

……

"Not urgent."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

"Think slowly."

……

The boy didn't hear what Xiao Xiao said.

He didn't even notice that Xiao Xiao moved his teacup.

All his attention was focused on connecting his previously disconnected thoughts.

……

"what!"

The boy's frown relaxed.

He remembered.

They were saying before... the maple tree in front of them was clearly a normal, seasonal green color, so why did a red maple leaf appear in front of them?

Then the elder brother said...

Because it knows that big brother likes red maple leaves...

At first glance, it sounds like a no-brainer answer.

In fact, they are all problems, okay! ?
first……

This it...

The boy stared at Xiao Xiao with burning eyes.

"You said before that it knew you liked red maple leaves..."

"This it..."

"You mean this maple tree?"

……

The boy held his breath unconsciously.

Clench your hands into fists on your legs.

……

"Correct."

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

The overly natural and self-evident attitude made the boy suspicious.

"Really, really?"

In fact, this is the answer I want to hear the most.

But I really heard...

The boy hesitated.

This person...is he kidding him?
……

"Who do you think it is, then?"

Xiao Xiao asked back.

……

"……I have no idea."

The boy grumbled.

Yes.

Who else could this be other than a maple tree?

Apart from the maple tree, who else can make a maple leaf fly to the person to whom it wants to convey its message?

Is there such a person?

The boy didn't know.

Such a conjecture was beyond his understanding and ability.

Don’t people like that exist only in the human imagination?
Well……

If you put it this way...

The maple tree he was looking for also existed only in human imagination...

The maple trees are still there.

So……

The boy shook his head vigorously.

he does not know……

His head hurt from thinking about it...

……

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

He stopped embarrassing the boy.

"that's it."

He raised his eyes to look at Ling Feng who had appeared on the branch at some point.

The long snow-white hair shines in the sun like ripples on the water.

very beautiful.

It’s also very dreamy.

……

"What you are looking for..."

Xiao Xiao looked at the boy again.

"Is that it?"

……

The boy was stumped again.

But this time it wasn't because he couldn't remember.

But because...

He didn't know why either.

When he heard his older brother ask him...is this what he was looking for...his mind went blank.

I was stunned for a long time.

He slowly came back to his senses.

I also somewhat realized how terrible my performance was.

Maybe……

He just never thought...

It turns out...someone really asked him this question...

For a long time in the past...

Of course, it is still the case now.

He secretly hoped to meet such a person...

When you see him searching around, you can ask him the same way you would ask other people...

Ask him what he is looking for?
Ask him if this is what he is looking for...
……

He has been waiting for that person...

I waited for a long, long time...
