Chapter 3383 Stay Here
"of course."

"Everything is based on Xiao Yan's wishes."

"Twisted melons are not sweet."

"It's also unfair to the person they're dating."

The old lady is very insightful.

"I think I still have some clearer perspective."

"But Xiaoyan's parents are confused by the situation."

"They were angry that Xiao Yan repeatedly rejected the blind dates they arranged."

“They’ve had a lot of clashes over this.”

"even……"

The wrinkles on the old man's face deepened. "Xiao Yan's parents said that if Xiao Yan doesn't find a new girlfriend, they won't let him go home."

"They don't want to see Xiao Yan..."

Having said that, the old lady sighed deeply.

"Xiao Yan is also stubborn."

"If I told him not to go home, he really wouldn't go home."

The old lady shook her head.

"I said, those words are just angry words from parents."

"What parent really wants their child not to come home to visit them?"

"He really did take it seriously."

……

"...Xiao Yan just smiled."

The look in the old lady's eyes was somewhat complicated.

"I know he has his own ideas."

"I treat Xiao Yan like my own child."

"But I can't interfere too much in the problems between Xiao Yan and his parents."

"He doesn't want to talk, so I won't ask."

……

The old lady took a sip of tea.

It felt like... she hadn't said so many words at once in a long time.

"Excuse me."

She smiled apologetically at Xiao Xiao.

"I dragged you to talk about so many things that have nothing to do with you..."

"Are you tired of hearing that?"

……

"will not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

His face was calm.

"Uncle Yan is lucky to have you as his neighbor."

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

But nowadays, there are not many people who can really realize this sentence.

The man was lucky.

There was a neighbor who cared so much about him.

of course.

This is also the blessing the man received for taking care of the elderly in the past.

……

The old lady grinned.

"where……"

"It's that kid who has always taken good care of me."

"It's only right that I pay attention to him."

……

"Uncle Yan is really lucky."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

His eyes shifted slightly.

The Pipa Ghost, who had been standing quietly on the side, came into his sight.

……

Noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, the Pipa Ghost moved his eyes away from the old lady.

It also knows this old lady.

Many times, when the man returned home, the door of the house opposite would happen to be open.

The old lady would not bother the man too much.

Just simply ask the man if he has eaten.
Sometimes the old lady would give the man snacks she made herself.

When the man comes home late, the old lady will nag him a little, asking him to take good care of himself, not to work too hard, to combine work and rest, and not to be too tired...

……

Xiao Xiao smiled again.

He looked at the old lady.

"He will understand your intentions."

He also hopes that the Pipa Ghost can see the child in its memory again.

The child with bright eyes who shared candy with the Pipa Ghost.

……

Sometimes, Xiao Xiao thought that he understood very well why monsters were unwilling to have close friendships with humans.

Years have passed, but the monsters are still the same monsters as before.

Human beings have undergone earth-shaking changes.

From a child to an uncle.

If it wasn't for luck, how could the monster recognize the child from that year?

Even if the monster recognized the child from that year, the child who has grown up will feel strange to the monster.

Because the person in front of it is no longer the same as it remembers.

More than just looks...

The temperament, the feeling...

Everything has changed.

Faced with humans who are so different from the ones they remember, monsters would probably feel a little disappointed, right?
Especially, from the perspective of the monster, time has not actually passed that long...

……

"It's good to understand."

Xiao Xiao's words made the old lady very happy.

She had been waiting for this day.

When Xiao Yan understands the painstaking efforts of those who care about him, and when Xiao Yan steps out of the "cage" he has drawn...

He will find out...

Life can still be beautiful.

……

Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the old man.

The man was still sleeping.

It seems... the man won't wake up until nighttime.

……

"Goodbye, Xiao Xiao." The old lady stood in front of the open door.

"Thank you for sending Xiao Yan back."

"Thank you for being willing to drink tea with an old man like me."

"Thank you."

The old lady's brows relaxed.

The corners of his mouth turned up.

I told this young man about Xiao Yan and my own concerns and thoughts…
The old lady felt a little relieved.

really.

Don't keep many things in your heart.

Talk to someone.

Even if the problem still exists.

You will also feel more comfortable.

……

Many times, talking is not for the purpose of solving problems.

I talk just because I want to talk.

It's that simple.

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"You're welcome."

"Your tea and snacks are delicious."

……

"is it?"

A happy smile suddenly appeared on the old lady's face.

"I like it and will come back next time."

"There is plenty of tea and snacks."

The old lady said in a rather proud tone.

"Don't be polite to me."

"You know, when people get older, they just like to be lively."

"You can come whenever you want."

"I welcome them all."

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"it is good."

"I'm leaving."

"You go in."

Xiao Xiao waved at the old lady.

……

The old lady did not listen to Xiao Xiao and went into the house.

She stood at the door, watching Xiao Xiao's back as he walked down the stairs.

The old lady turned and went back into the house only after she was out of sight.

……

Xiao Xiao stopped when he heard the faint sound of a door closing.

He turned around.

……

The Pipa Ghost who had been following Lord Xiao Xiao silently also stopped.

It looked at Lord Xiao Xiao with some confusion.

what happened?
Why did you stop?
Haven’t reached the first floor yet.

……

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

"I thought you were staying here."

……

The Pipa Ghost was slightly stunned.

Stay here?

Ok.

It nodded.

It is here to stay.

It hasn't seen what it wants to see yet...

……

but……

Lord Xiao Xiao is leaving.

It wants to see Lord Xiao Xiao off.

……

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

That's right.

……

After walking down the last step, Xiao Xiao opened his umbrella.

He took a few steps outside.

Then turn around.

"Pipa Ghost, just send it here."

"I'm leaving."

……

The Pipa Ghost is standing on the stairs.

In the slightly dark corridor, the strings of the pipa flashed a cool light.

……

"goodbye.

Xiao Xiao swallowed the last word.

He stepped aside.

Let the man who was walking hurriedly go into the building.

……

The man put away his umbrella.

He casually glanced at the young man next to him and strode upstairs.

……

The Pipa Ghost moved sideways, imitating what Xiao Xiao had done just now.

……

The sound of the man's footsteps quickly faded away.

……

"Goodbye."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the monster who looked like a young boy wearing a white shirt.

"Pipa ghost."
