Chapter 360 Retention and Thanks

The child sighed, "Why do you all like to touch my head?"

"You guys ruined my hairstyle."

"You can't touch a man's head or a woman's feet, do you know that?"

"Boom~"

Wen Shaoyang tapped the kid on the head with his finger, "You're just a little brat, and you're still a man?"

The expression on his face was quite amusing, "Where did you learn this from?"

"Watch less clutter."

"What? This is an old saying."

The child said angrily, baring his teeth at his brother and trying hard to look fierce.

"Stinky boy."

Wen Shaoyang tapped the child's head again, "Okay, stop making trouble."

"come over."

Wen Shaoyang took the child's hand and walked to the restaurant, where Xiao Xiao was sitting quietly.

Seeing several people coming over, Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "If you don't come soon, the food will get cold."

"Brother Xiao Xiao!"

The child immediately shook off his brother's hand and ran happily to Xiao Xiao.

The smile on his face was somewhat cute and flattering.

He thought Brother Xiao Xiao was gone.
……

"Xiaoyuan."

The child's closeness made Xiao Xiao's eyes overflow with a bright smile.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the child's head.

……

"Xiao Yuan, come and thank Master Xiao."

Wen Shaoyang pulled the child over and asked him to formally thank Master Xiao.

"Oh."

The child vaguely understood what Master Xiao had done for him, which must have been a great favor, so he did not show any resistance to his brother's words.

He stood obediently in front of Master Xiao, trying to keep his face straight to make himself look serious and dignified. "Master Xiao, thank you."

After hearing his brother call Xiao Xiao Brother, the child inexplicably thought that Master Xiao's way of calling him was very cool, so he started calling him that too.

……

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow in surprise at the child's sudden change in the way he called him, but he didn't take it to heart.

It's just a title.

He patted the kid on the head, "You're welcome."

His expression was serious, but the smile in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

……

The lunch was delicious.

Xiao Xiao was quite satisfied with the meal.

Except for the restless Taotie above his head, which made him twitch his eyes.

This monster had already been allowed to secretly eat some dishes when no one else was around, although it was just a quick taste. Everyone agreed at the time that Taotie would behave himself from now on.

As a result, if Xiao Xiao had not been quick-eyed and quick-handed, the monster would have pounced on the food.

Xiao Xiao knocked on Taotie's forehead as a warning, asking the monster, who only had eyes for the table full of food, to be more restrained.

"Ouch~"

Taotie cried out in dissatisfaction, but finally lay down again unwillingly.

His expression was violent, yet somewhat nonchalant.

"Achuan, Wen Shaoyang, I'm leaving now."

Xiao Xiao thought about it and decided to go first.

The child's recovery obviously prevented Chi Xiuchuan from leaving so early.

However, for him, now that the problem has been solved, he has no reason to stay.

"Master Xiao, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, can you stay?" Wen Shaoyang was shocked to hear that Xiao Xiao was leaving, and hurriedly tried to keep him. If Wen's father and mother knew that he let Master Xiao leave like this, they would definitely blame him.

This person is Xiaoyuan’s great benefactor.

"I've already called my parents. They really want to thank you in person."

"They will be back soon."

"so."

Although he hoped that Master Xiao would stay, Wen Shaoyang would not let his attitude appear aggressive.

They want to thank others, but what does it mean if this gratitude is mixed with other things?
Seeing Master Xiao's calm expression, Wen Shaoyang continued, "Of course, it doesn't matter if Master Xiao has something to do in the afternoon."

"Then I hope we can make an appointment next time when Master Xiao is convenient. We want to thank Master Xiao properly."

"Uncle and aunt, you are too polite."

Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.

"In that case, I'll bother you for a while."

Since he already knew that Father and Mother Wen were on their way back, Xiao Xiao naturally decided to stay.

"That's great, Master Xiao."

Wen Shaoyang smiled heartily.

The Wen family is one of the most prominent families in Yanjing, and they have no shortage of power and money.

He was very fond of Master Xiao, as he had helped their family so much but did not try to repay the favor and was still as lukewarm as when they first met.

It’s not that their family wants to default on their debt, or that it’s only natural that others help them.

The Wen family is not afraid of others approaching with ulterior motives.

On the contrary, they are more afraid of seemingly unsolicited help.

Because this often represents a bigger conspiracy.

However, Master Xiao gave him a different feeling.

He is confident in his judgment of people.

Achuan had introduced Master Xiao's family background to him, and he had also investigated it himself in advance.

After all, he is the one who is treating his brother, so naturally he wants to know everything about him before he can feel at ease.

What's more, he did this without telling Wen's father and mother.

He must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Master Xiao's ordinary background made him more and more suspicious of the level of this master.

There is nothing special about my experiences from childhood to adulthood.

How could such a person be the master that Achuan admires so highly?
No matter how indifferent he is, he will give due face for the sake of their friendship.

Thinking of his initial contempt, Wen Shaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Are all masters so low-key?

Perhaps this is why it is so hard to find a master?

An hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Wen walked into the Wen family's gate.

"Dad, mom."

Wen Shaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. He thought that it would take at least two or three hours for his father and mother to come back.

"Dad, mom."

The child subconsciously hid behind Wen Shaoyang, grabbed the corner of his brother's clothes, with a look of hesitation and a low voice.

The child was still somewhat frightened and confused by the slap from Wen's father and the tears from Wen's mother.

For a moment, he didn't know how to get close to his parents.

"Xiaoyuan."

When Mother Wen saw her youngest son, whom she had loved dearly since birth and who had always been the closest to her and dependent on her, now looking somewhat distant, her heart ached and her eyes became red.

Father Wen naturally saw the hidden fear in his young son's evasive gaze, and deep regret surged in his heart again.

He regretted the moment he gave that slap.

It is not the child’s fault for having hallucinations. The child has no idea what is happening to him, and does not understand why his father, who has always loved and doted on him, suddenly hits him.

The child's confused, hurt and aggrieved look at that time has always lingered in Wen's father's mind.
