Chapter 4045 Try your luck
and……

The old lady's hand moved slightly.

The subtle rustling sound of the candy wrapper in her hand brought the old lady back to her senses.

This little guy...

It feels different to the old lady...

The old lady stared at the little creature with a white background and red stripes.

……

"it……"

The old lady murmured.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

Even if I lose my memory, as long as I remain the same...

What was supposed to happen will still happen.

……

“This is Philip.”

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

"Very cute little guy."

"is it?"

……

"Uh-huh."

The old lady nodded subconsciously in agreement.

A very cute little guy indeed.

Not only cute, but also beautiful.

……

There was a slight rustling sound in the air.

That was the sound of the candy wrapper rubbing in the old lady's hand.

The old lady was in a daze.

As if unaware.

……

"Grandma Thistle."

Xiao Xiao called out several times.

The old lady didn't react at all.

……

Are you not familiar with this name?

Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

I wonder if she is the one being called “Grandma Thistle”…

……

"Grandma Thistle."

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the old lady.

……

The movement in front of her made the old lady's heart jump.

What, what! ?

……

After a few seconds, the old lady's pupils, which had suddenly widened, slowly returned to normal.

It turned out to be this young man...

The old lady was still a little frightened.

Also a little angry.

"what are you doing?"

……

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"Because you haven't responded to my voice."

"excuse me."

……

what……

The young man's good attitude made the old lady feel a little uncomfortable.

Did she speak too harshly just now?
The old lady pursed her lips.

……

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Xiao's question solved the old lady's dilemma between apologizing and not apologizing.

If I apologize...

I always feel like I missed the opportunity.

and……

Is this an overreaction?

It wasn't a big deal...

But no apology...

The old lady was not sure whether her tone of voice had made the young man feel unhappy...

Was the young man displeased with her?

……

The old lady raised her eyes.

There was not the slightest trace of gloom on the young man's face.

Bright and calm from beginning to end.

The slightly curved eyebrows outline a faint, gentle smile.

The restless beating of the heart felt as if it were soaked in warm water.

Very comfortable.

Very stable.

……

What is she...thinking about?
The relieved old lady concentrated on thinking about the young man's question.

But soon, the old lady's brows became more and more furrowed.

What is she thinking about...

The old lady was surprised to find...

she does not know.

how come……

……

"You were looking at Philip."

Xiao Xiao raised his hand and gently rubbed the chin of the little monster with white background and red lines.

"Did Philip remind you of something?"

……

"I……"

The old lady was glad to change the subject, which relieved her from her tangled state.

but……

She thought it was a problem with the "savior"...

It turns out to be a new… tangle.

She didn't know how to answer this question.

……

"I have no idea……"

Finally, the old lady said honestly.

"I……"

“I just feel like it’s a little different…”

As for what's different...

The old lady shook her head.

"But I don't know how it's different..."

……

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"It's ok."

"Tell me when you have the answer."...

The young man's thoughtfulness brought a comfortable smile to the old lady's face.

"Thank you."

……

"……us……"

The old lady couldn't help but speak again.

She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Xiao.

"What are we doing here?"

The old lady has been enduring this problem for a long time.

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

There was not much surprise at the old lady's forgetfulness.

"Let's try our luck."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

"Try your luck?"

The old lady was puzzled.

"What luck?"

……

"Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find Fei."

Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.

……

"Fei?"

The old lady frowned.

This familiar yet strange feeling...

……

"A friend of yours."

Xiao Xiao explained patiently.

……

"I……"

The old lady opened her mouth, "A friend of...?"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

“You’ve been looking for it.”

"We're here to try our luck."

……

Hey?
The old lady's mouth opened even wider.

she does not know….
"my friend?"

The old lady was surprised.

This is the old lady's real reaction.

Why didn't she know this herself?

"that……"

……

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"It's ok."

"If you find your friend, you will remember him as soon as you see him."

……

Hey?
The old lady became more and more confused.

why?
The old lady now knew nothing about her friend whom the young man was talking about.

Why does she always remember... whenever she sees that person?
……

"You'll know then."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"of course."

Xiao Xiao couldn't guarantee that the old lady would be able to see her friend today...

He was also not sure whether the friend the old lady was talking about was the one he guessed?

"As I said just now, we are taking our chances."

"so……"

Xiao Xiao shrugged slightly, "We may not necessarily gain anything today."

“You may not be able to remember anything.”

……

"what?"

The old lady was stunned.

H-I see…

She nodded slowly.

Are they...really here to try their luck?

……

The old lady felt like she was dreaming.

The strange feeling in her hand made her subconsciously let go.

Before she could react to what happened...

……

Xiao Xiao spread his palms in front of the old lady.

Lying on the palm of her hand was…something that looked very familiar to the old lady…

"...Orange candy..."

The old lady murmured.

She looked at her hands.

Just now……

She clasped her palms together.

She had forgotten that she was holding a candy in her hand...

……

"……Thanks."

The old lady smiled apologetically.

"Feel sorry."

This was the candy given to her by the young man in front of her.

Although it was unintentional, her behavior just now was obviously not something that made people feel happy.

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"Here you go."

……

The old lady's fingers curled slightly.

Then she raised her hand and took the candy from the young man's hand.

……

This time, she didn't hold the candy in her palm.

Instead, he directly peeled off the candy wrapper.

Because I held the candy in my hand for too long, it melted a little.

The wrapper stuck slightly to the candy.

The old lady took some effort and carefully tore open the candy wrapper.

……

Candy entrance.

The slightly melted outer layer is particularly sweet.

It’s a bit sweet and cloying.

But the candy underneath this "coating" tastes perfect again.

It tasted just as perfect as the two candies she had eaten before.
