Chapter 4050 Grapes and Apples

If so……

The old lady's whole body was tense.

She even vaguely felt a soft groan coming from her bones.

……

绯？
Zhu Gan's gaze drifted casually to the side.

It wasn't looking at the old lady.

If Lord Xiao Xiao had not been here, it would have turned and left after this human asked the first incomprehensible question.

However, this human is with Lord Xiao Xiao.

Lord Xiao Xiao stopped it for her sake.

So……

Sir Xiao Xiao’s meaning is very clear.

I just hope it can answer this human question.

only……

It really doesn't know about this human problem.

It does not remember this human.

I have no idea of ​​this human's name.

but……

Zhu Gan's eyes swept across the old lady's face.

Scarlet...

This name actually feels somewhat familiar...

……

of course.

This doesn't really explain anything.

Its familiarity is not necessarily the familiarity that this human being wants.

……

"Do you remember?"

The old lady asked again with some caution.

……

Zhu Gan looked at Lord Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Just tell the truth."

……

Zhu Gan shook his head.

It feels somewhat familiar.

But only some.

……

The light in the old lady's eyes dimmed.

But it didn't go out completely.

Instead, it is like a candle in the wind, flickering a faint light.

“I don’t remember…”

really……

Its name is something like...

It's just wishful thinking...

……

"Can't you remember anything at all?"

The old lady murmured.

"Look at me—"

The old lady paused.

She realized it later, "...Oh..."

“I’m getting older.”

The old lady touched her face gently.

No longer as smooth as it was when I was young.

Instead, it has a rough matte feel.

To put it bluntly, it's like old tree bark.

……

The old lady smiled bitterly.

"...You don't recognize me anymore?"

She meant that Fei only remembered what she looked like back then.

But I can't recognize her appearance when she gets older.

If this is the case...

The old lady felt that she seemed to feel better.

She can fool herself -
It doesn't have to be self-deception...

Fei did not forget her.

But in Fei's memory, she has always looked the same as she did back then.

Instead of the gray hair he has now.

……

The old lady touched her head.

Look of loss.

She can't help getting older...

She couldn't help but look at the young man.

“Is my hair completely white?”

……

Looking at the old lady's black hair, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Do not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"Your hair is black."

……

"what?"

The old lady was surprised and confused.

"Not white?"

……

"You probably dyed your hair."

Xiao Xiao quickly guessed the reason.

This is consistent with the old lady's elegant attire.

The old lady is full of details.

How come the hair is missing?
……

Oh ~
The old lady suddenly realized.

She dyed her hair.

That….
The look of surprise on her face froze.

So what if I dye my hair...

Her hands went to her face again.

Her appearance had changed after all.

……

and many more!

The old lady covered her face.

Only one pair of eyes was exposed.

She looked at Fei.

There was a hint of cautious hope in his eyes.

"how about this?"

"Does it feel familiar?"

……

Zhu Gan: ...

Is this person a fool?

Zhu Gan shook his head slightly. Humans always do things that make him feel puzzled.

For example, the human in front of you.

Does this behavior make sense?

The attention it paid to any one human being...was not enough for it to recognize that person simply by looking at their eyes.

Oh, except Lord Xiao Xiao.

It thought that it might be able to recognize Lord Xiao Xiao's eyes.

But others…

Zhu Gan snorted.

……

Vaguely feeling Fei's contempt, the old lady lowered her eyes with a wry smile.

She also had a sudden idea...

……

Also.

No matter how hard she tries...

There is no way to turn myself back into who I used to be...

……

The old lady did not put down her hands that were covering her face.

She was worried that she looked too embarrassed at the moment.

She covered her face more and more tightly.

There was a burning sensation on my fingers.

Ok?
The old lady was startled.

This is……

……

"Grandma Thistle."

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand.

Lying in the palm of her hand were two candies wrapped in shiny wrappers that the old lady was very familiar with.

Different from the orange and pink candies she had given her before.

This time the two candies are purple and cyan.

……

“There are no more orange and strawberry flavored candies.”

Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“It’s grape and apple flavored.”

"Which one do you like?"

……

The old lady came to her senses.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This young man...is treating her like a child.

Although I feel bad...

but……

The old lady took a deep breath.

She did feel better...

……

"Thank you, thank you."

The old lady's voice was muffled because she was still covering her face.

……

The old lady lowered her head further and further.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and her face as inconspicuously as possible.

She closed her eyes.

After some efforts to "mend the situation", the old lady put down one hand.

The other hand was still trying to cover his entire face.

……

The old lady didn't hesitate.

She chose apple-flavored candy.

……

After she put the candy in her mouth and covered her face with her hands again, the fresh apple fragrance in her mouth and the dim light in front of her eyes made the old lady feel relaxed.

This candy is so delicious.

Every flavor is delicious.

The old lady was hesitating whether to ask the young man...

What brand is this candy?
Where did you buy it?
……

Xiao Xiao extended his hand to Zhu Gan again.

“Grape-flavored candy.”

"Taste it?"

“Very delicious.”

……

Zhu Qian curled his lips.

Despite this, it still took a few steps forward.

It bowed its head.

The next second, it took a step back.

But Xiao Xiao's palm was empty.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his hand.

……

The aroma of grapes filled Zhugan's mouth.

There's a long-lost taste of grape-flavored candy.

Travel through time……

The old, yellowed pictures seemed to have suddenly been recolored and come alive...

……

Zhu Gan's eyes became somewhat strange.

……

"what happened?"

Xiao Xiao keenly noticed Zhu Qian's changes.

"Remember something?"

……

The old lady's ears suddenly pricked up.

what?
She secretly looked at Fei through her fingers.

Scarlet...

I remembered?

Do you remember her?
Soon, the old lady felt discouraged again.

Don't hope.

You won't be disappointed.

unexpectedly……

……

Zhu Qian nodded.

It will not lie to Lord Xiao Xiao.

no need.

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

It really is……

"What is it?"

……

Zhu Gan glanced at the old lady.

It just so happened that the old lady was also looking at Zhu Gan.
