Chapter 4159 The Third Time

The scene now returned to the beginning.

Xiao Xiao stood at the foot of the wall.

Look up.

Zhu Gan stood on the wall.

Look down.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He raised his hand and waved it gently.

"Zhu Gan."

"Goodbye."

……

Xiao Xiao turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

As we got closer to the entrance of the alley, the light around us became brighter and brighter.

Xiao Xiao turned his head.

Some of the white flowers are still visible.

The monster under the white flowers...

Has disappeared.

.....
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

Take a step forward.

He left the alley.

……

"Ouch~"

The little Taotie screamed above Xiao Xiao’s head.

……

Xiao Xiao slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

Little Taotie is lazy towards others.

The only time I'm most active is when it comes to eating.

Such as now.

It's time to eat.

Before he realized the problem, little Taotie had already started urging him.

……

After spending a not-too-long, not-too-short time with humans, Little Taotie has become quite familiar with some of human habits.

such as……

Humans eat at fixed time periods.

If you don't eat, your stomach will growl.

.....
"understood."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.

This guy……

I'm afraid that no matter what happens, the focus will be on eating.

……

Xiao Xiao randomly picked a nearby restaurant based on his liking.

He asked for a private room.

Even though I'm used to covering for the little monsters, the box is still more convenient.

It is also easier for the little monsters to eat.

……

Xiao Xiao left the restaurant under the surprised gaze of the waiter behind him.

He vaguely heard the waiter's whispers behind him.

“I ate it all…”

"so amazing……"

"I'm alone..."

“He doesn’t look fat.”

"so envious."

“I don’t get fat even if I eat so much…”

"Hey, isn't the point that how can he eat so much when he's so skinny?"

"His digestive function is too strong..."

……

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

After walking for a few minutes -
He planned to walk for a while and then see whether he should take a taxi back to school.

It can also be considered as a way to help digestion after a meal.

……

Ok?
He was slightly startled.

here……

He looked up.

Soon, realization showed on his face.

Oh.

It's here.

……

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth rose slightly.

This is where he stumbled upon last time-
Well.

To say he stumbled upon it is not accurate.

It was the location of the grocery store that he heard by chance... and he specifically asked the other party about it.

There was a pot of Epiphyllum on the shelf at the entrance of the grocery store.

I went there at a bad time last time.

It is not yet time for the night-blooming cereus to bloom.

The timing was still wrong this time.

It is still not time for the Epiphyllum to bloom.

But he thought, since we were already nearby...

Xiao Xiao changed direction.

Then let's go and have a look on the way.

.....
Xiao Xiao followed the direction he remembered and quickly found the location of the grocery store.

He couldn't help but wonder why he didn't know there was a grocery store here until so late...

However, the location of this grocery store is a bit remote.

Plus the cover of the shelves at the door.

It is easy to be misunderstood.

It makes people think that this store has not officially opened yet.

……

Xiao Xiao bent down and approached the pot of Epiphyllum on the shelf.

The green leaves are very lush.

Looks to be in good condition.

After a while, beautiful night-blooming cereus should bloom.

It should be very beautiful by then.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

……

Ok?
Xiao Xiao tilted his head as if he realized something.

I just happened to see the grocery store door being pushed open.

Out of it came a...
Xiao Xiao lowered his head.

a little girl.

A familiar little girl.

……

"Nannah."

Xiao Xiao called softly.

But it still scared the little girl.

The little girl's hand shrank subconsciously...

The door lost its thrust and moved towards the little girl...
……

Xiao Xiao held the door with his hand. He lowered his eyes and smiled at the little girl.

"Don't you remember me?"

……

The little girl raised her face with a look of confusion at first.

But soon, the little girl's eyes lit up.

"Big brother!"

The little girl cried crisply.

……

"Come out first."

Xiao Xiao motioned for the little girl to come out of the store.

……

Only then did the little girl notice the way the older brother was leaning against the door.

She nodded hastily.

He trotted out of the store.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his hand.

The door of the grocery store slowly closed.

……

Xiao Xiao walked a few steps to the side.

The little girl followed.

Xiao Xiao looked around.

Soon, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"Nannah."

He crouched down.

The difference in eye level between you and your child should not be too great.

……

"Remember me?"

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

"Remember~"

The little girl grinned.

……

Xiao Diao smiled.

Just remember it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the child if he regards him as a bad guy and becomes wary of him.

He also had to dispel the child's doubts about him first.

……

"Where are your parents?"

Xiao Xiao asked the question that immediately came to his mind when he saw the child.

He looked around.

I didn't see the child's father, mother, or uncle.

The only place he might have missed...

Is your child's family in the grocery store?

……

The child's face froze.

She twirled her fingers.

Visible panic... and guilty conscience.

……

well.

It appeared the child’s family was not in the grocery store either.

Xiao Xiao felt helpless and a little amused.

This was the third time he had encountered this kid acting on his own...

……

"He ran away alone?"

Xiao Xiao didn't beat around the bush with the child.

of course.

If you are too euphemistic, the child may not understand.

……

The child dropped his eyes.

The fingers twisted the other finger harder and harder.

……

It seems he was right.

"Why did another person run out?"

Xiao Xiao tilted his head and looked at the child with drooping eyes.

"I thought mom and dad had told you a lot..."

"Did you tell your parents about coming out this time?"

……

The child did not respond immediately.

After a few seconds, the child shook his head.

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Didn't mom and dad tell you?"

"Always tell mom and dad where you're going."

"You can't just leave without saying anything."

"Mom and Dad will be worried."

……

The child pursed his lips.

"I...I'll just come out for a while..."

"Mom is chatting with Auntie..."

"I'll be back soon."

……

"Is mom nearby?"

Xiao Xiao grasped the key point.

……

"Ah."

The child nodded.

"Mom brought me here for ice cream."

"Mom met a familiar aunt."

“They are chatting.”

"I suddenly have a stomachache."

The child held his stomach.

"I came out to use the toilet."

“…I want to go back to the ice cream shop.”

“But it seems like we’re going in the wrong direction.”

"I saw the grocery store here and wanted to come and see the epiphyllum."

"I'll run over here."

“The night-blooming cereus has not bloomed.”

There was disappointment in the child's voice.

……

"I'm going to the store..."

There was hesitation on the child's face.

She also prepared herself mentally before entering the grocery store.
