Chapter 687: White Plum Blossoms in Full Bloom

Zhao Luzheng: ...

Second brother, your tone is really asking for a beating.

Even he, a bystander, felt like beating someone up.

Xiao Xiao looked at Zhang Bo, whose forehead veins were bulging, and then looked at Zhuge Yun, who looked like a smug villain. He couldn't bear to watch the "tragedy" that was about to happen.

……

On the afternoon of the 30th, after two classes, Xiao Xiao took a taxi home with the little white fox in his arms.

The driver was a man in his forties with a bright smile. He was very kind and talkative.

……

Xiao Xiao listened quietly to the driver's chatter, responding from time to time.

The time passed quite quickly along the way.

……

When we reached the entrance of the familiar alley, the car stopped quickly and steadily.

"Classmate, is this the place?"

"Ah."

"Thank you."

After Xiao Xiao paid with his mobile phone, he opened the door and got out of the car.

The bright sunshine poured down, Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and saw mottled light and shadow at the entrance of the deep alley in front of him.

The branches and leaves behind the walls on both sides are lush and green, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Occasionally, you can find some colorful flowers. The rich scent of grass in the air has a minty coolness, and there is a faint sweetness in it, which is very pleasant.

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards home.

The moment you walk into the alley, it feels like you have stepped into another world.

In an instant, the noise faded away, leaving behind a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

……

Seeing the familiar gate in front of him, Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Ajiu, Abai, welcome to my home."

"crunch~"

The door was slowly pushed open, revealing a clean and quaint courtyard.

"Please come in."

……

The little white fox raised its head and looked around with interest.

The white snake also stood up, with a hint of curiosity in its eyes.

The home of the law enforcer.

……

Then, almost at the same time, Xiao Xiao and the monsters on his body saw a white plum tree in the corner of the yard.

After all, the white plum blossoms blooming all over the trees at this time are definitely a strange and rare sight.

And, “It’s really beautiful.”

Xiao Xiao sighed with emotion.

The whole white plum tree seemed to be glowing.

On the slender and flexible branches, the delicate and small white plum blossoms seem to be carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade, so white and flawless, yet with a soft and glutinous feeling.

The yellow stamens are light in color.

Only the petals near the pistil have a light pink hue, which is breathtakingly beautiful in the plainness.

However, no matter how beautiful the flower is, it will be eclipsed and become a foil when the person appears in front of you.

Xiao Xiao stopped approaching, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Miss Mei."

……

Mei Nu rushed to Xiao Xiao and bowed.

Then he raised his face with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and the cold air around him dissipated a lot in an instant.

……

"Chirp~"

The pigeon was unable to stop in time and was about to jump into Xiao Xiao's arms when the little white fox slapped it away.

Looking at the pigeon that flew out in an arc, Xiao Xiao: ...

The baby spoon, who was following the pigeon with an expression of dismay on his face, couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and followed the pigeon that was slapped away until it landed on the branch of the paulownia tree.

Yingshao shrank his shoulders. After a rustling sound, the pigeon fell out of the dense tree canopy with a "bang", and landed upside down on the roots of the paulownia tree.

The fungus man on the side was so scared that his feet slipped, and with a dull "thump", he saw the little monster lying on the ground.

The fungus man quickly stood up and was about to take a step, but he misstepped and his left foot tripped over his right foot and he fell down with a thud.

He was lying face down, spread out in a big letter shape, on the roots of a tree.

But the next second, the mushroom man hid behind the mushroom stem at lightning speed, hiding his entire body tightly without revealing a single detail.

Xiao Xiao: ...

……

The pigeon covered its head and sat up, "Chirp~"

Soon, the pigeon flew towards Xiao Xiao with a happy face again.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

It...really thinks so, right? Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, silently stretched out his finger, and accurately pressed it against the forehead of the reckless monster, stopping it from moving forward.

What a little monster who never learns his lesson.

Wasn’t he just knocked away by the little white fox?

He rushed over again without any scruples.

……

"Baa baa~"

"Quack~"

The monkey came over with the frog god on its head.

The two monsters were very happy to see Xiao Xiao, whom they hadn't seen for a while.

……

"猼訑, the frog god."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

His yard is becoming more and more lively.

……

"Xiaoxiao."

When Xiao's mother saw Xiao Xiao, she smiled gently.

"mom."

Xiao Xiao shouted with a smile.

……

Mother Xiao walked slowly to Xiao Xiao's side and looked up at Bai Mei in front of her.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Even though she had seen it many times, when she saw it again, Xiao's mother still felt amazed, "It suddenly bloomed at night a few days ago."

"Your grandmother discovered it by accident when she got up in the middle of the night."

……

"It's clearly past its flowering period."

"I don't know why it bloomed again."

……

"At night, the whole white plum tree seems to be glowing."

"It's particularly magical."

……

"Your grandmother woke us all up to watch."

……

"We stood in the yard almost all night."

Speaking of this, Xiao's mother smiled with some emotion.

I didn’t expect that four people, who are over 200 years old in total, would do such a “weird” thing.

But, “It’s really beautiful.”

Mother Xiao exclaimed in praise again.

……

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao followed his mother's gaze and looked forward, but what he saw was not Bai Mei.

But it is the plum girl sitting on the branch.

……

The wide cuffs hang among the flowers.

The side profile looking over here is so stunning.

It is clearly a posture of lowering eyebrows and eyes to highlight docility, but Mei Nu did it elegantly, with an air of elegance surrounding her body.

……

The faintly revealed icy skin and bones are even more transparent than white plum blossoms.

The eyebrows are like the dark black of distant mountains, clear and distant.

The lines extending from her nose are extremely elegant, and her light-colored lips are the only color, revealing a sense of purity and beauty. Her breath is like the fragrance of plum blossoms, after all, she is a plum girl.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath of the rich plum fragrance that wafted out as soon as I opened the gate to the yard.

It is not greasy, but rather refreshing because of its aroma that has a bit of the cool winter air.

He murmured softly, "It smells good."

……

When Xiao's mother heard Xiao Xiao's whisper, her eyes lit up, "Yes, the fragrance is also very good, isn't it?"

“Sometimes after staying here for a long time and then going to the teahouse in front, guests will smell the plum fragrance on me.”

“Many customers ask me what perfume I use.”

……

Mother Xiao and Xiao Xiao stood in the yard for a while before Mother Xiao came back to her senses. She smiled helplessly and said, "I've been fascinated by this white plum blossom every time I look at it these past few days."

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, go back to the house and have a rest. Dinner will be served soon."
