Chapter 726 Believe
But the uncle, who was not understood, no longer tried to speak out.

Also learned to cover up.

But the figure that appeared from time to time under the red maple leaves in the courtyard clearly showed that the thought of my uncle had never disappeared or even been forgotten.

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but sigh again and murmured in a low voice, "I wish it was really a monster."

……

"Ok?"

Zhuge Yun, who realized that he had said something but did not hear it clearly, made a puzzled sound.

……

"The young lady that uncle met-"

Xu Zizhen raised his head and smiled at the few people, "I hope it really is a monster."

……

Ok?
Everyone didn't understand what Xu Zizhen meant by this at once, and looked at him blankly.

After the initial shock, Xiao Xiao finally understood a little.

……

"This way, uncle's memories will always be true."

Xu Zizhen lowered his eyes to look at the teacup in front of him, stroking the wall of the cup with his fingers. The cool touch passed from his fingertips to his brain, making his thoughts clearer.

Unlike what other family members said, those beautiful memories cherished by my uncle were just his imagination.

"Uncle's long wait is not in vain."

There is indeed such a young lady in the world.

She stayed with her uncle for a long time.

But one day, I suddenly left my uncle.

……

If everything is false, then uncle...isn't he too pitiful?
……

"Maybe one day, that little girl will remember her former playmate and her uncle."

Xu Zizhen suddenly smiled brightly, "By then, uncle will be able to see the little sister he has been thinking about for so many years."

……

After a few moments of silence, Zhuge Yun, Zhang Bo, and Zhao Luzheng all laughed.

"Will do."

"Your uncle will surely get what he wants."

……

Although they were saying words to comfort Xu Zizhen, Zhuge Yun and the others couldn't help but turn their eyes to Xiao Xiao.

……

They are not girls and are not that "sentimental".

However, Uncle Xu Zizhen's story still touched and moved them.

More than ten years of companionship and decades of waiting.

If possible, they really hope that the uncle can meet their former playmate, the little sister, again.

Moreover, they also admired the uncle a little bit.

Even though everyone denied him, he still insisted on his own ideas until now.

……

"The food is here."

Seeing the waiter approaching, Xiao Xiao closed his mouth as he was about to say something, and then opened his mouth again to invite everyone to eat, "Let's eat first."

……

After a meal that was not very lively, Xu Zizhen looked at everyone and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Sorry, did I affect your appetite?"

"correct."

Zhuge Yun shrugged and jokingly replied, "As long as they are men, they will affect our appetite."

"If you bring a girl here, we will all have a good appetite because of her beauty."

……

"Second brother, that's you, don't involve us."

Zhang Bo said sternly, "Do you think everyone is like you, valuing women over friendship?"

"Seconded."

Zhao Luzheng stood firmly beside Zhang Bo.

……

Zhuge Yun: ...

"Brothers, can you please have some shame?"

"Do you dare to say this with your conscience?"

……

Zhang Bo faced Zhuge Yun's scorching gaze and pulled Xiao Xiao over to him, "What? Are you still suspicious of the Third Brother?"

"As for the level of the Third Brother, you will never reach it in your lifetime."

Being unmoved in the face of a national treasure and a beautiful woman, this is what a true warrior does.

… “I mean you guys.”

"I didn't mention the third brother."

"Don't fool around with the third brother."

Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes.

……

"I'm going this way."

Xu Zizhen suddenly spoke out.

……

Zhuge Yun and the others had a quarrel with each other.

They looked at each other and then at Xiao Xiao.

Then he looked at Xu Zizhen with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself.

……

"It seems like you have something to say to me since we were in the classroom?"

Xu Zizhen had noticed the expressions on the faces of those people before.

It's just that he thought he probably knew what they were thinking.

Maybe they had some opinion about his uncle's story but were too embarrassed to say it to his face?

……

He knows.

The uncle's story is very plot-based.

My uncle is more like the tragic protagonist in a tragic novel.

……

However, sometimes facts cannot be swayed by emotions.

……

Just now on the road, he was also thinking, he believed his uncle, because he really believed everything his uncle said, or just because he was his uncle?

Was his belief just to avoid upsetting his uncle?
Does he feel some sympathy for his uncle?
……

With this thought in mind, he was more inclined to believe that it was the fact rather than believing it.

……

His belief seems perfunctory, doesn't it?

A hint of bitterness seeped out from the corners of Xu Zizhen's slightly raised mouth.

……

Knowing why Zhuge Yun and the others were hesitating, Xu Zizhen didn't want to ask.

He thought he would be unhappy if he heard others question his uncle's story.

Maybe he will still be angry.

……

However, it was his wishful thinking that had caused him to say so many irrelevant things to Zhuge Yun and the others, who were just strangers before today.

No one is allowed to comment on this...

No matter how I think about it, I feel that I am being too unreasonable.

……

No matter what others said, Xu Zizhen wanted to believe that everything his uncle told him was true.

He doesn't know if what he is doing is right?

However, he had seen too many things the adults in his family did for his uncle, supposedly for his uncle's own good.

Denying his uncle's memory, worrying about his uncle's abnormality, and looking at him with strange eyes.

He even told the young boy not to get too close to his uncle.

In their eyes, the uncle became a pitiful and terrible guy because of the little sister whose existence was denied.

……

Although this happened a long time ago.

Since their uncle got married, they all felt that he had returned to normal.

So many years have passed, and they have almost forgotten what their uncle once said.

……

Since so many people have already opposed it.

Well, it doesn't matter if he's on his uncle's side, even if he's wrong, right?

Xu Zizhen suddenly wanted to see his uncle.
He wanted to tell his uncle that he really wanted to hear about his past with his little sister again.

He had plenty of time to listen to his uncle recount his memories of the past decade.

This time, he would tell his uncle just like he did at the beginning that he thought his uncle would definitely see that young lady again.

And he will also help his uncle find that young lady.

This time, he won't break his promise again.
