Chapter 729 It's Here

This kid told his friends about his story, and now he brought them to him to verify it?

and then?
What is he going to do?
He said to the children with a smile, yes, he still remembered the girl who had accompanied him for a long time?
That memory was the one he cherished the most. Even if everyone denied it, he still insisted on it almost stubbornly, insisting on its truth.

He no longer expects others to understand him, but he cannot tolerate anyone's contempt.

He is not a tourist attraction in a scenic area, and others can speculate about his story.

Let them sigh in admiration and leave a mark of their visit.

The aura around Uncle Xu was no longer as gentle as it was at the beginning, but instead revealed a bit of suppressed solemnity.

"uncle?"

Xu Zizhen murmured, wondering why his uncle suddenly seemed angry?

Is it because he asked about that young lady?
Or did his words make his uncle feel that he doubted his uncle's persistence?

"I'm not"

He stammered, but was anxiously and helplessly aware of his poor eloquence.

Obviously, he is good at speaking, and he can recite long paragraphs of legal provisions.
Zhang Bo and his companions were also at a loss.

The first time I visited a friend's house, I seemed to have angered the other party's elders as soon as we met. They had never had such an experience before.

Xiao Xiao was stunned. After replaying the previous scenes in his mind, especially the change in Uncle Xu's expression, he discovered the problem.

"Uncle Xu."

Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke up, breaking the somewhat silent and stiff atmosphere, "The reason why Xu Zizhen brought us here-"

He looked at the middle-aged man whose eyes were slightly fluctuating, and said in a light tone but with an inexplicable certainty, "Because I said I can help you find that young lady."

Uncle Xu was stunned again.

After a moment of blankness on his face, huge waves rose in his eyes.

His lips trembled slightly and he wanted to say something but no sound came out.

He knew the meaning of every word the child was saying.

But when they put it all together, he actually didn't understand the meaning of that sentence?

For the first time, someone not only did not question his memory, but also told him so confidently that he could help him find the young lady he had been waiting for so many years.

It’s not about helping him find it, but about being able to help him find it.

Is this a joke?
"Yes, uncle."

Xu Zizhen looked at Xiao Xiao with some gratitude, then turned to explain to his uncle: "This is Xiao Xiao."

"Because he said he might be able to help my uncle, so I brought him here."

"His friends helped me persuade him to come."

Xu Zizhen glanced at Zhuge Yun, Zhang Bo, and Zhao Luzheng one by one.

Looking at his uncle who was stunned by the unexpected development of the "plot", Xu Zizhen paused and continued, "Uncle, I'm sorry."

Xu Zizhen's sudden apology made Uncle Xu subconsciously look at the other party with a puzzled expression on his face.

"When I was a kid, I clearly said I would help you find a little sister."

Xu Zizhen smiled bitterly, "I forgot it when I grew up."

"I clearly promised you."

“But he broke his promise.”

"But now, I remember my promise."

Xu Zizhen smiled with some sincerity, "Xiao Xiao said he can help you."

"I want to believe him."

"I hope I can help you, uncle."

The slight anger in Uncle Xu's heart had dissipated as soon as Xiao Xiao started to explain.

Now, hearing Xu Zizhen's words, his heart seemed to be filled with endless warmth, which instantly flowed through every part of his body.

"Silly boy."

The man laughed and sighed, "No need to apologize to me."

The words that the little child said to him at that time really brought him great comfort.

It was just a choice made without any expectations, but the child gave him such good feedback.

Flowers bloomed in his heart. Even if the child forgot what he had said and the promise he had made when he grew up.

He thought it was better this way.

His memory and waiting do not need to bind more people.

He was very happy that the child had once had this heart.

"Can you really help me find her?"

In order to live up to the kindness of his nephew who took so much trouble for him, Uncle Xu still asked what was on his mind even though he had no expectations.

Xiao Xiao looked up at the maple tree not far away.

He met the youkai's gaze as it moved away from the middle-aged man.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, then looked at Uncle Xu, whose nervous expression was still visible even though he was trying hard to suppress it.

“I’ve found it”

".What?!"

Uncle Xu's voice was extremely low and hoarse, and his tone was dreamy, without any sharpness.

He was so surprised that he was in a trance.

Xu Zizhen also shouted out.

He was willing to believe Xiao Xiao, but he just wanted to believe it.

But he didn't expect that the other party gave him such a big surprise.

Zhuge Yun became more and more certain of the flash of inspiration that had just occurred to him.

He recalled the scene when the youngest brother suddenly called out, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at Zhao Luzheng and smiled at him in tacit understanding.

"Eh? What what?"

Zhang Bo looked at Zhao Luzheng on the left and Zhuge Yun on the right, and was very curious about the sudden tacit understanding between the two.

"Don't just keep this to yourselves."

"nothing."

Zhuge Yun shook his head.

Zhao Luzheng's gaze was fixed on Uncle Xu again.

I glanced at Xiao Xiao by chance.

"Xiao Xiao, where is she?"

Xu Zizhen looked around anxiously. How many places could the girl hide?
Unfortunately, no matter how many times I scanned, I still found nothing.

"Student Xiao Xiao-"

Uncle Xu regained some composure. He looked at Xiao Xiao, his serious eyes revealing a great sense of oppression.

Xiao Xiao met Uncle Xu's gaze head-on without dodging.

There is no outward self-confidence, nor any guilty conscience. Such a natural and calm posture reveals an unspeakable sense of self-righteousness.

Uncle Xu suddenly began to believe it a little.

There is a hint of anticipation emanating from the bottom of my heart.

"where is she?"

Everyone present stared intently at Xiao Xiao's expression, not missing even the slightest change.

"It's here."

Xiao Xiao's plain words were like a cannonball exploding in the ears of Uncle Xu and Xu Zizhen.

“It’s on that maple tree.”

Zhang Bo and the others didn't react much.

They looked at the maple tree with wide eyes, and all they saw were green maple leaves.

As expected, nothing was gained.

Of course, I can't say I'm too disappointed.

Although there is still a little bit of loss.
