Chapter 732 The maple leaves are red
However, Xu Zizhen could see the man’s bloodshot eyes through the gaps between his fingers as he covered his face.

"uncle-"

Xu Zizhen hesitated to speak, not knowing what he should say at this moment.

"Haha, your great-grandmother clearly told me everything."

Uncle Xu seemed to have not heard Xu Zizhen's voice at all, and continued to talk to himself: "He said that my fate with her was over and asked me not to force it."

"I didn't listen and insisted on it for so many years."

"result."

He lowered his head and slightly closed his eyes. His voice was light and trembling, "Is this just a one-man show for me?"

Because the volume was too low, only Xiao Xiao heard this sentence besides Uncle Xu himself.

"no."

Xiao Xiao looked at the middle-aged man who was still looking down but whose body was obviously stiff. "It hasn't left yet."

“It’s always been here.”

"It stays with you every time you wait."

"It's not that it doesn't want to come out to see you."

"It's that it comes out and you can't see it."

Hearing this, Uncle Xu couldn't help but look up and looked at Xiao Xiao with red eyes.

"is that true?"

Is she also missing him like him?

Her absence was not intentional, but she had no choice?

So, his efforts were rewarded, right?
Isn't it just his own directing and acting?
"Yes."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"It's right here? In this maple tree?"

Uncle Xu looked up at the dense maple leaves above.

Through the gaps between the branches and leaves he saw the clear blue sky.

Big white clouds float above it.

It's so bright that it's blinding.

Even though I got nothing as expected, the feeling of shattered expectations was still not pleasant.

He sighed silently.

Is it so close yet I can’t see it?
But he still had some doubts.

"Really? Is she really on this maple tree?"

he asked again.

Because we can't see, we always have hope.

I hope it's not that he can't see it, but that she is not there.

He had waited for so many years, and all he wanted was to see the other person again.

This is not the result he wants.

"Zizhen-"

Uncle Xu suddenly looked at his nephew and said, "Didn't you guys agree on that?"

Was this scene specially performed for him?
Even though I know it's well-intentioned.

But if that were the case, he thought, he would be angry.

In order not to worry his relatives, he has tried his best to make all the concessions he can.

But why should he destroy his last bit of hope?
It was obvious that he didn't do anything else except staying under the maple tree on weekends.

"no."

Xu Zizhen waved his hands repeatedly, looking anxious, "Uncle, we didn't agree on this in advance."

"Uncle, I just want to help you."

Xu Zizhen's voice faded away.

There was a look of helplessness in his eyes.

It seems like he meant well but did something bad?

Even though uncle has been coming to Fengshu all the time, he has actually almost let it go, right?

He has his own family.

He has his own children.

He could no longer focus his life on waiting as he had before.

I continue to come here out of habit and as the last bit of thought.

But his actions today seemed to have evoked his uncle's past memories, causing huge waves in his uncle's gradually calm heart?

Xiao Xiao looked up at Ling Feng who had been looking at Uncle Xu. As if noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, Ling Feng turned around and looked over.

The monster remained calm even though Xiao Xiao could see it.

The white eyes were long and narrow, revealing a sense of distance and indifference.

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and spoke softly, almost silently, "Aren't you going to do something?"

Ling Feng looked at Xiao Xiao silently for a while, then looked at the child who always came to play with him before.

The next second, the green maple leaves on the tree turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah~"

Zhuge Yun exclaimed in surprise, and the sudden and sharp voice startled everyone.

"Are you calling for souls, second brother?"

Zhang Bo said unhappily.

"No, look!"

Zhuge Yun was speechless and pointed at the maple leaves above with trembling fingers.

The puzzled crowd looked upwards.

Then, their puzzled expressions froze, and a look of horror quickly spread across their faces.

"Maple, the maple leaves are turning red?!"

Zhao Luzheng's eyes were about to pop out.

Zhang Bo took advantage of his height to pull a branch and take a closer look at the maple leaves on it.

He rubbed the red maple leaves vigorously with his fingers a few times and murmured, "It's really turned red."

Xu Zizhen was speechless.

He couldn't help but reach out and pinch his arm hard.

While grinning, he made sure that he was not dreaming.

The originally green maple leaves really turned red!

Uncle Xu was stunned and slowly walked forward.

Until my hands touched the slightly cool trunk of the maple tree.

The hard touch made him realize that what he saw was real.

这 是
"This is her response to you."

Xiao Xiao walked to Uncle Xu's side, looked at the tree full of red maple leaves and said in a calm voice.

He also didn't expect Ling Feng to do this?

After a little surprise, there was some emotion.

It still has some feelings for Uncle Xu, right?

"Really, really?"

"Is this her response to me?"

Uncle Xu's hands on the tree trunk began to tremble. His surprise and shock at the magical scene before him were diluted by Xiao Xiao's words.

Instead, all the memories about that girl surged violently in his mind.

The excitement and joy almost made his whole body tremble slightly.

The maple leaves on the tree swayed in the wind, making pleasant sounds of collision, as if they were telling something.

The gorgeous bright red color dazzled everyone's eyes.

Xiao Xiao gestured to the others and then slowly walked away.

He thought that Uncle Xu needed some time alone with his little sister.

The others took a last look at the red maple tree with some regret, and followed Xiao Xiao out of the area covered by the maple tree.

Everyone stood under a big tree at a certain distance from the maple tree, looking at the red maple and the figures below.

No one said anything.

Even though they were at a distance, the shock they felt before still remained in their hearts.

They didn't want to make a sound and disrupt the mood, nor did they want to disturb Uncle Xu.

In a sense, Uncle Xu got what he wanted.

A reunion after decades.

Moreover, in this dreamy way, could it make up for the boredom and hopelessness of this man during the long waiting time?

The man had his back to them and they couldn't see his expression.

But they knew he was saying something.
