Chapter 738 Surprise?

"I could see her before."

Uncle Xu was very confused.

He had been with her for so many years, he could always see her.

How come he suddenly disappeared?
too weird.

It's too confusing.

"That's probably what the old people said. Your fate with it is over."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

Seeing Uncle Xu's puzzled and unwilling to believe expression, he didn't say anything else.

Because that's the truth.

"Is that so?"

Uncle Xu finally gave up and withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself, with a look of dejection between his brows.

In fact, he had a little expectation in his heart before.

He was looking forward to Master Xiao allowing him to see her again.

I have been thinking about him/her for so many years and waiting for him/her for so many years, but in the end I can't even see what the other person looks like?
During the long wait, he was curious about how she would change.
But thinking about the fact that the other person hadn't changed at all during the past ten years of their relationship, he wondered if his little sister was still the same as he remembered?
It's just that it's been too long since we last met.

Even though he was always reminiscing, he had to discover with some panic that her appearance was gradually becoming blurred in his memory.

So, he wanted to see her again before he completely forgot what she looked like.

After meeting him this time, he will probably never forget it in his life.

"Can't you?"

Uncle Xu sighed dejectedly.

But after all, he was no longer the boy who panicked when he suddenly found that she was missing.

He is mature enough to face such consequences.

……

Moreover, this result was countless times better than he had expected in the past.

At least, he knew a lot of facts that he thought he would never know.

For example, she was fine and didn't have any accident as he had worried.

She didn't leave without saying goodbye.

She was always there, but he just couldn't see her.

……

His friendship with her never faded.

He waited for her for so many years.

She also watched him wait for her for so many years.

……

That would be nice, wouldn't it?

……

As long as he thought that he was not the only one waiting under the maple tree for so many years, and that she had always been there, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

……

"She's fine, isn't she?"

Uncle Xu couldn't help but confirm.

……

"Yeah, it's good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

……

"That's fine, that's fine."

Uncle Xu finally smiled with relief.

That's it.

The misunderstanding between him and her was neither his fault nor hers.

Just because he is a human and she is a monster.

And he never saw her again from that day on.

He was the one who "lost" her.

……

He is doing fine now too.

Knowing that she was fine, he was completely relieved.

……

"uncle."

Xu Zizhen looked at Uncle Xu with some concern.

……

"I am fine."

Uncle Xu smiled gently and shrugged helplessly, "After all, this is something we can't help."

……

Uncle Xu's tone was brisk, but it caused the box to fall into silence.

……

"Buzz~"

The quiet box allows the vibration of the mobile phone to be heard clearly.

Everyone seemed a little startled and subconsciously looked at their phones.

……

"Sorry, it's my phone."

Uncle Xu took out his cell phone from his pocket. After a moment of surprise, he looked a little helpless. "It's Lao Wang."

"Since he knew I was coming to see Master Xiao yesterday, he has been concerned about my progress."

……

"Speaking of which-"

Uncle Xu suddenly looked at Xiao Xiao and laughed. Xiao Xiao:?
"Lao Wang said he had called Master Xiao several times, trying to invite him out for dinner."

“But those calls—”

"Master Xiao didn't answer any of them."

……

“Pfft~Haha~”

Zhang Bo and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Old Third won't answer any calls he sees are from unfamiliar numbers."

"I used to answer strange phone calls that had been called several times."

"But after receiving several marketing calls, my third brother would not answer even if the other party called him for a week in a row."

……

"Haha~"

Uncle Xu and Xu Zizhen couldn't help but laugh.

……

Xiao Xiao: ...

……

The phone rang a few times and then hung up.

Uncle Xu glanced at his darkened phone calmly and said, "I'll call him back later."

"He must want to know about Master Xiao's situation."

"He bothered me all night yesterday. Now I'll just have to ask him to wait."

……

There were smiles on everyone's faces.
……

"Buzz~"

Xiao Xiao took out his cell phone and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.

……

"Master Xiao, this is my number."

"I hope the next time I call it won't be treated as a spam call."

Uncle Xu shook the phone in his hand slightly and said with a smile.

……

"Uncle, goodbye."

"Uncle Xu, goodbye."

At the restaurant entrance, everyone waved goodbye to Xu Qingzhu.

……

"Well, bye everyone."

Uncle Xu looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Master Xiao, thank you so much this time."

"You can call me anytime if you need anything."

……

"Uncle Xu-"

When everyone was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Xiao shouted.

Uncle Xu:?

"Master Xiao, what's the matter?"

……

"Did you go to the maple tree in the quadrangle this morning?"

Xiao Xiao's question made Uncle Xu shake his head in surprise, "No."

"Because I was confused, I stayed at home for the whole morning and then came here."

……

"Then find some time to go and have a look."

Uncle Xu’s answer did not surprise Xiao Xiao.

Because, he thought, if Uncle Xu had gone to see the maple tree, the other party would not be so calm, and would not have not mentioned a word at the dinner table before.

Xiao Xiao smiled, with a hint of mystery in his tone, "Maybe there will be a surprise."

……

surprise?

Uncle Xu was stunned. Just when he wanted to ask Master Xiao for more details, he found that Master Xiao had turned and left.

He closed his slightly open mouth.

……

Surprise.

Since Master Xiao said it was a surprise, then it must be a surprise.

But, I don’t know what the surprise is?
……

Uncle Xu suddenly made a decision: let’s go to the courtyard next.

Go and see what Master Xiao’s so-called surprise is?
……

Could it be... that he could see her?
But Master Xiao had clearly rejected his request before.

He also accepted that he would never see her again.

……

Could it be... this surprise?

……

Uncle Xu's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He was a little impatient.

……

"Buzz~"

The vibration of the phone interrupted his increasingly excited mood due to possible speculation.

He took a deep breath and calmed his overly rapid heartbeat.
