Chapter 898 Chi Xiu Ke's Request
The black cat remembers, the tabby cat remembers, and the wild cats will remember too.

The mayfly that is remembered by so many people (cats) has indeed been to this world.

Xiao Xiao smiled, opened the door and entered the yard.

Tianma, who was lying in the corner near the courtyard gate, opened his eyes and looked over as if he sensed something. When he saw it was Xiao Xiao, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Xiao Xiao slowed down his steps.

Everyone in the yard has fallen asleep.

The moonlight fell on the pool, reflecting the sparkling water.

The white plum blossoms rustled without wind, making a slight rustling sound. The flowers, as if carved from white jade, emitted a hazy glow, echoing the bright moon in the sky.

It was as if the moonlight was particularly fond of this courtyard.

……

"Plum girl."

Xiao Xiao called softly, "Good night."

……

The plum girl floating in front of the white plum tree bowed with her head lowered, her long black hair falling down her shoulders.

"Good night, Master Xiao Xiao."

……

When Xiao Xiao walked past the phoenix tree, his steps paused. He tilted his head and looked over. The mushroom man was sleeping soundly on the mushroom.

He looked up at the phoenix tree and could see a pigeon and a baby spoon resting with their heads down among the branches.

Everything is the same as before.

He shook his head and smiled, then walked into the house.

It seemed as if there was wind blowing, and the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree behind him swayed slightly, making a slight rustling sound.

Soon, the yard became quiet.

……

The next day, Xiao Xiao was playing chess with the Frog God under the white plum tree.

……

He was surprised at first that the frog god could play chess.

Later, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was nothing strange about it.

……

The frog god is different from the other monsters in the yard.

It is the monster that has lived with humans the longest.

It is a monster that is called "God" by humans.

It is much closer to humans than other monsters.

It seems only natural, then, that it would know something about humans.

……

Xiao Xiao learned a little chess from his grandfather when he was a child.

It’s just that I don’t play often, so my level is just average.

This time, an old customer of the teahouse happened to give Grandpa Xiao a chess set.

Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Xiao had a few dishes on the stone table under the white plum tree.

……

Then, Xiao Xiao noticed the Frog God who had been squatting quietly and watching intently.

Only then did I know that the Frog God could play chess, and was quite good at it.

……

Xiao Xiao laughed when he thought of the Frog God staring at the chessboard with shining eyes.

"Frog God, let's play chess."

"Quack~"

……

"Xiaoxiao."

Mother Xiao walked towards the white plum tree and said, "Your friend is here to see you."

“…I’m playing chess.”

Mother Xiao looked down at the chessboard.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled apologetically at the Frog God, then stood up and looked at Xiao's mother, "My friend?"

"Well, I'll wait for you in the Snow Lion box on the second floor."

"It's two boys and a cute girl."

Xiao's mother curled her eyes, "They said they couldn't get through to your number."

"My phone is in the house."

Xiao Xiao and his mother chatted as they walked.

He could probably guess who was looking for him.

……

"Kid, you still don't like to carry a cell phone with you."

"I see other people's children looking down at their phones even when they are walking on the street."

Of course, she certainly didn't mean that such behavior was good.

Every time she saw children like this, she couldn't help but worry about them.

The ones on the main road are too dangerous.

However, Xiao's mother was somewhat helpless, "Won't it be a headache for your friends to find you like this?"

……

Xiao Xiao shrugged, "I'll call them back."

"You." Xiao's mother shook her head. "Okay, go to the second floor to find them."

……

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Xiao Xiao knocked on the door lightly a few times.

Soon, a few faces appeared behind the opened door, which were not unexpected to him.

"Master Xiao."

"Achuan, Xiuxiu, Meng Jixi."

……

Meng Jixi frowned, "Master Xiao, you see, I call you Master Xiao."

"Just like Ah Chuan, you can call me Ah Xi."

Otherwise, why would he feel like he was left out?
……

"Ah Xi."

Xiao Xiao called out, "Why did you guys come here together today?"

He walked into the box.

Chi Xiuchuan was the last one to close the door of the box.

……

Everyone took their seats.

Xiao Xiao poured himself a cup of tea, raised the cup and sniffed it gently, the aroma of tea filled his nose.

After taking a sip of tea, he looked up at everyone and asked, "Do you need my help?"

……

"how do you know?"

Chi Xiu Ke blurted out.

The girl then realized that she had confessed herself and stuck out her tongue, looking at her brother and Meng Jixi embarrassedly.

Meng Jixi glanced at Chi Xiu Ke and said, "Idiot."

Chi Xiuchuan smiled gently at his sister, indicating that she shouldn't worry about it.

Then he looked at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, just as you said, we have something we would like to ask you for help."

……

"Rather, I have something I want to ask Master Xiao for help."

Chi Xiu Ke said sternly, "My brother and Brother Ji Xi both came here with me."

"Although I have troubled Master Xiao many times."

The girl was very embarrassed, "But-"

"Besides Master Xiao, I don't know who else to look for."

……

“You guys helped me a lot too.”

Xiao Xiao was pragmatic and said, "I'm sorry to bother you these past few days."

"Thank you."

……

"I didn't help at all with that."

In the end, it was Master Xiao who solved the problem himself.

Meng Jixi scratched his hair, unwilling to accept Xiao Xiao's thanks.

……

"No matter what the result is, the fact is that you contributed."

Xiao Xiao waved his hand, stopping Meng Jixi from explaining further.

"So, what do you want my help with?"

……

"Let me tell you."

Chi Xiu Ke organized the thoughts in her mind and spoke slowly.

The person she wanted to ask Master Xiao for help was a high school classmate of hers.

To be more specific, it was the other person's grandmother.

……

That day, several of their good high school classmates came out for a party.

Wang Man, who is usually cheerful, was surprisingly silent.

His frowned brows made him look somewhat worried.

……

After their repeated questioning, Wang Man finally told them the things that made her unable to smile.

……

Wang Man's grandfather died when she was in junior high school.

Wang Man's grandmother has lived alone since then and has not lived in any of her sons' homes.

However, this is also because Wang Man's family and his uncle's family all live in Yanjing, which is not far from the old man's home, making it convenient for the old man to move around.

The old man would take turns going to his two sons’ homes for meals two or three days a week.

If there is anything, it’s just a matter of making a phone call to ask my son to come over.

Therefore, although the old man lives alone, there is no inconvenience.

……

However, during the summer vacation of the year when Wang Man was admitted to university, her grandmother fell seriously ill.

After that, my originally strong body started to feel a little weaker.
