The white monster nodded blankly.
It is indeed a lot more convenient to talk like this.
.....
"Didn't your friend come?"
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly arched, "It usually comes to see you at this time, right?"
Ling Feng nodded.
"It likes red maple leaves."
“I come here every year at this time.”
...
"Ling Feng likes that friend very much."
Xiao Xiao was somewhat emotional.
He was deeply impressed by Ling Feng's sane and even somewhat cold speech.
Ling Feng at this time inevitably gave him some surprises.
...
Ling Feng glanced at Xiao Xiao, then lowered his eyelids slightly, "No."
"It's annoying."
"It's always noisy."
That morning, while he was half asleep and half awake, he was suddenly startled by a burst of yelling.
It opened its eyes and saw the guy's face full of wonder at Hong Maple.
It didn't want to pay attention, thinking that this guy would leave after a while.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually came over.
At first glance, it becomes annoying.
However, that guy couldn't be driven away.
It wasn't until the red maple faded from its beautiful color that the guy left a message saying "come back next year" and left.
And then, the next year, the noisy guy showed up.
It had almost forgotten this guy.
Third year, fourth year...that guy came too.
Last year, that guy was still here.
However, this year, even though the maple leaves have been red for several days, it has never seen that familiar figure.
...
"It's just that it always comes around this time."
"I'm just a little weird."
...
"Yeah?"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile, "But Uncle Xu has noticed your anxiety."
"He's worried about you."
"That's why you came to me."
"Want me to come see what happened to you?"
Xiao Xiao's words made Ling Feng subconsciously tighten his lips.
It couldn't help but turn its gaze and look at the man standing under the tree looking up.
Obviously the man can't see it.
But it seemed to see its shadow in the man's eyes.
Did he... actually feel it?
...
It turns out that it cares more than it thought.
Maybe it's just out of habit?
The guy who was used to seeing it at this time of year suddenly disappeared. Even it was a little uncomfortable.
However, as time goes by, it will adapt.
Ling Feng turned to look at Hong Feng in front of him.
After all, after watching it for so many years, that guy must be tired of the same thing, right?
Ling Feng stretched out his hand and stroked the outline of the maple leaf, outlining the shape of the maple leaf.
His expression was a little indifferent.
...
"Perhaps your friend was suddenly delayed by something."
Xiao Xiao's words made Ling Feng raise his eyes and look over, "If you wait a few more days, maybe it will come."
"...It doesn't matter."
Ling Feng stroked the maple leaf with his fingers, "Whether it comes or not is its choice."
Just like it suddenly appeared.
Now, it just left so quietly.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Lingfeng, what does your friend look like?"
"Maybe I've met him before."
"Or will I meet you later?"
"When the time comes, I will remind it to come here to see the red maples."
...
Ling Feng was silent for a while.
It looked at the smiling human being in front of it and finally said, "A monster like a wasp."
"It's always noisy and annoying."
There was a hint of disgust in his calm tone.
...
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
This familiar description...
He was not surprised at all that the other party was a monster.
If it were a human being, how could the Xu family not know that they come here every year to see the red maples?
Although he knew it was a monster.
But he didn't expect that his words would become a prophecy.
It was indeed the monster it had met.
and......
Xiao Xiao stroked his forehead.
It's really...a bit of a dumbfounding coincidence.
...
Xiao Xiao's somewhat abnormal reaction made Ling Feng look over in confusion.
It didn't understand. Did it say something strange?
...
"Lingfeng."
Xiao Xiao spoke with a somewhat helpless tone, "I think I should know the reason why your friend is absent this year."
"...You know it."
Ling Feng's calm tone showed no uncertainty at all.
There was a bit of surprise in the pure white eyes.
This was the first time Xiao Xiao saw such emotions from this monster.
He was startled by the monster's keenness.
Then, he nodded, "Yeah,"
"and-"
Xiao Xiao leaned back and looked at the red maple leaves above, "The reason why it can't come..."
He tilted his head, Ling Feng's figure reflected in his eyes, "It's because of me."
"......What's the meaning?"
Ling Feng looked into Xiao Xiao's eyes, and there was a hint of sharpness at the end of his narrow eyes.
...
Xiao Xiao looked up again at the maple leaves above, and recounted what happened between him and Wenwen before.
"It was probably scared away by me."
Xiao Xiao expressed his guess.
After all, Wenwen's expression at that time that she wished she could stay far away from this place and never come back was too obvious.
It's not easy for him to pretend not to see it.
...
However, are you so scared by him that you don’t even dare to see your friends?
Xiao Xiao looked at the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, his eyes twinkling.
Should I say he is too intimidating?
Or is that monster very cautious or timid?
...
Ling Feng was silent.
Scared away?
What a fool.
And, scaring humans?
Not only a fool, but a childish fool.
...
This situation is really unexpected.
Xiao Xiao also had to say with emotion, this is fate.
He looked at Ling Feng, "It's okay."
I just don’t know when it will have the courage to step into this area again.
Although he didn't think he did anything wrong in this matter, but, "Do you need me to help you find it?"
Ling Feng's rare display of emotion made him want to help it.
"......Need not."
Ling Feng shook his head without being too surprised by Xiao Xiao.
After all, Ling Feng has such a character.
...
"you sure?"
Xiao Xiao asked again.
"Um."
Ling Feng glanced at Xiao Xiao lightly, as if he didn't like being asked the same question twice.
"All right."
Xiao Xiao shrugged, "I asked too much."
Since the original owner didn't need his help, he didn't care.
Moreover, he found that Ling Feng's slightly turbulent aura had calmed down since they met.
It's because I learned from him -
Wenwen didn't intentionally break the appointment but was scared away by him. Wenwen was not harmed and is still alive and kicking somewhere...?
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Are you relieved now?"
Ling Feng glanced at Xiao Xiao with some confusion.
What does it worry about?
It was never a concern in the first place.
It's just a little confusing.
...
Xiao Xiao said nothing to expose Ling Feng's disguise.
He straightened up and tilted his head to look at Ling Feng, "Then, Ling Feng, I have to leave."
"I'll see you next time." (To be continued)
