Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6040

Xu Zizhen believed that she had a flash of inspiration.

……

"Master Xiao."

Xu Zizhen suppressed her grin.

"That child wants to see you."

Xu Zizhen finally revealed the purpose of the phone call.

"she……"

Xu Zizhen paused slightly, then continued, "I'm very curious about people who can see like me."

This curiosity gave the child the courage to voice his request.

……

“…Not necessarily.”

Xu Zizhen continued.

"The child is still hesitating."

"Perhaps I will see you."

"Perhaps in the end they will decide not to meet."

"I'm letting you know in advance."

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

……

Xu Zizhen smiled.

“…Master Xiao”.

After talking to Master Xiao about the child, Xu Zizhen felt somewhat emotional.

"I never thought I'd run into him again..."

Xu Zizhen paused slightly, then continued, "Someone like my uncle."

"Oh."

Xu Zizhen revised her statement, saying, "He's like my former uncle."

My uncle was a child back then.

Ya Ya is a child now.

Xu Zizhen was slightly taken aback.

Is it...

"Master Xiao."

Xu Zizhen seemed thoughtful, "Children are more likely to see..."

"is it?"

Compared to adults...

Innocent and carefree children are indeed more suited to this kind of story.

Just like the protagonists of many fairy tales are children.

……

Well.

exactly……

Seeing this... well, this isn't exactly a fairy tale, is it...?

After all, neither the uncle of the past nor Ya Ya of today have stories as bright and colorful as fairy tales.

Ya Ya doesn't know yet...

The ending of Uncle's story is definitely not a fairy tale ending.

can only say……

This ended my uncle's years-long search.

This put my uncle's mind at ease.

But it also dealt a huge blow to my uncle.

In terms of results...

This brought my uncle's story to a close.

From this perspective...

It's good.

Uncle can finally let go of a certain figure that has occupied most of his life.

only……

Somewhat cruelly...

It also shattered the filter that the uncle had applied to that figure over the years.

This points out that the uncle's feelings were one-sided rather than mutual.

My uncle felt sadness, embarrassment, disbelief, and bewilderment... He also felt anger and questioning...

Finally, all the emotions subsided...

My uncle let himself feel at ease.

……

"You can say that."

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

Children are indeed more likely to see the other side of the world.

……

Xu Zizhen was not surprised by Master Xiao's answer.

Although there are only two samples, this conclusion is valid no matter how you look at it...

They are all easy to derive.

……

"...I saw it when I was a child..."

Xu Zizhen murmured, "I won't be able to see it anymore when I grow up..."

Is it limited to a child's special abilities...?

No.

Xu Zizhen shook his head.

He thought of Master Xiao.

Not entirely...

This applies only to children's special abilities.

……

"Do many children think they have memory problems?"

Xu Zizhen said with a smile.

Or perhaps you imagine yourself as Alice in Wonderland...

I had a very special dream.

Children always love to fantasize.

Perhaps even the child himself doesn't understand what he's seeing...

Is this reality?
It's still an illusion.

……

"...It was quite a unique experience..."

Xu Zizhen was somewhat moved.

Most people don't have the opportunity to have such an experience.

Although he couldn't say whether the experience was good or bad... one thing was certain...

This experience was quite special.

……

"...Unfortunately, I don't seem to have had any questionable experiences during my childhood..."

Xu Zizhen thought about herself when she was a child.

Most of the memories have faded and are impossible to verify.

He was somewhat surprised to find...

The thing that left the deepest impression on him when he was a child...

That's my uncle.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he smiled.

My uncle back then was melancholy and acted strangely...

It was indeed very impressive.

There were also whispers and gossip among relatives about the uncle...

This undoubtedly reinforced that impression.

Although his uncle was "dusty" at the time, he was the most vivid and memorable person in his memory.

So much so that I reminisce about my childhood...

He seemed to only remember images related to his uncle.

……

Xu Zizhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"What makes me special is that I have such a special uncle."

He could write a novel.

The novel is called: My Strange Uncle?

Or... my melancholy uncle?

Uncle's special childhood playmate?
I have a strange friend?

……

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but chuckle.

These book titles...

It's so common.

But my uncle's experience...

It is indeed special and rare.

……

"Master Xiao."

Xu Zizhen was somewhat curious.

Will Ya Ya also be unable to see in the future?

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"do not know."

"Maybe will."

"Maybe not."

……

Also.

Xu Zizhen shrugged slightly.

Master Xiao doesn't have the ability to predict the future.

His question was simply asking the impossible.

……

"I saw it, yet I couldn't see it..."

Xu Zizhen thought of her uncle, "He'll be very disappointed..."

It wasn't disappointment.

What if you suddenly can't see...

Wouldn't that mean there wouldn't be enough time to say anything?

For those who can't see it, it's like being unfollowed unilaterally for no reason.

Despite having so many questions in my mind...

There is nothing we can do.

If you can't see it, you can't see it.

Even the person involved may not know that they have become blind.

They assumed the other person had left.

……

"Some will."

Xiao Xiao swiftly caught the little glutton that was trying to open its mouth at the snail.

He flicked his finger on the little Taotie's head.

The snail was completely unaware that it had just narrowly escaped death.

It was still moving slowly.

Occasionally, my body might slip slightly.

The snail showed no sign of panic.

"Some don't."

……

The little glutton pouted.

Such a tiny snail...

Generally speaking, it wouldn't even consider it.

However, Lord Xiao Xiao kept staring at the little snail, causing it to unconsciously start staring at it as well.

The little snail's slow movements made the little glutton's forehead veins bulge.

too slow.

It's annoying to look at.

The little glutton was enraged.

Intending to avoid seeing it, he was about to pounce and devour the little snail.
thump~
The little glutton was "strangled by the throat of fate".

……

The little Taotie dangled in Xiao Xiao's hand.

The corners of his mouth were pulled back.

His eyes, visible under his armpits, had a dead fish-like appearance.

……

Xiao Xiao's lips curved slightly.

He put the little Taotie back on his head.

……

Xu Zizhen was stunned for a few seconds.

Then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"……indeed."

"Some people are looking forward to something different."
