"At least not as familiar as you." Zhiyao insisted, and after thinking for a moment, she suggested, "It's still early, why don't you take me to visit the school you attend?"
Faced with the proposal, Xili stared at him for a while, then sighed: "I'm not from this place. I told you last time, don't you remember?"
After this reminder, Zhiyao gradually remembered that he seemed to have said it.
"Oh, it seems so, hehe." He scratched his scalp embarrassedly, but there were still several hours before dark, so he began to look around, thinking about what to do to pass the time.
"Don't you want to go to the hotel and get a room first?" Xili reminded.
When he heard about booking a room, Zhiyao immediately showed an ambiguous smile and turned his head to glance at Xili.
Seeing this, Xili glared back at Zhiyao with sharp eyes.
"I mean finding a place to live!"
"I know, I didn't say no, why are you nervous?" Zhiyao sneered, and her humorous expression made Xili subconsciously clench her fists.
If they weren't on the street now, she would have pounced on him and attacked him.
"Okay, okay, no more jokes." Zhiyao stuck out her tongue and put away her smirk. "I'm not going to stay in a hotel this time. I'm going to stay at Tamamo's place tonight."
Xili nodded, "Okay, then I'll find a hotel for myself first."
"No, you can save on accommodation costs if you go with me." Zhiyao hurriedly persuaded.
"Should I go too..." Xili hesitated for a moment, "I just feel like... this isn't a good idea."
The main reason is that I don’t know either of them, so I feel embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay. They're all very easy to get along with." Zhiyao said nonchalantly. After carefully observing the surroundings, he leaned close to Xili's ear and said, "You can also open your eyes and see a living monster. Such opportunities don't come often."
Under Zhiyao's continued persuasion, Xili finally nodded after hesitating for a while.
Next.
"Take me around." Zhiyao said casually.
"Oh, there's obviously no improvement." Xili sighed.
Having said that, she still took Zhiyao for a stroll around the streets, and gave a few explanations from time to time. Through Xili's narration, Zhiyao gradually understood that even in the future, this small town would not change much, except that some buildings had been renovated.
After a full circle, Xili clasped her hands together and concluded, "That's basically it. I haven't been here long."
Zhiyao understood everything and nodded his head, but the next second he saw Xili staring in a certain direction. He followed her gaze and finally stopped at the door of an inconspicuous shop across the street.
What happened there? He wanted to ask Xili, but seeing Xili's fixed gaze, he quickly realized something.
Is it possible there...
Maybe……
After calming himself down, he got straight to the point: "Could that be Mihua's coffee shop?"
Hearing this, Xili turned to him, a flash of surprise in her eyes, and finally nodded slightly.
"So that's where it is. I looked for it twice but couldn't find it." Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh.
"Because the outside looks different from what it will look like in the future. In the future, there will be glass windows, but now there are only opaque walls," Xili explained. "I also slowly decided on it based on the surrounding topography."
In this case, it goes without saying what to do next.
"Come on, let's go in."
"Huh?" Xili was slightly stunned. "I don't even know what's going on inside."
"Then go in and take a look first. Maybe you can see the Mihua from your childhood."
After saying that, Zhiyao was very excited and couldn't wait to cross the road. Xili followed quickly and grabbed Zhiyao's sleeve when they reached the door.
"Don't talk nonsense after you go in, just look around," she reminded.
Zhiyao was speechless.
"Don't I even have this common sense?"
As soon as the door was opened, the scene inside was completely different from what the two had imagined. On the left was a bar with several revolving chairs placed outside the bar. Apart from that, there was only an aisle on the right leading to the inner room.
In a dozen years this will become an antique cafe, but now it is a mini bar.
Just as Zhiyao raised her head to look up at the second floor, a female voice suddenly rang out.
"Welcome, are you two guests?"
Hearing this, Zhiyao's gaze returned to the front and she saw the young woman sitting at the bar, not sure whether she was the boss or the waitress.
Zhiyao nodded, and then heard the other party continue to ask: "Excuse me, what would you two like to drink?"
Zhiyao was a little curious about whether this bar was open during the day. Just as she was about to ask, Xili spoke first.
"Is there any coffee?"
"How can there be coffee in a bar?" Zhiyao reminded decisively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the young woman: "We also have coffee, what kind do you want?"
After taking the menu and taking a quick look at it, Xili randomly picked one and then multiplied the quantity by two.
Ten minutes later, two cups of steaming coffee were placed in front of her. The steaming hot air hit her face. Xili picked up the cup and took a sip. Then her eyes became softer than ever before.
"Mihua once said that life is sometimes just a matter of the temperature of a cup of coffee." Suddenly, she said to herself.
Zhiyao next to her glanced at her, and at the same time seemed to understand something and started to guess.
"You want coffee, don't tell me it's because..."
Xili sighed slightly, "Nothing, just something that reminded me of something." After glancing at the young woman again, she lowered her voice to remind Zhiyao, "The taste of this coffee is very similar to the one brewed by Mihua."
Upon hearing this, Zhiyao was stunned and secretly glanced at the young woman's face, wondering if this woman could be Mihua's biological mother, and perhaps Mihua's craftsmanship was inherited from her mother.
It would have been fine if I hadn't thought about it that way, but once I did, the more I looked at them, the more similar they seemed.
Just as he was about to discuss this matter with Xili, the door to the inner room opened and a little girl walked out.
She was a little girl who looked much younger than Bai Ju. She wore a woolen hat on her head and walked with her feet turned outward, wobbling like a little duck. Based on her walking posture, Zhiyao judged that she might have just learned to walk not long ago.
The more he looked at her, the more adorable she seemed. Zhiyao, who was becoming more and more unable to help herself, came forward with a wide smile.
"Little boy, what's your name?"
The little girl blinked a few times in a silly way, her head sometimes tilting to the left and sometimes to the right. After a few seconds, she realized that she was making a babbling sound.
"Dense...flowers."
Chapter 164: [A False Alarm]
Zhiyao was overjoyed to see the small dense flower she had been searching for for a long time finally within reach.
When the young woman noticed Xiao Mihua coming out, she hurried out from the bar and picked her up.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to interrupt your meal."
Zhiyao smiled awkwardly. "It's okay, it's okay. She's very cute." At the same time, she said that she also wanted to hold Xiao Mihua.
After saying this, the young woman hesitated for a moment, then put the small flower back on the ground and smiled embarrassedly.
After getting permission, Zhiyao immediately picked up Xiao Mihua.
"Hehehe, Xiao Mihua." He smiled gently.
Xiao Mihua stared at Zhiyao blankly, and slowly stretched out her small and delicate hand and placed it on Zhiyao's face.
"elder brother."
Children of this age cannot speak fluently yet. Listening to the baby voice, Zhiyao felt her heart was about to melt.
Beside her, Xili's eyes widened.
This little girl turned out to be Mihua, the future girl who was first-class in both figure and appearance, and who was like a sister to her, taking good care of her and being considerate and caring.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still surprised when she saw the real person.
"How old is Xiao Mihua this year?" Zhiyao's eyes were full of doting.
"She's three," the young woman replied. "She'll be four in a few months."
Hearing this, Zhiyao smiled at the young woman, then put Xiao Mihua on the bar and sat down. Noticing Xili staring at her, he leaned close to Xili's ear and lowered his voice, suggesting excitedly, "Aren't you going to bully her while she's still young?"
Xili was slightly stunned, looking extremely puzzled. When she saw Zhiyao gently pinching Xiao Mihua's face, she suddenly realized.
It turns out this is the bully.
She immediately followed suit and poked her fingers into the chubby little cheeks.
You know what, it feels pretty good.
Her emotions suddenly became intense, and she began to lose control, sometimes pinching her ears, sometimes holding her nose, or taking off her woolen hat and stroking her head. She looked like she was enjoying herself from beginning to end.
She wondered, if she had the chance to go back to the future and tell Mihua that she had bullied her when she was a child, how would Mihua react?
It’s interesting to think about.
……
The endless sea level, the afterglow of the setting sun paints the horizon into a dazzling golden color.
It was dusk, and Xili stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the end of the sky.
Once she jumped from this place and returned from the future to the past. Now, after a long absence, she returned to this place again. However, the difference from that time was that Feng Shi was not in front of her, and Mihua behind her was replaced by Zhiyao.
"Hey, Xili." Zhiyao said from behind, "Don't stand there. It's dangerous."
It was Xili who answered Zhiyao, still looking straight ahead, and Xili's voice appeared directly in his mind.
"I've always been lonely"
Hearing this line, Zhiyao suddenly lost her composure and was swept by a sudden sense of tension.
"No, you're not lonely!" he retorted resolutely, "We've been together all this time, and we've been having a great time together."
Xili still didn't look back. Seeing this, Zhiyao took a deep breath and slowly approached Xili from behind at a speed as unnoticed as possible.
Persuasion alone won't work at this time.
Although I don't know what's wrong with this girl, at least I should pull her back from the edge of the cliff and take her to a safe place before talking to her slowly.
Unexpectedly, when the distance was less than two meters, Xili's voice suddenly came, but this time it did not appear directly in the head.
"do not come."
Hearing this, Zhiyao no longer dared to act rashly. He swallowed deeply, trying to calm himself down, and asked nonchalantly: "What's wrong with you? Did you encounter anything? If you have anything unhappy, you can tell me."
"not at all."
"Then what are you..."
"Sikong, you're actually very good, very good, really." During the conversation, Xili turned half of her face back, "You are kind, brave, and gentle. You have changed the fate of many people. Because of you, they in this time and space can find happiness. But I can't, because I come from the future. After all, I am not from this time and space. No matter how beautiful everything here is, it doesn't belong to me. I must return to the future."
"How could you have such an idea?" Zhiyao was speechless. "Just like you, I'm not from this time and space. Didn't I tell you that you don't need to feel out of place?"
"I'm happy that you accepted me, but I still have to go back because Mihua is still waiting for me. Although that future is full of tragedies, I must face it with my head held high. Only in this way can I grow."
Xili's tone revealed an unimaginable firmness, and in an instant, Zhiyao was panicked and at a loss.
"No, no, no, you actually have a better choice. Listen to me first..."
At this moment, that expressionless face showed a rare smile.
then.
"I'm leaving, Sikong. Finally, it's a pleasure to meet you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xili jumped off the cliff. When Zhiyao chased after her, there was only endless surging waves below.
With a start, Zhiyao opened her eyes and suddenly stood up.
He quickly looked around, and his gaze finally fixed on Xili beside him. At the same time, Xili also looked at him.
"woke up?"
"Uh, I just..."
"You can actually fall asleep after drinking coffee. I'm really impressed by you." Xili complained with great interest.
"I got up early this morning." Zhiyao scratched her head sheepishly. "Not only did I go for a long run after getting up, but I also went out on my bike this morning."
