"without……"

Zhao Luzheng smiled bitterly.

"It just feels more and more pity..."

When he met Zhou Yao again and learned that he no longer painted, he felt regretful.

Now that he knew Zhou Yao's painting teacher was a monster, he felt even more pity.

A human painter taught by monsters...

Thinking of the paintings I saw in the yard before... maybe Zhou Yao can paint that kind of painting one day...

When he thought about this possibility, he felt regretful.

"What a pity."

"It would be great if there wasn't that traveling art exhibition back then..."

This way the monster teacher will not leave Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao looks completely different now.

…

Xiao Xiao smiled.

Zhao Luzheng shrugged, "Okay, I know."

"Nothing is possible."

It's all happened...

"I'll just tell you behind my back."

…

Xiao Xiao and Zhao Luzheng left the teahouse.

Before leaving, Xiao's mother gave Xiao Xiao a large box of snacks.

Taotie suddenly beamed.

Feeling the pleasant breath coming from above his head, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile.

…

this day-

"Third brother, Zhou Yao asked me for your phone number."

Zhao Luzheng turned to look at Xiao Xiao.

"he-"

…

"Buzz buzz~"

"coming."

Xiao Xiao looked at the strange number that appeared on his phone.

"It should be him."

…

"So fast?"

Zhao Luzheng was speechless.

He just returned here not long ago.

…

Xiao Xiao answered the phone.

"……Hello."

…

The darkened mobile phone is placed on the table.

Xiao Xiao smiled at Zhao Luzheng who looked over, "It's Zhou Yao."

"oh oh."

Since it was Zhou Yao, he knew the purpose of the call without asking him.

but……

"Has he been struggling for so many days?"

Zhao Luzheng was thoughtful.

"I thought he would call Third Brother soon..."

Unexpectedly, it took a week for this call to come through.

…

The next day, when Xiao Xiao got off the car, he looked up and saw Zhou Yao waiting there at the entrance of the alley.

It was he who made the appointment here.

After all, the purpose of Zhou Yao's visit was not to drink tea, but to meet Chang En in the courtyard.

Then there is no need to make an appointment in a teahouse.

…

"Classmate Xiao."

Zhou Yao had a polite smile on his face.

"Sorry to trouble you."

The main place he wants to go is in someone else's yard. How can he get in without the owner's guidance?

If it were in another public place, he wouldn't need to bother Mr. Xiao.

…

"Won't."

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "Come with me."

…

The sound of footsteps could be heard in the quiet alley.

Zhou Yao's eyebrows skipped a beat.

He glanced at Classmate Xiao's feet without understanding.

Is classmate Xiao a cat?

Why is there no sound when walking?

He had deliberately controlled his steps, and the sound of his shoes hitting the bluestone surface was still unavoidable.

…

Xiao Xiao pushed open the courtyard door.

"Please come in."

"Thanks."

Zhou Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short journey, he felt very tired.

Finally arrived at the destination.

…

The yard is just like-

Zhou Yao's eyes widened.

No no...no!

It’s completely different from what he remembered!

What’s up with this blooming plum tree?!

…

The blooming white plum trees almost made Zhou Yao forget to breathe.

So beautiful.

Because it is so beautiful, it feels like a dream.
