"The next day, the old woman came to knock on the door early in the morning."

"I'll give the child the spring rolls before he goes to work."

"But......"

The wrinkles on the old lady's face deepened a little, "No one came to answer the door."

"To this day, the old woman would come and knock on the door from time to time, wanting to see if she could meet the child."

The old lady shook her head.

"I heard the noise downstairs just now. When I came up to see you, I thought the child was back."

Her heart, which was a little worried these days, has relaxed.

result......

But she was disappointed.

......

"strangeness......"

The old lady murmured.

"The child really has something to do to leave for a few days. He should have said to the old woman when he met that day."

"At that time, the old woman said she wanted to send him some spring rolls, and he clearly agreed..."

Since she knew that she was going to send spring rolls the next day, how could the child leave without saying hello?

That child is not like this.

The child has always been polite and considerate.

She forgot some things and helped her remember them...

......

"The old woman is a little worried."

The old lady held the railings of the stairs, her hands covered with age spots tensed a little.

"Has that child encountered something?"

"So I'm leaving so in a hurry?"

It's too late to say something to her?

......

“So many days…”

The old lady's face could not hide her worries.

"The kid hasn't come back yet."

"...I don't know how the child is?"

"Is things going well?"

......

The irritability between Xiao Zhu's eyebrows and eyes was curled up.

His face showed some doubts and calmness.

Another person who said Azhe was in a wrong state...

The flower shop manager...and this old lady...

Could it be...

Xiao Zhu also felt a little worried at first.

No...

What can be done?

That kid is not that fragile...

Or is that the kid encounters something?

......

"...It won't really happen..."

Xiao Zhu whispered unconsciously.

My heartbeat accelerated a little because of the bad guess.

He took a deep breath.

Don't think randomly.

He knocked himself in the head.

He shook his head again.

......

"Old man, don't worry."

Xiao Zhu smiled and comforted the old lady with an uneasy look on her face, "Azhe asked the company for annual leave."

"It should be going out for a trip."

"Or if there is something at home, it may not be possible to go back to your hometown."

Shan Zhe’s hometown is not here.

He was here at university and finally stayed in the city to work.

......

“He has a few days left for his annual leave.”

"He will be back then."

Xiao Zhu's words made the old man's concerns fade a little.

"That's how..."

Although this still cannot explain Shan Zhe's behavior of almost leaving without saying goodbye.

But just wait until Shan Zhe comes back and asks me about this question.

The old lady finally smiled.

"alright."

"Since he hasn't come back, you are leaving, and the old woman is leaving too."

"goodbye."

"If you meet Azhe, tell the child and let him see the old woman."

"The old woman promised to wrap the spring rolls for him again then."

......

"good."

Xiao Zhu nodded, "Old man, please walk slowly."

......

Until the old lady disappeared, the remaining few people fell into a brief silence.

......

“…What should I do now?”

Xiao Zhu asked, dialing the familiar number on his phone again.

But he didn't expect anything and he casually lowered his hand holding his cell phone to his side.

......

The store manager doesn't know either.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao.

They don't seem to have anything to do...

......

Xiao Xiao's mouth raised slightly.

"us-"

His eyes froze.

"Telephone."
