"ah?"

The beetle was stunned for a moment, and then it reacted, "Together!"

"Then come up."

Xiao Xiao gestured to the chess player in his hand.

This is a chess book that he finally found, which barely left a few chess games.

This beetle really turned its anger into appetite and ate a lot.

…

Xiao Xiao walked to the cashier with the chess record in hand.

It wasn't until Xiao Xiao lightly knocked on the cashier table that the somewhat sleepy man suddenly woke up and looked up.

"Ah, this guest, I'm sorry."

The man wiped his face and smiled awkwardly.

"Have you picked out the book?"

The man glanced at the book Xiao Xiao held in his hand, "Is it just one?"

"There are no other books you like?"

"Now is the promotion time, it's a good deal to buy a few more copies."

"boss."

Xiao Xiao put the book on the cashier but did not let go of his hand.

"I would like to ask, where is the previous boss?"

"Didn't he do it?"

The beetle in the book stared at the man unblinkingly.

…

"Previous boss?"

The man subconsciously repeated Xiao Xiao's words, and then suddenly smiled, "So he is an old customer."

"It's really rare that young people actually like old books?"

After sighing with emotion, the man answered Xiao Xiao's previous question, "That's my dad."

"He died more than a week ago."

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Xiao was not very surprised by this answer.

In fact, after listening to Zhi's story, he vaguely had this conjecture.

After all, he is an old man.

He glanced at the beetle.

The little monster's back was facing him, and he couldn't see its expression clearly.

It seemed stunned.

…

"As old people get older, it is inevitable."

The man waved his hands.

"My father has finally passed away."

Although he said this to the young man in front of him, the man still felt a little confused in his heart.

It is difficult for most people to truly let go of the loss of a life, especially the life of a close relative.

At least it's difficult to do in a short time.

The man shook his head and reached for the book Xiao Xiao placed on the cashier counter. "I'll put it in the bag for you."

Xiao Xiao let go of his hand and flicked it carelessly, and the beetle was pushed from the book to the cashier.

The beetle was startled.

My whole body couldn't help but bounce a little.

Then, it saw that the book it had been sitting on was picked up by the man.

Seeing the man's somewhat familiar appearance, it became a little lost in thought.

The old man...is dead.

died?

For a moment it didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.

Then it suddenly clicked.

Ah, dead.

In other words, the old man will never come to the bookstore again...

The old man's promise to see you tomorrow... can no longer be fulfilled.

The old man...is no longer here.

No wonder it waited so many days for the old man's son to come.

It can't wait for the old man.

...

The beetle was a little confused.

It knows that humans will die.

We also know that compared to most monsters, human lifespan is short.

Even though he knew it, it still felt... too fast.

It seemed that the old man had just seen it not long ago... It was a little impatient because of the old man's nagging... The old man brought it an old newspaper... The old man ignored its huge size.
