Seeing this, Xiao Xiao frowned.

Speak calmly.

"Telling something about what happened to you."

...

"Our grandson was hit and killed by a car because of our negligence?"

The old lady's voice was a bit sharp.

It was like the harsh sound of nails scraping against glass.

"Old lady."

The old man reached out and held the old lady's hand, and then gently patted his wife's hand.

...

The bulging eyes on the old lady's thin face looked even more terrifying.

Xiao Xiao was not frightened by the old lady's sudden change of attitude.

He looked at the old man quietly.

Looks calm.

...

After a few seconds, the old lady's body, which was leaning forward due to intense emotions, slowly shrank back.

The old man put his arms around the old lady's shoulders.

"alright."

"never mind."

...

The old lady seemed to be sobbing.

But Xiao Xiao looked at the old man's face and found no tears on it.

Only the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

...

"Classmate Xiao."

The old lady looked at Xiao Xiao blankly.

"What else did she say?"

"Just said-"

"Old lady."

The old man held the old man's hand tightly, with a hint of disapproval on his face.

...

"Grandma, old man, please forgive me for being presumptuous."

Xiao Xiao squatted down so that he was eye-level with the two old people sitting there, making it easier to communicate. "Can you tell me how old you are this year?"

...

The old lady was stunned.

She looked at the old man.

Some were caught off guard by unexpected questions.

Isn't she asking the question?

The old lady reacted quickly.

How come she has to answer questions?

The old lady was a little unhappy.

...

"We are both over fifty."

The old man patted the old lady's back comfortingly.

It's like comforting a child.

...

"She said many people thought something else had happened to you?"

"You look... haggard."

Xiao Xiao said it very tactfully.

"You are only over fifty..."

...

The old lady and the old man both looked a little startled.

The old lady reached out and touched her face.

Very... haggard?

She turned to look at her wife beside her.

The next second, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and even a bit of horror.

"How did you get so old?!"

...

The old man touched his face reflexively.

"ah?"

"ah!"

The old man's confused cry and the old lady's exclamation sounded almost simultaneously.

The old lady looked at herself in the old man's eyes.

"Am I that old too?!"

...

The two old men looked at themselves in each other's eyes.

They all looked like they couldn't believe it.

...

"how come?"

The old lady's lips trembled.

Hands shaking.

Then the whole body was shaking.

...

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"Didn't you notice it before?"

He doesn't know what old people were like in the past.

But since the previous aunt could tell him as gossip, he thought that the appearance of the two old people now should be quite different from before.

So, even if you don’t notice it, doesn’t your partner who you spend time with every day also notice it?

So slow?

...

"......No."

The old man shook his head.

The old lady is still in confusion.

Didn't hear Xiao Xiao's words at all.

...

"We are not young people."

"I don't care much about my appearance."

As the narration continued, the old man slowly calmed down, "I don't look in the mirror that much."
To be continued...
