Xiao Xiao pressed the button to go down.
Meng Jixi looked away from the window.
He glanced at the elevator button as it lit up, then looked at Xiao Xiao. "Master Xiao, it left?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao gave a slight nod. "It left."
"Really..."
Meng Jixi murmured softly.
"Will it come see Zhao An again?"
He'd heard Master Xiao ask that question earlier.
But he hadn't heard the answer.
Xiao Xiao smiled faintly. "That depends on the fate between them."
If they were fated to meet, then even if they didn't see each other again, they might still cross paths someday.
"Oh."
Meng Jixi understood.
He wasn't fooled by Master Xiao's vague answer.
"Right. They can't even see each other anymore..."
Did the monster feel... disappointed?
It had gone to so much trouble to find the little girl from all those years ago.
But time had moved on, and everything had changed.
The little girl had grown up, and her appearance had changed.
She had even lost the ability to see it.
The Zhao An of today was no longer the little girl in the monster's memories.
Sigh~
Meng Jixi couldn't help sighing inwardly.
As a mere bystander, the whole thing... left him feeling a little unsettled.
"Ding~"
The elevator doors slowly opened.
Xiao Xiao stepped inside first.
Meng Jixi shook his head and followed.
Why was he thinking so much about it?
In any case, the matter had come to an end.
Whether Zhao An and the monster would cross paths again... just as Master Xiao had said, it depended on fate.
"So, did you get chewed out?"
A coworker raised her eyebrows at Zhao An as she came out of the manager's office and sat down at her desk, asking in a low voice.
