"Thank you so much."
Xu Qizhen expressed his gratitude again and again.
"I just think it's such a coincidence..."
"And such inconvenient timing, too."
Xu Qizhen sighed.
Xu Qizhen's words were a bit of a mouthful.
But Xiao Xiao understood what he meant.
"Yeah."
Everything had lined up perfectly.
They'd just been a little unlucky.
The timing really couldn't have been worse.
But...
Xiao Xiao's eyes curved into a smile.
"Either way, you've found a trace of her."
"So it should only be a matter of time before you run into her again."
Xu Qizhen froze for a moment.
Then he quickly broke into a smile.
"Yeah."
"I found her."
"I guess you could say I found her, right?"
He suddenly realized...
Wasn't this just like when he was a child?
A trace of wistfulness appeared on his face.
Back then, all he'd done was hear her voice.
He'd never managed to find her.
Many years later, he'd finally found a trace of her again.
And yet, all he'd heard was her voice.
He couldn't help laughing.
"Student Xiao."
His voice was full of amusement.
"I really do come full circle."
"When I was a kid, I only heard her voice. I never saw her."
"I never thought that after all these years..."
"I'd still only hear her voice..."
"Without seeing her..."
A coincidence like this was enough to leave anyone amazed.
He really had run into far too many coincidences today...
The more Xu Qizhen thought about it, the more amusing it seemed.
And the more he thought about it, the more he sighed.
For a moment, his expression was rather complicated.
Xiao Xiao's eyes curved slightly.
"Yeah."
"You're playing hide-and-seek with her again."
"I hope this time..."
The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened.
