"Mm..."
"Now that you mention it..."
"Did you remember?"
"No."
Xiao Xiao: ...
That girl Xiuxiu...
Come to think of it, the first person to call him Master Xiao loudly and without a care in the world in "public"...
seemed to have been that girl Xiuxiu.
"Master Xiao."
Hua Ziyun opened the car door for Xiao Xiao.
"Get in."
Xiao Xiao settled into the passenger seat.
Upbeat music bounced around the car.
It was lively and raucous.
Hua Ziyun turned off the music.
The noisy car fell silent at once.
Hua Ziyun coughed, a little awkwardly.
He changed to another music station.
Gentle, melodious music flowed out like a spring.
Hua Ziyun immediately felt much more at ease.
He grinned at Master Xiao.
"Master Xiao, sorry for calling you out so suddenly..."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
"Just you?"
He'd thought there would be someone else in the car.
Hua Ziyun immediately understood what Master Xiao meant.
Yanyan hadn't come.
Hua Ziyun explained.
"I didn't tell Yanyan I was coming to see you today."
"Yanyan's been really busy lately."
He knew that.
He didn't want to add any extra burden to Yanyan.
Actually, he'd hesitated for a long time.
After all...
It was true that Master Xiao had saved his life.
But after that incident, he hadn't seen Master Xiao for a long time.
He wasn't sure if Master Xiao would be unhappy to hear that he'd shown up unannounced.
Naturally, the best option would have been to arrange a meeting with Master Xiao through Yanyan.
But Yanyan had been busy every day lately.
He'd been trying not to bother her because of it.
Of course.
He still sent Yanyan messages to show that he cared.
As for this matter...
