Coincidence

"This time, the Maple Tree changed color right in front of us!"

"We saw it with our own eyes!"

"It was so amazing!"

"How could we not be excited?!"

That only made them even more curious about the monster in the Maple Tree.

They wanted to know more details.

"Oh."

Xiao Xiao understood.

Actually, when he'd seen the leaves on the entire tree change color yesterday, he'd been surprised too.

Although there was a White Plum Blossom in his courtyard that kept blooming because of Plum Blossom Woman,

he hadn't witnessed the plum blossoms opening with his own eyes.

It had always lacked a certain impact.

The Maple Tree changing color yesterday had affected him much more.

Xiao Xiao and the others arrived at a private restaurant near the school.

When they entered the private room, Uncle Xu and Xu Zizhen were already seated inside.

"Mas...ter Xiao."

Uncle Xu stood up to greet him, calling him by a familiar title.

Xu Zizhen followed close behind, looking at Xiao Xiao with a strange expression as he tentatively said, "Master Xiao?"

"Hey, how did you find out Third Brother had a title like that?"

Before Xiao Xiao could react, Zhang Bo had already blurted out.

"Now that I think about it, it really is quite a coincidence."

Uncle Xu smiled, sounding a little wistful. "Let's sit down first."

He ushered everyone to their seats around the dining table. Without rushing to explain, he handed them the menu. "Let's order first."

"Everyone must be hungry, right?"

After the server took the menu away, Uncle Xu looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile, his expression sincere. "Master Xiao, this time doesn't count. I'll treat you properly next time."

"I hope you won't turn me down then."
