Xia Fan did not hide anything.

"What about you, the shopkeeper?"

Achao was stunned.

"I will naturally stay in the villa."

Xia Fan shrugged.

"Why didn't the shopkeeper leave with us?"

Achao immediately asked.

"If I can, I want to leave, but I can't."

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

“…”

When Achao heard this, he fell silent immediately.

"After arriving at the Golden Raven Dynasty, Meng Xihua will make corresponding arrangements. If you encounter any unsolvable situations, you can contact her directly."

Xia Fan continued.

"...Shopkeeper, won't you have anything to do?"

Achao suddenly said.

"Won't."

Xia Fan immediately smiled.

"Shopkeeper, I will definitely fulfill your instructions."

Achao said solemnly.

"I don't worry if you are here."

Xia Fan's smile remained unchanged.

moment.

Achao left.

Xia Fan was left in the courtyard again.

As the night gets darker.

But he was still lying in the rocking chair without movement.

"Shopkeeper..."

A gentle voice suddenly rang out carefully.

"Taozi, you're here just right, come with me and have a walk."

When Xia Fan heard the sound, he knew who the person was.

He stood up from the rocking chair, stretched his waist a little, and then smiled and waved to the peach that was tiptoed not far away.

Taozi walked forward with complicated eyes but didn't say a word. Then, under Xia Fan's leadership, he slowly came to the lake in the back mountain.

The two stood on the shore of the lake, quietly admiring the bright moon shining on the lake.

This is not the first time Taozi has come to the lake in the back mountain.

In the past, when Xia Fan came to fish or raft.

From time to time, I would greet peaches.

"By the way, is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?"

I don't know how long it took.

Xia Fan lowered his body and picked up some flat stones, and asked inadvertently while ramming the water float.

"...Shopkeeper, have you had any worries recently?"

Taozi opened her mouth with a nervous expression, and finally got the courage to ask.

"How do you know I have something to do? What did you see? Or did Cailing tell you?"

Xia Fan smiled discontently.

“…it was mainly what Sister Cailing told me.”

Taozi bit her lip lightly.

"And Taozi also saw a little."

"Taozi, do you think I am the kind of person who can write my thoughts on my face?"

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"Of course the shopkeeper is not that kind of person, just..."

Taozi whispered with her head down.

"Is a woman's intuition?"

After throwing the stones in his hand, Xia Fan clapped his hands and said.

“…”

Taozi heard this but didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Taozi, I know you get along very well with Cailing now. Sometimes, you will ask some things that she inconveniently asks you for your own sake. Usually, I will say what I should say, and I will say what I shouldn't say, because I know you won't tell Cailing what I shouldn't say..."

Xia Fan came to Taozi, reached out and stroked her head gently.

"But this time the situation is a little different, I can only tell you that I will be fine."

"...Shopkeeper, are you saying true?"

Taozi slowly raised her head, and a trace of crystal tears flashed in her eyes.

"Fake."

Xia Fan smiled.

"Shopkeeper!"

When Taozi heard this, she subconsciously raised her clenched Xiu fist and slammed it on Xia Fan's chest.

After a while.

The two sat on the shore of the lake.

"Shopkeeper, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Xia Fan's eyes staring at the lake in front of him with a daze, peaches who were silently observing him could not help but ask in a low voice.

"Taozi, sometimes do you think I'm a particularly boring person?"

Xia Fan was absent-minded.

"Ah?! Why does the shopkeeper ask such a question?"

Taozi was stunned for a moment.

“My life should have been fun, but now I’m making myself very boring.”

Xia Fan shrugged.

"This, is the shopkeeper not satisfied with himself now?"

Taozi thought for a while.

"It's not a good thing to be satisfied, nor can it say it's like it."

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"I remember someone said that a simple life is the truth. No matter how wonderful the past life is, it will eventually return to a simple life... For more than 20 years, I have tried my best to live a ordinary life, but later I suddenly realized that I can adapt to a simple life, but I cannot get used to a simple life for a long time."

“…Why?”

Peach said in a daze.

"Taozi, I'm not even a hundred years old now, but do you know how long I can live?"

Xia Fan turned his head and looked at Taozi and smiled.

“…”

Taozi subconsciously shook her head and said.

"In fact, I don't know how long I can live. If I have good luck, I may be able to survive forever. If I have bad luck, I may die in a few years."

Xia Fan said lightly.

"Do you know? For ordinary people, being able to live for a hundred years is the greatest happiness, but for people like us, one hundred years may be just the beginning of life."

“…”
