Chapter 221 The Sixth Store



Xiao Ze felt that something was wrong with his vision. The fence became very high, and the steps were very long and wide. He looked down and saw the shoes on his feet, and was suddenly stunned.

He was wearing a pair of very old-fashioned children's sneakers on his feet. Looking at his hands, they were short and fleshy, and his clothes were also children's overalls.

Xiao Ze suddenly understood his situation.

He might have returned to his five-year-old body, but he couldn't see Lu Yao around.

Didn't she say that she would tutor him in childhood?

Where is she?

Maybe it was because of the limitations of his five-year-old thinking, Xiao Ze stayed in this young body, not wanting to move, and not wanting to go anywhere else.

He sat there blankly, gradually feeling sleepy, leaning against his teddy bear, and slowly closing his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ze felt his hands were soft, wet, and itchy. He slowly opened his eyes and was startled: "Who are you?"

A black dragon, half the size of a teddy bear, was squatting beside Xiao Ze. It had just lowered its head to lick his hand. Seeing that he had finally woken up, it flapped its two short, pitch-black wings and slowly soared into the air, reaching eye level with Xiao Ze: "I'm Alfred, your tutor."

Xiao Ze blinked his round eyes, not quite understanding, and only said: "I'm waiting for Mom."

The child was very stunned and didn't think there was anything wrong with the sudden appearance of a flying and talking little fat dragon in front of him.

Alfred's eyes were deep blue, and when he flapped his wings, his short front legs curled up in front of his chest: "Little Bean, say 'Teacher Alfred' with me."

Bean Xiaoze hugged the teddy bear tightly, silently moved aside a little, and whispered: "Al... Fu... Lao Si..."

Alfred taught Bean Xiaoze several more times, and finally taught Bean Xiaoze to say his name and introduced himself.

He was tired of flying, so he landed slowly and sat down next to Bean Xiaoze: "Little Bean, who am I?"

Xiaoze: "Teacher Alfred."

Alfred nodded with satisfaction: "Besides waiting for mom, don't you have anything else you want to do?"

Bean Xiaoze shook his head.

Alfred leaned against Xiaoze: "Okay, then I'll accompany you."

Bean Xiaoze still looked confused and moved a little to the side.

This time, he wanted Teacher Alfred to come over.

Teacher Alfred was chubby and very cute.

Douding Xiaoze was not afraid, and even felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

But he tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't remember, so he gave up.

This afternoon, Douding Xiaoze didn't wait for his mother.

While the other children were picked up by their parents, he was still sitting on the steps, holding a teddy bear in his hands, with Teacher Alfred sitting next to him.

When the nanny came to call Xiaoze back, Teacher Alfred was gone.

Xiaoze searched around the ivy fence for several circles, but couldn't find him.

Finally, he was forcibly carried back to the childcare center by the nanny.

After dinner, the other boarding children were playing in the toy room, and Xiaoze sat in the corner in a daze.

"Beep--squeak--little bean--" a sound came from outside the toy room.

Little bean Xiaoze turned his head and saw a chubby tail stuffed in from the crack of the door, swinging gently.

Teacher Alfred!

Little bean Xiaoze stood up and walked to the door.

Teacher Alfred was indeed outside the door, his two stubby front legs struggling to grab the handles of the plastic bag, "Little bean, come on, follow me."

The plastic bag falling in the air was bigger than Teacher Alfred, and a familiar fragrance wafted out of the bag.

Xiaoze wrinkled his nose, swallowed subconsciously, opened the door, and followed Teacher Alfred out.

They walked through the corridor and came to the dining room where they usually had meals.

There were rows of small tables in the dining room, and the armchairs were also children's versions.

There were no lights, and it was pitch black all around, and Xiaoze was a little scared.

Alfred was flying in front, "Little kid, it's so dark here. Can you think of a way to help the teacher light up?"

Xiao Ze scratched his head in distress, then carefully stretched out his fingers, with a faint light on his fingertips: "Is this okay?"

Alfred flapped his wings vigorously: "Not bad, as beautiful as a firefly. Let's go to the window!"

Xiao Ze pursed his lips and became happy.

No one has ever described his superpowers like this.

The moonlight is good tonight, and the moonlight pours down the window lattice, illuminating the small area in front of the window.

Alfred put the plastic bag on the table and breathed slightly: "I'm so tired."

Xiao Ze sat aside, carefully stretched out his fingers, and gently poked Alfred's belly.

It was soft and warm.

Alfred took a breath, then stood up and used his claws to pry open the plastic bag, "Little bean, open it and take a look."

Xiao Ze had actually smelled it, but he still opened the paper box in the bag as if he didn't know it. When he saw the children's burgers, French fries and soy milk that were still steaming, he exclaimed in amazement: "Wow!"

Alfred sighed, this was a bit exaggerated.

It was probably a reaction projected by the adult Xiao Ze's consciousness.

Growth is irreversible.

Even if the memory of adulthood is blocked, the behavior will inadvertently project the reaction accumulated from experience and reading.

Xiao Ze did not pick up the burger immediately, but looked at Xiao Panglong, "Thank you, Teacher Alfred."

Xiao Panglong was exhausted after shopping, and collapsed on the table, unwilling to move.

Xiao Ze lowered his head, his thick eyelashes fluttered like a small fan, and his voice was childish: "Mom said, let's go to the children's meal after work. Because today is my birthday. As long as Mom comes back, it doesn't matter if there is no children's meal."

Xiao Ze's voice became lower and lower, with a crying tone, and his tears fell on the table like beans.

He felt wronged and scared.

But he didn't know how to express it, and he didn't know who to talk to.

For some reason, the little teacher Alfred made him feel at ease and spoke his mind easily.

Alfred rolled over, resting his chin on the back of the little kid's dimpled hand, and spread his folded wings. He patted the little kid's arm and said, "I know. In the distant future, there is someone who loves you very much. He knows that you are in trouble, so he asked me to help you. Didn't I tell you that when we met this afternoon?"

The five-year-old child could not fully understand what Alfred said, but he felt happy instinctively when he heard that someone loved him, and he couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"

Alfred rolled over again. After a circle, he rolled to the plastic bag, picked up the box and said, "It's getting cold, don't you want to eat it? The person who loves you very much knows that today is your birthday, and specially asked me to bring this to you."

Xiao Ze was slightly stunned, then laughed, "I'll eat it!"

Alfred handed him a tissue, "Your tears and snot are mixed together, wipe it quickly."

Xiao Ze wiped his face himself and started eating burgers and fries, his calves shaking slightly under the stool: "Teacher Alfred, when can I see him?"

"Who?"

Xiao Ze: "The one you're talking about."

Alfred: "Well... when you grow up a little bit."

Xiao Ze opened his mouth and took a big bite of the burger in his hand, and said vaguely: "Old Si, I've grown up."

Alfred was amused by the little kid, sat up and gestured, his short and thick paws gestured up and down: "This little bit is not enough, you have to wait until you grow taller than the nanny."

Xiao Ze frowned, "Too long."

Alfred: "You are five years old this year, right?"

Xiao Ze nodded.

Alfred: "When you are twenty-two, you can see him. Twenty-two, minus five, do you know how long it will take?"

Xiao Ze put down the burger and raised his hands to do arithmetic.

Young children also attend classes at the daycare center, learning simple arithmetic and words, and gradually getting to know the world.

Alfred thought that two-digit addition and subtraction was too difficult for Xiaoze, but he looked up with a gleam of surprise in his eyes: "There are still seventeen birthdays to come."

"You are so awesome." Alfred flapped his wings, flew up and kissed Xiaoze on the forehead.

The little kid was shy, pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at teacher Alfred.

When Xiaoze finished his children's meal, it was already past the usual bedtime at the daycare center.

For some reason, the nanny did not come to find him.

Alfred took Xiaoze back to the dormitory and watched him climb onto the bed, cover himself with the quilt, and close his eyes.

After a while, even breathing sounds came from the bed, and Alfred whispered: "Good night, No. 1 cram school student Xiao Ze."

"Meow~Meow~Meow~" Erxin cried and gently rubbed the customer's trouser legs.

Xiao Ze opened his eyes and returned to the cram school.

He was a little dazed and looked around. He didn't see the owner. He looked down and saw the little black dragon curled up on the table. He slowly stretched out his hand: "Alfred...Teacher?"

Lu Yao was just outside greeting customers who were buying things. He came in and saw this scene. He smiled and said: "I'm right, this is the best cram school teacher in our cram school."

Xiao Ze retracted his hand and shook his head in embarrassment. Lu Yao

came over and sat down. "How does it feel to have your first tutoring?"

After Xiao Ze woke up, all the memories of his fifth birthday with Teacher Alfred came flooding back.

When he woke up for the first time there, he was actually conscious.

But he was sleepy at the time and fell asleep.

When he woke up again and met Teacher Alfred, his memories before the age of five were sealed.

Xiao Ze held his forehead with his hand, his mind full of images of him and Teacher Alfred.

His toes were tired, but he couldn't help but continue to recall.

The feelings in the memory were real and concrete, and they were still affecting Xiao Ze's emotions at this time.

He once again felt the powerlessness of his childhood, but the appearance of Teacher Alfred did save him from the wronged and helpless day when he was five years old.

"Will I really meet him?" Xiao Ze asked.

Lu Yao was sorting out the data from the first tutoring session. "Who?"

Xiao Ze: "The person who loves me the most." He

couldn't say it out loud. Lu Yao

leaned forward: "What? Express it well."

Xiao Ze lowered his eyes and stammered: "The person who loves me the most." Lu Yao

laughed: "You're talking about this. If you study hard, I think you will definitely meet him. What do you think? Do you want to continue tutoring?"

Xiao Ze nodded without hesitation: "I want to continue tutoring. I just don't know how long it will take?"

Lu Yao took He picked up Xiao Ze's spiritual key and stroked the patterns on it. "According to your situation, why not try tutoring for two more times? If the progress is good, you can probably see him on the fourth time. Of course, it depends on your condition and tutoring situation."

Xiao Ze had no idea how the owner defined his condition and tutoring situation. His interest was all in the next tutoring and... Teacher Alfred.

Looking at the little black dragon from an adult's perspective, I simply didn't know how to describe it, but I didn't reject it either.

After gradually waking up, what lingered in my mind was the time I spent with Teacher Alfred.

With the teacher's company, waiting seemed to have color and temperature.

Whenever he thought back to the past, his fifth birthday, which was full of gray, was dotted with tiny sparks of light, like the faint light emitted by a firefly.

Xiao Ze longed to rewrite all the gray memories related to his childhood. He also wanted to meet Teacher Alfred again, and he also wanted to see the person who loved him most in the world.

The person who did not exist in his current world.

Xiao Ze signed a tutoring contract with the store owner and received a bracelet with a miniature

version of his mind key. The mini mind key is a replica of the customer's real mind key, and serves as proof of being a tutor, similar to a student ID card.

Xiao Ze's mind key body, together with the tutoring contract and tutoring materials, was properly locked in a small drawer on the wall of the tutoring room.

The shop owner picked the first drawer in the lower left corner, put the key and information in it, and hung a small sign on the drawer, numbered "Tutor No. 1".

On the back of the sign was the tutor's real name and contact information.

Regarding the cost of tutoring, the owner looked up a lot of relevant information on the Internet. He charged five times the average fee of the teaching and training institutions in Sanhua City, and charged 5,000 Meng coins for one tutoring session.

However, time travel consumes a lot of energy, so the owner stipulates that the fee will be doubled if the tutoring session exceeds three times.

After locking up the information, Lu Yao stood up, "Okay, the next tutoring time is two days later."

Xiao Ze nodded and turned to go out.

There were customers outside, and Lu Yao followed them out.

Xu Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Ze and the owner coming out together, and she pondered for a moment, took a bottle of Zhimeng bubble water, and a box of Good Mood Glutinous Rice Cakes, "Owner, pay." Lu Yao

walked over to greet him. She was already familiar with this customer, who liked to bring people to buy snacks, and the male companion was different every time.

Xiao Ze saw Xu Xiaoxiao and the man beside her, paused for a moment, and walked out: "Lu Yao, I'm leaving first."

The owner waved his hand with his back to him, "Okay, see you next time."

Xu Xiaoxiao left with the man after buying things, and came back with things after a while, "Owner, did I leave my wallet in the store?"

Lu Yao sat on a chair combing Er Xin's hair, and took out a pink wallet from the second shelf and handed it over.

Xu Xiaoxiao took the wallet, opened it and took a look, put it away, and casually said: "Owner, I just saw a friend here, does he come here often?"

Lu Yao thought: "Are you talking about Xiao Ze?"

Were you friends?

When you meet, you don't even greet me politely, which is more strange than a stranger.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded: "We are neighbors, sometimes we play together."

Lu Yao didn't realize that the guest had a hidden meaning at this time.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled a little and continued: "Do you play together too?"

! ! !

Lu Yao understood something from her expression, and shook his head with a wooden face: "No. Mr. Xiao has signed up for a cram school here, so he comes over occasionally."

The system detected that Lu Yao's heart rate suddenly increased, and said: [What's wrong with you? Your heartbeat is so fast, are you uncomfortable? Lu Yao

covered his face: "It's okay, don't worry about me."

Xu Xiaoxiao was surprised, but also found it a little funny: "Tutoring, he is tutoring here? Tutoring what?"

Lu Yao put his mind at ease, stood up and took out a dusty flyer from the back of the shelf, flicked it twice and handed it over: "We here specialize in tutoring 'childhood' for customers, if you are interested, learn more."
