"Don't move, Auntie, your hands are dirty." Drew grabbed Ma Xiaoxiao's wrist, and after saying this, he let go of the other party's wrist.
Hearing Drew's words, Ma Xiaoxiao not only looked at her hands, but found that her hands were really covered with mud as Drew said, so she stuck out her tongue, squatted down and immersed her hands in the small pool to clean them.
"Auntie, are you and Xiao Hei going to have a wedding?" Seeing Ma Xiaoxiao squatting down, Drew also squatted down and asked Ma Xiaoxiao with his face sideways.
"yes, I'm going to have a wedding with Xiao Hei soon, by the way, you haven't told me your name yet?" Ma Xiaoxiao used the water in the small pool to wash away the mud standing on his hands, and asked Drew while shaking the water droplets on his hands.
Drew saw Ma Xiaoxiao shaking the water droplets on his hand, so he took out a cloth towel from his arms and handed it to Ma Xiaoxiao.
"Auntie, I'm Drew, I used to be your friend, wipe your hands with a cloth." Drew handed the cloth towel to Ma Xiaoxiao and said to her.
"No need, I can do it with a shake of my hand, Xiao Hei is not here, I can only use your cloth towel if he nods." Ma Xiaoxiao didn't reach out to take Drew's cloth towel, but just replied to Drew.
"Oh, that's right, forget it." Hearing Ma Xiaoxiao's words, Drew smiled wryly, withdrew the cloth towel in his hand and replied.
"Ah...... You just said that you used to be my friend, is it true? Ma Xiaoxiao, who was shaking his hands, asked with some hindsight.
"Well, it's true." Drew replied to this sentence. The expression was indeed slightly unnatural, because he felt that Ma Xiaoxiao had become what he was now, and he also had to bear some responsibility, if he didn't choose a position and only chose neutrality, maybe the outcome of the matter would be different, but. How could he have a neutral reason? He can't do that even now.
"Hey, since you said we were really friends at the time, then when I got married. Come and my wedding. How about I formally invite you now? Hear Drew's reply. Ma Xiaoxiao said to him with a smile on his face.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry aunt, I probably won't have time at that time, so. I don't think I have time to come over. When Drew said this, his expression became even more unnatural, but Ma Xiaoxiao didn't notice anything.
"Oh...... That's a pity......" Hearing Drew's answer, the corners of Ma Xiaoxiao's upturned lips finally turned into a downward curve.
Drew did not answer Ma Xiaoxiao's words, because his gaze at Ma Xiaoxiao at this time was indeed a little complicated......
If it weren't for that man's existence, maybe I would have sent my blessings to you and Xiao Hei, but the existence of that man made it impossible for me to go against my heart, aunt...... Do you know? The man had closed himself off on an island and lived alone for more than two years, so, I'm sorry for my aunt...... I can't watch you marry Xiao Hei and send my own blessings...... Because, in my heart...... I always think...... That man is the best and the best......
Although Drew fell into a brief silence, Ma Xiaoxiao happily teased Doudou and Maomao beside him.
"Auntie...... You can accept this, although I can't get it, but this necklace will be my wedding gift to you. As he watched the petite figure run merrily to the other side to chase the two donkeys, Drew rose from the edge of the waterhole and pulled out from his bosom the necklace that his mother had left him but had later re-strung with gold coins.
"Huh...... Is this a wedding present you want to give me? Since Xiao Hei agreed to make up Shi to find a wedding gift for me, there should be no problem in accepting you. Ma Xiaoxiao heard Drew's words, ran back to Drew from the two donkeys, took the necklace from Drew's hand with his hand, and said to himself.
"What are these round and shiny necklaces on your necklace, and there are human heads on them, did you carve them yourself?" Taking the necklace, Ma Xiaoxiao fiddled with the gold coins on the necklace and asked Drew in an exclamatory voice.
"It's just a currency that circulates outside, it's not something too precious, auntie, do you like this gift?" Drew saw Ma Xiaoxiao fiddling with the gold coins on the necklace, and he asked Ma Xiaoxiao.
"I like it." Ma Xiaoxiao replied.
Hearing Ma Xiaoxiao's answer, Drew not only breathed a sigh of relief, although he can get a lot of valuable and rare things now, but he still hopes that Ma Xiaoxiao can accept this necklace in his heart, which he thinks is more important.
Because the gold coin was shining with gold reflected by the sun, Ma Xiaoxiao turned the necklace in the direction reflected by the sunlight under the reflection of the sun.
Lifting the necklace to a certain angle, Ma Xiaoxiao realized that it seemed that the time for dinner was coming, and at this time, the door in the small courtyard was opened again.
"It's time to eat, Xiao Hei has already come out to call me, the gray wolf's craftsmanship is very good, you give me a necklace, I invite you to dinner, Drew, I'll take you to my house for dinner, do you say okay?" Ma Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Hei walking towards this side, and said to Drew, who was standing next to her.
"No, Auntie, let's do it another day, I have something to deal with right away, so I'll go first, you can go back to dinner quickly." After Drew said this, he glanced at Xiao Hei, and then turned and walked towards the way he came.
"Since Xiaoxiao opened his mouth to keep you, then you can stay for a light meal." These are the words that Xiao Hei, who walked near Ma Xiaoxiao, said to Drew, who was walking into the distance.
"No...... I'm grateful that you could agree to let me see her today, so thank you......" Drew said in Aboriginal and started his steps again.
"Drew, remember to come and play with me sometime!!" These are the words of Ma Xiaoxiao waving his arms and shouting loudly at the figure of Drew who was facing her.
"Auntie, hurry up and go back, I'll have time." When Drew said this, he didn't look back, he just paused, left the words, and took a step again.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, you see, this is a wedding gift that Drew just gave me, I think you should agree to let me accept it, so, I will accept it, like this, I'm smart, right?" After Drew's figure completely disappeared in front of him, Ma Xiaoxiao held the necklace that Drew had just given her with both hands, and said to Xiao Hei in an inviting tone.
"Well, it's beautiful...... Since he's given this to you, you can keep it. After Xiao Hei said this, he wrapped a hand around Ma Xiaoxiao's shoulder and led her towards the direction of the small courtyard.
"Blackie's right, I'm going to put it in my drawer so I can find it as soon as I want to." When Ma Xiaoxiao said this, she had been carried into the courtyard by Xiao Hei, and Drew, who was hidden in the depths of the woods, saw that the courtyard door was finally slowly closed, he stood for a long time again, and finally took another step and walked out towards the way he came.
