"You...... What's the matter?"

I turned my head to look at him, and Li Hongbo was hiding behind a tree on the side, but apparently the width of the tree could not cover his entire body, so that nearly half of his body was outside, especially his head, probably to better see me, almost all of it was exposed.

From that face, I saw a harmless expression of innocent humans and animals, and those eyes also revealed the charm of innocence.

I think, if this is pretended, then this kid's scheming and acting skills will be really invincible!

Li Hongbo looked at me, saw me looking at him, and asked such a sentence, immediately felt startled, the whole person trembled, his eyes showed a cowardly look, and he walked out from behind the tree a little shyly.

What the heck?!

I looked at him and frowned.

Li Hongbo looked at me, and then, his gaze moved downward, and slowly moved his gaze to the cigarette in my hand, suddenly showed a peculiar expression, and licked his lips with his tongue weirdly......

What's wrong with you?!

"Come to the root?" I took out my cigarette case and handed it over as a courtesy.

Li Hongbo trembled again, and after hesitating for a while, he immediately ran over in small steps, and quickly pulled out a cigarette, because his hand was trembling and the strength was too great, and he also brought out two or three of the surrounding ones.

Look at the boy again, take the cigarette and then step back with the same small steps, and continue to look at me.

I looked at him, blinked, and took out a lighter with my other hand: "Are you sure you don't need this?"

Li Hongbo: "......"

So the scene just now was staged again, but there was only one lighter, and the others would not be spilled.

I watched him light the fire, put on a cigarette, take a puff, spit it out, the action was neat, it turned out that it was not the first time, I looked at him like this, I thought he hadn't smoked, and I was going to try it. Because I remember the first time I bought this thing, it was like this timid, like I did something.

But now it seems that he is not the way he looks because of this, is it ......

"You're not going to be a social phobia. ”

“......”

Li Hongbo looked at me and didn't speak, but his face was full of "how do you know" expression, which was very obvious.

Me: "......"

Although a little speechless, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that Li Xiao's tutoring is so strict, and the children he has educated will definitely have some such problems, such as not liking to talk, being introverted, and timid, which is basically a manifestation of social fear.

"Your tutor is very strict, it's okay, you can say anything to me, it's not good to smoke alone over there, come and sit!"

As I spoke, I went straight to the doorstep, patted the side, and motioned for him to sit down.

Li Hongbo looked at me vigilantly and resistantly, but he was still defeated under my smiling gaze, and made it to the stairs, but there was some distance from me.

When chatting with people who are afraid of society, you must respect them, and don't approach them unfamiliarly, so I didn't move the place, just sat down in the same position and said, "What, I can smoke, I don't bring a cigarette, I'm done smoking?"

Li Hongbo did not speak.

"Hmm...... It should be your grandfather who won't let you smoke it. ”

“...... Well. Li Hongbo nodded and agreed in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"I'm afraid that your grandfather will scold you, so I don't bring it, but looking at your posture, I don't want to smoke it secretly. ”

"......" did not speak.

"Won't your grandfather find out? Where's your grandfather now? If he comes over suddenly, aren't you finished?"

"......" still doesn't speak.

"Alas - I know, introverted, I don't want to talk, I won't persuade you to change, it's a kind of life attitude, there's nothing right or wrong, but we're also smokers, aren't you going to say something?"

“......”

"Forget it, don't talk if you don't want to talk, just leave after smoking, disperse the smell on your body, don't let your grandfather smell it, otherwise he will still scold you, go to a windy place, scatter quickly." ”

I said, throwing the burned cigarette butt on the ground and stomping it out. Although the two of us are the same age, why do I always feel as if he is seven or eight years younger than me, as if he is in his teens or teens, and I am playing with my younger brother?!

But looking at him, I also seemed to see me at that time, I was similar to him back then, and I had to find a windy place to blow the smell after sneaking outside, so I dared to go home.

It feels weird, how is it like the mantle of inheritance.

I shook my head helplessly, got up and was about to leave, but I didn't expect that just after getting up, Li Hongbo suddenly opened his mouth: "My grandfather ......"

"Huh?" I looked back at him.

Li Hongbo immediately trembled again, and his voice suddenly became three points smaller: "My grandfather is practicing in retreat, every day, two hours in the morning, afternoon, and evening, I only have this time to move freely, and I only dare to smoke secretly during this time." ”

As he spoke, his voice grew quieter and quieter.

"Oh—no wonder you came here by mistake. I nodded and asked again.

“...... Well. Li Hongbo was silent for a long time before nodding.

"Oh, that'......"

"It's not. ”

Me: "......"

Is this a bit slurred?

"Then you are ......"

"I saw that you were brought by the great lama, so I followed. Li Hongbo said.

"Ah, look at the excitement, do you hear anything?" I asked.

"I heard it, but I didn't understand it. ”

“......”

"What ascending dragon, what life, what is the top of all races, I don't know what it means. Li Hongbo said honestly, the expression on his face was indeed stunned and confused, not like pretending.

Besides, even if it's pretended, what can it be? He told Li Xiao to go, and if he couldn't prepare Li Xiao, he would have to come out like that!

"If you don't understand, don't think about it, you're also pitiful, what do Li Xiao's predecessors usually ask you to do?"

"Cultivation. Li Hongbo said. "Chop 500 times, lunge 1,000 times, round the body 1,000 times, Chongyan return 1,000 times, lift the dragon threshold 3,000 times, and run the mana Zhou Tian ......"

"Stop, stop, stop, okay, I know, that's not all for this day. I understand, it's just cultivation every day, right, my God, this Jackie Chan is too serious, is it so strict?"

"Hmm. Li Hongbo nodded, and there was obviously a look in his eyes that he wanted to escape this kind of life, but it was obvious that this idea was suppressed by himself the moment it was born.

This kind of feeling is very entangled, whether to leave this family that is physically and mentally exhausting, and at the same time abandon the care of his grandfather, and bear the pressure of being furious when his grandfather finds out and captures him, this is a serious problem, a difficult choice.

At least, Li Hongbo's brain, which has not been perfectly developed because of cultivation, cannot be pondered at all. On the contrary, because of this kind of thinking, he was a little more wooden, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand had burned out and began to burn his hand.

"Throw it away!

I frowned, quickly stepped forward and slapped the only remaining cigarette butt on the ground, and looked at him a little speechless: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, although it's hard, but I believe the results are also obvious, aren't you also known as a genius boy?"

"Uh...... Be. Li Hongbo looked down at the cigarette butt on the ground, then raised his head to look at me, and replied blankly.

"But ......," he added. "Grandpa didn't just let me practice all the time, he never let me practice at night, he would let me have a good rest, and he would give me a medicinal bath before going to bed, and he would also give me a pill when I got up in the morning, but he didn't let me drink alcohol, and I ate very little meat. ”

"That's right...... You give me your hand. I thought about it for a moment and said.

"Ah?!" Li Hongbo was startled, as if he had stepped on his tail.

"I'll try your mana!" I said angrily, and directly took his hand and poured mana into it.

Bang!

At this moment, I felt as if I had hit a wall while running forward!

The young man in front of me, his mana gave me a completely different feeling, rich, solid, continuous!

This is not at all what an ordinary cultivator can have, Zeng Xiujie, Gao Yan, Geng Xi, I have tried their mana, but this is not the case, if this Li Hongbo's mana is a stone wall, then their mana is like a cotton wall.

Even Tie Ning, this guy who refines power-based spells, doesn't have such mana!

Sure enough, they said that this Li Hongbo has the same strength as me, which is true. No, just from the foundation of mana, I haven't reached such a level when I ask myself, if it's really true, this Li Hongbo should also be able to reach the top ten positions on the Tianya list.

"Sure enough, I hope that my son will become a dragon, and it is really possible for Li Xiao's predecessors to cultivate a dragon, amazing, amazing!"

I dropped his hand and smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Of course, this action made him frown again, with a frightened expression, and moved a meter to the side.

When I looked at him like this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahahaha, you guy is really interesting, hey, you just said that your grandfather won't let you drink, your grandfather won't let you smoke, you smoke secretly, you will smoke, this won't let you drink, I'm afraid it won't stop you, this day three times a day for six hours of retreat, you should have done a lot of work." ”

“...... yes, yes. Li Hongbo stared and nodded.

I smiled, took out a bottle of wine from the system warehouse, looked at him with grinned teeth, and shook the wine bottle in my hand: "Do you want to sublimate our friendship again, from a smoker to a drinking friend?"

I looked at him, and he looked at me.

Finally, lured by my wine and under the smiling gaze, he was defeated again, looked at the bottle, swallowed, and showed the same expression as when he first saw him.
