"Thinking about it now, it's probably exactly the same as the way I looked at the gifts back then, right?"
Cao Xuan shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing the faint smiles on the faces of the girls, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You're just a kid."
"Isn't it normal to look forward to Christmas gifts and be excited about them?"
"Um."
The girls nodded, seemingly agreeing with Cao Xuan's words, but the curves of their mouths said it all.
Although they knew that the boy in front of them was right.
But because of the pictures that came to mind, they still couldn't control their smiles.
...
"What's that elk-like animal?"
A girl asked curiously.
"Lie on the window sill? It's very cute when you think about it."
Some girls' eyes sparkled a little.
"Wait a minute, which floor does your home live on?"
Some girls noticed something was wrong, "If it is an animal like an elk, it should have no wings, right? Then how did it get up? Did it jump up?"
"Is it an animal that escaped from the zoo?"
…
The girls were chattering, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Cao Xuan waved his hand slightly, signaling the girls to be quiet for now.
The girl ended her discussion and her burning eyes fell on Cao Xuan.
"I live on the sixth floor."
"Sixth floor?!"
The girl exclaimed, "What is that animal?"
"How did it get up to the sixth floor and lie on the window sill of the sixth floor?"
…
"What that animal is, I still don't know."
Cao Xuan spread his hands as he spoke, "I've read through many encyclopedias about animals, but I haven't found any similar animals."
"I believe what my parents told me more and more."
"What did I tell you?"
Several girls said in unison and looked at each other with blank expressions.
"Um."
A trace of trance flashed across Cao Xuan's eyes, "They said it was just a dream I had."
"There is no such thing as an elk."
"Not to mention that the animal was lying on my window sill staring at the presents under the Christmas tree."
"Hey~?!"
The girls opened their mouths slightly with surprise on their faces, "This..."
"Why?"
"Didn't you say you saw it?"
…
"Yeah, I think I saw it."
"But, according to my parents, when they came back, they saw me lying on the ground asleep."
"I do vaguely remember waking up in bed at that time."
"After I woke up, I subconsciously wanted to find that strange-looking animal."
"But it was never found."
"At first I didn't believe what my parents told me that it was just a dream of mine."
"I've lost my temper, even-"
Cao Xuan paused, then continued, "I even cried."
"I probably felt very aggrieved at the time."
"Because in my opinion, what I told is the truth and I didn't lie."
"I don't think it was just a dream of mine either."
"But they don't believe me."
"However, in the end, it seems that it was probably a dream of mine."
…
Cao Xuan nodded his forehead, "I have tried hard to recall the scene at that time many times."
"Children's memories are inherently bad."
"As time went by, my memory became more and more blurry."
"I don't even seem to remember exactly what the animal looked like."
...
"Oh~"
The girls looked a little regretful.
...
"Although it's just a dream-"
Cao Xuan smiled, "It was a very interesting dream."
"Now that I think about it, maybe because of Christmas, I dreamed about an animal that looked like an elk."
"It's a pity that none of them dreamed of Santa Claus."
Cao Xuan was a little regretful, which made the girls laugh and say that he was too greedy and was not satisfied even after dreaming about elk. They had never dreamed about elk at Christmas.
Of course, Santa Claus has never dreamed about it either.
...
"I never had a similar dream again."
Cao Xuan, who was "attacked by a group of people", looked innocent, "Maybe it's because he has grown up."
There was a hint of emotion in his voice, "This kind of fairy tale-like dream will never happen again."
...
"Yes, I also had this kind of fairy tale-like dream when I was a child."
“Exceptionally fun.”
"Now I don't even dream much."
"Ah, I have one too."
"Hey, I don't dream much. When I do, it's a nightmare."
...
The girls were talking a lot and were obviously very interested in this topic.
Although Cao Xuan said that he did not remember the details at that time, they would still ask Cao Xuan with interest from time to time when they thought of something.
Naturally, Cao Xuan knew everything he knew and talked about everything.
There are some things that I really can't remember, even if I were making them up, he wouldn't answer them.
Unless there is really no way to justify it.
Only then did he look annoyed, and then received collective comfort from the girls.
For a moment, the other boys were left out in the cold.
...
Zhang Bo curled his lips and moved closer to Xiao Xiao, "Third brother, Cao Xuan will never meet -"
His voice became lower and lower, almost silent, "A monster, right?"
Because of Xiao Xiao, he now easily thinks of monsters whenever he encounters something incredible.
Not only him, but Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng were also like this.
"have no idea."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "It's difficult to draw this conclusion just from the other party's words."
"Maybe as he said, he really just had a dream."
"oh."
Zhang Bo was a little disappointed, "I thought there was another monster incident."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Even if what he encountered was a monster at that time, it has nothing to do with it now."
...
Seeing that Zhang Bo was hesitant to speak, he continued: "The monster is not following him."
"Well......"
Zhang Bo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Okay, maybe I thought too much."
...
"Ah, it's snowing!"
The woman by the window accidentally turned her head and glanced out the window, her expression paused, and her face got closer to the glass.
Stars lit up in his eyes, his mouth opened slightly, and he shouted happily.
"Hey, is it true?"
"Snowing?"
"Really!"
"Snowing!"
"so beautiful!"
"Wow, it's a white Christmas."
"very nice."
...
The girls stood up from their seats and walked into the window. Their faces looking out the window were full of surprise and happiness.
The colorfully lit street outside the window looked even more blurry and gentle because of the falling snow.
Many passers-by stopped in their tracks, looked up at the sky, and stretched out their hands.
The coldness and softness of the snowflakes falling on the palms of their hands made the smiles on people's lips deepen even more.
The light from the street lamp shines into the eyes of pedestrians walking towards it, making their eyes seem like stars are falling into them.
...
Although the boys were not as exaggerated as the girls, they all looked out the window.
