"Xiao Yi, could you please bring the little guy back to grandma?"
Xiao Xiao's words made the old man look at the young boy expectantly.
The old man couldn't help but stand up.
But because I had been sitting for so long, my legs and feet were already a little numb.
The old man tilted his body and was about to fall to the ground.
The old man's eyes widened and he saw that the distance between himself and the ground was getting closer and closer.
Things happened too fast.
A second ago, she was immersed in the joy of finding the little guy. At this time, she didn't even realize the pain she was going to experience next.
Suddenly, she found that her falling tendency had stopped.
She blinked.
Then I noticed the strength coming from my arm.
She was helped up.
She turned around and looked over, it was Master Xiao.
How come the person who was not far in front of her before suddenly arrived next to her?
She was a little confused.
But didn't care.
The old man laughed, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and his eyes narrowed into slits, "Thank you, Master Xiao."
She heard her granddaughter, grandson and the child Xiuxiu all call her that.
"I'm all right."
The old man felt the condition of his body.
The numbness in my feet has disappeared.
She stamped her feet lightly, "No need to hold me up."
"Be careful."
Xiao Xiao slowly let go of the hand holding the old man.
It was a critical moment just now.
He exhaled slightly in his heart.
...
"kid."
The old man walked up to the little boy tremblingly, "The little guy is a very important friend of grandma."
"So, can you give it back to grandma?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes also fell on the young boy.
...
The little boy put his hands on his knees and clasped them tightly.
The strength is getting stronger and stronger.
The little boy's eyes gradually turned red.
His face was filled with reluctance and even a sense of grievance.
The corners of his mouth were tightened and he remained silent.
There was still some luck in his heart.
Because, in the past, as long as he performed like this, he could get what he wanted every time.
...
There was a bit of panic on the old man's face.
She looked at the young man beside her somewhat helplessly.
As she got older, she couldn't stand the sight of a child showing such forbearance and grievance in front of her.
If it were other things that the child liked so much, she would give them to him as well.
But, the little guy is different.
If it hadn't been for the little one, when the child refused to be returned to her at first, she wouldn't have insisted on letting him go until the police station.
It's just that the look of this child...
The old man really doesn't know what to do.
...
"Tsk tsk, this human brat has talent."
The little white fox opened its eyes and flicked its tail, with an interesting look on its face.
"Hiss~"
White Snake twisted her body, and her soft voice was full of disdain, "Poor acting."
"That's right, when it comes to acting, who can compare to you?"
The tone of the little white fox's tone was unclear, and seemed to be both praise and sarcasm.
Xiao Xiao coughed lightly and glanced at the little white fox and white snake respectively.
Are these two monsters who are watching the fun arguing?
The little white fox snorted and turned his head.
The white snake spit out the snake letter, tied a bow on Xiao Xiao's wrist with its tail, then let go, and then tied another bow, repeating this process, looking as if it was enjoying itself.
Xiao Xiao:..........
He shook his head slightly, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
However, when he looked up and saw the young boy with his head lowered and shoulders trembling, the softness on his face gradually dissipated.
He turned his head and showed a gentle smile to the bewildered old man, "Let me help you sit over there first."
"Ah, but..."
The old man looked at the young boy with a hesitant expression.
"It doesn't matter, leave it to me."
Xiao Xiao helped the old man sit down on the chair opposite.
The old man followed the young man's lead and walked over. It wasn't until he sat on the chair that the old man felt a little enlightened.
She glanced at the particularly pitiful little boy, moved her lips a few times, and finally asked, "Is it... that I... the little guy..."
She still couldn't say the next words.
"unnecessary."
Even though the old man didn't finish his sentence, Xiao Xiao already understood what the other person wanted to express.
He looked at the old man's stunned face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "No need."
"As I said last time, the little guy stayed with you voluntarily."
"It wants to stay with you."
"Isn't the little one important to you?"
"Um."
The old man nodded without hesitation, "I always feel that the little guy is a gift given to me by God."
"When I was most lonely, it came to me, an old woman."
"We do everything together."
"Because of the little one, even if the children don't come to see me very often, I don't feel lonely anymore."
"Besides, because the little one disappeared last time, the children came to see me more than before."
"I am very happy."
"It's all because of the little guy."
"The little one is very important to me."
The old man said seriously.
The more she talked, the more reluctant she was to let go of the little guy.
"Since the little one is so important to you, then you don't need to give it up."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, "You like the little guy, and the little guy also chooses to stay by your side."
"This is enough."
"You don't need to think about anything else."
"Really?"
There was a faint light in the old man's eyes.
However, she glanced at the child over there. The child's red eyes and pursed lips made her face look a little gloomier again.
Xiao Xiao said nothing more, stood up and walked towards the young boy.
He didn't expect that such a young child could still be a "hard-headed person."
Today's children are really getting more and more powerful.
...
Xiao Xiao squatted in front of the young boy again, "Xiao Yi, are you going to go out and get the little guy now?"
"Or should I go out to find your brother now and get the little guy back?"
The little boy was stunned, his red eyes staring at the big brother in front of him.
Xiao Xiao remained unmoved and looked at him quietly.
"...It seems to be the second choice."
He stood up and turned to leave.
The tugging force coming from the corner of his clothes made him put down his raised steps.
He turned his head and looked down.
The little boy reached out and pinched the corner of his clothes.
If you press your thin fingers hard, you can see the veins emerging between the joints.
Nails turn white.
The whole corner of the clothes was pinched and wrinkled.
It can be seen how much strength this child used.
"Is something wrong?"
He asked, "Do you want to change to the first option?"
"..."
The little boy's voice was very soft, almost in his mouth.
Xiao Xiao didn't hear clearly, "What?"
"Why?"
The young boy suddenly raised his head, "Why not give it to me?!"
Xiao Xiao was a little funny, "Why should I give it to you?"
