The boy's heart skipped a beat, and his hand holding Xiao Hei tightened a bit.
No, no.
The boy shook his head.
He ran so fast at that time...
Despite soothing himself, the boy's heartbeat was still getting faster and faster.
He took a deep breath and walked to the door.
He carefully opened the door a crack and looked out.
Grandpa blocked his view.
Unless he leaned out of the door a little more, he couldn't see anyone behind his grandfather.
He is hesitating.
Fortunately, grandma later solved his doubts.
It was his two older brothers who came to see him.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but grandma's immediate question made him confused again.
Hit someone?
He didn't hit anyone.
There was no collision with anyone.
He thought it was just a misunderstanding.
The other party has found the wrong person.
As a result, he found that he had relaxed too early.
The two eldest brothers outside the door are friends of that sister.
They are here to find Xiao Hei.
They want to take Xiao Hei away!
"Bang~"
He closed the door subconsciously.
no!
Xiao Hei cannot be taken away by them.
Xiaohei is his!
…
The boy made up his mind never to open the door.
But what his elder brother said made him a little scared.
He didn't want to cause trouble to his grandparents, and he didn't want to go to the police station.
The teacher said that only bad kids go to the police station.
He hesitated.
Later, the big brother's assurance completely tipped the unsteady balance in his heart to one side.
Big Brother, they will not take Xiao Hei away from him.
They committed to him.
He confirmed again and again.
Finally, he opened the door.
…
"Brother, can you really help me find Xiao Hei?"
The boy looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.
"Now I know this is not your Xiaohei."
Meng Jixi muttered on the side.
"..."
The child pursed his lips and said softly, "It looks very much like Xiao Hei."
"I miss Xiao Hei so much."
"His owner misses him too."
Meng Jixi looked at the child's empty arms and tried to imagine that there was a black cat-like creature there.
The child turned his head slightly, not looking at Meng Jixi, but looking at Xiao Xiao with a worried expression.
Meng Jixi:......
"We'll help you find Xiao Hei."
"Give Huanhuan back to sister."
Naturally, Meng Jixi would not argue with a child, he directly stated his plan.
"Big brother."
The boy ignored Meng Jixi and just looked at Xiao Xiao.
That big brother is so fierce, he doesn't dare to look at him, let alone talk to him?
This big brother has always been very kind.
It was this big brother who said he would help him find Xiao Hei.
…
"Tong Hua, can't you give Huanhuan back to your sister first?"
Xiao Xiao asked again what Meng Jixi had just suggested.
"Xiao Hei is gone, you are very anxious."
"Huanhuan is gone, and my sister is also very anxious."
"Sister, my mood is the same as yours."
"And, Tong Hua."
Xiao Xiao's expression became a bit serious, "It's wrong to take other people's things."
"Not to mention robbing."
"Do you know what you're doing is wrong?"
Boy Nana.
His fingers dug into the back of his hand.
Even if he didn't think much about it at first, he now knows that what he did was wrong.
He actually stole other people's things?
He himself was surprised by his actions at that time.
But……
The boy hugged the black cat tightly in his arms.
This is Xiaohei...
"It's not Xiaohei."
As if he could tell what the boy was thinking, Xiao Xiao corrected him.
"It is Huanhuan."
The boy said nothing, but had a stubborn look on his face.
Meng Jixi was a little irritated, "Hey, didn't you just say that you wanted us to help you find Xiao Hei? Why do you think Huanhuan is Xiao Hei again now?"
"etc."
Meng Jixi suddenly thought of something, "You are not thinking..."
"Xiao Hei is back, please return Huanhuan to sister."
"If Xiao Hei doesn't come back, Huanhuan will be your Xiao Hei?"
The child still said nothing.
Meng Jixi burst out laughing with a "ha" sound.
"At such a young age, I am quite thoughtful."
"Little devil."
Meng Jixi frowned slightly, "Even if you can't find Xiao Hei, you can't take other people's pets as your own."
"What belongs to others is other people's. No matter how much you like it, it is not your own."
…
The boy's body shrank slightly.
…
"Tong Hua."
The child's eyes were slightly lowered and he did not look at Xiao Xiao.
"Do you like Xiao Hei very much?"
The unexpected question stunned the child.
He raised his head slightly for a moment, glanced at Xiao Xiao briefly, and then lowered his eyes again.
He nodded.
Of course he likes Xiao Hei.
He was a little confused as to why his elder brother asked this question.
"Then what you like is to find a replacement after Xiao Hei leaves?"
"Treat other cats to be Xiaohei?"
"If Xiao Hei knew... he would be sad, right?"
The boy moved his lips a few times but made no sound.
"What would you think if you were away for a while and found your grandparents calling another child Xiaohua when you came back?"
The boy suddenly clenched his fingers.
"I'm Xiao Hua."
"How come there are other Xiaohuas?"
The boy did not accept Xiao Xiao's assumption.
"Yes, Xiao Hua is Xiao Hua. There is only one Xiao Hua for grandparents."
Xiao Xiao said word by word, "Then Xiao Hei is Xiao Hei. What you like is the little black cat that has been with you for so long and even saved you, not other black cats."
"Not just a one-eyed black cat is a black cat."
"Isn't it?"
The boy raised his head and stared blankly at the big brother in front of him.
"Tong Hua."
"Xiao Hei is missing."
"In other words, he left."
"You can like another kitten, or you can call that kitten Xiaohei again."
"But, that kitten is not the same Xiao Hei it was at the beginning."
"If that doesn't matter, if you just want a one-eyed black cat, big brother can accompany you to the adoption station to find such a black cat."
"Xiao Hei and Huan Huan are not the only black cats like this."
"How about it?"
…
"..."
"Um?"
The boy's almost murmuring voice was so soft that Xiao Xiao actually heard it clearly, but still made a confused sound, "What did you say?"
"……no."
The boy's voice was a little louder, "No!"
The boy shouted, staring at Xiao Xiao with bulging eyes, "Xiao Hei is Xiao Hei, not any other cat!"
"Xiao Hei..."
"are different……"
"Yeah?"
"Don't you think Huanhuan is Xiaohei?"
"Huanhuan is not Xiaohei, you know."
"But you are looking for Xiao Hei's shadow in Huanhuan."
"Isn't it?"
"me……"
The boy was speechless, wanting to refute but not knowing how.
