Chapter 1,794 Fire
"Maybe I felt like I was running away a little bit?"
The boy smiled bitterly, "For a long time, I deliberately avoided being near that dance studio."
"I'm afraid of being embarrassed when I meet people in the dance studio."
...
"Xiaohuo didn't go again either?"
Xiao Xiao was a little curious. According to the boys, Xiao Huo was very interested in ballroom dancing.
"Ah, it can't find the road?"
Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered Xiao Huo's attribute of being a road idiot.
...
The boy pushed up his glasses again, "Maybe it's because he can't find the way."
"But it's not a big deal."
"I can take it with me."
The boy paused, with a helpless tone in his voice, "A small fire can easily become hot in three minutes."
"It's easy to become interested in one thing."
“It’s also easy to get distracted by new things.”
"And forget what I was interested in before."
...
"What a monster with personality."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
He almost wanted to meet this monster named Xiao Huo.
...
Hearing this, the boy seemed to want to smile, but his brows furrowed, "I wonder when I will find Xiao Huo..."
"How long did it take you to find Xiao Huo?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
"uncertain."
The boy shook his head.
"If you're lucky, you'll find it in a few days."
"If you're not lucky..."
The boy thought for a while and said, "The longest time I remember... I was looking for Xiao Huo for three months."
"Three months?"
Xiao Xiao thought that this was much shorter than the time it took the Frog God to find him.
It seems that Xiaohuo is not as good at running away as Lingxiao.
Too.
Xiao Huo likes to run outside.
Qingxing was so frightened that she ran away.
Thinking of the first time I met Ling Xie, he was so frightened that he ran around and ran rampant...
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes, blocking the smile in his eyes.
Now is not the time to laugh.
...
"Um."
The boy nodded, "Three months."
That time he was really anxious.
He almost went crazy looking for Xiao Huo.
During that time, everyone around him knew that he was looking for a bird.
They don't know that Xiao Huo is a monster.
But they all told him that it would be difficult to find the bird after it flew away.
He couldn't explain to them how special Xiao Huo was.
I just found it by myself.
They all shook their heads at him.
Just a bird.
Why are you so persistent?
No one understands him.
He understands.
I also know that my behavior seems a bit unreasonable to others.
No one advised him anymore.
Because he didn't listen to advice at all.
That period of time for him...
"What a nightmare."
The boy exhaled slowly.
...
"You found it."
The tone in which Xiao Xiao stated the facts soothed the boy's fluctuating emotions caused by thinking of that memory.
"yes."
The boy laughed and said, "I found it."
"When Xiao Huo saw me, it was as if I hadn't been missing for three months at all."
"Flyed to my side happily."
"I was a little angry for a moment."
"Xiao Huo has no idea how worried I am about it, how afraid I am of never finding it again..."
"It doesn't know anything."
"But when I heard the familiar cry in my ears, I realized that my anger had disappeared just like that."
"After all, it's Xiao Huo."
The boy raised his head and looked at the criss-crossing branches above, and a few rays of sunlight fell into his eyes.
"It's fine as long as it's okay."
"It's good that it's back.
...
"You like Xiaohuo very much."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Um."
The boy admitted it simply, "He is my friend."
"It...is also my savior."
"A savior?"
Xiao Xiao murmured softly.
There was a bit of questioning in his eyes.
...
"Um."
The boy turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "That happened when I was very young."
"I was nine years old then."
"It's a weekend."
"Dad is away on a business trip, mom has gone out to buy groceries, and I stay at home alone."
"I fell asleep while playing."
"In a daze, I feel so hot."
"There's a strange smell in the air."
"I woke up coughing on myself."
"When I open my eyes..."
The boy's voice paused, "I saw fire..."
...
The child's eyes turned red.
The tongues of fire swallowed wantonly, licking the curtains, cabinets, sofas... everything.
The child was stunned.
He didn't react until his skin felt the burning heat.
on fire!
He was panicked.
The next second, he hurriedly ran towards the door.
"Pap~"
The fallen cabinet blocked his way.
He was so frightened that he took several steps back.
...
The child looked around blankly.
Everything as far as the eye could see was filled with fierce flames.
The thick smoke made his throat itchy.
Eyes hurt.
Tears flowed down.
"...Daddy...Mom..."
"Dad, Mom!"
The child shouted loudly, "Dad, Mom-"
"Ahem~"
The child coughed violently.
A heartbreaking cough.
It almost feels like I can't breathe.
It’s just that the child’s heart is always calling mom and dad.
...
"I really thought I was dead at that time."
The boy smiled.
That's not a pleasant memory.
But because of what happened next, that memory became more than just painful for him.
...
The child fell to the ground.
The flames distorted his vision.
"...Dad, Mom..."
"......Help......"
Dimly, he seemed to hear his mother's voice.
Mom is calling him.
The faint sound made him unable to tell whether it was real or an illusion.
Even if it was an illusion, he still wanted to respond to his mother.
Mom, he is here.
Mom, save him...
However, he couldn't make any sound.
He couldn't even move.
...
"Zhizhi~zhizhi~"
......what sound?
The child thought slowly, with a bit of confusion on his face.
Rat?
The sound is somewhat similar.
But it seems different.
This sound... is crisper.
Like the cry of a bird.
Birdie?
The child wanted to laugh a little.
Why are there birds here?
Is it the sound coming from outside?
But......
"Zhizhi~"
It was like this voice was ringing in his ears?!
The child suddenly opened his eyes.
My vision was blurry.
He blinked.
A figure gradually became clearer.
Really...it belongs to the bird?!
The child's eyes widened in disbelief.
A bird with a body like flame...
how come?!
Why are there birds here?!
...
"Zhizhi~"
Seeing the child open his eyes, the bird flapped its wings happily.
It pecked the child.
The child was in pain, and his chaotic brain suddenly became a little clearer.
He glared at the bird angrily, "What are you doing?"
The child was stunned.
It's not because of my hoarse and unpleasant voice.
But...
Not hot anymore?
The child raised his head and lowered his head strangely.
My body is no longer hot.
He touched his neck.
My throat is no longer so uncomfortable.
Breathing became easier.
......what happened?
The child looked confused.
...
"Zhizhi~"
The bird pecked the child's face again.
The child touches his face subconsciously.
But I found that the peck this time seemed to be less painful than the previous one?
