His face, which had regained some color, suddenly turned pale.
"I'm not......"
The boy's nails dug into the back of his hand.
There are shallow red marks floating up.
...
"Then have you made it clear to your friends that you don't like their practice of pushing you out whenever something happens?"
"Have it?"
Xiao Xiao looked into the child's somewhat dazed eyes.
Have it?
The young man worked hard to operate his particularly slow brain at this time.
Maybe not?
Memories from the past come to mind.
"Feng Ji, I'm sorry!"
The blurry figure clasped his hands together, bent down and smiled flatteringly, "I was so frightened just now that I said your name..."
What did he say then?
He said...it doesn't matter.
Because it's not that important...
The other party later bought him a can of Coke as apology.
...
Feng Ji suddenly smiled.
He just found out now.
At the beginning, they would apologize to him and compensate him.
But I don’t know when it started, it became natural for him to take the blame for them.
No more apologies, no more amends...
...
He has a really good temper.
Even if he was angry one moment, he would still go when they came to play basketball with him the next moment.
It's like nothing happened.
"...I have a really good temper..."
The young man murmured.
"You take all your anger out on yourself."
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "You later learned to find someone to vent to, didn't you?"
"Those stray cats or dogs?"
"Even...a monster."
...
The young man pursed his lips.
He really... couldn't stand it anymore.
If he didn't vent the accumulated emotions in his heart, he felt like he was going crazy.
...
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao laughed softly.
"Do you know what your current situation is called?"
"It's called...it's your own fault."
The young man suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Xiao.
Like a cornered animal.
There was a hint of rage and madness in his eyes.
...
"The current relationship between you is the result of your joint efforts."
Xiao Xiao didn't seem to notice the young man's emotions that were about to explode, and still spoke calmly.
"They are at fault."
"You are not completely innocent."
"Have you never thought about changing this situation?"
...
"Things like today..."
Xiao Xiao's eyes passed over the beautiful music box, "Tell them what you think."
"Tell them you are angry..."
"If they realize their mistake and sincerely apologize to you..."
"You can still be friends."
"otherwise......"
"If they continue to be vague and unclear..."
"I suggest you sever your friendship with them."
"Let yourself go."
"Also let go of those innocent cats, dogs, and... monsters."
...
Feng Ji pursed his lips.
Silent.
He also said similar words to himself many times.
Just every time...
He lowered his head.
The intense emotions slowly cooled down, but I felt a little helpless.
...
Melodious music suddenly sounded in my ears.
Feng Ji was stunned.
Then he subconsciously followed the sound.
Then, he saw the music box on Xiao Xiao's palm.
The melodious music came from it.
He opened his eyes wide.
The music box... isn't it broken?
...
Xiao Xiao motioned to the young man to extend his hand.
He placed the music box on the boy's open palm.
"Maybe I have better luck."
"I don't know where I touched it, but the music box started making sound."
...
how come?
The boy stared blankly at the music box in his palm.
The crystal piano casts a colorful halo in the sunlight.
It's not broken?
...
"Brother, the crystal piano is so beautiful!"
The childish voice of the little girl came from nearby.
Feng Ji was a little startled.
He lowered his head suddenly.
He saw the little girl who came to him at some point.
The little girl showed a bright smile to Feng Ji.
Feng Ji subconsciously showed a smile.
...
"Niuniu!"
A young woman ran over in a hurry.
"Don't run around."
The woman took the girl's hand.
"Mother."
The little girl's voice was crisp and clear, "Look, what a beautiful crystal piano."
"It also makes nice music."
"Mom, I want it too."
The little girl rubbed her mother's hand and twisted her body to act coquettishly.
"You."
The young woman stretched out her finger and tapped the little girl's forehead, "I want everything I see."
"This is a music box."
"Didn't dad buy you a music box before?"
"It's still your favorite pink one."
The young woman smiled apologetically at Feng Ji, and as she spoke, she was about to pull the little girl away.
"No, no."
The little girl refused, "It's different."
"Mom, they are different."
"I don't have a music box that looks like a piano."
"Mom, I want it."
"Mom~"
...
"You kid..."
The young woman smiled with a headache.
"Okay, let's leave first."
"You're disturbing others by staying here like this."
The young woman's hand became stronger.
The little girl suddenly let go of the young woman's hand and hugged Feng Ji's calf.
"Don't leave!"
"Unless mom promises to buy me one too."
Looking at the little girl hanging on his lap like a koala, Feng Ji blinked and was a little unresponsive.
...
"ah!"
The young woman was a little angry, "You kid, don't be willful!"
"Let go, big brother, do you hear me?"
The young woman smiled awkwardly and sheepishly at Feng Ji.
"I'm really sorry for this child's mischief."
...
"Niuniu!"
Young woman wants to tear the little girl off.
However, the little girl refused to cooperate. She screamed and twisted her body to avoid the young woman's hand, which attracted the attention of many people.
The young woman was also afraid of hurting the little girl, so she and the little girl were in a stalemate for a while.
...
"Niuniu, are you disobedient?"
The young woman knelt down and looked at the stubborn little girl.
"This way mom won't like you."
The little girl's face was tense.
His big eyes were slightly misty.
...
The young woman pretended not to see it and continued, "If you want to stay here, just stay here."
"Mom is leaving."
Seeing that the little girl puffed her cheeks and remained silent, the young woman stood up and pretended to turn around.
"Mother!"
As soon as the young woman raised her feet, the little girl shouted anxiously behind her.
The young woman hid the smile on her lips.
He turned around with a straight face.
"what?"
"Mom is leaving."
...
The little girl looked extremely confused.
The music in my ears continues.
She was about to look up at the music box, but found that the music box appeared in front of her eyes.
