She smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I can't help it, Master Xiao, your image of a master is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
"I always feel that you should drink tea in a teahouse and understand life."
"Pfft~"
The deer laughed again.
Ye Zi responded quickly this time, "Did I say the same thing as you again?"
"OK!"
The deer nodded heavily.
She put her arms around Ye Zi's shoulders, her eyes curled into crescent shapes, "We are indeed good friends."
"How can there be such a tacit understanding?"
Ye Zi also smiled.
"I can't help it, there's just such a tacit understanding."
The two girls looked at each other and smiled.
...
"This little girl-"
Noticing the little girl hiding behind her friend, Ye Zi was about to ask a question when her eyes fell on the big bear doll held by the little girl.
"This doll..."
Her eyes widened.
"Cute, isn't it?"
Xiaolu whispered.
She was worried that the little girl would hear what she said and she would be even more reluctant to part with the big bear doll.
Then she is "sinful".
...
After waiting for a while but not receiving any agreement from her friend, she looked up strangely.
"......leaf?"
She noticed something was wrong with her friend's expression.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaolu asked worriedly.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Why is your expression so strange?
...
"no."
Ye Zi, who seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, shook his head hurriedly.
"This big bear stuffed..."
The little deer looked at the big bear doll in the arms of the little girl who was hiding behind her and "confronting" her mother.
"What happened to this big bear stuffed animal?"
Isn't it just a very ordinary doll?
...
"My niece once bought this big stuffed bear."
Xiaolu didn't quite understand what Ye Zi said.
"Isn't this... quite common?"
etc!
Xiaolu discovered the meaning behind Ye Zi's words, "You mean your niece bought... this big bear doll?"
"Is this this one?"
"Don't you mean the same one?"
"Um."
Ye Zi nodded, "I bought this big bear stuffed here."
"But even if they are all bought here, there is more than one big bear doll in the store."
"How do you know this is the one your niece bought?"
...
"look."
Ye Zi pointed his friend to look at the paws of the big bear doll, "Is there a bow tied with red thread on its left hand?"
"My niece tied that to the doll."
"My mother gave the child a red string bracelet, saying it could ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters."
"When the child saw it, he insisted on bringing a big bear doll with him."
"My sister-in-law couldn't resist her, so she took a red string and asked the child to tie a bow on the big bear."
...
"Your niece likes this big bear stuffed very much?"
Hearing this, Xiaolu asked hesitantly.
because.......
If your child likes this big bear doll so much...
Ye Zi smiled knowingly, "Do you want to ask, since my niece likes this big bear doll so much, why does this big bear doll appear here again?"
"Um."
The deer nodded.
"......Did something happen?"
She tilted her head, but couldn't think of a single guess.
...
"My sister-in-law returned this stuffed bear."
Thinking of the children's fuss at that time, Ye Zi had a wry smile on his face.
"Why?"
The deer was puzzled.
"My sister-in-law said this stuffed bear is unclean."
"Not clean?"
The deer looked surprised.
She knew that what the other party meant by being unclean was definitely not literal.
...
"Surprised, right?"
Ye Zi thought about the first time she heard this statement, her expression was similar to that of her current friend.
"My sister-in-law said that since I bought the big bear doll, the child's behavior has been... a little abnormal."
"abnormal?"
Xiaolu repeated these two words without knowing why.
"Yes, abnormal."
Ye Zi pursed her lips and said, "The child seems to regard the big bear doll as real."
"Isn't this a little kid's play house?"
The deer blurted out.
Ye Zi shook his head, "If we are talking about playing house..."
"You know... the kid said that Big Bear likes to eat nuts and honey, so he took out all the nuts and honey at home."
"It's nothing."
"But the next day, my sister-in-law discovered that there were so many big bags of nuts."
"It's all gone."
"Honey too."
"There was only an empty bottle left in the jar of honey."
"My sister-in-law is very angry."
"I thought it was the child who wasted the food."
"Otherwise, how could the child finish eating so much food in just one night?"
"Let's not talk about nuts, just talk about that jar of honey. No matter how sweet you are, you can't finish a jar at once, right?"
"But the child said..."
"Nuts and honey are eaten by bears."
"My sister-in-law is even more angry."
"I think the child chose to lie in order to avoid being scolded."
"Originally, she thought that if she ate nuts and honey, she would just eat it. Although she was very angry at first, she later became more worried about her child's health."
"After all, adults can't bear to eat like this, let alone a child?"
"I don't know if there will be anything wrong after eating so much..."
"As a result, the child lied to her."
"My sister-in-law is very angry."
...
"Maybe a little angry."
"But, my niece also had a lot of dolls before."
"But there is no doll that makes the child confused between imagination and reality."
"My sister-in-law insisted on returning this big bear doll."
"...Your niece is sad, right?"
After thinking about it, Xiaolu was not in a hurry to express his opinion on the matter itself.
Ye Zi's sister-in-law also has her own considerations...
"Um."
Ye Zi nodded.
"According to my brother, my niece got very anxious when she came home and found that she couldn't find the big bear doll anywhere."
"Later I found out that the big bear doll was gone, the child immediately burst into tears."
"My brother thinks my sister-in-law thinks too much."
"But my sister-in-law insisted."
"My sister-in-law just thinks this stuffed bear is not very clean."
"It will have a bad impact on the children."
That confident look made people believe her words.
but.....
Dirty stuffed bear...
Does anyone still believe this these days?
Ye Zi is confused.
It's just that the other party insisted, so she couldn't express her doubts.
It's just a stuffed bear.
They didn't pay much attention.
No matter what the problem is with this stuffed bear, it has been returned.
Ye Zi never thought that in such a situation, she would see the big bear doll she thought she would never see again.
It was inevitable that I felt a little bit emotional.
...
"Your sister-in-law..."
Xiaolu couldn't think of a more tactful word, so he could only change the topic, "I also care about the children."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Although to her ears, isn't it just that the child is taking playing house too seriously?
