Meng Jixi walked to Xiao Xiao's side and said, "It looks like it's not a suspense drama but a tender drama."
"Are you sorry?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"how come?"
Meng Jixi spread his hands and asked, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't mind watching the excitement?"
"but......"
Thinking of the situation just now, Meng Jixi sighed, "Xi Anya can't see the monster."
"Doesn't this mean that the monster recognized the wrong person?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the Chongming Bird outside the pavilion, "People can change."
"Many people don't see monsters all the time."
"Yeah?"
Meng Jixi also looked outside the pavilion.
The beautiful sunset became more and more beautiful.
The last afterglow lit up the sky.
Ambiguous and blurry light always makes people feel confused.
Therefore, he doesn't like dusk very much.
"That's a shame."
...
"Why doesn't it let Xi Anya see it?"
Meng Jixi retracted his gaze and looked outside the pavilion.
Didn’t Xi Anya see the feathers?
...
"because......"
Looking at the monster who turned his head to enjoy the sunset, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Xi Anya didn't find it."
"......ah?"
Meng Jixi didn't react for a while.
But soon, he figured it out.
After all, he is a professional.
"You mean, Xi Anya didn't find this monster through the feathers that fell to the ground...?"
"yes."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, "Just like they did when they were young."
The little girl picked up feathers along the way-
Every time she finds a feather, the little girl's eyes light up a little bit more.
Finally, the little girl found the big bird.
The little girl's look of surprise and bright smile at that time are what Chongmingniao will always remember.
it......
I really want to see you again.
...
Meng Jixi leaned back on the pole of the pavilion.
After all, he is not a child anymore.
Moreover, this monster is not very lucky.
The first time Xi Anya saw the feather was the most likely time to do what the monster wanted.
But that time, Xi Anya almost got into a car accident because of her feathers.
Later, the feathers that only Xi Anya could see appeared inexplicably... and then contacted the feathers that appeared every time there was a strange knock on the door in the middle of the night...
Xi Anya was afraid of feathers, even afraid.
She didn't want to see feathers at all.
Where can I find feathers again?
This monster is destined not to realize its wish.
...
"Master Xiao!"
Xi Anya ran into the pavilion panting.
If Xiao Xiao hadn't helped the girl's arm in time, Xi Anya almost fell down.
"Thank you, thank you."
Xi Anya gasped.
She ran too hastily.
Dry throat.
There was a somewhat sluggish feeling in the chest.
"Huh~huh~hu..."
...
After a while, Xi Anya calmed down.
She took a deep breath.
Slowly spit it out.
Then, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, this is the puppet!"
She couldn't wait to raise her hands.
...
Xiao Xiao was stunned when he saw the puppet in the girl's hand.
This puppet...
"Master Xiao, do you know this puppet?"
Meng Jixi noticed something strange in Xiao Xiao's expression.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
There was a bit of smile in his eyes.
"This is my friend's puppet."
"ah?!"
Xi Anya blurted out in surprise.
After all, it was really unexpected.
"Master Xiao, this is your friend's puppet?!"
It turns out...did she pick up the stuffed doll thrown away by Master Xiao's friend?
...
"Your friend's eyes..."
Meng Jixi glanced at the puppet in Xi Anya's hand with disgust, "It's quite special."
...
"One of those dolls he bought at the grocery store clearance sale."
"I didn't expect that he would actually hit one..."
Xiao Xiao murmured softly.
The smile in his eyes deepened a bit.
...
"clearance sale?"
Meng Jixi and Xi Anya said in unison.
The expressions on his face were a little strange.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao took the puppet from Xi Anya's hand.
"Is it this puppet?"
He held up the puppet so that the Chongming Bird could look at it more carefully.
...
Chongming Bird’s eyes lit up.
This is it.
It remembers it clearly.
After all, it was the little girl who watched the little girl make the puppet piece by piece.
...
"Yeah?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Then you should have heard it too."
"This puppet is not Xi Anya's."
"My friend threw it and she picked it up."
"And my friend bought it from a grocery store."
"Xi Anya is not the An An you know."
...
Chongmingniao stared at the puppet in Xiao Xiao's hand for a while.
Then, it glanced at Xi Anya.
Isn't it...?
No wonder it has never been found.
Chongmingniao suddenly felt a little happy.
...
Xiao Xiao thought that maybe he understood what Chongmingniao was thinking.
Are you happy that the little girl back then is not the girl in front of you who can't see it or find it?
...
But soon, Chongmingniao's expression became silent again.
This puppet...
Is the little girl lost?
Is it accidental or intentional?
It remembers...
The little girl is clumsy, not very patient, and is not very good at handicrafts.
I kept mumbling and complaining while making this puppet.
I accidentally pricked my finger while sewing.
The little girl almost gave up making this puppet.
That night, it carried the little girl to high altitude.
This is the first time it has carried humans.
The little girl is very happy.
She hugged its neck and said she loved it the most.
The joy was transmitted to its heart through their touching skin.
Its expression is softer than it knows.
...
The little girl finally made a puppet.
After all, it is homework assigned by the teacher.
The little girl was very satisfied with the puppet she finally made.
I have been proud of myself for a long time.
At that time, the little girl also said that she would keep this doll forever.
After all, this is my first puppet and most likely my last puppet made by myself.
...
Did the little girl lose the doll?
Chongmingniao doesn’t know.
The pale eye color is like the calm water surface.
"Want to know?"
The eyes of the Chongming Bird reflected the appearance of the human beings in the pavilion.
May I know?
Realizing the first reaction in his heart, Chongmingniao's sight shifted slightly.
But soon, it looked into the human's eyes again.
Um.
It wants to know.
...
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Let's try and see if we can find the answer."
"I can not guarantee."
"Is this okay?"
...
Chongmingniao looked at this human being intently for a while.
It nodded.
Can.
"......Thanks."
...
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched.
"When I really find the answer for you, you can tell me this again."
...
Xiao Xiao turned to look at the girl and shook the puppet in his hand.
"Xi Anya, can you give me this puppet temporarily?"
Xi Anya was stunned.
Then he nodded hurriedly.
"sure."
"No......"
Xi Anya was a little incoherent.
"This doll was not mine in the first place, I picked it up..."
"Since it is the puppet of Master Xiao's friend, then Master Xiao can help me return it to its original owner."
