Just like every time my sister found him in the past.
The boy in the woolen hat always liked the smile on his sister's face when he found her.
I also like the smile on my sister's face when she found him.
Therefore, he felt that if he found the other party...
The other party will also be very happy.
...
"Xiao Zhen..."
The woman in the white down jacket had a complicated expression, "I didn't expect..."
"You are so childish."
...
Boy with woolen hat:......
He lowered his eyes, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
All right.
It's not like he didn't guess his sister's reaction.
to be honest......
His reasons are indeed quite childish.
...
"...So, I am free to do whatever I want..."
The boy in the woolen hat murmured in a low voice.
"I just care..."
"It's just a coincidence anyway..."
When I hear people talking about monsters on the road, I will get excited and ask questions...
Speaking of thinking the other person is a monster...
As my sister said before, she didn't expect that he persisted for so many years.
He is the same.
He didn't expect that his sister had been denying him for so many years.
My sister will start to think about the truth of his words.
So is he.
Moreover, as a younger brother who has been frail since childhood and has always been taken care of by his older sister, his older sister has a greater influence on him.
He had been recalling and thinking about what happened that afternoon.
And what my sister said.
His sister is always on his side.
My sister rarely refutes his words.
Of course, there is no need to refute. Many times, he will respond to whatever his sister says.
There was a big difference between what his sister said that time and what he saw and experienced.
His sister said it was a lie when she initially told him there was a friend in the house who was playing hide and seek with him.
A lie in order to stop him from pestering his sister so that she could go out and play.
But......
no.
He actually played hide and seek with an unmasked friend.
Why does my sister say that friend does not exist?
Is it a lie?
He doesn't understand.
It was rare that he didn't listen to his sister's words.
He insisted that everything he experienced was real.
...
He is growing up day by day.
It's not like he didn't doubt his own experience.
But the stubbornness in his heart made him insist on searching even if he had doubts.
Maybe what he wants to find is not the friend he only got along with for a short period of time.
But an answer.
An answer that would allow him to completely let go of all these years of persistence.
One day, he accidentally heard an interesting story.
It was a boy who was happily telling his friends about his special experiences as a child.
...
"monster?"
"Pfft~"
"I can't tell, you are so childlike."
"real."
"Don't disbelieve it."
"And, tell me, other than the monster, how do you explain my adventure?"
"My grandma said that I encountered a monster."
"Say this is a rare fate."
"Let me cherish it."
"But my mother was worried that I might get caught in something dirty, so she took me to the temple without telling my grandma."
"Your mother actually believes it too?"
"People in your family...are quite traditional."
"What happened next?"
"Have you ever encountered...a monster again?"
"Pfft~hahaha~"
"Don't laugh."
“What an interesting experience.”
"It's a pity that I never met him again."
"...It's not really because my mother took me to the temple, right?"
...
monster......?
Boys with woolen hats feel like they are suddenly enlightened.
Could it be that... what he encountered back then... was also a monster?
That's why no one else noticed, only him?
...
He was very excited.
He didn't know if his guess was correct?
But for me, who has always been clueless, this is the direction I am looking for.
He started looking in this direction.
...
Especially after knowing that he might have encountered a monster back then, his determination to find the other person became even more urgent and determined.
Since the other party is willing to play with him, it means that the other party has a good impression of him.
If he could find each other that year, would he have a monster friend?
When he thought of this, he inevitably felt a little embarrassed and regretful.
Monster friends...ah.
Let me ask, how rare is this opportunity?
As a result, he didn't even see the other party's face.
How could he be so willing?
...
He wants to find each other.
Just want to find each other.
To make up for the regret that they didn't meet each other back then.
If the other party still remembers him, if the other party still has goodwill and good impressions of him, he also hopes to have more communication with the other party.
If the other party doesn't remember him...
Look at him like a stranger.
It doesn't matter either.
They can get to know each other again.
Otherwise, he would be happy just to see each other again.
...
Well......
What my brother said is not wrong either.
She has also seen it over the years.
My younger brother doesn't always come up to talk to strangers as if he's a different person.
Yes.
It's like he's become a different person.
Her brother's personality is not such an outgoing one.
After all, I have been frail and sick since I was a child and always stayed at home alone.
When I was in school, due to physical reasons, physical education classes became self-study classes.
You are also not allowed to participate in some group activities in the class.
Being always away from group activities, my brother's personality is naturally quiet and introverted.
Therefore, when she saw her brother step forward to stop a stranger for questioning for the first time, she was so shocked that she froze on the spot for several seconds.
She couldn't help but blink her eyes.
Is that somewhat dominant boy really her brother?
...
If the reason for her brother's behavior was not beyond her comprehension, she would be happy to see her brother change like this.
Of course, it would be better to be a little gentler in words and deeds.
...
However, there were problems with her brother's weird reason, and she couldn't let herself accept it calmly.
That is to say, their younger brother's situation has never been seen by their friends.
Otherwise, she doesn't know what her brother will be like in other people's mouths.
No.
She looked startled.
It’s not like my brother’s appearance has not been seen by acquaintances before.
That acquaintance is still her friend.
How could she forget?
At that time, her friend looked at her with a complicated expression.
Maybe he took her mood into consideration.
Her friend made an effort to raise the corners of his mouth.
But this forced smile made the other party's expression even more disturbing, at least she felt a little uncomfortable.
...
"What is your brother doing?"
"very strange."
...
The other party said these words in a joking tone.
She also raised her lips.
"It seems to be an after-school assignment in their school."
"I didn't ask too many questions."
...
"oh oh."
The other party nodded with understanding.
"School homework is getting more and more confusing now..."
