Chapter 3430 Touched

Um?

The young man suddenly raised his head.

What?



"Do you feel any happier?"

The eldest sister looked at the little boy's seemingly bewildered face and repeated her question with a smile.



The boy was really at a loss.

first……

Someone did something to...make him happy...

Originally, he was very grateful that the eldest sister was willing to listen to his complaints patiently.

did not think of……

The little boy felt a sense of sourness rising up his nose.

The corners of his eyes were so hot that he couldn't help but blink.

A tear fell.

It hit his hand holding the flower.

He shrank subconsciously.

So hot.



"Aren't you happy?"

The eldest sister looked slightly calm.

"I thought you'd like-"

In her impression, most humans like flowers.

Especially when she remembers...

One night she passed by a house.

I was a little surprised to see so many humans gathered together.

Out of curiosity, she made a stop.

Observe those humans carefully.

Soon, she knew the reason.

It turns out that so many people gather together at night to watch a flower called Epiphyllum bloom.



A flash in the pan?

It's quite beautiful.



This time when she was thinking about how to make this child happy, she thought of the sincere smiles on those human faces at that time...

So, what did she do wrong?



"like!"

The little boy shouted hurriedly.

"I'm not unhappy!"

"I am very happy!"

"I'm really happy!"

Speaking of the latter part, the little boy's voice revealed a hint of crying.



"Yeah?"

The eldest sister was slightly startled.

Then he pursed his lips and smiled.

"Just be happy."

Sure enough, some human preferences are very similar.

For example, enjoy beautiful flowers blooming.



but……

There was some confusion on the eldest sister's face.

"Then why are you crying?"



"I……"

The little boy was just about to say that he wasn't crying when another tear fell.

He pursed his lips.

yes.

He cried.

Why was he crying?



"Because...because..."

The little boy's voice was choked.

He couldn't control his emotions.

When I heard the words from my eldest sister, "Do you feel a little happier?"...

He only felt turbulent emotions rising up.

It was like the waves hitting the rocks swallowed him up instantly.

He was a little confused.

Some were also frightened by their intense emotions.

He reached up and wiped the tears from his face.

As a result, there were more and more tears.

What were originally just drops of tears suddenly connected into a line and fell continuously.



"Do you really like it?"

The eldest sister couldn't help but ask questions.

"If you don't like it-"



"like!"

The little boy said loudly.

How could he not like it?

He liked it very much.



"You don't have to lie to me."

The eldest sister didn't believe it.

"I love how you cry so hard."

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I-"

I can give you something else.



"No!"

The little boy shook his head desperately.

He explained eagerly.

“I really like it!”

"I……"

"I……"

The little boy gritted his teeth and finally said, "I'm just so touched!"



"……move?"

The eldest sister blinked slightly.

"Will you cry when you are moved?"

She was a little curious.

She thought humans only cried when they were sad or in unbearable pain.

turn out to be……

Are there any other reasons for humans to cry?



The little boy thought for a moment that the question asked by his elder sister was strange.

But soon, he ignored the strangeness.

He explained carefully to his eldest sister.

"Um."

"People will cry when they are very moved."

"Haven't you ever?"

The little boy wrinkled his features and thought hard, trying to explain to his elder sister like a little adult.

"For example, when you read a book or watch a TV series and see a very touching plot, do you feel your nose is sore and you feel like crying?"



The eldest sister tilted her head.

"I haven't read the book, but I have watched a little bit of the TV series."

There are so many interesting things about humans.

Moreover, she is more interested in human beings themselves than in the things invented and created by human beings.



Why?

The little boy opened his mouth in surprise.

"Big sister, don't you like reading?"

He likes reading books very much.

Because when reading a book, he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the world outlined by the words.

Not disturbed by the outside world.

I can also forget a lot of annoying things.

He will be happy, angry and sad along with the characters in the book.

It seems that I have experienced the ups and downs of life along with the characters in the book.

very funny.

It’s also very desirable.



"Um……"

The eldest sister thought for a while.

"I can't say whether I like it or not."

After all, she hasn't read much about human books.

Maybe she likes it after seeing it.



"oh oh."

The little boy nodded.



"Do you only cry when you read a book or watch a TV series?"

The eldest sister asked curiously.



"Why?"

The little boy shook his head subconsciously.

"of course not."

There was a strange feeling in his heart again.

Big sister's questions seem to be quite strange.

He shook his head.

"Reading books or watching TV series are just examples I gave."

"There are many touching situations."

"for example-"



"Like you just did?"

The eldest sister answered.



The little boy was slightly startled.

Then he nodded.

"Um."

"Like I just did."

Because of the question raised by the eldest sister, the little boy stopped crying at some point.

The tears stopped.

His eyes were red and his nose was red, which made him look a little pitiful.



The little boy took a deep breath.

"I……"

He lowered his eyes.

Beautiful flowers caught his eye.

He couldn't help but look a little softer.

"not many people-"

"No."

The little boy shook his head.

"No one has ever asked me..."

"Do you feel a little happier?"

He always digests all his emotions silently.

Because no one cares.

Even his grandparents couldn't see his true emotions through his bravery.

he……

To put it harshly, I want to save face and suffer the consequences.

But he would rather say nothing than say something and get an embarrassing reaction from others.

He would rather stay in his turtle shell.

Even if it's so uncomfortable that I can't breathe.



"I am very happy……"

The little boy raised his eyes and looked at his elder sister.

He bared his teeth and showed a big smile.

Tears flashed in his eyes again.



The eldest sister looked at the little boy quietly.

The little boy's expression gradually became awkward.

The eldest sister smiled.

It is the gentle smile that the little boy is very familiar with, and his favorite.

"As long as you like it."



"If you like it, I'll give it to you next time."



The eldest sister's words made the little boy purse his lips.
