"It would be nice if you could explain it clearly."
"yes."
"The store manager is also very unlucky."
"What's the bad luck?"
"It was this child who was almost scared to tears."
"An adult and a child are so serious..."
"Such a bad attitude..."
"Didn't the store manager think this kid was a thief?"
"The attitude is almost understandable."
"So why didn't you apologize later when you found out that the kid was not a thief?"
"...It was also the child's performance that misled him..."
"Hey, an adult was misled by a child..."
"You can't say that..."
"To be honest, this child's behavior just now is indeed very misleading."
"Didn't we all think that this kid was really a thief at that time?"
"Don't you think so too?"
…
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
The little boy looked around.
The footsteps hurriedly walked in one direction.
…
The little boy seems to be looking for something.
His face looked a bit impatient.
Suddenly, the little boy's face showed a look of joy.
He saw a small alley.
He didn't hesitate, and his steps became faster and faster.
He walked quickly into the alley.
…
The little boy stood in the shadows.
He raised his hand.
Open and closed palms.
A "turtle" appeared in the palm of his hand.
…
The little boy grinned.
"My lord is so stupid."
"Are they blind?"
"Not even-"
"They are not blind."
An unexpected sound scared the little boy and almost threw the "turtle" out of his hand.
But the next second, the little boy hurriedly closed his fingers.
The other hand also covered it.
The little boy's hands were placed at his waist.
He raised his eyes and looked around with a wary expression.
"who!?"
…
Xiao Xiao walked towards the alley.
…
The little boy narrowed his eyes slightly.
The other party's face was gradually revealed in the sunlight pouring in from outside the alley.
…
The little boy raised his head.
He is a very tall brother.
"……Who are you?"
The little boy couldn't help but take a step back.
The next second, the little boy regretted it.
Here is a dead end.
Isn't he just like a turtle in a urn at this time?
The little boy became anxious.
"Who are you?"
The little boy yelled again.
"I do not know you."
This is a completely unfamiliar face.
The little boy promised that before today, he had no contact with this big brother at all.
so……
What is the reason for this big brother appearing here?
is for……
The little boy hid his hands further and further behind his back.
Is it for the turtle in his hand?
no.
The little boy pursed his lips.
He was able to successfully escape from such difficult situations before...
He doesn't believe it...
In the end, he fell short...
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I don't know you either."
…
The little boy was stunned.
ha?
…
"But I am familiar with the little guy in your hand."
Xiao Xiao's eyes passed over the little boy's fist on his waist.
"Last time I saw it..."
"It's still in the aquarium in the store."
"Um."
"It's the aquarium in the store you just left."
Xiao Xiao's tone was gentle.
…
The little boy still heard the thunder.
This big brother is really here for his turtle...
What surprised him was...
My eldest brother actually saw this turtle too.
I know which store this turtle comes from...
The little boy's whole body was tense.
The heart beats like thunder.
It seemed as if his chaotically beating heart would jump out of his throat in the next second.
…
"No……"
The little boy shook his head.
"no."
"You saw it wrong."
"This is my turtle."
"It's not from that store..."
The little boy's defensive words became lighter and lighter under Xiao Xiao's understanding gaze, until they disappeared.
…
The little boy suddenly felt very wronged.
His eyes turned red instantly.
"You adults know how to bully children!"
"Didn't you check everything just now?!"
"I asked you to search me!"
Although the fact is that the store manager quickly searched the little boy while he was not paying attention...
"You let me go yourselves!"
"What does this mean now?"
"You don't mean what you say!"
"You guys have gone too far!"
The little boy cried.
Big teardrops fell down drop by drop, hitting the ground and causing small splashes of water.
…
Xiao Xiao took a few steps closer to the little boy.
…
The little boy's crying stopped immediately.
The little boy backed away in panic.
"Plop~"
Accidentally-
I wonder if it’s not because of the weak legs?
The little boy fell backwards to the ground.
The little boy turned back quickly.
After confirming that the turtle in his hand was still there and safe, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
…
Xiao Xiao knelt down in front of the little boy.
…
The little boy closed his hands to protect the turtle inside, looking at the strange big brother with a panicked look on his face. Even though he crouched down, the shadow of his body still completely enveloped him.
…
The little boy's performance made Xiao Xiao feel that his role at this time was that of a villain.
He couldn't help but smile.
"I'm not from that store."
Xiao Xiao first makes one point.
…
ah?
After a moment's delay, the little boy slowly accepted and tried to understand what his elder brother said.
What's the meaning?
Big brother is not from that store...
…
"It's wrong to steal."
Xiao Xiao looked at the little boy.
His eyebrows are calm.
The tone is gentle.
…
The little boy was like a small animal whose tail had been stepped on, and his hair suddenly exploded all over his body.
"I-"
But soon, the little boy's voice got stuck.
"……I…..."
The little boy's voice was much weaker.
Why is he so unlucky...
One moment he thought he was the luckiest kid in the world.
Now……
He wanted to hit himself who had such thoughts a moment ago.
How lucky is he?!
…
"Do you know what you're doing is wrong?"
Xiao Xiao didn't pay attention to the child's futile struggle.
He said slowly, "You should know."
"Everyone in kindergarten knows this now."
"Your teacher, your parents must have told you many times."
"It's wrong to steal."
"It's the behavior of a bad boy."
"You will be arrested by the police."
…
"I-"
The little boy's body suddenly straightened and instantly slumped down.
The lingering sound dissipated in the air.
The little boy didn't dare to look at the big brother in front of him.
…
"If you know your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good boy."
Xiao Xiao gave the child a small step.
…
The little boy's hands had shallow veins appearing on the back of his hands due to muscle tightening.
He saw the turtle inside through his fingers.
He was stunned.
The brain became blank.
…
After a while, the little boy raised his head.
"As long as I admit my mistake..."
"I'm not a bad boy anymore... am I?"
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It's not right to do the wrong thing."
"But everyone makes mistakes."
"What matters is how you behave after you make a mistake."
