"You don't have to go back to the store manager uncle."
Xiao Xiao released his hand holding the child's collar.
He winked at the child.
There was a smile in his eyes.
…
The little boy looked stunned.
Wha, what do you mean?
"……Why?"
"I don't mean to..."
The little boy raised his hands.
"Return the turtle to the store manager uncle?"
…
"because……"
Xiao Xiao waved to the child.
"Some recently."
People outside the child's current position can see his back.
…
The little boy obediently took a few steps closer.
…
Xiao Xiao was still squatting.
He looked at the little boy.
"Because this little guy doesn't belong in that store in the first place."
"In that case, why did you return it to that store?"
…
Why?
The little boy opened his mouth wide.
Wha, what do you mean?
"But the turtle is in that store."
The little boy didn't understand.
"I saw the turtle in the aquarium in that store..."
Why doesn’t this turtle belong to that store?
…
"You know why before, whether you turned your pants pockets out or the store manager uncle searched you..."
"They didn't even notice this little guy?"
Xiao Xiao is very patient.
It takes a lot of effort for adults to accept this.
What about a child?
And in addition to accepting it, the child must first understand it.
…
The little boy was stunned.
he does not know……
He was actually very confused at the time.
When he has no way to escape, no way to avoid... he can only turn his pants pockets out -
On the way out of the point, he stuffed the turtle into his pants pocket.
He is already desperate.
He was sure he was going to be discovered.
He couldn't imagine the consequences of being discovered.
His fingers trembled when he looked through his pockets.
result……
Things took a strange turn.
The store manager's uncle took advantage of him not paying attention and went through all two pockets on his body.
He was confused.
What made him even more confused was what happened later.
The store manager uncle... and others... grandparents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters...
Didn’t even see a turtle!?
He lowered his head.
Watching the turtle that was originally lying on the turned-out pocket slowly crawl onto his clothes.
That's where it was from the beginning.
Near the corner of the pants pocket.
He resisted the urge to reach out and cover the turtle.
He was worried that his actions would make the store manager uncle and others discover something...
…
But……
Quickly glancing at the store manager uncle who was right in front of him, the shock and confusion suppressed most of the fear in the little boy's heart.
He doesn't understand...
But it is undeniable that he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He felt very lucky.
He said something.
Both true and false.
It is absolutely true that the store manager uncle is very fierce and that he is afraid of the store manager uncle.
…
The store manager uncle really left...
The little boy couldn't believe it.
A moment ago, he had fallen into despair.
Who would have expected...
The next moment everything takes a turn...
never mind?
…
Until he really left, no one stopped him...
The little boy has some real feelings...
He is really fine!
He stretched out his hand to cover the turtle on his clothes.
He slowly picked up the turtle.
He clasped his hands together.
He hid the turtle in the palm of his hand.
…
He finally found a suitable place.
He walked quickly into the alley.
Here, he can finally release his emotions.
So much happened in a short period of time...
The little boy was completely overwhelmed.
Just as he grinned and looked at the turtle in his palm -
An unexpected sound reached his ears.
He was frightened.
…
Therefore, he was actually confused about the question that the elder brother mentioned.
But I haven't had time to think about it.
He was glad that he had escaped.
As for the reason...
It seemed insignificant at the time.
But now the big brother asks...
The little boy looked confused.
"yes……"
"Big brother."
The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at the big brother in front of him.
"Why...the store manager uncle and the others didn't see the turtle?"
…
"Because they can't see it."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The answer was an understatement.
…
The little boy was stunned.
"……ah?"
Can't they see?
"Why can't they see it?"
The little boy became more and more confused.
…
"Because this little guy is special."
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.
"So only special people can see it."
"You're the special person who gets to see it."
"Uncle the store manager and the others are not."
"This little guy ran into the aquarium in that store by himself."
"The store manager uncle has no idea that there is such a little guy in his store."
"The little guy has the right to stay and go on his own."
"It followed you."
"Of course you didn't steal it."
…
The little boy was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.
He shook his head.
"...Uncle store manager...and everyone can't see the turtle?"
"Am I the only one who can see the turtle?"
"wrong!"
Without waiting for Xiao Xiao's answer, the little boy shook his head.
He looked like he had thought of something.
"Jia Zhen'er also saw it!"
…
"Jia Jier?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Isn't this name just...
…
"She is my classmate."
The little boy explained seriously.
"Actually, I overheard the turtle thing from her."
The little boy whispered.
…
"Eavesdropping?"
Xiao Xiao cooperated with the little boy and lowered his voice.
…
"Um."
The little boy nodded.
"Actually, it's not eavesdropping."
"They were talking there."
"I overheard it."
Because I was interested in what Jia Zhen'er said, I didn't avoid it, but pricked up my ears.
"...Jia Zer said she saw a scary-looking turtle in a shop in the Flower, Bird and Fish Market."
"Looks different from other turtles."
"She also said that this is a secret between her and her eldest brother."
"What secret?"
The little boy sneered, "Didn't you say it yourself?"
"She also asked her friends not to tell anyone else."
"Said Big Brother wouldn't let her tell anyone else."
"She didn't even do it herself."
The little boy was talking and making fun of the little girl.
…
"yes."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"She didn't do it."
He could be sure that the Jia Zer in the little boy's mouth was the Jia Zer he knew.
In fact, he was basically convinced when he heard the name...
After all, it’s not easy to repeat a name with such a special name.
Xiao Xiao was a little emotional.
Is it such a coincidence?
The little boy in front of me turned out to be Nannan’s classmate...
It was also from Nannan that I heard the news about the turtle.
Xiao Xiao didn't have much feeling about Nannan's child not abiding by the agreement with him.
