"I want to say thank you to the Maple Leaf Monster,"
"Thank you for giving it to me..."
The child holds up the maple leaf in his hand.
"Thank you for the maple leaves it gave me."
"So beautiful."
"I like it so much."
…
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He bent down and picked up the child.
He took the child back to the window.
"You can say thank you to the maple tree."
"It will hear it."
…
"Really?"
The child opened his eyes in surprise.
"Which maple tree?"
…
"It will be all right."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are slightly curved.
"The maple monster can hear it."
…
oh.
The child nodded.
Although I still feel a little unsure...
but……
The child quickly puts aside these uncertainties.
She believes in her elder brother.
Big brother is so awesome.
What the elder brother said is of course right.
…
The child opened his mouth.
"..."
…
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao lowered his head.
…
The child puffed up his cheeks.
Finger stirred.
"……some……"
"Excuse me."
…
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"No need to be loud."
"Even if you whisper..."
"Kaede is a monster and can hear it."
"It's a powerful maple tree monster."
…
The child's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
…
"real."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
…
The child looked at the maple forest with bright eyes.
The red maple leaves are gorgeous and dazzling.
She couldn't help but grin.
…
The child opens his mouth.
"...Thank you, thank you."
After working hard for a long time, the child finally made a sound.
"Thank you."
The sound was much smoother the second time.
The child lowered his eyes and looked at his maple leaves.
The maple leaf in her hand was carefully placed on the windowsill, and then she pressed it weakly with her hands.
…
The child raised his eyes again.
The big eyes are curved into crescent shapes.
"Thank you, Maple Tree Monster."
"Thank you for the three maple leaves you gave me."
"They are so beautiful."
"I really like it."
The shy and embarrassed child gradually became a little excited.
…
The child raised the maple leaf on the windowsill and waved it.
"Thank you."
The child's voice became louder.
"Maple Monster, you are so kind."
The child tilted his head.
"So happy."
"Maple tree monster..."
…
The child talked a lot.
Although many of them are repeated words.
You can see the child's excitement.
…
"Maple tree monster..."
The child's voice dropped.
The color in his tone became darker.
…
Xiao Xiao lowered his head.
See the child's furry head.
…
"I……"
The child's fingers carefully touched the maple leaf in his hand.
After a while, she raised her head.
"Can I give the maple leaves to my parents?"
"Three maple leaves."
"One piece of me."
"A piece of daddy."
"A piece of mom."
"I only keep one piece..."
The child murmured quietly.
…
"……May I?"
The child tried hard to curl up the corners of his mouth.
…
Looking at Maple Tree, who seemed to be unresponsive, the child nervously shrank his fingers.
She couldn't help turning her head to look at her elder brother.
"Big brother, the maple tree monster..."
"Are you angry?"
Because she said she would give the maple leaves given to her by the Maple Tree Monster to her parents...
She knows.
Others give what they give to others...
It really makes people unhappy.
She has had this experience...
The only time she went to a classmate's birthday party...
After knowing that she could go, she spent a week thinking hard about a birthday gift for him.
It took a lot of thought.
A lot of effort was made.
This is the first gift she gave.
She hopes the other person likes it.
…
The other party happily accepted her gift.
To her regret, the other party did not open the gift on the spot.
But this is true of all gifts.
So after the initial regret, she didn't care anymore.
She hopes that after the party, the other party will feel happy when they see the unwrapped gifts.
…
That day, to her, was like an unreal dream.
She watched her familiar classmates wearing beautiful clothes having fun, playing games, and eating cakes...
Her participation was limited.
There are many things she can't eat.
She can't play intense games.
She doesn't know how to play many games.
She was embarrassed to waste everyone's time teaching her...
They were obviously classmates of the same age, but she felt...
They seem to have many, many differences.
But she was still happy that night.
…
On the way home, I looked at the flowers folded out of lace ribbons given to me by the birthday girls at the party. There were two small bells under the flowers...
So beautiful.
When she goes to bed at night, the corners of her mouth are grinning.
…
Until one day, she saw the birthday gift she gave in someone else's hand.
From conception to production, she spent a lot of thought and time on the bracelet...
She heard their conversation.
…
“What a beautiful bracelet.”
"Where did you buy it?"
"Yingying gave it to me."
"I went to her house to play and saw how beautiful this bracelet was."
"She gave it to me when she saw that I liked it."
"I was a little embarrassed at first..."
"Yingying should be reluctant to part with such a beautiful bracelet..."
"But Yingying said she almost forgot about this bracelet. She has too many beautiful bracelets..."
"That's right."
"I guess so."
"Then I will happily accept it."
…
She didn't hear what was said next.
Her hands were shaking.
She tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened and returned to her position.
…
She buried her head in her arms.
She feels...
A little sad.
…
That bracelet really took her a lot of thought and time.
Although the gifts given out...
But that was a birthday gift she made specially for Feng Yingying.
It was her birthday wish to Feng Yingying.
result……
The other party gave her birthday gift to someone else so easily.
…
She lay on the table for a lesson.
Teachers and classmates all know her situation.
No one bothered her.
…
Then……
There is no more.
The child can only feel uncomfortable in his own heart.
I don’t dare to ask the other person why they want to give away their gifts…
She could only comfort herself...
The gift given becomes the other person's.
How the other party wants to deal with it is their business.
…
Um.
The child feels that he has taken care of himself.
actually……
I still remember it until now.
…
She didn't know if this was the right thing to do...
But she doesn't like it.
So, now, she will seriously ask Maple Tree Monster for his opinion.
If the maple monster doesn't agree...
Even if she regrets it, she won't do it again.
She didn't want to give her maple leaves and make the maple monster sad when she saw such a beautiful scenery.
…
There was a smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"No."
"The maple monster is not angry."
"Look."
Xiao Xiao motioned to the child to look out the window.
…
The child looked out the window subconsciously.
Just when she was about to wonder what her elder brother wanted her to see, she discovered...
