Then, the girl watched helplessly as her mother placed the fruit plate next to Xiao Chi.
At that moment, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
...
As a result, nothing happened.
Mom put down the fruit and went out.
Not a word was mentioned about Xiaochi.
She was confused.
After many tests, she confirmed that neither mom nor dad could see Xiao Chi.
At that moment, she was in disbelief and a little bit dumbfounded.
If she had known this, why did she hide Xiaochi so fearfully before?
…
Because she had tried before, she knew how few people could see Xiao Chi.
Xiao Xiao was the first person she met.
She has lost this magical ability.
Originally, her experience and her body were a dead end for her.
Unexpectedly, someone whom his son brought back at random could actually see Xiao Chi, and her dead end was no longer a dead end.
She saw hope of life.
…
"Mr. Xiao, please excuse me."
The woman changed her title and used an honorific.
Xiao Xiao's special abilities and the hope of life he brought to her were enough to make her grateful and respected.
"I'll get it."
The woman wanted to reach out and take the bag from Xiao Xiao's hand, but Xiao Xiao naturally avoided her.
"Auntie, I'll just come."
Regarding the woman's changed name, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Let's go back, Xiaochi should be anxious."
He couldn't help laughing when he thought that the monster looked so reluctantly disgusted even though he was obviously happy in his heart.
What a dishonest monster.
But it’s just this kind of temperament that makes him do something similar to “hating out of love”, right?
…
"That's right, let's go quickly."
The woman was no longer polite to Xiao Xiao.
She knew that the most important thing now was to make strawberry cake for Xiaochi.
Only by making Xiaochi happy can her body recover.
Only then can she continue to live, and only then can she continue to take care of her children.
…
Han Rui wanted to ask something when he first saw Xiao Xiao, but then he saw Han's mother speaking, and he fell silent again.
His mind is very confused.
Of course he knew that his mother could not lie to him.
However, this is too farfetched.
If his mother hadn't told him this personally, he would have definitely thought that the other person was joking or that he was playing a trick on him.
Xiaochi who is invisible to ordinary people but can only be seen by certain people?
Is my mother’s illness caused by Xiaochi’s punishment for not keeping her promise?
Then, as long as the other party fulfills her promise and makes him a cake, he will forgive his mother?
Obviously a second ago he was full of gloom and even despair, but in the end, a cake?
Why does he think it's a joke?
...
Back at Han's house, Han's mother didn't waste time and started making cakes quickly.
Compared to the awkwardness when she made her promise, the woman who has now made countless cakes for her children appears to be flowing with ease in every move she makes.
Xiao Xiao stood aside.
On one side of him was Han Rui, who had been silent since the way back, and on the other... was Yan Rui.
The red hedgehog-like monster watched the woman's movements with concentration.
Long-lasting memories are as if they happened yesterday.
The girl was lying on the bed, flipping through a book with various beautiful cake patterns, her face full of excitement.
"Xiao Chi, which one do you like?"
The girl tilted her head and looked at the red hedgehog next to her, her eyes sparkling.
She always thought Xiaochi was a mutated hedgehog.
"When my skills get better, I will cook it for you."
...
"How about this? There are strawberries on top."
"Xiao Chi likes strawberries the most, right?"
The red hedgehog looked at the beautiful strawberry cake on the album, and his whole body exuded an aura of joy.
It glanced at the girl and nodded its head somewhat reservedly.
"hey-hey."
The girl reached out and wanted to rub Xiaochi's head.
"Ouch~"
As a result, her hand accidentally touched the thorn on Little Red's head. The girl let out a cry of pain and grimaced for a moment.
Then she noticed that Xiao Chi seemed to have an awkward expression of concern, and the girl grinned again.
Only when facing Xiao Chi would she smile so wantonly.
She didn't mind the injury on her hand and stretched out her hand to rub Xiao Chi's head. This time she didn't touch the thorn.
There were still physiological tears in the corners of her eyes, but a big smile appeared on the girl's face again.
Yan Ru looked at the girl's smile in a daze, and couldn't help but grin.
...
After coming back to his senses from his memories, Yanli found that the prototype of the cake was almost ready.
The woman is squeezing cream.
Its gaze suddenly paused, "Gee-"
But after spitting out a sound, it closed its mouth.
It remembered that the girl could no longer see or hear it.
It took a long time to accept this fact.
And never forgot it again.
...
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao did not miss the movement just now.
He glanced in the woman's direction.
Is there anything wrong?
...
"...cheep~"
Huanru shook his head.
Xiao Xiao was sensitive to the feeling of loss on the other side.
Looking at the monster who suddenly felt depressed, he thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and gently touched the other person's head, "If you have anything you want to say, I can convey it to you."
...
Xuan Ruo suddenly raised his head and looked at the human in front of him.
There was obviously some movement in his eyes.
But in the end, it still shook its head and said, "Chirp~"
No.
"啳啳啳啳啳~"
It's different after all.
The monster's whisper made Xiao Xiao feel something. He did not ask further questions, but just replied softly, "After all, so many years have passed."
Time is different for humans and monsters.
For monsters, time is nothing, but for humans, it is a long enough time.
It's so long that they forget a lot of things they thought they wouldn't forget without even realizing it.
...
Yan Ru was silent.
Yes, that's why it doesn't like humans.
Life is obviously so short, but yet so forgetful.
It had just been watching with cold eyes, but after watching it for a long time, it inevitably became a little curious.
Therefore, when it found its own figure reflected in the girl's eyes, it let her get closer.
Unexpectedly, just being together for a short period of time actually made him miss him a little bit.
It's really...ugly.
...
"Mr. Xiao, the cake is ready."
A delighted smile appeared on the woman's face.
Xiao Xiao looked over and saw a simple but beautiful cake, neatly filled with brightly colored strawberries, which was very appetizing.
...
"Xiao Chi."
Xiao Xiao looked to his side, this was the real owner.
...
"ah?"
The woman exclaimed, then covered her mouth and smiled sheepishly.
Since it’s the strawberry cake that Xiaochi asked for, what’s weird about Xiaochi here?
It was only then that she truly realized that she really couldn't see Xiaochi.
