"Eat, have you finished eating?!"
The woman was stunned.
Obviously the last moment it was a complete nǎi cake without strawberries.
But in the blink of an eye, all that's left is an empty plate? !
The woman was surprised and confused.
Obviously in her impression... Xiaochi is about the same size as an ordinary puppy. Is its mouth big enough to fit a whole cake?
…
"Hiss~"
The young man rubbed the area on his cheek that he had just pulled. You could vaguely see the red mark, which showed that he had been quite heavy-handed just now.
The young man's eyes were a little straight.
The unchanged empty plate in front of him told him that he was right.
Even though he had already been a little numb watching strawberries disappear one after another.
However, the shock of a strawberry disappearing is different from that of an entire cake.
This scene once again told him that there was indeed a creature on the table that he could not see, which was the Xiaochi his mother called him.
"...a monster?"
The boy muttered to himself.
…
"What?"
The woman who vaguely heard what Han Rui said, but didn't hear clearly, turned to look at her son.
"mom."
The boy also looked at his mother, "Xiao Chi...is she a monster?"
After truly accepting the true existence of the other party in his heart and weakening some of the vague fear in his heart, the young man immediately made a subconscious guess about Xiao Chi's identity.
Isn't that a creature that can only be seen by so-called spiritual people, a monster?
Isn’t that what it says in the text?
…
"monster?"
The woman laughed horrifiedly, "You kid, how could you think so? Xiaochi is not -"
monster?
Her voice stopped abruptly.
So, what is Xiaochi?
Her expression suddenly became dazed.
hedgehog?
She had always thought so.
Mutated red hedgehog.
However, because others could not see Xiao Chi, it was very convenient for her to secretly raise Xiao Chi. After a moment of shock, she only felt happy and subconsciously ignored the weirdness.
Yes, how could Xiaochi be a hedgehog?
At least...not an ordinary hedgehog.
Otherwise, why can't others see it?
...
Not knowing what she was thinking of, the woman suddenly laughed in a low voice.
"mom?"
The young man looked puzzled.
"ah."
Seeing some worry in her son's eyes, the woman waved her hand and said, "I'm fine."
"I just suddenly thought of some things from the past."
"do you know?"
"My mother always thought that Xiaochi was a gift specially given to her by God."
"So mom is the only one who can see it."
"Xiao Chi is a kind of existence that belongs to her mother, similar to a special elf or a guardian beast."
"Isn't that childish?"
The woman pursed her lips in embarrassment.
...
"……Won't."
The young man twitched his lips and smiled stiffly.
He felt that his mother's heart was really big enough, and she didn't pay any attention to Xiao Chi's obvious specialness.
Also, exclusive elves, guardian beasts, etc. are indeed ideas only girls have.
...
"So, my mother never thought that Xiaochi was a monster."
The woman's eyes were a little dazed, "But after you said that..."
She paused suddenly when her wandering eyes fell on Xiao Xiao.
She almost forgot that there was anyone else in the house besides mother and son.
Thinking of what she just said, she smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, for making you laugh."
Mainly, there are too many things happening today.
She was a little overwhelmed with her son's affairs and Xiaochi's affairs.
...
"By the way, Mr. Xiao."
Thinking of her son's question just now, the woman looked at the somewhat mysterious Mr. Xiao with a hint of hesitation.
She knew that if anyone could answer this question, it would be Mr. Xiao in front of her.
Asking this question made her a little uncomfortable.
However, she finally asked.
"Xiao Chi...is it a monster?"
...
"yes."
Xiao Xiao gave an affirmative answer simply.
The woman in front of him was not an unrelated person, she had been getting along with Yan Ru for a long time.
However, their fate probably ended after the woman left without saying goodbye.
Even though Yan Ru later found a woman and wanted to return to the previous relationship, it was just a delusion after all.
...
"it turns out......"
The woman whispered, but fell into silence after saying two words, "...no wonder."
It took a long time before she murmured again with a hint of surprise and confusion.
No wonder Xiao Chi looks so strange.
No wonder, ordinary people can't see Xiaochi.
No wonder…
Xiaochi can make her sick all the time.
...
The woman's eyes were somewhat complicated and vaguely guarded.
How can such an ability to silently affect people's physical condition not make people feel jealous, even...fearful.
She couldn't help but pull Han Rui behind her.
She doesn't care.
Her body was already like this anyway.
It couldn't be any worse.
But Rarity is different.
No matter what, it's better for Rarity to stay away from monsters.
If something happened to Ruirui's body, she would really collapse.
...
The image of getting along with Xiaochi that was not so clear in his long-term memory seems to be a bit bleaker.
Xiaochi was her best friend in the past.
However, Xiaochi is also a monster.
...
And monsters, don’t they all hurt humans?
...
Xiao Xiao could see all the changes in the woman's expression.
If this wasn't obvious enough, the woman's next actions clearly showed her attitude.
...
Although the changes in women are not incomprehensible.
However, he turned his head to look at the monster who was looking at the woman quietly after eating the cake, and he couldn't help but sigh.
It was indeed the evil force that was wrong first, and its careless attack almost put the woman in a desperate situation.
No wonder women are afraid of it.
only-
The reason why this monster does this is that even the woman can't see it, but it still stubbornly stays here and beside the woman. What it covets is just the memory of the past.
It's just a trace of unwillingness and expectation in my heart.
It has no intention of harming women.
...
Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of a somewhat cheesy sentence.
It's all here, don't force it.
...
Although cheesy, it is a motto.
...
If Yanli hadn't found the woman, nothing would have happened.
The woman will not be ill for a long time, and Han Rui will not be caught by him for stealing.
And Yanli can always keep the best memories between it and the girl.
...
However, Xiao Xiao reached out and touched Huanlu's head.
If everything could be so rational, there would be no worries in this world, right?
Sometimes I know it's time to stop, but my body can't stop.
The longing in my heart cannot stop. (To be continued)
