|||->->Worried?
The old lady looked at the old man and then at the child.
Although confused, she said nothing.
She knew she would know the answer soon.
…
"Can't you tell your grandparents?"
The old man's tone was gentle.
The child shook his head.
no.
He was just a little embarrassed to say it.
"Is it about tigers?"
The old man's next words made the child suddenly startled.
"I got it right."
The old man smiled and said, "Besides being reluctant to let go, what are you worried about?"
The old man's question hit the nail on the head.
The child opened his mouth, a little sluggishly.
After a while, the child rubbed his cheek and whispered, "..."
"What?"
The old man touched his ears and said, "Grandpa and grandma are old and their ears don't work well."
"Leilei's voice is so soft, grandpa and grandma can't hear clearly."
The old lady rolled her eyes at the old man.
What does age have to do with it?
At the child's volume just now, a young person would not be able to hear clearly either.
…
The child took a deep breath.
The voice spoken again was slightly louder than before.
Fortunately, the two old men were prepared, and this time they heard the child clearly.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
The child's worries...are not unreasonable.
The old lady pursed her lips.
She actually wanted to say...it's good not to be able to see it.
No one could see it, except my grandson, who always felt uneasy.
However, the child is worried about this possibility.
Naturally, the old lady would not say anything to pour cold water on him at this time.
…
"Leilei, grandpa can't guarantee you anything on this issue."
The old man thought for a while, then slowly spoke.
The child's head dropped a little.
"But……"
The old man pressed the child's shoulder and looked at the child's raised eyes, "Grandpa thinks Leilei is a very lucky child."
"Leilei saw the tiger that few people saw."
"And became friends with it."
"This luck will last forever."
"real?"
The child's eyes widened.
Want to get a definite answer.
"Um."
The old man nodded, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxing, "And-"
"No matter whether we don't see Hu Zi later, the fact that you are friends will not change."
"Isn't it?"
"Or, if you can't see Huzi anymore, Huzi is no longer your friend?"
"Will you forget Hu Zi?"
"no!"
The child shook his head desperately, "I will never forget Hu Zi."
"Huzi is my friend!"
"Very good friends!"
"Isn't this enough?"
The old man patted the fearful child on the shoulder again, "Children, don't think too much."
"Just let nature take its course."
"Let's go."
"Your parents will be surprised if you don't go back."
"Why is there no one at home?"
…
"After that time, whenever I have a holiday, I want to go to my grandpa's house."
The old man's eyes, which were dazed by memories, gradually returned to focus, reflecting the look of the young man opposite him, "But that's not easy."
"My grandpa's house is in the village, quite far away from my home."
"It takes a lot of time on the road."
"Moreover, as we grow older, the pressure of academic studies also increases."
"My parents are increasingly disapproving of my frequent visits to my grandpa's house..."
He argued with his parents about this.
But when his parents asked him what he was doing at his grandpa's house, he remained silent.
Mom and dad can't see the tiger.
He knew it from the beginning.
Grandpa told him not to tell people who can’t see Hu Zi about Hu Zi.
He understood his grandfather's concerns.
He is no longer the child he was when he first met Hu Zi.
He also doesn't want to have troubles in his life.
In the end, all he could tell his parents was to visit his grandpa and grandma.
Perfect reason.
But he couldn't convince his parents to "let him go."
After all, he visited too many times.
…
The child was unwilling but helpless.
He desperately wants to grow up.
You can freely decide where you want to go.
…
The summer vacation after my senior year of high school.
He made a proposal to Hu Zi that he had been thinking about for a long time.
He went on a trip with Hu Zi.
…
Huzi agreed.
He was so happy.
He thought he would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade Huzi to temporarily leave the forest where he had lived for who knows how many years.
Although he did spend a lot of time talking.
In fact, he had some doubts. Did Huzi agree to his invitation to travel because he was too annoying and just agreed to shut him up?
Regardless of Huzi's reason for agreeing to him, they made plans to travel.
…
Unexpectedly, from then on, it was "out of control."
He and Huzi traveled all over the country.
Even abroad.
Huzi's size is naturally impossible to fly on a plane.
However, Hu Zi can be checked together with Salute.
The first time he saw Hu Zi appearing in front of him with a salute, he laughed for a long time.
Because of this, Huzi ignored him for a whole day.
Such a "painful" lesson made him never dare to blatantly laugh at Hu Zi again.
…
“We go to more off-the-beaten-path places.”
"Such as deserts, tropical rainforests, wilderness..."
The old man smiled and said, "After all, my companion is a tiger."
"Places with many people are always inconvenient."
"Moreover, with Huzi around, I can always go deeper into these places, and I can always discover a lot of beautiful scenery and interesting things that others can't find."
Thinking of his past experiences, the old man was full of emotions.
"I'm really grateful that Huzi appeared in my life."
Because of Hu Zi, his life will be so... magnificent.
Maybe a bit exaggerated.
But that's how he really feels.
"In the remaining days, Huzi, please give me your advice."
The old man turned his head to look at Hu Zi lying on the ground, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The monster just glanced at the old man.
Then he closed his eyes again.
The old man smiled nonchalantly.
After many years of getting along with him, he naturally knew the temper of his old friend.
…
"Xiao Xiao, it's really troublesome for you to listen to what an old man like me has to say."
The old man looked bright and had a smile on his face.
This was the first time he told anyone about Hu Zi since his grandpa and grandma left.
Talking about the story of how he met Hu Zi and their subsequent journey together.
I always feel that he is in a good mood.
Probably because someone listened carefully to his story with Hu Zi?
...
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "I'm glad you said this to me."
"Are you coming back now... and not going out?"
The old man came to the teahouse several times during this time.
Or a few days apart.
It doesn't look like he's going out.
...
The old man shook his head slightly.
"No."
"Even as I get older, I have no intention of retiring."
"I want to go to more places with Huzi..."
