But......

No.

The boy did not find Xiaoyi.

......

After school, the boy searched again in school.

He also searched back and forth several times from the school to the station.

He also walked on the bus several times.

......

After getting off the bus, the boy's face was a little confused.

The sun shines on the face.

Even the afterglow of the sunset made him squint his eyes slightly.

......

The boy took a deep breath.

I found my doorstep from the station.

......

He stood at the doorstep.

The door was opened without a key.

There was even a faint feeling of despair in my heart.

He...can't find Xiaoyi...

If he can't find Xiaoyi...what should he do?

He suddenly remembered the days when he was alienated and even rejected by his classmates because of the teacher's "identity" exposed.

He didn't care at that time.

But whenever he was the only one, the uncomfortable feeling was like a maggot attached to the bones, which could not be driven away.

He told himself again and again that it was okay.

This is not his fault.

Even though there were several times he almost cried out in discomfort.

He devoted all his energy to his studies.

After class, you either do your homework or read books.

He began to hate physical education classes.

I especially hate team activities.

Because no one wants to team up with him.

Although he will not really be alone due to the number of people.

But it was really bad to feel disliked and come to team up with him only if you can’t.

He doesn't like it.

He hates it very much.

......

But with Xiaoyi it’s different.

No one talks to him, he can talk to Xiaoyi.

Because of Xiaoyi, he was happy to be alone.

In this way, no one would give strange looks because he had no control of his expression and accidentally said words.

......

The door was opened from the inside.

The boy was shocked.

There was even a look of horror on his face.

The woman who opened the door also showed a frightened expression.

“…Xiao Yi?!”

The two looked at each other silently for a while, and the woman screamed in a low voice.

"Why don't you open the door when you're back?"

Because she and her father were not off work, they gave the keys to the family when the child was still in elementary school.

Seeing that the child was still in a terrifying look, the woman slowed down, "Is this scared?"

"Who made you dazed at the door?"

"Come in first."

"Why is it so late today?"

The woman reached out to help the child take off the schoolbag behind her.

His brows frowned, "Look at you, your head full of sweat."

"Go to find something again?"

The woman thought of finding the boy in the station yesterday.

"I went to school so early today to find something, right?"

The woman's understanding of the word.

“Is it something very important?”

The boy slowly took off his shoes and slowly changed into slippers.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

Say it's not...

He has shown this...

Who is not really convincing.

But if he said yes, how would he answer his mother's next inquiry?

How would he explain Xiaoyi's existence?

Make up a lie?

His mind is now full of Xiaoyi who is missing and his fear of whether he can find Xiaoyi...

There are many miscellaneous associations...

He didn't have the extra energy to make up a lie that could be missed.

......

In the end, the boy just kept silent.

......

The woman sighed slightly.

A little concern appeared between the eyebrows and eyes.

But she didn't say anything about it.

She doesn't want to force the child.

Moreover, the more pressure a child is, the more he rebounds.

She patted the child on the shoulder, "Go back to the room and rest for a while."

"You can eat soon."

......

The woman's considerate made the boy feel a little relieved.

He felt grateful in his heart.

In order not to go home late, let your parents worry... and to have more time to find Xiaoyi...

The boy asked the teacher for leave.

The next few days are basically explained in the test papers.

His grades are very good.
