Looking up, he saw the young man running towards the entrance of the park.

The young man also saw him.

"Master Xiao!"

The boy yelled.

The pace of his steps quickened a bit.

The schoolbag on my back hit my back, making a "pop" sound.

…

"careful."

Xiao Xiao grabbed the young man's arm and pulled him a little to the side.

A bicycle passed quickly.

"Thanks."

After thanking him, the young man realized something was wrong.

Why?

When did Master Xiao come to his side?

Weren't you at the park gate just now?

But these doubts were quickly overshadowed by the joy of seeing Xiao Yi.

"Xiaoyi!"

The young man saw the monster on Master Xiao's wrist at a glance.

The eyes that suddenly opened wide were filled with bright light.

"Xiaoyi!"

It’s really Xiaoyi!

The young man was surprised and happy.

The corners of my eyes felt vaguely hot.

"Xiaoyi, where have you been?"

The young man seemed to be complaining.

But there was a cheerful smile in his voice.

"I've been looking for you for a long time."

The young man stretched out his hand.

The vines stretched out and wrapped around the boy's wrist.

Then, the branches on Xiao Xiao's arms faded away.

The little one arrived on the boy's body.

…

The boy raised his arms.

The gloom that had been building up between my brows and eyes for many days was swept away.

The whole face was shining with too vivid joy.

"Xiaoyi-"

Xiao Xiao stopped the young man's next words.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

"ah?"

The young man was stunned.

Then he nodded hurriedly, "Okay."

He also noticed the non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians passing by by chance.

After all, it is the peak period when students are out of school and people are getting off work.

…

"follow me."

The young man understood Master Xiao's intention to change places, and he took Master Xiao to a secret base he discovered when he was a child.

A bamboo forest.

It’s not the other bigger bamboo forest outside the park that everyone knows

It is a small bamboo forest in a more remote location where few people come.

For a while, he always came to this bamboo forest alone.

It's for homework.

Observe and record the shape and growth process of bamboo.

…

"right here."

After wandering around in the park for a while, the boy started to get anxious.

The small bamboo forest in his memory finally appeared in front of him, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the last time he came to this bamboo forest was during his summer vacation after graduating from elementary school.

He had not been here for several years, and he almost thought he would not be able to find this small bamboo forest.

fortunately.

He found it.

"Master Xiao, let's go chat in the bamboo forest."

"Basically no one comes to this small bamboo forest."

"If you want to see bamboo, you will go to the big bamboo forest that you just passed by."

…

"good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

He found that the bamboo forest was also a highly "used" conversation location.

He has been to the bamboo forests in many parks.

Shaking his head in amusement, Xiao Xiao followed the young man into the bamboo forest.

…

"Xiaoyi..."

There was the sound of rustling bamboo leaves all around, and the young man finally felt at ease.

Looking at the monster on his wrist, he narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"……where did you go?"

After staring at Xiao Yi for a long time, the familiar touch on his arm that spread to his wrist finally gave him a real feeling.

The real feeling of returning from Primary 1.

He spoke slowly.

"Why did you disappear suddenly?"

"sorry."

The boy suddenly apologized.

The smile on his face turned into guilt and regret.

"I'm too slow."

"I didn't realize you were missing the first time."

"If I had found out earlier..."

"It's useless if you find it."

After hearing its words, the young man became more and more depressed, and Xiao Yi's body stiffened.

Xiao Xiao laughed.

"Xiao Yi means that you don't have to blame yourself."
