There is also a super beautiful and special plum tree in the yard behind this teahouse.

...

Adding up all the reasons, the boy thought that maybe he could come to this teahouse more often in the future.

...

The tea is finished.

The snacks are also finished.

The boy is planning to say goodbye.

"Brother Xiao, thank you."

Thank you more often, now it is natural for boys to say thank you to Brother Xiao.

I won’t feel embarrassed or uncomfortable anymore.

Because Brother Xiao really helped him a lot.

He was really grateful to Brother Xiao.

Meeting Brother Xiao today, he couldn't help but wonder, is his fortune going to turn around this year?

However, even if there is no other luck, he is lucky enough just to know Brother Xiao.

He has never been a greedy person.

Probably...he has never been qualified to be greedy.

Be content and happy.

This is what he always tells himself.

...

When he reached the door, the boy paused.

The time in the teahouse was so enjoyable that he forgot about his own reality.

He stared at the teahouse door as if he wanted to burn a hole in it.

More like the other side of the door…

What kind of scourge is there?

...

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Xiao walked to the boy's side.

"Did you forget something?"

...

"Brother Xiao..."

The boy felt somewhat at ease inexplicably.

After all, Brother Xiao, who is older than him, can see monsters and is gentle and considerate, is indeed easy to make people trust him.

...

"Um?"

Xiao Xiao smiled.

...

"I......"

The boy swallowed.

"I'm a little scared."

Before he could react, the words in his heart had already blurted out.

The boy looked away awkwardly.

It's so embarrassing.

Although he has been accused by many people of being timid and cowardly, he actually doesn't admit it in his heart.

He felt that if they saw the monster he saw, they would be scared too.

They may not perform better than him.

...

To express his fear so directly... in his mind, there were only a handful of times.

And the targets are all parents or people with whom I have a lot of contact.

...

Fear?

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Xiao came to a realization.

"Let me go out with you."

...

The boy opened his eyes wide.

He looked at Xiao Xiao.

There was obvious surprise on his face.

...

"Let's go."

Xiao Xiao opened the teahouse door.

A little faint yellow light shines in.

Before I knew it, it was almost dusk.

You can vaguely see some sunset in the distant sky.

The rich colors are stunning to people’s eyes.

...

The boy was stunned.

Then he followed Xiao Xiao out of the teahouse.

...

He looked up and around.

People are coming and going on the street.

Yan Yan smiled.

The street lights flickered on.

Together with the afterglow of the setting sun, it illuminates the increasingly dark sky.

...

Everything is normal.

There are no monsters.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He turned his head.

"Xiao-"

The boy blinked.

Why does Brother Xiao look so thoughtful?

What is Brother Xiao looking at?

He followed Brother Xiao's line of sight and looked over.

Passers-by walking came into his eyes.

Further away is a boutique store.

Um?

He looked at Brother Xiao doubtfully.

"Brother Xiao, what are you looking at?"

...
