Chapter 1312 Life and death
"Xiao Jin, come out."

"Where are you?"

The little girl cried, "Can you please come out?"

"Small-"

"what!"

The child cried out in pain.

She wasn't paying attention and her toes hit the corner of the table.

In an instant, piercing pain swept through my whole body.

“It hurts. It hurts so much.”

The little girl fell on the bed and curled up.

Tears streamed down his face.

"Sissi?"

"Sissi, what's wrong with you?"

The mother heard the noise and walked into the room. Seeing her daughter curled up on the bed, she became a little panicked.

She hurried over and helped her daughter up, "Xixi, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Sissi?"

The mother's concern was like the straw that broke the camel's back for the little girl.

"Wow~"

she cried.

howling.

Full of grievances and sadness.

There are still doubts and confusions.

The little girl's father also came in.

"What happened to Sissi?"

The man touched the head of the little girl who was crying in her mother's arms and asked, "Why are you crying so hard?"

"What's wrong with this kid?"

Dad looked at Mom.

The mother was confused and distressed, "I don't know."

"I burst into tears all of a sudden."

"The child won't say anything when asked."

"In the end, I didn't tell my parents about Xiao Jin."

"Just told them I hit my foot on the corner of the table."

"It hurts."

Thinking of the stunned looks on Mom and Dad’s faces at that time, Hua’s mother’s eyebrows slightly curved, revealing a bit of melancholy, “Maybe it’s because Xiao Jin said that Mom and Dad can’t see it.”

"Maybe it's just out of spite."

"I was very angry at that time because Xiao Jin left without saying goodbye."

"There's a feeling of being ignored and left behind."

“We just became friends.”

The mother poked the little girl's forehead with amusement, "You are so delicate, kid?"

"You bumped your foot and cried so hard that mom thought something serious had happened?"

"You really scared mom and dad to death."

"Okay, stop crying."

"Mom has checked, there's nothing wrong with your little foot."

The mother rubbed the little girl's feet.

The little girl blinked her eyes, the corners of her eyes were hot, she grinned, "Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore."

For a period of time afterwards, even if she felt angry, the little girl would involuntarily look towards the piano cover when practicing the piano.

When I am resting, I walk around the piano room.

She left the window open even though it was hot.

Even though her forehead was covered with sweat and even slid down her chin.

She still stubbornly refused to close the window.

She was worried, what if Xiao Jin came and couldn’t get into the house because of the closed windows?
The little girl wondered if Xiao Jin had returned home.

Just like when she goes out to play, she must go home when the time is up.

If I come home late, my mother will be angry.

Did Xiao Jin come home too late that day, so Xiao Jin's mother got angry and didn't allow Xiao Jin to go out to play?
The little girl felt a little uneasy and guilty.

It was because she kept pestering Xiao Jin that Xiao Jin stayed with her and came back late.

She will definitely pay attention to the time next time.

but
no more chance.

She never saw Xiao Jin again.

"They are just children after all."

Hua's mother smiled bitterly, "As time goes by, I gradually forget about this matter."

"But when I heard Ayun talking about monsters, I suddenly remembered this incident."

"I had forgotten about it for so many years, but once I remembered it, I found that I remembered every detail of that day clearly."

"I remember Xiao Jin's appearance and voice very clearly."

Hua's mother was silent for a while.

The figure that seemed to appear in her childhood fantasy seemed to reappear before her eyes. The butterfly wings fluttered slightly, and bits of light fell.

She is like Alice who strayed into Wonderland.

Because of Xiao Jin, she reaffirmed her love for the piano.

Xiao Jin is her very important friend.

Even though they were together for only one day.

If possible, she really wanted to see Xiao Jin again.

Even if it is
"monster."

Hua's mother murmured softly.

Then she looked up at the young man opposite her, "Master Xiao, Xiao Jin is a monster, right?"

"My parents can't see Xiao Jin."

“I’m the only one who can see it.”

“I was young at the time and didn’t think much about it.”

"Xiao Jin can speak, but he doesn't speak directly like us."

"It speaks in a telepathic way."

"Its sound, I didn't hear with my ears."

"It's in my head."

"It's amazing."

"It also has a pair of beautiful butterfly-like wings, which are transparent and have beautiful golden edges."

"Except for Xiao Jin, I have never seen such a beautiful insect."

"Xiao Jin is not an ordinary creature."

"It's a monster, right?"

Hua's mother repeated her question again.

Xiao Xiao concealed the thoughtful look on his face.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I think so."

"After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so it's hard to draw a conclusion."

"But your description reminds me of a monster."

"What monster?"

Hua's mother asked without thinking, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

"ephemera."

"ephemera?"

Hua's mother and father said in unison.

"Is it the mayfly we know?"

Father Hua asked.

“They’re not the same, but in some ways they’re the same.”

"Something?"

For some reason, Master Xiao's words made Hua's mother feel a little uneasy.

"Life and death."

Xiao Xiao thought of the mayfly he had met, and his voice became a little deeper, "They are the same in this respect."

"Born in the morning and died in the evening?"

Hua's mother's voice trembled a little.

A hint of understanding flashed across Father Hua's brows, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao looked at Hua's mother's unbelieving face and the faint hope in her eyes, and nodded.

Hua's mother suddenly clenched her hands together.

"Xiao Jin is dead?"

She murmured softly, but her voice was a little hoarse.

"how come?"

She couldn't believe it.

The reason why she told Master Xiao about the memories she finally remembered after many years was that she wanted to ask Master Xiao to help her find Xiao Jin.

She wanted to see Xiao Jin again.

It doesn't matter if you never think about it.

Once she remembered, she was so eager to meet him that she was surprised.

She was looking forward to it.

She hoped to get good news from Master Xiao, but unexpectedly, she got
But it is bad news.

Xiao Jin is a mayfly.

A mayfly that lives in the morning and dies in the evening.

Xiao Jin is dead.

died
Born in the morning and died in the evening
In other words, Xiao Jin died beside her while she was asleep.

And she was unaware of anything.

"I do not know."

Hua's mother covered her mouth suddenly.
