Chapter 1524 Strawberry!

The girl opened her mouth.

Then he pursed his lips.

Go home.
If strawberry is going home
She seemed unable to even say the words to keep him.
Even as a child she knew it was important to go home.

So strawberries... do have a home?

She also thought that when she was older, she would tell her father that she wanted to grow strawberries.

And by that time, if she can take care of the strawberries by herself, her father should agree to let her grow strawberries, right?
But there is no future.

Strawberry is going home.

The girl rubbed her eyes again.

Wiped away the tears that flowed.

She didn't want Strawberry to leave.

But Strawberry has to go home...

The girl was very sad.

……

"Beep~"

The beast stretched out its claws, carefully retracted its sharp nails, and gently touched the girl's face.

Tears flowed onto its paws, and its body shrank slightly.

Such hot tears.

Are human tears so hot?

The monster was somewhat curious, yet also somewhat annoyed by the girl's constant tears.

Are humans made of water?
Why so many tears?

Keep flowing, keep flowing...

If it keeps flowing like this, won’t the body dry out?

The monster suddenly felt a little worried.

……

The girl was slightly startled by the touch on her face.

strawberry……

"Qiqi."

Xiao Xiao looked down at the girl in his arms, "Strawberry asked you to stop crying."

“It’s a joy to be home.”

"Should Qiqi say goodbye to Strawberry with a smile?"

The girl nodded.

It's a happy thing to go home.

Although it hurt a lot when her aunt hit her.

But there is a dad at home.

She likes dad.

Dad is very good to her.

She likes home.

Strawberries also like the ones at home, right?

The girl tried to raise the corners of her mouth, her eyes curved, but the smile she revealed looked more like crying.

It seemed that the girl also knew that the expression on her face was wrong.

She reached up and rubbed her cheeks.

Then, her mouth widened into an even wider smile.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't even say goodbye.

The girl wanted to cry again.

……

Xiao Xiao placed his palm on the girl's head and pressed it slightly, "Qiqi, you can speak."

The gentle tone was too matter-of-fact.

The girl was stunned.

Can she speak...?
Yes.

That's what her father has always told her.

Dad said she just temporarily forgot how to speak.

She would speak whenever she remembered.

But...how could she remember and speak?
She wanted to talk.

……

"As long as you want to talk-"

It was as if he could see into the girl's heart. Xiao Xiao's words made the girl think that she had really made a sound just now and then expressed her thoughts.

"You can talk."

Whenever she wants to talk...

Can she speak?
The girl opened her mouth, but remained silent.

Liar!

The girl was extremely wronged.

She wanted to talk.

But she couldn't make a sound.

She couldn't make any sound.

……

"Qiqi."

"Strawberry is leaving."

"Are you really not going to say goodbye to Strawberry?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the girl with a smile.

The girl looked at Li anxiously.

The red figure was still on the windowsill, which made the girl feel relieved.

……

"Beep~"

Li called out to the girl twice.

As Lord Xiao Xiao said, it is leaving.

The girl's tears made it feel a little overwhelmed.

And a little happy.

The time I spent with the girl... meeting the girl... and helping the girl... were all happy things.

I always feel that it has made up for some of the regrets of the past.

It has some inexplicable thoughts of its own.

They are clearly two different human beings.

……

This time, it was its turn to leave first. That's good.

After meeting and having a brief interaction, they each returned to their own tracks.

There was no need to be together forever.

The demon turned around.

The sun is just right outside the window.

Below, the grass and trees are lush and beautiful flowers are blooming.

It narrowed its eyes slightly.

It's really good weather for traveling.

……

Seeing that Li turned around, the girl became more anxious.

Strawberries are leaving?!

But she hasn't said goodbye to Strawberry yet!

My father said that goodbye means seeing each other again. If you say this when you leave, then you will definitely meet again next time.

She wanted to see Strawberry again.

She wants to say goodbye to Strawberry!
……

Li turned his head and glanced at the girl.

Little girl, don’t be so stupid in the future.

Otherwise, it would have helped her in vain this time.

It doesn't like wasted effort.

So, little girl, take care of yourself.

Don't be fooled so easily.

Humans are such cunning creatures.

How can the little girl be so stupid?

……

Li looked at Xiao Xiao again.

“Beep, beep, beep, beep~”

Lord Xiao Xiao, I'm waiting for you downstairs.

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

……

The demon turned his head back.

The next second, the girl's sight disappeared from the sight of the demon.

The girl leaned forward suddenly, "...Strawberry!"

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for a long time, the girl's cry was very hoarse.

It's also very light.

The volume was like whispering.

"strawberry……"

The girl didn't realize she made the sound.

All she knew was that she couldn't see the strawberries anymore.

The strawberries are gone.

Tears welled up in my eyes again.

She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Xiao Xiao's shackles behind her, and grabbed the windowsill with both hands.

Xiao Xiao tapped the girl's wrists lightly with his fingers.

The girl's hands, which were tightly gripping the windowsill, subconsciously loosened a little.

When the girl tried to hold on tighter, she found that she could no longer reach the windowsill.

The girl turned her head, her eyes red, her face full of anxiety and anger.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, and his expression was gentle.

"Look outside."

The girl was startled.

Look outside?
Is it...

She suddenly didn't dare to turn her head.

"Beep~"

A familiar voice sounded in her ears and the girl turned her head suddenly.

The next second, her eyes suddenly widened.

"strawberry!"

The girl was surprised and delighted.

He struggled to move forward.

Xiao Xiao took half a step forward.

The girl's hand touched the dog's head.

She gently touched the dog's ear.

The monster tilted his head slightly and twitched his ears.

The girl couldn't help but curl her eyes.

"strawberry……"

Then, she froze.

Just now...that voice...

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her throat.

Is that... her voice?

She hadn't heard her own voice for so long that she had forgotten what it sounded like.

The girl turned and looked around.

There was no one else in the room except her and Brother Xiao.

That is to say...

The girl turned her head and looked at Xiao Xiao, with disbelief and a faint glimmer in her eyes.

Did she make a sound?

Did she speak?

She just...really called Strawberry...did she?
A smile appeared on Xiao Xiao's face, with curved eyebrows.

He nodded, confirming all the child's uncertainties.

"Qiqi, you just called Strawberry's name."

Really?
The girl still didn't quite believe it.

Did she really scream?

Not in the heart.

But did you actually make a sound through your mouth?
