Chapter 1554 Substitute

"Xiao Hua."

The boy was stunned. Grandpa?

"Where are you?"

The boy looked towards the door.

"come out."

"Someone looking for you."

Someone is looking for him?

The first person he thought of was his sister.

Could it be that the sister came to visit?
The boy's heart skipped a beat and he tightened his grip around Xiao Hei.

No, no.

The boy shook his head.

He ran so fast...

Even though he comforted himself in this way, the boy's heartbeat was still getting faster and faster.

He took a deep breath and walked to the door.

He carefully opened the door a crack and looked outside.

Grandpa blocked his view.

Unless he leaned out a little further, he wouldn't be able to see who was behind his grandfather.

He was hesitating.

Fortunately, grandma solved his doubts later.

The two older brothers came to see him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but his grandmother's subsequent question made him confused again.

Hit someone?

He didn't hit anyone.

No one collided with anyone.

He thought it was just a misunderstanding.

The other party has found the wrong person.

As a result, he found that he relaxed too early.

The two older brothers outside the door are the sister’s friends.

They came to look for Xiao Hei.

They want to take Xiao Hei away!
"Bang~"

He closed the door subconsciously.

No!

Xiao Hei can't be taken away by them.

Xiao Hei is his!
……

The boy was determined not to open the door.

But what his elder brother said made him a little scared.

He didn't want to implicate his grandparents, nor did he want to go to the police station.

The teacher said that only bad kids go to the police station.

He hesitated.

Later, his elder brother's assurance tipped the unsteady balance in his heart completely to one side.

Big brothers and the others will not take Xiao Hei away from him.

They promised him.

He confirmed again and again.

Finally, he opened the door.

……

"Big brother, can you really help me find Xiao Hei?"

The boy looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.

"Now you know this isn't your little black one."

Meng Jixi muttered to himself.

"..."

The child pursed his lips and said softly, "It looks a lot like Xiao Hei."

"I miss Xiao Hei so much."

"Its owner misses it, too."

Meng Jixi looked at the child's empty arms, trying hard to imagine that there was a creature like a black cat there.

The child turned his head slightly, not looking at Meng Jixi, but just looking at Xiao Xiao with a worried look.

Meng Jixi: ...

"We'll help you find Xiao Hei."

"Give Huanhuan back to her sister."

Meng Jixi naturally would not haggle with a child, so he directly told him his plan.

"Big brother."

The boy ignored Meng Jixi and just looked at Xiao Xiao.

That older brother was so fierce that he didn’t dare to look him in the eye, let alone talk to him.
This big brother has always been very kind.

It was this older brother who said he would help him find Xiao Hei.

……

"Tong Hua, can't you return Huan Huan to your sister first?"

Xiao Xiao asked again about the suggestion that Meng Jixi had just made.

"Xiao Hei is missing, and you are worried."

"Huanhuan is missing, and my sister is very worried."

"My sister feels the same as you."

"Also, Tong Hua."

Xiao Xiao's expression became a little serious, "It's wrong to take other people's things."

"Not to mention robbing."

"Do you know that what you are doing is wrong?"

The boy hesitated, his fingers digging into the back of his hand.

Even though he didn't think much about it at first, he now knew that his actions were wrong.

He actually stole other people's things?

He himself was surprised at his own actions.

but……

The boy hugged the black cat tightly in his arms.

This is Xiao Hei...

"It's not Xiao Hei."

As if he could see what the boy was thinking, Xiao Xiao corrected him.

“It’s Huan Huan.”

The boy said nothing, but looked stubborn.

Meng Jixi was a little annoyed. "Hey, didn't you just tell us to help you find Xiao Hei? Why do you think Huan Huan is Xiao Hei now?"

"and many more."

Meng Jixi suddenly thought of something, "You are not thinking..."

"Xiao Hei is back, give Huan Huan back to her sister."

"If Xiao Hei doesn't come back, Huan Huan will be your Xiao Hei?"

The child still said nothing.

Meng Jixi laughed out loud.

"At such a young age, you are very thoughtful."

"Kid."

Meng Jixi raised his brows slightly, "Even if you can't find Xiao Hei, you can't take someone else's pet for yourself."

"Other people's things are theirs. No matter how much you like them, they are not yours."

……

The boy flinched slightly.

……

"Tong Hua."

The child lowered his eyes slightly and did not look at Xiao Xiao.

"Do you like Xiao Hei very much?"

The child was stunned by the unexpected question.

He raised his head slightly, glanced at Xiao Xiao quickly, and then lowered his eyes again.

He nodded.

Of course he likes Xiao Hei.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why his elder brother asked this question.

"So what you like is to find a replacement after Xiao Hei leaves?"

"You think other cats are Xiao Hei?"

"If Xiao Hei knew... he would be sad, right?"

The boy moved his lips a few times, but no sound came out.

"What would you think if you were away for a while and came back to find that your grandparents were calling another child Xiao Hua?"

The boy suddenly clenched his fingers.

"I'm Xiao Hua."

"Why is there another Xiao Hua?"

The boy did not accept Xiao Xiao's assumption.

"Yes, Xiao Hua is Xiao Hua. Grandpa and grandma only have one Xiao Hua."

Xiao Xiao said word by word, "That Xiao Hei is just Xiao Hei. You like the little black cat that has been with you for such a long time and has saved you, not any other black cat."

"Not all one-eyed black cats belong to Xiao Hei."

"Isn't it?"

The boy raised his head and stared blankly at the older brother in front of him.

"Tong Hua."

"Xiao Hei is missing."

"Or left."

"You can like another kitten, or you can call that kitten Xiao Hei again."

"But that kitten is not the same little black one as before."

"If that's okay, and you just want a one-eyed black cat, I can go with you to the adoption center to find one like this."

"Xiao Hei and Huan Huan are not the only black cats like this."

"How about it?"

……

"..."

"Ok?"

The boy's almost whispering voice was too soft. Xiao Xiao actually heard it clearly, but he still made a puzzled sound, "What did you say?"

"……no."

The boy's voice got a little louder, "No!"

The boy shouted, staring at Xiao Xiao with bulging eyes, "Xiao Hei is Xiao Hei, he is not any other cat!"

"Little Black..."

"are different……"

"is it?"

"Don't you think Huanhuan is Xiaohei?"

"Huanhuan is not Xiaohei, you know."

"But you are looking for Xiao Hei's shadow in Huan Huan."

"Isn't it?"

"me……"

The boy was speechless, wanting to retort but not knowing how.

My eyes turned red with anxiety.
