Chapter 181: Mr. Zhou’s phone call is a strange one (Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"It is raining again."

Xiao's mother looked out the window. The heavy rain was hitting the window, leaving streaks of water.

The sky was gloomy and overcast with dark clouds.

From time to time, lightning flashes across the sky, illuminating the world.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao sat at the table, with a pot of tea emitting curls of white smoke.

Because of the frequent heavy rains these days, the teahouse's business has become much quieter.

Xiao's mother didn't let Xiao Xiao help and asked him to read the book by himself.

Xiao Xiao took a book, brewed a pot of tea, picked a seat by the window, and enjoyed himself reading and drinking tea.

In fact, in his opinion, when it rains heavily, it is really a very enjoyable thing to sit by the window of the teahouse, drink tea, read books and listen to the sound of rain outside the window.

The subtle fragrance of tea lingers around your nose, and a sense of tranquility quietly spreads.

The sound of rain outside the window makes the fragrance of tea inside the window more quiet.

……

Summer rainstorms always make people feel refreshed.

The hot air was somewhat relieved and felt a little cooler.

Although a sudden heavy rain may not be such a good "gift" for people who are outside.

Xiao Xiao often saw people running wildly in the rain, or hiding under the eaves, looking at the sky with a bit of anxiety and annoyance.

……

It was obviously not a rainy day today. When Xiao Xiao finished reading the book in his hand and looked up, he found that it was still raining heavily outside the window.

It actually rained for so long?
"Xiaoxiao."

"?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao's mother who was walking over, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Mr. Zhou called just now and said that the baby has a fever, but keeps asking to play with Brother Xiao Xiao, so..."

"I understand, I'll go over now."

Xiao Xiao didn't hesitate too much. He went to the back to get an umbrella and was about to go out.

"It's raining so hard, be careful on the road."

Xiao's mother gave a worried reminder.

"Got it. I'm leaving now."

When I opened the door, strong wind and heavy rain came in, and the sound of the rain was noisy.

There was a chill in the air.

Then he closed the door, opened the umbrella and walked out.

Despite strong winds and heavy rain, the umbrella in Xiao Xiao's hand did not move at all.

Unlike the umbrellas that were tilting here and there around him, revealing the anxious and embarrassed faces underneath.

……

Xiao Xiao soon arrived at Grandpa Zhou's house.

After all, it's not the first time.

"Ding dong~"

The next second the doorbell rang, the door was opened.

"Xiaoxiao is here?"

"come on in."

"It's so rainy. I'm sorry."

"But the baby keeps asking to see you, and he has a fever, so we can't take him out."

……

Mr. Zhou quickly let Xiao Xiao in and was busy getting him shoes, muttering to himself.

If there was no other way, he wouldn't want Xiaoxiao to come here.

It’s raining so hard, it’s really troublesome for the children.

However, the couple already felt guilty about their grandson. The baby had suffered so much before because of their negligence. Now that the baby is finally healed, they are watching him all the time, fearing that there will be any more mishaps.

They were a little worried because the baby had a fever.

But they didn't make a big deal about it, knowing that the baby had caught a cold due to the weather changes in the past few days, and that he would be fine after taking some medicine and sweating.

But looking at the baby's red little face, crying and asking Brother Xiao Xiao to play with him, how could the Zhou couple refuse?

So, the old couple hesitated for a long time and finally made the call.

They really felt very sorry for Xiao Xiao.

……

"It's okay, Grandpa Zhou, I miss the baby too."

"Is his cold okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little fever for a child, it will be fine after taking some medicine."

"After waking up from a nap, he started to make a fuss and wanted to play with you." "No matter how much I persuade him, he won't listen."

Mr. Zhou was helpless about this.

However, when they heard the baby's crying voice, the old couple's hearts were wrenched. What was there to not agree to?

I had no choice but to swallow my pride and make the phone call.

……

"Grandma Zhou."

"Xiaoxiao, I'm really sorry to bother you. So..."

"Brother Xiao Xiao!"

Before Grandma Zhou could finish her words, the baby jumped up from the bed and rushed towards Xiao Xiao when he saw his beloved brother Xiao Xiao.

"Baby."

Xiao Xiao caught the child.

"This kid."

Grandma Zhou could only smile and scold helplessly, but her eyes were full of kindness.

……

Xiao Xiao discovered something when he was playing with the baby.

Although the baby can see Chimei and Xinang, he seems unable to see Feifei and Taotie?

Why is that?
Last time, I didn't react immediately.

Xiao Xiao looked at Feifei who was lying on his shoulder, and the weight on his head also told him that Taotie was lying there.

But the baby seemed to notice nothing?

Can you only see certain monsters?
Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of Su Youjin, this girl who could only see ear mice.

However, this is the fate caused by the bond between her and the ear mouse since childhood.

This is the first time that Baobao has met Chimei and Xinang.

Is it...

Xiao Xiao suddenly had some guesses.

Ordinary people cannot see monsters, but powerful monsters can allow people to see them briefly.

Chimei and Xinang are obviously not powerful monsters.

However, the baby is not an ordinary person.

The Chimei wants to eat the baby and has a greedy desire for the baby, and this desire makes the baby see it.

And Xinang has always hoped that someone would hold its hand, no matter who it is. This expectation for human beings made the baby see it.

If that's the case, it makes sense.

Feifei and Taotie have no interest in the baby.

The reason why the baby can see monsters is probably due to the influence of the demonic power in the fire rat's flame. This ability, which is possessed due to external factors, is not strong and will not last long.

……

Xiao Xiao had lunch at Zhou's home.

I played with the baby who refused to take a nap for a while, and then I saw the baby rubbing his eyes and feeling sleepy.

Maybe it's also due to the efficacy of the medicine.

Only after watching the baby fall asleep did Xiao Xiao say goodbye and leave.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm really sorry to bother you today."

"No, I'm happy playing with the baby."

……

"Why don't you wait until the rain stops before leaving? It's still raining so hard."

"It's okay, and the rain is a little lighter than when I came here."

……

"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Xiaoxiao, be careful on your way."

"Thank you so much for coming this time."

……

Walking out of the stairs, Xiao Xiao opened his umbrella and walked in the rain.

The rapid raindrops hit the umbrella, making a crisp sound.

There were splashing raindrops at his feet. Even though Xiao Xiao walked slowly, his trouser legs were wet after a while.

The feeling of his trouser legs sticking to his feet made Xiao Xiao frown in displeasure.

……

Hmm? Xiao Xiao raised his umbrella and looked forward.

There's something weird going on.
