Chapter 1982 Bitterness
Today, these two young men found her... She saw the puppet that she thought she would never see again... She recalled the long-forgotten memories...

regret……

The strong feeling of regret almost made the middle-aged woman feel like she couldn't breathe.

"Aunt?"

Meng Jixi frowned slightly.

"what!"

The middle-aged woman suddenly came back to her senses.

Seeing that the two young men looked a little worried, she waved her hand and said, "I'm fine."

But the unnatural smile on her face made her words not very convincing.

The middle-aged woman sighed.

"I just remembered the stupid things I did back then..."

".I just feel regretful."

The middle-aged woman was about to speak, but saw Xiao Xiao smiling at her and shaking his head slightly.

She was puzzled.

Then, a voice sounded in her ears.

"Greetings……"

It was the waiter who brought the coffee they had ordered earlier.

After all, they were sitting on chairs in an open-air cafe, so they would feel embarrassed not to order anything.

After the waiter left, the middle-aged woman smiled gratefully at Xiao Xiao.

She was so absorbed in her own emotions that she didn't notice the waiter approaching.

Even if what she was about to say was not some state secret or something shameful.
No.

Or, in a sense, her memories are indeed somewhat "shameful".

The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly.

So, she didn't want too many people, at least not irrelevant people, to hear it.

The middle-aged woman picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Rich flavor, bitter taste.

Although she had only taken a sip, her heart felt as if it was filled with coffee, so bitter that she could hardly bear it.

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked a very important issue.

She looked at the two young men in front of her, her face full of confusion and surprise, "How did you know about the big bird?"

If they had only discovered the puppet, how would they know about the big bird?
Big Bird
No one else probably knows except her.

That.
How did these two young men know this?
"Another party."

Xiao Xiao did not hide it.

Of course, there is no need to hide it.

The reason I came here today was to see the Chongming bird.

"Another party?!"

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman's voice became somewhat distorted and strange.

The middle-aged woman's eyes were wide open, but her expression was blank, revealing a hint of confusion.

".Big Bird?"

The middle-aged woman spoke these words very lightly.

Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi even heard a hint of caution in it.

Xiao Xiao nodded.

The middle-aged woman suddenly felt as if she had regained her breath.

It turned out that she had held her breath without realizing it.

".real?"

The woman in the middle gripped the coffee cup with both hands, unconsciously exerting force.

"Did you really see the big bird?"

The still light voice revealed a hint of trance.

Xiao Xiao nodded again.

His expression was calm, with a slight curve at the corners of his mouth.

"How else would we know the story between you and Big Bird?"

".yes……"

The middle-aged woman nodded blankly.

"How else would you know the story between me and Big Bird?"

The story between them was only known to her and Big Bird.

It took the middle-aged woman a while to recover from this shocking news.

"where is it?!"

The middle-aged woman excitedly grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand, "Did you see it?" "Since it told you the story between me and it, right?"

Does it miss her too?
She was a little afraid to say this.

"where is it?!"

The middle-aged woman tightened her grip on Xiao Xiao's wrist.

"Where?!"

"I want to see it!"

Things that I thought would never happen happened today.

The middle-aged woman couldn't control her excitement.

I thought I would never see the puppet again.
A big bird that I thought I would never see again.
She can see him again!

Xiao Xiao moved his hands slightly and freed himself from the middle-aged woman's tightly clasped fingers.

He looked up.

His sight lightly passed over a big tree not far away.

Then he looked at the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, can you tell us why you sold the doll?"

“That’s what it wants to know, too.”

The middle-aged woman holds her left hand with her right hand and places it on her knees.

The whole person has a feeling of restlessness.

The second half of Xiao Xiao's words made her expression suddenly freeze.

What is supposed to come will come.

The middle-aged woman's shoulders slumped slightly.

The restless atmosphere around him calmed down.

“It wants to know…”

"Too."

“Of course it wants to know.”

The middle-aged woman rubbed her forehead.

I don't know whether it is a smile or a sad expression.

"then."

The middle-aged woman's voice became lowered...

The little girl grew up slowly.

She reached out to more and more people.

Her world is getting bigger and bigger.

She can no longer play with Big Bird all day long like she did when she was a child.

She spent less and less time at home.

She is always busy.

She knew that she had less and less time to spend with Big Bird.

But she acquiesced to the change.

She is not a child anymore, and she can no longer play with Big Bird like she did when she was little.

She felt sorry at first and wanted to spend more time with Big Bird.

But she found
She didn't know when the relationship between her and the big bird became mostly silent.

It's not that she has nothing to say.

She had a lot to say.

Just those words.
But that’s not what I said to Big Bird.

What's the point of her telling Big Bird?
Will Big Bird be like her friend. Complain with her about how difficult today's homework is, discuss excitedly about favorite TV series and celebrities, and send her funny pictures when she is in a bad mood?
Big Bird doesn't.

She used to tell the big bird everything she saw and heard during the day.

As long as the big bird had some reaction, even if it was very slight, she would be happy.

But
Gradually, she felt that it was too late to confide her worries and thoughts to a big bird that she didn't know whether it could understand human words or not.
Too stupid.

Originally
Her good popularity also means she doesn't have to be so "pitiful" and only be able to confide in non-humans.

No time to spend with the big bird, no words to tell the big bird
At that time, she unconsciously became estranged from Big Bird.

She never thought that Big Bird would leave her.

She has been with Big Bird for so long.
Until one day, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen the big bird for several days.

At first, she didn't even care.

She thought the big bird just left temporarily.

In a few days, the big bird will come back.

just
She never waited for the big bird to come back.

It was much later when I realized that the big bird would never come back.

She was sitting at the desk, staring blankly out the window for a long time.

The next day, the sun shone on her eyelids and she opened her hazy eyes.
