Chapter 1984 Meeting
Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you coming to meet your long-lost friend?"

Since the Chongming Bird recognized the puppet that the little girl had made at first sight, and did so many things to attract its attention -
Although the object was wrong.

I still remember what the little girl said back then...

He thought that no matter what the reason was, the double-headed bird wanted to see the little girl, and it must have something it wanted to convey to her.

Well, since it's so rare to see each other again, wouldn't it be a pity not to see each other?
Mingming followed all the way here.

……

The middle-aged woman's lips trembled slightly.

The big bird is outside the window.

She looked outside; the overly bright sunlight clouded her vision.

She wanted to go to the window.

But his feet seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move.

……

A gust of wind blew.

The flying hair dazzled the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears.

Then she noticed that the young man who had his back to her turned around.

She suddenly realized something.

She turned around quickly and looked around.

"Big Bird..."

"Big Bird!"

……

But I never saw the silver-white figure.

She clenched her hands.

"Big Bird, you're here, right?"

"Let me see you."

"I want to see you."

"I……"

"I'm very sorry."

“It was my fault then.”

"Sorry……"

"please……"

"Can you come out?"

……

Meng Jixi walked to Xiao Xiao's side, "Master Xiao."

"It's here. Isn't it?"

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

Meng Jixi turned to look at the middle-aged woman without much surprise, and said in a lighter voice, "She...can't see?"

After having more contact with Master Xiao, he knew some things even without being asked specifically.

such as……

This ability to see is not permanent.

Children are often more visible.

But when children grow up, few can see it all the time.

……

The middle-aged woman's voice was a little hoarse.

She was a little broken.

Can't it?
Even if she tried so hard to beg him, Big Bird was unwilling to come out to see her?
So why did it tell these two young people stories about their past?
She thought it wanted to see her too.

"…Are you still angry?"

"At least give me a chance to apologize in person."

The middle-aged woman stopped walking around.

The straight spine was slightly bent.

The shadow cast by the messy hair blocked the emotions in the middle-aged woman's eyes.

Her tightly pursed lips revealed some of the middle-aged woman's anxiety and loneliness at the moment.

……

As if sensing something strange in the air, the middle-aged woman looked up in confusion.

The next second -
The middle-aged woman was stunned.

When the figure she had been thinking about really appeared in front of her, her mind went blank for a moment.

"...Big bird?"

The middle-aged woman's voice was very soft.

As if he was worried that a slight noise would cause the phantom-like figure in front of him to
"Pfft~"

It burst like a bubble.

……

Meng Jixi was stunned.

"She saw it?"

He looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Meng Jixi smacked his lips and didn't ask any further questions.

After all, the current occasion is not appropriate.

He would be guilty if he disturbed the reunion and farewell after many years not far away.

……

"Big Bird..."

The middle-aged woman opened her eyes wide, "Is it really you?"

"...Are you willing to see me?" "I really see you?"

The corners of the middle-aged woman's eyes felt slightly hot.

Even the words he spoke were a little incoherent.

She blinked hard.

The blurry picture in front of me became clear again.

"……sorry."

"I'm really sorry."

There was a hint of sob in the middle-aged woman's hoarse voice.

"I am too selfish..."

Thinking only of yourself.

I don’t want to be isolated, I don’t want to appear strange…

Sometimes people are really idealistic creatures.

Because of all the concerns in her heart, the big bird that seemed so beautiful and perfect to her began to have flaws everywhere.

It's not pleasing to the eye no matter how I look at it.

She didn't even want to say a word to the other person.

"...You left because you sensed my desire to stay away, right?"

The middle-aged woman said with some difficulty.

"I drove you away, didn't I?"

Even though she didn't say it explicitly, her attitude at the time said it all.

She thought she hid it well.

No.

She didn’t cover up for herself.

She actually knows that she sometimes behaves badly.

Impatient, cold, irritable.
just
The bird didn't respond.
Yes.

It's just a bird, how can it understand human emotions?

She told herself so.

So I let myself go with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman's eyes unconsciously turned to the side.

She was a little afraid to look at the big bird.

But soon, she looked at the big bird again.

How many years has it been...

They haven't seen each other for many years.

"Big Bird, will you forgive me?"

The middle-aged woman asked with some caution and expectation.

But soon, the middle-aged woman waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me."

"I went too far."

"You're right to be angry."

"I'm glad you're willing to come and see me."

"I"

"I miss you."

The middle-aged woman moved her lips for a while and whispered softly.

Just keep forgetting it.

Once she recalled the past, she found that she missed her playmates so much.

Maybe there was something strange about what she said.

But that's how she really feels.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but say a lot.

She talked about her regrets and apologies, her longings, and her life in the past few years.
Then, she realized the other party's silence.

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips.

Then, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing an unnatural smile.

".Am I talking too much?"

The middle-aged woman was stunned.

When she reacted, she found her hand raised.

Just now
It seemed as if a gentle force was lifting her hand.

yes.
The middle-aged woman looked across.

Big bird wings.

Just now, the big bird stretched out its wings and lifted her hand.

She doesn't know why

".Big Bird?"

Then she saw a feather.
A feather with a faint glow slowly floated towards her.

She subconsciously spread out her raised hands.

He stared at the feather without blinking as it slowly fell down.

I just felt a little itchy in the palm of my hand.

Familiar yet unfamiliar feathers.

Looking at the feather in her hand, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but smile with joy.

"Is it for me?"

"Big Bird, you want to give me this feather, right?"

The double-headed bird nodded.

This feather is a gift to the other.

The middle-aged woman slowly closed her palms.

She clenched the feather.
