Chapter 2000 Fear

But now, the boy has been with Xiaoyi for almost six years, and he has become completely accustomed to Xiaoyi's presence.

Because he was too used to it, he became a little numb to its scent.

When did Xiaoyi disappear?

He didn't notice at all.

Thinking about how much he had just said, the young man knocked his head hard.

How to do?
Xiaoyi is missing.

Yes. Did it fall somewhere on the road?

Although the guess was ridiculous, he turned and ran down the stairs.

After running just a few steps, he stopped again.

He returned to where he started.

Then slowly walked down step by step.

His eyes were fixed on the ground.

All the way to the station.

It was getting dark.

The street lights lit up with a dim yellow light.

It reflected the young man's bewildered face.

Small one
Is it at school?

The boy pursed his lips.

This speculation made his heart restless.

He looked anxiously in the direction where the bus was coming.

A car passed by.

Another car passed by.

coming!

The young man's eyes lit up.

Just when he was about to get in the car-
"Xiao Yi!"

The boy turned around.

"Mother?"

Then he noticed that the woman's forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was a mixture of anxiety and joy.

He felt a little uneasy, "Mom-"

"Where have you been, kid?!"

The woman yelled angrily.

The sound of a car starting was heard.

The boy turned around suddenly and saw the car going away.

"Hey?!"

The boy couldn't help but take a step towards the direction the car was leaving.

The woman took the boy's arm and walked a few steps inside.

"You wait."

"I'll call your dad."

"Say you found it."

"Let him not look for it."

The woman quickly hung up the phone.

She looked at her child and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back."

"I haven't even prepared dinner at home because I've been looking for you."

"You kid, you didn't even call to tell me you were going out, or leave a note."

The woman glanced at the child with some reproach.

"My schoolbag is still on the stairs."

"what?"

The silent boy made a puzzled sound.

He reached out and touched his shoulder.

No shoulder straps.

The schoolbag is missing.

Seeing this, the woman sighed, "Why are you so confused, kid?"

"I didn't even know my schoolbag was gone."

The boy was stunned for a moment.

He remembered.

At that time, he took off his schoolbag and put it on the stairs.

Later, he thought of looking for Xiaoyi along the way, and he forgot his schoolbag on the stairs.

"I forgot."

The boy whispered.

"You."

The woman shook her head.

"I came back and saw the bag on the stairs. I recognized it as yours at the first sight."

"I came home and found you were not there."

"I checked my phone and there were no missed calls or messages."

"There was no note in the room."

"I called your dad, and he didn't receive your call or text message either."

"I'm a little anxious."

"It's so late, where have you been?"

The boy pursed his lips.

He hesitated, "Sorry."

"My stuff is missing."

“I thought maybe it fell on the road, so I looked for it along the way back.”

".could not find it"

"I wonder if it was left in the school..."

"So you wanted to take a bus to school?"

The woman was helpless, “You can’t even get into school now.”

"The school has already closed at this time." The boy was stunned.

He.forgot.

"What was lost?"

the woman asked.

What is it that the young man is looking for so hard?

If she hadn't arrived in time, the child would have gotten on the bus.

"If you really get in the car, your father and I will probably call the police."

The woman smiled bitterly.

The boy blinked.

Then he lowered his eyes.

He was so flustered that he forgot to leave a message for his parents.

It frightened them.

He is sorry.

".It's nothing important."

"Mom, let's go home."

The boy looked up and smiled slightly.

"I am hungry."

Although the woman vaguely sensed that the child was hiding something from her, she did not ask any further questions.

When children grow up, they should have some little secrets of their own.

Moreover, she believed in her children.

This child has never caused her and her father any worries since he was young.

Always very sensible.

She smiled and said, "Well, let's go back."

"Dad should be cooking already."

"We can eat in a while when we get back."

Then she straightened her face and said, "This only happens once."

"Next time you go out, be sure to say hello to your parents, okay?"

"Ah."

The boy nodded, "Got it."

"sorry."

The woman patted the boy's shoulder.

The child she once was has grown taller than her.

She couldn't touch the child's head.

She felt a little emotional.

"Just pay attention next time."

"Otherwise mom and dad will worry."

"Ah."

The boy replied softly, "I'm sorry."

"Okay, just say sorry once."

The woman squinted her eyes and smiled, "I'm glad you're okay."

Returning to his room, the smile on the boy's face faded until it disappeared.

He stood blankly in the middle of the room.

Looking at his empty arms.

Small one
The boy suddenly clenched his hands tightly.

He was suddenly very scared.

Small one
How to do?
He lost Xiaoyi.

Is it true that he will never see Xiaoyi again?
The boy shook his head vigorously.

Will not!
He will find Xiaoyi. He will find Xiaoyi!
"Xiao Yi?"

The woman who pushed the door open showed some confusion on her face.

"what happened?"

Why is this child standing in the middle of the room, shaking his head?

The young man was stunned.

He turned his head.

I saw the woman standing at the door with a plate of cut fruit.

He walked over.

"Mom, me"

For a moment, he didn't know how to explain his inexplicable behavior just now.

The woman smiled and walked over to the desk in the boy's bedroom and placed the plate of fruit on the desk.

"Are you tired from taking the exam today?"

What's more, the child later walked so much distance to find something.

"Eat some fruit."

"Read a book later and then go to bed early."

"Have a good sleep and wake up refreshed the next day."

"Ah."

The young man nodded.

The woman walked out of the room.

He closed the door behind him.

The boy fell on the bed.

After a few seconds, he stood up.

He sat at his desk and began to review the subjects he would take the exam for tomorrow.

The exam lasts for two days.

I have three more exams tomorrow.

The next day, the boy got up earlier than usual.

Faced with his parents' surprise, he said that he was too tired yesterday and didn't spend much time reading, so he went to school early today to review for a while.

Arrived at school
My own classroom, the classroom where I take exams, the corridors I walk through, the cafeteria, and even the toilets
He searched all the places he could think of and where he had been...
