Chapter 2001 Slow
but
No.

The boy didn't find Xiaoyi.

After school, the boy searched the school again.

He also looked back and forth several times for the way from school to the station.

He walked back and forth on the bus several times.

After getting off the bus, the boy looked a little confused.

The sun shines on my face.

Even the afterglow of the setting sun was so dazzling that he squinted his eyes slightly.

The young man took a deep breath.

I walked all the way from the station to my home.

He stood at the door of his house.

No key to open the door.

There was even a hint of despair in my heart.

He couldn't find Xiaoyi
What should he do if he can’t find Xiaoyi?
He suddenly remembered the days when he was alienated and even excluded by his classmates because his "identity" as a teacher's child was exposed.

He didn't look concerned at that time.

But every time when he was alone, that uncomfortable feeling was like a maggot attached to his bones, which could not be driven away.

He told himself again and again that it didn't matter.

It's not his fault.

Even though there were a few times when he almost cried because of the pain.

He devoted all his energy to studying.

After class, I either do homework or read books.

He began to hate physical education class.

I especially hate group activities.

Because no one wanted to team up with him.

Although because of the number of people, he wouldn't really be left alone.

But the feeling of being disliked and having no choice but to team up with him is really bad.

he does not like.

He's annoying.

But things are different with Xiaoyi.

No one talks to him, but he can talk to Xiaoyi.

Because of Xiaoyi, he was actually willing to be alone.

This way, no one will look at him strangely because of his uncontrolled facial expressions and careless words.

The door was opened from the inside.

The boy was startled.

There was even a look of horror on his face.

The woman who opened the door also showed a frightened expression.

".Xiao Yi?!"

The two looked at each other silently for a while, and the woman cried out softly.

"Why don't you open the door when you come back?"

Because she and the child's father had irregular working hours, they gave the key to the house to the child when the child was still in elementary school.

Seeing that the child was still in shock, the woman slowed down her tone and asked, "Are you scared like this?"

"Who asked you to stand there in a daze?"

"Come in first."

"Why are you so late today?"

The woman reached out and helped the child take off the schoolbag from his back.

His brows furrowed, "Look at you, you're sweating all over."

"Looking for something again?"

The woman thought of the boy she found at the station yesterday.

"You went to school so early today to look for something, right?"

The woman understood.

"Is it something important?"

The boy took off his shoes slowly and put on slippers slowly.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

Say no.
He has shown this.
Who is not really convincing.

But if he said yes, how would he answer his mother's subsequent questions?

How would he explain Xiaoyi's existence?
Make up a lie?

His mind was now filled with thoughts of the missing Xiaoyi and his fear of whether he could find her.
There are many other miscellaneous associations.
He didn't have the energy to make up a lie that would get away with it.

In the end, the boy just remained silent.

The woman sighed slightly.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

But she said nothing about it.

She didn't want to push the child.

Moreover, the more adolescent children are forced, the more they will rebound.

She patted the child's shoulder and said, "Go back to your room and rest for a while."

"We'll be eating soon."

The young man felt slightly relieved by the woman's thoughtfulness.

A feeling of gratitude arose in his heart.

In order not to come home late and make my parents worry. Also, in order to have more time to look for Xiaoyi.
The boy asked the teacher for leave. The next few days were basically spent explaining the test papers.

His grades are very good.

This time, my exam results were as usual, ranking first in the class and first in the grade.

The teacher agreed to his request for leave without hesitation.

Didn't even ask why.

Zhao Yihuan is a typical good student.

He has excellent grades and is a responsible class monitor.

Calm temperament.

He is a student who can be described as perfect.

He had never taken a day off before.

There was never a single time when he was late or left early.

There must be a reason why I have to take leave this time.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he looks bad and tends to be distracted these past few days?

The teacher smiled gently, "I hope you can feel refreshed when you come back."

“High school is just beginning.”

"Your grades are good, but you can't relax."

The boy nodded seriously, "Yeah."

"I know."

"Thank you, teacher."

The boy began to spend the whole day looking for Xiaoyi.

He is no longer limited to the route from home to school.

He expanded his search.

At the dining table, the woman looked at the boy worriedly, "Xiaoyi, has studying been hard during this period?"

"Why does your face look so bad?"

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The man also frowned, "How come you have dark circles under your eyes at such a young age?"

The boy touched his face and asked, "Is there?"

"Any more?"

The woman poured a bowl of soup and handed it to the boy, "Your face is so pale."

The boy took the bowl of soup.

"fine."

He shook his head.

Then he picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup.

Seeing this, the woman and the man didn't say anything else.

But in my mind, I was thinking about making more nutritious dishes for my children.

The boy felt a little guilty about his parents' concern.

He hasn't been to class for several days.

but
The boy clenched his fists.

There was a hint of stubbornness on his face.

He will definitely find Xiaoyi!
“But I haven’t found Xiaoyi yet.”

The boy lowered his head.

His hands on his knees were clenched into fists.

“I can’t find it no matter how hard I try.”

"Where did Xiaoyi go..."

There was a hint of sob in the boy's voice.

It was the first time that the boy confided to someone about his torment and fear during this period, and he could hardly control his emotions.

He pursed his lips.

Open your eyes as hard as you can.

But still a drop of heat fell on the back of his hand.

He shrank slightly from the heat.

"You found it missing after you got home from school, right?"

Xiao Xiao murmured.

"Ah."

The boy's voice had a nasal tone.

"You are too slow."

Meng Jixi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although the boy looks pitiful.

But
"I don't know how long it was before you discovered it?"

Why not just wait ten days or half a month before finding out?

That way you don't even have to look for it.

The boy clenched his fists on his knees even tighter.

He was also very upset about this.

I regret it so much.

Yes.

Why didn’t he notice earlier that Xiaoyi was missing?
Why didn't he find out sooner?
Regret and annoyance gnawed at the boy's heart.
