Chapter 2002 New clues
“It makes no difference whether it’s early or late.”

The young man looked up suddenly.

He met Xiao Xiao's slightly curved brows.

"Too."

Meng Jixi reacted quickly.

He stretched his legs out and leaned back against the railing.

With his head lowered, his eyes reflected the sky that was half-obscured by the pavilion.

"There are only two possibilities for Xiaoyi's disappearance."

Xiao Xiao touched the little white fox's head.

"One is that it leaves on its own initiative."

“One is that it was forced to leave.”

"No matter which possibility it is, if the other party is intentionally hiding it, you won't be able to discover it."

The boy's clenched finger bones turned slightly white.

".I know"

Even though he knew it, he still couldn't help but think, if he had discovered it earlier - no, if he had discovered it at the beginning, could he have prevented Xiaoyi from disappearing?
Right? Xiaoyi won’t disappear?
At least, he could do something.
Instead of realizing belatedly that Xiaoyi was missing, he could do nothing but search aimlessly.

“The problem now is”

Meng Jixi straightened up, "Did Xiaoyi leave on his own? Or was he taken away by someone, cough, or a monster?"

"Did it behave in any unusual way in the first few days after Xiaoyi disappeared?"

Meng Jixi looked at the young man.

After frowning and thinking for a while, the boy looked up.

The corners of the eyes are a little red.

"No."

The boy shook his head.

"No."

As if to emphasize, the boy said it again.

"I didn't notice anything unusual about Xiaoyi."

"Is it true or you just haven't discovered it."

Meng Jixi muttered.

After all, this guy didn't even realize immediately that the monster on his body was gone, and it was unknown how long it took him to discover it.

"."

The boy was speechless.

He himself was not sure.

He reached up and knocked his head.

I tried again to recall Xiaoyi’s every move in the few days before I disappeared.

Xiaoyi has always been quiet.

Unless he wasn't looking at the road and was about to hit a telephone pole or a tree, or encountered some other danger...

The boy was suddenly stunned.

He thought about how he had been a little obsessed with looking for Xiaoyi these days.

I don't pay much attention to traffic lights when crossing the road.

I ran red lights several times.

The shrill sound of a horn rang in his ears.

And the driver yelled at me.
If Xiaoyi was with him, this would never have happened.

After he introduced the rules of traffic lights to Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi became very clear about the traffic rules.

Of course, not only traffic rules, but everything he told Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi remembered it very clearly.

Xiaoyi always protects him when he is careless.

The boy shook his head vigorously.

He was distracted again.

A few days before Xiaoyi disappeared
He is preparing for the exam.

Every day I go between school and home.

The bus was as crowded as ever.

He complained to Xiaoyi once.

He doesn't like the feeling of being crowded.

Later, every time he took the bus, Xiaoyi would circle a narrow area for him.

No one can touch him.

Although I feel a little embarrassed about this for other passengers.

But it feels really good not to be squeezed by others.

However, sometimes when he saw the puzzled expressions of the passengers next to him, he would pretend to be nothing happened, but he couldn't help feeling guilty inside.

correct!

The boy's eyes lit up, "I know!"

He remembered!
“The bus coming back from school that day was very crowded.”

"I haven't been on such a crowded bus in a long time!"

Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He glanced at Master Xiao.

Then he looked at the boy, "What do you mean?"

Little One Missing and Buses Are Crowded
An idea suddenly occurred to Meng Jixi, "You mean Xiaoyi disappeared on the bus?"

"I do not know."

The boy shook his head.

He looked very excited because he had finally found a clue.

He really is an idiot.

Such an obvious clue was not discovered until today.

"But Xiaoyi was gone on the bus!"

Meng Jixi was puzzled by the boy's certainty, "Why are you so sure?"

"Because if Xiaoyi is here, I won't feel the bus is crowded!"

The boy's tone was anxious and excited.

Well.
Meng Jixi rubbed his head and asked, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"I do not quite understand you."

"Ah, oh."

The boy took a deep breath to calm his overly intense heartbeat.

"I once complained to Xiaoyi that the bus was too crowded."

"Then."

The boy couldn't help but frown, "When we take the bus again, Xiaoyi will keep some distance between me and others."

“I never got squeezed again.”

"But I'm worried that if I do it too obviously, people will notice something is wrong."

"Just remind Xiaoyi, for example, when the car brakes suddenly, the branches are collected."

"Once before, someone behind me leaned over and he was confused as if he had bumped into something strange."

"oh oh."

Meng Jixi suddenly realized.

"Xiaoyi is very good to you."

He was a little emotional.

Could it be that monsters could be so kind to humans?
"Ah."

The boy narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Xiaoyi is very good to me."

"so."

The smile on the boy's face slowly faded, "I must find Xiaoyi."

"I am anxious."

".I'm scared."

"Has Xiaoyi encountered any danger?"

"Xiaoyi won't leave me for no reason."

".This is hard to find."

Meng Jixi whispered to himself.

So many days have passed.

What is missing is a monster.
He looked at Master Xiao.

Among the people he knows, the person most likely to help this kid find Xiaoyi is only Master Xiao.

This kid found the right person.

The boy heard Meng Jixi's whisper.

He pursed his lips.

Lips pale.

Yes.

He also knew how difficult it was to find Xiaoyi today.

But no matter how difficult it is.
He also wants to find Xiaoyi.

He won't give up.

The boy looked at Xiao Xiao.

There was an unconscious pleading in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao stood up and said, "Let's walk along the road from school to your home first."

I can't think of anything sitting here.

It is better to go and see it in person, maybe you will find something unexpected.

The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"Ok!"

He answered loudly.

He was a little worried that his older brother would advise him to give up after hearing what he said.

He will look embarrassed.

Or, just give him a vague answer and say you'll help him pay attention.

Then let him go back.

did not expect.
The young man took a deep breath.

The turbulent and rapid heartbeat eased a little.

A big smile appeared on his worried face.

"Thank you, big brother."

"The only right thing you did during this period was to ask Master Xiao for help."

Meng Jixi curled his lips.

If Master Xiao said there was no way, then he really thought it would be better for this kid to give up on finding his monster friend.

The smile on the boy's face grew wider.

"Ah."

He nodded heavily.
