Chapter 2053 Tears and Pearls

"Ow~"

Taotie spoke lazily.

My body was shaking.

The sun is warm on my body again.

The eyes under his armpits were half open and half closed.

The aura emanating from the body is lazy and pleasant.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He noticed the curiosity on Feifei's face as if he was aware of something.

He asked knowingly, "Feifei, do you want to try it too?"

"Coffee~"

There seemed to be a light in Feifei's eyes.

……

Since Taotie liked it and Feifei was also interested, Xiao Xiao simply gave a lifebuoy to the remaining monsters.

There happened to be four life buoys on board.

One for each monster.

This will prevent these monsters from being unwilling to share a lifebuoy with other monsters and causing trouble again.

Although it does seem a bit "wasteful" for Abai and Xiao Taotie to have only one lifebuoy?
Seeing several monsters lying on the lifebuoy skillfully with a lazy look on their faces, Xiao Xiao inexplicably had an eerie feeling that he was like a kindergarten principal.

He shook his head with a hint of amusement.

Then, his expression became slightly serious, as he had not yet made any progress on his main business.

Now is not the time to slack off.

The minnow has not found any trace of Xiaomei.

He lowered his eyes, and the blue sea was rippling slightly in his eyes.

It was getting dark.

The sunrise over the sea is beautiful.

The sunset is also beautiful and makes people's hearts flutter.

Deep and light rose red and orange blend together.

Beautiful colors spread across the sea.

Boundless.

Very magnificent.

It can't help but shock people.

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze from the sunset.

Overlooking the sea.

Xiaomei still didn't show up.

Because Mr. Zhao didn’t come.

Or...even if Mr. Zhao comes this time, he may not be able to see Xiaomei?

He suddenly had this guess.

It has been so many days, and as long as Xiaomei is watching nearby, he doesn't think she won't be able to find it.

Even if he didn't notice, there were so many monsters around him.

They were more sensitive to demonic aura than he was.

But they didn't find it either.

So... the most likely possibility is that Xiaomei has never been around here.

why?
The agreement between Mr. Zhao and Xiaomei has lasted for decades.

He didn't think Xiaomei would forget.

So...did something happen to Xiaomei?

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly.

……

But, since we can't find the monster, all speculations are just speculations.

It is also possible that Xiaomei suddenly doesn't want to go on the date anymore.

Of course, this possibility is low.

He did not doubt the friendship between the old man and the monster.

……

"I was delayed by something..."

Xiao Xiao murmured, "I'm still in trouble..."

He sighed.

Things are getting complicated.

He really thought that as long as he came here he would be able to see Xiaomei.

The only problem was to make the other party understand that I was here on behalf of Mr. Zhao.

……

At night, Xiao Xiao lay in his sleeping bag and looked at the starry sky above.

There are many more stars than in the city, blinking and twinkling in the velvety night sky.

The sky is high.

The stars seem very close.

It seemed as if he could pick a star just by stretching out his hand.

……

The moonlight was like frost, sprinkling on his face.

For sleeping, this kind of moonlight is a bit annoying.

Xiao Xiao pulled down the blindfold on his head.

The darkness before him satisfied him.

Soon, Xiao Xiao's breathing became more stable.

……

The waves rise and fall tirelessly.

One wave rises, one wave falls.

Layers.

The subtle sound of waves echoed throughout the island.

……

Under the night sky, the color of the sea water became even darker.

The stars are reflected in it, and there are also tiny twinkling lights.

The sea water has different shades of color.

Suddenly, a different light appeared.

That was... a pink-gold light.

……

"Wow~"

Xiaomei poked her head out of the sea.

It looked left and right.

Soon, it saw the sleeping bag on the beach.

Its eyes lit up.

“Eh~”…

Xiao Xiao's eyes moved slightly.

He reached up and removed the blindfold.

Stand up and sit up.

Because of his movement, several monsters woke up.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei cried softly.

He rubbed his head against Xiao Xiao's arm which was resting on the beach.

Xiao Xiao touched the head of the coquettish little monster.

"You guys should rest."

……

Xiao Xiao unzipped his sleeping bag.

stood up.

The air on the island was still a little warm at night.

The moonlight is clear and the stars are shining.

He clearly saw the smile on the little girl's face not far away turn into confusion and vigilance after she saw his face.

He smiled gently.

"Xiao Mei."

He approached slowly.

The monster, who was about to retreat, stopped when he heard the familiar name.

"Hello."

Feifei jumped onto Xiao Xiao's shoulders.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Xiao hugged the little white fox that jumped into his arms.

Ok.

Then let’s all go together.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were curved.

I guess they must be a little curious about Xiaomei and Abai.

……

"It was Elder Zhao Lei who asked me to come here."

Hearing the familiar name again, Xiaomei unconsciously moved forward a few steps.

Zhao Lei......

……

Xiao Xiao walked in front of Xiao Mei.

He crouched down.

Xiaomei didn't dodge.

Just staring at him blankly.

Where is Zhao Lei?
He is not Zhao Lei.

……

"Due to some unexpected circumstances, Mr. Zhao and Zhao Lei are busy and can't come."

Xiao Xiao spoke very slowly.

"He asked me to come here."

"Explain it to you for him."

"I also hope that you don't have to wait in vain."

"He doesn't want you to be mad at him for it."

"If it's not really impossible for me to come, Zhao Lei would also like to come and see you."

"He cares about you."

……

"Woo~"

Xiaomei pouted.

It probably understood what the human said.

Because it has had more contact with Zhao Lei, it can understand most of the human language.

……

Zhao Lei is not coming.

Xiaomei felt a little aggrieved.

It managed to slip out with great difficulty.

I hurried here.

I even lost my way halfway because I was too impatient.

I was always worried that I was late... I was worried that Zhao Lei had already left...

Worried that Zhao Lei would be angry with it.

As a result, it did not see Zhao Lei.

But it’s not that it’s late, of course, it is indeed late…

Xiaomei's brain is a little confused.

It shook its head.

Because Zhao Lei didn’t come at all.

He didn’t come…

……

Thinking of how anxious I have been these past few days -
"Puff~"

The tears falling from the corners of her eyes instantly turned into pearls and fell into the sea.

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

"Giggle~"

The mullet caught the two pearls with swift movements.

Then it swam in front of Xiao Xiao.

"Giggle~"

The mullet poked its head out of the sea.

Xiao Xiao reached out and took the two pearls.

The round and plump pearls emit a soft and hazy glow under the moonlight.

He smiled bitterly.

His expression became more gentle.

"Don't cry."

Xiaomei opened her eyes blankly.

Tears kept flowing from the corners of its eyes.

Then it turned into pearls.

“Chuckle~Chuckle~”

The mullet deftly caught the pearls one after another.

　ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
