Chapter 2060 The Most Special Gift

Every time he successfully escaped from the jaws of death, he, who was still young and energetic at the time, would look at Xiaomei and smile happily.

……

These are his precious memories.

Unfortunately, as he got older, he no longer had the energy to take risks even if he wanted to.

In recent years, he has been doing more of swimming leisurely in the sea with Xiaomei.

Or he would sit on the beach and chat with Xiaomei who had her head sticking out of the sea.

Talk about each other's experiences.

The sky is high and the sun is bright overhead.

The sea water in front of me is clear and sparkling.

Everything is so beautiful.

……

"Mr. Zhao, Xiaomei also gave me a task when I came back this time."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

The old man was taken aback.

"Xiao Mei also gave you a task?"

"What is it?"

The old man was curious.

Xiao Xiao took out a black velvet bag from his bag and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at the bag and then at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

"have a look."

"This is a gift from Xiaomei to you."

The gift Xiaomei gave him?

A look of realization appeared on the old man's face.

So this is ah.

This was not the first time he received a gift from Xiaomei.

Because he would bring some small gifts for Xiaomei almost every time he went there.

After all, it's a once-a-year meeting.

He wanted to be more cautious.

After Xiaomei understood the meaning of the gift, she gave him a gift next time.

When he received Xiaomei’s gift for the first time, he was really touched.

……

I don’t know what Xiaomei gave him this time.

An expectant smile appeared on the old man's face.

Because Xiaomei's gifts are always very interesting.

Bizarre.

He even received a whole fish bone once.

He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that time.

But in front of him were Xiaomei's sparkling eyes, and he could only smile and say that he liked it very much.

Of course, he really liked it.

He knew that these gifts were carefully selected by Xiaomei.

Although their aesthetics are somewhat different.

But the thought behind the gift is what matters most.

He was ready for surprises.

result……

Looking at the gifts in the bag, the old man blinked.

A look of confusion appeared on his face.

Is this... Xiaomei’s gift?

……

Xiao Xiao noticed that the old man's demeanor had changed, but it was not what he expected. He was a little surprised, "What's wrong, Mr. Zhao?"

"Don't you like this gift?"

"No."

The old man shook his head.

"…Is this really a gift from Xiaomei?"

The old man couldn't help but ask.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "It's a gift from Xiao Mei to you."

"Is there anything wrong?"

"wrong……"

The old man murmured, then smiled and shook his head, "No."

"Compared to the gifts Xiaomei gave me before, this gift doesn't even seem like something Xiaomei would give me."

"Too normal."

The old man said it again.

……

"I love so much."

The old man looked at the bag full of pearls.

Sunlight leaked through the gaps between the leaves and branches and fell into the bag.

The round and plump pearls cast a hazy halo.

"very beautiful."

“It’s also very precious.”

A bag of pearls like this, in such good condition, must be worth a lot of money.

"Too expensive."

The old man murmured.

It was the first time he received such an expensive gift.

……

"These are pearls made from Xiaomei's tears."

……

"……what?"

The old man rubbed his ears.

What did he just hear?
He looked at Xiao Xiao as if seeking confirmation.

"These pearls are made of Xiaomei's tears."

Xiao Xiao repeated what he had just said.

The old man's brain finally understood this sentence.

His eyes suddenly widened. "These pearls...are made of Xiaomei's tears?!"

The old man carefully took out a pearl.

The round pearls exude a warm luster.

It made him narrow his eyes slightly.

"…She really is a mermaid…"

The old man was filled with emotion.

This pearl was actually made of tears...

It really feels like listening to a fairy tale.

But he knew it was true.

……

"Such a precious pearl..."

The old man carefully put the pearls into the bag.

The preciousness he spoke of this time was different from the preciousness he spoke of before.

He originally thought that Xiaomei gave him a very ordinary gift this time.

Although expensive, it was not as interesting as the gifts he had received before.

However, he was wrong.

Big mistakes.

This gift -
The old man carefully pulled the drawstring of the bag.

It was the most special and precious gift he had received from Xiaomei.

"I will treasure it well."

The old man assured.

Xiaomei actually gave him such a precious gift...

The old man smiled bitterly.

That child really...always makes him feel touched.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Mr. Zhao, let me push you for a walk."

"Ok."

The old man held the bag of pearls in his arms with a serious look on his face.

Eyebrows relaxed.

"Thank you, Xiao Xiao."

"Mr. Zhao, you can bring some candy with you next time you visit Xiaomei."

Xiao Xiao pushed the wheelchair slowly with a soothing voice.

"candy?"

Mr. Zhao, who was squinting his eyes to enjoy the sunshine, was stunned.

But he quickly responded, "Xiao Mei likes candy?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Xiao Mei also gave me three pearls as a gift."

“I didn’t have anything with me at the time.”

"I can only give Xiaomei a can of candy as a return gift."

"fortunately-"

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved, "Xiao Mei likes it very much."

The old man suddenly realized.

"That's right..."

"Xiaomei likes to eat candy."

Xiaomei's innocent smile appeared in his mind, and the old man laughed at his own slowness.

Yes.

Xiaomei is a monster.

Their temperaments are similar to those of human children.

Well, it's normal to like sweets.

He had never noticed such an obvious point.

“I didn’t even think of bringing it candy.”

The old man smiled bitterly.

The candy was so ordinary.

In his opinion, it has nothing to do with monsters.

I never thought that monsters would like candy.

It was him who made the first impression.

The old man shook his head.

"I see."

The old man nodded seriously and said, "Next time I go there, I will bring a lot of candy for the child."

……

Xiao Xiao accompanied the old man for lunch and then said goodbye and left.

The old man sat at the window.

Originally, Xiao Xiao wanted to help the old man to bed.

The old man refused.

Said he wanted to sit a while longer.

Too much lying in bed.

My whole body feels numb.

……

The old man looked out the window.

Xiao Xiao could be vaguely seen walking out of the inpatient building.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Goodbye, Xiao Xiao."

The old man murmured softly.

Unexpectedly, I got a response?!
……

Xiao Xiao turned his head.

The umbrella was raised a little higher.

His eyes were fixed accurately on the old man in the window.

Waved to the old man.

……

Mr. Zhao was stunned for a long time.

It wasn't until Xiao Xiao's back disappeared from his sight for a while that he gradually came to his senses.
