Chapter 2181 Elf
The next morning, the old man didn't see anything on the bedside table.

There is no fruit either.

He was very lost.

Even a little sad.

Is it because he is pushing his limits?

People prepared gifts for him with great care, but he was still picky...

As a result, after waking up from his nap, he subconsciously looked at the bedside table.

The hazy brain suddenly became clear.

What did he see?
A little purple flower!

Of course, there are also the usual fruits.

……

The old man couldn't explain his feelings for a moment.

I don’t know whether I feel more happy or more touched.

And thankfully.

Be glad that the other person is not mad at you.

……

The old man wiped his eyes.

"Thank you."

"…You searched for a long time, didn't you?"

He understood that the reason why the gift was delayed so much today was because the other party went to find the gift he wanted.

"Thank you, it's just that I'm an old man being willful."

"But I'm really happy."

"Thank you."

……

The old man’s granddaughter asked him what happened and why he was so happy.
He touched the child's head and said with a smile, "I met a kind elf."

Yes.

Elf.

Because it is becoming increasingly difficult for the elderly to imagine how normal people can put gifts on his bedside table every day?

And I can still hear his voice.

He said the day before that he wanted purple flowers, and the next day the other party really sent him purple flowers.

……

He had doubted the caregiver.

The people most likely to do these things are caregivers.

However, after observing for a long time and trying several times, he had to admit that his guess was wrong.

He even had a sudden thought: maybe there were surveillance cameras or bugs installed in his house?
But this can explain why the other party heard what he said, but it cannot explain why the gift appeared on his bedside table every day?
If it's not a caregiver...

Could it be that the other party climbs up to the fifth floor and comes in through the window every day?

This is crazy.

The old man thought it was a bit ridiculous.

He shook his head.

……

He thought about closing the window.

In this way...even if the truth cannot be revealed, one possibility can be ruled out.

……

But in the end, the old man didn't do it.

He was curious about who the person was who was so kind to him... He really wanted to thank the person in person...

But I am more worried that my behavior will keep the other party away.

What if the other party misunderstands my meaning and never gives him these small gifts again?
What if the other person thinks you hate these little gifts?
He didn't want to do anything that would cause misunderstanding.

Because he really likes these little gifts.

He ate all the fruit.

He also put away the other things carefully.

Including that weird flyer.

……

The old man told himself to treat the other person as a magical and kind elf.

Not looking for roots.

Don't get to the bottom of it.

He hoped that one day, the other party would be willing to appear in front of him.

……

I didn't expect that at my old age, I would encounter things that only happened in the storybooks I read as a child.

There was something childish in the old man's smile.

What the old child said really makes sense.

……

"Elves?"

The little girl tilted her head, her eyes shining brightly, "I want to see the elves too!"

"Nannan, if you always be a good child, you will see the elves one day."

The old man's brows were relaxed and his expression was gentle.

"really?"

The little girl opened her eyes wide.

As long as she continues to be a good child, will the elf appear before her?
"How can it be true?"

The older boy pouted.

"Elf-"

Whatever, it's fake.

"Hey!"

The boy on the left glared at the boy on the right.

A look of disapproval appeared on the same face as the boy on the right.

"what?"

The little girl turned her head and looked at her brother, with a look of confusion on her face.

"grandfather?"

She looked at the old man again.

"it is true."

The old man's eyes narrowed.

There was no trace of perfunctoriness or joking in the serious tone.

Because, he encountered it.

So, as long as you believe, then one day, this child might really meet an elf, right?
"Ok!"

The little girl nodded vigorously, her fists clenched tightly, and her chubby face was full of expectation and smile, "I will always be a good child!"

"So, the elves need to come quickly."

……

The boy on the right muttered something under his breath.

The boy on the left gave him a warning glance.

Grandpa is playing with my sister.

Besides, children are at the age when they believe in fairy tales.

When you grow up, you will realize that fairy tales are just fairy tales.

Why tell her now?
……

The wind blowing on his face woke the old man from his distraction.

The old man's somewhat dazed eyes regained focus.

The silhouette of the other tree was reflected in his eyes.

On the big tree, he saw the fruit he had been eating all this time.

There seemed to be a sour and sweet taste in his mouth again.

He couldn't help but laugh.

The old man opened his mouth.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Until now, when he has recovered, he still doesn't know who that kind-hearted person was.

Maybe, the other person is really a magical and kind elf?
"…Are you an elf?"

The old man muttered unconsciously.

……

"Whoo~"

"Wow, wow, wow~"

The sound of wind and swaying branches is clear to the ears.

There were also faint sounds of conversation downstairs.

A car horn sounded in the distance.

Apart from these ordinary sounds, the old man heard no response.

The old man lowered his eyes and smiled.

really
Still not showing up?

……

The little monster was lying on the branch and looking at the old man standing in front of the window.

Elf?

A look of confusion and puzzlement appeared on the little monster's face.

what is that?
It's not an elf.

It's a monster.

"Gugu~Gugu~"

……

The old man raised his eyes and looked at the big tree in front of him again.

"...I wonder if you are here now? Can you hear what I say..."

You should be able to hear it, right?
I've heard it all before.

The old man remembered the little purple flower.

"Thank you."

The old man's eyebrows relaxed, and his face turned red. "Thank you very much."

"Because of you and the gifts you gave me, I was able to recover so well."

"Thank you...for always giving me gifts."

“The fruit is delicious.”

"The little flower is very beautiful... I troubled you to find purple flowers for this old man..."

“The feathers are beautiful, too.”

"I wonder what bird's feather this is?"

"By the way, why did you think of sending me flyers?"

Thinking of the flyer, the old man couldn't help laughing again.

"Does it have any special meaning?"

“…I don’t mean to dislike it.”

“The flyers are fun.”

"I'll go to that store and try it one day."

"Want to eat together?"

……

"..."

……

The old man smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you what I think after I eat it."

"After all, it was you who recommended this shop to me."

“I will definitely go and try it.”

How long has it been since he last ate in the store?
The old man doesn't remember.
