Chapter 2941 Backing off

Xue Jiamin was stunned.

He turned his head and looked at Brother Xiao Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao blinked at the child.

"You should have something to say to it, right?"

"Don't you want to see it?"

"It will be too late if you don't say it now."

……

Zhu Gan, who was lazily lying on a tree branch, saw Xiao Xiao coming and propped himself up.

It lowered its eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao looked up and arched his eyebrows at Zhu Gan as if he had realized something.

……

Xue Jiamin looked at Brother Xiao Xiao in a daze.

Then he subconsciously followed Brother Xiao Xiao's gaze.

A rather stern face came into his sight.

If you only look at the face, it's really hard to believe that this face is on an animal.

……

Xue Jiamin realized belatedly that he felt a little scared.

He couldn't help but take a step back.

……

"Xue Jiamin."

Xiao Xiao reached out and held the child's shoulders.

……

Xue Jiamin turned his head.

Brother Xiao Xiao's peaceful expression also calmed his heart.

He pursed his lips.

……

Xiao Xiao's eyes were gentle.

"If you don't have anything to say, let's go."

"Your sister and Sister Xiuxiu are already waiting for us at the hotel."

They say a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger...

There is some truth to that.

As people grow older, they are surprised to find that although they are taller, stronger and more powerful, they are afraid of more and more things.

There are more and more things that I don’t believe in.

Because... they understand more and more.

If this child recalls the memories of that time in a few years...
I'm afraid it will just be regarded as a memory.

And won't do anything about it.

I won't be so persistent in looking for it.

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and pressed Xue Jiamin's head.

"Do you want to go?"

……

Xue Jiamin stared at Xiao Xiao in a daze.

Then he shook his head.

He reached out and grabbed Brother Xiao Xiao's clothes.

This seemed to make him feel much more at ease.

The child turned slowly.

Face the leopard again.

……

Zhu Gan lay back on the branch again.

The huge body did not put any pressure on the relatively slender branches.

……

Xue Jiamin swallowed with some difficulty.

He really wanted to see the leopard with a human face that saved him...

But I really saw...

He was a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know what to say.

He was even a little afraid to get close to... this leopard.

……

A leopard with a human face...

For a child who is still young but not too ignorant, the visual impact is undoubtedly huge.

The initial excitement, excitement and joy faded away.

He actually had the thought of retreating in his heart.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the child.

He saw the child's hesitation and uneasiness.

……

He placed his hands on the boy's shoulders.

Use slight force.

……

Xue Jiamin was stunned.

But he didn't turn his head.

Still staring at the leopard half-hidden among the green leaves and branches above.

……

"let's go."

Xiao Xiao bent down and spoke in the child's ear.

"Don't force yourself if you don't want to say anything."

Although it was a little funny, this kid who had been obsessed with finding a leopard with a human face... was indeed a little afraid of Zhugan.

"We're back to the hotel."

“There’s not that much time anymore.”

……

Hey……

The child looked at the hand holding his arm, and his face became anxious.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

His body unconsciously arched backwards.

....
Xiao Xiao let go of his hand as the child said. He raised the corner of his mouth.

"Aren't you going back?"

……

Xue Jiamin opened his mouth.

Of course he is going back.

but not now.

He hasn't said anything yet.

……

Xue Jiamin tightened his grip on Xiao Xiao's clothes even more.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and his gaze gently passed over the child's hand that was pulling his clothes.

Then he looked at the child.

……

The image of the leopard was clearly reflected in Xue Jiamin's eyes.

He swallowed.

Memories from the past, retrieved after so many years, surged in his mind.

That's right.

The leopard in front of him saved him.

This is a kind leopard.

He was his life-saving benefactor.

Otherwise, he might have been bitten by a stray dog.

……

The glory of the life-saving "benefactor" shines on the leopard's body.

Xue Jiamin's expression slowly returned to calm.

He even took a step forward.

Close the distance between us and the leopard.

Of course, he did not let go of the hand that was holding Brother Xiao Xiao's clothes.

……

Xue Jiamin's gaze suddenly drifted away when he met Leopard Face.

But soon, his eyes were fixed on the leopard's face again.

There was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.

……

"... Leopard... Sir."

Not knowing how to address the leopard opposite him, Xue Jiamin hesitated for a long time, and finally added the word "Sir" after the leopard.

The teacher said that the title "Sir" shows respect.

The leopard saved him and was his life-saving "benefactor".

Naturally, he has to respect the "benefactor" who saved his life.

So Leopard is Mr. Leopard.

……

Mr. Leopard?

A hint of smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

What a cute name.

……

Zhugan flicked his tail slightly.

This human cub is looking at it and talking to it?

Zhugan doesn't care what the human cubs call it.

They call theirs.

As long as it's not a malicious name.

Whether it should or should not be done depends on it.

……

Zhu Gan looked at Xue Jiamin indifferently.

His cold facial features looked somewhat ferocious when expressionless.

But at this moment, the slight laziness between his eyebrows neutralized some of the ferocity.

Makes it look less impressive.

……

Xue Jiamin cheered himself up in his heart.

The clothes he was holding tightly in his hands also gave him confidence.

In the eyes of children, adults are the most powerful.

As for who is more powerful, the leopard or the adult?
of course……

He didn't know either.

Judging from appearance alone, the leopard is much more powerful.

But from our daily life experience, adults can do anything.

……

Xue Jiamin tried hard to suppress the wild and chaotic associations in his mind.

He kept himself focused on the present situation.

"Mr. Leopard."

he called again.

When calling out the words the second time, they were obviously much smoother than the first time.

"..."

Xue Jiamin was stuck again.

Before meeting Mr. Leopard, he felt that he had a lot to say to Mr. Leopard.

It couldn't wait to meet Mr. Leopard.

So even though he was in the game, he couldn't completely let go of his concern for Mr. Leopard.

Until he asked his sister for help...

His sister asked him to keep an eye out for a leopard in the concert hall.

He finally felt relieved.

pity.

Except for the time when he saw Mr. Leopard's tail as if it were an illusion, neither he nor his sister found any trace of Mr. Leopard afterwards.

He was disappointed.

But I cheered up because of my sister's comfort.

He felt that his sister was right.

And it turns out...

My sister was right after all.
