Chapter 3147 Choice
"do you know?"

The girl raised her head and looked at Chi Xiuchuan seriously.

“That big tree really can talk.”

"I will respond."

That's why she would always take the time to go there and talk to the big tree.

……

Chi Xiuchuan was slightly stunned.

……

The girl opened her eyes wide.

After a few seconds, the girl looked away.

"……I'm just kidding."

She didn't hold on.

If it weren't for my mother's reaction before and the smell of disinfectant floating in the air now -
In the hospital, even outside, you can still smell a faint smell of disinfectant.

It is clear to everyone that they are in the hospital at this moment.

Perhaps she can be ignorant and fearless.

She might be able to stick to her opinion regardless.

but……

She knew she was afraid.

She was afraid of being defined as mentally ill.

If it weren't for the lingering reluctance in her heart and the good impression the doctor left on her, she wouldn't have said what she said before.

but……

She still flinched.

……

The girl smiled.

Pretend that what she said just now was just as she said... just a joke that was not very funny.

When it doesn't come true.

She hoped the doctor wouldn't take it seriously.

She was a little afraid to look at the doctor's expression at this moment.

The thick regret surged like a wave and almost reached her throat.

She swallowed hard.

But I found it difficult to swallow.

The slight feeling of suffocation made her feel so uncomfortable that she almost wanted to vomit.

……

"where is it?"

Completely unexpected words reached the girl's ears.

The girl suddenly looked at the doctor.

"……what?"

The girl's mouth opened wide.

what?
Did she hear it wrong?
What did the doctor say just now?
……

"I'm asking, where is the big tree you mentioned?"

Chi Xiuchuan repeated his question.

It's even more specific.

……

This time, the girl heard it clearly.

Her eyes widened.

"You asked me...where is that big tree?"

……

"Ah."

Chi Xiuchuan nodded.

"Can you tell me?"

"I want to know where is the big tree you mentioned?"

……

"why?"

The girl blurted out.

Why ask her where the big tree is?
This doctor...

What do you want to do?
Does he...really believe what she says?

The girl was very confused.

For a moment, the thoughts in my mind were like a tangled mess of wool, and I couldn't make any sense of them.

……

“I want to see that big tree.”

Chi Xiuchuan is very frank.

……

The girl was stunned again.

"You...want to go see that big tree?"

"you……"

"Believe me?"

There was a light of disbelief in the girl's eyes.

She couldn't help but clasp her hands tightly together.

……

"Not really."

Chi Xiuchuan shook his head slightly.

“So I wanted to go check it out.”

"That's the only way to verify whether what you said is true, isn't it?"

……

"Ah, oh oh."

The girl nodded blankly.

"Yep."

……

"So, can you tell me the address?"

Chi Xiuchuan raised the corner of his mouth.

……

"can."

The girl told the doctor the address of the big tree.

The big tree is in an old neighborhood.

The area is mostly inhabited by the elderly and young people working there.

They are mostly not at home during the day.

The neighborhood is very quiet.

The lights are turned off early at night.

She went to the tree at irregular times.

Because there is a direct bus from her home or school.

If she had something to say and there was time, she would take the bus.

……

"……that……"

The girl pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something.

Some people don't know how to start.

……

Chi Xiuchuan seemed to know what she was thinking.

He shook his head.

"You'd better not go there again."

"I've already told you the reason."

"If you just want to find someone to talk to, then you have a lot of choices."

“The choice of not getting yourself into trouble.”

"Isn't it?"

……

"But……"

The girl opened her mouth hastily.

He seemed to be about to refute, but the voice that came out quickly weakened.

“That big tree can talk…”

The girl became bolder when she found that the doctor didn't seem to be too surprised by what she said.

……

The doctor was wrong about one thing.

She wanted to find someone to talk to.

But she didn't have many choices.

What she wants is someone who can respond to her.

Rather than a dead thing.

The so-called confession was not just her talking to herself.

……

Why does she have to take a car and spend time to go to places that are not so close?

And I have to keep it a secret from my parents and friends.

If it was just an ordinary big tree, she could just pick one at the building downstairs of her house.

Why go far away when you can't find something near?

Because, except for that special big tree, no other tree would respond to her.

I won't be happy with her.

Won't comfort her when she is sad.

You will not "share the same hatred" with her when she complains or feels aggrieved.

That's why she values ​​the big tree so much.

The trees are amazing.

She once asked the tree why it was so special?
The big tree just shook its limp branches in the wind.

She stopped asking.

If only the tree was willing to listen to her.

The rest is not important.

The big tree...is a secret that belongs to her alone.

……

just now……

Ask her to give up the tree...

Give up her own secrets.

Abandoning her secret base...

……

The girl was reluctant to leave.

For this reason, she felt resistance in her heart.

The expression on his face didn't look very happy anymore.

Why did she give up the tree?

……

“Are big trees important?”

Chi Xiuchuan looked at the girl who seemed to be about to lose her temper, "Or is your mother more important?"

……

"Mom is important!"

The girl blurted out.

No matter what, once you compare yourself with your mom, the winner... is always your mom.

……

"In that case..."

A smile appeared on Chi Xiuchuan's face.

"I think you can make a decision now."

……

The girl bit her lower lip.

Soon, her tangled facial features relaxed.

She made up her mind.

"Ah."

"I won't go there again."

Mom is the most important.

If going there would make my mother unhappy, then she would not go there anymore.

Although……

……

"Brother Doctor."

The girl looked up.

"When you get there, tell Dashu..."

The girl scratched her fingers hard, "I won't go there again..."

"Please tell it that you are sorry for me."

"besides……"

"Goodbye."

"Well."

The girl lowered her head.

"No goodbye..."

……

"uncertain."

Chi Xiuchuan's words made the girl raise her head suddenly.

what?
……

Chi Xiuchuan curved his eyebrows.

"When you grow up, if you still remember the big tree, you can go and see it."

……

"grow up?"

The girl murmured.

A hint of doubt appeared on his raised face.

"I've grown up."
