Chapter 3165 My Maple Leaf
After realizing this, the boy's heart beat faster.

He swallowed hard.

Hands clasped tightly together.

"that……"

The boy wanted to explain something.

The mouth opens and closes several times.

But he said nothing.

He didn't know what to explain?
Should I say sorry, because his tone just now was too rude?
Wouldn't this be... a sign of weakness?

……

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, the boy repeated the sentence.

“This maple leaf is mine.”

The tone was much gentler than before.

Not so aggressive anymore.

……

The boy pinched his fingers.

In this way...isn't it still a bit too weak?
He wants to take back the Maple Leaf...

He raised his eyes and stared at the man in front of him who was half a head taller than him.

The only thing...

He won't back down.

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Your maple leaf?"

……

"Ah."

The boy nodded vigorously.

"My maple leaf."

.......
The boy held out his hand.

"Please give it back to me."

The boy's eyes were burning.

Another hand that was clenched into a fist and hung at his side couldn't help but tighten its fist even more.

The next second, the boy was stunned.

Hey?
……

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand in front of the boy.

Facing the boy's surprised and confused eyes, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Here."

……

The boy was a little confused.

He looked at Xiao Xiao, then at the maple leaf that was so close to him.

After going back and forth a few times...

The boy finally slowly reached out his hand towards the maple leaf.

……

Just as the boy's fingertips were about to touch the maple leaf-
Like a casual breeze, the maple leaf flew away along the boy's fingertips.

……

The boy subconsciously reached out to grab it.

But it is always just a hair's breadth away from the maple leaf.

The boy gradually became irritable.

A burning anger grew in my heart.

Just a little bit...

Just a little bit...

It’s always just a little bit short!
……

The boy was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

At the end, he even waved his hands around like a desperate man.

……

"what!"

The boy couldn't help but growl.

……

The boy wanted to curse.

In fact, several unpleasant words that needed to be censored had already flashed through his mind.

……

The boy stopped.

Even though the maple leaf was right in front of him, he didn't grab it.

He encountered the same situation several times.

Every time hope arises in my heart, I end up disappointed.

It was as if the maple leaves were playing a trick on him.

……

The boy was angry.

Not mad at Maple Leaf.

He was angry with himself.

There's no point getting angry at yourself.

He was actually a little out of breath.

He also lacks exercise.

……

The boy's eyes never left the maple leaves.

The brain is working rapidly.

this time…..
Are you going to miss it?
……

Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand.

The maple leaf fell lightly back into Xiao Xiao's palm.

As well-behaved as an obedient child.

.....
"!?"

The boy's eyes widened.

What, what! ?

why?
The boy screamed in his heart.

what happened?

The boy was quite mad.

He had been chasing and catching, and almost exhausted himself to death.

He also has to endure the gap between reality and his imagination.

The most unacceptable thing is that he tried so hard but still failed to catch the maple leaf.

But now, look at them...

Think again about how embarrassed I was before.

The boy almost had a heart attack.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his hand.

The maple leaf floated steadily in front of him.

This scene stimulated the boy again.

The boy became increasingly confused and upset. …

Xiao Xiao's fingers lightly touched the maple leaf.

"Master Xiao Xiao."

Ling Feng's cold voice sounded.

Like a spring.

The water gurgles out with a wonderful sound like the sound of metal and stone hitting each other.

"Please come over here."

.....
As soon as the words fell, the maple leaves disappeared silently in the air.

……

"what!?"

The boy screamed unconsciously.

Maple leaf!

The maple leaves are gone...

and also……

The boy's face was filled with inexplicable horror.

What is that sound?
He turned his head quickly and looked around.

This space under the shade of the trees seems isolated from the outside world, a small world of its own.

The hustle and bustle of the street seemed to be blocked by a layer of gauze.

It came faintly from a distance.

Not very clear.

.....
nobody else……

The boy was stunned.

What...what was that sound?
He was so surprised.

So much so that he was only shocked by the sudden appearance of the voice and ignored the content of the words.

……

"you……"

The boy finally realized that the man in front of him was unusual.

"you……"

The boy swallowed involuntarily.

"Gulu~"

"Where did you take the maple leaf?"

……

“It did its job.”

Xiao Xiao slightly curved his eyebrows.

……

Completed your task?

The boy didn't understand.

He shook his head honestly.

"I don't know."

"That's my maple leaf, you-"

……

"Why do you think it's your maple leaf?"

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised that the boy still insisted on this statement.

“It obviously came to find me.”

……

"..."

The boy opened his mouth.

But I found myself speechless.

After all, Maple Leaf's previous performance was too obvious.

When he caught me, I struggled with all my might like a trapped cub.

But when she was next to this man, she looked very well-behaved.

The man stretched out his hand, and the maple leaf really fell on it obediently.

There was no sign of struggle on his part.

he wondered.

He refused.

He was also a little envious and jealous.

……

“…It’s my maple leaf.”

The boy's low muttering broke the silence in this space.

"real."

The boy looked anxious.

His hands waved unconsciously.

“I’ve known it since I was a kid…”

"We have always been together..."

Maple leaves are the bright red that can never be erased from his childhood memories.

Although when I think back on it as an adult, I always wonder if the other person was treating me like a puppy?

The image of him chasing the maple leaf somehow reminded him of a puppy chasing a frisbee.

Ugh.

How could anyone say that about himself?
Whenever the boy recalled himself at that time, he felt both amused and speechless.

I was a little speechless.

I couldn't help laughing a little.

And...feel grateful.

……

Because that time...

This should have been the darkest time in his life.

But because of its company, there were tiny glimmers of light in that dark time.

Even later when he recalled this time, he remembered more about the times when he laughed happily.

Instead of crying, feeling helpless, lonely, and confused...

……

"…it's my best friend…"

The boy's voice grew louder as he spoke.

The pronunciation is becoming clearer and clearer.

His expression became more determined.

Like new soldiers preparing to go to the battlefield.

The eyes are enthusiastic.

The belief is clear.

B.

……

Xiao Xiao smoothed the little white fox's hair.

"Then you may have made a mistake."

Ling Feng lived in the Xu family from beginning to end.

How can I be friends with this child?
