Chapter 3177 Gray Hair
but……

Mom's face changed.

The boy's breathing stopped for a moment.

Just when he thought his mother wouldn't answer him, she answered him.

Mom said she didn’t know.

Maybe never come back.

He didn't dare to ask any further.

He just nodded.

Oh.

……

He actually has a lot to say to his mother.

But he was frightened by his mother's previous violent mood changes.

And mom is busy.

I always seem to be in a bad mood.

He remembered what his grandparents, uncles and aunts said to him.

Tell him not to cause trouble to his mother.

They said that mom was very tired and worked very hard.

He has to eat, sleep and go to school obediently.

Homework should be completed carefully.

If he gets good grades, his mother will be happy.

Hearing this, his eyes lit up.

Yes.

He remembered that he went to school for the first time and got 100 points in his first exam. His mother... and father were so happy.

Dad lifted him up high.

Mom was smiling on the side.

Especially gentle.

To celebrate that day, his parents took him out for a big dinner.

He actually didn't quite remember where they went that day or what they ate.
He just remembered that his father and mother were very happy that day.

He is very happy too.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

He raised his head.

Blinked again.

……

He failed the exam.

His hands were tightly gripping the straps of his schoolbag.

Thinking of the test paper with a glaring score in his schoolbag, he felt very bad.

……

The students around me left chatting and laughing.

There were also people who whined about their poor performance on the exam, but their friends immediately came to comfort them.

He is alone.

……

I don't know why, but it seems like everyone has distanced themselves from him...

No one spoke to him unless necessary.

They didn't bully him, they just whispered to him occasionally...

Just ignore him...

……

He wants to do well in the exam.

But he couldn't calm down.

He felt very confused and helpless during this period of time.

His heart always seemed to be floating in mid-air.

He studied very hard.

But the knowledge just wouldn't sink into his mind.

There was nothing he could do.

……

How to do?
Thinking of his mother's reaction when she saw his grades, he tensed up with fear.

……

He stood there in a daze.

It was not until someone hit his shoulder that he came back to his senses, feeling a faint pain in his shoulder.

He stumbled forward a few steps.

The person who bumped into him continued chatting and laughing with his friends as if nothing had happened, and gradually walked away.

……

He pursed his lips tightly.

After a few seconds of hesitation, he also took a step forward.

He lowered his head and walked quickly.

……

The noise in my ears gradually faded away.

He could hear his breathing getting heavier.

His heart was beating fast.

It seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat in the next second.

……

He stopped breathing heavily.

He rested his hands on his knees.

"Huchi~"

"Huchi~"

He gasped for air.

……

After a while, he straightened up.

The unfamiliar scenery before him made him stunned.

He looked around subconsciously.

here it is……

He hadn't looked at the road before.

He lowered his head and walked around aimlessly.

Now he doesn't know where he is going?
……

He suddenly felt flustered.

Where has he gone?

……

At this moment, a maple tree came into his sight.

It is autumn now when the maple leaves turn red.

The fiery red maple leaves lit up the boy's eyes.

He couldn't help but walk towards the maple tree.

…He reached out and touched the tree trunk.

Look up at the maple leaves above your head.

The afterglow of the setting sun makes the already colorful maple leaves even more beautiful.

He stared blankly for a long time.

……

He felt his neck was a little sore.

He looked away.

He twisted his neck.

When he glanced at the surroundings from the corner of his eye, he realized that it was very quiet here.

……

He slowly lowered his hand.

He knew where this was.

It is a park outside the community where he lives.

Because it is quite old, not many people come here.

The park is not very large.

The elderly in the community prefer to walk, chat, sing and dance along the canal next to the park.

Moreover, there is a ping-pong table by the canal.

……

He had been to this park several times.

The park has a lake which occupies almost one third of the park.

He has dug snails by the lake.

I also caught small fish.

And tadpoles.

So he is quite familiar with this park.

……

only……

He tilted his head to look at the maple tree shrouded in the dim sunset.

He had never noticed that there were maple trees in the park before.

……

He suddenly felt a little tired.

He didn't mind the dirt on the ground.

Sit down directly against the tree trunk.

He took off his schoolbag.

I took out the failed test paper from my schoolbag.

Looking at the bright red score on it, the boy tightened his grip on the test paper a little more.

……

How to do?
The surprise he had felt for the maple tree had faded, and his eyes were now filled with anxiety.

He was fidgeting.

The muscles and bones in my body were so tense that I could even feel a slight pain.

……

The boy lowered his head suddenly.

He was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

He felt wronged and scared.

He thought about not giving his mother the test paper to sign...

……

What about the teacher?
What if the teacher calls my mom?
If only the teacher had just scolded him.

But he knew that the teacher would definitely contact the parents.

Even if he doesn't want to.

……

The boy's whole body was shaking slightly in his anxiety.

……

A series of continuous sounds came into his ears.

He raised his head irritably.

Who is it!?
The next second -
He was stunned.

no one?

Hey?
……

He looked around.

What was that sound just now?

But the sound stopped just as he was about to speak.

He was very upset.

He was extremely annoyed.

Not being able to find the source of the sound made him even more annoyed.

I always feel like nothing is going well during this period of time.

The depression in my heart is accumulating more and more.

It made him feel like he was about to explode.

……

呼-
He looked up and tried to take a deep breath.

He felt like he was fast-
His eyes suddenly widened.

W-what?
……

He raised his head more and more.

A head of grey hair filled his field of vision.

The grayish color forms a sharp contrast with the bright maple leaves on the edge.

Is that an old lady?

He had only seen hair color like this on old ladies.

but……

How did the old lady climb up the tree?

He opened his mouth to call for help.
The owner of the gray hair seemed to notice his gaze and slowly turned his head.

His eyes fell on the boy's face with a bit of casualness.

……

The boy's voice caught in his throat.

His eyes opened wider.

It almost gives people the illusion that the boy's eyeballs are about to fall out.

.......
Not a grandma! ?

The face that turned around looked very childish.

This is a little girl!

The boy was surprised.

Because he had never seen a little girl with such hair color.
