Chapter 3204 Picture Book
When he was out of sight behind him, the boy started running.

Run all the way.

The boy stopped at his doorstep.

He put his ear to the door.

Well……

No sound.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The boy opened the door and walked into the house.

While changing his shoes at the entrance, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

The whole person froze there.

One foot is in slippers and the other foot is in sneakers.

.....
He knew what the sanitation worker had said to him just now.

The boy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

I am happy that I have solved a "mystery".

……

The sanitation worker must have heard the noise he made when he was swinging on the swing.

Seeing that he was alone, he wondered why he had made such a big noise just now.
That's why I asked him so many questions.

.....
The boy changed his shoes and walked into the living room.

He carefully recalled what the sanitation lady asked him.

He found……

He is probably a lonely child in the eyes of the sanitation worker.

Always goes to the park alone... and makes strange noises...

……

If I didn't know Yaya, the sanitation lady's guess would not be wrong.

He is alone.

But with Yaya, he is no longer alone.

Thinking of this, the boy curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

……

He will be more careful next time.

The appearance of the sanitation lady reminded the boy something he had been ignoring.

Ya Ya also said so.

He is special.

So he saw the crow.

Other people, like the sanitation workers, cannot see Crow Crow.

Then some of his words and actions will become very strange in their eyes.

……

And what does it mean to be weird in the eyes of others...

He may not have known it before, but now, after experiencing the rumors and the drastic changes in the surrounding environment after his father's disappearance, he understands.

Even though he still didn't quite understand...

I don’t understand why… Dad is missing… He and Mom are obviously the saddest and most upset, but why don’t they get any comfort… but instead get more criticism and hurt?
He has felt injustice and grievance.

of course.

This injustice and grievance still remains in his heart.

But because of his mother and Yaya, he gradually let it go.

The scars are still there.

He learned to ignore and forget.

……

Whenever the boy goes to the park, he will pay attention to the surrounding situation.

I will also intentionally control my volume.

However, that park was essentially an abandoned park.

Few people go there.

The maple tree where Yaya was located was in a relatively remote location.

In the next few times, he didn't even meet the sanitation lady again.

……

The boy gradually relaxed his guard.

On Saturdays when his mother was at work, the boy would get up when his mother got up, even though the weather was getting colder as winter approached.

The mother couldn't help but sigh again: other people's children like to sleep in, especially in winter, the warm bed has a fatal attraction to everyone.

Why don’t my children sleep in at all?
……

The boy had breakfast with his mother and walked her to the entrance.

Looking at her child waving goodbye to her, the mother suddenly felt a little dazed.

When did...

She was used to the child waving at her at the entrance every time she went out...

And every time she came home from get off work and opened the door, she was not surprised to see the child grinning at her.

She had spoken to the child several times.

She doesn't need her children to come to the door to see her off or wait for her every time.

no need.

The kids just didn't listen.

If she looked serious, she would feel sorry for the child's disappointed and depressed look.

Later she followed the child's preferences.

As long as the child doesn’t find it troublesome.

At first she felt a little uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it, but after a long time, she got used to it.

If the child didn't show up at the entrance one day, she would probably feel like something was missing, right?

……

Moreover, she vaguely guessed why the child did this.

Children in the past didn’t have this habit…

After the tragedy at home, she changed...and the child changed too...

she knows……

She didn't give her child enough sense of security.

She had wanted to talk to the child.

But I don't think it's necessary. After a long time, the child will naturally feel safe.

A sense of security can never be given by language.

……

These words really sound like excuses.

The woman lowered her head and smiled.

Actually...it's really an excuse, right?
She was a little hesitant to discuss these somewhat sensitive issues with her children.

She was worried that the child would ask about his father again.

She worried that she would lose control.

and so……

Just let her be the ostrich for a while.

Let time smooth everything out.

……

The boy watched his mother close the door.

He was stunned for a moment.

Soon, a smile appeared on his face.

……

The boy went out too.

……

"Crow."

From a distance, the boy happily called the girl's name.

……

He took the picture book and looked at it with the girl.

Because Yaya was very interested in the picture book he mentioned by chance.

Yaya has never seen the picture book.

……

He spent a long time picking yesterday.

He has a lot of picture books.

Because mom likes it.

Whenever they see a nice picture book in the mall, their mother will always buy one for them.

He likes it too.

Considering that girls would like warmer, brighter colors and cute animals, he finally picked a picture book that tells the story of a squirrel family.

……

really.

Seeing the girl next to him looking at the picture book with sparkling eyes, the boy's face was full of smiles.

……

He told Yaya the stories in the paintings one by one.

Just like his mother once did to him.

Occasionally, he would ask Yaya some questions.

So that Ya Ya can feel more involved in the story.

……

"Raven-"

The boy turned his face to the side with a bright expression.

"what happened?"

He found that Yaya was not reading the picture book, but looking forward.

He looked over in confusion.

All that meets the eye is green.

This park is not big.

There are few facilities.

The largest area is a pool.

The rest of the space is almost entirely occupied by lush, flourishing green plants.

So the boy was actually quite surprised that he didn't notice the maple tree behind him until so late.

There is a little red among the green bushes.

How conspicuous.

……

The boy found nothing unusual.

He looked at the gray-haired girl again.

"Ray, what's wrong?"

……

Crow withdrew his gaze.

It shook its head.

"nothing."

……

"Oh."

The boy nodded.

He paid no attention to this little, insignificant episode.

He continued to enthusiastically tell the girl the story in the picture book.

……

New week begins.

The boy walked into the classroom with his head down.

He walked straight to his seat and sat down.

Put down your schoolbag.

……

He turned around and opened his schoolbag, his eyes focused on a corner.

He took out his books and stationery.

And weekend homework.
