Chapter 3224: Red Maple Leaves in Spring

The boy looked up.

The red maple trees came into his sight again.

No matter how many times he saw it, the boy still felt shocked.

He couldn't help but be lost in thought.

……

"You're not going home?"

……

Yaya's plain words were like a thunderclap exploding in the boy's head.

"what!"

the boy exclaimed.

He forgot!
……

"what!"

The boy exclaimed again.

This time it was a shock.

He forgot he was on the swing.

With this movement, he was about to fall down again.

But unlike last time when he fell backwards, this time he fell forward.

He watched himself getting closer and closer to the ground.

……

"Are you stupid?"

Ya Ya twitched the corners of his mouth.

In a short period of time, the same mistake was made twice.

It is tired of saving people.

……

The boy's heart skipped a beat when he found that his falling body had stopped.

Then I felt relieved.

Call ~
The boy didn't dare to move.

He heard Crow's complaints.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He doesn't want to either.

It makes me look so stupid.

……

The crow took the boy directly to the ground.

"Stand still."

……

The stability of his feet on the ground made the paleness on the boy's face fade a little.

He turned his head.

I found that Ya Ya was not around.

He was slightly startled.

Then he looked at the maple tree with understanding.

really.

The crow was already sitting on the tree trunk.

He patted his chest.

"Scared me."

"Thank you, Raven."

"It's really great to have you here."

The boy's mouth stretched into a grin, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

With Crow around, the boy found that he had nothing to worry about.

This sense of security is different from the sense of security his mother gave him.

But what is the specific difference...

Because mom is mom, and crow is crow.

……

Ya Ya was slightly stunned.

Then, it laughed.

"That is."

"I am here."

"I won't let you fall."

"But if you make me angry, that may not be the case."

Crow bared his teeth.

.......
Uh……

The boy smiled bitterly.

"Then you have to give me a chance to explain or apologize."

How could he be sentenced to death right from the start?
If he fell down like he did just now and Yaya didn't take action, his fate would be... How miserable could it be?
……

Crow turned his head.

It does whatever it likes.

Who made it unhappy?
……

The boy shrugged.

Ok
This is not the first day he has known Yaya's temper.

"I won't make you angry."

The boy thinks he has a good temper.

Although Crow is sometimes too direct and naive, which makes people speechless, it is not a difficult... monster to get along with.

The boy felt that he got along well with Crow.

……

Ok?
The boy took a step back in fear.

The heartbeat became disordered.

……

"Crow."

The boy was helpless.

"Didn't I tell you not to suddenly appear in front of me upside down like this?"

Crow is not ugly.

No.

Yaya is a beautiful little girl.

However, no matter how beautiful the face is, it cannot withstand such behavior.

Especially the gray eyes of Ya Ya.

At close range, the impact is really great.

……

The boy patted his chest soothingly.

"Crow."

"If you do this a few more times, I'll have a heart attack."

……

"It's no use."

The crow swung its body, hooked the legs of the tree trunk and brought it up.

……

The boy opened his mouth.

In the end, it turned into a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

Fine.

He is useless.

He couldn't help but be scared.

……

"Here." Yaya waved her hand casually.

A red maple leaf slowly floated towards the boy.

.......
The boy opened his eyes wide.

He subconsciously reached out his hand.

A few seconds later, the red maple leaf gently fell on the boy's open palm.

In the night, the bright red seemed to be glowing faintly.

The boy's eyes seemed to be glowing with light.

……

"This one……"

The boy looked up at the crow.

Some confusion, but also some speculation.

……

"Here you go."

Yaya said casually.

It saw that the boy seemed to like it very much.

So she picked a leaf and gave it to the boy.

……

The boy's mouth corners couldn't help but rise.

It really was a gift for him.

He looked excited.

But I reminded myself to be careful not to tear the maple leaves.

This is the red maple leaf in spring.

……

The boy pursed his lips.

I felt my emotions boiling inside, as if I had a lot to say.

But when the words came to his lips, they disappeared.

In the end, he just said something in a stammering voice.

"……Thanks."

Then he seemed to be worried that his reply was too simple and would cause the other party to misunderstand.

The boy said hastily, "I really like it."

He raised the maple leaf in his hand.

"I'll keep it safe."

"Thank you for this, Raven."

……

"You should go home."

Crow's feet were dangling.

It looked down at the boy.

The gray eyes make it difficult to see the emotions behind them.

……

boy:……

He was expressing his gratitude sincerely.

In the end, Ya Ya's words were like a bucket of cold water.
"Wow~" it poured on his head.

The boy rubbed his cheek.

Some were dumbfounded.

"Ah."

"I'm going back."

"Thank you for the gift, Raven."

The boy thanked him again.

Then he waved.

"Goodbye, Raven."

……

The boy went home.

Mom hasn't come home yet.

His mother didn't come back until he went to bed.

He is lying on the bed.

The door of the room was not closed tightly.

He kept his eye on the door.

……

The room was very quiet.

The boy couldn't help but be distracted.

He thought of the scenes that had happened in the park before.

He suddenly turned over and sat up.

He groped on the table.

Soon, he brought over a hardcover notebook.

……

He opened the notebook.

A red maple leaf caught his eye.

His eyes glowed slightly.

……

it's beautiful.

The boy sighed.

……

The boy carefully picked up the red maple and admired it for a while.

Then he put it back carefully.

He closed the notebook gently.

He put the notebook back on the desk.

He lay back down on the bed.

This time, he fell into a deep sleep after a while.

……

This maple leaf was the only gift Yaya gave him during their short time together.

He had thought about returning the favor.

But it always ends with a headache.

He didn't know... what gift should he give to the monster?

He takes it too seriously.

Rather than giving a gift that Crow doesn’t like, it’s better not to give it.

He hoped that Yaya would be as happy and pleased when she received the gift as he was when he received Yaya's gift.

……

The matter of returning the gift was kept being delayed.

He thought, no rush.

Anyway, there is still a long time for him to think about it slowly.

……

pity……

He miscalculated.

It wasn’t long afterwards…

……

He didn't have the chance to send his return gift.
