Chapter 3225 Missing Maple Leaf

The boy unilaterally cut off contact with Yaya.

Now, I want to regain my relationship with Ya Ya...

But Ya Ya didn't give him a chance.

And the red maple leaf that Ya Ya gave him...

After he lost contact with Yaya for who knows how many days, when he thought of Yaya, he flipped through all his notebooks.

No?

No? !
There is no place...

……

He was stunned.

Then he searched his entire house.

He thought he remembered it wrongly.

In fact, I didn't put the maple leaf in the notebook at that time.

Or was it true at the beginning, and then he put the maple leaf somewhere else?

he does not know.

But as long as there is a one percent chance, he is unwilling to let it go.

……

still none.

Looking at the messy house, the boy sat on the bed in a daze.

It was early autumn and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

……

The noise in the room attracted my mother.

Seeing the situation in the room, the woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

What's going on here?
But rather than being angry, she was more curious.

Because the child became particularly sensible after his father left.

She felt both distressed and relieved.

She felt like this was the first time she had seen a house in such a mess?
and so……

In the end what happened?
……

Mother?

The boy came back to his senses.

The anxious and helpless mood paused.

But soon, the boy seemed to have found a life-saving straw.

He asked anxiously.

"Mom, did you see the maple leaf I put in my notebook?"

……

"Maple Leaf?"

The woman was surprised.

The noise was so loud that the whole house was almost turned upside down...

Just to find a maple leaf?
……

The woman shook her head slightly.

Sometimes it’s really hard to understand children’s thoughts.

but…….
Since the child asked her, the woman frowned and thought.

Maple leaves...

……

"Uh-huh."

The boy looked at the woman expectantly.

The hands hanging at the sides clenched into fists.

……

"……No……"

The woman gently rubbed her temple.

She shook her head at the boy with a look of regret.

“I haven’t seen any maple leaves.”

……

"There's none?"

The boy was disappointed at first, but then he kept asking.

"Didn't you see it when you were helping me tidy up my room?"

He thought that maybe his mother thought the maple leaf was garbage and threw it away when she was helping him tidy up his room.

after all……

Who would think that a maple leaf is precious?
……

If so...

Where is he going to find that maple leaf?

I can still try my luck with what I lost in the past two days.

If I had lost it long ago...

Does he have any other choice besides giving up?
……

"No."

The woman was a little uncertain.

"should not……"

"At least I haven't seen it recently..."

……

"Earlier?"

The boy clenched his hands.

"Anytime you see maple leaves in my house, you can..."

……

Looking at the child's expectant eyes, the woman also wanted to give a positive answer.

but……

She still shook her head.

"No."

"I have no memory of seeing Maple Leaf."

"Of course, it's also possible that it's been too long and I forgot..."

The woman was confused.

"A long time ago?"

"When did you lose the maple leaf?"

She thought the child had just lost Maple Leaf...

……

"..."

The boy was stumped by his mother's question.

He lowered his head.

"……have no idea……"……

The boy's voice was too unclear and he lowered his head, so the woman couldn't see his mouth shape, so she turned her face to the side.

"what?"

"What did you just say?"

……

The boy pursed his lips tightly.

He raised his face.

His eyes were still somewhat vague.

I didn’t dare to meet my mother’s eyes.

"...I don't know when the maple leaves disappeared..."

……

"I clearly remembered putting it in the notebook!"

The boy explained hurriedly.

"But I have searched all the books..."

The boy looked disappointed and confused.

"I just can't find the maple leaf..."

"I just wonder if... "

"The maple leaf fell out of the notebook."

"I searched the whole house."

"No maple leaves were found."

"I wonder if you mistakenly disposed of it as garbage when you were helping me tidy up my room?"

"Or maybe you've seen it..."

"Put it away somewhere else?"

……

"Then why did you suddenly think of looking for it?"

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

Since I didn't notice it was missing right away, then...

This maple leaf should not be a particularly important item for a child.

Why do you suddenly look like you won't give up until you find it?
“Is that maple leaf important?”

It's just a maple leaf...

What is important is definitely not the maple leaf itself.

But it is the meaning contained in the maple leaf.

The woman looked at the boy.

"Who gave you this gift?"

……

The boy's eyes suddenly widened.

How did mom know?!

……

"I got it right."

The woman smiled.

“That’s an easy guess.”

She arched her eyebrows.

“Maple leaves are just regular maple leaves.”

"If you like, there are maple trees in the neighborhood where we live."

"You can definitely go pick another maple leaf."

"Then why do you go to so much trouble to find that maple leaf?"

"is not it?"

……

The boy pinched his fingers.

The voice responded in a low voice, "Yeah."

"…It's a gift from my friend…"

"Very important friend..."

……

"That's right."

really.

The women guessed correctly.

She reached out and gently touched the child's head.

Then, her movements became gentler.

It seems like it is really a gift from a very important friend.

Because when she touched the child's head, he didn't react at all.

……

At the beginning, when she touched the child's head, the child would shake off her hand with an unhappy look on his face and angrily say that she didn't want his head to be touched.

Later, although the child would not shake off her hand, he still looked somewhat unhappy.

There was no reaction at all like this time...

It was obvious that the child's mind was on the missing maple leaf.

……

But the child still had one question left to answer.

Since it’s a gift from such an important friend…

"Why did you realize now that Maple Leaf is missing?"

The woman suddenly thought of a possibility.

"I put it away and never looked at it. Today I wanted to take it out and look at it, but then I realized it was gone, right?"

……

The boy's lips moved.

He nodded.

There was no sound.

Mom said so...it seems to be the case.

……

The woman nodded understandingly.

It turned out to be the case.

But finding that maple leaf...is not easy.

"Are you sure you put the maple leaf in the notebook?"

the woman asked.

……

The boy nodded.

He is sure.
