Chapter 3239 No more waiting

When Ya Ya saw him, it was as if they had never been separated for so long.

No nostalgia.

No surprises.

There is no anger or blame.

There is only indifference and indifference.

……

Even though I am very reluctant to accept it...

I also feel very uncomfortable...

But this was his second meeting with Ya Ya.

The boy could only accept it.

And digest it alone.

Because the only one who could empathize with him was Crow...

I didn't have the same feelings as him.

……

"Crow."

The boy looked at the gray-haired monster.

His hands were wrung together.

He was so nervous that he felt like he could hardly stand.

"you……"

"us……"

The boy was somewhat incoherent.

He is so nervous.

He knew that the next words might be his last conversation with Yaya.

He took a deep breath.

He was unwilling to give up just like that.

Even though he was really hurt by Crow's attitude.

But he actually deserves it...

He suppressed the discomfort, embarrassment, and awkwardness in his heart...

He risked his reputation to try again...

“We really can’t do what we did in the past…”

"Can't we be friends anymore?"

……

Xiao Xiao's expression paused slightly.

Then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

The boy's directness was somewhat unexpected to him.

really.

Children are more frank than adults.

Well.

He was referring to most children and adults.

After all, there are always exceptions.

……

Xiao Xiao reached for the plate.

But found nothing.

He dropped his eyes.

Soon, his eyes fell on a dark figure.

……

The little Taotie's expression froze.

Soon, the eyes under its armpits narrowed into slits.

It narrowed its gaping mouth.

Then he grinned.

It obediently handed the snack in its paw, which was almost into its mouth, to Xiao Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

He smiled and took the snack handed to him by Little Taotie.

He was not polite.

Under the eager gaze of the little Taotie, he ate the snack.

Well.

This dessert tastes really good.

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

……

Seeing the disappointed look on Little Taotie's face, the smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened a little.

"You've already eaten most of your dessert."

In addition to the snacks the boy and he ate, there was also a piece of snack each for Ajiu, Abai, and Feifei, and the rest of the snacks were eaten by this glutton.

At an astonishing speed.

……

The little Taotie curled his lips.

He went back to his old seat humming.

what happened?
What's wrong with it having a bigger appetite?
It is a big monster.

Naturally, the appetite is not comparable to that of these little monsters.

of course.

Little Taotie only dared to think about these words in his heart.

After all, Ajiu and Abai are not monsters with particularly good tempers.

It is a special situation now.

It’s better to be careful.

It's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog.

Longyou Shoal was tricked by shrimps.

snort!
The little Taotie snorted heavily in his heart.

……

Feeling the weight on his head, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

Then he turned his attention back to the boy and the gray-haired monster.

……

The gray-haired monster looked at the boy.

"friend?"

……

"Ah."

The boy nodded vigorously.

“Just like the old days.”

The boy is trying hard to save the friendship.

He clenched his hands.

His expression was sincere and eager.

……

"past?"

The gray-haired monster tilted his head.

……

"Ok!"

The boy nodded vigorously again.

"past!"

The boy's eyes sparkled.

"I can come and play with you."

"You will say hello to me." "You will say goodbye to me."

"You'll let me swing with you..."

The boy described the scenes of their past interactions.

The still young face was shining with memories.

Emitting bright light.

……

The gray-haired monster tilted his head and pulled his hair into a curl.

The boy's description brought back memories of its past.

what.

Yes.

In the past it had gotten along well with the boy.

Because it has been a long time since I met a human who can see it and chat with it.

It contacted the boy as it wished.

The picture book the boy read to it was quite interesting.

It's also fun to swing on the swings with the boys.

Especially the panicked look of the boy at the beginning -
Although on the surface it showed impatience with the boy's repeated attempts to rescue him.

But in fact, it found the boy's clumsy and timid behavior very interesting.

pity……

Later, the boy got used to swinging on the swing and found it fun, and he was no longer as panic-stricken as he was at the beginning.

However, hearing the boy shouting louder and laughing louder...

It thinks this is not a bad thing.

……

It thought that this kind of relationship between it and the boy would continue for quite some time.

What it calls not short is already a very long time.

You know, there is a huge gap between the lifespans of humans and monsters.

It is willing to spend some time with the boy.

Until the boy could no longer see it.

Or, it has a new interest.

……

did not think of……

It hasn’t ended the relationship yet…

The boy disappeared first.

When I realized that the boy hadn't come for a long time, it had probably been... two weeks since the last time he came.

Crow tilted his head.

Ok.

It remembers.

The last time they parted, the boy said goodbye to it.

He also said that he would come back to play with it in a few days.

result……

These few days are really long.

it thought.

……

Because boy, for the first time, it knew what it felt like for time to pass.

It felt like it had been waiting for the boy for a long time.

long time……

Then one day, it decided not to wait any longer.

It's tired.

The seemingly endless waiting made it feel bored.

It doesn't wait for the boy.

It was the boy who broke his promise.

……

It swings on a "swing".

The elevated field of vision allows it to see farther.

It suddenly wanted to go somewhere further.

The boy aroused its desire to communicate.

It's decided.

It's going out of the park.

Look further afield.

Find other humans with whom it can communicate.

Well.

Monsters are also fine.

……

of course.

It will still come back.

Its roots are here.

However, if a better place is found...it wouldn't mind moving very much.

……

It saw the boy again.

After an unknown number of days, the boy finally came to the park again.

Here it is again, under the maple tree.

He is looking for it.

It knows.

but……

It did not appear.

……

Too late.

The boy showed up too late.

He is late.

It came to its conclusion carelessly.

It doesn't like to be late.

Since you don’t like...

Why does it appear?
……

It no longer cared about the boy who came to the park.

They met only rarely.

It's always outside.

The boy should not go home too late.

Their times are staggered.

It would not stay there and wait for him.

The boy would not miss the time to go home.

In this case, they will miss each other again and again.

of course.

Even if it hadn't missed it, it had no intention of coming out to see the boy.

……

Its relationship with the boy had ended long ago.

They will no longer have any contact.

only……

It didn’t expect…

It just wants to say one sentence...
