Chapter 348: A child who saw a monster?

Chi Xiuchuan spoke slowly, his eyes full of sincere gratitude, "Thank you so much, Master Xiao."

"You're welcome."

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head, "I'm glad those kids are okay."

Seeing Chi Xiuchuan was about to say something, Xiao Xiao added, "We are friends, no need to be so polite."

"Ah."

Chi Xiuchuan responded, then suddenly fell silent, as if he was considering what to say.

Xiao Xiao did not urge him. Even though there was sunshine, the cold air after the snow still made people shiver. However, Xiao Xiao liked this feeling of deep coolness. He felt refreshed and the world in his eyes was a little brighter.

……

"Master Xiao, it's just a small matter. I'm a little embarrassed to tell you."

Chi Xiuchuan was still a little hesitant, mainly because Xiao Xiao's performance was too mysterious and unpredictable, so subconsciously Chi Xiuchuan had some respect for Xiao Xiao.

I don't want to disturb you too much.

Besides, Chi's father had told him this from the beginning.

Experts don't like trouble.

This was indeed verified from their interactions with Master Xiao.

Moreover, he and the Chi family have really troubled Master Xiao many times.

This made Chi Xiuchuan even more hesitant.

He had never made up his mind before whether to come and see Master Xiao, but today he unexpectedly ran into Master Xiao by chance. Maybe this was God's will?

……

"But you still want to tell me."

If someone else with whom he had an average relationship said this, Xiao Xiao would just go with the flow and continue talking. If you feel embarrassed to say it, then don't say it.

However, the Chi family was not the kind of people who had such a superficial relationship with him.

Moreover, since he said that he was friends with the Chi brothers and sisters, it was not just talk.

As for his friends, he is willing to help as long as it is within his ability.

"Tell me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Xiao asked directly to save Chi Xiuchuan from worrying any further.

……

"…This is what happened…"

Chi Xiuchuan was slightly stunned by Xiao Xiao's directness, but then his expression relaxed and he told the story.

There was a hint of helplessness between his brows.

……

It's not anything complicated.

A good friend of Chi Xiuchuan named Wen had a younger brother who was ten years younger than him.

Because he was the late-born son of Mr. and Mrs. Wen, and the family background of Wen's good friend was also very good, the child grew up in a honeypot.

The Wen family members all hold their younger brother in their hands for fear of him falling, and hold him in their mouths for fear of him melting.

As a brother who is so much older than my friend, he is no longer at the age to compete for favor with a little kid.

On the contrary, he likes this younger brother very much and almost treats him like his own son, even though he feels a little regretful that it would be better if he had a younger sister.

The younger brother who grew up with so much pampering, even though he hasn't grown up much yet due to his family education, it's not surprising that he has a willful and overbearing personality.

Originally, the Wen family felt that the child was still young and were reluctant to criticize him harshly.

However, some time ago, my brother suddenly seemed to be possessed and kept saying that he could see monsters.

At first, the Wen family didn’t take it seriously, and even agreed with the younger brother and teased him.

Because they all knew that their brother had recently watched an animation called "Yokai Tales", and they all thought he was just playing a role-playing game.

However, after a few days, instead of getting tired of the game, my brother became more and more addicted to it.

He would talk seriously to the air, as if there really was an invisible existence there.

He would prepare food for non-existent monsters, and even though none of the food he prepared was eaten, he still enjoyed it. He always talked to himself, and even the teachers at school called him.

As a last resort, the Wen family asked for leave from school for their younger brother.

It was a rare occasion that I spoke harshly to my younger brother.

However, the younger brother, who was naughty but respectful to his elders, fiercely resisted the elders' scolding for the first time.

Father Wen got so angry that he slapped his brother for the first time.

Since then, my younger brother has never talked to Father Wen again.

The child who was always the most noisy suddenly became silent.

Unless necessary, he no longer spoke to the Wen family, but always spoke to the air alone.

His expression was serious and the conversation was lively. If there was no one on the other side, the Wen family would almost think that there was indeed someone chatting with the younger brother.

Mother Wen was so worried that she burst into tears.

My friend was also angry and anxious, but he didn't know what to do.

My younger brother has been spoiled since he was young and has grown up smoothly. He is arrogant and domineering and does not allow others to disobey his words.

Father Wen only slapped him and showed some regret afterwards, but his younger brother never forgave Father Wen.

They didn't dare to do anything drastic, for fear of pushing their brother further away.

They invited more than one doctor to come to the house, but the younger brother either completely ignored the doctors and continued talking to his monster friend, or he became hysterical and threw things at the doctors, completely refusing to listen to anything they said.

Such a stubborn brother made the Wen family helpless and they didn't know what to do.

Later, a friend came up with a solution.

He pretended to believe his brother's words, believing that he could see monsters and had a monster friend.

This method has achieved remarkable results.

My brother calmed down.

Seeing that this method was effective, the entire Wen family adopted it.

My brother seemed to be back to normal.

My brother went back to school.

The friend told the younger brother not to talk to the monster in front of others because the monster was his only friend.

If someone finds out, they will snatch the monster away.

My brother nodded seriously.

As expected, the teacher from school did not call.

The Wen family seemed to have returned to normal.

Of course, except for the younger brother, everyone in the Wen family knew that this was just an illusion.

As long as there are no monsters involved, my brother is still the same brother as before and everything is normal.

However, whenever it comes to monsters, my brother seems to have touched a nerve and suddenly becomes neurotic and hysterical.

Such a younger brother is like a time bomb, which makes the Wen family very worried.

But they did not provoke their brother again.

They even thought that maybe after a while, the younger brother would understand that monsters were just his own hallucinations.

Based on this consideration, the Wen family members did not act rashly again.

……

"He told me about it and said his brother is getting better now."

“But it’s not completely healed yet.”

"I can see that he is actually very worried, but he keeps deceiving himself, telling himself that his brother will be back to normal soon."

"He's a very good friend of mine and I want to help him."

"Master Xiao, can you come with me to see the child?"
