Chapter 3497 Crying Again

The little boy's steps were brisk.

He was delighted by the fondness the old lady showed him.

He wasn't actually annoying.

The grandmas who met him for the first time all liked him...

The little boy couldn't help but smile secretly.

……

But his good mood was ruined after he saw the dark house...

Stopped abruptly.

……

He hadn't knocked on the door since he had the key to the house.

Because one time he knocked on the door and his father scolded him.

He said he already had the keys with him, so why was he knocking on the door?

It wasn't a joking tone.

But it was a really angry and impatient tone.

Very fierce.

His nose suddenly felt a little sour.

I felt wronged and at a loss.

But can't show it.

I feel ashamed of myself for having these emotions.

After that, he never knocked on the door again.

……

The little boy silently pulled out the key from the door lock.

He paused at the door.

Then he walked into the house.

……

The little boy closed the door behind him.

But he didn't turn on the light immediately.

Just standing quietly at the entrance.

Everything in front of me was dark.

……

He felt like crying again.

He took a deep breath.

Lift your foot forward.

Unexpectedly, I was not paying attention and tripped over the raised floor at the entrance.

"Bang~"

He threw himself forward.

He didn't have time to react.

……

The little boy lay on the ground for a while.

He curled up into a ball.

……

I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a few seconds, maybe a few minutes?

The little boy slowly supported himself and got up.

He turned over and sat on the floor.

He put his hand over his nose.

Everything else is fine.

The worst part of the fall was his nose.

Hit the ground heavily.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of sourness and numbness mixed with a slight pain rushed to his nerve endings.

His tears burst out instantly.

……

After a long while, he felt better.

The little boy stood up, holding onto the wall.

He pressed the switch at the entrance.

Suddenly, the dark room was illuminated by light.

He stood on tiptoe and tried to move closer to the mirror hanging above the shoe cabinet.

Look left and right.

Apart from the red tip of his nose, there seemed to be nothing serious.

He breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

Just be fine.

……

The little boy slowly walked back to his room.

After putting down his schoolbag, he went straight to the kitchen.

He didn't wait like he did yesterday.

he knows……

He couldn't wait.

Grandma was wrong.

Looking at the water coming out of the faucet, the little boy looked stunned.

He came home.

But there was no father or mother waiting for him at home.

……

The little boy habitually wanted to sit on the swing, but found that someone was already sitting on it.

The little girl grabbed the rope with both hands and swung her feet excitedly.

The man behind the swing pushed it gently.

The woman sitting on the swing nearby smiled at the little girl from the side.

Hands slightly extended.

It seemed like he was always keeping an eye on the little girl's situation.

……

The little boy stopped.

He was a little dazed as he looked at the scene in front of him.

.....
The woman noticed the little boy.

She stood up hurriedly with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"Want to ride on the swing?"

"Sit down for you."

……

The little boy turned around and ran away immediately as if he was frightened.

Ignoring the woman's calls behind him.

……

"Why!?"

The woman couldn't help but take a step forward.

The little boy soon disappeared.

She turned her head and smiled helplessly at the man and the child.

"Was I scary just now?"

Otherwise why would the child run away when he saw her talking to him?

……

The man shrugged. "How come?"

"Isn't that kid a bit shy?"

"It was a bit scary to see a stranger talking to him."

……

"Maybe."

The woman reluctantly accepted the explanation.

"I won't sit down anymore."

To avoid the next little boy, the woman walked to the swing where her daughter was sitting.

After a while, she squatted in front of her daughter's swing and took pictures of her.

The previous episode was quickly forgotten by her.

……

The little boy didn't actually move very far from where the swing was.

He hid behind a bush.

Not far away, one could faintly hear the happy laughter of a family.

He couldn't help but cover his ears with his hands.

……

He buried his head in his knees.

The darkness made him feel safe.

His nose felt sore.

The corners of my eyes also felt a little hot.

……

I don't know how long it took -
The movement on his back made him look up suddenly.

The whole person looked like a frightened little animal.

His face was pale.

But the marks on his face made him look somewhat funny.

……

The next second, the little boy was stunned.

Hey……

……

The woman smiled.

"Yo."

……

"Big sister?"

The little boy stumbled.

He was so surprised.

"How did you know I was here?"

He stayed here because he wanted to wait until the swing was empty. Then he would go back to the swing to see if he could wait for the big sister...

The first two times he met his elder sister were on the swing.

……

"Um……"

The woman blinked.

"I do not know."

……

Hey?
The little boy was about to say something when he heard the older sister say -
“So it took me a long time to find you.”

……

what……

The little boy pursed his lips.

and many more……

The little boy thought of something.

"How did you know I would come today?"

He clearly didn't say anything before leaving yesterday.

No.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it.

It was my elder sister who disappeared behind me...

……

"I do not know."

The woman sat down next to the little boy.

She hugged her knees.

He tilted his head and looked at the little boy.

"It's just that you came here the past two days."

"I thought you would come today too."

"I saw it wasn't you on the swing..."

"I've been looking for you everywhere."

In fact, she smelled the scent of the little boy.

She knew the little boy had been here.

Then, there is a good chance that the little boy is still nearby.

really.

It didn't take her long to find the little boy hiding behind the bushes.

……

The little boy suddenly felt happy.

Although mom and dad don't seem to care much about him...

But there are still people who will look for him after not seeing him.

……

The little boy felt better because of the appearance of his older sister.

……

"Why do you look like you've been crying again?"

The woman's eyes are gentle.

……

"I didn't."

The little boy subconsciously denied it.

A face full of stubbornness.

But the voice already had a tearful tone.

.......
The little boy discovered this, too.

He lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

……

"what happened?"

The woman's voice became gentler.

It's like the spring sunshine in March, so warm and gentle.

……

The little boy sniffed and couldn't help but start talking.

In fact, he came to see his elder sister with the intention of talking to her.

……

The older sister became a very important friend to the little boy.

Whenever he was treated coldly or hurt by his parents, he would come to his elder sister to confide in and heal.
