Chapter 3507 Touched
Ok?
The boy suddenly raised his head.

what?
……

"Do you feel happier?"

The older sister looked at the little boy's face, which seemed a little bit at a loss, and repeated her question with a smile.

……

The boy was really at a loss.

first……

Someone did something to make him happy...
He was already very grateful that the elder sister was willing to listen to his complaints so patiently.

did not think of……

The little boy felt a sour taste rising up his nose.

The corners of his eyes felt so hot that he couldn't help but blink.

A tear fell.

It hit his hand holding the flowers.

He shrank subconsciously.

So hot.

……

"Aren't you happy?"

The elder sister's expression was slightly restrained.

"I thought you'd like-"

In her impression, most humans like flowers very much.

Especially she remembered...
One night she passed by a house.

I was somewhat surprised to see so many humans gathered together.

Out of curiosity, she stopped.

Observe those humans carefully.

Soon, she knew why.

It turns out that so many humans gathered together late at night to watch a flower called Epiphyllum bloom.

……

A flash in the pan?

It's pretty.

……

This time, when she thought about how to make the child happy, she thought of the sincere smiles on the faces of those humans at that time...

So, did she do something wrong?

……

"like!"

The little boy shouted hurriedly.

"I'm not unhappy!"

"I am very happy!"

"I'm really happy!"

As he spoke the last part, the little boy's voice began to crackle with tears.

……

"is it?"

The elder sister was slightly stunned.

Then he pursed his lips and smiled.

"Just be happy."

Sure enough, some human preferences are very similar.

For example, enjoy the beautiful flowers blooming.

……

but……

The elder sister showed some confusion on her face.

"Then why are you crying?"

……

"I……"

The little boy was about to say that he didn't cry when another tear fell.

He pursed his lips.

Yes.

He cried.

Why is he crying?
……

"Because...because..."

The little boy's voice choked.

He couldn't quite control his emotions.

After hearing the elder sister's words "Do you feel happier?"...

He just felt a surge of emotions rising up.

Like waves hitting rocks, he was swallowed up in an instant.

He was a little bewildered.

Some were also frightened by their own intense emotions.

He reached out and wiped the tears from his face.

As a result, the more I wiped away my tears, the more I shed.

The tears that were originally just falling drops suddenly connected into a line and fell continuously.

……

"Do you really like it?"

The elder sister couldn't help but ask questions.

"If you don't like it-"

……

"like!"

The little boy exclaimed.

How could he not like it?

He loved it.

……

"You don't have to lie to me."

The elder sister was a little bit unconvinced.

"I love it when you cry so hard."

"It's okay if I don't like it, I-"

I can give you something else.

……

"no!"

The little boy shook his head desperately.

He explained eagerly.

“I really like it!”

"I……"

"I……"

The little boy gritted his teeth and finally said, "I'm just so touched!"

……

"……move?"

The elder sister blinked slightly.

"Will you cry when you are touched?"

She was a little curious.

She thought humans only cried when they were sad or in unbearable pain.

Are there other reasons for humans to cry?
……

For a moment the little boy thought it was strange that his older sister asked this question.

But soon, he ignored the weirdness.

He explained it carefully to his elder sister.

"Ah."

“People cry when they are deeply moved.”

"You haven't had one?"

The little boy frowned and thought hard, trying to explain to his older sister like a little adult.

"For example, when you are reading a book or watching a TV series, and you come across a very touching plot, do you feel a sour nose and want to cry?"

……

The elder sister tilted her head.

"I haven't read the book, but I have watched a little bit of the TV series."

There are so many interesting things about human beings.

Moreover, she is more interested in humans themselves than in the things they invent.

……

Hey?
The little boy opened his mouth in surprise.

"Big sister, don't you like reading?"

He likes reading very much.

Because when reading, he can immerse himself wholeheartedly in the world depicted by the words.

Not disturbed by the outside world.

You can also forget a lot of annoying things.

He would share the joys and sorrows of the characters in the book.

It seemed as if I was also experiencing the ups and downs of life with the characters in the book.

very funny.

It is also very desirable.

……

"Um……"

The elder sister thought about it.

“I can’t say whether I like it or not.”

After all, she hadn't read many human books.

Maybe after seeing it, she might like it.

……

"oh oh."

The little boy nodded.

……

"Do you only cry when you read a book or watch a TV show?"

The eldest sister asked curiously.

……

"Hey?"

The little boy shook his head subconsciously.

"of course not."

A strange feeling arose in his heart again.

The older sister's questions all seem quite strange.

He shook his head.

"Reading books or watching TV shows are just examples I gave."

“There are many touching moments.”

"for example-"

……

"Like you just did?"

The elder sister continued.

……

The little boy was slightly stunned.

Then he nodded.

"Ah."

"Like I did just now."

Because of the questions raised by the older sister, the little boy stopped crying at some point.

The tears stopped.

His eyes and nose are red, and he looks a little pitiful.

……

The little boy took a deep breath.

"I……"

He dropped his eyes.

Pretty flowers came into his sight.

He couldn't help but let his expression soften a little.

"not many people-"

"Do not."

The little boy shook his head.

“No one ever asked me…”

"Are you feeling happier now?"

He always digests all his emotions silently by himself.

Because no one cares.

Even his grandparents couldn't see through his pretense and see his true emotions.

he……

To put it bluntly, it is a shame to save face.

But he would rather say nothing than say something and get an awkward reaction from others.

He would rather hide in his tortoise shell.

Even if it hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.

……

"I am very happy……"

The little boy raised his eyes and looked at his older sister.

He showed his teeth in a wide grin.

Tears welled up in his eyes again.

……

The older sister looked at the little boy quietly.

The little boy's expression gradually became embarrassed.

The elder sister smiled.

It was a gentle smile that the little boy was very familiar with and his favorite.

"As long as you like it."

……

"If you like me, I'll give it to you next time."

……

The older sister's words made the little boy purse his lips suddenly.
