Chapter 353 Why are you crying?
Chi Xiuchuan accompanied Wen Shaoyang and stood in the house near the balcony.

He knew that his good friend couldn't sit down peacefully at this moment, so he didn't try to persuade him.

Just standing quietly beside your friend.

Wen Shaoyang couldn't stand it any longer, "Achuan, go sit down, it will take them some time."

Seeing that Chi Xiuchuan didn't react, he paused and said, "I just want to stand here."

"Yeah, I want to stand, too."

Chi Xiuchuan replied in a gentle voice, but his expression was firm.

The corners of Wen Shaoyang's taut mouth finally curved up slightly, but he said nothing more.

……

On the balcony, Xiao Xiao looked at the child, not sure if he minded or was completely unaware that he was the only one on the balcony with a stranger, and he did not rush forward.

No, in the eyes of the child, there were not only the two of them on the balcony at this time, but also his friend - Xiao Yao.

Xiao Xiao thought of it quickly.

The child was completely immersed in his and the little demon's world and ignored everything in the outside world.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but wonder whether the child had noticed the existence of a living person like him.

Probably not?
This child really only has eyes for his monster friends.

……

“Ah, it’s snowing!”

"Little demon, it's snowing!"

The child shouted in surprise, smiling happily with his face tilted to one side, and it seemed as if there was really another figure in his eyes.

"..."

"Yeah, that's great."

"Little demon, when the snow stops, let's go build a snowman and have a snowball fight, okay?"

"..."

……

Xiao Xiao watched the child's every move, his eyes were clear and his smile was cheerful, just like an ordinary child who was inexplicably happy seeing snow.

But maybe that's why it's bad?
Because he knew he was sober, he believed more and more in what he saw.

That's why I am even less willing to listen to what others say.

A twelve-year-old child is already old enough to have his or her own independent judgment.

……

seeing is believing.

The little demon was right in front of him, why should he believe that it didn't exist?
His eyes clearly saw the little demon.

……

Xiao Xiao walked slowly to the child, not looking at the child, but looking at the sky.

The snow was not heavy, so it was less harsh and more gentle.

The snowflakes drifted down in leisurely trajectories.

The whole world has a hazy and illusory feeling.

After a while, snowflakes floated on his head and body with the wind.

And on the face.

Xiao Xiao tilted his face upward, enjoying the cool touch of the snowflakes falling on his face.

Xiao Xiao waited until the conversation next to him came to an end before turning around and looking at the child who was looking at the flying snow with sparkling eyes.

"Xiaoyuan."

The child was obviously startled by the unfamiliar voice calling his name.

Seeing the child suddenly turn his head to look at him in shock, his eyes full of defense and vigilance, Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes and eyebrows were all softly curved, and his voice became even softer, "I am your brother's friend."

"My brother's friend?"

The child repeated Xiao Xiao's words, as if asking a question in return, but the expression on his little face relaxed a little. It was obvious that the word "brother" made him feel at ease.

However, the child seemed to subconsciously change his posture, with his hands slightly open, showing a protective gesture.

Xiao Xiao pretended not to notice the child's actions. He slowly squatted down and looked at the child at eye level. "Well, my name is Xiao Xiao."

"Hello, Xiaoyuan."

"...Hello, my name is Wen Shaoyuan." The child was obviously well-educated, and he responded politely to Xiao Xiao's self-introduction.

Moreover, looking at the stranger's eyes, the gentleness and smile in them made the child feel a little relieved.

During this time, at home, although Ben was the closest family member, the child saw most worry, helplessness, anxiety, anger, and many other emotions that he did not quite understand. Even though the Wen family tried their best to hide the emotions in their eyes, the sensitive child still noticed some of it.

The child feels very depressed and uncomfortable.

He didn't know why he was looked at like that?

His emotions were also on the verge of exploding.

The slap from Wen's father was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Wen's father, who had never hit him or even spoken loudly to him, hit him. The child felt pain on his face and his eyes were very dry. Tears flowed down his face. He was confused and angry.

Why do people say he is sick?

Why do people say that little demons don’t exist?

He is not sick!

The little demon is clearly right next to him!

……

Later, Wen's father's softening attitude made him feel even more aggrieved.

He stubbornly refused to forgive Father Wen.

He was also unwilling to pay attention to and believe his mother and brother.

He didn't lie!
He is not wrong!

He obviously did nothing wrong!

……

For no apparent reason, the child's tears began to flow.

In front of his family, a stubborn child is unwilling to admit defeat and show weakness. Doesn’t that mean he is wrong?
Even though his brother believed what he said later, his parents also believed what he said.

However, the child can occasionally still notice those looks that make him unhappy and depressed.

When he looked over in confusion, he saw only pure confusion and a gentle smile. He didn't understand why?
But there was inevitably a shadow in my heart.

……

The child's eyes were wide open and big tears were streaming down.

This person is a stranger, but he is my brother's friend.

His eyes were warm and made him feel at ease.

During this period, only Xiao Yao made him feel relaxed.

He likes Xiao Yao very much.

However, every time he spoke to Xiao Yao, he could vaguely sense an unusual atmosphere.

The child's innocent eyes were full of grievance and confusion, and he became more and more dependent on Xiao Yao.

Even though his family seemed to treat him the same as before, the child always felt that something was different.

But the children don’t want to ask why?
The child stubbornly believed that it was the fault of his family members, and even though he was very sad, he tried hard to pretend that he didn't care.

But it's really sad.

Even with Xiao Yao there to comfort him, he was still very sad.

Those are his parents and brother who have always loved and spoiled him.

Why do people seem to be different?
……

Xiao Xiao was startled by the child's sudden tears, and then he saw the grievance and confusion in the child's eyes.

Children's eyes are always black, clean and clear, without a trace of turbidity.

Therefore, once soaked in tears, it always becomes more pitiful.

Coupled with such straightforward emotions, Xiao Xiao sighed in his heart.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the child's eyes, "Why are you crying?"

……

The child's expression was stunned, and he seemed a little confused about what Xiao Xiao said.

He cried? How could he cry? Why did he cry?
The child reached out and touched his cheek, and it felt cold.

He cried.
