Chapter 3558: Payment and Goods
"Thank you."

The boy spoke sincerely and earnestly.

He is really very grateful to Brother Xiao.

Thank you Brother Xiao for appearing in front of him when he had inexplicably lost two important friends.

Thank you Brother Xiao for being willing to listen to him say so much.

Thank you Brother Xiao for helping him so much.
He will always remember it.
That day, Brother Xiao walked up to him and held an umbrella for him.
……

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up.

"You're welcome."

……

Xiao Xiao waved to the boy who was leaving.

The boy looked back every few steps.

Until they reached the corner, the boy waved to Xiao Xiao for the last time.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the little girl in front of him.

His eyebrows were slightly curved.

“It’s always a surprise to see you.”

Every time a strange figure appeared before him.

If you are not careful, you may miss it.

……

The little girl blinked.

She reached out and tugged at Xiao Xiao's clothes.

"Meeting is destiny."

Aren’t humans the most concerned with fate?

"so……"

The little girl smiled brightly.

"Please buy me some ice cream~"

……

Xiao Xiao laughed.

"it is good."

……

The little girl opened her eyes wide.

So simple?

……

Xiao Xiao raised the corner of his mouth.

"You seemed very defensive towards me last time."

"this time……"

How come I suddenly let down my guard and became close to him?

……

The little girl rolled her eyes.

"You said it was last time too."

Last time she was on full alert...

It turns out that this human did nothing.

Just as she remembered, this human had a very peaceful attitude towards monsters.

No bias.

There is no disgust or hatred.

There is no flattery or closeness with any ulterior motive.

Very comfortable.

She likes this kind of atmosphere.

Have the right distance and just the right communication.

……

"Don't roll your eyes, little kid."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It doesn't look good."

……

"Oh."

The little girl responded subconsciously.

Then he reacted, “I’m not a child.”

……

"You look like a child now."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes and looked around.

"Let's go."

……

"what?"

The little girl found that she could hardly keep up with the pace of this human's conversation.

Didn’t we just say that children shouldn’t roll their eyes?

She hasn't continued her defense yet.

But now she wants to know more...

"Where to go?"

……

"Go buy you ice cream."

Xiao Xiao took a step forward.

"Don't you want to eat?"

……

"Ok!"

The little girl's eyes lit up.

She followed immediately.

"You're treating me."

The little girl stressed.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was following him closely.

"You've run out of money?"

The last time the little girl asked someone to buy ice cream for her, I generously treated the child to an ice cream.

When he got here, he not only didn't get the ice cream he was treated to.

He also wants to treat the little girl to ice cream.

Is this difference... a bit too big?
……

"Ah."

The little girl nodded honestly.

"It was all spent last time."

She doesn't have the habit of picking up money on purpose.

Who knows when the next time she'll meet a human who can see her will be?

Moreover, if some money is lost, humans will dig deep into the ground to find it back...

That time, when she saw that human's eyes were red, she put the money she had picked up where he could see it in a blink of an eye.

……

After that incident, she is less likely to pick up money as soon as she sees it.

Instead, they would wait on the side to see if any human would come back to look for the money.
The downside of this is...

Sometimes the owner of the money is not found, but is instead discovered and picked up by a stranger.

She would be a little annoyed.

According to the first come first served basis, the money should be hers.

But she couldn't argue with a human who couldn't see her.

With this lesson, next time...

If she chose to stay and see what happened, she would hide the money first.

If the owner of the money came looking, she would secretly put the money in a more conspicuous place.

If not……

The money belongs to her.

……

Therefore, picking up money is a very time-consuming task for her.

She would occasionally pick up some loose change.

It's not easy to get enough money for two ice creams.

Oh.

Actually, I still had some extra money after buying ice cream last time.

She held out her hand.

“This is the rest of my money.”

but……

"not enough."

On the little girl's open palm were two slightly crumpled banknotes.

"for you."

……

Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"Need not."

"Just keep it."

"My treat."

"I don't need you to give me money."

Besides, this money is not enough.

Ok.

It can’t be said that it is not enough.

The money is not enough to just buy the ice cream the little girl wants.

It’s still enough to buy other popsicles.

But it doesn’t matter whether it’s enough or not.

He promised to treat us.

How could he take the little girl's money?
……

"Oh."

The little girl wasn't polite to this human either.

He said it was his treat.

The little girl has curved eyebrows.

He looked very happy.

……

Xiao Xiao's umbrella was slightly tilted.

The little girl was completely covered under the umbrella.

"If you want ice cream, why don't you just get it yourself?"

Anyway, under normal circumstances, no one can see the little girl.

It's just an ice cream.

Even if the shop owner is suspicious, he won't take it too seriously.

of course.

The premise is that the little girl doesn't just grab the goods from one store.

If one or more ice creams are missing every day, the store will have to take action, no matter how confused it is.

You might even call the police.

That would be a big deal.

However, the incident was too big and had nothing to do with the little girl.

Human disturbances have no effect on the little girl.

She could have just been indifferent or just watched the fun from the sidelines.

……

The little girl looked up at the umbrella above her.

In fact, this little rain had no effect on her.

But this human behavior did not make her feel disgusted.

Some of them I like.

She put her hands behind her back.

He walked with the demeanor of an old man going shopping.

"Don't you humans believe in paying for goods?"

She tilted her head and looked at the human next to her.

The obvious difference in altitude between the two made her frown.

Her head was almost tilted up at a right angle.

Next time, she wants to be this tall too.

The little girl pouted.

I made a secret decision in my heart.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"Human beings believe in paying for goods."

"But you are not human."

Obviously not human...

Most of humanity can't see the little girl yet...

But the little girl was able to complete the transaction without any payment...it's really rare.

……

"Ah."

The little girl stretched her hand out of the umbrella.

Raindrops fell on her palms.

A slight coolness spread.

She narrowed her eyes.

"I'm not human."

“But I ate ice cream made by humans.”

"Then I think I should follow the rules of humans."

She is not an unreasonable monster.

……

The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes deepened.

"That's right."
