Chapter 356 Breaking and Waking Up
"But, I didn't see Xiao Yao either. Should I apologize too?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the child quite innocently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but there was no trace of joking in his eyes.

He means it.

"Ah, but the little demon is right here!"

The child exclaimed and glanced at the little demon beside him.

"Phiphi is here too."

Xiao Xiao did not refute or deny the child's cognition, he just stated a fact.

Philip is indeed here.

“You can’t see it.”

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment and stated a fact again.

The child was a little choked. He opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to put the words into words.

Is there any relationship between the two?

However, at this moment, his brain was like a ball of paste of a child, and he could only think dazedly according to Xiao Xiao's meaning. He did not or could not bother to study the meaning of Xiao Xiao's words in detail.

"Well-"

The child uttered unclear monosyllables from his throat.

……

"Hey, Xiaoyuan."

"I'll tell you something."

There was a hint of mystery in Xiao Xiao's tone, which made the child raise his head suddenly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I just lied to you."

Lie to him? The child frowned in confusion, then suddenly realized, and his face quickly brightened. Brother Xiao Xiao was lying to him that he couldn't see the little demon, right?

As if he could see what the child was thinking, Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head.

"No."

"What I said just now about introducing a friend to you was a lie."

"There is no Philip."

The child couldn't help but open his mouth and stared at Xiao Xiao for a while, confusion and bewilderment intertwined on his face. After a while, the child seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Xiao's words, and instantly his eyes were wide open with fire, "You lied to me!"

"why?"

The child didn’t understand why this older brother whom he liked so much would lie to him?

What he hated most was being treated like a child and deceived.

He has grown up.

He doesn't need white lies.

He wants to be treated equally and seriously.

Xiao Xiao clearly gave him what he wanted, why is he saying now that he cheated on him?
The child's eyes were wide open and very red, but he still stared at Xiao Xiao stubbornly.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Xiao Xiao remained calm and composed.

But the child panicked for a moment, and subconsciously shouted: "No!"

"What did I lie to you about? How could I lie to you? Why would I lie to you?"

The child kept asking back, and the more he asked, the more confident he became.

"Did you really not lie to me?"

Xiao Xiao seemed to be asking the question nonchalantly, but his understatement inexplicably made the child's heart skip a beat.

What should have been certain seemed to become uncertain.

The child shook his head, "No."

The voice sounded tough but weak, and carried a hint of hesitation.

"Does your so-called friend, Xiao Yao, really exist?"

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the child's "aggression". His expression was calm, and his words were gentle, but they revealed a strong power that made people believe what he said.

"Of course, it's right next to me!"

The child explained hurriedly.

He didn't know how many times he had made this explanation.
However, there is not a single person who truly believes it!

Even though his parents and brother seemed to believe him, the child was sensitive enough to sense something was different.

He thought Brother Xiao Xiao really believed in him, but he didn't expect that he would accuse him of lying in the end?
You actually questioned the existence of the little demon? !
The child's original tenderness and admiration towards Xiao Xiao turned back into his original defensive vigilance. His tightly pursed lips, flaring nostrils, and awkward, heavy breathing revealed the child's anger.

……

Xiao Xiao was not panicked at all. His eyes were clear and even cold. He just asked again, "Xiao Yuan, are you sure that Xiao Yao really exists?"

"of course."

It should have been like this, but facing Xiao Xiao's gaze that seemed to go straight to his heart, that clear and cold gaze seemed to extinguish the anger in his heart in an instant.

It also made him inexplicably suspicious. Is he really sure?

Do little demons really exist?
The child covered his head and suddenly felt a headache.

He tilted his head and stared at the little demon. Look, isn't the little demon right there?

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and stroked the child's head, with a sigh on his face, "Wake up, Xiaoyuan."

"Your parents and brother are all very worried about you."

"Your friends are waiting for you too."

"Can you bear to make them sad?"

……

In the child's fixed vision, the figure of the little demon seemed to become increasingly blurred, looming in the interweaving of light and shadow.

He couldn't help but blink, and then looked carefully. The little demon was like a fleeting shadow, and finally shattered in his eyes.

Finally dissipated in the air.

The child blinked again, but there was nothing in his field of vision. The figure before seemed to be just his own imagination.

He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao with some confusion.

What's going on here?
what happened to him?
……

"It's okay, Xiaoyuan just wants to make friends."

Xiao Xiao patted the child's soft head soothingly.

"I have a lot of friends."

The child puffed up his cheeks and said dissatisfiedly.

When has he ever lacked friends?

"Well, Xiaoyuan is amazing."

Xiao Xiao agreed with a smile.

"Humph!"

The child turned his head away somewhat proudly, but accidentally revealed the red tips of his ears.

"hehe."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

……

"Okay, let's go back to the house."

The snow was still falling, and the cold air made the child's cheeks turn white even though he was wrapped up like a polar bear.

The long eyelashes were covered with a layer of snow particles.

"Ah."

The child reached out and held the hand that Xiao Xiao extended to him. The warm temperature was transmitted through the gloves, making his whole body feel warm.

"Brother Xiao Xiao."

The child couldn't help but call out to the person next to him, and his little hands tightly grasped the young man's slender fingers.

"Ok?"

Xiao Xiao looked down at the child with some confusion, and saw his red nose and red eyes. He looked really pitiful and cute.

"fine."

The child smiled sheepishly.

Uh, Xiao Xiao shook his head helplessly.

……

"Wow~"

Xiao Xiao opened the glass door on the balcony, then pulled aside the curtains and walked into the room with the child.

……

The sudden sound of the glass door being opened startled Wen Shaoyang and Chi Xiuchuan, who had been feeling uneasy.

The two people's eyes, which were already focused on the curtains, suddenly brightened.

They knew that Master Xiao and Xiao Yuan were about to come out.

……

Wen Shaoyang became inexplicably nervous, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of the palms of his hands.

Realizing the expectation in his heart, he poured a bucket of cold water on himself.

Rather than hoping now and being disappointed later, it is better not to have too much hope in the first place.

This way the loss will be less severe.
