Chapter 3631 Encounter in the Park
Although Xiao Xiao really wanted to say that little Taotie had just eaten a lot of barbecue, considering that little Taotie's stomach was like that of another dimension, he swallowed the question.

……

Ok?
Xiao Xiao's profile.

"Feifei wants to eat?"

Even when they were eating barbecue in the private room, Feifei, who had been quietly lying on his shoulder with her eyes closed and not attracted by the barbecue, opened her eyes.

The direction of sight...

It's an ice cream shop.

There were several people queuing at the door.

……

"Feifei wants to eat ice cream?"

Xiao Xiao asked softly.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei nodded.

……

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

Feifei was the only one who didn’t eat anything from the barbecue just now.

Although it’s because Feifei himself doesn’t want to eat…

He had also been thinking about buying something to eat for Feifei after leaving the barbecue restaurant.

It was best if Feifei suggested eating ice cream.

……

The little Taotie above his head turned over heavily.

snort!
The little Taotie bared his teeth.

However, when he thought about having ice cream soon, the little Taotie's unhappy mood due to feeling that he was treated differently suddenly became sunny.

Ice cream～Ice cream～
……

Xiao Xiao saw big buckets of ice cream for sale in the store.

So I bought four big buckets of ice cream of different flavors.

....
Seeing the little fox in the customer's arms jump onto his shoulders, leaving the customer's hands free, the clerk swallowed his worries.

She has a sweet smile.

“Here’s your ice cream.”

"Please take it."

"If you don't eat it within a short period of time, please put the ice cream in the refrigerator as soon as possible to prevent it from melting and affecting the taste."

The clerk reminded the customer.

The guests should live nearby.

The clerk thought as a matter of course.

Otherwise, why would you buy so much ice cream at one time?
……

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Thank you."

He took two large bags of ice cream.

A hint of cold air wafted out from above the pocket.

The tip of the little white fox's drooping tail trembled.

……

Xiao Xiao continued to walk towards the park.

I hope that park isn't too popular.

Well.

Isn't it bad for him to think like this?

Xiao Xiao tilted his head slightly.

Then let's hope that there's a less-frequented area in that park.

……

The park gate gradually appeared in front of Xiao Xiao.

As the distance got closer, the situation at the park entrance became more and more clear.

Compared to the commercial center or the busy streets, the park is much quieter.

It can be said that there are very few visitors.

Greenery with higher coverage absorbs more noise.

It makes the already quiet environment even quieter.

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the park.

In an instant, even the air seemed to cool down.

He vaguely heard the sound of music and human voices.

Maybe it’s an aunt or grandma practicing dancing, or an uncle or grandpa playing chess.

.....
Xiao Xiao deliberately avoided the direction where the sound came from.

Walk into the woods.

There was almost no one in the grove.

After all, in the park, although there is good greenery, the air is also cooler.

But there is one big problem, that is, there are too many mosquitoes.

So even though people who come to the park have taken anti-mosquito measures, they won't go into the woods on purpose.

No one wants to be covered in bites.

However, being covered in bags is not actually the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is... the itch.

That's really a painful experience.

……

Just as his figure was about to disappear into the grove -
"Brother Xiao!"

……

A familiar voice suddenly sounded.

It broke the tranquility of this space.

The cicadas seemed to be frightened and paused for a few seconds.

……

Xiao Xiao turned around.

A familiar figure ran towards him at high speed.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth and called out the name of the person who came.

……

The boy stopped in front of Xiao Xiao.

He was a little out of breath.

"Xiao, Brother Xiao, is it really you!?"

The boy's face was full of surprise.

He just glanced around casually.

I didn't find anything at first.

Just a feeling in my heart...

Amazing.

It was as if his eyes recognized Brother Xiao.

He looked back hurriedly.

A somewhat familiar figure came into his sight.

Without thinking too much, his feet started running on their own accord.

He also called out at the same time.

……

very lucky.

The other party heard his voice and stopped.

Then turned around.

That face...

It’s Brother Xiao!
……

Brother Xiao smiled at him.

Called out his name clearly.

There was not a trace of strangeness or unfamiliarity between those gentle eyes and brows.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Great.

It seems like every time I see Brother Xiao, it is a very pleasant meeting.

None of the bad situations he was worried about would happen.

……

"it's me."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Xu Enguang, what a coincidence."

“Are you coming to the park?”

……

"Um……"

Xu Enguang nodded and then shook his head.

"My grandparents brought me here."

"They think it's not good for me to stay at home all the time during holidays..."

Xu Enguang smiled bitterly.

They also said that he had never stayed out so often before...

Why do we become more homebodies as we grow older?
He was a little confused.

He felt like he had been staying at home more, in his room.

before……

He did go out quite often before he moved in with his grandparents.

Because at that time, the older sister and the mushroom-headed boy were still there.

After he moved into his grandparents' house, his older sister and the mushroom-headed boy disappeared.

They all left him.

Not a single word was left behind.

Didn't say goodbye to him.

Just as they suddenly appeared one day, they suddenly disappeared another day.

No trace was left behind.

It seemed that no one else had seen them except him.

It was as if they had never been there.

……

Oh.

correct.

After the big sister and the mushroom-headed boy disappeared
No.

At first, he didn't even know they were gone.

He thought they had encountered some problems, so they didn't come to see him.

He waited patiently for them to come see him again.

pity.

He went to the place where they had met countless times to wait for them, but he never waited for them again.

……

During that time, he also went out frequently.

To wait and search.

Oh.

It dawned on him.

It was during that period that gave grandparents the illusion, right?
But it’s been a long time since that time…

A long time had passed since he gave up waiting and looking for his big sister and the mushroom-headed boy.

His time at home has already occupied most of his rest time.

Why are his grandparents only now "blaming" him for not going out?

He doesn't quite understand.

But he couldn't refuse his grandparents' request.

As soon as his grandparents spoke to him, he hesitated for a while symbolically, testing the firmness of his grandparents' attitude, and then nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't want to go out.

But if he wanted to accompany his grandparents, he couldn't refuse.
