what?
The little boy opened his eyes wide in confusion.

what?
……

"You don't have to go back to the store manager uncle."

Xiao Xiao released the hand that was holding the child's collar.

He winked at the child.

A smile appeared in his eyes.

……

The little boy looked stunned.

W-what do you mean?
"……Why?"

"I'm not going to..."

The little boy raised his hands.

"Return the turtle to the store manager uncle?"

……

"because……"

Xiao Xiao waved to the child.

"Recently."

The child is now in a position where people outside can see his back.

……

The little boy obediently took a few steps closer.

……

Xiao Xiao was still squatting.

He looked at the little boy.

"Because this little guy doesn't belong in that store in the first place."

"In that case, why did you return it to the store?"

……

Hey?
The little boy opened his mouth.

W-what do you mean?
"But the turtle is in that store."

The little boy didn't understand.

"I saw the turtle in the aquarium in that store..."

How come this turtle doesn’t belong to that store?

……

"Do you know why, whether you turned out your trouser pockets or the store manager searched you..."

"They didn't notice this little guy?"

Xiao Xiao is very patient.

It takes a lot of effort for adults to accept this.

What about a child?
And in addition to accepting it, the child must first understand it.

……

The little boy was stunned.

he does not know……

He was actually very confused at that time.

He had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide... he could only turn his pants pockets inside out -
Earlier, on his way out of the spot in a hurry, he had stuffed the turtle into his trouser pocket.

He was desperate.

He was sure he was going to be discovered.

He couldn't imagine the consequences of being discovered.

His fingers were shaking as he searched his pockets.

result……

Things are starting to get weird.

The store manager uncle took advantage of him not paying attention and searched both of his pockets.

He was stunned.

What made him even more confused was yet to come.

The store manager uncle... and others... grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters...

I didn’t even see any turtles! ?

He lowered his head.

He watched as the turtle, which had been lying on the turned-out pocket, slowly crawled onto his clothes.

It’s the starting position.

At the corner of the shirt near the trouser pocket.

He resisted the urge to reach out and cover the turtle.

He was worried that his actions would be discovered by the store manager and others...

……

but……

With a quick glance at the store manager standing in front of him, shock and confusion suppressed most of the fear in the little boy's heart.

He doesn't understand...

But it was undeniable that he felt a great sense of relief.

He felt very fortunate.

He said something.

There are both true and false ones.

It is absolutely true that the store manager uncle is very fierce and he is afraid of the store manager uncle.

……

The store manager uncle really left...

The little boy couldn't believe it.

The moment before, he had fallen into despair.

Who would have expected...

The next moment, the situation took a turn for the worse...

never mind?
……

Until he really left, no one stopped him...

The little boy finally had some sense of reality...

He is really fine!

He reached up and covered the turtle on his clothes.

He slowly picked up the turtle.

He clasped his hands together.

He hid the turtle in the palm of his hand.

……

He finally found a suitable place.

He walked quickly into the alley.

Here, he can finally release his emotions.

So much happened in such a short time just now...the little boy was completely overwhelmed.

Just as he grinned and looked at the turtle in his palm-
An unexpected sound reached his ears.

He was terrified.

……

So, he was actually also confused about the question raised by his elder brother.

But I haven't had time to think about it.

He was just congratulating himself for having escaped.

As for why...

It seemed insignificant at the time.

But now my elder brother asks...

The little boy looked confused.

"yes……"

"Big brother."

The little boy opened his eyes wide and looked at the big brother in front of him.

"Why... didn't the store manager and the others see the turtle?"

……

“Because they can’t see.”

Xiao Xiao smiled.

The answer was an understatement.

……

The little boy was stunned.

"……what?"

Can't they see?
"Why can't they see it?"

The little boy became more and more confused.

……

"Because this little guy is special."

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

“So only special people can see it.”

“You’re the special one who can see it.”

"But the store manager uncle and his friends are not."

"This little guy ran to the aquarium in that store on his own."

"The store manager didn't even know there was a little guy like this in his store."

"The little guy has the right to go or stay."

"It followed you."

"Of course you didn't steal it."

……

The little boy was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

He shook his head.

"...Uncle store manager...and can't anyone see the turtle?"

"Am I the only one who can see the turtle?"

"wrong!"

Without waiting for Xiao Xiao to answer, the little boy shook his head.

He looked like he had thought of something.

"Jia Xun'er saw it too!"

……

"Jia Xuner?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Isn't this name...

……

“She is my classmate.”

The little boy explained seriously.

"Actually, I overheard the turtle story from her."

The little boy whispered.

……

"Eavesdropping?"

Xiao Xiao cooperated with the little boy and lowered his voice.

……

"Ah."

The little boy nodded.

"It's not really eavesdropping."

“They were talking there.”

"I overheard it by chance."

Because he was interested in what Jia Xueer said, he did not avoid him but instead pricked up his ears.

"...Jia Xueer said she saw a scary-looking turtle in a shop in the flower, bird and fish market."

“It looks different from other turtles.”

"She also said that this was a secret between her and her elder brother."

"What secret?"

The little boy sneered, "Didn't you just say it yourself?"

"She also asked her friend not to tell anyone else."

"She said that big brother didn't let her tell anyone else."

“She didn’t even do it herself.”

The little boy said as he complained about the little girl.

……

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

“She didn’t do it.”

He was sure that the Jia Xun'er the little boy was talking about was the Jia Xun'er he knew.

In fact, when he heard this name, he was basically sure...

After all, such a special name is not easy to have the same name as others.

Xiao Xiao felt a little emotional.

Is it such a coincidence?
The little boy in front of me turned out to be Nannan’s classmate…

I also heard the news about the turtle from Nannan.

Xiao Xiao didn't feel too bad about the fact that Nannan didn't keep her promise to him.

That promise was made for the little girl...
