Chapter 452 "Embarrassment"

Xiao Xiao was startled and was about to take action, but he saw with his sharp eyes that the mushroom man was hanging on the edge of the cap.

My tense heart slowly relaxed.

Then Xiao Xiao shook his head with amusement.

It is true that caring too much leads to confusion.

Considering the monster's "thick skin and flesh", this height should not be worth mentioning.

But at the critical moment, his brain seemed unable to think of this.

……

"Little Fungus Man, are you okay?"

Xiao Xiao reached out and lifted the mushroom man onto the cap, put him down carefully, and then asked with some concern.

"Cuckoo~"

The fungus man shook his head vigorously, with a hint of shock in his eyes, but his cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.

It's so embarrassing!

The fungus man wailed in his heart.

How could he make such a fool of himself in front of Master Xiao Xiao? !

The fungus man couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, too embarrassed to face anyone.

……

“Pfft~ Hehe.”

Seeing the embarrassed fungus man looking shy and ashamed, Xiao Xiao couldn't hold back the smile in his throat.

The clear laughter echoed in the quiet courtyard in the early morning, adding a sense of remoteness.

……

"Cuckoo~"

The mushroom man felt more and more embarrassed by the laughter. With a "whoosh", he slid off the cap and hid behind the mushroom's stem.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao slowly stopped laughing, but the smile in his eyes became more intense.

"Sorry, little fungus man, I didn't mean to laugh at you."

"Cuckoo~"

The fungus man stuck out half of its head and shook its head at Xiao Xiao. It was not blaming Xiao Xiao, it just felt that it had made a big fool of itself.

"Hehe, it's okay, it was just a small mistake."

"As the saying goes, people can make mistakes, horses can stumble, so monsters can also stumble, right?"

Xiao Xiao said seriously with a smile.

But the fungus man was stunned, and there was obvious confusion on his raised face: Is it true?

"real."

Xiao Xiao nodded very seriously, and then immediately raised the corners of his mouth, "So there's no need to be embarrassed."

"But it was too dangerous just now."

"Be more careful next time."

Although the monster is resistant to falling, the fungus man does not look like a powerful monster. Moreover, such a small monster seems to be able to be blown away by a slightly stronger wind.

So, this fungus man, probably... maybe... isn't that resistant to falls?

Although you can't judge a book by its cover, for monsters, the bigger the size, the stronger the power, which is basically the same for all monsters.

Those monsters that seem small but are powerful simply have not revealed their original forms.

……

"Cuckoo~"

The mushroom grower scratched the mushroom stem with his fingers and nodded seriously even though the heat on his face had not yet subsided.

"Haha, be good."

Xiao Xiao reached out and lifted the mushroom man onto the mushroom cap again, and rubbed his little head, "Don't hide behind the mushroom."

"Look, the sky is beautiful today."

The gray-blue sky showed subtle changes in light and dark because of the faint sunlight, fading away some of the gloom and appearing exceptionally lofty and vast.

"Cuckoo~"

The fungus man looked up at the sky. Even though it was the ordinary sky that he saw every day, it still made him feel shocked and speechless again and again.

It is an indescribable feeling of emotion and yearning.

It is true that it likes the starry sky the most, but in fact it likes any kind of sky.

Even with the lightning and thunder, such a terrifying sky shocked it.

Even though I am afraid, I never hate it.

……

Looking at the mushroom man with sparkling eyes looking at the sky, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile. He watched the sky with the mushroom man for a while, then turned his head and said to the mushroom man who seemed to be looking at him with emotion: "Happy New Year, mushroom man."

The fungus man was stunned for a moment, but soon a happy smile appeared on his face, "Gugu~"

Happy New Year, Lord Xiao Xiao!
……

"Brother~"

Xiao Xiao put down the ancient book in his hand, sat up from the recliner, and saw the siblings Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin rushing into the yard.

He didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly as he watched the two siblings completely ignore him in the corner. Instead, they rushed into the house like a cannonball and quickly disappeared.

He looked in the direction of the gate, and after a while he saw his uncle and aunt who had lagged behind step into the yard.

"Uncle, aunt."

Xiao Xiao placed the ancient book on the recliner and walked quickly towards the middle-aged couple who were looking at him with a smile when they heard his call.

……

"Xiaoxiao, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."

……

"Hey, where are those two kids, Xiaoqi and Xiaolin? They kept talking about looking for you on the way here."

My aunt looked around and wondered why she didn't see those two naughty monkeys.

Didn’t he rush in as soon as he got off the car?

They couldn't stop him even if they shouted from behind.

……

"They're coming into the house."

The smile on Xiao Xiao's lips deepened a little, and he said very naturally.

"Come into the house?"

Just as my aunt was about to ask something, Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin, brother and sister, rushed out of the house again, shouting, "Brother!"

This time, they saw Xiao Xiao at first sight.

After all, Xiao Xiao and their parents were standing in the middle of the yard, and it was hard for them not to see them.

……

"Brother, are you really in the yard?!"

Xiao Qi really wondered how they could have failed to see such a big person just now?
When Xiao's mother told them that Xiao Xiao had been staying in the yard the whole time, they wanted to deny it, because they were clearly running through the yard shouting "brother", so if their brother was in the yard, how could they not notice him?
And, "Brother, why didn't you call us just now?"

Xiao Lin puffed up his cheeks and glared at Xiao Xiao angrily.

"That's too much, brother!"

……

"I wanted to call you." Xiao Xiao looked innocent, "but you ran too fast."

"I was about to speak when you came into the room."

Xiao Xiao's tone was helpless.

It seemed as if I had really planned to do so just now, but it just didn't come true.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin were choked.

The aunt couldn't help but take the opportunity to educate the two children, "I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't be so hurried."

"It's dangerous, and it's easy to miss something."

"Look, you said you wanted to find your brother, but your brother was right next to you and you didn't even see him, and you just ran over like that."

……

Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin secretly winked at Xiao Xiao with "painful" expressions on their faces.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyelids to hide the smile in his eyes.

These two guys.

……

"Hey, why are you all staying in the yard?"

"It's not too cold."

"Come in quickly, if you have anything to say, let's talk inside."

Xiao's mother walked out of the house and saw several people standing in the yard chatting, and hurriedly invited them into the house.

……

When you are busy, time always passes very quickly.

The sky was dark and the lights were coming on.

The annual New Year’s Eve dinner has begun.
