Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5257 There is another one

There is still some consumption of Ling Feng's demonic power...

.....
Goodbye, Lord Xiao Xiao.

Ling Feng bowed slightly to Lord Xiao Xiao.

Then he turned around and disappeared behind the wall.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Goodbye."

……

Xiao Xiao turned around and left.

……

This time, the child slept for a long time.

It lasted so long that the child's parents began to panic and get scared.

……

In the middle of the night, the child's eyelids moved slightly.

She opened her eyes slowly.

……

But I found that my vision was still dark.

She almost thought she hadn't opened her eyes.

She blinked.

After adapting to the darkness, my vision gradually became clearer.

……

The child saw his mother sitting in a chair beside the bed.

Mom fell asleep with her head tilted in the chair.

……

The child didn't say anything.

She turned and looked around.

She tilted her head.

The curtains were not drawn.

The moonlight shines through the glass onto the floor.

……

A bright moon hangs high in the sky.

……

Only the moon.

There are no stars.

……

The child's fingers moved slightly.

Ok?
The child was slightly stunned.

This is……

The child stretched his hand out from under the quilt.

……

Three red maple leaves lit up the child's eyes.

The child's confused mind suddenly became clear as soon as he woke up.

The maple leaf given to her by the maple monster!

The maple monster also agreed that she could give two of the maple leaves to her parents.

The child's eyes were curved into crescent shapes.

……

The child holds up a maple leaf.

……

The child turned sideways.

Let the maple leaves immerse in the moonlight.

……

The child turned to look at his mother and carefully sat up.

So that the maple leaves can better bathe in the moonlight.

……

So lovely.

The child narrowed his eyes.

……

The cold moonlight outlines the warm red maple leaves.

The blend of the two makes the maple leaves even more stunning.

……

The child grinned.

He looked a little dazed.

……

So much so that she didn't hear the sound of someone opening the door.

……

"……Baby?"

The child's father whispered.

Cautiously, with a hint of uncertainty.

……

The child's father went out for some fresh air and smoked half a cigarette.

He gave up smoking after he got married.

Oranges don't like the smell of smoke.

He also didn't want his family to be exposed to secondhand smoke.

During this period, due to the child's illness...

He felt really bad sometimes...

I would go to the corridor alone and smoke half a cigarette.

……

He doesn't smoke much.

After all, you will smell like cigarettes.

Let Orange and the children smell something bad.

……

After smoking, he would stand at the window for a while.

He would not return to the ward until the smell of smoke on his body had dissipated.

……

This time, seeing that Orange had fallen asleep and the child showed no signs of waking up, he got up and went to the stairwell to smoke a cigarette.

In fact, he doesn't smoke much, just half a cigarette.

More often than not, he would let the cigarette butt burn silently between his fingers.

……

As usual, after getting rid of the smell of cigarette smoke on his body, he returned to the ward.

He wouldn't leave the ward for long.

I'm just worried that something unexpected might happen to my child.

But I really didn’t expect…

This time when you open the door, you will see this scene...

……

The child, who had been sleeping for a long time, got up and sat on the bed.

Looking at the maple leaf in my hand under the moonlight.

The pale, almost transparent profile had a vague smile.

……

This situation...

It seems unreal.

……

The child's father's heart skipped a beat.

He unconsciously slowed down his pace.

He approached cautiously.

Then, speak carefully.

……

The child didn't hear.

……

The child's father called out again. This time, his voice was much louder.

Orange, who was dozing off beside him, suddenly moved.

……

"!?"

The maple leaves in the child's hand fluttered down.

She was startled by the sudden noise.

……

The child found that his maple leaf had fallen, and he subconsciously wanted to pick it up...

……

"Do not move!"

The child's father was so frightened by his behavior that his breathing stopped.

He immediately shouted.

……

The child's mother shuddered all over.

She woke up.

What, what happened! ?

……

The child's father quickly grabbed the child.

Pull the child away from the bed.

……

The child turned his head.

"……dad?"

The child's face showed some shock.

The child's pale face made him look shaky.

……

"Baby."

The child's father held the child's hand tightly.

"Too dangerous."

"What if I fall?"

……

"what?"

Orange came over, looking confused and anxious, "What happened?"

She was awakened from her sleep and her heart is still beating fast.

Confirmed that the child is safe -
Except for the panic on his face.

Orange felt half relieved.

She looked sideways at the child's father, "Dad, what happened?"

……

"fine."

The child's father recovered.

He calmed down.
"I think the kid was scared by me just now. The maple leaf in his hand fell off..."

"She's going to pick up maple leaves."

"Reach out of the bed..."

"Too dangerous."

"I just screamed it out."

"It's okay now."

……

"Oh."

Orange nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

Then Orange's face showed surprise, "Baby, are you awake?"

"are you hungry?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

……

Orange held the child's hand and asked a lot of questions.

.....
After a few seconds of stunned and confused, the child gradually understood what had just happened.

I also remembered...

The child immediately reached out and held his mother's hand, "Mom, my maple leaf!"

……

"I'll pick it up."

Before Orange could react, the child's father had already walked to the other side of the bed.

"It was daddy who scared the baby so much that he dropped the maple leaf."

"Daddy will pick it up for you."

……

The child's father bent over.

“…How many maple leaves are there?”

The child's father asked.

……

"Three."

the child shouted immediately.

She has three maple leaves.

……

“Three…”

The child’s father murmured.

I looked at the two maple leaves in my hands...

Well.

These two maple leaves are right next to the bed and are easy to find.

He saw it at a glance.

And one more...

The child's father looked under the bed.

Could it have fallen in there?

……

"dad……"

The child twirled his fingers nervously, "Did you find it?"

Her three maple leaves...

The three maple leaves given to her by the maple monster...

The gift she planned to give to her parents...

……

"immediately."

The child's father comforts the child.

He took a slight breath.

He knelt on the ground and reached under the bed.

……

Didn’t touch it?

The child's father frowned.

He bent down and looked under the bed.

Is it that I just didn't touch the right place?

……

"Didn't find it?"

Noticing that the child’s father hadn’t gotten up, Orange leaned over and asked.

……

"Ah."

The child's father took out his cell phone and illuminated the area under the bed.

……

Orange also squatted down.

……

The child supported himself on the bed with his hands and looked left and right.

All I saw was Mom and Dad’s backs.
