Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5273 Chenchen
"I thought……"

"It's the peach that no one wants."

The child is taciturn.

My face feels a bit burning.

He squeezed the umbrella tightly in his hand.

That was actually the first time... and the only time... that he took something that didn't belong to him and that he thought didn't belong to him.

did not think of……

Now the peach's owner has come to visit.

And suffered a lot because of it.

……

“…S-Sorry.”

The child struggled to squeeze the sound out of his throat.

he did not do it on purpose……

He thought they were peaches that no one wanted.

Thinking about it now, he also had a bit of a lucky mentality at that time.

Those two peaches are so tempting.

He really wants to eat.

Finding no one around -
Hey.

What did the child think of...
“I yelled then!”

The child's face lit up.

"I was worried that Taozi had an owner, so I called out a lot."

……

The child's voice lowered, "No one answered me..."

He thought the two peaches were left behind.

No one wants it.

If he doesn't eat the peaches, they will go bad and be wasted.

……

"I left because of something."

The "old man" had a blank expression on his face.

This is also the first time I have encountered...

The situation where its tribute was eaten by people.

See you soon.

……

"Then how do you know it was me?!"

the child blurted out.

Then he looked embarrassed.

He said this as if he wanted to shirk responsibility...

But he really wanted to know...

The old grandfathers have all left.

How can you be sure that he was the one who ate the peach?

……

"I saw you."

The "old man" shook his head slightly.

"I just happened to see you when I came back."

“I didn’t pay attention to it at the time.”

"Then I realized Taozi was missing, and I thought of you whom I saw on the way back."

"I am sure..."

"You must have eaten the peach."

"I guessed right."

"Isn't it?"

……

The child's eyes were wandering.

Lips pursed.

"…You are sure of this now that I remember…"

The child felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have spoken so hastily just now.

Otherwise, the old man couldn’t be sure it was him, right?
wrong……

"What if you're wrong?"

The child was a little angry, "What about everything you did to me before?"

How can I compensate him?
……

"I am not wrong."

"Grandpa" answered confidently.

……

child:…….
"Why are you so sure?"

"If you see me, does that mean it must be me?"

"Could it not be someone else?"

"It's easy to wrongly accuse good people like this."

The child tried to defend himself.

……

"No one else."

The "grandfather" shook his head.

"only you."

And it has asked the birds around it.

The bird told it that it was a child who ate its peach.

……

child:……

He wanted to say something else.

……

"Why do you deny it?"

The old man was puzzled, "You admitted it before."

It does not understand the child's behavior.

……

The child was stunned.

Yes, yes.

He... He is...

Maybe you regret it?
Or unwilling?

In short, he was not sure what the purpose of his argument with the old man was?
……

"……sorry."

The child hung his head.

"I didn't mean to eat your peach."

"I thought it was a peach that no one wanted..."

"Your peaches are delicious-"

"Cough cough."

The child immediately coughed loudly a few times, trying to cover up what she had just said.

"I……"

The child tilted his head slightly and said, "I'll give you the peach as compensation."

Just two peaches, he...

Can't seem to afford it.

His New Year's money is all with his mother.

pocket money……

His mother said he was too young and would give him pocket money when he was older.

Usually, whenever he wants to buy something or his school needs him to buy something, he asks his parents directly.

Of course, the reason for asking for money must be clearly stated.

Mom and Dad don't allow him to spend money indiscriminately.

Well.

Luckily it was a peach. He told his parents directly that he wanted to eat a peach...

Then just give two peaches to the old man.

That's right.

The child felt relieved.

Just do this.

Mom and Dad won’t find out anything.

He likes eating peaches.

……

"I have no money."

The child raised his eyes and said, "I'll go back and tell Mom and Dad..."

The child explained quickly, fearing that the old man would think that he did not want to compensate him for the peach.

"Tell them to buy me lots of peaches."

"I'll come over and give you the peach when I get it."

The child soon made a plan.

"Okay?"

A smile appeared on the child's face.

I am glad that I found a solution.

……

Before the old man could speak, a voice came over.

"Chenchen!"

……

The child turned his head.

A familiar figure came into view.

"Mother."

the child cried.

Somewhat happy to see mom.

I am also a little confused as to why my mother is here?
……

The woman strode towards the child.

……

The child's face showed a look of fear.

"mom!"

……

A car was coming at high speed.

In front of the car...

It was the woman who was completely unaware.

……

"Pap~"

The child's umbrella fell to the ground.

The wind blew it to the side.

……

"Are you OK?!"

The old lady who pulled the woman back at the critical moment looked pale and frightened.

……

The woman realized what had happened later.

The splash from the passing cars wet her skirt.

She was stunned for a few seconds before her computer started to work again, like a crashed computer.

"...No, it's okay."

The woman's lips trembled slightly.

……

The woman looked pale.

The chill on her face made her realize...

Hey?
Her umbrella...

……

The old lady pulled the woman back a few steps.

She held her umbrella over the woman's head.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be so anxious..."

"It was so dangerous just now..."

……

"mom!"

The child finally came to his senses.

He was about to run to his mother.

.....
"Don't move!"

The woman suddenly woke up.

she shouted.

……

The child was frightened and stopped moving.

There was a look of confusion on his face.

what?
……

"Don't move."

The woman looked at the road and said, "Mom, go over there."

……

"Let's go."

The old lady accompanied the woman.

……

"Thank you."

After the thrilling moment just now, the woman was extra cautious this time.

……

The woman picked up her dropped umbrella.

She came to the child.

……

"mom!"

The child grabbed his mother's clothes.

"Are you OK?!"

……

"fine."

The woman smiled.

“Thanks to this grandma.”

"Excuse me."

"Morning."

"Mom scared you."

……

The child was relieved to hear his mother say everything was okay.

The scene just now really scared him.

……

"Thank you grandma."

The child thanked the old lady.

……

"Hey, you're welcome."

The old lady waved her hand.

Eyes narrowed slightly.

What a good and polite child.

but……

……

"Mom, why are you here?"
