Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5724 Don't you recognize me?
Xiao's mother frowned slightly.

"It's really hard to say this to someone you're not close to."

Even close friends find it hard to bring up.

……

Everyone nodded.

"indeed."

"Now that you mention it..."

Even if you say that to me...

"I'm going to curse you too."

"Me too."

"The main thing is that this is really..."

"It doesn't sound very good."

Who likes being told they have something wrong with their brain?

That means there's something wrong with their brain.

……

"so……"

Grandpa Zou shrugged.

"As for Old Meng, all we can do is what we did just now..."

"If you encounter him, do your best to stop Old Meng from doing something wrong."

"More..."

"There's nothing we can do to help."

……

"He has no family left..."

Grandpa Zhang murmured softly.

Even if they wanted to tell Old Meng's family about this and ask them to take Old Meng to the hospital for a checkup, they couldn't do it.

……

"Ugh."

Someone sighed.

"That guy..."

"It's rather tragic."

……

"It's pretty tragic."

Grandpa Zou nodded.

He looked at everyone, "So next time any of you encounter him, in a situation like today, if possible..."

"Let's lend him a hand."

Grandpa Zou still cared about Old Meng.

Tsk.

He's just too kind-hearted.

……

"Ah."

Grandpa Zhang also spoke up, "Thank you for your help."

"No need to do much."

"Just subdue him."

"He will leave once he realizes he has been subdued."

……

"He won't hit us, will he?"

Some people are worried.

The way Old Meng rushed towards Xiao Xiao just now still left a deep impression on them.

They are particularly vicious.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

They are terrible, those who wear shoes but are barefoot.

……

"will not."

Grandpa Zhang shook his head.

He won't hit people.

Uh.

The moment the sound of "ren" appeared, Grandpa Zhang's voice abruptly stopped.

Old Meng doesn't hit people?

Didn't he just want to hit Xiao Xiao?

……

Grandpa Zhang indeed saw the disbelieving looks on the other people's faces.

……

"...He doesn't hit people randomly."

Grandpa Zhang changed his story.

……

“At least we know that during these three episodes when he ‘had an episode,’ he did not show any intention to attack anyone other than his target.”

Grandpa Zou seemed to be deep in thought.

Even if they did, it was only in the process of breaking free from their control that they accidentally injured them.

Old Meng did not launch any proactive attack.

……

"Look, didn't he just hit us?"

Grandpa Zou opened his arms.

"He didn't."

……

"oh oh."

"indeed……"

"But he looked really fierce just now..."

"I'd better forget it."

"I feel like I can't control him."

"Me too."

……

The two elderly people were not too surprised by the crowd's retreat.

They also know that people nowadays don't like to meddle in other people's business.

Especially after a few bad examples, everyone is more inclined to mind their own business and not worry about what others are going through.

……

Grandpa Zhang smiled and said, "If there are many people around when he 'has an episode,' you can go up and restrain him."

"It's fine if it's just one person."

If he were to get injured as a result, he and Lao Zou would feel guilty.

……

"Ah."

"this is OK."

"If there are many people, you can go up and give it a try."

This time, everyone nodded in agreement.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled at everyone, said goodbye, and left the teahouse.

……

Walking to the station, he thought...

If I could run into Old Meng...

He arrived at the station.

The car has arrived.

I didn't see Old Meng.

Ok.

He smiled slightly.

I was wrong; I had been too optimistic.

……

Xiao Xiao got into the car.

what.

Xiao Xiao suddenly realized...

The butterfly that had always followed him had disappeared sometime ago...

……

Xiao Xiao's lips curved into a smile. It seemed that the butterfly had given up on being friends with A-Jiu...

He lowered his head.

Ah Jiu kept ignoring them.

……

Xiao Xiao sat down in a seat by the window.

The carriage was just as empty as when we arrived.

Besides him, there was only an old man sitting in the last row, his head tilted to the side, seemingly dozing off.

……

Xiao Xiao looked out the window for a while.

He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

……

Ok?
Xiao Xiao opened his eyes as if he had sensed something.

What comes into view is a butterfly fluttering its wings...

……

This butterfly...

Xiao Xiao was somewhat stunned.

If he hadn't admitted his mistake...

It seems to be the butterfly he encountered on his way here.

……

The colors and shapes match perfectly.

However, we cannot guarantee that they might just be the same species of butterfly...

……

A flash of surprise crossed Xiao Xiao's eyes.

Really...

Is it that butterfly again?
He lowered his head.

Is he so obsessed with Ajiu?
……

Xiao Xiao smiled as he watched the butterflies fluttering around A-Jiu.

Ok.

That's how persistent he is with Ajiu.

……

Does this butterfly live here?
Xiao Xiao looked out the window.

It wasn't far from the place where I encountered the butterflies.

……

Xiao Xiao closed his eyes again.

……

Ok?
Xiao Xiao opened his eyes again, as if sensing something.

The butterfly traced a graceful curve before his eyes.

It flew out the window.

……

Are you leaving?

Xiao Xiao's profile.

I watched the butterfly fly out the window.

……

Ok?
Xiao Xiao's eyes opened slightly.

That is……

……

The slender figure walking down the street with his head down looked somewhat familiar.

A butterfly flew right in front of him.

The other person seemed to sense something and looked up.

……

It's Old Meng.

……

Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised.

……

He immediately got up.

There's still some distance to go before the next stop.

Xiao Xiao stood at the car door and waited for a while.

……

His eyes remembered Old Meng's location.

……

The car slowly pulled into the station.

Stop slowly.

……

The car door opens.

Xiao Xiao quickly got out of the car.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes to determine the direction, but did not stop walking.

……

I saw it.

……

Old Meng's steps were somewhat unsteady.

Therefore, they walk very slowly.

There was none of the ferocity she displayed when she pounced on him in the teahouse.

……

Xiao Xiao extended his finger.

A butterfly landed on his fingertip.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

Did you specifically help me find him?

……

The butterfly flapped its wings.

……

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

Whether by coincidence or design, he wanted to thank the butterfly.

This result was brought to him by the butterfly.

……

Otherwise, if he closed his eyes to rest, he would only miss Old Meng.

……

Xiao Xiao's fingers twitched slightly.

The butterfly fluttered its wings and took flight.

……

Xiao Xiao walked up to Old Meng.

He stopped.

……

Old Meng, with his head down, didn't look up.

He wasn't curious about the identity of the shoe's owner who had appeared in his field of vision.

He walked right around the shoes.

……

Xiao Xiao once again blocked Old Meng's path.

……

After this happened three times, Old Meng finally raised his head.

His thin face showed confusion and a hint of annoyance.

"you……"

"Is something wrong?"

Old Meng slowly uttered each word.

……

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Don't you recognize me?"

They haven't been apart for even an hour...
