Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5809 Little Mouse
"I don't want you to get addicted."

If there's no limit to the fishing nets provided, the child will become like an addicted gambler, single-mindedly pursuing every possible turn of the net...

But it only made him look more and more pathetic.

By setting specific limits, children can satisfy their cravings without becoming overly emotionally unbalanced due to repeated failures.

That's fine.

……

"Correct."

The child's mother nodded.

indeed.

After the child's father said that, she immediately understood.

"The old man really put a lot of thought into it."

……

"Oh."

The child was still somewhat confused.

But since Mom and Dad have said so, then it must be true.

All she had to do was nod.

……

The child's mother smiled and patted the child's head.

"Little Mango was very lucky this time."

"I received another gift."

"I have another opportunity to play games all the time."

The child seemed quite happy.

They were genuinely worried and terrified for a long time after discovering their child was missing...

As time went on, this worry and fear grew stronger.

Just as this worry and fear were about to reach their peak...

The old man called.

……

"Ah."

The child's big eyes curved into crescent shapes.

very lucky.

……

"Thinking about it now..."

The child's mother had a sudden inspiration: "It's like Little Mango's balloon was deliberately leading her to the grocery store."

Then came the subsequent developments.

"...It's like a fairy tale."

……

"Yes."

The child's father smiled and nodded.

He gently patted the child's head, "Little Mango is the protagonist in a fairy tale."

……

Hey?
The child didn't understand much of the rest.

But the protagonist in fairy tales...

The child couldn't help but smile, his eyes crinkling.

"really?"

The child was both happy and a little shy.

Could she also become the protagonist of a fairy tale?
……

"of course it's true."

The child's mother raised her eyebrows.

"Little Mango is the main character."

"When Little Mango tells her story today, everyone will realize that Little Mango has had a very special experience."

……

The child pursed his lips.

But she still couldn't help but show off some of her little white teeth.

……

Because of what her parents said, the child considered telling others about her somewhat unusual experience.

But no matter how much the child opens and closes their mouth, they still don't know how to naturally start a conversation.

I was also too embarrassed to interrupt others.

Ultimately, only her parents knew about this experience.

No.

There is one more person today.

There's an older brother now.

The older brother also learned about her special experience.

of course.

The child always remembered his promise to the old man.

She didn't tell anyone about her uncle.

Including the older brother.

She didn't tell him either.

……

Several days later, her parents asked her if she wanted to go to the grocery store...

The child finally mustered up the courage.

Her parents dropped her off at the grocery store.

They didn't go in.

I just watched her go in.

……

The child turned to look at his parents.

The parents nodded slightly to the child.

This is an agreement between the child and the elderly.

They stopped following along.

They would wait for the child at a nearby shop.

……

Seeing his parents not far away, the child almost had the urge to run over to them...

Tell Mom and Dad that she wants to go home.

But in the end, the child did not do so.

She was afraid that her timidity would disappoint her parents.

……

The child pursed his lips.

She pushed open the door of the grocery store forcefully.

……

The familiar setting eased the child's anxiety somewhat.

She peeked around and looked at her surroundings.

I didn't see the old man.

She pursed her lips.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the child went into the store.

……

The child looked around.

Slowly walk inside.

……

Ah!? The child kicked something and fell forward...

The child opened his eyes wide.

My mind goes blank.

……

Ok?
The child's field of vision has changed.

The child was helped to stand upright.

……

The child blinked.

She turned her head.

"...Grandpa!?"

……

The old man's lips twitched slightly.

"Are you happy to see me?"

"Are you still unhappy to see me?"

The little guy has quite a range of expressions.

……

Uh……

The child blinked.

"……Happy."

……

"Saying one thing and meaning another."

The old man pursed his lips.

"Be careful."

The elderly person reminded the child, "There are many things in the store, so watch your step when you walk."

"You need to look at the front and the sides as well."

"Do you understand?"

Don't focus on the beginning and ignore the end.

We'll run into each other again then.

……

"Ah."

The child nodded obediently.

This little incident brought back the child's sense of familiarity with the elderly person.

It was also because the old man treated her the same way.

no change.

The child's anxiety, which had been building since they learned of the upcoming visit, finally subsided considerably.

……

"Give."

The old man handed three fishing nets to the child.

……

The child took it with some surprise, "Grandpa, you..."

The child tilted his head. "...Did you hold it in your hand the whole time?"

……

"how is this possible?"

The old man rolled his eyes.

Is there something wrong with him?
I always carry a fishing net with me...

"I only took it with me because I saw you coming."

……

Oh ~
The child nodded.

The next second, the child exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa saw me?!"

She thought she hadn't made a sound at all...

……

"I saw it."

The old man chuckled, "I saw some little girl sneaking in like a little mouse."

……

The child couldn't help but puff out his cheeks.

"I'm not a little mouse."

Children don't like gray mice.

"I am a little hamster."

Children love chubby, white hamsters.

……

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth.

This kid...

"Okay, okay."

The teacher was speechless. "You're like a little hamster."

"All right."

"Go catch some fish!"

"Mom and Dad are waiting for you at the door."

……

"how do you know?!"

The child was surprised.

……

"Guess."

The child's surprise made the old man somewhat proud.

This child is so timid, how could her parents let her come alone?

Besides...

This child might not even know the way here.
At least for the first few visits, the child's parents will definitely bring the child.

As for what happens next, it depends on whether the child's parents want to send the child off.

……

"Wow~"

The child looked at the old man with amazement.

The old man is amazing.

……

The old man couldn't help but smile.

"okay."

"go quickly."

……

The child nodded.

She took a few steps forward, and a look of doubt and uncertainty slowly appeared on her face.

……

"follow me."

The old man ignored the child.

He shook his head slightly.

It was his oversight.

The child has only been here once, how could they possibly remember the way clearly?
In particular, this child is not a child who is sensitive to direction.

……

The child's eyes lit up slightly.
