Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5827 What’s the relationship?

The waste was somewhat surprising.

Such a fierce-looking monster...

It doesn't seem like it would follow humans.

It just so happens to perch on top of people's heads.

It adopts a docile attitude that is completely different from its fierce appearance.

……

what?
The child looked at the Superman brother.

Superman is leaving...
The child carefully held the water bag containing the goldfish and gave Xiao Xiao a big, bright smile.

"Superman brother".

"Thank you."

……

"You're welcome."

Xiao Xiao bent down and winked at the child.

"Be safe on the way back."

After reminding the child, Xiao Xiao straightened up.

……

what.

Xiao Xiao remembered something.

He placed the small glass tank containing the panda goldfish on the high windowsill.

……

The child raised his head, his mouth slightly open in a somewhat bewildered manner.

what……

……

The old man was also slightly taken aback.

doing what?
……

Xiao Xiao looked down and smiled at the child.

"This makes it easier for Uncle to watch the goldfish."

……

elder:……

He stared at the glass water tank on the windowsill, and his lips twitched.

This young man...

Are you serious?

……

哦-
Oh oh.

The child nodded in sudden realization.

She looked at her uncle's height.

indeed.

By placing the small glass tank on the windowsill, it will be easier for Uncle to watch the goldfish.

She didn't even realize such an obvious problem.

Every time, my uncle's big body would squat there...
Are you tired?

She gets very tired after squatting for a long time.

My calves are sore and numb.

Get up slowly.

Otherwise, you might stumble or feel dizzy.

Does your uncle feel the same way?
……

The child, because of his short stature, did not consider this issue at all.

The child looked at Superman with bright, sparkling eyes.

Superman is amazing.

……

Xiao Xiao chuckled.

Children can get bright, sparkling eyes from others with the slightest noise.

The child now sees him as a superhero brother.

Is the filter maxed out?

……

Xiao Xiao glanced at the empty space.

This monster looks fierce, but it doesn't smell of blood at all.

The child was squatting next to it just now, and the monster didn't make a sound.

It's as if the child doesn't exist.

The grocery store owner showed no signs of anything amiss.

I'm only worried about the child having hallucinations.

But they also thoughtfully wanted to protect the child's secret.

Xiao Xiao could roughly guess what his boss was thinking from the sudden glances he received from his boss in the previous few instances.

This child is very lucky.

She encountered a monster that doesn't eat people and an unusual general store owner who wanted to protect her.

It seems he doesn't need to do much more.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

All he needed to do was help the child scoop up the goldfish.

He has finished.

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards the entrance of the general store.

The child looked at the uncle, then at the Superman, hesitated for a moment, and then ran to catch up with the Superman.

She carefully held the water bag in her arms.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his head and smiled.

"Little Mango, will you walk me to the door?"

……

The child nodded.

"Thank you, Superman brother."

The child was taciturn.

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"You come to see me off."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Xiao Xiao winked at the child, "I should be thanking Little Mango."

……

After a slight pause, the child looked eager to speak.

……

Xiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

"All right."

"I know what you're thanking me for."

Xiao Xiao's gaze fell on the water bag in the child's arms.

He then looked into the child's eyes.

"One thank you is enough."

"You keep thanking me, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Catching goldfish was truly a trivial matter for him. The child thanked him earnestly again and again…

He thought he had done the child some incredible favor...

……

what?
The child blinked.

……

Xiao Xiao gently pressed down on the child's head.

"At the door."

……

what?
The child subconsciously looked up and gazed ahead.

……

really.

Arrived at the door.

So fast.

The child tilted his head.

She remembered the grocery store as being very large.

Every time she comes, it takes her quite a while to get to the water basin.

She even got lost a few times when she was walking alone.

It took a lot of time and went through many twists and turns.

If the old man hadn't found her, she could have continued wandering around.

After that, the old man would guide her every time.

She was very embarrassed.

But they lacked the confidence to refuse.

What if she gets lost...?
Wouldn't that be even more trouble for the old man?
……

This time, she didn't even have the thought of why she hadn't arrived yet... and then she arrived.

The child was quite surprised.

……

"Little Mango".

The old man who had been silently following behind the two spoke up.

……

The child immediately turned his head away.

what?
……

"I forgot to take out the lollipop for Little Mango today."

The old man's mouth curled into a smile.

"Go to the second cabinet on the left behind the cashier and pick one out yourself."

"Okay?"

"I have difficulty walking."

"Going back and forth like this is too tiring."

……

"it is good."

The child nodded obediently.

If the old man hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about the lollipop.

Yes.

Every time she came to the grocery store to catch fish, even if she failed every time, the old man would still give her a lollipop.

Holding a lollipop makes her very happy.

Today, she was probably so overwhelmed with joy at finally catching the goldfish that she completely forgot about the lollipop.

but……

Even if she remembers...

Given the child's personality, she was too embarrassed to bring up the lollipop with the old man.

She just keeps it all inside.

I care.

He pretended not to care.

It seems the old man has forgotten.

She forgot one thing too.

……

The child turned and went to the cashier.

……

The old man withdrew his gaze from watching the child's retreating figure.

He walked over to the young man.

"Young man."

The old man said in a low voice.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the old man.

His eyes showed a questioning look.

……

"you……"

The old man paused, then asked, "What's your relationship with Little Mango?"

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

what relationship?
"Today is the first day I've met Little Mango."

……

what?
The old man looked surprised.

"You don't recognize him?!"

……

Xiao Xiao understood what the old man meant.

He nodded.

"Ah."

We didn't know each other before today.

……

The old man's mouth was slightly open.

"That……"

The old man was momentarily confused.

Don't know what you want to ask?
……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Little Mango approached me on her own initiative."

"Because she saw how I had helped another child catch goldfish before."

"She wanted me to help her catch goldfish too."

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the old man's face showed a look of realization.

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be like this...

This young man was actually someone Little Mango herself found...

He thought that Little Mango's parents couldn't bear to see her fail so many times, so they specially found an expert for her...

……

The old man was genuinely surprised.
