Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5828 The Second Cabinet on the Left

because……

"Little Mango actually found you on her own?!"

The old man marveled.

"Such a timid and shy child..."

I've been to the general store so many times...

The child is still slightly startled every time he appears.

Ok.

It's probably also related to the fact that his appearance isn't very approachable.

The old man pursed his lips.

……

Such a timid child...

She actually dared to talk to a stranger all by herself...

of course.

So far, the results are positive.

He also temporarily stopped mentioning that children shouldn't talk to strangers.

……

The old man tried hard to suppress his surprise.

Then, the old man, realizing something, was even more surprised.

"Today is your first day meeting Little Mango..."

"Then why weren't you surprised at all by Little Mango's reaction just now?!"

The old man opened his mouth wide.

A look of shock.

He assumed that young people were used to it and found it unsurprising...

That's not the case at all.

Then why...

"The first time you saw it..."

The old man stammered and spoke incoherently.

"you……"

"Are you not surprised at all?"

"you……"

……

The old man took a deep breath.

He was so excited.

He slowly calmed himself down.

"you……"

He looked at the young man.

Facial twitching.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

Have you seen anyone else do this?

That's why I'm not surprised by Little Mango's strange behavior...
……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"almost."

....
The elderly man seemed to be in a state of exhaustion.

So that's how it is...
"You've seen other people too..."

……

"The child is still young."

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and patted the little white fox's head.

"She'll get better when she's older."

……

Is that so...?
After a brief moment of surprise, the old man nodded.

That's right.

The child is still young...

"Is the child you saw... alright now?"

The old man seemed inexplicably nervous.

He clenched his hands tightly.

……

"All right."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"She was very controversial when she was a child."

Many people thought she was sick.

"I saw many doctors and suffered a lot."

"None of them had any effect."

"...but when she grew up..."

"It will be fine naturally."

"So, there's really no need to do so much..."

"You don't have to suffer so much."

"Leave it to time."

"The problem will then be easily solved."

……

The old man's mouth was slightly open.

He...understood what the young man meant by having suffered a lot.

This is also what he's worried about.

……

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

……

what?
The old man's thoughts went blank for a moment.

what?
The old man looked at the young man blankly.

Everything's fine...

Why did this young man thank him?

……

"The special way you protect Little Mango."

Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

……

"You figured it out!?"

The old man blurted it out.

……

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

He saw it.

……

The old man licked his lips slightly.

He then gave a wry smile.

"I only did what I could..."

……

"That's enough."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Thank you for your concern for Little Mango."

……

The old man was taken aback.

He was a little embarrassed.

His gaze wandered.

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

The old man straightened his expression and said, "No."

"Why should you thank me on behalf of Little Mango?"

"You haven't known Little Mango for as long as I have."

The young man acted like Little Mango's family.

They actually have no connection whatsoever.

Xiao Xiao shrugged slightly.

"Don't worry."

He simply wanted to express his gratitude to the elderly man for his actions.

……

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth.

This guy……

……

but……

The old man smiled slightly.

That child...

I always seem to meet good people.

really.

Good children will be blessed by God.

……

Xiao Xiao turned his head as if he sensed something.

……

The child walked over with slightly flushed cheeks and an excited expression.

The child was slightly taken aback when his eyes met those of the Superman.

Then, the child pursed his lips slightly, looking a little awkward.

……

"found it?"

The old man said with a smile.

……

"Ah."

The child breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, the child puffed out his cheeks slightly when he said this.

"Grandpa, you're wrong."

……

what?
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What did I say wrong?"

……

"The lollipop isn't in the second cabinet on the left behind the cashier!"

The child was slightly out of breath after saying those words in one breath.

She had been muttering about where the old man had said the lollipop was, until she reached the cashier.

This was the first time she had ever come behind the cashier in all the times she had been to the grocery store.

The child found it quite novel.

The child turned his head left and right to look around, then immediately looked away.

The old man and Superman are still waiting for her.

The child dared not waste too much time.

……

"The second cabinet on the left..."

The child muttered something as he walked over and squatted down.

It's this cabinet.

……

The child opened the cabinet.

I didn't see the lollipop at first glance.

The child was slightly taken aback.

Hey?
……

The child peeked out.

He reached out and touched it carefully again.

……

No.

The child was stunned.

what happened?

The child started to get anxious.

Did she remember it wrong?

The child repeated the words the old man had just told her several times.

That's right...

……

The child took a deep breath.

She tilted her head.

Half of his body was almost inside the closet.

……

There weren't many things in the cabinet.

It was a notebook and some stationery.

……

The child picked up and looked at each item.

He even tried to stick his head inside the cabinet.

....
Soon, the child, his face flushed, backed away from the cabinet.

Because of the hasty action, the child's head hit the top of a drawer in the cabinet.

Bang.

The child was wincing in pain.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

She bit her lip.

No sound was made.

She felt too embarrassed to have bumped into the drawer.

The child carefully lifted himself up and looked toward the doorway.

Because of the shelf, the child could only see half of Superman and Grandpa's figures.

them……

They seem to be chatting?
I didn't notice what she had just done.

This relieved the child.

Great.

……

The child shrank back inside.

She reached up and touched her head.

The pain from the impact subsided, and the child let out a soft breath.

……

strangeness……

The child put down his hand that was rubbing his head.

Where's the lollipop?

The children turned the drawer the old man mentioned upside down...

Still no lollipop.

……

The child pursed his lips, looking somewhat nervous and anxious.

Should we ask the old man?

The child is conflicted.

Will the old man think she's stupid?
You can't even do something this simple...

……

The child hesitated and did not leave.

Let's look again.

The child looked around.

This time, the child didn't fixate on the drawer the old man had told her about.

of course.

She searched that drawer again.

What if I didn't look carefully enough...
