Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5846: Nothing in vain

A hint of a smile flickered in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

He naturally noticed the small, wasteful action.

Xiao Xiao had initially been puzzled by the monsters' wariness of him, but now he was almost used to it.

He smiled slightly.

……

His exhausted body grew increasingly stiff.

In its view, the human's smile at that moment was rather malicious.

……

Xiao Xiao: ...

He shrugged slightly.

He looked at the river.

……

"I'm leaving."

Xiao Xiao casually picked up a pebble from the ground.

Then bend down and throw it.

……

"Bang bang bang~"

The pebble bounced three times on the river surface.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Hao, "Are you still going to follow me?"

……

Xu Hao withdrew his gaze from the river.

It looked at the pebbles on the ground with some curiosity.

How did you do it?
The pebbles flew up and down the water.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Want to learn?"

He picked up another pebble at random.

"Look."

……

This time, the pebble bounced four times on the river surface.

……

Exhaustion opened its eyes wide.

……

"Come."

Xiao Xiao made Xu Hao strike the same pose as him.

……

The wasteful and somewhat clumsy imitation is a bit of a mistake.

Lean to the side at about 45 degrees, half-squatting.

He clutched the pebble he had picked up from the ground tightly in his hand.

Use your waist to generate power...

……

"!?"

Exhaustion opened its eyes wide.

……

The stone that Xu Hao threw sank directly into the water.

……

Waste: ...

Xu Hao looked at Xiao Xiao.

There was a hint of confusion on his face.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"fine."

"You'll get it after a few tries."

……

Xiao Xiao then gave a demonstration of how to avoid waste.

This time, the little pebble bounced seven times.

They practically jumped directly to the other side.

……

"Wow!"

The sound of children screaming could be heard.

……

Xiao Xiao looked up and followed the sound.

……

The child stood on the high bridge, half of his body leaning on the railing.

He clapped his hands vigorously.

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

……

The woman next to the child smiled at Xiao Xiao.

Then they took the child and left.

"All right."

"Don't bother the older brother."

"We walked."

……

The child, held by his mother's hand, turned to look at Xiao Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

The little boy immediately grinned widely.

Then he raised his hand and waved vigorously at Xiao Xiao.

"Goodbye big brother!"

……

The child left with his mother.

Ok?
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Xiao looked towards the water.

The next second, a smile appeared on his face.

"very good."

"That's what it feels like."

……

Xu Hao frowned.

Compared to this human, its pebble barely bounced once.

Upon realizing this fact, the smile that was about to appear on Xu Hao's face froze.

……

"This is a good start."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Remember the feel of that touch."

"With a few more practices, you'll be able to make the pebble bounce many times."

……

Ok.

Xuhao nodded silently.

It silently picked up the pebbles.

He threw it out again with force.

....
His face was somewhat dark from exhaustion.

This time, the pebble sank straight down again.

The success I just experienced felt like an illusion.

....
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's ok."

"It's normal for things to be unstable at first."

"Once you get the hang of it, you'll succeed every time."

……

Xuhao pursed his lips.

They watched helplessly as yet another pebble sank to the bottom.

it……

It's like I suddenly realized something... It...
It seems like it's not very good at playing simple games with humans...

....
The same applies to the previous goldfish scooping game.

The current game of throwing stones is also like that.

it seems-
Uh.

It's not just "seems" anymore.

It just behaves very clumsily.

……

Wasted energy is somewhat infuriating.

I'm angry at myself.

……

Xiao Xiao extended his palm.

……

Xu Hao was taken aback.

what?
what?
……

"candy."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"for you."

……

candy……

He subconsciously grimaced at the waste of time.

Isn't that for children?

Ok……

He was taken aback by the waste.

It suddenly remembered something.

……

That day, the woman also reached out her hand to it.

"Want to eat?"

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were curved.

"candy."

……

It twitched its lips.

It witnessed the whole thing.

How a woman uses candy to amuse her child.

Only when the child's eyes were red and he was about to burst into tears did the woman reluctantly stuff the candy into the child's mouth.

The child's pouting lips immediately parted into a wide grin.

……

It shook its head.

She's too easy to appease.

……

The child happily ran away while eating the candy.

……

The woman looked at it.

I even asked it if it wanted some candy...

……

cut.

Did you think it would be as foolish as that child?

He shook his head, seemingly wasting his energy.

What kind of candy?
It doesn't want to.

……

The woman was relentless in her demands.

"Really don't want it?"

“Very delicious.”

"Look."

The woman held up a piece of candy in her hand.

"The candy wrapper is bling bling."

"It's shiny."

"How beautiful!"

"It tastes great too."

"They have all kinds of flavors,"

"Apples, strawberries, mangoes, watermelons, grapes, oranges..."

The woman took a deep breath.

tired.

A few seconds later, the woman raised her chin again and asked, "Anyone you like?"

"Or it's okay if you don't like this kind of hard candy."

The woman simply pushed herself aside.

"What about this gummy candy?"

The woman smiled broadly.

"Look."

The woman spoke with a hint of showing off, "Bear-shaped gummy candies."

Isn't it cute?

……

"Bull nose".

The woman was quite unwilling to accept that the ox's expression remained unchanged.

"You...do you like cow-shaped gummies?"

The woman seemed thoughtful. "Then it might be a little hard to find..."

"I don't know if there is any..."

"If you don't have it, we can make it to order..."

The woman thought about many things in an instant.

……

Waste: ...

This guy who talks to himself...

……

The woman looked at Xu Hao with a smile.

"Bull nose".

Do you really want cow-shaped gummies?

"What flavor do you want?"

"Who?"

The woman heard a noise.

She turned her head.

I saw a child whose face was deathly pale.

.......
The woman's heart skipped a beat.

What, what happened?
"Baby?"

The woman got up and walked towards the child.

"Why are you back again?"

Didn't you just run out to play?

Why are you back so soon?
In the past, I had to call it several times...

Only then can we bring back the children who are still reluctant, unwilling, and haven't had enough fun...

……

The child unconsciously took a step back.

"Mom, Mom?"

……

The woman did not fully notice the child's abnormality.

She knelt down and placed her hand on the child's shoulder.

"what happened?"

"Want more candy?"

The smile on the woman's face froze.

……

The child, as nimble as a loach, twisted and swayed his body, thus dodging the woman's hand.

....
"Baby…."

Even if there is a reason -
Well, there must be a reason. The woman was still somewhat taken aback by the fact that her child had pushed her away.

....
"Mother."
