Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5911 Two Gifts
Even after the branch was removed from the mouth of the red-eyed python, the staff were still somewhat dazed.

Somewhat incredible.

You got it just like that?

……

The staff looked at the seemingly harmless, even somewhat docile, red-eyed python, and then at the old lady outside the glass window who was looking at the red-eyed python with a gentle expression.

I felt a little envious.

I also felt a bit emotional.

He's been taking care of this red-eyed python for a long time...

But the red-eyed python was nowhere near as affectionate toward him as it was toward the old woman.

perhaps……

The staff actually knew the reason.

It's just a matter of sincerity for sincerity.

He takes care of the red-eyed python out of a job.

of course.

He likes snakes.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been doing this job for so long.

But his affection seemed rather insignificant compared to that of the old lady.

He actually knew about this old lady.

Over the years, he has been responsible for taking care of the red-eyed python, so he and the old lady inevitably run into each other a few times.

Although they didn't have much communication.

The old lady probably didn't even recognize him.

……

In a daze, the staff seemed to see the shy girl they had first seen.

Every time I come to the zoo, I seem to only visit the reptile house to see the red-eyed python.

His dedication is so astonishing that it's almost incomprehensible.

……

He only learned the reason later.

He was surprised by the broken glass window, but even more amazed by the red-eyed python's act of saving him.

He understood that the rescued girl was grateful to the red-eyed python.

What surprised him was...

He originally thought it was just a short-term action...

The rescued girl has persevered to this day.

The girl from back then has now become an old lady with graying temples.

……

But the old lady's bond with the red-eyed python grew stronger.

……

A red-eyed python could do this much for an old lady...

They sent flowers and fruit...

He still listened to the old lady...

So that's why the previous outburst...

There must be some reason... that made the red-eyed python lose its mind...

otherwise……

A python with red eyes shouldn't harm an old lady.

……

The staff member concealed the complexity in their eyes.

Turn around and leave.

……

The old lady turned her head urgently.

Yet, they were reluctant to leave the glass window.

Sissi is here.

……

Seeing the old woman's anxious expression, the staff member strode over to her.

"old lady."

The staff member held out their hand, saying, "Here you go."

……

The old lady's eyes widened as she looked at the red fruit in the staff member's outstretched palm.

This is the gift Sisi gave her.

The old lady pursed her lips slightly.

Being overly cautious, the old lady nervously reached out and took the red fruit.

……

The old lady looked at the fruit she was holding between her fingers.

He gently stroked the fruit with his fingers.

The smile on his face grew wider and wider.

Extremely bright and beautiful.

……

"Thank you."

The old lady thanked the staff.

Thank you for helping her retrieve the gift of the red-eyed python.

The old woman's palm enveloped the red fruit.

The old lady was somewhat moved.

She didn't expect this...

She received a gift today: a red-eyed python.

They were two different gifts.

……

"It should."

The staff member smiled.

The staff have always been very friendly to tourists.

This is a consensus among all staff members.

However, they will resolutely refuse any requests they deem unreasonable.

such as……

Let the old lady go back into the room with the red-eyed python.

……

The old woman looked at the python with red eyes.

She raised her hand.

This allowed the red-eyed python to clearly see the red fruit on her palm.

"Xixi." The old lady's eyebrows relaxed and the corners of her mouth curved up.

"Look."

"I got it."

"The gift you gave me."

"very beautiful."

"Thank you."

The old lady suddenly thought of something.

"oops."

"You've given me so many gifts..."

"I haven't given you a return gift yet..."

The old lady frowned in thought.

……

A red-eyed python approached the glass window.

……

The old lady was slightly taken aback.

what?
what happened?
……

"It saw you frown."

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

"It's worried about you."

……

The old lady subconsciously reached out to touch her eyebrows.

Then, she realized...

That's right.

She frowned.

She was racking her brains trying to figure out what kind of return gift to give to Xixi.
……

The old lady was somewhat surprised and stunned.

Sissi...

"...Are you worried about me?"

The old lady also moved closer to the glass window.

She was very close to the red-eyed python.

She was so close that she could see her own reflection in the vertical pupils of the red-eyed python.

She thought that Sisi could also see her reflection in her eyes.

……

The red-eyed python stared at the old woman.

No sound was made.

……

The old lady smiled slowly.

"I am fine."

The old lady rubbed her eyebrows and eyes, making her face more relaxed.

"I'm just racking my brains trying to figure out what to give you."

"fine."

The old lady raised both of her hands.

A yellow flower is on a palm.

The bright and soft colors are beautiful.

Even if a petal falls off, it doesn't affect its beauty.

A small branch lay on the other palm.

A small red fruit hung on the branch.

"Both of the gifts you gave me are in good condition."

"Thank you."

"I received so many gifts from you."

The old lady smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"I made the flowers you gave me last time into bookmarks."

"This way I can keep the gifts you gave me forever."

"I'm also planning to make bookmarks out of the flowers you gave me this time."

"sorry."

The old lady looked at the gap in the yellow flower.

"This flower has lost a petal."

"It was my fault."

"But it's okay."

The old lady's eyes were full of smiles.

"I can still turn it into a bookmark."

"Preserve it permanently."

"And look."

The old lady's voice skipped a little as she said, "Someone picked up the fallen petals and gave them to me."

"This way, the flower remains intact."

"...I will keep the gift you gave me safe and sound."

"This fruit..."

The old lady looked at the red fruit in her palm with some hesitation.

This fruit...

What should we do?

have you eaten?
The old lady was a little reluctant to part with it.

Once you eat it, it's gone.

Should she go back and look up any ways to preserve the fruit forever?

……

The red-eyed python flicked its tongue at the fruit.

It seems like they're trying to convey some message to the old lady.
……

The old lady looked somewhat bewildered.

what?
what?
……

"……old lady."

The leader frowned deeply as he watched the old woman intently talking to the red-eyed python.

He wanted to make a sound to get the old lady's attention.

The sound that finally came out was very faint.

The leader was somewhat annoyed with his own performance.
