Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5941 is not a lie
This was the first time the child had spoken so loudly in response to her grandmother.
She was very confident.

She was right.

The child's confident and assertive tone only made him raise his voice even higher.

……

The old lady was somewhat surprised.

This shy and timid child rarely speaks so loudly.

There was a time when the child's parents were impatient with the child's soft voice and said some harsh words to make the child speak louder.

The child was frightened.

I almost couldn't make a sound.

After that, the child's parents never dared to yell at the child or make the child raise their voice again.

It took a long time for the child's voice to return to the volume it had before being frightened.

She could actually hear the child talking so loudly….
The old lady was somewhat surprised.

On the other hand, his worries grew even stronger.

The impact of that so-called giant leopard on children...

It was bigger than she thought.

……

It's one thing for a child to see a large leopard in the house...

If you see a large leopard outside...

If someone sees this...

This is outrageous!

The old lady knew the power of public opinion.

She had once witnessed firsthand how someone could be forced by public opinion to become a stranger and a pitiful figure.

So pitiful.

……

fortunately.

That person left the scene of public opinion before being driven completely insane.

Later, she learned by chance that the man was living a pretty good life.

This made the old lady quite happy.

It's a good ending.

……

"grandmother!"

The child shouted, "I really saw a big leopard!"

……

“...Leilei”.

The old woman said in a deep voice, "Have you ever seen a leopard outside?"

……

The child was taken aback.

Outside?

The child shook his head, then nodded, then shook his head again.

……

The old lady was a little confused.

What does this child mean by?
Why are you shaking your head, nodding, and shaking your head again?

"Did you see it or not?"

The old lady asked again.

……

The child tilted his head.

"I……"

"I saw a big leopard outside the window..."

The child said in a soft, sweet voice.

Does this count as seeing a large leopard outside?

……

The child's gaze was drawn to a large leopard gracefully passing by outside the window.

He turned his head and stared blankly at the leopard.

When she realized the leopard was about to leave her sight, a look of disappointment and anxiety appeared on the child's face.

……

Then she realized that the leopard had retreated!?

……

The leopard noticed the child's gaze.

It turned to look at the child.

……

The child's face showed a mixture of nervousness, helplessness, and joy.

……

The leopard came in through the window.

Her nimble body landed on the carpet without making a sound.

……

The child's eyes lit up instantly.

……

The leopard played with the child.

The main activity was for the children to show the leopard the building blocks they had made and to explain what they had done.

The leopard crouched to one side, watching the child.

……

We have guests at home.

The excited child regained some of his shyness.

At her grandmother's prompting, she quietly called out to Grandma Tian.

Once the two elderly people started chatting and their attention was no longer on her, the child breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head.

Upon seeing the leopard, his smile broadened.

……

Then, her grandmother came over and talked to her.

The leopard has disappeared.

I don't know when they left, and the child is a little disappointed.

However, I found that the last few blocks were in their proper places, and the building was complete...
After a few seconds of stunned silence, the child realized that the leopard had helped her complete the building blocks.

The child felt somewhat happy again.

The leopard knew this was her grandmother's house.

I'll come see her again...

We've only just parted, but the child is already looking forward to our next meeting.

……

The old lady was very surprised.

Regarding the appearance of this large leopard...

This child even has a complete storyline.

……

It didn't appear out of thin air. It came in through the window...

The old lady turned her head to look at the window.

The window was indeed open.

It's summer vacation now.

Hot weather.

Because there are children at home, the air conditioning is on.

Otherwise, the elderly themselves don't usually turn on the air conditioner.

Even though the air conditioner was on, the elderly person still left the window half-open to let fresh air circulate in.

……

I never expected this...

This inspires children's imaginations.

……

"Leilei."

The old lady tapped the grinning child on the forehead with her finger.

That was quite a blow.

....
"Hi~"

The child immediately cried out in pain.

She reached up and covered her forehead where she had been hit.

Her eyes were a little red.

"grandmother……."

The child felt wronged.

Why did you suddenly hit her?
it hurts.

……

"Does it hurt?"

The old lady reached out and removed the child's hand from his forehead, then examined the child's forehead carefully.

It's slightly red.

She reached out and gently touched it.

……

"pain."

Tears welled up in the child's eyes instantly.

……

"Remember the pain."

The old woman stared into the child's eyes.

"You didn't see the leopard."

……

The child opened his mouth wide.

The grandmother's strange words made the child instantly forget the pain in his forehead.

She opened her eyes wide in confusion.

"……Why?"

"Isn't that... lying?"

"I saw it."

Why lie and say you didn't see it?
The child didn't understand.

……

Listen to your grandmother.

The old lady gently rubbed the child's forehead.

"Is Leilei not listening to her grandmother?"

……

"Do not……"

The child said, somewhat flustered.

She listened to her grandmother.

Before coming to her maternal grandparents' house, her parents told her many times to listen to her maternal grandparents.

She listens to her parents.

She listens to her maternal grandparents.

but……

This is the first time my child has ever had this experience...
She encountered a situation where her clear self-awareness contradicted the facts told to her by adults…
She wanted to trust the adults.

She has always trusted adults.

Is it...

Was I really wrong?
The child doesn't know.

The child is confused.

The big leopard...

What should have been a happy encounter for the child...

It seemed as if a thin layer of shadow had been cast over it.

……

"Grandma wouldn't harm Leilei."

The old lady noticed the child's dilemma.

She certainly knew and understood the child's dilemma.

But the experience of someone she knew in the past made the old lady unwilling to take a slow, roundabout approach.

The best approach is to cut the Gordian knot.

The child is still young.

It was just a minor accident.

Forget about it.

It's as if nothing happened.

……

"obedient."

The old lady kept saying, "Okay, Leilei?"

"Don't worry Grandma."

……

The child became increasingly helpless and confused.

She doesn't understand...

"...Isn't lying wrong?"

Why did her grandmother ask her to lie?
....
"This is not a lie."

The old lady said.

This is a fact.

But this is difficult to explain to children.

……

"Forget it."

The old lady reached out and patted the child's head.

"Just listen to Grandma."

"Grandma wouldn't hurt you."

"Do whatever your grandmother tells you to do."
