Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5945 Truly Clever

The child nodded.

She had a very obedient look on her face.

"understood."

……

The child suppressed all his doubts and confusion.

She doesn't need to think too much.

Grandma said that what you see with your own eyes... isn't necessarily true.

She just needs to trust her maternal grandparents.

……

"good."

The old lady patted the child's head.

"You'd better remember this time."

"Leilei."

"You don't have that many chances to make mistakes."

"If there's a next time..."

The old lady put on a stern face, "Grandma is really angry."

"Do you understand, Leilei?"

……

The child felt a chill run down his spine.

She nodded hastily.

understood.

……

"speak out."

The old lady was dissatisfied with the child's silent response.

……

what?
The child was panicked, helpless, and confused.

say what?
……

The old lady's forehead twitched slightly.

"explain……"

The old lady said, slowly and deliberately, "You know."

"I told you you would never see the leopard again."

"Won't……"

The old lady looked at the child and answered with certainty and determination.

It even subtly carries a warning connotation.

Won't-
No.

There can't be a next time.

……

"I will no longer say that I saw a leopard."

The old lady was very meticulous.

The old lady wondered whether the child's fantasies were controlled by his own will.
If you strongly oppose this illusion...

Will this hallucination recur?
It might happen.

It may not happen.

If it still happens...

The child needs to understand that it is an illusion.

No response was given.

Just pretend you didn't see anything.

And don't tell anyone that you saw the leopard.

While not telling anyone, don't show that you've seen a large leopard.

In short, just ignore the leopard.

……

"Can it be done?"

The old lady's tone was somewhat harsh.

For the sake of her child, she "etched these words into her lungs with the smoke."

You must always keep this in mind.

Don't forget your promise to her after seeing the leopard, just like you did this time.

What's the use of thinking about it afterward?

The child did and said everything he shouldn't have done or said.

……

The child seemed somewhat captivated.

Is it possible...?

The child nodded.

She will definitely do it.

Since she made a promise to her grandmother, she will definitely keep her word this time.

The child clenched his fists.

A face full of determination.

……

"speak out!"

The old lady reminded the child.

Don't keep things bottled up inside.

How will other people know what the child is thinking?
……

The child opened his mouth.

The sound got stuck in his throat.

The child reached up and rubbed his neck.

He coughed softly several more times.

……

The old lady patiently watched the child.

His eyes were full of encouragement.

……

"I……"

The child swallowed hard.

she does not know……

It's such a simple sentence...

However, she had difficulty producing her voice.

The child's fingernails dug into the back of his hand.

The pain seemed to break the constriction in the child's throat.

The child finally made a sound.

"It can be done."

The child's voice was somewhat soft.

He was somewhat mute.

……

"I can do it."

When I said it a second time, the child's voice was much clearer.

The child felt a little relieved.

……

"it is good."

A smile appeared on the old lady's face.

Grandma believes in Leilei.

“If Leilei says she can do it, then she definitely can.”

"Grandma knows that Leilei is a good girl who keeps her word." "Really?"

……

"Ah."

The child pursed his lips and nodded.

She is a good girl.

She will definitely keep her word.

I won't let Grandma down.

……

"good."

The old lady patted the child's head.

But I was still a little worried.

After all, the child had agreed to it last time.

Yet, today's performance still turned out to be what it is today.

This time, the child agreed to her request again...

The old lady settled for second best, "Leilei".

The old lady bent down and leaned closer to the child, saying, "You must remember this."

The old lady emphasized.

Even if you think you've seen a giant leopard...

The old lady frowned.

"But you must pretend you didn't see it."

"Don't let anyone know you saw it."

"And don't tell anyone you saw it."

"Do you understand?"

……

The child blinked.

He looked somewhat bewildered.

what……

The child tried hard to understand what the old lady had said, which was a bit convoluted.

……

"I mean……"

The old lady repeated what she had just said to the child.

"have you understood?"

……

A hint of hesitation appeared on the child's face.

Okay, I think I understand.

……

The old lady wasn't angry.

She repeated it a third time.

fair enough.

If you repeat these words several times, the child will remember them.

In the future, whenever I encounter a situation, I will immediately think of her words.

So the child's slowness didn't make the old lady angry; she was happy to repeat these words to the child several times.

……

"Understand?"

The old lady asked, "If you didn't understand, Grandma will tell you a few more times."

……

The child cautiously glanced at the old woman.

I had some doubts, but also some relief.

In the past, if she had acted so foolishly, the old lady would definitely have been a little angry.

She said her mother was a clever child with quick reflexes, so why is she not like her mother at all?
It must be because of her father.

The child opened his mouth.

She only dared to explain for her father in her heart.

no.

My mother is very smart.

My dad is very smart.

She's just not very smart.

Other people's results are always two negatives making a positive.

In her case, it seems that positives result in negatives...

……

The old lady grinned.

"Then Grandma will tell you again..."

……

The child shook his head.

"No, no need."

……

"Do you understand?"

The old lady asked.

"it does not matter."

Grandma likes to tell you this several times.

"Grandma can tell you as many times as you want, if you're willing to listen."

……

The child twirled his fingers, stammering, "I...I understand."

"I won't tell anyone I saw a big leopard."

Even if she saw the leopard, she had to do it secretly so that no one would find out.

Although she didn't understand why?
But her grandmother seemed to want her to do that.

So she did as her grandmother said.

always right.

……

The old lady nodded.

can.

This is the most basic requirement.

Regardless of how the child perceives the large leopard they see?

She believed them, believing that the giant leopard was just her hallucination, that it didn't exist...

I'm still struggling with the contradiction between what I see and what they say...

As long as the child doesn't let others know she saw the leopard and doesn't attract attention...

Other problems can be solved gradually.

……

"Yes."

The old lady patted the child's head.

This child knows how to grasp the key points.

"Leilei is so smart."

……

Yes, is there?
The child was a little embarrassed.

She is rarely praised for being smart.

She felt very happy.

She likes to be praised for being smart.

She is a smart and good child.

Hey.
