Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5947 Again?

"Nothing has changed."

The chubby little boy's mother was both amused and exasperated.

This kid...

People are starting to suspect that there are two elderly women involved.

……

She was a little confused.

What did this old lady look like before?
How could a child have such a conjecture?
Is the change in this old lady really that significant?
She was genuinely curious.

……

pity.

She probably won't find out.

……

The chubby little boy's mother smiled at the old lady.

Then he took the chubby little boy and left.

……

The old lady stood there stunned for a moment.

They also took their first steps.

She was worried that if she stood there any longer...

Some children were frightened by her or came over to ask her what was wrong.
……

The old lady did not leave the community.

She looked at the time.

It was still early before Leilei got off work.

She should actually leave the neighborhood.

Otherwise, there's nowhere here for her to stay indefinitely.

……

The old lady was a little confused.

Memories from many years ago, long buried in the river of time, have resurfaced...

It's all tangled up with what Leilei's friend just said.

The old lady reached out and pressed her hand to her forehead.

how come……

The old lady found it very incredible.

So many years have passed...

impossible.

Leilei is fine now.

It'll be okay.

The old lady muttered to herself.

It's like self-hypnosis.

……

correct!

The old lady suddenly had an idea.

There's a park right here.

She went to the park for a while.

……

The old lady found a chair in the park and sat down.

The surrounding area is lush and green.

The environment is very quiet.

The distant noise seemed to be separated by a membrane.

All the sounds were indistinct and ethereal.

……

The old lady hesitated.

Should she call the old man and tell him about meeting Leilei's friend?
And her speculations...

But until it is confirmed, speculation is just speculation.

She wondered if she was just being overly anxious or worrying too much...

……

Let's wait until she sees Leilei before we talk about it...

……

The ringing of the cell phone startled the old lady.

The old lady's heart was pounding in her throat.

I almost dropped my phone.

……

The old lady lowered her head in a panic.

My hand instinctively gripped the phone.

To avoid actually throwing your phone away.

……

It was the old man calling.

After a moment of stunned silence, the old lady suddenly realized.

She got back late.

This wasn't the first time she had brought food to Leilei.

In the past, she would leave her things and go back.

This has been dragging on for so long...

No wonder the old man found it strange and called.

.......
The old lady pursed her lips.

She hadn't decided whether or not to tell the old man what had just happened...

……

The phone stopped ringing.

……

Why! ?

The old lady suddenly realized that she had hesitated for too long...

The old lady gave a wry smile.

She was just about to call the old man back -
The phone rang again.

It was still the old man calling.

……

The old lady answered the phone very quickly this time.

……

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

The old man got straight to the point.

"Did something happen?"

……

The old lady was slightly taken aback.

Old man...

That really hit the nail on the head.

……

"Has something really happened?"

The old lady's silence made the old man understand immediately.

"what's up?"

The old man's voice lowered a little.

"Are you OK?"

"Where are you now?"

"I'll come find you."

……

"I am fine."

Realizing that the old man seemed to have misunderstood, the old woman hurriedly began to explain.

"I'm fine." "I'm on my way back."

The old lady blurted it out.

By the time the old lady realized it, she had already spoken.

The old lady was stunned.

She hasn't actually made up her mind yet...

……

"What happened on the way back?"

The old man pressed for more details.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Old woman?"

"Did you hear that?"

……

"without-"

The old lady was interrupted.

"Do not lie to me."

The old man frowned. "Don't I know you?"

There must be something.

"what happens?"

"You're still hiding it from me?"

……

"It's nothing."

The old lady gave a wry smile.

"Because they are all my guesses."

"I want to wait until we take it a step further—"

……

"Just tell me."

The old man shook his head. "Why are you being so particular with me?"

"Say what you mean."

"Unless you really don't want to tell me."

……

"……All right."

The old lady thought about it and agreed.

She and the old man had been married for decades.

Why are you being so polite?
Just say whatever you want.

……

"Is such that……"

The old lady recounted how she was stopped by her granddaughter's friend on her way back after delivering food to her.

"...I didn't believe anything she said at first."

"Inexplicable."

"What problem could Leilei have?"

"Is it because that child is unhappy that Leilei has made a new friend with whom she gets along better?"

"Kids these days tend to be quite possessive."

"I know."

Everyone hopes to be their best friend's best friend.

"but……"

"Then I remembered something..."

……

"what's up?"

The old man asked casually.

He knew there would be more to come.

Otherwise, how could such a small matter have kept the old lady from returning yet?

……

"That happened a long time ago..."

The old lady was somewhat moved.

"I wonder if you still remember..."

"It was when Leilei was little..."

The old woman paused, then spoke again in a much lower voice, "She said she saw a big leopard..."

……

The old man was stunned.

"A big leopard..."

The old man frowned in thought.

It looks somewhat familiar...

……

"Ah."

The old lady nodded.

"I was the one who told you that back then."

"Leile said she saw a big leopard..."

"But apart from Leilei, no one else saw it."

"We believe Leilei is hallucinating..."

……

"what!"

The old man remembered.

"It's that matter!"

……

"Yes."

The old lady's expression was complicated.

"That happened so long ago..."

"I thought I had forgotten."

"But today, Leilei's friend said that Leilei has become very strange..."

"I suddenly remembered this..."

"I suddenly became a little worried."

"Won't……"

"Leilei has conceived again..."

The old lady swallowed the word "hallucination".

……

Although the old lady didn't say it, the old man understood what she meant.

The old man remained silent.

For a moment, the old man didn't know what to say.

is it possible?
So many years have passed...

"...I thought..."

The old man murmured, "Leilei has been better for a long time..."

In fact, after Leilei agreed to their request for the second time, she did not exhibit any unusual behavior.

They even regretted at the time whether they had made a mountain out of a molehill.

Do they not need to specifically remind the children...?

Will the child never see the leopard again?

……

But no matter what, a good result is a good result.

……

The child who recovered so quickly back then...

After so many years, will it "get sick" again?
