Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6039 Not All Bad Things

"No."

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"I am not capable enough."

"Perhaps it's possible if you encounter a powerful demon who is interested in you."

……

what……

Xu Zizhen had somewhat expected this...

After all, it's such an incredible thing.

It's incredible enough that we can see it.

Then let those who can't see it see it...

That's simply...

That's a miracle.

……

Even though I know this...

Xu Zizhen was still somewhat disappointed.

……

I can't see it...

Forget it.

He didn't have that opportunity.

As for encountering the so-called great demon...

In the past twenty-odd years, Xu Zizhen hasn't encountered even a minor demon, let alone a powerful one...

He didn't expect to have such good "luck"...

Besides...

We really encountered a powerful demon...

It's hard to say whether it will bring good or bad fortune.

Although he was curious about the unknown, he did not want to lose his life.

He's not a child anymore.

I thought monsters were cute and silly creatures portrayed in many cartoons.

You can tell from the monster's cold indifference towards my uncle over the years...

monster……

They truly have no heart.

His uncle...

They've been thinking of each other for decades.

The other person watched as their uncle stared at the maple tree day after day, lost in thought, disappointed and sad...

Have you ever felt even a little bit of pity?

……

That must not be the case.

……

At that time, he was still a child, and he was clueless about complex emotions. When he saw this uncle, he felt his eyes well up with tears.

He once asked his parents...

Why does my uncle always look so sad?

Dad remained silent.

Mom sighed.

His mother patted his head and said, "No."

Everyone has bad days.

He just happened to see his uncle in a bad mood.

He was skeptical.

Only later...

Uncle doesn't seem so sad anymore.

He gradually let go of his doubts.

Years later, when he had grown up, he finally understood...

Uncle is not less sad.

My uncle is just better at hiding it.

……

He wondered if his uncle harbored any resentment when he learned the truth years later.

he……

There is.

only……

He was ultimately an observer in this matter.

He didn't say anything.

If Uncle is happy...

No.

Knowing that the person you've been searching for is right beside you, yet they never appear before your eyes...

It would be hard for anyone to be happy, right?

Even if it's because I can't see it anymore...

But clearly...

If the other party is willing, they can do even more.

……

The other party did nothing.

He was left to struggle and suffer alone.

Sit on the sidelines.

It's none of my business.

……

but……

After years of searching, an answer has finally been found.

he thinks……

Perhaps for my uncle...

that's enough.

He didn't want his own emotions to affect his uncle's.

He hoped his uncle could resolve the knot in his heart that had been there for so many years.

able……

Let this go.

……

Xu Zizhen nodded.

"I see."

"I was just daydreaming."

Xu Zizhen gave a self-deprecating laugh.

You shouldn't force a relationship that isn't meant to be.

His uncle's experience made him deeply understand this statement.

Xiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

"No one can predict the future."

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Xu Zizhen realized that Master Xiao was trying to comfort him.

Xu Zizhen was somewhat surprised.

They even felt somewhat flattered.

Because Master Xiao always gave him a somewhat distant feeling.

I wonder if it's because I've been in contact with monsters too much...

He had a vague sense of unease.

I don't know what the future holds...

Will Master Xiao change...?

Like the monster that my uncle encountered...

To view the world with detachment.

Each time, he shook his head to suppress the thought.

When did he start worrying unnecessarily?

No matter what happens to Master Xiao...

They're all Master Xiao.

It was Master Xiao's own choice.

Besides...

Judging from Master Xiao's initiative in helping his uncle, he felt that although Master Xiao seemed indifferent, he was actually a warm-hearted person.

……

"Ah."

Xu Zizhen smiled.

"oops."

"Where did I say it?"

Xu Zizhen reached out and tapped her head.

"what."

He remembered.

“Master Xiao, they all thought Ya Ya was hallucinating.”

"That's what they all told Ya Ya."

He fully understands.
Who would think of monsters?

"A friend of Ya Ya's, a very good friend..."

"I once met someone who was hallucinating."

"...I was terrified."

From then on, I avoided anyone who saw hallucinations.

"I know Ya Ya was hallucinating..."

“That child became distant from Ya Ya.”

“…It’s normal.”

Xu Zizhen doesn't think the girl with the ponytail did anything wrong.

He just suddenly thought of it...

"If it weren't for Chen Jing..."

"Ya Ya's parents know that Ya Ya was hallucinating..."

"It's hard to say what the reaction will be."

The initial reaction was relatively mild because it was the child's first time seeing it.

Many people don't easily believe that someone is seeing hallucinations.

Subconsciously, one will gloss over the matter.

But the child saw again and again...

Deceiving yourself is pointless.

The attitude of a girl with a ponytail can represent the attitude of a large portion of people.

If it weren't for Chen Jing's interference, if it weren't for the need to be on guard against Chen Jing...

The child's parents must have many thoughts about the fact that their child is seeing hallucinations.

As for what the idea was...

Whether the attitude shown is good or bad...

It’s hard to say.

Anyway...

"...Chen Jing attracted all of Ya Ya's parents' attention."

Ya Ya's parents were so focused on keeping Chen Jing away from their child.

They blamed Chen Jing for all of their child's problems.

He wasn't speaking up for Chen Jing.

It's just stating an objective fact.

He thought of his uncle, who had endured a long period of being misunderstood because of that missing friend.

Without Chen Jing...

The bud also has to endure a period of such pressure.

But with Chen Jing...

Ya Ya won't have to face this pressure directly.

The more frequently Chen Jing appeared, the angrier Ya Ya's parents became towards her.

She felt even more heartache for her own child.

……

Xu Zizhen smiled.

"...Am I overthinking things?"

But then it suddenly occurred to him...

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

He couldn't help but share his interesting idea with Master Xiao.

……

"Master Xiao, do you think my thinking makes sense?"

Xu Zizhen unconsciously held her breath.

Waiting for Xiao Xiao's reply.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

"Makes sense."

As it turned out, Chen Jing did attract the majority of Ya Ya's parents' attention.

As a result, Ya Ya received far less scrutiny and questioning from her parents.

At this moment, the most important thing in Ya Ya's parents' hearts was to keep Chen Jing away from their child.

……

Xu Zizhen grinned.

"Since Master Xiao has said so..."
