Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6062 You can leave

As the girl watched with amazement, her gaze slowly swept across the entire courtyard.

She still hasn't found the source of the plum blossom's fragrance...

That was her main purpose in coming here.

……

The girl's eyes met someone's.

Seeing the other person looking at her with a mixture of doubt and wariness, the girl: ...

Fortunately, she didn't do anything.

The girl greeted the other person very naturally.

……

"Thank you."

The other party's sincere praise softened Xiao's mother's expression.

She laughed.

Her yard is very beautiful.

……

"...like the fragrance of plum blossoms."

The girl looked at Xiao's mother's face.

……

Xiao's mother felt a slight unease.

plum bossom……

She glanced unconsciously at the plum tree beside her.

……

The girl noticed it immediately.

She looked at the tree beside her.

Bare.

With her limited knowledge of plants, she had no idea what kind of plant it was.

However, based on their previous conversation, the girl had a guess.

"Is this a plum tree?"

……

Xiao's mother paused for a moment.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded.

"Ah."

There's no need to tell lies that are too easy to expose.

This tree is right here.

Girls can tell what kind of tree it is just by taking a picture.

Doesn't lying just indicate that there's something wrong with the situation?

……

The girl looked at the plum blossom tree.

There were no flowers on the bare branches.

So……

She took a deep sniff.

strangeness……

The fragrance in the courtyard didn't seem as strong as the one she had smelled in the alley earlier.

……

"I just smelled a very strong fragrance of plum blossoms."

The girl looked at Xiao's mother.

"It smells especially good."

"I couldn't resist following the scent and came here."

The girl explained why she had been sneaking into the yard.

"But……"

The girl looked around.

Plum tree...

There's only this one.

She was confused.

"...did not bloom."

This plum tree did not bloom.

So……

Where did the plum blossom fragrance she smelled earlier come from?

……

Xiao's mother smiled slightly.

"It's not the season for plum blossoms to bloom now."

……

The girl nodded.

Of course she knows.

That's why I was so curious about the fragrance of plum blossoms.

She has always been a very curious person.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have studied journalism.

She found her way here.

I thought I would just push open the iron gate...

You will find the answer.

Perhaps it's a plum tree that's blooming out of season?

But the result was...

The fragrance of plum blossoms before seemed like a hallucination to her.

only……

This did not discourage the girl or make her realize she had made a mistake...

This only fueled the girls' desire to explore even more.

She wanted to figure out what was going on with the plum blossom scent she had smelled earlier.

She had a vague premonition.

Maybe……

That would be big news.

……

"But I can smell it."

The girl opened her eyes wide.

"very clear."

"It smells so good."

……

"Perhaps you're mistaken?"

"Mother Xiao said gently."

"look."

"There are so many flowers in the yard."

"What you're smelling is probably the fragrance of other flowers."

"or……"

Xiao's mother smiled and suggested, "You can go and look around elsewhere."

"I don't have any plum blossoms blooming here."

……

"Do not."

The girl shook her head.

"I couldn't possibly be mistaken."

"My mother loves plum blossoms."

The girl looked very serious.

“He takes me to see the plum blossoms every year.”

"The fragrance of plum blossoms is all too familiar to me." ...

Xiao's mother smiled slightly but did not speak.

……

"And I've looked around everywhere."

The girl looked at Xiao's mother, "I'm sure..."

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from here."

She has always enjoyed making bold guesses.

Then carefully verify.

Don't let her seemingly carefree, somewhat reckless and unreliable appearance fool you.

In fact, she has always been meticulous and thoughtful.

……

Xiao's mother tilted her head slightly.

"you saw it."

"There are plum trees here."

"But there were no plum blossoms in bloom."

"Perhaps you have a very sensitive nose."

"Is that the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

……

The girl was slightly taken aback.

Do plum blossom trees also have a fragrance?

"May I go over and take a look?"

The girl asked.

……

Xiao's mother nodded.

……

The girl immediately strode over to the plum tree.

She approached the plum tree.

Almost my nose touched the rough bark.

……

The girl walked around the plum tree.

Like a puppy, it sniffed around the plum tree, looking left and right.

……

Xiao's mother looked at the girl.

Fingers tightened slightly.

……

"Is it okay?"

Girls take too long...

It's also possible that Xiao's mother's worries intensified her perception of the passage of time.

Xiao's mother endured it again and again.

I couldn't help but ask.

At the same time, I had some reservations about the girl's overly familiar behavior.

This is my first time visiting someone else's home...

They still showed up uninvited.

To put it bluntly...

That is, trespassing.

Taking other people's polite words seriously.

She agreed to let the girl verify this because she was too embarrassed to refuse her.

After all, the girl was very polite.

Verbal politeness.

They are not polite at all in their actions.

How could this girl have the nerve to study and observe the plum tree under her gaze for so long...?

Don't you feel uncomfortable?

……

Kids these days are really amazing.

Xiao's mother sighed inwardly.

If it were her, she would definitely just glance at it quickly and then it would be over.

To observe someone else's belongings with such meticulous detail in their home...

Don't you really feel it's presumptuous and impolite?

……

The girl was slightly taken aback.

The girl stood up straight.

He turned to Xiao's mother and smiled apologetically.

"Feel sorry."

Do I have a bad habit?

"I can easily focus once I start doing something."

……

"You can come out now."

Xiao's mother didn't want to argue with this girl anymore.

"I have to leave now."

"After you leave, I will lock the gate in the yard."

Xiao's mother spoke very frankly.

The plum tree was especially important to her child.

Xiao's mother was not a naive and clueless girl who knew nothing.

She knew that it was best not to let anyone know about the plum blossom tree.

otherwise……

It will cause trouble for her child.

For her child...

Even Xiao's usually gentle mother became less tactful.

……

The girl was stunned again.

But she didn't feel embarrassed, awkward, or ashamed.

Xiao's mother was already being very polite.

Even though he spoke words of shooing them away, his tone remained gentle.

She had encountered far more rude treatment or even being driven away many times before.

……

The girl grinned.

"Auntie."

Can you smell the fragrance of plum blossoms?

……

The girl walked up to Xiao's mother.

She examined the plum tree from top to bottom and left to right for a long time.

No abnormalities were found.

The fragrance of plum blossoms is also faint.

It was completely different from what she had smelled in the alley before.

……

The girl, however, was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Even if nothing is found...

But how do you explain the plum blossom scent she smelled earlier?
