Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6065 Come out
On the one hand, they worried that the girl was still persistent and had ulterior motives.

On the other hand, I wonder if I'm being too alarmed and overreacting to the problem?
Perhaps the girls were just embarrassed about his previous act of sneaking into the yard, and this was a way of making amends and apologizing to them?

……

Neither Xiao's mother nor the old lady could figure out which of the girl's thoughts was correct...

Just to be on the safe side, I'll remain cautious.

Unwilling to take any risks.

……

They couldn't wait for the girl to leave.

The girl showed absolutely no sign of leaving.

Have some tea and snacks.

Later, I started scrolling through my phone.

……

Xiao's mother and the old lady couldn't keep an eye on the girl the whole time.

After all, there were other guests present.

The old lady is getting on in years.

I don't have that level of concentration to keep staring at a girl without being noticed.

The girl's docile behavior gradually lowered the guard of Xiao's mother and the old lady.

It's probably just a coincidence.

They're overthinking it.

……

After serving one customer, the old lady habitually turned her head to look at where the girl was...

The next second, the old lady opened her eyes wide.

Nobody's here!?
The old lady suddenly panicked.

Hey?
What about people? !
……

The old lady looked around.

I didn't see any girls.

The old lady immediately found Xiao's mother.

……

Xiao's mother was slightly taken aback.

The person has disappeared?

She turned her head to look at the table where the girl had been sitting.

Having seen it so many times, Xiao's mother didn't need to figure out the direction at all and found the target table immediately.

……

There was a half-finished cup of tea and several saucers on the table.

Some of the plates were empty.

There were some plates and refreshments.

The tea was steaming.

Crumbs of the pastry fell onto the table.

It looked like the table's owner had just left.

……

"Maybe she's gone."

Xiao's mother comforted the old lady.

……

The old lady was stunned.

Yes, that's right.

How did they just disappear?
Perhaps the girl finished eating and left on her own...

Although there were still some snacks left on the table.

Didn't the girl think about taking it with her?

The old lady felt a little sorry for the wasted snacks.

They offer takeout service at their store.

……

However, just to be on the safe side, Xiao's mother gently patted the old lady's hand, "Mom, I'll go check the backyard."

After saying that, Xiao's mother hurried to the backyard.

……

The old lady was about to follow when a guest called her. She pursed her lips, a hint of annoyance flashing through her mind.

She walked toward the guest who had called her.

……

Xiao's mother walked very quickly.

The wind ruffled the stray hairs around her ears.

Her heart was beating faster and faster.

hurry up……

Faster...

……

Xiao's mother walked into the courtyard.

Quiet and beautiful.

It's like a paradise.

It looks like...

There was no trace of anyone else.

of course.

The woman clenched her fingers.

This is an illusion.

That's what she originally thought.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head to look at the plum tree beside her...

A vague sense of unease arose in my mind.

……

and many more!

Xiao's mother finally realized that something was wrong!
Plum tree...

Why isn't it blooming?!

……

In recent years...

The reason why plum trees don't bloom...

only one.

……

Xiao's mother took a deep breath.

Just ...

There were other people in the courtyard besides the Xiao family.

……

"……come out."

Xiao's mother's expression darkened slightly.

His voice carried a hint of sternness and displeasure.

The first time I sneaked into her yard, I did it because of her good attitude in admitting her mistake, and because she was just a young girl who hadn't done anything wrong...

Xiao's mother can forgive the other party.

but……

One is acceptable, but two are not. This is only possible given the homeowner's explicit refusal...

She actually dared to...

Sneaking in secretly!?

Xiao's mother was so angry that she laughed instead.

This girl...

Do you really think she's easy to bully?

……

"come out!"

The silence in the courtyard made Xiao's mother's expression even more unpleasant.

"I know you're here."

Seeing that the other party still wouldn't come out...

Xiao's mother really wanted to laugh.

Did he think she was bluffing the girl?

Should we play mind games with her?
Xiao's mother took a deep breath.

He said in a deep voice, "If you don't come out, I'm calling the police."

"Have the police thoroughly search this yard..."

"Do you think you can escape the police's pursuit?"

……

"If you come out now, we can have a little chat."

"Wait until the police find you..."

Xiao's mother gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"We have nothing more to talk about."

……

The girl hid behind the plum tree, her heart pounding, unsure whether Xiao's mother was bluffing her.

Xiao's mother arrived faster than she expected.

She finally waited until Xiao's mother and the old lady lowered their guard and found an opportunity to sneak out of her seat...

She considers herself patient.

They were almost defeated by the patience of Xiao's mother and the old lady.

fortunately.

The tea and snacks here are really good.

She comforted herself.

It's nice to just come here for tea.

She almost thought she wouldn't have a chance today.

In the end, fate intervened and helped her.

In the end, she finally got her chance.

……

The girl nimbly darted from the teahouse into the back courtyard.

She looked at the plum tree.

The branches are still bare.

There wasn't even a single flower bud.

This is natural.

It's not winter now, the season when plum blossoms bloom.

……

The girl sniffed the air in the yard.

Ok?
The girl was slightly taken aback.

She sniffed again.

I wonder if it was just her imagination?

How does she feel...

The fragrance of plum blossoms in the air now seems... stronger than the fragrance she had smelled before?
……

A faint light shone in the girl's eyes.

She withdrew her gaze from the plum tree.

She slowly began to walk around the courtyard.

Want to see if there are any unexpected discoveries?

……

No.

The girl pursed her lips.

strangeness……

The girl clenched her fingers.

A sense of resentment arose in my heart.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Indistinctly visible.

But it was just a little short...

She just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
……

The girl returned to the base of the plum tree.

She looked up.

Looking at the plum tree in front of me.

She held out her hand.

Gently stroking the bark of the plum tree.

……

A jumble of wild and chaotic ideas flooded her mind.

She was someone who was considered somewhat reckless by her parents.

I like to fantasize.

Her parents scolded her for this several times.

After all, journalism is a profession that emphasizes professionalism and rigor.

How could she do such a reckless thing?

How will I be able to find a job then?
She joked with her parents that she could become a gossip reporter.

She could come up with those sensational topics with ease.

Her parents then tapped her on the head.

They said she was being unreasonable.

oops.

If her parents found out she secretly sneaked into someone else's yard...

She'll definitely be scolded for being ridiculous.

The girl stuck out her tongue slightly.

So you absolutely must not let your parents know.

……

The girl walked around the plum tree several more times.

Her nose twitched slightly from time to time.

Suddenly, the girl's ears twitched.

She heard footsteps.

Because they often engage in similar petty theft, the girls are very vigilant.
