There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"Boom!"

The sound of the back of the head hitting hard plastic was heard. In her panic, Xiao Xiaohui seemed to have forgotten the pain. She quickly retreated and ran to the corner where she had been hiding in the afternoon.

She sat down against the wall, wrapped her arms around her curled legs, buried her face in her knees and shivered.

At this moment, the intense pain finally reached the pain nerves from the back of her head, and self-comfort and encouragement came out of her little mouth with a crying tone.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Hui is a good child, she won't be captured by the monster!"

“I’m not scared, I can’t cry…but the amusement park is so scary…Teacher…Mom…Dad…Xiaohui is so scared, where are you…wuwuwu…”

Finally, a whimpering sound broke out from her knees, and tears overflowed from her eyes again, wetting her little skirt.

"I will speak properly, I will be good... I will never deliberately answer with only one word again... Mom, come and pick me up, Xiaohui doesn't want to be here alone, it's so scary here..."

She cried and cried, choking with sobs as she apologized.

It was the first time that Xiao Xiaohui saw the outside world at night, the first time that she cried so sadly, and the first time that she shouted so loudly, but no one responded, and even a sincere apology was useless.

Suddenly, she had a terrifying thought: Mom... doesn't want me anymore? This is the thing that all children fear the most!

As a result, she was even more scared and sad. Under the blessing of this emotion, she held back her tears and sobbed, "Wuwuwu-Mom, Hui is very good, she doesn't make noise or make a fuss, no, don't cry... Hui, don't cry... Don't leave Hui, you come and pick up Xiao Hui... Wuwuwu..."

In the deserted and dark amusement park, in that corner of the championship wall that is not easily discovered, there is only the babyish cry of a little girl, weak, pitiful and helpless.

Even though summer vacation was approaching, the night wind was chilly. Like an icy cold wind, the little girl shivered from the cold.

She felt very cold, so she hugged her knees tightly. She didn't dare to stretch her head to look at the corner, but the shadow of that face in her mind was like a curse, lingering.

In a situation of extreme panic, even an adult may have the probability of experiencing hallucinations, let alone a kindergarten child whose mind is just beginning to develop?

Then, all kinds of strange noises came, and the little girl, out of fear, instinctively raised her cry again, trying to cover up the noises she heard. But the more she cried, the more scared she became, and the louder her cry became.

In fear, her nerves broke to the limit and her voice became increasingly shrill.

But at this moment, when Xiao Xiaohui was about to faint from fear, a pair of strong hands in the darkness pierced through her ribs and lifted her up high.

The sudden feeling of being in the air made her struggle subconsciously, kicking her calves wildly.

While struggling, the poor little thing almost uttered a desperate cry for mercy, "Mr. Ghost, Mr. Ghost please don't eat me, you can't eat a good child, you can't eat a good child, I won't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore... wuwuwu... please don't eat me..."

But gradually, her lovely begging sounds stopped.

Because those hands were so warm, they felt warmer than her mother's embrace. At the same time, a strong sense of security enveloped the screaming and crying little girl, and her instinctive crazy struggle gradually stopped.

As the high-pitched crying turned into low sobs and finally into tightly closed eyes, the environment became quiet again.

But just as she was about to ask Mr. Ghost to nibble a little, a pleasant voice came into the little girl's ears. The voice was so strange, but it had a very strange sense of closeness and familiarity.

Xiao Xiaohui inexplicably felt that she was not so scared anymore.

"What's your name, crybaby?"

Xiao Xiaohui opened her eyes carefully, and what came into view was a head of flowing silver hair and ruby-like eyes that sparkled in the darkness.

"K-Kato...Mei." She responded softly while sobbing.

"Then why is Hui-chan here alone?"

"Mom, Mom doesn't want me anymore."

"Mom doesn't want you anymore?"

The silver-haired elder brother smiled and put her down slightly, letting her sit on his horizontal arms. But Xiao Xiaohui didn't know why, after being picked up, she naturally hugged his neck.

"Maybe mom just forgot. She'll come pick you up soon."

"Really, really?"

When she heard the words "I'll pick you up in a while", the little girl's tearful eyes suddenly burst into a light. For children, what adults say must be right!

But the next second, her eyes dimmed again.

"But it's only eight o'clock now. Mom and Dad just got home from working overtime. They might still be stuck in traffic on their way home."

"It's only eight o'clock?" Xiao Xiaohui covered her mouth in surprise, "The Flash Girls show has started!"

"hehe."

The silver-haired older brother seemed to be amused by the child's jumping thoughts and responded with a smile: "Well, it's only eight o'clock. Sister will definitely record the animation and show it to you when you get home!"

"elder sister……"

The little girl seemed to remember something and asked cautiously: "But why do you know everything about Xiaohui?"

"Didn't you just say it? Dad, Mom, Sister... As for the Flash Girl, I like to watch it too!"

"You like to watch too!" The little girl's attention was finally diverted, but after thinking about it, she showed a nervous expression again, "Then ghost brother, will you eat me? If you eat me now, my mother won't be able to catch me."

"Ghost brother? Eat you?"

The big brother who was holding little Hui was suddenly stunned. While he was amused by her innocence, his pupils revealed countless complex emotions that Hui could not understand.

There is anger, reluctance, heartache, and deep guilt.

No wonder she was so strong-willed. Even when she was captured in the Queen's Lair, she just cried quietly instead of screaming and shouting.

No wonder she became more and more silent afterwards, and treated everything without fighting or competing, without feeling sad or resentful, and finally developed an expressionless face.

It turned out that this experience made her like this. She is only six years old now. This experience is too exaggerated! Although most people don’t have memories of kindergarten, they will never forget the unforgettable fear.

"I won't eat you!"

The ghost brother gently rubbed Hui's face, and the itchy feeling made her shrink her neck. "I am actually a ground-bound spirit who specializes in protecting good children. Hui is a good child, so I will protect you."

"So it's an earthbound spirit? Protecting Kei?"

Xiao Xiaohui tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked a very cute question in her childish voice, "But you don't know me, and I don't know you either. Mom said that the kindness of strangers is dangerous and cannot be accepted."

"I told you, I'm not a human. I'm an earthbound spirit, one of the eight million gods. How about we wait here together for mom to pick you up?"

Because Xiao Xiaohui was so cute, the 'Earthbound Spirit' brother couldn't help but reach out and pinch her tender face.

Xiao Xiaohui looked at the handsome face of Big Brother Ghost, tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally nodded vigorously.

You can’t trust strangers, but you can trust eight million gods!

Chapter 7: Growing Up with You

Time passed very slowly that night. The darkness lasted only for more than ten minutes, but Xiao Xiaohui felt like a very long time had passed. She had never felt time so long before.

Time passed quickly that night. Ever since the big brother, the earthbound spirit, showed up, all fear disappeared.

Xiao Xiaohui no longer felt cold, because she was in the arms of the earthbound brother, and the strange sounds disappeared, leaving only the gentle whispers of the elder brother. Even the big bump on the back of her head disappeared under his gentle touch.

Gods always have incredible power!

The older brother told her stories, sang nursery rhymes to her, and chatted with her... Soon, the dazzling lights came on and the sound of the door opening, and the anxious mother and the security guard rushed in.

The Earthbound Brother disappeared, and Xiao Xiaohui was left alone on the swing, looking at the sky, because at some point, the dark night had turned into the brilliant Milky Way. With just a wave of his hand, the deep mist disappeared, replaced by the gorgeous starry sky.

The mother rushed over with tears on her face and hugged her daughter tightly, crying and saying sorry, saying that she would never forget it and begging for her forgiveness.

The little daughter was very calm at this time, but she had a stern face and said to her mother seriously, "Mom, do you know where we are now?"

In the mother's puzzled eyes, Xiao Xiaohui said seriously, "We are located in the observable universe, Laniakea Supercluster, Virgo Cluster, Local Group, Milky Way, Orion Arm, Gould Belt, Local Bubble, Local Interstellar Cloud, Oort Cloud, and the third planet in the solar system."

Looking at her mother who was in a daze with tears in her eyes, Xiao Xiaohui continued in a childish tone: "Earth, Eastern Eurasia, Northwest Pacific, Japan, Tokyo, Bunkyo Ward, Mingqing Kindergarten...ah, no, I can't say it!"

The little girl seemed to remember something and immediately covered her mouth before she finished speaking.

After the mother heard her daughter's series of obscure words, which she had no idea what they were saying, she finally showed fear. Was she too frightened, so what went wrong?

Well, actually the little girl didn’t understand what this meant, because the big brother of the earthbound spirit said that today’s address was where they met, and he would protect Xiao Xiaohui forever in the future.

The magical thing is that he only said this series of things that Xiao Xiaohui didn't understand once, but his voice seemed to have magic, and Xiao Xiaohui remembered it after just one sentence.

The reason she said this was because children have infinite tolerance for their parents, and she wanted to comfort her mother and tell her that she was no longer afraid.

But just after she said this, she suddenly remembered that the big brother, the earthbound spirit, said that this was a secret between them, and after telling others, he would never appear again, so the little girl suddenly covered her mouth!

After that, the mother took a few days off and took her daughter to see several doctors, but she behaved normally and all the doctors said there was nothing wrong. Of course, she never said anything strange again.

Since then, Xiao Xiaohui seems to like going to school, and even hums cheerful tunes on the way to kindergarten.

Xiao Xiaohui became much more cheerful afterwards. When the teacher did not call her name during roll call, she no longer felt disappointed. Instead, she raised her hand and told the teacher that her name had not been called yet.

Even if her classmates forgot her name, she would not get angry, but would always "re-introduce" herself with a straight face.

But no one noticed that she would talk to herself quietly from time to time, as if she was talking to the air.

Gradually, she developed a spiritual support that "others cannot see".

……

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Days passed by like this. Although the parents felt very guilty after that incident, they still ignored their little daughter in some trivial matters of life. But now she is in elementary school, Xiao Xiaohui has become Xiaohui, she understands some things and is more accustomed to being ignored.

In fact, the elder brother lied to me from the beginning. He was obviously my guardian spirit, but he said he was a ground-bound spirit. He was still by my side when I was in elementary school, but he made me cry bitterly when I graduated from kindergarten...

Because in the days that followed, whenever his parents ignored him, he would immediately appear by his side.

But as she became more cheerful, she also got more used to being ignored. Gradually, she didn't even realize that the older brother appeared by her side more and more often, because most of the time, Xiaohui didn't need to be comforted.

Finally one day, an important day was coming up at home. A week before Xiaohui's birthday, her father asked her kindly what gift she wanted. It happened to be the weekend, so did she want to go to the aquarium together?

Sometimes, birthdays don’t need surprises. For Xiaohui, knowing it in advance will raise her expectations to the maximum.

So the elementary school student Hui’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously!

She began to look forward to the weekends, her birthday, and her father taking her to the aquarium... That week passed very slowly, and Xiaohui almost counted the days on her fingers.

She looked forward to the end of class during class, and looked forward to the end of school after class. She looked forward to Tuesday on Monday, and Wednesday on Tuesday. She finally made it to Saturday night. The excited Xiaohui couldn't sleep at all. She was looking forward to going to the aquarium with her father tomorrow, and looking forward to having Kaiseki cuisine together at noon.

I look forward to going to the amusement park in the afternoon. I look forward to the lights coming on the moment I open the door, and my mother and sister jumping out from behind the door wearing birthday hats to scare me, holding gifts and wishing me a happy birthday.

She thought and thought so excitedly that she fell asleep late at night.

The dazzling sunlight shone on Xiaohui's face as she was sleeping. She made a lazy and cute nasal sound and slowly opened her eyes.

"Tomorrow" finally arrived. Xiaohui, who was in the fourth grade of elementary school, celebrated her first full birthday. From the moment she opened her eyes, she was ten years old.

Because it was the weekend, she didn't set the alarm clock and fell asleep very late at night, so it was the glaring sunlight outside the window that woke her up.

In a daze, Xiaohui subconsciously looked at the alarm clock, then her sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide and her pupils focused quickly.

Fear, anxiety, sadness, loss... countless negative emotions filled her watery eyes, but even so, she still had a little hope.

The hour hand points to the number 11, and the minute hand is at the 3 position.

It's 11:15 in the morning and no one woke me up!

She hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and ran out of the room without even changing into her pajamas.

She went to the next door and knocked gently, but no one answered. After turning the door handle, she heard a crisp "click" sound as if the door was locked.

My sister went out early in the morning. I heard her say the day before yesterday that she suddenly received an invitation from a classmate to karaoke this week...

Well, my sister is already a third-year junior high school student and will be entering high school soon, so she must leave precious memories with her classmates.

So, Xiaohui cheered up and went to her parents' room. She still knocked on the door first, and when she got no response, she carefully turned the doorknob.

'Kaka...'

The helpless girl finally lowered her head. She slowly walked downstairs, but noticed a breakfast and a note on the dining table.

Her slightly dim eyes brightened up again, and she quickly rushed to the dining table and picked up the note, but it contained some words of daily care. Her mother left some money and told her to eat well.

They did not forget that today was a day off, but they did not remember the most important thing.

I should have reminded them earlier... In order to live a good life in Tokyo, they have all become workaholics, and it is rare to see them not working overtime on weekends.

If I reminded them last night, they wouldn't have forgotten? No, they must have wanted to surprise me but couldn't get away because of work!

Maybe if we just wait patiently at home, they will suddenly come home with a cake?

So Xiaohui quickly went to wash up, then began to eat the cold breakfast in big mouthfuls, tidied the table, and washed the dishes...

After she finished everything, she locked herself in the room, but did not lock it, because if she locked it, they could not attack suddenly!

She changed into her most beautiful tutu skirt and started waiting again. She felt a little bored, so she started doing her homework. After finishing her homework, she stared out the window in a daze. She felt really bored, so she picked up a fashion magazine from the desk and read it.

Tired of reading, she started doing her homework again, assigning homework to herself. After finishing again, she began to practice the cute handwriting that girls must learn.

She was doing everything she could in the room, the sun shone in through the window, time seemed to slow down, and then it became fast. The sun shone from the bedside to the desk, and then from the desk to the wardrobe on the other side of Ning's room. Her petite figure was like a slide, and every step in the room left a shadow of her movements.
