Chapter 1046 The First Snow
Actually, this scene of falling leaves is very beautiful.
But it also makes people feel a bit sad.
Although the leaves fall and return to their roots, the leaves that grow again are not the same ones after all.
The noodles that arrived were no longer hot.
Xiao Xiao stirred it a few times with chopsticks.
After thinking about it, based on the principle of not wasting food, Xiao Xiao started.
The noodles in your mouth are still slightly warm.
The taste is naturally not very good, but it is not as bad as expected.
However, it was really the first time for him to dine with the sound of crying in the background at such a close distance.
What a... novel experience.
……
Xiao Xiao put down his chopsticks.
He tilted his head and looked diagonally in front of him, who was probably sitting on the table after crying exhausted.
The eyes were red and swollen like walnuts.
Tears continued to flow from the corners of his eyes.
He was suddenly worried, wouldn't this fungus become dehydrated if he kept crying?
Because, the fungus man now looks... like a dry... shiitake mushroom.
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Xiao Xiao still raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He took the chopstick holder and placed it behind the fungus.
The fungus couldn't help but look up because of his actions.
His face was stained with tears, and his expression of grief paused for a moment.
Xiao Xiao used the chopsticks to cover his head, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the head of the fungus, and said in a low voice, "Stop crying."
"If I keep crying, I might have to ask the waiter for a glass of water."
Because of the sudden weight and temperature on his head, the bacterial man's brain suddenly fell into a panic state, and he could not hear clearly what the human in front of him said.
However, the tears stopped because of this.
The bacterial man's expression was blank and his whole body was stiff.
Why?
Hey~~? !
……
Xiao Xiao slightly poked the mushroom man's head with his finger in a funny way.
"Silly?"
"Gu?!"
The fungus let out a sharp cry.
Then he covered his mouth with both hands and looked at the human in front of him with a horrified expression.
Xiao Xiao:...?
He held his forehead with one hand and looked down at a particularly pitiful monster, "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
"Gugu~"
The germ man made several vague sounds.
It was just so surprising.
This human can really see it.
The first time it encountered a human...the first time it was encountered by a human.
The strange feeling made him forget his sadness for a moment.
The human retracted his hand.
The fungus tilted his head, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, where the human had just touched it.
There is no warm feeling just now.
It's a bit disappointing.
……
"Bacteria Man, do you want to follow me?"
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to the fungus, with a soft smile at the corner of his eyes and eyebrows, "Let's talk in another place."
He has finished eating his noodles.
It's not easy for him to stay here for too long.
After all, noodle shops are not places to spend time like coffee shops or teahouses.
"Perhaps, I can help you find a new shiitake mushroom that you like."
The bacterial man's eyes lit up.
Does it like new shiitake mushrooms?
It had just cried a lot, and a lot of the grief in its heart had dissipated.
It was already weak due to the loss of its accompanying shiitake mushrooms, and it felt even more weak all over.
New mushrooms it likes...
It likes shiitake mushrooms...
The bacterial man slowly extended his hand to Xiao Xiao.
Just when the bacteria man's fingertips touched Xiao Xiao's fingertips, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, feeling warm.
The next second, "Boom~"
The germ man fell forward.
Xiao Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he stretched his hand forward faster than he realized, catching the fungus who fell face down.
Feeling the weight in his palm, a wry smile appeared on his face.
What a monster who only loves to show off his strength.
I really worked hard to get the mushrooms back.
Cried again.
It's time to be exhausted.
Xiao Xiao carefully put the fungus into his jacket pocket.
Then, he got up and left the noodle shop.
...Xiao Xiao walked towards the school.
The fungus will probably have to sleep for a while.
When it wakes up, I wonder if it is willing to meet its companions?
The fungus in the yard will be very happy to see this fungus, right?
……
Back in the dormitory, Xiao Xiao made a simple nest using cardboard boxes and handkerchiefs.
Then put the fungus in.
Zhang Bo and others who were watching the whole process went from being confused at the beginning to thoughtful later on.
"Lao San, this..."
Zhang Bo lowered his voice subconsciously.
"A sleeping little monster."
Xiao Xiao said with a smile, he reached out and covered the fungus with his handkerchief.
Then he placed the nest in the grid above the desk.
"Oh."
Everyone was stunned.
……
The next day, looking at the unchanged nest, Zhuge Yun couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Lao San, it's not awake yet?"
"It probably needs to sleep a little longer."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the fungus' peaceful sleeping face.
……
It's been three days, and there's still no sign of the fungus waking up.
Xiao Xiao was a little worried.
"Ajiu, has it slept for too long?"
The little white fox lazily raised his eyelids, "How long is this?"
"It's only three days."
"Hiss~"
White Snake raised his head and said, "Master Xiao Xiao, this monster has lost a lot of its power and will not wake up so soon."
"For monsters, it is normal to sleep for any length of time."
"It'll be okay."
"Really?"
Xiao Xiao carefully looked at the fungus's face.
The tan skin makes it difficult to judge the status of the monster from the other person's face.
However, the little monster's quiet and peaceful expression made Xiao Xiao put aside some of the worries that had arisen before.
"I know."
……
The weather is getting colder.
It is already late autumn.
There are a lot less fallen leaves on the street.
The strong branches stretched towards the gray and obscure sky, showing a bit of cold edges.
Xiao Xiao, who was jogging on the playground in the morning, suddenly stopped.
He raised his head as if aware.
A snowflake fell lightly on his face, and a bit of coolness spread.
It's snowing.
There were shouts of surprise from students all around.
After all, it’s the first snow of the year.
It came so early.
It's inevitable to get excited.
……
Snowflakes seemed to glow under the gray-blue sky.
Light up the whole world.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
It almost covered up the original color of the sky, leaving only white.
The campus was abuzz.
……
Naturally, such heavy snow is not suitable for morning jogging.
Xiao Xiao walked towards the bedroom.
"Coffee~"
Philip stood up, his silver-blue eyes reflected the snowflakes in the sky, just like the sky at this time.
"Woo~"
Taotie waved his paw impatiently, bringing up a small whirlwind, and the snowflakes were caught in it, flying.
Feeling the movement above his head, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hiss~ The first snow this year is early compared to previous years."
White Snake opened its bright red vertical pupils.
Xiao Xiao smiled and raised his left hand, "Yes."
“What an unexpected surprise.”
