Chapter 2054 Gifts and Gifts in Return
Later, when I saw that there were too many pearls, the catfish just hit them with their tails.
The pearl fell steadily to the sand beside Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was slightly distracted and glanced at the fish.
It's a bit funny how the fish doesn't let go of any pearls.
But soon, his attention returned to the Lingyu in front of him, that is, Xiaomei.
Xiaomei crying was really beyond his expectation.
He didn't expect that Zhao Lei's absence would have such a big impact on it.
Or...did something else happen to this monster?
The most important thing at this time is to appease this monster that keeps dropping pearls.
"Xiao Mei."
Xiao Xiao called softly.
Xiaomei really stopped crying.
This name was given to it by Zhao Lei.
Only Zhao Lei has ever called it that.
At this time, although it was this strange human being calling its name.
In a daze, it seemed to hear Zhao Lei calling it-
Xiaomei.
……
"Xiao Mei."
Xiao Xiao shouted again.
He knew that Xiaomei reacted to this title.
At least, Xiaomei's tears stopped because of this title.
"Zhao Lei can't come this time because of unexpected circumstances."
"It doesn't mean that he will never come again."
Xiao Xiao repeated the key points to the monster again.
"Don't worry."
"Your agreement still stands."
"Zhao Lei will come see you later."
……
"咿~"
Xiaomei's eyes lit up slightly.
Will Zhao Lei come again?
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"Of course."
"Zhao Lei likes Xiaomei very much."
"You are very good friends, aren't you?"
"咿~"
Xiaomei's eyes curved into crescent shapes.
A bit of innocence and childishness.
friend.
It remembered that Zhao Lei told it.
They are good friends.
Zhao Lei also explained to him what friends meant.
Friends are two parties like him and Zhao Lei who have a good relationship.
咿~
It is friends with Zhao Lei.
good friend.
……
Seeing the monster who suddenly became happy, Xiao Xiao felt slightly relieved.
Then it got a little funny.
As expected, he looks like a child and has a child-like temperament.
Just cry.
Just laugh.
……
"Just laugh."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved.
"Zhao Lei must be very anxious when he knows you are crying."
"I will definitely regret not coming this time."
Xiao Xiao blinked at the monster.
"Cry a little and wait until I go back to tell him and let him feel sorry for me."
"Don't cry for too long."
"My eyes are almost red."
"And-"
"Look."
Xiao Xiao stretched out his palm so that the monster could see the pearl in his palm more clearly.
"So many pearls."
"Xiao Mei's tears are very precious."
"Put it away properly."
"咿~"
Xiaomei blinked.
Somewhat novel.
Xiao Xiao was stunned.
Isn't this the first time this monster has seen his tears turn into pearls?
Could it be...this is the first time this child has cried?
Or were you just so busy crying that you didn't notice that your tears turned into pearls?
……
Are these the tears it shed just now?
Xiaomei reached out and touched the corners of her eyes.
Then he tentatively reached out his hand to the pearl in Xiao Xiao's palm.
When you are about to encounter a pearl.
The thin fingers shrank slightly.
It raised its eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"A beautiful pearl, isn't it?"
Xiaomei's fingertips touched the pearl.
There was a strange look on his face.
...Xiaomei picked up a pearl.
Lift high.
The moonlight envelopes the pearl, giving off a clear luster.
Projected in Xiaomei's eyes.
Just like the sea under the moonlight.
Sparkling.
……
After admiring the pearl for a while, Xiaomei put the pearl back into Xiao Xiao's hand.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"These pearls are yours."
Xiaomei shook her head.
"咿~咿~"
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Are these all given to Zhao Lei?"
"咿~"
Xiaomei nodded happily.
For a long time, Zhao Lei would bring some small gifts to it almost every time he came -
Zhao Lei said that the gift was for a friend.
They are friends.
So he likes to give it gifts.
They are all strange little objects.
It likes it very much.
It also wants to give Zhao Lei a gift.
However, it always felt that its gifts were not as good as Zhao Lei's.
This makes it feel a little frustrating.
But Zhao Lei said that the important thing about giving gifts is not the gift itself.
It’s the thought contained in the gift.
He loved the gift of it.
Because those are gifts it carefully selected.
He also said that he just saw these small gifts and thought he would like them, so he brought them to him.
It doesn't need to deliberately prepare any return gift for him.
Giving and receiving gifts is a joyful thing.
Don't burden yourself.
Besides, if he gives it a gift, it must give him a gift in return. Doesn’t this seem too much like... a sale?
It seems that I must repay this intention.
It doesn't need to be this way at all.
Their relationship doesn't need to be this raw.
If you see something suitable for you, give it away; if you don't find something suitable, don't give it away.
It's that simple.
……
This time, it found a great gift.
Xiaomei grinned.
However, it looked at the pearl in Xiao Xiao's hand, and then at Xiao Xiao's smiling face.
After tilting its head and thinking for a while, it reached out and picked up a pearl.
Picked up another pearl.
It stretched out the hand holding two pearls in front of Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
Then he stretched out his other hand as if aware of it.
Xiaomei put the two pearls on Xiao Xiao's outstretched hand.
"咿~"
……
"Are these two pearls for me?"
A faint smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"咿~"
Xiaomei nodded.
It looked at the pearls on both palms.
He took another pearl from the pearls he wanted to give to Zhao Lei and put it together with the two pearls he wanted to give to Xiao Xiao.
"咿~"
Xiaomei smiled.
There was a bit of pride in his expression.
"Thank you."
Xiao Xiao slightly closed his fingers.
Hold the three pearls given to you.
"I like it very much."
Xiaomei smiled even more happily.
The beautiful fish tail is wagging.
Xiao Xiao felt as if he had seen a dog.
If he hadn't held pearls in both hands, he would have wanted to pat Xiao Mei on the head.
……
"I will transfer these pearls to Zhao Lei."
"Wait for me."
Xiao Xiao turned around and packed the pearls Xiaomei gave him and the pearls given to Mr. Zhao in separate bags.
Then, he rummaged through his travel bag again.
Then he turned around again, walked a few steps, and squatted in front of Xiaomei again,
He held out his fisted hand.
"咿~"
Xiaomei's expression was a little confused.
"This is my return gift."
Xiao Xiao spread his fingers.
There were several candies lying on the palm of my hand.
The shiny candy wrappers shine under the clear moonlight.
"Although not as good as your pearls."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
After all, he didn't expect that he would receive a gift from this monster.
At this time, the only ones around him that were suitable as gifts were these candies.
ps: Thank you _Wangchuan_ for the reward~(*︶*)!
