Chapter 2181 Elf
The next morning, the old man didn't see anything on the bedside table.
There is no fruit either.
He was very lost.
Even a little sad.
Is it because he pushed too far?
They prepared gifts for him so carefully, but he was still picky...
As a result, after waking up from his nap, he subconsciously looked at the bedside table.
The hazy brain suddenly woke up.
What did he see?
A little purple flower!
Of course, there are also the usual fruits.
……
The old man couldn't explain his feelings for a while.
I don’t know whether I am more happy or moved.
And thankfully.
I'm glad the other person isn't angry with me.
……
The old man wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Thank you."
"...Have you been looking for it for a long time?"
He understood that the reason why the gift was delayed for so long today was because the other party was looking for the gift he wanted.
"Thank you, I am an old man who is willful."
"But I'm really happy."
"Thank you."
……
The old man's granddaughter asked what happened to his grandfather and made him so happy?
He touched the child's head and said with a smile, "I met a kind elf."
Yes.
Elf.
Because it is getting harder and harder for the old man to imagine how a normal person manages to put gifts on his bedside table every day?
And you can still hear his voice.
He said he wanted purple flowers the day before, and the next day he actually sent purple flowers.
……
He had doubts about nursing.
The person most likely to do these things is a caregiver.
However, after observing for a long time and testing several times, he had to admit that his guess was wrong.
He even suddenly thought that there would be surveillance or listening devices installed in his house, right?
But this can explain that the other party heard what he said, but it can't explain why the gift appears on his bedside table every day?
If you are not a caregiver...
Could it be that the other party climbed to the fifth floor and came in through the window every day?
This is crazy.
The old man felt a little ridiculous.
He shook his head.
……
He thought about closing the window.
In this way... even if the truth cannot be revealed, one possibility can be eliminated.
……
But in the end, the old man didn't do it.
He was curious about who the other person was who was so kind to him... He really wanted to thank him in person...
But he is even more worried that his behavior will exclude the other party.
What if the other party misunderstands what I mean and never gives him these small gifts again?
What if the other person thinks they hate these little gifts?
He didn't want to do anything that might cause misunderstanding.
Because he really likes these little gifts.
He ate all the fruit.
He also put away all other things properly.
Including that weird flyer.
……
The old man told himself to think of the other person as a magical and kind elf.
Not looking for roots.
Don’t get to the bottom of it.
I hope that one day, the other party will be willing to appear in front of him.
……
Unexpectedly, at such an advanced age, I would encounter encounters that could only be seen in the storybooks I read as a child.
The old man's smile showed a bit of childishness.
What the old kid said really makes sense.
……
"Elf?"
The little girl tilted her head, her eyes shining brightly, "I want to see the elves too!"
"Nanny, always be a good child, and one day you will see the elves."
The old man's eyebrows were relaxed and his expression was gentle.
"Really?"
The little girl opened her eyes wide.
As long as she keeps being a good kid, will the elves appear in front of her?
"How could it be true?"
The older boy pouted.
"Elf-"
Something like that is just fake.
"Hey!"
The boy on the left glared at the boy on the right.
The same look of disapproval as the boy on the right showed on his face.
"Huh?"
The little girl turned to look at her brother. There was a bit of confusion on his face.
"Grandpa?"
She looked at the old man again.
"It's true."
The old man's eyes narrowed.
There was no hint of perfunctory or joking in his serious tone.
Because, he met it.
So, as long as you believe, this child might really meet an elf one day, right?
"Yeah!"
The little girl nodded vigorously, clenched her little fists tightly, and her little face with baby fat was full of an expectant smile, "I will always be a good child!"
"So, the elves should come quickly."
……
The boy on the right muttered something under his breath.
The boy on the left gave him a warning glance.
Grandpa is playing with his sister.
Besides, children are the age to believe in fairy tales.
When you grow up, you realize that fairy tales are just fairy tales.
What do you tell her to do now?
……
The wind blowing on his face awakened the old man's absent-mindedness.
The old man's somewhat distracted eyes regained focus.
His eyes reflected the figure of the other party's big tree.
On the big tree, he saw the fruit he had been eating all this time.
There seemed to be a sour and sweet taste in his mouth again.
He couldn't help but laugh.
The old man opened his mouth.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Until now, after he had recovered, he had no idea who the good Samaritan was.
Maybe the other party is really a magical and kind elf?
"...Are you an elf?"
The old man muttered unconsciously.
……
"Hoo~"
"Wow, wow~"
The sound of wind and swaying branches and leaves can be heard clearly.
There were also faint sounds of conversation downstairs.
Car horns honked further away.
Apart from these ordinary sounds, the old man heard no answer.
The old man lowered his eyes and smiled.
Sure enough
Still not showing up?
……
The little monster was lying on the branch looking at the old man standing in front of the window.
Elf?
There was a bit of confusion and confusion on the little monster's face.
What is that?
It's not an elf.
It's a monster.
"Gugu~Gugu~"
……
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the big tree in front of him again.
"...I wonder if you are here now? Can you hear me..."
You should be able to hear it, right?
Heard it all before.
The old man thought of the little purple flower.
"Thank you."
The old man's eyebrows stretched and his face looked a little rosy, "Thank you very much."
"Because of you and the gifts you gave me, I recovered so well."
"Thank you... for always sending me gifts."
"The fruit is delicious."
"The little flowers are very beautiful... I asked you to find purple flowers for the old man..."
"The feathers are beautiful too."
"I wonder what kind of bird feathers they are?"
"By the way, why did you think of sending me a flyer?"
Thinking of that flyer, the old man couldn't help laughing.
"Does it have any special meaning?"
"...I don't mean to dislike it."
"The flyers are interesting."
"Let me go to that store to eat some day."
"Want to go eat together?"
……
"..."
……
The old man smiled and said, "Then I will tell you what I think after eating it."
"After all, this is the store you recommended to me."
"I will definitely go there to eat and see."
How long has it been since he went to a restaurant to eat?
The old man doesn't remember.
ps: Thank you Qianqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
