Chapter 2388 The cold fox
"What surprise do you want to give grandma?"
Apparently the old man did not remember the conversation she had with her grandchildren that morning.
But that doesn't stop her from looking forward to the surprise her two children will give her.
……
"Grandma, this is what you look forward to most."
The young man lowered his voice mysteriously.
……
"What I'm looking forward to most?"
The old man is confused.
What she looks forward to most...how does she-
"You told us many times..."
The girl's eyes widened, reminding the old man.
……
"Have I told you many times?"
The old man frowned, "How can I follow-"
"Ah."
The old man called softly.
"Could it be..."
She looked at the two children.
"You mean... I told you... the fox story?"
……
"That's right!"
The young man couldn't help but snap his fingers.
"Grandma is so smart."
The girl boasted.
……
The old man waved his hand, "Wait."
"What do you mean?"
"In other words...your surprise..."
"Dangdang~"
Before the old man could finish his doubts, the girl walked out from behind the barrier.
The fox on the shoulder was also clearly reflected in the old man's eyes.
……
The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide.
This is……? !
……
The old man's hands trembled.
"...like...".
A low, hoarse voice was forced out of the old man's throat.
"...It's really so similar..."
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to that moment in that year...
It rained heavily.
Water vapor fills the air.
The fox not far away has snow-white fur and its whole body seems to be glowing.
The beautiful red eyes penetrated the layers of rain and fog and fell straight into her eyes.
Made her forget to breathe.
……
The girl and boy looked at each other.
There was a bit of "successful" smile in his eyes.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, they would have wanted to high-five and cheer.
Ah Jiu was indeed very similar to the fox in grandma's memory who saved her.
……
The old man raised his hand tremblingly.
Slowly stretched out in the direction of the little fox.
The girl approached knowingly.
She crouched down.
Keep her shoulders level with the bed.
……
When the old man's hand is about to touch the fox-
She only felt a blur in front of her eyes.
When he looked again, he found that the fox was no longer on the girl's shoulders.
The old man was stunned.
……
"There."
The boy quickly discovered the fox's whereabouts.
He pointed to the end of the bed.
The old man and the girl turned to look.
really.
The little white fox squatted gracefully on the railing at the end of the bed.
Seeing them looking over, the little white fox glanced at them casually and then looked out the window.
Quite a cold temperament.
……
Only then did the girl remember her elder brother's words.
"Grandma."
"It...is not very approachable."
She regretted it a little.
Wouldn't it be better to ask the eldest brother to come with you just now?
Although this way he and his brother would have to explain a lot more things...
……
"Oh."
The old man nodded blankly.
I don’t like to get close to people...
yes.
Although it doesn't like to be close to people, it still saved her at that time.
The old man almost regarded the fox in front of him as his "savior" back then.
Because this fox was basically printed from the same mold as the fox in her memory.
It's more than just looks. It's an indescribable temperament.
That kind of...feeling...
Very special.
After that goodbye, she never saw a similar temperament in any other fox.
But she saw it again in this fox.
……
"I'm rude."
The old man took back his hand.
An emotional smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect to see you again..."
"...I feel like I'm in a dream..."
See you again as a fox...
No one knows.
Only she knows.
This matter has almost become an obsession for her.
Can't give up.
Can't forget.
She has been trying to persuade herself to let go.
I thought she did it.
But lying on the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling above, inexplicably and suddenly, she remembered this matter again.
She couldn't help but tell her grandchildren.
Unexpectedly.
They gave her such a big surprise.
"Thank you."
The old man sat up straight.
He carefully bent down to the little fox.
"Thank you."
"If it hadn't been for you that year, I would have been gone long ago."
"I'm sorry."
"I was terrified at that time."
“I didn’t say thank you to you in person.”
"I always feel very sorry."
That accident was the closest she came to death.
Therefore, she became even more grateful to the fox who saved her.
Moreover, her "savior" is so special.
Like the legendary fox fairy.
Just for this reason, she also wanted to see the fox from back then.
"Thank you."
The old man lowered his head.
After a while, the old man raised his head.
A somewhat relaxed smile appeared on her face.
The two siblings who noticed this couldn't help but clenched their fists and cheered inwardly.
Oh yeah~
Everything is going well.
"You"
The old man stared at the fox.
There was a bit of hesitation in the voice, "Do you still remember me?"
She only realized it now. Her behavior just now seemed like she was talking to herself?
The fox didn't seem to even look at her?
The little white fox was still looking out the window.
".Don't remember?"
The old man's straight back was slightly rickety.
"Grandma."
The boy and girl looked at the old man worriedly.
Ah Jiu was used by them for emergencies.
It was not the fox that the old man met on the mountain.
Let’s talk
Even foxes can’t understand humans, right?
Even if they really brought the fox from the mountain, would it be able to respond to the old man's words?
Um?
The girl was stunned.
She thought of the previous scene.
The big brother seemed to be talking to the little white fox.
His expression was natural, as if the little white fox could understand his words.
No no.
The girl shook her head.
Big Brother is just talking to his beloved pets like many other people
Nothing surprising.
"Huh?"
The old man turned his head.
Noticing the worry on the faces of the two children, the old man was puzzled for a few seconds and then understood.
"It's okay."
"I'm fine."
The old man laughed.
"I'm so happy to see this fox again."
"So many years"
"It's normal if it doesn't remember me."
But you always remember it
The girl muttered in her heart.
"Where did you find it?"
The old man was curious.
"I searched for it for a long, long time, but I just couldn't find it."
"Are you unwilling to see me?"
The old man looked at the fox.
After so many years, she has grown old.
The fox in memory is still the same as in memory.
Nothing has changed.
Especially those eyes that she had dreamed of many times.
Full of spirit.
Stunningly beautiful.
