Chapter 3187 Reasons for Thanking
The boy did not find the girl with gray hair.
He was even a little bit expecting it.
After all, there is no such thing as a coincidence...
Every time I come here, I happen to meet a girl with gray hair...
……
But soon, the boy raised his head again.
He tried to remember the last time they met...
He looked at where the gray-haired girl sat last time...
He slowly moved around the tree, bit by bit, not missing any angle from which he might spot the gray-haired girl.
He opened his mouth to call the gray-haired girl, but realized that he didn't know the gray-haired girl's name.
He hesitated for a while and finally shouted -
"Hello."
"Are you there?"
……
The boy slowly stopped.
He has walked around the tree three times...and barked many times...
No response.
Too.
Even if people are nearby, they don't know it's them that's being called.
Without a name...
Who knew it was him who was calling?
……
"Alas..."
The boy couldn't help but sigh.
really.
Gray-haired girl does not-
"Why are you sighing?"
……
A somewhat familiar voice came from above.
The boy was startled.
Someone! ?
But soon, the boy's eyes lit up brightly.
This voice! ?
No -
The boy's head shot up.
……
The gray-haired girl who didn't know when she appeared on the maple tree held her chin in one hand.
She looked at the boy and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Failed the test again?"
……
Boy:...
He rolled his eyes angrily.
"No."
"The last time I failed the test it was an accident."
The boy explained.
That result is definitely not his true level.
……
"Oh."
The gray-haired girl nodded.
……
"What I said is true."
The gray-haired girl's seemingly perfunctory attitude made the boy shout loudly.
"My grades have always been above average in the class."
That time I came last in the exam...
That was really an accident.
……
"Then why are you sighing?"
The gray-haired girl returned to her first question.
……
sigh?
"Did I sigh just now?"
It was too late to be dissatisfied that the gray-haired girl did not respond to his answer. The boy was a little confused by the gray-haired girl's question.
Why didn't he know?
……
"You sighed."
The gray-haired girl affirmed.
……
"Oh."
The boy nodded.
He probably understood why he sighed.
"I'm looking for you."
The boy looked up at the gray-haired girl.
"I thought you weren't here..."
I feel very disappointed...
……
"Are you looking for me?"
The gray-haired girl tilted her head.
"Why?"
……
The boy forgot to ask why the girl suddenly appeared...
He pursed his lips.
His expression calmed down.
He took a deep breath silently in his mind.
"I wanted to come and thank you."
……
"Thank me?"
The gray-haired girl blinked.
"Why?"
What did it do?
……
"...Thank you for playing me the music last time."
The boy hesitated for a while and then chose the one that would least make him feel embarrassed.
……
"Oh."
The gray-haired girl nodded.
"This."
"Yeah."
The gray-haired girl nodded again, with a matter-of-fact look on her face.
"You want to thank me."
"Not many humans have heard me play."
……
Boy: ...I don’t know if he is feeling more speechless or funny at this moment.
The gray-haired girl was still the same as when they last met.
He didn't notice that the gray-haired girl was talking about...human beings.
……
"Yeah."
The boy raised his lips and said, "Thank you for playing the music for me."
"I'm glad I heard you play."
……
"That's it."
The gray-haired girl waved her hands impatiently, "Thank you once."
"It's annoying to talk too much."
……
Boy:...
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He touched his neck.
"Ahem~"
He cleared his throat.
"That..."
The boy's eyes were slightly wandering.
"I also want to thank you..."
……
"Thank me for what?"
After waiting for a while, the gray-haired girl asked directly without waiting for the next step.
"Did you forget what you were going to say?"
Otherwise, why did it stop for so long?
……
Boy:...
How is that possible! ?
……
"Forget it if you can't remember."
The gray-haired girl said casually.
"I didn't pay much attention to your thanks..."
……
"No!"
the boy shouted.
"Ahem~"
This time, the boy really choked on his own saliva.
He took a deep breath.
This guy never stops yelling.
This guy...
If it weren't for the perfect timing...
After one contact, he probably won't want to meet the other person a second time.
……
Phew~
The boy adjusted his emotions.
"I didn't forget what I was going to say."
After being teased by the gray-haired girl, the boy found that those words didn't seem so difficult to say.
"I want to thank you..."
The boy paused.
He looked at the gray-haired girl seriously.
"Thank you for appearing in front of me that day."
……
The gray-haired girl was slightly startled.
"...Why?"
……
No unexpected direct reaction...
The boy couldn't help but smile.
"I was in a bad mood that day..."
"Because I failed the exam."
"Of course."
"Actually, I was in a bad mood for a long time before that day."
"Because of some things that happened at home..."
Looking back now, those things still make him feel a little like it was the other day.
So he had always been vaguely afraid in his heart.
He smiled again.
"My life has suddenly become...I can't adapt to it..."
"Very strange..."
"Everyone has become so strange..."
"I..."
The boy's fingers closed unconsciously.
Dull nails dug into flesh.
"...They ignored me..."
"I can't take the initiative to integrate into them..."
He doesn't know what he can do to make everything return to the way it was before?
But now he is much more optimistic.
Mom is back.
His former friends may soon be back, too.
He is patient.
Even if they don't come back in the end...it doesn't matter.
He will go to a new school.
He will also make new friends.
……
"I became a person..."
The boy lowered his eyes for a moment.
But soon, he raised his eyes again.
He tried to smile and pretended not to care.
As if these embarrassing words were just a joke.
"I began to feel that I was hated by everyone..."
"…and then…"
The boy really laughed this time.
"I met you."
"Although you annoyed me at first."
……
"Why?"
The gray-haired girl asked confused.
……
The boy pursed his lips and smiled.
