Chapter 3225 The missing maple leaf
The boy unilaterally severed contact with Crow Crow.
Now, I want to regain my relationship with Yaya...
Crow Crow didn't give him a chance.
And the red maple leaf that Crow Crow gave him...
After cutting off contact with Crow Crow for who knows how many days, when he thought of Crow Crow, he flipped through all his notebooks.
No?
No? !
Nowhere...
……
He froze.
Then he turned over his entire house.
He thought he had remembered it wrong.
In fact, I didn't put the maple leaves in the notebook at that time.
Or maybe it was true at first, but then he put the maple leaves somewhere else?
He doesn't know.
But as long as there is a one percent chance, he is not willing to let it go.
……
Still not.
Looking at the messy house, the boy sat on the bed blankly.
In the autumn season, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
……
The movement in the house attracted my mother.
Seeing the situation in the room, the woman raised her eyebrows slightly.
What's going on?
It's just that she was more curious than angry.
Because the child has become particularly sensible since his father left.
She felt distressed and relieved at the same time.
She felt like it was the first time she had seen such a scene of making a mess in the house?
So...
What happened?
……
Mother?
The boy suddenly came to his senses.
The anxious and helpless mood paused.
But soon, the boy seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
he asked urgently.
"Mom, have you seen the maple leaf I put in the notebook?"
……
"Maple leaf?"
The woman was surprised.
There was such a big commotion, it almost turned the house upside down...
Just to find a maple leaf?
……
The woman shook her head slightly.
Sometimes it’s really hard to understand children’s thoughts.
But......
Now that the child asked her, the woman frowned and thought.
Maple leaves...
……
"Yeah."
The boy looked at the woman expectantly.
The hands hanging by his sides could not help but clenched into fists.
……
"...No..."
The woman gently touched her temple.
She shook her head at the boy with regret on her face.
"I have never seen a maple leaf."
……
"No?"
The boy was disappointed at first, and then asked relentlessly.
"Didn't you see it when you helped me tidy up the room?"
He had thought that maybe when his mother was helping him tidy up his room, he thought the maple leaves were garbage and threw them away.
After all...
Who would think that a maple leaf is precious?
……
Is this really the case...
Where is he going to find that maple leaf?
I can still try my luck if I lose it in the past two days.
If it had been lost a long time ago...
Does he have any other option besides giving up?
……
"No."
The woman was a little unsure.
"There shouldn't be..."
"At least I haven't seen it recently..."
……
"What about earlier?"
The boy clenched his hands.
"No matter when you see the maple leaves in my house..."
……
Looking at the child's expectant eyes, the woman also wanted to give a positive answer.
But...
Still she shook her head.
"No."
"I have no memory of seeing maple leaves."
"Of course, it's possible that it's been too long and I forgot..."
The woman was confused.
"Does it count a long time ago?"
"When did you lose the maple leaf?"
She thought the child had just disappeared from Maple Leaf...
……
"..."
The mother's question stopped the boy.
He lowered his head.
"...I don't know..."...
The boy's voice was too vague, and the boy lowered his head so that the woman could not see the shape of the boy's mouth, and the woman turned her face sideways.
"What?"
"What did you just say?"
……
The boy pursed his lips hard.
He raised his face.
His eyes were still a little wandering.
I dare not meet my mother's eyes.
"...I don't know when the maple leaves disappeared..."
……
"I clearly remembered to put it in my notebook!"
The boy explained hurriedly.
"But I searched all the books..."
The boy looked disappointed and confused.
"I just couldn't find the maple leaf..."
"I wonder if..."
"The maple leaves fell out of the book."
"I searched the whole house."
"No maple leaf found."
"I wonder if you mistakenly treated it as garbage when you were helping me tidy up the room?"
"Or maybe you've seen it..."
"Keep it somewhere else?"
……
"Then why did you suddenly think of looking for it?"
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly.
Since I didn’t realize it was missing right away, then...
This maple leaf should not be a particularly important item for children.
Why do you suddenly look like you won't give up until you find it?
"Is that maple leaf important?"
Just a maple leaf...
The important thing is definitely not the maple leaf itself.
It’s the meaning contained on the maple leaves.
The woman looked at the boy.
"Who gave you a gift?"
……
The boy's eyes suddenly widened.
How did mom know? !
……
"I guessed it right."
The woman smiled.
"It's a good guess."
She arched her eyebrows.
"Maple leaves are just ordinary maple leaves."
"If you like it, there are maple trees in the community where we live."
"You can definitely pick another maple leaf."
"Then why do you have to go through so much trouble to find that maple leaf?"
"Really?"
……
The boy pinched his fingers.
He responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
"...It was a gift from my friend..."
"A very important friend..."
……
"That's right."
really.
The women guessed correctly.
She reached out and gently touched the child's head.
Then, her movements became a little gentler.
It seems to be a gift from a very important friend.
Because the child didn't react at all when she touched his head.
……
At the earliest, when she would touch her child's head, the child would throw away her hand with an unhappy expression and angrily say not to touch his head.
Later, although the child would not let go of her hand, he still looked a little unhappy.
There was no reaction at all like this time...
Obviously the child's thoughts were on the missing maple leaf.
……
But the child had one question that he didn't answer her.
Since it is a gift from such an important friend...
"Why did I just realize now that the maple leaf is missing?"
The woman suddenly thought of a possibility.
"I put it away and never looked at it. Today I thought about it and wanted to take it out to have a look, but then I realized it was missing, right?"
……
The boy's lips moved.
He nodded.
There was no sound.
Mom said this...it seems to be the case.
……
The woman nodded understandingly.
I see.
But finding that maple leaf like this... is not easy.
"Are you sure you put the maple leaf in the notebook?"
the woman asked.
……
The boy nodded.
He is sure.
