"Squeak~Squeak~"

The child stared at the bird and spoke uncertainly, "Do you... want me and you?"

Seeing the bird nodding, the child opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He stood up.

The bird has already flew forward.

He felt anxious and staggered after him.

......

"At that time, I only had Xiaohuo in my eyes and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation."

The boy sighed at that incredible experience, "Until I heard my mother's scream..."

"I just realized that I had walked out of the house and even went down the stairs and reached the entrance of the stairs."

To this day, he is still confused about what happened at that time.

But the only thing that can be confirmed is-

The little fire saved him.

...

He still remembers that day his mother hugged him and cried.

But he was a little confused.

Of course, in the eyes of others, his behavior was frightened.

He was indeed frightened.

But, besides that, Xiaohuo's appearance faded his fear.

What left him with that experience was not only fear, but also magical.

Mom's emotions infected him.

My mother hugged him too tightly.

He could feel the trembling coming from his mother.

He burst into tears and forgot about Xiaohuo for the time being.

"…When I remembered it later, Xiaohuo was gone."

The boy smiled.

Although I was disappointed at that time, I had no choice but to do anything about it.

He told his parents about Xiaohuo.

But his parents told him that it was just an illusion in his confused state.

How come there are birds in the sea of ​​fire?

Did the bird save him?

What saved him was his own obsession with escaping.

He still remembers that at that time, his parents hugged him and praised him as a brave child.

Since my parents said so, the child soon forgot about the birds in the sea of ​​fire.

but……

"I saw Xiaohuo again behind me."

The boy narrowed his eyes. The gap between the leaves above the place he had just walked was a little big, and the sunlight cast down pierced his eyes.

He took a few steps quickly.

"I'm very surprised."

"I thought Xiaohuo was really just my illusion..."

“But it appears again.”

It was on an ordinary day, a spring afternoon.

He went home from school.

A casual look he saw-

The little fire stood beside the forsythia lace poking out from the wall.

The beautiful sunset shone on Xiaohuo's body, and the fiery red hair became more and more brilliant, making people almost completely unable to see the forsythia beside them.

He couldn't help but walk into the wall.

When he got closer, he realized that Xiaohuo's body was red, but Xiaohuo's head was white.

The last fire and this sunset made the boy not discover this first.

The small fire reflected by the fire and the sunset is like a flame burning all over the body.

Just like... a fire spirit.

The boy's eyes widened.

The eyes and face were filled with amazement and surprise.

...

"That was the case, I discovered that Xiaohuo was a monster."

Seeing that the road was ahead, the boy stopped and turned around.

Walk back again.

"I met my classmates..."

They called his name.

When he turned his head to look at them, they asked him strangely: What are you looking at?

He is stranger than them.

Of course I'm watching birds.

Such a beautiful bird...

He told it truthfully.

But it was exchanged for their even stranger eyes.

They said: Where are the birds?

There were no birds on the walls.

He was stunned.

Those classmates asked him with concern when they saw this.

They all knew that he had escaped from the fire, and the teacher also told them in the class to care more about their classmates.

The boy asked them again seriously: Are there really no birds?

They all shook their heads, and some even said that the boy was strange.

The boy was a little panicked and helpless.

He shook his head.

Said he was just kidding.

There were really birds before, a very beautiful bird.

But it had already flew away before they came.

The weird atmosphere disappeared.

The classmates all laughed.

It is said that boys can even joke.

Because boys usually talk very little in class and are not particularly active.

The boy smiled reluctantly.

The classmates said goodbye to him and left.

The boy left, too.

But soon, the boy ran back.

He was disappointed that he did not see the bird in his original position.

His shoulders drooped.

“…squeak~”
