arrive!

The boy turned his head eagerly and looked around.

"Huchi~huchi~"

The boy's chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped heavily.

Seemingly overwhelmed, the boy bent down slightly and put his hands on his knees.

"Huchi~huchi~"

There is no Xiaohei.

"Xiao Hei!"

The boy shouted, "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei..."

"Where are you?"

"Xiao Hei!"

…

The mist has cleared and the bright sunshine is shining gently.

The blue sky is endless.

It's a nice sunny day today.

However, the boy was in a terrible mood.

My throat was dry and astringent, and there was a slight pain.

He touched his neck and swallowed hard.

If he hadn't been scolded fiercely by an aunt for being too noisy just now, he wouldn't have stopped and called Xiao Hei's name.

He looked up at the sky.

He knew it was time for him to go to school.

The boy blinked his eyes and took a few more deep breaths before he endured the sourness in his nose.

Xiaohei...where have you been?

…

The boy searched for many days.

I get up before dawn every day and go out.

When I come back at night, the street lights are often on.

The two old men were a little suspicious of him and almost thought he was doing something bad.

Seeing the worried looks on his grandparents' faces, the boy gave up.

But every time he passed by the place where he met the little black cat, he would always stop and stare.

He expected to hear a familiar voice.

During that time, he became increasingly silent.

...

Once, he actually heard a cat meowing.

"Meow~"

He turned back suddenly.

His eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light called surprise.

But soon, the light flashed away like a shooting star across the sky.

Not Xiaohei.

It's a wild cat with dark markings.

The cat was a bit bigger than Xiao Hei, and seemed to be startled by his sudden movement.

His back was arched, and the hair on his body exploded.

The dark yellow eyes bulged slightly.

The next second, the wild cat turned around and ran away.

It was the same as when Xiao Hei first saw him.

There was a bit of a smile on the boy's face.

But soon, the smile faded and the boy's breath darkened again.

Xiaohei...where did he go?

Are you in danger?

Or... go home?

He always thought Xiao Hei was a wild cat.

Xiaohei has only one eye.

Although he thought it was handsome, he knew that most people didn't like cats with such flaws.

Even if Xiao Hei originally had a family, later... he probably didn't have one anymore.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Hei "pick him up" from school every day?

...

Could it be that something happened to Xiao Hei?

Since returning home is unlikely, the most likely option is the first guess.

As for Xiao Hei leaving on his own...

He doesn't believe it.

Xiao Hei will not leave him.

He made an agreement with Xiao Hei that when he grows up and makes money, he will take Xiao Hei home.

Xiao Hei stuck out his tongue and licked his hand.

Then he called out softly, "Meow~"

He knew that Xiao Hei agreed.

Xiao Hei had obviously promised him, so he would not go back on his word and leave him.

...

The thought that something might happen to Xiao Hei made him restless.

But...what can he do?

He searched over and over again for places where Xiao Hei might go.

Besides, what else can he do?

he can't do anything

The boy clenched his hands.

...

When he was at school, in order not to worry his grandparents, he no longer went out early and came back late because he was looking for Xiao Hei.

He clearly told himself to give up.

But during the holidays, he still couldn't help but run out.

There is no destination.

Walk freely.

Expect a miracle to happen.

...

Then, a miracle really happened.

He saw a one-eyed cat like Xiao Hei.

The second one-eyed cat he saw.

...

He knew it was not Xiao Hei.

But he missed Xiao Hei so much.

That cat, like Xiao Hei, is a black one-eyed cat.
