"I had nothing to do."

The child retorted subconsciously.

…

"Didn't you sprain your foot?"

"You still said it's okay?"

The old man's words left the child speechless for a moment.

He always felt that grandma didn't mean it that way.

But what exactly it meant, he couldn't tell.

The child's thin eyebrows were tangled together.

…

"alright."

The old man took the child's hand and said, "Let's go home."

She just wants to take her children out of here as soon as possible.

This forest is not clean. It is better not to let children come here in the future.

…

"Why?"

The force coming from my hand was a bit strong.

The child felt some pain and said, "Grandma, it hurts."

The child subconsciously waved his hand in an attempt to break away from the old man's nearly restraining hand.

"ah?"

The old man reacted immediately and hurriedly relaxed the pressure in his hands, "I'm sorry, Leilei, did grandma scratch you?"

"Grandma didn't pay attention and held on too tightly..."

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

The child thought grandma looked a little strange.

Such a grandmother made him feel strange and a little scared.

The faint shrinking in the child's eyes made the old man startled.

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes relaxed, "Grandma may be a little tired."

"It's very late."

"Leilei, let's go home and rest, okay?"

"……good."

Is grandma tired?

The child raised his head and looked at the sky through the interlaced branches and leaves above.

The thick night almost swallowed up the few stars.

The moonlight is also very shallow.

It's very late.

When his mother sent him here, he said that grandma was old and couldn't bear to stay up late, so she asked him to go to bed early and not to make trouble too late...

He remembered them all.

The child nodded, "Yeah."

"Grandma, let's go home."

Immediately, the child took grandma's hand and said, "Grandma, wait for me."

He looked at his hands, then at the old man.

The child had let go of the old man's hand.

But the old man still held the child's hand tightly.

Seeing the child looking over, the old man showed a loving smile.

The child was a little helpless, "Grandma, please let go of me first."

"Ah...oh..."

The old man hesitated and let go of the child's hand.

Seeing the child take a step forward, her expression tightened and her mouth opened.

In the end, nothing was said.

He stared at the child's every move with unblinking eyes.

The free hands were clasped together.

The fingertips are slightly white.

…

"tiger."

The child did not notice the strange look on the old man's face.

He thought that just as the old man said to him before, the old man was tired.

So, although he was very reluctant to say goodbye, he had to say goodbye to the tiger.

As for the strange words grandma said before about him talking to the air, he had forgotten it.

"Tiger, I'm going home."

The child stretched out his hand, paying attention to the tiger's expression, and carefully touched the tiger's head.

I have hugged a tiger’s head before.

But he was so excited at that time that he almost forgot what it felt like.

Well.

Soft.

In fact, tigers really look like big cats.

Although I thought it was scary when I first saw it.

After all, tigers are much bigger than cats.

It also looks much more powerful.

However, even though he was a little reluctant at this time, the half-disgusted look of the tiger that did not avoid him immediately reminded him of the fat orange next door.

The child couldn't help but grin.

The silly smile made the disgust in Tiger's eyes deepen even more.

…

"Tiger, goodbye."

After saying goodbye, the child did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the tiger expectantly and said, "Tiger, I will come and play with you tomorrow, okay?"

The tiger glanced at the old man behind the child and said nothing.

"tiger?"

The child opened his eyes wide.

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.

No?

Doesn't the tiger want to play with him?

Why?

Tiger hates him?

But he likes tigers so much.

…

"Ouch~"

Seeing the child's pitiful appearance, Tiger curled his lips, but responded.

If this child could come...

The child didn't know what the tiger was thinking, he just knew that the tiger promised him.
