Worry?

The old lady looked at the old man and then at the child.

Although she was confused, she didn't say anything.

She knew that she would know the answer soon.

…

"Can't you tell your grandparents?"

The old man's tone was gentle.

The child shook his head.

no.

He was just a little embarrassed to say it.

"Is it about tigers?"

The old man's next words made the child suddenly startled.

"I got it right."

The old man smiled and said, "Besides being reluctant to let go, what are you worried about?"

The old man's question hit the nail on the head.

The child opened his mouth, a little sluggishly.

After a while, the child rubbed his cheek and whispered, "..."

"What?"

The old man touched his ears and said, "Grandpa, grandma is old and her ears don't work well."

"Leilei's voice is so soft, grandpa and grandma can't hear clearly."

The old lady rolled her eyes at the old man.

What does age have to do with it?

At the child's volume just now, a young person wouldn't be able to hear clearly either.

…

The child took a deep breath.

The voice he spoke again was slightly louder than before.

Fortunately, the two old men were prepared and heard the children clearly this time.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

The child's worries...are not unreasonable.

The old lady pursed her lips.

She actually wanted to say...it's good not to be able to see it.

No one could see it, except my grandson, who always felt uneasy.

However, the child is worried about this possibility.

Naturally, the old lady would not say anything to pour cold water on her at this time.

…

"Leilei, grandpa can't guarantee you anything on this issue."

The old man thought for a while, then slowly spoke.

The child's head dropped a little.

"But……"

The old man pressed the child's shoulder and looked at the child's raised eyes, "Grandpa thinks Leilei is a very lucky child."

"Leilei saw the tiger that few people saw."

"And we became friends with it."

"This luck will last forever."

"real?"

The child opened his eyes wide.

Want to get a definite answer.

"Um."

The old man nodded, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed, "And-"

"No matter whether we don't see Hu Zi later, the fact that you are friends will not change."

"Isn't it?"

"Or, if you can't see Huzi anymore, Huzi is no longer your friend?"

"Will you forget Hu Zi?"

"no!"

The child shook his head desperately, "I will never forget Hu Zi."

"Huzi is my friend!"

“Very good friends!”

"Isn't this enough?"

The old man patted the fearful child on the shoulder again, "Children, don't think too much."

"Just let nature take its course."

"Let's go."

"If you don't go back, your parents will be surprised."

"Why is there no one at home?"

…

"After that time, whenever I have a vacation, I want to go to my grandpa's house."

The old man's eyes, which were dazed by memories, gradually returned to focus, reflecting the look of the young man opposite him, "But that's not easy."

"My grandpa's house is in the village, quite far away from my home."

"It takes a lot of time on the road."

"Moreover, as we grow older, the pressure of academic studies is also increasing."

"My parents are increasingly disapproving of my frequent visits to my grandpa's house..."

For this reason, he argued with his parents.

But when his parents asked him what he was doing at his grandpa's house, he remained silent.

Mom and dad can't see the tiger.

He knew it from the beginning.

Grandpa told him not to tell people who can't see Hu Zi about Hu Zi.

He understands grandpa's concerns.

He is no longer the child he was when he first met Hu Zi.

He doesn't want to have troubles in his life.

In the end, all he could tell his parents was to visit his grandpa and grandma.

A perfect reason.

But he couldn't convince his parents to "let him go."

After all, he visited too many times.

…

The child was unwilling but helpless.

He desperately wants to grow up.

You can freely decide where you want to go.

…

The summer vacation after my senior year of high school.

He made a proposal to Hu Zi that he had been thinking about for a long time.
