Every time he successfully "escaped from the tiger's mouth", he and Xiaomei, who were fashionable, young and energetic, would look at each other and smile happily.

…

These are his precious memories.

Unfortunately, as he grew older, he was unable to take some risks even if he wanted to.

In the past few years, what he did more was leisurely swimming in the sea with Xiaomei.

Or he sits on the beach and chats with Xiaomei whose head is exposed in the sea.

Talk about each other’s experiences.

The sky is high above my head and the sun is shining brightly.

The water in front of you is clear and sparkling.

Everything is so beautiful.

…

"Mr. Zhao, when I come back this time, Xiaomei also gave me a task."

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.

The old man was stunned.

"Xiaomei also gave you a task?"

"What is it?"

The old man is curious.

Xiao Xiao took out a black velvet bag from his bag and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at the bag and then at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

"Let's see."

"This is Xiaomei's gift to you."

Xiaomei’s gift to him?

There was a look of surprise on the old man's face.

So this is ah.

This is not the first time he has received a gift from Xiaomei.

Because he would bring some small gifts to Xiaomei almost every time he went there.

After all, we meet once a year.

He wanted to be more cautious.

After Xiaomei understood the meaning of the gift, she also gave him a gift next time.

When he received Xiaomei's gift for the first time, he was really touched.

…

I don’t know what Xiaomei gave him this time.

There was an expectant smile on the old man's face.

Because Xiaomei’s gifts are always interesting.

Bizarre.

He even once received a whole fish bone.

At that time, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

But with Xiaomei's sparkling eyes in front of him, he could only smile and say that he liked it very much.

Of course, he really liked it.

He knew that these gifts were carefully selected by Xiaomei.

Although their aesthetics are somewhat different.

But the thought contained in the gift is the most important.

He was ready for a surprise.

result……

Looking at the gifts in the bag, the old man blinked.

There was a bit of confusion on his face.

This is... Xiaomei's gift?

…

Finding that the change in the old man's demeanor was not what he expected, Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, "What's wrong, Mr. Zhao?"

"Don't you like this gift?"

"no."

The old man shook his head.

"...Is this really a gift from Xiaomei?"

The old man couldn't help but ask.

"Um."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "It's a gift from Xiaomei."

"Is there anything wrong?"

"wrong……"

The old man murmured, then smiled and shook his head, "No."

"Compared with the gifts Xiaomei gave me before, this gift doesn't look like it was given by Xiaomei."

"It's so normal."

The old man said it again.

…

"I love so much."

The old man looked at the bag full of pearls.

Sunlight leaked through the gaps in the leaves and branches and fell into the bag.

The round and plump pearls cast a hazy halo.

"very beautiful."

"It's also very precious."

Such a bag of pearls, in such good condition, is definitely worth a lot of money.

"Too expensive."

The old man murmured.

It was the first time he received such an expensive gift.

…

"These are the pearls turned into by Xiaomei's tears."

…

"……ah?"

The old man rubbed his ears.

What did he just hear?

He looked at Xiao Xiao as if asking for confirmation.

"These pearls are made of Xiaomei's tears."

Xiao Xiao said what he just said again.

The old man's brain finally understood this sentence.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"These pearls...are made of Xiaomei's tears...?!"

...

The old man carefully took out a pearl.
