The old man took a deep breath.

A hearty smile appeared on his face.

"One last time."

"...I hope you won't find the old man annoying."

"Thank you."

...

"Wow~"

The branches and leaves began to tremble rustlingly.

The wind howled.

There was some noise.

...

The wind is a bit strong today.

The old man was lost in thought at the window for a while, and then he half-closed the window.

Turn around and walk towards the bed.

He took out a tin box from the cabinet.

The sticker on it is a little faded and yellowed.

...

The old man opened the box.

Flower bookmarks, feathers, leaf bookmarks...

There are also flyers for restaurants.

All the gifts he received during this time are here.

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes have relaxed.

Fingers gently brushed over these small and scattered objects.

The feeling at that time did not lessen, but in fact became stronger.

"......Thanks."

The old man's murmur sounded in the quiet room.

Then gradually dissipated.

...

The little monster looked back at the old man.

"Hoo~"

Another gust of wind picked up.

The wind stopped.

There is no trace of the little monster on this big tree anymore.

...

It's been a long time since the little monster lived in a tree for so long.

The old man finally recovered his health.

It's time for it to go too.

...

It heard the old man's thanks.

But it's not very acceptable.

After all, it was the culprit that caused the old man's injury in the first place...

It is just making up for its own mistakes.

There's nothing to be thankful for.

...

Riding on the wind, the little monster quickly left the community where the old man lived.

Having said that...

But it was still very happy to see that the old man liked the gift it gave him so much.

"Gugu~"

goodbye.

...

"Did you remind yourself?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and then reminded the little monster, "Boys and girls have different tolerances."

"With the same force, a boy might just tilt the umbrella in his hand, but a girl might end up in the same situation just now."

"The tolerance of the elderly, young people and children is also different."

"Young people have more strength, but the elderly and children have less strength, so they may not be able to hold the umbrella."

"You also need to remind yourself of these differences."

"Gugu~"

The little monster held his head and tilted it.

Then he nodded obediently.

What a complicated feeling.

It will be remembered.

...

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched.

He didn't stop the little monster from doing his little mischief.

Just like the Pipa ghost likes to make faces at people, this monster likes to play like this on rainy days.

As long as the little monster remembers his words.

Little pranks are harmless.

...

"I am leaving."

Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the little monster.

...

"Gugu~"

Just when Xiao Xiao's figure was about to disappear into the rain, the little monster shouted loudly.

...

Xiao Xiao stopped.

Turn around.

He looked up as if aware.

The little monster poked its head out from the branches above him.

...

The little monster showed a bright smile to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Gugu~Gugu~"

The little monster said a little embarrassed.

Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.

...

"Ouch~"

Taotie opened his eyes dissatisfied.
