So what should he be called?

The boys became confused.

He couldn't say it when he called him brother.

It feels a little strange to call me brother.

Are there any other names?

classmate?

Senior?

The boy took a deep breath.

"Brother Xiao..."

He finally chose this title.

"What I saw... was a monster?"

…

"Um."

Xiao Xiao was not at all impatient with the boy's repeated confirmation.

After all, this is indeed a fact that takes some time to accept.

…

"so……"

The boy asked a question that had been pressing in his heart for many years, but he still dared not touch easily.

"Are they all true...?"

He is not a stubborn person.

He's not that opinionated either.

If possible, he would be willing to listen to other people's opinions.

Especially the opinions of parents.

Both his parents said he was wrong.

They even took him to the hospital.

.......

When he grew up, he suddenly realized why his parents had to take him to the hospital even though he was not sick.

Did his parents think there was something wrong with his mental condition?

To be honest…

When he grew up, he also checked a lot of information himself.

The more he looked, the more he felt, was there really something wrong with him?

fantasy?

Conjecture?

false?

he does not know.

He couldn't control the doubt in his heart.

He is afraid of unknown creatures.

I am even more afraid that all this is just my imagination.

He found……

The fact that they were illusory frightened him more than the fact that they were real.

He couldn't help but shudder.

Goosebumps crawled all over my body.

…

He has never been a determined person.

How can he be sure that he really saw it when only he can see it?

Rather than having a mental problem with him?

…

Is he a psychopath?

The boys instinctively resisted this guess.

He is normal.

He is not sick.

Because he was afraid of going to the hospital, he always paid attention to his health.

Just so that I don’t have to force myself to go to the hospital.

His spirit...

He is also mentally normal.

He admits that apart from being timid and easily frightened, he has a correct outlook on life and is positive.

How could such a person have mental problems?

…

There seemed to be two little people pulling the saw in his mind all the time.

Debating whether what he saw was reality or fiction?

This entanglement gave him a huge mental burden.

He is getting thinner and thinner.

Becoming uncontrollably thin.

However, after entering puberty, he grew up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Maybe most boys want to be as tall as possible.

He is not.

He wishes he was shorter.

It can also be less eye-catching.

…

He is too eye-catching now.

When walking on the road, there are always people pointing at him.

Occasionally he could hear some whispers.

Only then did he realize that in the eyes of others, he looked like he was seriously ill or had suffered a huge blow...

All in all, they are all miserable settings.

Although he felt that he was quite miserable, his misery was completely different from the guesses of passers-by.

...

"Didn't you see it?"

Seeing the boy's open mouth, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, then calmed down and looked serious.

"it is true."

He knows boys' doubts and uncertainties.

accidental.

Just by chance.

He will also be in such a trance.

Are they all real?

Do they really exist around him?

It's not his imagination.

It's not his fantasy.

He lives with them under the same blue sky.

Breathing the same air.

Bathed in the same sunshine.

...

"Everything you see is real."
