Xi Anya didn't have the extra energy to doubt Xiao Xiao's words.
Even if there is only a little hope...
She wanted to meet the owner of the feather.
This wish filled her heart and occupied her entire mind.
...
"Tweet~"
He flew towards the wisteria flower stand.
The small figure was hidden by the lush wisteria flowers and disappeared.
But soon, the crisp cry sounded again.
Zhen made a dexterous spin in the air and flew towards Xiao Xiao.
There is a silver-white feather in its fiery red beak.
The sharp color contrast makes the red appear brighter and the white... clearer.
…
"ah-"
Xi Anya hurriedly covered her mouth.
In her opinion, the feather seemed to fly into Classmate Xiao's hand.
Just like... a scene she often saw in TV dramas... martial arts masters use their internal strength to...retrieve objects from the air.
"...Master Xiao..."
Xi Anya murmured softly.
How is this going?
This boy called Master Xiao... seems to be a bit mysterious?
…
Xiao Xiao followed Li all the way forward.
In the meantime, there are twists and turns.
Every time I stopped it was because I found a feather.
…
"So many feathers..."
Meng Jixi curled his lips, "It's not afraid of being bald anymore."
"Pfft~"
Xi Anya couldn't help laughing.
Although she covered her mouth the next second and blinked her eyes, showing a bit of innocence.
…
"and-"
Meng Jixi glanced at the girl, then looked at Xiao Xiao, "Is it playing hide and seek with us?"
"Are you...are you kidding us?"
Hang them with feathers all the time...
…
Xi Anya opened her mouth to say something.
She felt that the other party... was probably not playing tricks on them.
Before, the feathers just appeared in front of her.
Even if she pretends she didn't see it every time, nothing will happen.
Of course, even if it was just like this, as the number of times increased and time passed, she couldn't control herself and couldn't help but... think wildly.
As a result, I scared myself, and the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.
The uneasiness slowly spread in my heart again.
The joy of finally finding the feather was suddenly diluted a bit.
She pursed her lips.
There was no sound.
…
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "We are about to find the rightful owner."
"We will know then whether it is playing hide and seek with us... or whether it is playing tricks on us."
"Um."
Meng Jixi responded.
He just talked casually.
Give up halfway?
That's not his style.
Rather, as time passed, he became more and more curious about the true identity of the feather owner.
And...it often appears in Xi Anya, no, it is the reason why she often throws feathers in front of Xi Anya.
Do you want to attract Xi Anya's attention?
What exactly is its purpose?
…
"Tweet~"
As if he had discovered something, he suddenly increased his speed and quickly got into the criss-crossing branches and leaves, losing his figure.
The rustling sound came continuously.
"Baby Spoon."
Xiao Xiao whispered in his heart.
"嘤嘤~"
…
Yingshao and Zhen attacked from both sides, and finally the sound among the leaves and branches stopped.
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly.
Meng Jixi, who was keenly aware of this, blurted out and asked, "Master Xiao, have you found it?"
Xi Anya was stunned and turned her head sharply to look over.
found it?!
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Caught.
A faint smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
…
"Really, really?!"
Xi Anya opened her eyes wide.
The sound has changed a bit.
But……
"Where?"
Xi Anya turned her head and looked around.
A look of unbearable anxiety.
"Where is it, Master Xiao?"
"I didn't see it!"
…
"..."
Xiao Xiao put his finger in front of his lips.
Um?
Xi Anya was stunned.
Meng Jixi reminded the girls, "Someone is coming."
ah?
Xi Anya still hasn't come back to her senses.
Someone has been -
Xi Anya was stunned.
She recalled the expressions on her friends' faces when they first learned that she had seen the feathers, and she felt a little enlightened.
She pursed her lips and said, "...I'm sorry."
She was too excited.
…
"This is not something that needs an apology."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"It's just... it would be better to have less trouble, don't you think?"
"Um."
Xi Anya nodded.
I could hear the chatter of students walking in.
It's two girls.
It was obvious that she had done nothing wrong, but Xi Anya was surprised to find that she couldn't even turn around and look at the students who walked in.
She maintained her posture in a daze, her hands clasped together with nowhere to rest.
Soon, the sound of conversation faded away.
Xi Anya then turned around slightly and saw the backs of the two girls leaving.
…
Just as Xi Anya was about to say something, she saw a student walking around the corner from the corner of her eye.
Her brows frowned slightly.
This location is not very good.
Although there are not many, occasionally there will be students passing by in twos and threes.
Wouldn't that be inconvenient...
She felt a little impatient in her heart.
She looked at Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi.
After noticing how calm they were, she paused.
"Pa~"
She slapped her cheeks hard with both hands.
Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi looked over after hearing the sound and laughed at Anya.
Then he lowered his eyelids.
She felt that her performance was really poor.
Fortunately, she had always thought that she was a person who was not easily affected by emotions.
It turns out...it's not that she is calm and restrained, but that she has never really encountered anything.
So once something really happens, her performance is simply terrible.
Startled, restless, and thinking wildly...
Especially with these two people around me.
Xi Anya felt that she was almost embarrassed to see others.
It's so embarrassing.
…
Xi Anya took a deep breath.
This can't go on like this.
She needs to be steady.
Obviously I am so lucky to have someone to talk to.
And it looks like they might actually be able to solve her problem.
She couldn't hold back anymore.
...
Twilight all around.
"Bahta~", the street light turned on.
It illuminates the increasingly empty teaching area.
...
Xiao Xiao was in a trance for a moment when he saw the monster "carried" out by Lin and Yingshao.
What a beautiful monster.
I think so.
How could the real owner with such beautiful feathers be ugly?
A slight smile appeared in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"I have no ill intentions."
"can we talk?"
"I thought you might need my help too."
...
Xiao Xiao's sudden voice and incomprehensible words made Meng Jixi and Xi Anya stunned.
But Meng Jixi reacted quickly.
He looked in front of Xiao Xiao.
There was nothing in his eyes.
A strange look appeared on his face.
All kinds of emotions are intertwined together.
There are novelties and also regrets.
He really wanted to see the world in Master Xiao's eyes...how magical it was...
...
Meng Jixi recovered his distracted thoughts.
Turning his face slightly, he glanced at the girl next to him.
really......
You still have to ask Master Xiao for this kind of thing.
