"I actually didn't think too much about it."

"I just want to find him..."

Then, he smiled and said to him -

I found you.

...

Just like every time my sister found him in the past.

The boy in the woolen hat always liked the smile on his sister's face when he found her.

I also like the smile on my sister's face when she found him.

Therefore, he felt that if he found the other party...

The other party will also be very happy.

...

"Xiao Zhen..."

The woman in the white down jacket had a complicated expression, "I didn't expect..."

"You are so childish."

...

Boy with woolen hat:......

He lowered his eyes, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

All right.

It's not like he didn't guess his sister's reaction.

to be honest......

His reasons are indeed quite childish.

...

"...So, I am free to do whatever I want..."

The boy in the woolen hat murmured in a low voice.

"I just care..."

"It's just a coincidence anyway..."

When I hear people talking about monsters on the road, I will get excited and ask questions...

Speaking of thinking the other person is a monster...

As my sister said before, she didn't expect that he persisted for so many years.

He is the same.

He didn't expect that his sister had been denying him for so many years.

My sister will start to think about the truth of his words.

So is he.

Moreover, as a younger brother who has been frail since childhood and has always been taken care of by his older sister, his older sister has a greater influence on him.

He had been recalling and thinking about what happened that afternoon.

And what my sister said.

His sister is always on his side.

My sister rarely refutes his words.

Of course, there is no need to refute. Many times, he will respond to whatever his sister says.

There was a big difference between what his sister said that time and what he saw and experienced.

His sister said it was a lie when she initially told him there was a friend in the house who was playing hide and seek with him.

A lie in order to stop him from pestering his sister so that she could go out and play.

But......

no.

He actually played hide and seek with an unmasked friend.

Why does my sister say that friend does not exist?

Is it a lie?

He doesn't understand.

It was rare that he didn't listen to his sister's words.

He insisted that everything he experienced was real.

...

He is growing up day by day.

It's not like he didn't doubt his own experience.

But the stubbornness in his heart made him insist on searching even if he had doubts.

Maybe what he wants to find is not the friend he only got along with for a short period of time.

But an answer.

An answer that would allow him to completely let go of all these years of persistence.

One day, he accidentally heard an interesting story.

It was a boy who was happily telling his friends about his special experiences as a child.

...

"monster?"

"Pfft~"

"I can't tell, you are so childlike."

"real."

"Don't disbelieve it."

"And, tell me, other than the monster, how do you explain my adventure?"

"My grandma said that I encountered a monster."

"Say this is a rare fate."

"Let me cherish it."

"But my mother was worried that I might get caught in something dirty, so she took me to the temple without telling my grandma."

"Your mother actually believes it too?"

"People in your family...are quite traditional."

"What happened next?"

"Have you ever encountered...a monster again?"

"Pfft~hahaha~"

"Don't laugh."

“What an interesting experience.”

"It's a pity that I never met him again."

"...It's not really because my mother took me to the temple, right?"

...

monster......?

Boys with woolen hats feel like they are suddenly enlightened.

Could it be that... what he encountered back then... was also a monster?

That's why no one else noticed, only him?

...

He was very excited.

He didn't know if his guess was correct?

But for me, who has always been clueless, this is the direction I am looking for.
