The child took a tin box from the drawer.
The box was covered all around with delicate pictures.
The child opened the box.
She took out two candy wrappers.
"These."
The child held up the candy wrappers for Xiao Xiao to see.
"There are lots of little bears on them."
"So cute."
"This one is mine."
The child wiggled the candy wrapper in her right hand.
"This one is Little Bear's."
The child wiggled the candy wrapper in her left hand.
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.
"They're both very cute."
"Hehe."
The child grinned happily.
But soon, the smile vanished from the child's face again.
Her lips drooped.
She looked like she was about to cry.
These were all memories she shared with Little Bear.
The more she looked at these things, the more she missed Little Bear.
"Big Brother."
The child called out, her voice choked with tears.
"I miss Little Bear."
"Will you help me find Little Bear?"
"I really miss Little Bear..."
Hua Ziyun felt for her.
He looked away.
The sight of the child crying and pleading was too heartbreaking.
Unfortunately,
there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't help her.
Huh?
Hua Ziyun paused, slightly taken aback.
Was that...?
"Master Xiao."
Hua Ziyun called softly.
He'd only called out on a whim.
He figured that if Master Xiao didn't hear him, that was fine.
But...
As soon as Hua Ziyun's voice fell, Master Xiao turned around.
After a brief pause, Hua Ziyun quickly gestured in that direction with his eyes.
"Master Xiao, look."
Xiao Xiao followed Hua Ziyun's gaze.
He soon realized what Hua Ziyun wanted him to look at.
It was a Little Bear Doll.
