"Grandma..."
The little boy looked at a loss.
The boy's mother smiled.
She let the little boy talk to his grandma.
She looked at Xiao Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao.
"You two kind people..."
She bent at the waist. "Thank you."
"Thank you for helping us find our child."
"Thank you so, so much..."
Mm.
It was Lu Xiaoxiao who had found the child.
The boy's mother accepted that explanation without the slightest doubt.
She looked at the ice cream in the little boy's hand. "Bao Bao, you really didn't eat someone else's ice cream?"
Xiao Xiao smiled. "Bao Bao just happened to be standing next to another child..."
Just like how Little Deer would ask humans for food...
"It was a misunderstanding."
"Bao Bao, tell us. Who accused you?"
Those two young people had probably been helping her look for her child ever since they parted ways.
That way of addressing him...
It was as if the child hadn't gotten lost and his parents were right beside him...
Asking a five-year-old to explain the ins and outs of something was a bit much for him.
There were also deer that were quite large.
But the little girl hadn't eaten it.
So when she heard it, she hadn't reacted right away.
"...That's what happened..."
The child they'd thought was in some hidden place...
The boy's mother and grandma were both a little stunned.
The little girl had heard the children arguing at the time.
She looked at Lu Xiaoxiao.
The boy's mother looked at Xiao Xiao.
The old woman also held the child's hand as she bowed to thank the two young people.
She hadn't expected to get an answer...
The ice cream in the child's hand was gone...
"It's a deer bigger than Little Deer."
