The child's mouth opened too.
What!?
At some point, the red maple leaves dancing across the sky had formed two characters.
"Sure."
A few seconds later, the maple leaves scattered again.
The scene from before seemed like an illusion.
The child blinked, then blinked again...
"Big Brother!"
The child turned her head.
Her expression was shocked and incredulous.
"Did you see that!?"
"Just now..."
The child gestured with her hand.
Her voice was stumbling a little.
"That..."
"...the maple leaves..."
The child took a deep breath,
then struggled to force a few words out of her throat. "They wrote something!?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded with a smile.
"That was the maple tree spirit answering Bao Bao."
The child froze.
Huh?
It was answering her?
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao's lips curled up.
"Didn't Bao Bao ask if she could give those two maple leaves to her mommy and daddy?"
Oh...
The child froze.
"That's its answer."
The child turned her head again.
It's possible...
Huh!?
The child's mouth fell open.
She saw...
The maple leaves were dancing.
The two characters soon disappeared.
Only the sky full of maple leaves remained.
The child stood stunned for a long while.
Only then did her somewhat sluggish mind piece everything together...
So...
"The maple tree spirit agreed to let me give the leaves to Mommy and Daddy!?"
The child spoke quickly.
Her face showed surprise and delight, mixed with a hint of uncertainty.
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
It agreed.
Wow~
The child's whole face lit up.
"Thank you~"
The child's eyes curved into crescents.
The child lowered her head.
She looked at the three maple leaves in her hand.
Hehe.
The child couldn't hold back her smile.
One for Daddy.
One
