Oh~
The uncle suddenly understood.
He looked at the little boy again. "You could have asked your little aunt to help you."
Wouldn't that have solved the problem easily?
"I can do it..."
The little boy's voice grew weaker and weaker.
The uncle smiled knowingly.
He understood.
The little boy's pride.
He always thought he could do everything.
He didn't want to ask others for help.
"Of course."
The uncle grinned. "You're amazing."
"But even the most amazing people have things they can't do."
"If you don't want to see an unlucky guy like me again next time, ask someone for help, kid."
"Pfft~"
The girl with slanted ponytail couldn't hold back her laughter again.
Unlucky guy...
Come to think of it, a man who had been hit by falling objects twice while walking down the street really did deserve that title.
The little boy blinked.
Then he revealed a mouthful of white teeth.
"Mm."
He nodded.
The girl with slanted ponytail took the two children by the hand and said goodbye to the man.
The uncle lazily watched the three of them walk away for a while.
Then he looked away.
He continued forward a few steps, then froze.
He stopped.
Ha...
Who had he seen?
The uncle couldn't help blinking hard.
Wasn't that...
The boy he had met once before?
He was also the culprit behind the first of the two times the uncle had been hit—the incident he had just told the girl with slanted ponytail about.
Wow.
The uncle smacked his lips.
What a coincidence.
Lately...
Why did he keep running into such coincidences?
Should he be happy?
It seemed...
There was no reason not to be happy?
But what was there to be happy about?
