Gong Chip didn't expect that the impression of his childhood in the eyes of this little girl turned out to be a-

Little mute?

He was slightly stunned and silent.

But Zuo Mian seemed to be unable to hold back his memories, and forcibly overlapped Gong Chip with the little mute boy when he was a child.

"At that time, the little boy who stood at the door of Grandma Gong's house and stared at me every day, was that you?"

“……”

"I didn't know that you were Grandma Gong's own grandson, and I thought you were also a child who went to Grandma Gong's house to enjoy the shade."

“……”

"You wore a mask every day on a hot day, didn't you? Am I not mistaken? ”

Gong Chip listened to Zuo Mian tell the details sentence by sentence, and the heat in his heart became even stronger.

It turned out that she remembered all of this.

"Well, if you remember correctly, that's me." Gong Chip nodded softly with a soft look in his eyes.

"Ah, we met so early, I didn't expect to meet again when we grew up, what a coincidence, hehe."

A smile suddenly bloomed on Zuo Mian's face, like a sunflower under the sun.

The girl's eyelashes are curled, and her eyes turn into beautiful crescents.

She has always felt that it is a gift from God to be able to meet the person she had been in contact with in the old days after a few tosses and turns in the vast sea of people.

There used to be so many children in the village, and in the end, everyone went their separate ways, and no one knew what they were like now.

I just met Gong Chip.

This is not a gift, but a handover of fate.

"You...... Know I was looking at you at the time? Gong Chip hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

That summer, he did stare at the little girl every day.

Look at her sitting quietly at the door of her grandmother, holding a book, and being well-behaved.

Look at her palm-sized little face and cute pigtails.

Look at her little mouth that purses slightly as she looks down in thought.

And the serious gesture of her putting her legs together.

Every gesture makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Gong Chip thought that the other party was distracted, and he wouldn't notice that someone was looking at her at all.

I didn't expect her to know everything.

was found by the person concerned staring at each other, Gong Chip was slightly embarrassed in his heart, but it was rare to show a bewildered expression.

"yes, of course I know you're watching me." Zuo Mian is definitely authentic.

Then he continued: "You stare at the snacks in my pocket every day, and there have been times when I can't sit still and want to give you the snacks directly. ”

"I thought to myself, if you ask me for it, I'll share it with you right away."

"But after waiting for many days, you just stared, just didn't open your mouth to ask me, I felt at that time that you must be a little mute and couldn't speak."

Gong Chip: "...... I'm sorry, I can't really speak, but I'm not dumb.

"So after knowing that you are a little mute, I finally couldn't help but take the initiative to give you my last little snack, I forgot what I was given, you just said...... Is it rainbow candy? ”

"Hmmm......"

"And is the candy I gave you delicious? Sweet or not? ”

There seemed to be a whole star shining in the girl's eyes at this moment, and when he tilted his head to look at Gong Chip, his breathing was slightly disturbed.

He looked at the girl's expectant eyes and a shallow smile.

Suddenly, he laughed: "It's very sweet, it's the best sugar I've ever tasted." ”

It was clear that the candy had not had time to taste it, so it melted away.

But Gong Chip just felt that the candy must be very sweet, just like the girl herself.

……

Subsequently, the two wandered back to reminisce about their childhood in Yu County.
