Loneliness Is When You're Not By My Side (3)

Elementary school students were carrying school bags, coming out one after another, waiting for their parents at the gate.1

"Jiajia, don't go home so early today, alright? I'll take you to check out something nice."

A little boy tugged on the schoolbag of the little girl in front of him.

"What nice thing? But… My mother's waiting for me outside…" The little girl seemed like she wanted to go with him. She glanced at the school gate and stopped walking.

She saw her mother. Startled, the little boy pulled her to one side to hide from her.

The little boy said, "Let's go out through the back gate, shall we? The place I'm taking you to is near our school. It'll just take a few minutes and we'll go back to the main gate so you can tell your mother that you were staying in the classroom to clean up. That'll work, right? So are you coming?"

"Well…" The little girl was excited, looked at him hesitantly, and finally nodded. "Okay!"

The two were held hands and crouched down to avoid people seeing them as they ran sneakily down a certain path.

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned about as she thought of something and she followed them quietly.

Because there were many people coming and going, the two elementary school students didn't notice her following at all.

There were also students at the back gate, but there were fewer of them.

The two elementary school students went out of the school successfully and walked down the street.

"It's just up ahead!"

After following them for a few minutes, Mu Xiaoxiao saw the two of them enter a store.

Looking up, it turned out to be a pet shop.

"Wow, it's so cute! It's so cute!" A little girl was heard exclaiming from inside the shop.

Mu Xiaoxiao stood at the door and looked at them both.

The two elementary school students were smiling cheerfully as they played with a snowy white Samoyed. The puppy looked very small, perhaps only one month old.

"I knew you would like it!" The little boy smiled delightedly.

Meow ~

Suddenly, there was a little voice.

Mu Xiaoxiao turned and her gaze fell upon a basket placed at the door.

Inside, there was a kitten that looked very cute and it was scratching the iron rod with its small paw. Enticed, Mu Xiaoxiao walked over and squatted in front of the kitten.

"Hello, are you alone?" she said to the kitten, her eyes suddenly turning red.

"Meow ~" The kitten seemed to be answering her.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt her eyes become wet and tears slipped down from the corner of her eye.

She wiped the tears at the corner of her eye with her finger. Her anxious heart was warmed because of this kitten. She placed her hand on the kitten, trying to hold its paw, but the kitten staggered, and fell back. It looked a little pitiful, but it was still extremely cute.

"Little kitty, if I find Yin Shaojie today, I'll take you home, okay?"

"Meow ~"

The kitten's eyes were black like pearls. This reminded her of Yin Shaojie's eyes.

Mu Xiaoxiao was only seeking solace because she was feeling very lost and needed something to guide her.

"Can you tell me where Yin Shaojie is?"

"Meow~. Meow~"

The kitten turned its head to the right and its small paws clawed at the ground.

"Over there? Are you sure?" Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have seen a glimpse of hope.
