Zhang Zian put away his mischievous heart and lightly patted Little Celery on the shoulder.

"Little Celery, good morning."

Even so, Little Celery was still startled, she jumped up with a small wow, her eyes widened, she looked at the person behind her warily, and after recognizing Zhang Zian, she let out a sigh of relief.

"What, it turned out to be the brother of the store manager, which surprised me." She stroked her chest and said.

"Haha, Little Celery looked so funny just now, how about doing it again next time?" Zhang Zian joked with her.

"Don't do it!" Little Celery thought it was true, waving her two little arms, and said anxiously, "Brother the store manager is an adult, don't bully children!"

Being called an adult by her, Zhang Zi'an felt that his image was tall and lofty. He couldn't hold his head up in front of all the elves in the store, and he finally became proud and turned himself into the master.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you." He smiled, "Little Celery seems to be very scared, doesn't she dare to watch horror movies?"

"I hate horror movies the most!" Little Celery's complexion changed. "Some boys in school are very annoying. Sometimes they will scare us with horror movies during recess!"

Boys of this age are just at the age when they are not afraid of the sky and the earth. When they get naughty, they even dare to pull out a few of the Taishang Laojun's beard. Zhang Zian recalled that when he was a child, although there were no electronic devices such as mobile phones, some boys would catch caterpillars or beetles from outside to scare girls. At that time, Zhang Zian was relatively honest, neither would follow the boys to do such things, nor did he have the courage to stand up for the girls.

"Is that so... Did you tell the teacher?" He asked.

"I told the teacher, and the teacher confiscated their mobile phones and asked their parents to pick them up, and then they said that I was a snitch..." Little Celery said aggrievedly.

Zhang Zian sympathized with Little Celery, and comforted him: "It's okay, Little Celery did the right thing, let them talk whatever they want."

Having said that, he also knew that Little Celery was far from being flattered or humiliated, and even he couldn't achieve this kind of saint's state of mind, so the effect of this consolation was very limited.

Little Celery still nodded, with a slight smile on her face, "My mother said so too."

"That's right, that's what mature adults say. You don't have to care about what your classmates say." Zhang Zian agreed.

"Well, I see." She nodded obediently.

"So, will Xiao Celery come to the store today to feed Xiaoling and her ears?" He asked while walking with a foam insulation box under his arm. In fact, this is nothing to say, because he expected to get an affirmative answer.

"Well... today... let's forget about today..."

However, unexpectedly, Xiao Celery refused. She lowered her head, kicking stones while walking like a little boy, her tone seemed confused and embarrassed.

Huh? The real problem actually lies here?

Zhang Zian became serious and asked, "Did something happen? Your mother didn't let you come?"

If Xiao Celery's mother doesn't let her come to the store, no matter what the reason is, Zhang Zian will respect her mother's opinion. He didn't want to affect their mother and daughter's relationship because of his love for pets.

"It's not my mother...it's..." She hesitated, probably hesitating whether to say it or not.

"Is it convenient to say?" Zhang Zian was confident when he heard that it wasn't her mother. As long as it's not her close relative, why not let her come to the pet shop?

"It's my classmates..." She raised her small face slightly and said aggrievedly: "I told my classmates at school that the little bell and ears in the shop manager's brother's house can talk, and they didn't believe it, and they laughed at me for being a fool ..."

"Uh……"

Zhang Zian didn't expect this to happen, secretly calling himself a miscalculation. Children of this age have no intentions.

Especially for an innocent child like Xiao Celery, who has good things and never hides them, and always wants to share them with everyone, so it is reasonable for her to tell her classmates that the hamster talks to the lop-eared rabbit. What she did was right, absolutely right, the mistake was that Zhang Zian didn't remind her with the scheming unique to an adult, not to tell other people about the hamster talking to the lop-eared rabbit.

Zhang Zian couldn't blame Xinghai for doing good deeds, and he couldn't blame Little Celery for talking too much because of her innocence. During the growth of children, the words and deeds of adults will affect them subtly, because children are really a kind of creatures that are very good at observing and imitating. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, if parents and adults fail to set an example, it will only take a few minutes for the child to learn to be bad, or become smooth and sophisticated in advance.

Similarly, Zhang Zian couldn't blame Richard either. Is it wrong that he told a little lie, and Richard spoke instead of Hamster and Lop, helping him out? That's right.

No one is wrong, Zhang Zian can only blame Zhang Zian for not thinking carefully, not considering the possibility of Xiao Celery revealing to others. But even if he reminded Little Celery not to tell anyone else, it might be difficult, after all, children's mouths are not very strict, and besides, should she even keep it from her mother?

Little Celery stood with her head down and her hands down, staring at the tip of her shoe, as if she had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment.

Zhang Zian stared at the pair of braids that moved periodically on the back of Little Celery's head. This was carefully designed by her mother for her daughter. Perhaps only those who really cared about Little Celery could notice it. He believes that Xiao Celery's mother loves her daughter wholeheartedly, and he will not do anything that may affect their mother-daughter relationship, no matter how small the possibility is. This is the principle and the bottom line.

Therefore, even if the time comes back, he can't tell her the hidden words.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Little Celery quietly raised her head to glance at him, then lowered her head uneasily, even lower than before. She had never seen the store manager's brother showing such a distressed expression, and she couldn't help but feel panic and fear. It must be because she had done something wrong, and the store manager's brother, who always had a kind face on his face, would be sad and angry at any time. If the manager's brother loses his temper, will he drive her away and never let her play with Xiaoling and Ear again?

She rubbed the toes of her shoes up and down anxiously, tears pooled in her eyes, her vision became blurred, and she might cry at any time.

Zhang Zian was really depressed, he was facing two diametrically opposite paths. One way is to confess to her that you lied to her, tell her that your classmates are right, that hamsters and lop rabbits can't talk, and that you just made a joke with her before. This path is very simple, you can easily shirk responsibility, just kidding, who said you can't joke with children?

However, the little celery may lose trust in adults due to this.

Zhang Zian could only choose another difficult path.
