"I'll pay for it for you."
Bombardment Scorch looked at the panicked girl and smiled helplessly. The problem she was worried about was not a problem at all.
"… Yes, yes, yes. I'll definitely return it to you tomorrow!"
Prunus nodded like she was pounding garlic. She could not run back to the dormitory from the cafeteria now. Xiong Ying's dormitory was separated from the school, and the distance was very far.
"Okay." Noticing her persistence, Bombardment Scorch smiled and walked to the daily menu in the cafeteria.
There were not many people in the Xiong Ying cafeteria now.
The dishes shown on the menu were all freshly made.
There was no sign of [sold out] at all.
It was very refreshing for him.
"There are so many dishes to choose from..."
Bai Jian, who also didn't eat so early, was also very touched. After looking through the menu, he said, "Thank you.
She looked at him with sparkling eyes and suddenly approached him. "And, there are so many choices for rice!"
"Well, yes." — Oh, really?
Do you like to eat rice?
But you're too close!
Being suddenly approached by the girl, the boy was a little startled and nodded reflexively.
Speaking of which, although he invited her on impulse, now that she approached him in such a hurry, the boy remembered another fact: he usually did not spend time alone with girls, so now...
He was a little nervous.
Bombardment Scorch awkwardly took a step back and carefully looked at her.
— Ah, ah, sure enough.
This girl is a little different from before.
Not to mention that the baby fat from before has disappeared.
Now Prunus has also made some progress in her figure.
She has grown taller and her whole body proportion has been stretched, making her look more girly than before.
And, more importantly... she now took off the old heavy black-rimmed glasses and wore corrective vision contact lenses. When he made eye contact with her, he was more direct.
And every time he met her clear red eyes, he would have an inexplicable … feeling of being hit directly.
Thinking of this, Bombardment Scorch awkwardly turned his head away and quickly pressed the menu he wanted. After paying with his meal card, he left. Prunus was confused for three seconds before he reacted and grabbed Zhang Heng with the fastest speed in his life, "Wait, you said you would pay for me!"
Jiao Leng subconsciously escaped because of nervousness: Ah, sorry …
"Why is Little Bombardment Scorch even more clueless than before?"
Bai Jian took back his meal card and ordered the pork chop rice that he had been looking forward to for a long time with a serious expression on his face as he muttered under his breath.
"It's all your fault for suddenly getting close." Bombardment Scorch frowned. What a scary guy.
"Hmm?
What did you just say? "Prunus blinked innocently.
"… Nothing." Bombardment Scorch was also very helpless.
…
After a series of twists and turns, he finally took his food and sat down. With a boom, he started eating dinner with Bai Jian.
Xiong Ying Cafeteria's chefs were all superheroes with personalities related to cooking, so the food they made was super delicious. Prunus ate with relish and said that next time, he must drag An Qiu to eat earlier.
As a second-year student, Bombardment Scorch was already used to it. Since he couldn't feel touched by the food, he turned his attention from the food to the apricot-colored girl in front of him.
He felt that the little girl in his memory suddenly became a size bigger and appeared in front of him.
Bombardment Scorch stared at the girl in front of him unscrupulously and suddenly said in a low voice, "… Hmm."
"Hmm?"
Prunus blinked her big and round eyes. Her expression was exactly the same as before. Whenever she encountered something that she was curious about, she would have the expression of a curious baby.
"Is your face hurt?" Bombardment Scorch's voice was wooden. His pair of heterochromatic eyes stared directly at her cheek.
Prunus tilted her head and reached out to touch her cheek. However, no matter how hard she touched it, she couldn't find the spot where Bombardment Scorch had found it. Seeing that she was getting more and more confused, Bombardment Scorch couldn't help but reach out his hand again.
He straightened up slightly from the table, reached out his hand to Prunus' face and touched her right eye.
It was an extremely long and thin wound. The bloodstain had already dried, so it wouldn't cause any pain even if it was touched like this.
After Bombardment Scorch's instruction, Prunus came to her senses and smiled softly, "Oh, that should be the injury from the indoor training just now. I almost forgot about it."
Bombardment Scorch was dissatisfied after hearing this, "You should treat it better."
Her reaction was too unusual. If his sister in his family hurt her face, wouldn't she wail for a few days?
Prunus blinked and smiled again, "It's okay. It will be fine in a few days."
"You are really …" Bombardment Scorch said helplessly, "At least put a band-aid on it."
"Hey, I feel that you are different from before."
Bai Jian was holding a spoon in her hand. She was surprised that Hong Jiao Jue was so concerned about others. In the past, he was indifferent to her.
Was it because he had joined Xiong Ying?
"Little Bombardment Scorch" seemed to be more reliable than before.
Bombardment Scorch stared at the girl in front of him helplessly.
"I'm going to be a heroine, so I can't be so delicate." Bai Jian lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth curved into a big arc. "I have to be strong." After that, she continued to finish the rice in front of her.
Bombardment Scorch, who heard her words, suddenly fell silent.
Because he remembered that she had said the same thing to him before. But at that time, there was a second half of the sentence: Mommy said this.
Bombardment Scorch's thoughts gradually returned to the past.
He remembered that since young, Prunus's balance was notoriously bad. So, tripping and bumping into things was a common occurrence.
Sometimes, she would appear in front of him with a wound. Once, he was so curious that he asked her, "Why don't you cry when you are injured?"
Obviously, most girls would cry and wail.
At that time, she replied, "I am going to be a heroine. I can't be so delicate. I have to be strong. Mommy said this."
"Mommy said this." That was her catchphrase.
…
Thinking of this, Bombardment Scorch felt even more uncomfortable because he had realized a fact: Just like the second half of the sentence that disappeared, Prunus had lost its mother.
The mother who had asked the talkative boy to apologize after causing trouble in Prunus.
The family that he had envied was no longer there.
Thinking of this, Bombardment Scorch suddenly felt that he really wanted to know what had happened to Prunus in the past few years. However, when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he realized that he could not ask the almond-colored girl such a direct question. In the end, all he could say was, "Prunus, how have you been?" He was really worried about her.
When Prunus Almond heard this, she raised her head and looked at the young man with a dumbfounded expression. She almost spat out the rice in her mouth, "I'm fine. Speaking of which … Little Bombardment Scorch, you are even more boring than before."
Bombardment Scorch felt wronged. Prunus was so direct that it hurt him.
He rubbed his forehead in annoyance and decided not to argue with the girl with a low EQ. He changed the focus of his question, "Actually, there is something that I am very concerned about."
Prunus still had a piece of pork chop in her mouth, so she nodded and gestured for Bombardment Scorch to continue asking.
"I remember that you used to be a person with no personality …" Bombardment Scorch looked down at the plate. He felt a little offended and awkward when he said this kind of question about personality, "Now, you have a personality, right?
What kind of personality do you have? "
Prunus was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and smiled, "Well, that sounds like a personality similar to the cement teacher. I can create clay and make it move."
As she said this, Prunus extended her right fist toward Bombardment Scorch, "Give me your hand!"
Bombardment Scorch confidently extended his hand and spread it under Prunus' fist.
Prunus smiled and put a ball of white stuff in Bombardment Scorch's hand. Bombardment Scorch was stunned. While he was puzzled, Prunus reached out and pinched the ball of white clay, poking it left and right, and made a bird.
Then, something magical happened. The clay bird in the shape of a bird actually flapped its wings from Bombardment Scorch's palm and flew up.
His eyes were full of amazement, and he praised, "What a special personality. Isn't it amazing?"
"Amazing?" Prunus touched the back of her head, a little embarrassed.
"Are you not happy?"
Noticing the slight change in her expression, Hong Jiao Leng asked straightforwardly. He had always been like this. If there was something he cared about, he would immediately ask.
"It's a great personality."
Prunus nodded, "But I wasn't very happy when I was awakened. I didn't want to be awakened."
Bombardment Scorch's expression gradually became serious, "Why?"
"Because I was awakened after my parents' accident. When I was awakened, I hated myself. Have you heard of Little Bombardment Scorch?
It's about the accident that happened to my parents. "Prunus said matter-of-factly.
Bombardment's expression froze, and he nodded expressionlessly. He wanted to ask her.
The smile on Prunus' face gradually faded. She reached out her hand and let the clay bird rest on her palm. Looking at the little bird in her hand, Prunus said the longest sentence she had ever said to Bombardment, "Sometimes I think that if I had awakened earlier, would I have been able to help my parents instead of being a burden?
If I wasn't so slow on this point, I might have been able to change that incident. "
Prunus had never told anyone about this. Today, she told Bombardment Scorch about it because Bombardment Scorch suddenly mentioned that she was originally a person with no personality.
He was one of the few "elementary school classmates" and "kindergarten classmates" who knew that she was originally a person with no personality.
… She thought that perhaps only Bombardment Scorch could understand her regret.
Bai Jian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart after he finished talking about these miscellaneous matters.
But as her mother said, she couldn't be so delicate. So next, she had to grasp this hard-earned personality and learn it well. Then, she would become a hero who could stand on her own. After that, she would …
Prunus' red eyes were full of serious determination.
…
Bombardment Scorch saw the determination on Prunus' face and smiled.
— Well, although so many years had passed, she was still so hardworking.
"Bai Jian, if there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to tell me." Noticing this, Hong Jiao Leng spoke so warmly to Bai Jian, a rare sight in his life.
Prunus was still merciless in this regard. Her tone was full of sincere curiosity, "Well, although I'm very grateful, but … Little Bombardment Scorch, are you such a person?"
Bombardment Scorch's face darkened, "What kind of a bastard was I in your eyes?"
Speaking of this, Prunus happily recounted all the things that happened to him in the past, "He always said with a straight face that I was stupid, that I didn't know how to do this, and that I didn't know how to do anything. In short, he was a very cold person!
By the way, especially since the second grade, Little Bombardment Scorch looked even more awkward. "
"Isn't that because …" Bombardment Scorch felt wronged. He wanted to explain that he was already very good to her at that time, but when he was about to say it, he was defeated by the excited expression on her face.
— He couldn't tell her that he had a little bit of affection for her at that time, right?
