…
He didn't know if it was because of the graduation photo that Hong still had lingering fears, but in any case, it was at the beginning.
At first, he was against the idea of being Prunus' deskmate.
At that time, he was only six years old. The arrogant Bombardment Scorch did not like many things in Prunus.
He did not like her habit of reading and writing.
He did not like her being unable to answer simple math questions. He did not like her falling down while running in PE class.
He did not like her not being able to remember the names of the two classmates sitting in front of her … and her soft bun personality that would still smile when she was bullied.
"They say that about you.
Aren't you angry? "
Bombardment Scorch asked her helplessly after a boy in the class mocked her for not being able to read despite wearing thick glasses.
"But Little Bombardment Scorch, I'm really stupid."
My brain is really stupid. "She always explained to him so cautiously, as if Hong Jellyfish had really said something wrong.
"I said you … No, forget it."
Forget it. "He didn't know how to describe her.
"And my parents said that it's not right to quarrel with people.
Even if I have dyslexia, I can still learn. "
If you work hard, you can still learn it. Mommy told me that. "Bai Jian looked at Hong Jiao Leng with a helpless expression.
Then he explained with a straight face.
"Dyslexia?" Bombardment Scorch was a little confused.
"Yes."
Bai Jian answered in a low voice. She accidentally put her face on the book again. Every time she did this, Lin Sanjiu would feel embarrassed.
Hong could not help but separate her from the book and reminded her impatiently, "That's not right, right?
You have to change your glasses again in less than a month. "
"Oh, I'm sorry.
I did it again.
Because I can't see the word clearly. "Prunus's small face was full of confusion.
She frowned with grievance.
"Which one?
Let me have a look. "Hong naturally took the book from her hands … Yes.
Although he did not like many things about her at first,
But when he noticed it, he was already used to watching her work hard and helping her from the side.
"This math problem is not calculated like this."
"Look carefully. How did you write '7' as' 1 '?"
"You wrote the wrong Chinese character again."
Bombardment Scorch even became Prunus' translator.
Hong Jiaodong had been very smart since he was a child. His comprehension speed was much faster than other children of his age. Therefore, while other children were still learning in a daze and Bai Jian was making mistakes in her studies, he was already able to draw inferences from one example and find the parts that Bai Jian would definitely be confused about from the learning content. He would remind her before she opened her mouth to ask.
"Be careful, don't go left and right again."
"This is Q, not O. Look carefully. The second letter is u, right?
"Q" should be followed by "U."
"Hey, this is not how you pronounce it."
"It's not like that. You are really …" Before he could say the word stupid, Bombardment Scorch was stopped by Prunus trying to read the book. He thought that she was not stupid. She was just a little different from other children.
"Thank you, Little Bombardment Scorch."
She always frowned and held her glasses. Her fingers were glued to the book seriously, reading word by word.
Every time this happened, Hong Jiao Leng would feel angry and amused at the same time. She would reach out and hit her waist. "The teacher said that your reading posture is wrong."
"Yes, yes." She hurriedly straightened her back and stared at the picture book with a frown, "I accidentally did it again."
Bombardment Scorch was very helpless. He thought that she was very funny. She was reading a fairy tale book as if she was reading a dictionary. Could she really understand the story inside?
Why did she look like she was reading a children's book with such a difficult expression?
— Seeing her like this every day, it was really fun to go to school.
"Hong!
Go to the playground to play ball — "
"Oh!
I'm coming. "
Hearing his friends calling him, Bombardment Scorch got up from his seat. He left the classroom without saying goodbye to Prunus and went to play ball with his friends. When Prunus was fascinated by the book and wanted to ask Hong some questions, Hong was already gone.
Prunus touched her head, blinked, and continued to read her book. But Hong did not come back. She unconsciously put her face on the book again.
…
Yes, the relationship between the two was like this at the beginning.
Since the graduation photo incident, there was an inexplicable awkwardness between the two. After getting along with each other day and night, there was a faint bond between the two.
When Hong was in a good mood, he would teach her. When he was in a bad mood, or when there was something more attractive, he would very naturally leave the slow-tempered deskmate alone.
He was born into a prestigious family and had an excellent personality, so he was always the center of attention and was welcomed by the children. All of this gave him a kind of cold arrogance. Therefore, to him, Bai Jian's matters were just dispensable. Occasionally, it would add some entertainment to his daily life. He would never think about her matters. Anyway, he was very busy every day and had no time to think about Bai Jian's matters.
Hong's impression of Prunus changed from a slow-tempered girl to a girl after he got the scar.
Everyone knew that at that time, Hong's mother had poured boiling hot water on his face because of the conflict between his parents. Because of this incident, his left cheek was burned. He had to wear a bandage for two weeks. After the bandage was removed, there was an indelible deep red scar on his face.
Perhaps the things that happened to his family had spread to his classmates, or maybe the scar on his face simply scared the people around him. The children in his class, who were always around him, unconsciously looked at him with disdain. Some of the boys who secretly disliked him in the past even started to make trouble for him.
Because of these rubbish things, he was in a bad mood for a period of time. He was annoyed by everything he saw. During this period, Prunus was the only one who got along with him like a normal person. But of course, he was annoyed by his own things, so he did not have the energy to teach her those childish books.
"Little Bombardment Scorch. How do you pronounce this word?"
"I don't know."
Hong Jiao Leng didn't even look at it. He didn't want to answer Bai Jian's childish question, so he left his seat in annoyance. However, he realized that no matter where he went, his classmates would avoid him. "Monster", "Ugly", "Funny Face", and so on. It was as if no matter where he went, he could see his mother's disdainful and panicked expression on her face … One by one, the faces of his classmates reappeared.
"Tsk."
Bang Jiao Leng smacked his lips and put his hands in his pockets. He walked out of the classroom with a very unhappy expression. He didn't care about those noisy students at all.
"Hong, the scar on your face is really ugly!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Be careful that Hong will beat you up. He is Andwa's son."
"Boring."
Bombardment Scorch stared coldly at the two kids in front of him and walked past them to the boys' room.
…
The incident seemed to have happened during this time.
Hong did not know what exactly happened. He only knew that when he came back from the bathroom, Prunus was pressed to the ground by the talkative boy. Her heavy glasses were knocked out of her eyes. He thought that she probably could not see clearly after losing her glasses, but her hands were still firmly grasping the boy's hand.
According to the other students, Prunus went up to talk to the boy, but they seemed to be unable to communicate. The boy was annoyed and pushed Prunus. The next moment, the two of them started to fight.
Bombardment Scorch was a little surprised. Prunus was like that?
"… Let me go!
You idiot! "
The boy who deliberately walked up to Bombardment Scorch to mock him anxiously pushed Prunus' face. Prunus did not know what to do. She reached out to grab the boy's arm and bit him hard.
"It hurts!
You idiot! "
The boy kept knocking on Bai Jian's head. Hong Jiao Leng didn't realize what was going on until this moment. Why did that idiot fight with others?
Didn't he say that he was a pacifist?
Didn't he say that he could not fight with his parents?
After being knocked on the head by the boy, Bai Jian finally let out a sigh of relief. However, before the others could separate them, she crawled over and pinched the boy's face again. Perhaps it was because she couldn't see clearly, even her gesture of waving her hand was very vague.
"… You are not allowed to bully Little Bombardment Scorch!" She said so, her tone was very angry and aggrieved.
Bombardment Scorch was about to move forward when he stopped.
So the reason why Prunus fought with the boy was because of him?
…
After such a big incident, it was natural that their homeroom teacher had to mediate the incident. Bombardment Scorch remembered that day, he desperately hid in the corner of the corridor and waited for Prunus' parents to come. He wanted to tell Prunus' parents — please don't blame Prunus. She only violated the agreement because of him.
Besides, Prunus, who had no personality, was at a disadvantage when fighting with a child with personality. Although the boy had a bite mark on his hand and a few scratches on his face, Prunus' glasses were broken, her head was swollen, and her favorite sweater was dirty …
All in all, Bombardment Scorch felt that Prunus was at a disadvantage.
…
"… Teacher, Almond is usually a very gentle child. He would never quarrel with other children, let alone fight back. Could it be that the child over there did something?"
It was Prunus' mother, the famous "Smoke Lady" on TV. At this moment, she showed up at school to receive ideological counseling with Prunus. The other boy had already received it. His parents' working hours were more flexible than Prunus' parents', so he came to school earlier than Prunus' mother.
"… Mommy, that child bullied Little Bombardment Scorch."
Prunus, whose glasses were crooked, reached out to tug at her mother's skirt and said with an aggrieved face. Speaking of this, Prunus did not know the boy's name. She only knew that he had been pestering Bombardment Scorch recently.
"Little Bombardment Scorch?
Is that the child you always tell me about? "
Prunus' mother realized that it was the deskmate who often taught her. She sighed helplessly, "That child is very pitiful … By the way, teacher, don't you think that there's something wrong with the students in the class?
If you let the children treat their classmates like this at this stage, they won't change when they grow up. "
"… But Mrs. Prunus, fighting is always wrong."
"Yes, I will ask my daughter to avoid such behavior, and I will ask her to apologize for hitting the child. But that boy also has to apologize to Bombardment Scorch."
Prunus listened to her mother's words. She did not understand, but she still nodded seriously. Yes, there was such a thing.
The homeroom teacher looked troubled. Facing the determined woman, he did not know how to continue. He could only frown and say, "Mrs. Prunus is right. You can go back now. I will be more careful in the future."
Prunus' mother's expression softened. She looked at her daughter and led her out of the classroom.
…
In the corridor.
"… Almond, do you think that child over there is your classmate?"
Prunus' mother had been holding Prunus' hand. Her pair of red eyes, which were the same as Prunus', looked faintly at the corner. Since the beginning of the meeting, she had been feeling that someone was hiding there. She thought that the person might have something to say to Almond.
Prunus blinked and let go of Mrs. Prunus' hand, "… I'll go and take a look."
After that, she walked to the corner and found Bombardment Scorch, who had been squatting and eavesdropping since the beginning.
Being discovered by the dumbstruck Bai Jian, for some reason, Hong Jiao Leng felt a moment of awkwardness and anxiousness. He stood up and planned to rebuke her as usual, but when he saw the scars on the girl's face, many of the words of reprimand were forcibly swallowed back down.
"… What are you doing here?" Prunus raised her eyebrows and looked at him strangely.
Bombardment Scorch felt a little helpless. Wasn't it obvious that he was waiting for her to come out?
However, he knew that if he did not explain it properly, the idiot in front of him would not understand. With that thought in mind, he opened his mouth and asked, "… Did the teacher make things difficult for you?"
"No," Prunus blinked and answered matter-of-factly, "My mommy is amazing."
Bombardment Scorch felt a little helpless. What did this have to do with her mommy being amazing?
But when it came to her mommy, Bombardment Scorch was a little confused, "Didn't you say that I can't fight with others?"
Prunus suddenly understood why Bombardment Scorch was so hesitant. Thinking of this, Prunus walked closer to Bombardment Scorch and deliberately looked around to see if there was anyone around. She waved her hand and asked him to put his ear closer. She looked like she wanted to whisper something to him.
"… Well, mommy told me that if I really meet a bad person, I can fight back."
Prunus carefully made a fist with her hand and said with a serious face, "Mommy also taught me how to fight. Mommy said that if something happened, she would help me talk to the teacher."
Bombardment Scorch did not know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of hidden version of family teachings was this?
But he could not help but sigh, "… Your mommy is so nice."
Prunus had a family that he was very envious of. He also understood why Prunus had such a stubborn personality.
"… Really?
I like mommy so much. When I grow up, I want to be a hero like mommy. "Prunus smiled, her red eyes were dyed a warm orange-red by the setting sun. It was very beautiful.
…
"Almond, it's time to send you back. I still have work to do tonight!" The smoke lady looked at her watch and urged.
"Got it, mommy."
Prunus came back to her senses and smiled at Bombardment Scorch, "See you tomorrow, Little Bombardment Scorch. It's very late today."
Bombardment Scorch was stunned. So, she really did not know that he was waiting for her?
Bombardment Scorch looked at the small white figure disappear at the end of the corridor and sighed helplessly. Forget it, he was almost used to that idiot's way of thinking.
From that day onwards, Prunus completely changed his view of her. He even had to admit that every time he saw her, he would feel a little embarrassed and anxious. He would also feel jealous when others talked to her.
He thought that he must have fallen in love with Prunus. But, he did not dare to show it in front of her. He only dared to teach her patiently like before. After such a big fight, no one in class dared to laugh at him. Their days returned to their original peaceful state.
He noticed that they were already in the second grade. They were still in the same class, but they were no longer deskmates. Bai Jian, who had been promoted to the second grade, looked even more depressed than usual. She even asked him several times, "Can I not be a hero because I have no personality?"
At that time, he actually wanted to tell her that she could be a hero. But, before Bombardment Scorch succeeded in encouraging her, she had already transferred to another school.
It was also later that he heard from his classmates that Prunus's parents were involved in an indiscriminate killing and were both killed.
Bai Jian, who survived, was sent to a distant relative's home.
He had no choice but to know what happened to her after that.
...
×××
Knife-cutting frowned. Could it be that he was wrong about the horse riding battle?
Destroying Prunus's clay would not cause an explosion?
Knife-cutting's mind flashed for a moment. Seeing that the clay bird's last wing was about to be completed, he immediately rushed to where Prunus was. But he did not expect that as he took a step, Prunus would make five clay needles from the palm of her hand and throw them in the direction of Knife-cutting.
Knife-cutting dodged backward, but was surprised to find that Prunus's target was not him, but the small clay animal on the ground that he had stabbed!
A trace of confusion flashed through his mind, but in the next second, he understood and hurriedly raised his hand in a defensive posture.
"Boom —!"
Almost at the same time that Knife-cutting raised his hand and the needles thrown by Prunus pierced into the clay animal's "corpse," the clay exploded. A series of "boom" sounded in front of Knife-cutting, and because five clay needles exploded at the same time this time, the scale of the explosion was far more powerful than the one during the horse riding battle!
Knife-cutting dodged with a somersault and stabbed his sword into the ground to stabilize his body. Prunus, who had already anticipated the explosion, did not waste the opportunity of Knife-cutting's buffer. Taking advantage of the smoke, it rushed to the clay bird's vicinity and injected the last "material" into the clay bird. Although it took a lot of time, the bird was finally completed. The giant clay bird flapped its wings, made a sound, and flapped its wings to fly into the air.
"... Tsk!"
After the smoke dispersed, Knife-cutting, who had been blown up, looked at the giant clay bird flying in the air unwillingly and complained to Prunus, "You didn't tell me that your clay could explode!"
"Even so, you still dodged it!"
Prunus did not reply. She just frowned. Knife-cutting was really difficult to deal with. She really did not expect him to react at that moment and make a defensive gesture in an instant...
Prunus looked up at the bird hovering in the air and reached out to make a knife similar to Knife-cutting. Before the clay bird was completely "ready," she had to buy some time!
With this thought, Prunus slowly took a few steps back and distanced herself from Knife-cutting.
