Chapter 24: But You Didn't

Seeing Tang Xiaoxiang's frowning expression, not only did Jiang Lao think that Tang Xiaoxiang would lose, but even Xiao Lingxue and Milo were nervous at this time, looking very worried.

"It's over! Looking at Tang Tang's expression, he is going to lose! What should he do! If he loses, he will kneel down for that old devil!" Milo said as he shook Xiao Lingxue's arm.

"It's all at this time, what else can I do!I'll go and ask Jiang Lao for the phone number of the plastic surgeon in a while! No, let's change my face!" Xiao Lingxue looked coldly at Xiao Mo who was still holding a selfie stick.

I blame her for what she did!

Xiao Mo held up the selfie stick awkwardly at this time! She said, this question is not so easy to come out, but the result made her right, once Tang Xiaoxiang can't do it, someone will definitely complain about her, the questioner!

"Grandpa, is that old devil's poem really so good?" said Jiang Lao's granddaughter in a whisper to Jiang Lao, whose face was complicated.

"Hey, I can't say how good the poem is, but it's very difficult to write such a poem that closely follows the theme of anti-war in such a short time!" Jiang Lao said with a sigh.

"Then Tang Xiaoxiang can't do it?" asked the old granddaughter Jiang.

"Hey, age is a hard injury, Xiaoxiang has never experienced the war era, how can he write anti-war poems with profound connotations!" Jiang Lao said.

"If you think about it for a while, you'll always make a similar song!" said Jiang's granddaughter softly.

"Hey, do you think the old devil is going to give him a lot of time?"

As soon as Jiang Lao finished saying this, sure enough, Matsutsu next time Goro spoke:

"Boy, mine is done! It's your turn, you don't want to say that you're not done! I've given you enough time! No, you just throw in the towel!"

After speaking, he learned Tang Xiaoxiang's tone before and said: "After you kneel, I will go back to rest early, it is not easy for me to be so old on a hot day!"

"Hahaha!"

Matsujigoro felt that all the anger he had suffered before had a chance to vent at this moment! He laughed wildly, and the people of the Great Nippon who had returned to him, such as Kurokawa-kun, also laughed.

Looking at the group of laughing devils in front of him, Tang Xiaoxiang said in his heart that he was very helpless! Who gave them the confidence to think that they had won! Could it be that the broken poem just now?

Tang Xiaoxiang, who has the blessing of the entire planet's civilization and system functions, pouted and said:

"Are you doing a doomsday revelry? Can I disturb you! I'm going to recite my poems too!"

The scene fell silent instantly!

"Are you ready?" Matsushiro said in surprise as he leaned on Tang Xiaoxiang.

"It's already done! I saw you so happy just now, I didn't want to disturb you!" Tang Xiaoxiang said with a smile.

"What! how is this possible!" Matsushiro said in disbelief.

"Grandpa, did you hear that?" Tang Xiaoxiang said he had made it!" Jiang Lao's granddaughter said excitedly shaking Jiang Lao's arm.

"I heard it, I heard it! I didn't expect him to be able to make a poem in such a short time, but if the quality is not good, then he will still lose!" Jiang Lao's words were like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished his granddaughter's joyful mood. And everyone who heard Jiang's old words also fell silent.

But Panasonic, who also heard the old man's words, was relieved in his heart, thinking to himself, yes, time is so tight, Tang Xiaoxiang has no experience in the war era, how can he make a good anti-war poem in a hurry!

As if to confirm Matsushigoro's thoughts, Tang Xiaoxiang slowly recited his anti-war poem:

"Remember the day, I borrowed your new car and I crashed into it

I thought you were going to kill me

But you don't"

Hearing this passage recited by Tang Xiaoxiang, everyone was stunned! What is this written? How can this have a hint of war? Could it be that Tang Xiaoxiang intends to give up on himself?

Tang Xiaoxiang didn't care about everyone's thoughts, he paused a little and then recited:

"I remember the day I dragged you to the beach, and it rained as you said

I thought you were going to say "I told you"

But you don't

I remember the day I vomited strawberry pie all over your new carpet

I thought you would be disgusted with me

But you don't"

Hearing this, Matsushigoro was overjoyed, "This is a bit off-topic! It seems that this kid can't make an anti-war poem, so he plans to write a random poem to deal with!"

Tang Xiaoxiang still paused, and then continued to recite in a calm tone:

"I remember that day, I flirted with all the men to make you jealous, and you were really jealous

I thought you would leave me

But you don't

I remember the day I forgot to tell you that the prom was for a dress and you were wearing jeans

I thought you were going to abandon me

But you don't"

Hearing this, Jiang Laodu shook his head helplessly, this poem is off-topic, and there is not a trace of a sentence related to the war. He sighed and said in a low voice: "Hey! It seems that this question has put too much pressure on Xiaoxiang! I hope he won't be depressed after today!"

The others didn't think about it so much, they just think that this Tang Xiaoxiang is crazy now, there is no distinction between men and women? Or is he going to announce his coming out through this poem? Is this the rhythm of letting go of himself?

In everyone's regretful and slightly ambiguous eyes, Tang Xiaoxiang's recitation tone became low:

"Yes, there are many things that you have not done, and you have tolerated me, loved me, and protected me

There are many, many things I want to repay you, waiting for you to return from the battlefield

But you didn't...."

A series of but you didn't, finally broke out in the last sentence!

The crowd that had been talking a lot just now instantly became quiet!

Xiao Mo, who was holding a selfie stick, let go of his hand and let the phone fall to the ground...

Milo grabbed Xiao Lingxue's arm, but Xiao Lingxue didn't react...

Jiang Lao's granddaughter covered her mouth tightly with one hand, tears were already brewing in her eyes...

Jiang Lao looked at Tang Xiaoxiang in disbelief and muttered, "This poem, this poem!"

And when Matsushigoro heard Tang Xiaoxiang's last poem, it was as if he was struck by lightning, and the expression of ridicule a second ago was frozen on his face, and he sat on the ground weakly!

At this moment, time and space seem to freeze...

"Whew!" Tang Xiaoxiang exhaled, the poem he just recited was called "But You Didn't" The author was not a poet, but an ordinary American woman whose husband was conscripted into the battlefield in Vietnam and later died in battle. She remained widowed for life until she died of old age and illness. While sorting through her belongings, her daughter found this poem her mother had written to her father that year.

In order to conform to the history of this world, Tang Xiaoxiang only changed the last sentence of the original poem waiting for you to come back from Vietnam to waiting for you to return from the battlefield, and he did not make any changes elsewhere.

Because, based on this last paragraph alone, this poem is the best anti-war poem he thinks, and there is no one!
