Since it's something related to her, it doesn't matter if you listen to it.

Thinking of this, Shiina Mahaku showed a natural look on her face, and obediently stood to the side, ready to continue listening.

"That's right, the reason why I don't continue to paint is because of Mashiro, but I'm not the only one, there are many people who have given up painting because of Mashiro. ”

Rita laughed at herself, she remembered the days again, and now it still makes people feel so painful when she thinks about it, but now that she has a listener, she is still willing to speak out and tell the other party, but when she speaks, it seems that she is talking to herself: "The children in Grandpa Mashiro's studio are different from the innocent children in the painting classrooms outside. ”

"These children have always thought that they are special, after all, if they are not special, they will not be able to enter Grandpa Mashiro's studio, which is like a holy place in the art world, and those who can enter are the pride of the sky. ”

"It may be a bit inappropriate to say that, but I used to be a member of it, and I was very good, because I have been drawing since I was sensible, and for me painting is the future, and no matter what I paint, my parents and grandpa will praise me. I was so happy to hear their compliments, and I practiced painting desperately in order to draw better, and kept drawing just to get their compliments. ”

Speaking of this, the expression on Rita's face began to become a little terrifying, and she said word by word in a cold voice: " But,All this has started to change little by little since Mahaku came.,That's right.,It's all different.,Mom and Dad and Grandpa too.,They are all obsessed with Mahaku's talents.,Everything else is completely out of sight.,And I'm just one of them who doesn't get in the eyes.,So I started to keep looking for Mahaku to compete.,I didn't give up when I kept failing.,Just to be able to win that Shiina Mahaku once.,To be able to make my family notice me again.。 ”

"I don't know how many times I failed, but I didn't give up, but one day my grandfather and my parents told me to forget it, because I couldn't win Mahaku, so it was okay, and it didn't make sense to continue drawing, so forget it! That is to say, I was not a child who was needed, so I was given up like this. ”

"The result is this, there is no surprise, and the reality presented in front of you is very cruel, because everyone is like waste in front of Mahaku.

However, in a world of comparative talent like the art world, all of this is taken for granted.

That's right, it's a matter of course, the law of the jungle is the same everywhere, and waste will be eliminated by the strong.

If you want to become a real artist, you will inevitably eliminate many people, and use these people as a stepping stone to keep moving forward.

But our situation at that time was a little different, because of the existence of Mashiro. ”

"No matter how hard we try, we can't become the same as Mashiro, we can't compare to her at all, Mashiro is always so dazzling, Mashiro's eyes don't look at us at all, Mashiro easily destroys us children who gather in the studio just for painting with invisible weapons, and ravages the dreams and hopes of all our peers who aspire to be painters as painlessly as now, never showing a trace of guilt. ”

"And as long as you look at the white painting, you will feel that the world in which all of us exist is different from her, and it makes people feel what real talent is, and incompetent people are fakes.

It's like laughing at us, incompetent people can't succeed no matter what, even if they try their best, they can't see the shadow of Mahaku, and even Mahaku has never looked at anyone in his paintings! This is the biggest insult to us as painters!"

"I remember Mahaku once telling me that I would be able to become a great painter, and people like you would definitely not be able to understand my feelings. From the moment Mahaku told me that I could become a great painter, I had a dream, even if I was given up by my family, I still didn't give up because of Mahaku's words, but I was wrong from the beginning, and in the end, it was useless and took the dream from me without permission!

Rita's heart-rending voice resounded nearby, as if abandoned by the world, full of unwillingness and resentment.

There was a "clang" sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

The sudden sound startled Rita and Wang Hao, and they turned around together and looked at each other towards the place where the sound came from.

Falling to the ground was a plastic bag containing three bottles of black tea, and a beautiful girl was standing there at some point.

Shiina Mahaku's face was already pale, and his usual indifference had long since disappeared, his eyes were hollow and full of confusion, and he kept muttering to himself, repeating the same words: "Rita, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

Mahaku kept apologizing alone in the same place, his face was full of confusion about the world, like a person who was drowning but couldn't find a life-saving straw, so helpless.

It's like suddenly reacquainting yourself with the world, and you don't know what to do next, just being confused and scared, and everything is full of fear.

"Is it still useful to say this? I don't need your apology! I hate Mashiro the most, if only Mashiro didn't exist in the first place!!"

Rita said excitedly and loudly, revealing a terrible expression that Mahaku had never seen before, which made the latter even more overwhelmed, feeling so strange to his friend since childhood and growing up at this moment, just apologizing vigorously, repeating the words "sorry".

Seeing this scene, Wang Hao's expression was complicated, Zhenbai's appearance here was a little unexpected for him, he never thought of letting Zhenbai participate in this kind of thing.

But it's too late to say anything now, although Zhenbai is simple, but he is not stupid, even if Wang Hao says some remedial words, it will not help.

Now that Mahaku knows, there's no way around it, although he really wants Mahaku to be a carefree, innocent girl, but now it seems impossible.

There are some things that are not a bad thing for the other person to understand.

"Enough!"

Thinking of this, Wang Hao turned to look at Rita, his face was already indifferent: "Have you finished what you want to say?"

Originally, Wang Hao thought that the other party should be even more different, and he should also know what Zhenbai thought.

But obviously, Wang Hao listened to Rita's words, only to find that the other party didn't know Zhenbai at all.

He was a little disappointed, looked at Rita and continued expressionlessly: "If that's all you want to say, it's really boring, I didn't expect that the friend that Mahaku trusted since childhood would be so unbearable, talking about his misfortune from beginning to end, and never understanding Mahaku's thoughts." ”

"What do you mean by that? I've grown up with Mashiro since I was a child, do you think I don't know what she thinks?!"

"Literally, I said that you are simply a selfish and arrogant guy who completely ignores other people's thoughts! Can childhood sweethearts who grew up together be able to understand the thoughts of another person? What a simple idea! Do you really know what Mashiro thinks now? In that case, do you know what she likes now? Do you know how much effort she puts in behind her back? You don't know anything at all!"

"Hao! don't talk about Rita like that! it's all my fault, it's me who was too stupid to notice......"

Shiina Mahaku said to Wang Hao, trembling all over his body, like an abandoned cat.

Because I was afraid of being hated by Rita, I was afraid and fearful, as if I had been abandoned.

Rita is such an important existence for Maharita.,Usually doesn't care about the eyes of others at all.,Maybe the only object you care about is Rita.。

In the past ten years since the age of six, he has been painting with Mahaku, and the only friend who has come face to face.

So Mashiro cares about Rita very much, because Rita is a childhood sweetheart and the only friend, and even Mashiro has unconsciously regarded the other party as a relative, so she is afraid of losing.

For Rita, who has been the only one by her side since she was a child, Rita has become an important part of her life, and it is for her to come into contact with other things besides painting.

I could have endured the darkness if I hadn't seen the light.

Rita Eindworth is a ray of light in Shiina's life, bringing the light of hope.

"I'm sorry, Mahaku, there are some things I have to say now. ”

Wang Hao wanted to stretch out his hand and rub Zhenbai's head, but he retracted it after reaching halfway, and now he had to let Zhenbai know everything clearly.

However, his gaze at Rita became even colder, and he continued: "Zhenbai, even if a person is injured, he won't tell anyone anything, just a stupid boy who will silently bear everything behind his back, have you ever thought about it when you say those grandiose words?"

"Shut up!"

"You didn't even think about it! You use other people as a reason, that's fine, but don't you know? You're painting when you're drinking coffee, you're painting when you're playing, you're even painting when you're sleeping, and even you, who are treated as a friend by Mashiro, never know what you're doing and thinking, I thought Mashiro still had you as a friend, and it seems that you only approached Mashiro to satisfy your desires, don't you really know that Mashiro has nothing but to paint? A guy who gave up halfway is not qualified to say that a person who has been working hard!"

"Shut up!Shut up!!"

"It's all Zhenbai's fault, you yourself actually know that Zhenbai doesn't understand these things at all, and she won't understand these things if you don't tell them to Zhenbai, so you've been making excuses for yourself, working hard to respond to other people's expectations, blaming others when you fail, and never saying what you want to do, you don't seem to explain these at all? Revenge, jealousy! In fact, you are the person who has made mistakes! Why don't you say this? In fact, you are not willing to face the reality at all!"

The words are like frost, ruthless and cold, realistic and explicit.

Wang Hao's words ruthlessly broke through Rita's disguise all this time like a sharp sword, and the latter said excitedly: "Shut up for me! You don't know anything at all! It's really bad for a person like you who is so high up in the sky, who only cares about himself and analyzes others without knowing anything, and then makes a big deal of nonsense! Is there any fun in doing this? You bastard!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rita ran forward and stretched out her hand to rush up to hit Wang Hao.

Wang Hao looked at Rita who rushed over expressionlessly, and when the other party approached, he gently flashed to the side, and mocked mercilessly: "Is this the only way you have?"

"Ahh

After being dodged by the other party, Rita is depressed and more irritable at the same time, she feels like a clown.

Wang Hao turned a blind eye to all this, and was still ruthlessly sarcastic: "If you can do it, you can try it." ”

The irritability that could not be vented filled Rita's heart, and she was angry, she picked up her bag and threw it towards Wang Hao, but unfortunately the latter dodged it one by one.

picked up the drink that fell on the ground and threw it over, but it was still easily flashed aside by Wang Hao, and when there was nothing to throw away in the end, Rita glared at Wang Hao viciously with red eyes, and turned around and ran away.

A light rain fell in the sky, the wind whipped up fallen leaves, and the amusement park pedestrians began to leave in twos and threes.

Wang Hao just looked at all this coldly, he wouldn't go to Rita, because the current situation of Zhenbai made people even more worried.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and there were no people around.

Shiina Mayahiro is like a homeless cat, curled up lonely next to the street lamp in the amusement park.

Wang Hao quietly approached the other party and silently blocked his clothes on Zhenbai's head.

Cold air, icy rain.

This world, for Shiina Mashiro, seems to have lost its warmth.

Rita's words negated all of Shiina Mashiro's previous lives.

"Hao, I don't know anything, I didn't think about hurting Rita, I'm a bad boy......"

Shiina Mahaku raised her head blankly, it was a pair of empty eyes, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.

"No, Mahaku, you're not wrong, from the day you and I met, I knew that the girl named Shiina Mahaku has always been so kind, always so innocent, as if a carefree elf who shouldn't exist in this society. You have brought me and everyone at the Modern Dimension Research Club a lot of joy, and I have always believed that it was great that I met Shiina Mashiro!"
