Of course, Ivan came over without malice, he was worried that this child he had just met would not be able to bear it because of this matter, so he wanted to comfort him.

"How are you getting along with your father?" asked Ivan.

Levi nodded, and Ivan said, "Life is a bad show." My dad is a rotten man, I used to want him to leave the house, I left the house before him, it was because of his relationship. ”

"My dad never hit me...... Levi retorted.

"Neither did my dad. Ivan said.

Zhuang Yan listened to the conversation between the two of them from a distance and couldn't help but smile, this conversation was Zhuang Yan's favorite one, and it was also the evidence that Zhuang Yan thought Mark Levi could tell stories.

Some people criticize Mark Levy's storyline for not being rigorous and compact enough, but Zhuang Yan feels that these things are irrelevant, because his narrative skills can be seen from this dialogue.

In just two sentences, it is easy to describe Ivan's personality characteristics vividly.

Man is a complex animal, everyone is different, some are humble, some are arrogant, some are good, some are evil. But there are many kinds of humble people, there are many kinds of arrogant people, and good and evil are even more complicated.

But Mark Levi handles this very well, and Ivan is nothing more than a supporting character, and it is impossible to write about him at great length, only with these dialogues.

Ivan wanted to comfort Levi at first, and even spoke out about his feelings and experiences, hoping to comfort Levi or make him open up to him.

But Levi then said that his father had never beaten him, but it touched his heart, and he wanted to make Levi open his heart, but he closed the door of his heart first.

He is kind and careful, but he is unwilling to face his heart, he wants to help others open his heart, but he doesn't know that he keeps his heart tight.

He is an ordinary person, many people are like him, and Mark Levi brought him out to be a representative of ordinary people.

The two continued to chat, and Levi threw a bomb at Ivan, saying that he knew that Ivan's father had beaten him, whipped him with a belt, and dragged him into the garden.

Ivan was taken aback, and he asked Levi why he knew all this, but Levi avoided talking about it, and talked about him left and right. Until the class bell rang, Ivan didn't get the answer he wanted.

Levi left, leaving Ivan alone on the bench, and the people on the playground were scattered, Zhuang Yan looked a little lonely from a distance, Ivan's back looked a little lonely.

Zhuang Yan walked over and sat next to Ivan, he looked at Ivan's shadow and found that the shadow had re-enlarged, and it seemed that his shadow and Levi's shadow had changed back.

"What are you thinking?" Zhuang Yan said as he looked at Ivan, who had buried his head in his hands.

Ivan was visibly startled, he almost jumped out of his chair, "Why are you here?"

"If you can be here, of course I can be here. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Levi looked at the playground and then at the classroom, "But it's class time, why don't you go to class?"

"I took a leave of absence. Zhuang Yan shrugged.

"Why are you taking a leave of absence?"

"Maybe it's because I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

"Possibly?"

"Well, probably. Zhuang Yan nodded and changed the subject, "You look a little unhappy?"

Ivan shook his head, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little tired, sit here for a while." ”

"Well, I thought you were wondering why Levi knew you were beaten with a belt by your dad. Zhuang Yan said.

"How do you know, who told you!"

Ivan's reaction was exactly the same as when Levi revealed his secret just now, and Zhuang Yan smiled: "I heard it when you were chatting just now. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"So, is he telling the truth?"

"No......" Ivan couldn't say any more as soon as he said a word, he didn't seem to want to lie, rubbed his hair, and said a little weakly, "Well, what he said is true, but he doesn't tell me who told him." ”

Zhuang Yan knew the truth, but he was not ready to tell Ivan, he patted Ivan on the shoulder and said: "Maybe he has something unspeakable, you should also know that he has no malicious intentions." ”

"But ......"

The moment Ivan raised his head, Zhuang Yan felt that there were many more pictures in his mind that did not belong to him.

A little boy was whipped by his father with a leash and dragged into the garden.

Zhuang Yan reacted immediately, he turned his head to look behind, and sure enough, he and Ivan's shadow changed positions.

This is the second time that Zhuang Yan has experienced this feeling of stealing someone else's shadow, which is somewhat similar to the feeling he had traveled over at that time, and the images that appeared in his mind were also the same as the memory fragments left by his predecessor.

It was really a tragic childhood, after seeing these pictures, Zhuang Yan looked at Ivan with some pity, anyone who has had a childhood like Ivan is worthy of sympathy.

And Zhuang Yan really had empathy at this time, and he felt that it was completely understandable that Ivan wanted to escape these painful memories.

Seeing Zhuang Yan's eyes, Ivan suddenly shook his head, "I'm really strange, why do you want to talk to two children about these things." ”

Standing up from the bench, Ivan said to Zhuang Yan: "If you are really uncomfortable, I suggest you go home early...... Of course, if it's fake, I also recommend that you stop staying in school, because the teacher who criticized you for fake will definitely call you if they see that you are still in school. ”

After saying that, Ivan straightened his clothes and walked into the distance.

Zhuang Yan sat on the chair and saw Ivan walking away, he stared at his larger shadow, and tried to ask, "Can you hear me?"

No response.

Zhuang Yan asked again, "Can you hear me?"

This time the answer sounded in Zhuang Yan's mind, "Are you talking to me?"

Receiving a response, Zhuang Yan was very happy, "Otherwise, is there anyone else here?"

"But no one ever spoke to me, and no one ever heard me. Shadow said.

"But didn't you run away to someone else the day before yesterday?"

Zhuang Yan's words seemed to evoke the memories of the shadow, and after a while, the shadow said: "It's really a strange thing, this kind of thing happened twice in a row, it's really incredible." ”

"It's not surprising, just like no one would have thought that you shadows would have independent thoughts. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

The shadow seemed to think that what Zhuang Yan said was very reasonable, and nodded with his back to the light, "You are right, but this is still a strange thing, people can talk to the shadow, this is something that has never happened before." ”
