267 The so-called friend
Brutus, who had always been out of the situation, inadvertently interrupted, and the original atmosphere was broken with irony, and the serious and tense situation also changed subtly, and the momentum of Thunder Peters's indomitable and angry crown was also broken.
Ray Peters' gaze was back on Holden, but without that terrifying rage.
"Do you know what a friend is?"
Similarly, taking the initiative to ask for help when it is difficult and calling for help is not a sign of cowardice, but a frank admission of one's own weaknesses, one's strength is limited, and only when friends and partners unite can we be stronger. β
"Don't say that you choose to lie to protect your friends, that's your choice, and have you asked your friends about their choices? Do your friends want to fight with you? Do your friends want to face difficulties with you? Do your friends want to work with you? Don't think you're smart enough to make decisions for everyone. β
"Hoden, I genuinely consider you a friend, and I hope you can give me the truth, at least so that my insistence doesn't look so ridiculous. β
Thunder Peters is not good at speaking and speaking, and his impassioned words do not have much to boil the blood into, more anger and sadness, but the sincerity and sincerity hidden between the lines are unquestionable, and the resolute and bright eyes still hide anger, and more importantly, the sincerity from the heart.
This made Horden a little embarrassed, his eyelids lowered, and he was not able to look directly into Ray Peters' eyes.
"I thought we were friends. β
"I thought we were the Kos community, we were a group of dreamers who were not trying to do anything but were always challenging La Tuwada. Holden, remember what we said in the first place?"
"It is precisely because we know that it is impossible that we insist on ourselves even more. The existence of the Kos Society is to change the world, have you forgotten it?"
"What about Holden who challenged me not to propose to La Tourwada? I wanted him to stand in front of me, look me in the eye, and tell me that he didn't need my help, that he had forgotten his declaration to change the world, that he had never considered me a friend, that he thought I was just a coward who would turn around and run away when he was in trouble, and that he didn't believe that we were true friends. β
"Let that Horden out! I just need an affirmative answer, and then I'll turn away. β
Sentence after sentence, thunder crashed like a storm against Howlen's eardrums.
Once a joke, the Kos Society, once a mischievous Ratuwada, is now a flame that stings Holden.
Brutus's gaze quickly moved back and forth between Hodden and Thunder Peters, and to some surprise, the side that had the upper hand was actually Ray Peters, but he still couldn't understand, what friends, what lies, what calls for help...... He felt as if he was missing something important.
"I'm sorry, but can anyone tell me what's going on? We're the Kos Society, aren't we? Robben, say something. β
Brutus gave Robben a pleading look, now realizing the gravity of the situation, but he had no idea.
Robben didn't answer.
The iceberg face, which was still expressionless, revealed a little heaviness and seriousness, immersed in his own thoughts, struggling: he couldn't be sure whether he should drag the two "innocent people" in front of him into this muddy waterβ
It's like at the beginning, his first reaction was to let Hoden stay out of the matter, because he didn't want to involve Hoden, and he had no position or right to ask Hoden to risk his life with him.
So, what about now?
Originally a symbol of teenage friendship, the Kos community has now become a dilemma.
What is the right choice?
Robben didn't have an answer either.
Robben's silence, Thunderers' urgency, Holden's detachment, made Brutus feel a tightness in his chest, and he alone did not understand what was happening.
Just as Brutus was about to protest again, Holden jerked to his feet and turned away without saying a word.
Let's go?
Just walked away?
What is this operation?
Brutus's eyes widened, and the question mark on his head had not yet been resolved, and now he added another one: Is Hodden running away?
Robben and Ray Peters followed after him, and Brutus was left behind before he could make a move.
It's like he's not important at all.
But! he is also a member of the Kos community, and he is also a member of the challenge of La Tuvada! Why is he the only one being excluded?
It's not fair!
Looking left and right, Brutus' temples couldn't help but beat suddenly: he can't get angry, he can't get angry, he needs to be a gentleman, and this is a public place in the library, and superfluous movements can make him the center of attention, but ...... I really couldn't help it this time!
Ooh!
Brutus also stood up and walked away in a huff.
Originally, he wanted to leave the library directly, but since they didn't want to say anything, and their mysterious appearance excluded him like this, then there was no need for him to dwell on it.
But in the corner of his eye, he saw the three figures heading to the balcony on the third floor of the library, the dark clouds in the sky were suppressed layer by layer, and a vast gray spread out, as if it could swallow them at any time, and the restlessness in his heart could not be calmed down after all, and the footsteps still obediently followed.
"Who knows what the hell you're doing. β
"I didn't care at all. β
"What kind of game, just play it yourself. β
"I don't know what I'm doing. β
"I'm smart, okay?"
Babbling and muttering to himself, he closed his mouth when he came to the vicinity of the three people, stood a little apart, and then closed his mouth, and turned his eyes away dissatisfiedly, expressing his dissatisfaction and depression in this way, like a black swan who does not fit in.
"Blue, I'm sorry. Hoden broke the silence with his first apology, which made Brutus a little embarrassed, and tried to say something, but he couldn't find the right words, so he moved towards them, and the four of them became a small group again.
"I ...... I'm not so sure...... "Even now, Hodden isn't quite sure if he should tell Raypeters and Brutus."
There is no right or wrong in many things in life, only choices.
Looking at the angry Thunderpeters and the awkward Brutus, as well as the stiff Robben, it seemed that they were back in the ordinary afternoon, they were playing and shouting together, "La Touval", it seemed that only one slogan could change the world, and they sincerely believed so.
After a pause, the struggle calmed down, and Holden made his choice. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
