Chapter 30: The Protector and the Protected
After listening to Assyria's past, Ji An finally understood how his timid personality was developed, and it is no wonder that this person's consciousness is always hiding in the subconscious - it turns out that what Assyria is afraid of also includes Aaron, who is facing each other day and night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, after listening to the whole story, Ji'an still finds it difficult for him to resonate with Assyria, perhaps because he played a similar role to Aaron throughout his youth.
Assyria's unexplained fear of Aaron reminded Ji An of a past incident in elementary school: at that time, he used to really hate Feng Ting because of a small gesture from her.
When she was about eight years old, Ji An went to Feng's house and saw Feng Ting wearing an aqua blue headband in the living room looking left and right in the mirror: the headband combed her bangs, revealing a full forehead, and the long naturally curly hair and pink face made her look like a doll in the window.
However, it is still a little bit close, and a little bit is perfect......
Ji An slowly approached her, wanting to take off a slightly exaggerated white rabbit ornament on the headband, the conscience of heaven and earth, he just wanted to take away this abrupt existence.
Feng Ting's eyes were wide and round, and her hand had been raised instinctively, wanting to block his outstretched hand.
Between friends, if they slapped each other's hands in a fight, it was natural, but what really taught Ji An to care was that after a trace of uneasiness flashed in Feng Ting's eyes, she shrank her neck slightly, and actually put down the hand she was holding, and then lowered her eyes and pursed her mouth without saying a word.
At that moment, Ji An understood: she was afraid of him, she didn't like others to mess with her hair, but because she was afraid of him, she didn't even dare to slap his hand away, she regarded him as a bully who couldn't resist.
Ji An really didn't understand, why was she afraid of herself? Is it because the day before yesterday he beat the little fat man who lived at the end of the street in front of her? That's because she said that the little fat man always pulls her hair, isn't he trying to stand out for her?
He was seen by her pride like a deflated rubber tire, how much he wanted to get close to the other party, how unwilling and aggrieved he was at this moment.
After that, there was a long awkward period between them, simply put, he was always looking for trouble, and she never confronted him head-on, and let him play a one-man show alone, so his heart was even more unhappy when his fists fell into the cotton, and the relationship with her was even more good, and he was not angry.
Later, the opportunity for them to reconcile was as delicate as the awkward origins.
About half a year later, more than 20 acquaintances in the district organized a family outing.
That day was the season of peach blossoms, in addition to the peach blossoms, the mountain was covered with ferns and anchovies, and the mountains were surrounded by spring.
The breeze turned the peach blossoms into tears, scattered in the peach forest one by one, and Ji An looked forward to the end of the peach forest: a group of girls were enthusiastically picking up the petals of the peach blossoms, and there was naturally one Feng Ting.
Picking up flower petals? Girls are really boring enough.
"Hey, believe it or not, I can ...... Feng Ting" Ji An, who was playing football with a group of boys, suddenly asked, and although he lowered his voice in the last few words, the boys present could hear it clearly.
The boys look at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and finally someone laughed and said, "If you succeed, we will sincerely make you a big brother." ”
Boys at that age always have some incomprehensible bad tastes.
So, Ji An led a group of boys into the peach forest.
Ji An walked up to Feng Ting, put one hand around her neck and said, "We just made a bet, they said that if you are willing to marry me, they will call me big brother in the future, then can you marry me?" ”
Suddenly, the men and women in the peach forest clapped their hands and coaxed: "Get married!" Tie the knot! Marriage ......"
Feng Ting was embarrassed by everyone, so she blushed and shook off Ji An's hand, but Ji An fell to the ground - in today's words, it is touching porcelain.
"You just say, do you want to marry me, or let me get out of the way?" Ji An saw that Feng Ting was planning to run away again, so he reached out and grabbed the hem of her skirt, so that she had to respond.
Feng Ting was really helpless by him, so she had to say, "Get out..... Open, right? ”
At that time, Feng Ting didn't even scold people, and turned the scolding words into question sentences.
Ji An said shamelessly: "Rolling needs a little external assistance, otherwise it will be difficult for me to roll myself, you push me to take a look." ”
Feng Ting, who was completely confused, squatted down blankly and pushed Ji An's shoulder, who was still lying flat.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "We've seen Feng Ting push people with her hands, and Ji An won!" ”
Ji An's bet is: to make Feng Ting so angry that he pushes people.
After getting the approval of his subordinates and people, Ji An rolled around happily on the ground: "I won, call big brother!" ”
"Hey, your real name is Lai, right? Is it still called Big Brother? In the future, let everyone call you Ripian. Feng Ting couldn't help laughing, and reached out to push Ji An again.
For the first time in half a year, she and he were finally fighting like friends again.
Children's hearts are like this, they are both sensitive and fragile, but also extremely forgetful, and in the eyes of adults, they just quarrel inexplicably, and reconcile for no reason.
"Friends, you can get angry with each other, fight, and be able to treat each other casually, that's a friend. Like you, who is always cautious and treats others like a flood beast, he is actually more tired than you, you know? Aaron isn't stupid, you think he can't see that you're afraid of him? He just pretended not to know. Ji An said with the same feelings.
How ironic and frustrating it is for a person who claims to be a protector to find that the protected person is more afraid of himself than others.
Assyria did not answer, and was silent for a long time before muttering, "He is good to me, I know." Just ......"
Before he could say the full "just", Assyria subtly changed the subject: "By the way, no wonder you were rolling around in General Mark's camp that day, because you were thinking about this time." ”
In Assyrian words, on the day Ji An "fell ill" in General Marco's camp that day, the parts that Ji An had forgotten completely turned out to be General Marco's hypnotism again, controlling his overly inflated animal nature by evoking warm memories of him.
Ji An remembered that General Marco had said that he was in the most dangerous stage, and that he stood on the scales between man and beast, and if he leaned a little, he would be completely out of control.
The two were talking, and suddenly, Ji An's eyes were fascinated by the red mist again, and the red glow that came from him symbolizing danger and attack almost blinded his heart and eyes - he was hungry again, but this "hunger" was extraordinary, and Ji An bit his arm again......
