2. II
>> Adversity is like a strong wind, tearing off our coats but not our hearts, so that we can see our true selves.
The boy was stunned for a few seconds when he heard her words, then he jerked his head down and fiddled with the lunch box, and soon the boy's clean voice came out with a consistently beautiful voice, "My name is Span Serared, and I'm glad to know you!" โ
That's really a wonderful start, isn't it? Liu Fanxu bit the tip of the spoon and smiled brightly. And the big boy on the other side of the table, because of her gaze, buried his head uncomfortably, and kept picking up the bibimbap in the lunch box. Liu Fanxu coughed lightly and gave up bullying the boy who had just saved her life. She lowered her head and carefully opened her lunch box, the hot steam that hit her cheeks was rich in the aroma of rice, it was a simple white rice porridge, she lowered her eyelids, this time she really curled the corners of her mouth, and in the most inadvertent way, she whispered "Thank you, Spencer." The boy opposite, his movements were suffocated, he looked up at Liu Fanxu, his brown eyes were full of surprise, and then, he smiled slightly, yes, he suddenly kindly brought a stranger into his house, it was because he was attracted by all kinds of contradictions in this girl, he wanted to understand this strange girl, he knew it was crazy to do so, but he wanted to be willful for his instincts once, Red pursed his lips, his eyes drooped unnaturally, and after opening his mouth a few times to try to speak, he finally said what was in his heart" Your feet need to be medicated. โ
Liu Fanxu lowered his eyes, elegantly took a sip of the rice porridge in the spoon, the struggle in Red's heart just now was all over on his face, she was good at observing words and emotions since she was a child, she naturally looked at it thoroughly, she didn't care what kind of intuition he took her in, as long as she was sure that he was pure in nature, then she would not change her decision to stay with him for the time being, thinking of this, Liu Fanxu finally raised her eyes to look at Red, of course she was happy to accept his kindness, but there are some things that still need to be explained" Spencer, oh, Can I call you Spencer? โ
When Red saw Liu Fanxu looking up at him, the expression on his face immediately tensed, but her finally normal tone made his heart feel relieved. You know, he really can't cope with the way the girl just spoke with a heavy mask, but at this moment, she was sincere, she sincerely expressed her closeness, he was very happy, so his expression gradually changed from tight to soft "Of course, I mean, no one has ever called me that, except for my mother" Because he was relaxed, so the words blurted out with more sincerity, this moment, he didn't because the opposite was sitting opposite a stranger who had just known his name, concealed the grievances and sadness that suddenly welled up in his heart. He had to admit that he could easily get a few more PhDs, which was fine, as long as he wanted to, but he couldn't get a friend who really made friends with him. The experience since he was a child has cast a heavy shadow on his heart, he is inferior and cowardly but eager to prove that he desperately wants to be recognized by others, unfortunately, he has always been the first to be abandoned, no one wants to get close to him as a freak, no one wants to listen to what he wants to say, no one cares whether he has zร i or not, maybe when he reaches the age of thirty he forgets about himself, no one will remember that there was a Span Serade.
The love that has always been suppressed is like a spring that has suddenly found an outlet, gushing out. Liu Fanxu, who was sitting opposite, was overwhelmed by the sadness that suddenly welled up from Rhett's body, she opened her lips slightly, her atrium began to tremble, she admitted that she was infected by Rhett, her chest was full of past pain, and unconsciously even the appearance of peace she had always maintained gradually cracked. The tip of her tongue licked her lips, at this moment she no longer portrayed the aristocratic etiquette of a smile, but the most real Liu Fanxu, she put down the spoon in her hand, and her eyes fell on the lunch box in front of Rhett without focus, "Spencer, maybe you don't believe it, but I'd rather be isolated than deal with those who want to approach you with all kinds of malice." However, the reality is that I can't, I can't really keep them away from me, and I need to rack my brains all the time to maintain that false illusion, because my family needs me to do it. The reality tells me that I have no one to trust and no one to rely on except myself. She didn't look at Red's expression, she knew that her world was foreign to him, she had never expected to be understood, and she even intended to take these words to the grave, but now she said them because of the boy's grief. She raised her hand and touched the corner of her eye with her fingertips, she thought she would have tears, but the fact was that there was a collapsing feeling in her heart, but there were no waves in her eyes "Look~" Liu Fanxu raised his eyelids, looked at Rhett, and raised the fingertips that had just touched the corner of his eye and looked in his direction, "I haven't shed tears for many years." โ
Red's brown eyes were still clear and clean, but they were different from the beginning, Liu Fanxu's words left sentimentality and longing in his eyes, he didn't understand her world, but because for the first time someone was willing to share it with him, he tried to empathize, he was trying to get closer to her, he was longing for the warmth he had always craved, he thought he could get the warmth he thought he would get from her. Because of the first meeting with her, she looked even more depressed, facing Liu Fanxu, his psychology subconsciously told himself, he didn't have to feel inferior, he didn't have to worry that this beautiful girl would ignore his words, he didn't have to worry about him taking the initiative to approach and be betrayed and abandoned by her again, because she was now homeless, because she was now asking him. Look, he's actually such a despicable person "I'm not as kind as you think, I, I'm sorry" Red raised his hand to cover his chin, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes were overflowing with sadness "I just suddenly realized that I wasn't as I thought I was, I was using you." โ
"Spencer" Liu Fanxu stopped softly, she felt very fortunate that she met the greatest luck in her life when she was most desperate. At first sight, but like this, she understood why she was so calm in front of him, "You are the purest person I have ever met to me, we use each other, but the reason for using is so simple." I guess that's why I'm running away from the past, okay, Spencer, I know I'm showing up inexplicably. She put her hand on the table, along the smooth tabletop, stretched out her hands to Rhett, hand to face, waiting to be held in a position, she looked into Rhett's eyes and promised seriously, "Spencer, I can only say that I am not a big traitor, I am so depressed because I didn't get out of bed yesterday morning, and I was forced to escape from those past tones at the door of the house, I don't know how to describe it, at that moment, I was only wearing a nightdress, not even a coat and shoes and socks, and I escaped in the cold weather, But I was like, wow, it's so easy, I like, okay, I know it's crazy, but I know I'm not going back, I'm taking on the responsibilities that I need to bear, I've done what they've asked me to do, I feel like I can have my own life. So, here I am. โ
Red lowered his head, his hand covering his chin was put on the table, rubbing his fingers, as if hesitating, then he pursed the corners of his mouth, and finally made up his mind, he stretched out his hands and took the initiative to hold Liu Fanxu's hands, he leaned forward, trying to get closer to her "It's crazy, you almost died, if not" Red closed his eyes, it seemed that the possibility made him difficult to accept "God, thank God, let me go there and meet you at that time." This was what he had said with the greatest courage, and this time he didn't have to worry about his mind being ridiculed, he knew that the girl he had just met would be his best friend for life, and his instincts told him so, and that was how it had developed so far.
"You saved me, that's the truth, Spencer, I want to say thank you" Liu Fanxu looked at the hands of the two of them, and raised the corners of his mouth, maybe this boy is someone she can try to trust, her intuition tells her that they will become friends "I won't be a burden to you, trust me." Just give me a few days. She saw that he grinned because of her words, his white teeth leaked outside, and his eyes were smiling with bags under his eyes, this smile was really silly, but she thought it was very good-looking, so she, who had completely disregarded the image of a lady, learned from her new friend, grinned, leaked out two rows of white teeth that were well maintained, and his eyes were bent into crescents, and he smiled stupidly.
"Okay, start a new life, so what's the first step?" Red suddenly nodded very seriously, Liu Fanxu didn't have to think about it to guess that his brain must be running at high speed, because he didn't pause at the speed of speech, "Of course it's eating, according to my inference, you should have not eaten for two days, so I prepared white porridge for you, very light, but suitable for your stomach and intestines that have been vacant for a long time, in addition, the wound on your foot has entered the bacteria, if you don't treat it, there is an 80% probability that you will be infected, if you disinfect it now, you will avoid infection complications, Although there are many wounds, they only scratch the epidermal capillaries, which looks scary but does not leave a scar. Oh, and one more thing, it's your clothes, I know, you threw all the clothes you were wearing in the garbage bag, whether it was that coat that you picked up from somewhere or your nightdress, so after we finished eating and medicine your feet, we went to buy you some clothes. Okay, I'd like to say, actually some of the clothes in my closet are new, but I don't know if you mind, of course, I'm not saying you can't buy new ones, it's just that I'm a little nervous about living expenses this month because I bought a few books beyond my budget, and of course it's not that I can't maintain it, if you-"
"Spencer, those clothes in the closet are fine." She didn't interrupt him out of impatience, but watched him turn himself into a dead end of socializing around the topic, and kindly pulled him. Liu Fanxu was actually surprised that he could still keep smiling in front of Rhett, who was so fragmented. Since meeting this Rhett boy, she has really become less and less like herself. Perhaps, this patience was due to the fact that she had finally thrown off the heaviest shackles, and she smiled and responded with her truest self to the boy's trembling hand that stretched out to her, "Listen to you, Spencer, let me guess, you must be a genius." โ
"Although I don't think IQ can be quantified, I do remember it, reading at an average speed of 20,000 words per minute, IQ of 187, well, I'm a genius." Rhett answered Liu Fanxu's question one by one, if she didn't have a certain understanding of this boy, she would definitely think that he was crushing her with his IQ, even if she felt that her IQ would not be worse than him. She thought that she knew what was going on with his weak communicative skills, his IQ was off the charts, his EQ was in arrears, and she felt that her shoulders were suddenly much heavier.
"My genius boy~" Liu Fanxu smiled helplessly, and picked up the spoon at hand, "According to your instructions, let's solve these meals first, and then give medicine to my feet, and then you can find those clothes you said for me from your closet, how about it?" โ
"Yes, okay." Red nodded, he didn't purse his lips again, Red had relaxed when he faced her, she thought. The boy on the other side stopped talking, and his speed of cooking was finally normal, Liu Fanxu lowered his eyes, knowing that he finally had a stable situation. She actually had a lot of questions to ask, such as which country was this, which city it was, and that her sense of orientation had become confused and she didn't know where she was on this earth. However, there was no need for her to add more doubts to the person who had just become her friend. Well, she doesn't just need to know where she is, she also needs to give herself a legal identity.
The wound on his foot ended up being taken care of by Red, who hated her brutal methods. The Potions Master, accustomed to white moss, shrugged his shoulders and did not hesitate to give his pair of โกโก to Doctor of Chemistry Red. I have to say that in the face of her generous behavior, even Rhett, who owes emotional intelligence, is dyed red on his face, ears, and neck, she looks at him who is squatting in front of her to treat her wounds, and his shy appearance makes her laugh tremble, Rhett wanted to throw away the feet on his knees several times, and finally was flickered by Liu Fanxu's flattering smile, he angrily wrapped several layers of gauze on her feet, and then tied a bow on the instep. She watched as Red took revenge like a child, and finally laughed and fell into the sofa chair. Liu Fanxu, who was about to burst out of breath, asked her new male girlfriend to find clothes for her while holding her head to admire Rhett's embarrassed back. She felt that the misery of the first half of her life was for the luck that began at this moment, as if she had drunk a large bottle of elixir, which really made her addicted.
Rhett's wardrobe is very much in line with the characteristics of most boys, with a bright exterior and a chaotic interior. The clothes he finally found were actually no different from what he was wearing, it should be said that his dressing style has been the same for decades. Liu Fanxu took it unexpectedly, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, she calmly turned her back and untied the bath towel, and then she heard him turn around in a hurry. She glanced back and saw that he was standing five paces away, his hair clutched and his back to hers, the tips of his ears the color hadn't faded since just now. Liu Fanxu grinned silently, she turned around, picked up the vest and put it on her body, it was very loose, she pulled the neckline that hung down, and put on a plaid shirt of the same color as him. She knew he was thin, but he was still a boy, and his height was 185, compared to her 170, and she wore his shirt and looked like he was wearing an oversized shirt dress. She raised her eyebrows and put the sweater on her body with a smile, but the upper half of the body was almost up to the knees, and the lower body basically didn't need to try it on.
"Spencer, it looks like I still need to go buy some underwear and leggings." Liu Fanxu turned around and approached Red, pulling the hem of his clothes and letting him see how his clothes worked on her.
"Oh, I've found the smallest set, okay." Red grabbed his hair, quickly put on his coat, put on his messenger bag, and stood at the door and glared at Liu Fanxu, "Quick, we have to solve your dressing problem before dark." She blinked, picked up the coat that Rhett had given her, and jumped over to Rhett's side to board his kindly sponsored cotton boots, "Spencer, are we going to the store to shop?" Ridra picked up Liu Fanxu's right hand, "Your feet are uncomfortable, I will support you, yes, there is a supermarket near here, it is now three o'clock in the afternoon, we can buy the clothes you need while thinking about what to eat at night." โ
Liu Fanxu lowered his eyes and looked at the hands held by the two, smiled silently, and then stretched out his left hand to hold her arm, "Well, listen to you, I haven't been to the supermarket for a long time." Rhett looked sideways at Liu Fanxu, who was eager to try, and grinned, this is the most action he has done today, laughing, laughing sincerely. Okay, let's go! The two nervously compared a dynamic superman pose, and then were laughed at by each other, and then the two snuggled up to the smiling body while walking while listening to Red's endless science popularization of dynamic superman's unscientific bug spit point 123 and so on. Liu Fanxu held Rhett's arms with both hands, and because of Rhett's stern complaint, she had no strength to laugh, and she had to walk with his arm support. Red also said very devotedly, this was the first time that no one interrupted his complaining, and he paid attention to Liu Fanxu who was walking against him while letting his thoughts diverge.
