Chapter 5: Charm
And just like that, I stood. I don't know how long it took for pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion to find some other sensations.
Actually, all along, there have been people passing by around me. Because this is a suburb, there are not many people passing by here. But, even if it's not much, people often pass by me.
For some reason, now, my attitude towards ordinary humans has completely changed.
I'm not as shy as I used to be, and I care about what other people think. Actually, I don't care about anything right now. However, what struck me was that I didn't care about anything in my heart, and I couldn't see it on the surface. When I realized this, I realized how terrible I am for human beings now.
When I became aware of those people, my eyes followed their footsteps and figures.
It's a wonderful feeling that I never felt like this before, when I was a human being. It's a feeling of being attracted, these things that have walked past me, they have drawn me, never before, to me.
And when I realized this, I couldn't help but be shocked again.
Yes, I actually called human beings a kind of thing.
I was stunned by this thought.
However, I was only stunned for a moment, and after a few moments, I found my own feeling again.
Yes, now, to me, they are a thing, like any object, lifeless, soulless, just a being for me to claim.
When Tranquility came back to me, I noticed that some smiles began to appear on my lips.
My eyes were hollow, and a smile was on my lips. My gaze wandered unintentionally around the world, dazed, and aimless.
Still, when my gaze crossed over something, I sensed something strange, and that was that I was attracted to others.
At this point, several people looked at me. This instinctively alerted my heart, but soon, I relaxed, for I could already feel the meaning of that gaze. It was a kind of affection, harmless, and unhesitating, and in the midst of it, there was some trust that should not be included in the least.
Almost instantly, I understood, they were attracted to me.
They adore me. Although this is for me without any reason, no logic, no root, it is a real fact.
They like me.
When I realized this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in my heart.
They liked me, and it definitely gave me some opportunities, some opportunities that belonged to me.
They will enrich me, they will keep me alive, they will keep me from prostrating in this cold world, and they will keep me living in abundance.
They gave me hope, but, knowing very well in my heart, it would ruin them, not only them, but it would be completely ruined, completely and without a trace of warmth.
I looked up at one of them, it was a girl, standing twenty meters away from me, she was walking, but she looked a little absent-minded, she was carrying a basket in her hand, I didn't know what was in it, and I was not interested in knowing. I could feel that she looked absent-minded, but from time to time she looked at me with her gaze and dodged it. And all this, I completely saw in my eyes.
When I looked up and met my gaze, she immediately lowered her head. There was a little shyness on her face, and though it wasn't close, I could feel the signs of her frantic heartbeat, and a hint of blush wafting across her cheeks.
I looked at her, without emotion.
Though I habitually feel guilty in my heart, forgive me, Heaven, that habits are leaving me, and at this moment, although they are rising, I know that soon, they will disappear, or even disappear completely.
She avoided my gaze, and I, calmly looking at her, and, with an almost instinctive feeling, studied her.
She likes me, yes, she must like me. I've been able to be completely sure of this.
I don't know what she liked about me, but I remember that when I was a human, there weren't too many girls who liked me. At that time, I was a bit reserved and not very good at words. Among girls, I am a boy who is very shy. And Jack, he's a lot luckier than me.
Eventually, however, it all came to an end. And, in such a way, it ended.
I studied her, and my gaze must have been naked, without the slightest concealment. Finally, under my gaze, she raised her head again and looked at me.
Now that she was the only target in my vision, there was a sudden excitement and joy in my heart, and as soon as this excitement arose, I had an impulse to approach her, and then, to take her arms around her slender waist, and then, leaning down, and giving her everything she wished for, and letting her life be fixed in my world forever.
When this thought spread, my heart beat faster.
She was still looking at me, the flush on her face still there. Only now she had become aware of my unobstructed gaze, and, in my honest gaze, her eyes had brightened.
She looked at me with more tenderness in her eyes, and her cheeks turned red with fire. And all this turned into my fatal temptation.
Finally, in the midst of these temptations, I lifted my feet and slowly walked towards her.
She took a few steps back, as if she wanted to leave, and as if she was a little scared because I could almost burn her, she took a few quick steps back, but, eventually, she stood still.
Finally, she stood in front of me.
She is a head shorter than me, and her round face shows the health and fullness of a woman who lives in the mountains and rivers all year round. She is beautiful because she is very young.
She looked at me, completely intoxicated.
"Have I seen you?" Finally, I heard her ask me.
I shook my head.
"But you make me feel like a person. I seem to have seen you somewhere, but, when I think about it, I can't remember. ”
When I heard her words, I was puzzled. Now, though, it doesn't matter to me.
"I like you." She continued, "Really, please forgive me for my presumptuousness. I seem to have a natural affection for you. She politely apologized to me, "Do you live nearby?" How come it is that I never seem to have seen you? She laughed, her voice was nice, but, for some reason, it didn't seem very appealing to me.
