Kazami Street.

At 10 p.m., the children who had already finished school gathered.

"Rock-scissors-paper."

"Ah...... I'm a ghost again, I've been a ghost twice. Five or six little boys gathered around, and one of the boys who lost the guess said.

- They were playing hide and seek at this time.

"Hehe, I'm willing to gamble and lose, hurry up, count a hundred, ......"

"Good, good...... Really, you can't be colluding, are you? ”

"Well, can you let me join you?"

Before the boy could finish speaking, a faint voice interjected between them, and not far from them stood a child of their size, dressed neatly and cleanly, and looking spotless compared to the sweaty children. Maybe it's because he usually eats very little, his body looks very thin, and his shoulder-length short hair looks more like a cute girl, which is also what most people think when they first see Bai Ling. But this is just a appearance, they all know that Bai Ling is just a boy who looks beautiful and cute, yes, beautiful and cute.

At this moment, there was a hint of embarrassment on his delicate face, as if he had exhausted all his courage just by saying this.

"No, go away." Headed by a boy refused to say.

Bai Ling stepped forward and pleaded, "I...... I can be a ghost, let me join, okay. ”

"Go away, you sissy." The boy pushed with his hand.

"It hurts"

The weak body was pushed to the ground, covered in dust, and the hands that were too nervous and clenched into fists were stained with mud from sweat. The children who fell to the ground looked at them helplessly, but no one wanted to come forward to help, and the onlookers smiled gloatingly, as if they liked to see someone being bullied.

Because of the pain, tears rolled in his eyes, and he wanted to have friends of his age, but every time they would not accept him. Since he was a child, he has endured loneliness alone, whether it is here or in an orphanage, as if he has been cursed with viciousness in this life, and the whole world is rejecting him.

"Come and see! This guy knows how to cry, he doesn't have any manhood at all, he is a boy but he has a girl's face, what a monster......" The boy led by him said even more violently.

"What are you doing?" A girl's voice came, full of rebuke, she ran over to help Bai Ling, wiped the stains off his body with a tissue, and then stared angrily at the group of onlookers. "It's too much for so many people to bully one!"

"It's Qianxia, that violent girl, run!" The boys were scattered and looked scared of the girl.

In a blink of an eye, the bear children ran away, and they didn't have the momentum of bullying Bai Ling at all, and Bai Ling looked at the girl blankly for a while.

"Are you okay, did those people do anything to you?" The girl named Chixia asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you." After being stunned, looking at Qianxia's worried gaze, Bai Ling whispered that no one other than his sister had been so good to him since he came here.

As the sun set, two children of the same age sat down on a bench in a small park, Bai Ling's heart was nervous, he had never had friends of the same age for the first time, he tried the taste of someone willing to get along with him, like a sweet marshmallow, very sweet and happy.

"My name is Chixia Himenomiya, just call me Chixia, what's your name?" The girl first introduced herself.

"My name is Bai Ling......"

"Bai Ling, it's like a girl's name."

"This is a gift from my sister."

"Gifts, are you a boy? I hear them call you that. ”

"Yes, yes." Bai Ling said resignedly, except for his sisters, almost no one gets along with him, but he is a little shy in the face of this girl at this time.

"It's so cute!" Qianxia's eyes were shining with stars, and her hands were rubbing Bai Ling's cheeks.

"Please...... Please don't do that. Bai Ling struggled to dodge Chinatsu's hands.

"Alright, no kidding." Qianxia looked at Bai Ling's dodging posture and said, "By the way, why did they bully you?" And are you willing to be bullied by them like that? ”

Bai Ling pinched his fingers, couldn't raise his head as Qianxia said, and said a little unnaturally: "I want to play hide and seek with them, but they don't like to be with me...... Because...... Because I look like a girl......"

"So that's the case, those guys, a group of rice buckets who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, don't pay attention to them in the future."

“…… Well. Bai Ling responded, and then remembered the scene where Qianxia had just scared away the group of children, "You are so powerful, you scared them all away." ”

"Because they know that if they don't run, they'll all be beaten by me." Chixia said as a matter of course, as if it was a very proud thing for a girl to beat a boy away, and then said, "I used to be bullied a lot. Mom and Dad were very busy at work and often away from home, so they made fun of me as a child that no one wanted. Chixia was a little depressed when she remembered the past, but that expression was fleeting, "So I went to study karate for two years, and when I came back, I beat up everyone who dared to make fun of me." ”

"Empty...... Karate! Bai Ling's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"That's right, Bai Ling wants to learn, I'll teach you, and then go and beat up those nasty ghosts." Chixia blinked triumphantly.

"No, no need, my sister said she wouldn't let me fight."

"That's right, your soft and weak appearance has no deterrent effect at all." Qianxia said with a look of seeing through everything, "As a boy, you are simply unqualified." ”

"Right...... I'm sorry. ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, why apologize."

"Because...... I...... I'm an unqualified boy. ”

Puff -

Chixia couldn't help but laugh, "It's not your fault, people, some things are unchangeable as soon as they are born. ”

The girl said in an old voice, in the eyes of adults, it is somewhat funny for a child to say such a thing, but at this time it is indeed a kind comfort to Bai Ling.

"Can I - be friends with you, no one wants to play with me, no one likes me, no one wants to be friends with me."

"Of course, aren't we friends now, and since no one wants to be friends with you, let me be your friend. If someone bullies you in the future, tell me and I will definitely protect you. No matter how many friends you make in the future, I will be on your side. The little girl named Qianxia swore that although she was very young, she spoke very sincerely.

"Thank you, but, no one will want to be my friend except for you, Chixia."

"Let's try again."

"What?"

"If you don't try it and come to such a conclusion, then your friends who may appear in the future are not very pitiful, aren't they?"

"But, but ......"

"No, it's good to make up your mind to do it."

"Why...... Qianxia wants to help me like this, obviously I just met ......."

"Because, I see in you that I used to be cowardly, but now I have become stronger, so I hope you can cheer up. If you don't have friends, then get to know other people, just like you met me, aren't we already friends? ”

"Thank you...... Thank you. Before the words of thanks were finished, tears flowed like a river bursting the embankment.

"Don't cry, what are men crying about?"

"yes, I'm sorry, I'm just too impressed."

"What a fool, don't cry, are you really a boy."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"Stupid, don't say you're sorry."

"Yes, yes."

……

In Bai Ling's small world, in addition to his closest sister, he joined the outsider for the first time, this is his first friend, and the rope called the bond pulls the two of them, making their relationship indestructible.
