Chapter 11: The Past of Maltose
"Ah!!h A girl's screams rang out, and it turned out that Maltose had woken up from a nightmare.
She sat up and straightened her sweaty hair, which was sticking to her neck.
In a dream, she was locked in a dark room, crying incessantly, and the darkness weighed down her breathlessly......
Recalling the dream just now, she really wanted to sweep those images out of her mind, but she couldn't do anything, the dark pictures, the frightened cries, crossed over and over again in her mind.
Suddenly, a short bell rang in the room, and the screen of the mobile phone not far from the bed lit up.
Maltose was startled, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
Now, any ringtone can make her feel terrible, and hearing the ringtone makes her think it's a call from the head coverer.
With trembling hands, she took the mobile phone on the bed, and was relieved to see that the text message displayed on the screen that had not completely darkened was sent by Yuexi Sakura.
The text message sent by Yuexi Sakura read, "Maltose~ Are you awake, it's already out of school, what do you want to eat, we'll help you bring it later." ”
Seeing the maltose of this text message, she only replied with the word "casual", usually, she would definitely reply with a lot of food, but now she is not interested in eating at all.
Throwing her phone to the side, she lay down again, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling, as if thinking about something......
When the moon and the two took dinner to see the maltose, the maltose stared at the food in the lunch box, and only took a few mouthfuls with chopsticks, and didn't even eat a quarter, which made the other two girls in the room very worried.
"Maltose, did that person contact you again after that?" Feeling that the maltose seemed to be worse than before, Yuexi Sakura opened her mouth and asked, or did she think about it more completely, and she actually hit it with one word.
But Maltose shook her head, she could have told the truth to Yuexi Sakura, but she didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't say anything.
Yuexi Sakura looked at the maltose with empty eyes, and glanced at Yin Yuxun, both of whom had distressed looks in their eyes.
"If there's anything, be sure to tell us."
Yin Yuxun's eyes looked at Maltose, which made Maltose feel relieved.
"Hmm." She nodded slightly.
"Remember, our two friends have always stood by your side, don't hold it alone" Tsukishi Sakura touched the maltose's head.
Yes, she still has two of their best friends, but ...... There are some knots that only you can untie.
"Shiozakura, I can't eat it...... Or do you want to be alone for a while, okay? Maltose, who had been unable to pick up the food, suddenly spoke.
Maltose, who usually likes to stick to other people, will make such a request this time, it seems that she really wants to be quiet alone, although she is very worried about her, but it is futile to ask her more now, so Yuexi Sakura and they went out after sorting out their things, give her some space, when she wants to talk, even if she doesn't let her say it, she will tell them all.
The maltose in the room sat quietly for a while, looked at the mobile phone on the side, took it and turned it off, I really didn't want to receive that call again.
She had been in her room all afternoon, and feeling that it was a little stuffy in the room, she went to the window and pushed it open.
Looking at the starry sky outside, and the wind blowing with a slight coolness, I took a little breath, which was much more comfortable than the stuffy air in the room.
Suddenly she really wanted to go out for a walk, go for a walk alone......
It was the first time I walked alone on campus at night, and I had a different feeling.
After passing a path, she walked towards the almost uninhabited plane tree, and she wanted to go deeper, and walked directly from the path to the dirt land with no road on the side, and the small figure walked among the large plane trees.
As she walked, there was a large rock in front of her, and she sat on it, and when she looked up, she saw the starry sky covered with stars above, and this angle was very beautiful.
"Hiss......" suddenly came from behind him.
"Who!" After what happened before, she became a little wary of some small movements around her.
"Ah...... I'm ......."
Maltose looked at the figure, and in the faint moonlight, he could see clearly that the person who came seemed to be the boy from the last school festival, and seemed to have taught her how to fish......
"That...... Don't mind if I bother. Li Tianyu looked at her and scratched his head a little confused.
In fact, he accidentally saw a small figure that seemed to be maltose walking towards the woods, and this was the first time he saw her not with Yuexi Sakura.
I don't know what's wrong, so I suddenly wanted to follow her to see what she was going to do, and I just wanted to follow in a whisper, but who knew that the sound of the leaves on the ground alarmed the people in front.
Maltose shook his head, sat down next to him, and generously gave up a place to sit on the big rock.
"That...... I ...... before I don't think I've introduced myself yet. After Li Tingyu sat down, he didn't know what to say, scratched his head, and said hesitantly, "My name is Li Tingyu, and I am in the same class as your friend Yuexi Ying." ”
After finishing speaking, he realized that the last sentence seemed to be a little redundant, and smiled awkwardly.
"Hmm...... My name is Ling Yi Sugar, just call me Maltose. Maltose didn't mind introducing himself to the other party.
There was silence again......
"You...... How did you come here? What about the moon tide cherry blossoms? In the end, it was Li Tingyu who broke the silence.
Maltose didn't reply, just looked up at the starry sky above.
"Any idea why I'm nicknamed Maltose?" After a long time, she did not answer Li Tianyu but asked him a question.
"Why?" Li Tingyu was still wondering if she didn't answer if she asked something she shouldn't ask, but she was blinded by her sudden question.
"I'm scared of being alone, I like to cling to people, and I only feel safe when someone is with me."
Maltose spoke in a very slow tone, and the helplessness revealed in his eyes made Li Tingyu feel distressed for a moment.
"It's normal for girls to not like someone." Li Tianyu looked at Maltose's expression, although he didn't know why she looked sad, but he still wanted to comfort her.
Maltose shook his head.
"I ...... There's a reason for that, because of my past, that's why my personality has become like this. ”
"Your past?" Li Tingyu asked along with her words.
Maltose nodded, and said faintly, "Well, that was ten years ago. ”
Ten years ago? What really happened to Maltose in the memories of 10 years ago......? (To be continued.) )
