Chapter 202: Making Friends
Shizuka Mishima and Kosaihei sat next to each other, without speaking to each other, each looking at a book. What Gong Xiping didn't know was that what Shizuka Mishima was reading were some ancient Chinese books. Like Gong Xiping, she also reads classical Chinese. It's just that her level is limited after all, so she can only read the original text while constantly looking at the annotations. Even so, her attainment in Chinese is still quite high. It is even polite to say that her understanding of Chinese is deeper than that of many people in country Z.
Shizuka Mishima was reading a book, and from time to time she sneaked a peek to the side. This is the first time she has gone far away, and it is also the first time she has gone abroad, and it is the first time she has seen foreigners. Although she is a little afraid of dealing with strangers, she is young after all, and young people are always curious. When she saw Gong Xiping, she didn't quite understand. is also black-haired and yellow-skinned, and his eyes are all black, so he looks similar to a person from his own country, but why is he a foreigner? In her impression, foreigners should have yellow hair, blue eyes, and a high nose bridge.
Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to ask, but her curiosity made her want to know. Therefore, she could only sneak a look at Gong Xiping from time to time, trying to find out what was different between him and herself.
Just as Shizuka Mishima peeked at Kosaihei from time to time, he suddenly said, "Miss Mishima, is there anything wrong with you?" β
When Gong Xiping spoke, his eyes were still staring at the book, and he didn't even raise his head. Shizuka Mishima was taken aback by Gongxiping's sudden questioning, and then her face flushed, and she stammered a little, "Oh, no...... It's okay, it's nothing...... Nothing. As soon as she was nervous, she brought out her hometown dialect.
Gong Xiping raised his head, looked at Shizuka Mishima, who was full of embarrassment, and said lightly: "Miss Mishima, I don't understand Fuso." β
Shizuka Mishima was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, she was so nervous just now that she forgot to speak Chinese with Gong Xiping. So she smiled a little awkwardly and said in Chinese, "Sorry, I forgot." β
Gong Xiping glanced at the book in her hand, and said with some surprise: "Miss Mishima, are you reading Chinese?" β
Shizuka Mishima glanced down at the book in her hand, then smiled slightly, and said, "Sister Noriko has asked me to learn Chinese since I was a child, and I also learned Chinese in college. It's just that I'm stupid and not as proficient as Sister Noriko. β
"Sister Noriko?" Gong Xiping was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't Dr. Mishima your grandmother?" β
Shizuka Mishima's face was slightly red again, and she said a little shyly: "Sister Noriko doesn't allow me to call her grandma, saying that this will call her old." Moreover, she is not actually my real grandmother, she is my grandmother's real sister. β
Gong Xiping was slightly surprised and said, "Dr. Mishima is not your own grandmother?" But you look alike. β
"Sister Noriko and my biological grandmother are twin sisters."
Gong Xiping suddenly said: "I see. β
"However, I don't have much of an impression of my biological grandmother. Because she passed away not long after giving birth to my father, and my father passed on to Sister Noriko. β
Gong Xiping nodded, listening to Shizuka Mishima's narration. After chatting with Gongxiping for a few words, Shizuka Mishima is not as shy and shy as before, and her psychological baggage has been put down a lot.
"Whether it's my father or I, although it's not Sister Kiko's own child, she treats us like her own. Moreover, she also taught me a lot of things and taught me to learn Chinese. β
"Looks like you're in a good relationship."
At the mention of Noriko Mishima, Shizuka Mishima had an expression of infinite yearning on her face, and said, "My greatest wish is to be able to become an excellent female surname like Noriko's sister." β
Gong Xiping thought for a moment and asked, "Then did Dr. Mishima mention to you about Professor Guan?" β
Shizuka Mishima shook her head and said, "Sister Noriko rarely talks about herself, and it is inconvenient for my father and I to ask her. The only thing that is known is that she is the only one in the Mishima family who has never been married. β
"The Mishima family?" Gong Xiping's heart moved slightly.
Shizuka Mishima nodded and said, "Yes, the Mishima family." Aunt Noriko and I, as well as my father, are all members of the Mishima family. Our Mishima family is one of the largest families in Fuso, with many large industries and multinational groups under its umbrella. The economic lifeline of Fuso is mainly in the hands of several large families, and our Mishima family is also one of them. β
"In this way, your Mishima family has a pivotal position in Fuso."
Shizuka Mishima heard Kosaihei's words, and her face couldn't help but be filled with a little pride. She said with a smile: "In Fuso, as long as the surname is Mishima, they will be treated with different degrees of courtesy. I've always been proud to be a member of the Mishima family. β
Gong Xiping nodded lightly and didn't say anything. It seems that the Mishima family not only has a powerful economic group in Fuso, but also has considerable political resources. However, these have nothing to do with him, so they can only be regarded as a topic of conversation during chatting.
After this conversation, Shizuka Mishima has completely lost her previous shyness and has completely let go. She showed a sweet smile and said, "Gong Xisan, what does your family do?" β
"My family?" Gongxi said flatly, "I don't have a family, I was brought up by my master." β
"Ah, I'm really sorry, I don't know." Shizuka Mishima hurriedly said apologetically.
Gongxi smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it." β
"You must be lonely, aren't you?"
"Lonely?"
"I don't see happiness in your eyes, only a faint sorrow, and some decadence." Shizuka Mishima said with a serious face.
Gong Xiping couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although he doesn't have a good impression of Fusang, the little girl in front of him is very simple and a little cute.
"Maybe. However, although I don't have family, I do have friends. β
"Friends?"
"Yes, friend."
Shizuka Mishima had an undisguised yearning expression on her face, she supported her chin with her right hand, and asked, "How can I have friends?" β
"Haven't you ever made friends?"
Shizuka Mishima shook her head and said, "No." β
Gong Xiping was slightly stunned and said, "What about the school?" There's always a classmate in school, right? β
"There are classmates, but everyone is afraid of me, because I am from the Mishima family, and no one dares to approach me." Shizuka Mishima said with some resentment.
When Gong Xiping heard this, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her. He thought for a moment and said, "Making friends is actually very simple, just two words: communication. β
"Communication? How should I communicate? β
"To put it simply, communication is chatting."
"Like we are now?"
Gong Xiping nodded and said, "That's right, just like we are now." β
Shizuka Mishima looked at Kosaihei with wide eyes and said, "So you can make friends?" β
Gong Xiping shook his head and said, "It's not enough to just chat, you have to open your heart." β
"Open...... Heart? How can you open your heart? β
"It's actually very simple, it's to share happiness and sorrow with others."
"Share...... How do you do that? β
"Let me give you an example. For example, if you have any sad past or any secrets that you don't want people to know, tell them all about it, and that's sharing. β
"Is that just sharing?" Shizuka Mishima said thoughtfully.
"Yes, that's the only way to make true friends. Making friends is not just about waiting for others to come to you, but about taking the initiative to communicate and communicate with others. Open your heart, communicate with people sincerely, share with people, and you will be able to make friends. β
"I was going to tell my secret...... "Shizuka Mishima whispered to herself.
"If you want to make friends, you must first be sincere."
Shizuka Mishima smiled sweetly, "I see, thank you, Gong Xisan." β
"It's nothing, it's just a casual chat."
Shizuka Mishima nodded, then lowered her head and stopped talking. Gong Xiping didn't understand why she suddenly fell silent, thinking that she didn't want to talk any more, so she continued to look down at her book.
Just after reading a few lines of words, I heard Shizuka Mishima suddenly say: "Gong Xisan! β
Gong Xiping was stunned for a moment, and raised his head to look at her. I saw Shizuka Mishima with a serious look, and then said as if she had made a lot of determination: "Gong Xisan, I have a secret to tell you!" β
Gong Xiping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then wanted to stop her. However, before she could stop it, Shizuka Mishima had already said: "When I was seven years old, I secretly wore Noriko's sister's skirt and high heels, and I also smeared her lipstick!" β
Then there was silence.
Is she serious?
Although Gong Xiping has already learned that Shizuka Mishima is a simple little girl who does not understand the world, he really didn't expect that this little girl is too simple. It seems that she made a lot of determination to say it, so it can be seen that this matter should be a very secret thing for her. But if such things can be considered secrets, there is nothing that is not secret. In other words, the secret is a bit too β naΓ―ve.
Although Gong Xiping felt a little speechless in his heart, he would not put anything on his face. Therefore, his expression did not change, but he really didn't know what to say at this time.
After Shizuka Mishima finished speaking, she was also a little apprehensive. This matter has been hidden in her heart for many years, and she has always felt that it is a great shame for children to wear lipstick and wear adult skirts and high heels. Moreover, in the hearts of adults, she has always been a very well-behaved child. Doing such a thing, she felt that she could no longer be considered a good child. So, she never told anyone about it. And the reason why she mentioned it to Gong Xiping, on the one hand, is because Gong Xiping is an outsider, even if she knows, it doesn't matter, on the other hand, she understands Gong Xiping's words as long as she tells her secret and can become a friend, so she will say it.
The two were silent for a while, and Shizuka Mishima saw that Gong Xiping had not reacted, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Gong Xisan, ...... I'll be able to make friends this way, right? β
Regarding Shizuka Mishima's simple thinking, Kosaihei was completely speechless. He coughed dryly and said, "This...... It should be ok. β
Shizuka Mishima breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Then I and Gong Xi-san are friends?" β
"Me?"
"Yes, I've already told Gong Xisan the secret, isn't that Gong Xisang's friend?"
Gong Xiping was speechless for a while. He said helplessly, "Miss Mishima, why did you tell me the secret?" Belch...... Or rather, why do you want to be friends with me? β
Shizuka Mishima's face was a little red for no reason, and she said faintly: "I don't know, maybe it's because Gong Xisan feels more kind." β
"Kind? I? Gong Xiping pointed to his nose.
Shizuka Mishima nodded and said, "Yes, although I have just met Kosai-san and don't talk much, I feel that you should be a reliable and kind person. So, I think I should be able to be friends with you. β
Gong Xiping was silent, he really didn't know what to say. For people he is not familiar with, he is reluctant to make deep friends. But Shizuka Mishima is relatively simple, so whether he refuses or accepts, he feels inappropriate. So he didn't know what to say now.
Seeing that Gong Xiping was silent again, Shizuka Mishima was a little anxious, and she said: "Gong Xisan, didn't you say it just now, if you want to make friends, you must take the initiative to open your heart and tell your secrets." β
"Uh...... That's right......" Gong Xiping said helplessly.
"That is, you ...... You don't want to be friends with me? Shizuka Mishima's expression suddenly darkened.
"No, no, that's not ......"
"Would you like to be friends with me?"
"This ......" Gong Xiping could only say helplessly, "Okay, we can make friends." β
Shizuka Mishima's smile like a spring breeze suddenly brightened up the entire auditorium, as if it was like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, making people feel extremely warm.
Shizuka Mishima clapped her hands lightly and said happily, "Great, I finally made a friend." Unexpectedly, my first friend was actually a foreigner, and he was also a citizen of country Z. β
Gongxi said flatly: "I didn't expect that I would actually have a friend of Fusang." β
"It's wonderful. I must tell Sister Noriko that she likes country Z the most. She often said that if it was possible, she really wanted to be a Z person. β
"Does Dr. Mishima like country Z so much?"
"I love it. In addition to her in-depth study of the Chinese language, she also has a lot of research on culture, art, calligraphy, painting, etc., and she also likes it very much. β
"Unexpectedly, Dr. Mishima is still a versatile person."
"Sister Noriko is a rare genius in the family in a hundred years. She can be said to be an all-rounder, excellent in all fields. And what she likes the most and is best at is the study of the brain domain. So, she eventually became a scientist specializing in brain research. However, it is said that she used to be a brain doctor before becoming a scientist. β
"Brain doctor?"
"Well, but that's what I've heard, and Sister Noriko herself never mentioned the past, so I don't know if it's true. However, whether it's true or not, whether it's a neurologist or a scientist, I think it's all amazing. I will definitely be like Sister Noriko in the future, and I will be as good as her! β
Gongxi smiled indifferently and said, "Miss Mishima, you are still young, and you must be better than Dr. Mishima." β
