Chapter 422: A Promise Brokered by a Boot
It was a completely clueless problem, and Will felt for a moment that he was caught in the trap of talking with him.
In fact, it shouldn't be a predicament, but the man said a word that made him not react for a while, such is very common, like tears, and like a moment of sluggishness, like a daydream when he is quiet and self-conscious, carved and rich in the week of self-imagination, after waking up or happy or not possessed by the soul, but what cannot be changed is that this daydream is always inadvertently unchanging, brazen day after day, seemingly peaceful and moderate, but he feels troubled, There is even some fear of such emotions, which is completely because he does not want to.
He didn't want to break his promise again, he didn't want to do something that could only be called troublesome and superfluous again, he didn't know why, he only knew that he wanted to achieve every request and goal made by the other party, not to make amends, but to repay.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him, but he has received a little favor and help from the other party, and the other party is not the kind of bad character who will use this to blackmail him, but so what? It doesn't constitute a big reason, and the way he will do it is nothing more than a little bit of what he can, and it is not much different from the exchange of courtesies - if this is in normal times, he actually only needs to use a little money to get rid of it, if he is a little more shameless, he can repay the harm, even if he can't do it, but there are still many such people in life, they know that they don't have a strong lethality but still always show such self-confidence, but they are not willing to lower themselves. Unwilling to be the only one who must hold back the fire, they arm themselves with hysterical violence, through all the bitterness and fear, and the scattered self-esteem.
In fact, Will knows very well that those so-called dismissals are just to pursue his own psychological comfort, and this time, the other party has obviously said that he doesn't need to do anything, but inexplicably, this time he just wants to repay him, or he wants to help him achieve a wish.
He felt. This fresh feeling can only be felt when confronted with this person.
Is it because of what he just said?
…… Perhaps! Sometimes. One sentence is enough to change the world.
And when he was puzzled this time, he found himself crazy and wanted to see what kind of scenery would become if he continued to develop like this.
He wanted to see himself, the self he had hidden for a long time. Even more smoky miasma. It's a mess.
Who doesn't want to see it?
Who wouldn't have such curiosity?
It's just a small lack of motivation...... Of course. Sometimes it can also be resistance.
Will let out a long breath, he felt that there was nothing he could do for a moment when his thoughts were chaotic, and this time it seemed like it had taken him a little longer to sort it out. (Sheng Xiaohuan lowered his head and lowered his eyes: No.) You can think about it every time. )
From beginning to end, he didn't hear a single urging, just quietly looked at himself and waited for an answer, Will felt that this man's patience was very good, in fact, from the beginning, this man's attitude towards himself was very relaxed, and he had always been relaxed, not that he didn't care, but that he was a little uninhibited and careless.
Thinking about it like this, it's like I'm the only one who can't hold my breath, but ...... It's really strange that this heart, which is prone to gains and losses, originally made me feel the most grounded, but this time I couldn't find a suitable place to put it.
"I'm sorry...... Can you repeat it again? ”
The corners of the man's mouth curled instantly, and he didn't seem surprised by such an answer, he still stayed in the tree, the distance between the two was neither short nor long, but for some reason, no matter how much the man changed the height of his gaze from the ground, Will felt that there was no change between them—neither near nor far.
"I say, you only have one boot left on your foot, what about the other boot? …… I don't think you'd be careless enough to lose it like the pudding! ”
Hearing this, Will's first reaction was - it turns out that this guy doesn't hate pudding so much! (Sheng Xiaohuan is puzzled: Where did you deduce it from?) And then he blushed.
Some angrily shouted at him, "It's because the owner of this flask refuses to let go even when he is asleep!" That's why I took off my boots and used them as a substitute for a while! ”
The man laughed even more exaggeratedly, and Will wondered if he was talking too much like the little hamster's goofy expression when he was foraging for food.
"Why don't you use his shoes? It should be more convenient! The man didn't cover his mouth, but the muffled chuckle lessened the lawlessness a little.
Will was stunned, yes! Is he stupid? Why use your own? Just use that guy's own? Isn't it right next to the bed? Does it stink? No, it's not what he wants to hear...... But he still didn't want to admit that he was off the line, so Will just raised his face coolly, so that his eyes were full of confidence, "This is an equivalent exchange!" I took his flask and deserved to leave him my boots! ”
"Poof—"
Although it was very far-fetched, Will felt that the smile he heard in that second was definitely not something he faked.
"It's almost dawn, shouldn't you ......?"
"Oh! You didn't remind me that I almost forgot! Damn it's my turn to work the morning shift today! Tell and talk to yourself in Will's expression is silly indistinguishable, "Are you still here?" ”
In fact, he also felt a little unreliable when he asked, who would stay in this tree all the time? But he just needed something that seemed like an agreement to keep him afloat...... Otherwise, he feared that he would lose all traces of this man.
"I'm not going to stay here forever."
"That's it?"
"How did you get this answer?" The man smiled again, this smile is really handsome...... Reminds him of the star at the top of the creamy Christmas tree next to the little Santa Claus on the Christmas cake last night...... (Sheng Xiaohuan: ...... )
Will didn't answer, "You'll still be waiting for me here!" ”
His eyes are wet again, and sometimes Will is really girlish!
"I don't come here very often."
Will was quite pleased with the answer, "Got it. ”
Then he ran away merrily, though he wore only one boot and one foot was still exposed, but it was indeed cheerful, as could be seen by the series of irregular footprints he had left behind!
It wasn't until he smiled and put the flask and boots back in their place, when he was guiltless in the face of his drunkard roommate who had no idea that he had slept with his boots for the night, when he had a piece of toast left over for breakfast for the first time, and when he finished his patrol with a somewhat giggle, that he realized that he had forgotten a more important question!
Does that man choose that tree every time! (To be continued.) )
