Chapter 715: First Arrival at Kaohsiung's House
(a)
I stood on the edge of the basketball court in a trance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I don't know how I got here, and I don't remember what time it was.
I was like a cloud drifting directionlessly through the city, and right here, attracted by some kind of warmth, turned into a downpour, and landed on the ground.
I watched in a blur as Kaohsiung dribbled, jumped, shot, hooked the hoop and dangled back to the ground.
I looked at the snow on the edge of the field and the plush tracksuit on his body.
I feel like it's all like a poorly painted print, false and distorted. And between me and all these scenes, there is also a picture frame barrier, which cannot blend into each other.
I don't like the world, and everything in it.
I want to go back to the good old days, and seal myself inside, frozen like the 10,000-year-old ice of Antarctica.
However, even the ice in Antarctica will melt one day.
I stood on the edge of the field, thinking about it one after another.
At this moment, Kaohsiung saw me from afar. He dropped the basketball in his hand and ran quickly towards me.
"Heart? Is that you? When did you come? ā
Takohsiung stood in front of me with a hot steam on his head. He stared at me.
He said, "What's the matter, so pale?" What kind of look is this? Did you just see a ghost? ā

I sat in the extremely spacious living room of my home in Kaohsiung.
I saw the tall domes and Roman columns, the large paintings of flowers, and the nude women with their backs to the screen. I saw the piano, and the fireplace.
It's so empty that it feels cold, like a person going to an empty old palace.
I couldn't help but shudder.
This is my first time in Kaohsiung.
A steaming cup was handed to me.
"Let's sit down and have a cup of warm fruit milk. Pressure shock? Kaohsiung was holding a white towel in his hand. Wiping his sweat, he handed me a glass with a straw inserted into it.
He looked at me and said, "You just looked like a rabbit with a broken soul." ā
He said, "Little White Rabbit." ā
I couldn't help but bite my lip.
I lowered my head and silently drank the hot fruit milk, but I only felt cold and did not know the taste.
Kaohsiung sat down on the couch across from me, and he bent over to look at me as if he were studying a virus under a microscope.
His tone suddenly warmed.
He said: "Is it because he is in a very bad condition? ā
I sat with my head bowed. There is no way to speak.
He said, "You just freaked out? ā
My tears fell on the back of my hand.
He looked at me with tears welling up in his eyes.
He stood up, and he threw a TV remote in my arms.
He said, "I went upstairs to wash, changed my clothes and went over. I was there at night to keep watch over there. If you need to, you can take care of him over there these days. ā
He looked at me. He said, "You can watch TV here, wait a minute." I'll be fine soon. Let's go together, you can go home with confidence, and I will take care of him. ā
He said, "Don't be afraid. I have all things. ā
He said, "Men are there to help girls at this time. ā
I choked up several times. Finally, before he walked out of the living room, he said two words: "Thank you." ā

I walked to a fork in the road with Kaohsiung.
Walking next to him, his burly and tall figure gave me a great sense of intimidation, but it also made me feel confident and safe.
Kaohsiung said: "Xinxin, leave everything to me, you can go back with confidence." As a son and brother who doesn't do his job, I don't really have anything to do these days, and I can take care of him. My mom can come and see him in the evening. If he's in a very bad condition, we'll take him to the hospital. ā
Again, I said, "Thank you." ā
Kaohsiung said: "Don't be so polite. He's also a good friend of mine. ā
He looked at my tear-stained face and said, "Wipe your face clean and don't let people see the traces of tears." ā
He said, "Go back and get a good night's sleep." Tomorrow I will have a good cram class, do whatever I have to do, and I will try to tell you the news, whether the situation is good or bad. ā
I nodded. I opened my palms. I whispered, "His key there." He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up and open the door. I brought his keys out. ā
Kaohsiung took the key from the palm of my hand. He looked at the small fish braid on the key.
He said, "You made it up?" ā
I said, "Hmm. ā
He said, "Have you ever considered making one up for me when you have time?" The fish is too weak, make me a leopard, or a cobra? ā
I looked up, glanced at him plaintively, and bit my lip again.
"I just want you to be happy," he said. ā
"However, I overestimated myself," he said. It's impossible. Right. ā
"Only he can make you happy," he said. In this world, he is the only one who can make you happy and make you sad. ā
He said, "Right? ā

Kaohsiung sits on the edge of your bed. The analgesics are now working. Your face is still a little pale, but it looks much better than when I left.
You say, "Why are you here?" ā
Kaohsiung said: "It hurts like this, and you don't give me a call." ā
You say, "I have to be able to get up and go downstairs to find the phone." ā
Kaohsiung sighed and said, "Sage, you can ask someone to help." ā
You smile weakly and say, "I didn't have this habit before, and I often couldn't remember what was going on." ā
Kaohsiung sighed again. He said, "At this time, you are still thinking about what trouble you don't want to trouble others. ā
You say, "Did the heart come to you?" ā
Kaohsiung nodded.
You say, "How is she?" ā
Kaohsiung said, "What else? A girl. She was frightened and looked a little dazed. She was so sad that she couldn't speak. ā
You say, "She's crying." ā
Kaohsiung said: "Yes. Her face was full of tears. She looked desperate. ā
You are silent.
After a while, you say, "It is a blessing to die peacefully." ā
Kaohsiung said: "I couldn't agree more. Even if it is for the sake of the people around us not to suffer, we have a responsibility to die peacefully. ā
You say, "Let her heart, in the face of all suffering, always remain at peace, this is the most complete serenity." ā
Kaohsiung said: "How can you make a female hacker stay peaceful in this situation? ā
Say, "There is no difference between men and women, and there is no difference between hearts." We made the peace of mind and showed it to her. She's a perceptive girl, and she'll understand. ā
You look at Kaohsiung. You say, "Help me?" ā
Kaohsiung said: "Despite the command." ā
You say, "Help her when I can't do it." ā
Kaohsiung said: "Don't think about it, it's still early on the day you leave." Wouldn't it be better for you to help her yourself? ā
You say, "That day is getting closer." And she may have a very long life. ā
You say, "There are only two things in my heart, and I have concerns about them, and I can't let them go categorically." Except for her parents, it's her. ā
You say, "I'm afraid she'll not be able to get over this." She needs help, from a friend she trusts. She, Qu Gao and widow, doesn't have too many friends with a heart. ā
Kaohsiung said: "I know. ā
Kaohsiung said: "Don't worry, I'm here." If anything, I mean, if you want to take care of it, I'll do it for you. No matter how long, even for life, I will never let her fall into loneliness and grief alone. ā
You stretched out your hand to Kaohsiung. You say, "Thank you." ā
Kaohsiung holds your hand and says, "It's a promise." I am a man of my word. ā
Your hands are clasped tightly with each other.
You say, "I know you're going to do well." ā
Kaohsiung said: "However, she will not accept me as she accepts you. I'm not attractive enough. ā
You say, "She's bound to be influenced by you." Your care will surely reach her. ā
Kaohsiung said: "I hope so, and it will live up to your expectations today." ā
You say, "I know you have a lot of ways to attract her." ā

It should be on that day that you officially entrust my future, the future that no longer has you, to Kaohsiung.
Kaohsiung made a promise to you.
What he promised, he has always delivered.
He was indeed a man of his word.
No matter what others say about him, in my heart, he is like that.
