Chapter 40: Smiles
"Chubby, Chubby."
As 'nimble fatty' passed by Pedy's pastry shop, he was stopped by Mrs. Pedy.
"Auntie......"
The fat man stopped, raised his head and looked sad with tears on his face.
"Ugh."
Mrs. Peddy sighed, invited the fat man into the shop, and the two sat down facing each other.
"Chubby, ......"
Mrs. Pedi thought for a moment, and was reassured.
Gillian ...... She...... Actually, it's quite kind, maybe I don't really hate you......"
"I know." Before Mrs. Pedy could finish speaking, the fat man looked up and said.
"Huh?"
The second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat, and Mrs. Pedi was stunned.
What the heck? She's just comforting her, how can she take it seriously?
Taking into account the changes in Mrs. Pedy's eyes, the "nimble fat man" chuckled, supported his chin with one hand, and looked up slightly upwards with a melancholy and deep gaze.
Looking at the fat man, who suddenly seemed to have become much more mature, Mrs. Pedi couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.
"I'm ......"
After a moment of silence, the fat man spoke.
"Auntie should know that it's not from here."
"Hmm."
After a brief loss of consciousness, Lady Pedy regained a kind smile on her face, and looked at the fat man quietly, knowing that the child in front of her needed someone to talk to.
"In that world, I'm not a son of God, just an ugly, lazy, stupid, and cowardly dead fat house."
"Hmm."
"I don't dare to go out, I'm afraid to be ridiculed, I'm afraid to speak loudly, I'm afraid to be hated, I'm afraid to joke, I'm afraid to be misunderstood, I'm afraid to confess, I'm afraid I'm afraid to be rejected......"
"I envy those who are sunny and handsome, envy those who talk boldly on the stage, and envy ...... Those who are not afraid of failure and move forward bravely......"
"Hmm."
"I wanted to change countless times, but I gave up countless times, and I consoled myself that I had no talent and that it was useless to try...... But in reality it's just because of laziness, because of the fear of failure, because of ...... Fear of the pain of studying, sports ......"
"I'm a waste, a complete waste who indulges in games all day, I'm sorry for my parents' upbringing, and I don't deserve the state's subsidies......"
Saying this, the fat man paused, his eyes flickered slightly, and a strange look appeared on his face.
"And then, here I am."
"In this world, I became a child of God, and I had the possibility to change my talent, and learning was no longer accompanied by pain......"
"But even so, I don't want to change, it's too real here......"
"When I was approached by a girl and blushing and afraid to speak, I saw the disdain in the other person's eyes...... I felt a mocking look at me as I stuttered because I hadn't spoken for too long......"
"I'm sorry."
Lady Pedi sighed softly, showing too much weakness in the realm of strength and adventure might indeed be ridiculed.
The 'nimble fat man' shook his head lightly: "It's okay, it's not Auntie's fault. ”
"And ......"
The fat man had a smile on his face, and there was a glint in his eyes, "I met Gillian. ”
"At that time, I had already decided to get out of here after learning a few skills and experiencing what it was like to use magic."
"However, at the Skills Bookstore, I met Gillian who had just cried, she was very beautiful, I was a little nervous and I still spoke very low, and maybe even blushed a little, but ......"
The fat man became excited, and the light in his eyes shone brighter and brighter.
"When I look up, I see ......"
Gillian's smile.
"It's a smile from the heart that doesn't contain any impurities, it's beautiful......"
"For the first time, my body, which has been sensitive to sight and emotion since I was a child, did not have any discomfort......"
As he spoke, the 'nimble fat man' looked at Mrs. Pedy with a smile on his face.
"At that moment, I felt like the whole world was brightening up, and I finally knew what the meaning of my life was......"
"For this reason, I stayed, and ......"
As if thinking of something embarrassing, the fat man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Uh...... During that time, I often wandered around the skill bookstore, peeking ...... Ahem observation motivates Gillian ......"
As he spoke, a touch of unbearability suddenly appeared on the fat man's face.
"Gillian she...... Often crying secretly alone...... At that time, she looked so weak and helpless......"
"Ugh."
Hearing this, Mrs. Pedi also sighed a little heartbroken.
The 'nimble fat man' glanced at Lady Pedy and continued:
"Through a chat, I learned about his father...... Also guessed her pain and stress......"
"However, whenever someone goes to the bookstore to buy a skill book, she still shows that sincere smile, no matter how scoundrel the other party is......"
Speaking of this, the fat man paused, clenched his fists, and his expression became serious.
"At that time, I made a decision, I wanted to change myself, make myself stronger and more capable, become her dependence, let her tears disappear, and only smiles remained......"
"The rest of ......"
The fat man looked up at Mrs. Pedy.
"Hmm."
Mrs. Peddy nodded, the 'nimble fat man' because she often came here to buy the food that Gillian liked, and then she basically looked at it.
The fat man nodded and continued, "Although Gillian kicked me out of the door today, I can feel that she is not ...... from the heart."
"I don't know what she's up to...... But since it's her wish......" said the fat man's expression darkened a little, "I'll follow it." ”
"Ugh."
Mrs. Petdy sighed again and shook her head lightly.
"However, please take care of Gillian more, and if she is in any trouble, please contact me, I live in the residential area to the west, 069."
After the fat man finished explaining, he got up from his chair and smiled again, but it was still a little bitter no matter how he looked at it.
"Thank you, Auntie, today, I'll go back first."
"Hmm."
Mrs. Pedi nodded, and stood up to see her off.
"Goodbye, Auntie."
"Goodbye."
The 'nimble fat man' re-embarked on his journey, his steps much faster, but his back looked a little pitiful no matter how he looked at it......
……
Behind the light curtain, the horror stroked his chin and silently stared at the lonely figure of the fat man.
He's been observing Fat Man for a while, first because he was the first player to settle down and buy a house in Abyss, and then because he was the first player to have feelings for NPCs......
But I didn't expect that he still had such a complicated mental journey......
It's really sad......
Terrible shook his head lightly, slicing through the light curtain.
Although the fat man's plight is very sympathetic, and it may be interesting for a real person to fall in love with an NPC, all the happiness and joy still have to be pursued by oneself......
Time flies......
Inside the light curtain, the night of the world of "The Abyss" has arrived.
"Huh?"
Horror raised his eyebrows, and there was an interesting look in his eyes.
In the light curtain, a fire ignited on the south side of Shenxia Town, accompanied by fierce shouts of killing.
