Episode 458 Shorty's Miscellaneous Thoughts
"Even if Master has the power to surpass the Dark Ancestral God, with his mortal body, it is difficult to control this power, and now he is like a time bomb with an invisible countdown, which could destroy this world at any time......"
Before hearing these words, Huangye Temple was still skeptical of Yao Jiuwu's words, but now he completely believed it.
At night, he lay in bed and recalled that long nightmare again.
"Is it easy for others to get what I can't get with all my hard work......? Let's not talk about the future, but let's talk about what happened so far......
"Growing up is really the purest joy for children, especially boys, except for children with gigantism, probably no one wants to be short. Tall children will always gain a sense of superiority in comparison, and correspondingly short children will also feel inferiority. Unfortunately, since I was a child, I was the shortest one in the class, and as a result, I was bullied by other children, and I was secretly envious of those tall classmates, and when there were finally one or two boys in the class who were shorter than me, of course I would secretly rejoice that I had finally found a cushion.
"When I was in the upper grades of elementary school, I finally started to jump, and I grew at a rate of 710 cm almost every year for the past three years, and although other classmates were also growing, I gradually found that I was taller than five or six of my classmates, and I also felt the joy of growing up. I had three cousins, and the shortest of them was 175, and in two years my puberty was going to begin, so I started to wonder how tall I could be, if only I could grow to 180. ”
"When I was in junior high school, my body began to undergo all kinds of terrible changes, and what I learned in health education classes is probably the so-called secondary sex characteristics. However, I also learned the term precocious puberty in my health education class. I heard that precocious people don't grow much when they reach puberty, so I began to worry: I grew so tall in the first two years, am I precocious? I wish I was thinking too much, but after entering the second year of junior high school, I gradually found that I had become the shortest one in the class again. I watched as the short boy became taller than me, and the tall boy became taller, and I could only envy and wary of the ridicule of others.
"Even at this time, my mother said that I was a late bloomer and that I would grow again in two years, but in fact, I knew it all in my heart. Sure enough, when I got to high school, my height started to stagnate. By the way, when I measured my bone age, I actually said that my bone age was 19 years old, which is not called precocious puberty but can it be said to be late maturity?"
Thinking of this, Huangye Temple sighed deeply.
"I don't care so much about my height now, after all, height doesn't mean everything, and I'm not particularly short among my peers, it's just ...... Whenever I see my classmates who used to be shorter than me and then taller than me, or children who are unconsciously taller than me, I always have an indescribable feeling in my heart......
"No, I seem to be able to describe the feeling now...... In fact, I always have this hunch, that is, will my height growth process set the tone for my future life? That's right, this is it!"
At this time, Huangye Temple was like solving a difficult math problem, and it suddenly became enlightened, and the body couldn't help but lie to one side.
"The same is true of my studies, I am learning English very well now, but in fact, this self-confidence is obviously not as good as when I was in primary school and junior high school, and those who have not learned English as well as me, if they open their minds one day, they will also get results that are difficult for me to achieve in the college entrance examination. I'm precocious, I'm at the starting line, so at the beginning I can get fruit that others can't reach, but others have more potential than me, and one day they get more delicious fruit from higher places, and I can only watch. That long dream made me vaguely feel that I might be such a person with insufficient stamina in my studies, growing older year by year, but not feeling that I have become smarter at all......
"But ......"
Huangye Temple curled up and got into the bed.
"I'm afraid! I'm afraid!
"I'm afraid that others will be better than me! they will take away the fruit I want, they will block the scenery I want to see, they ...... If only they disappeared from this world!"
Suddenly, Huangye Temple sat up in shock.
"I had such a terrible thought just now...... he said to himself, and slowly lay back under the covers.
"Haha......" he couldn't help but laugh.
"Really, it is said that the growth of adolescence is a mixture of joy and trouble, why do I only feel trouble?
"As the guy said, I'm really jealous...... Jealous people are very annoying, can I continue to be your friend, Xiaobai?"
"By the way, your friend surnamed Bai, you should know very well what his relationship is with me, right? Originally, he was the one who had to die, but as long as you are willing to listen to me, I can let him live, and I also allow you to stay here until you graduate from high school, and you can graduate happily with him......"
Huangye Temple suddenly remembered what Yao Jiuwu said, and his hand couldn't help but grasp the quilt.
"That guy doesn't even know if talking counts...... Now that I have the power, I'm going to protect you, and when you're safe, it's almost time for me to leave...... You're going to leave me sooner or later...... Because that's not what life is all about?"
At this time, he still remembered the dream, and he had forgotten the existence of Bai Yun for several years before he met Bai Yun in the dream.
"No matter how good a friend is, one day they will be separated, and then they will meet their new friends on their own life paths, forming their own life circles, and then their respective families......
"But my future seems to have nothing but my dream of becoming a teacher......"
Huangye Temple stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, and before he knew it, two lines of tears slipped down.
"So, it's not necessarily a bad thing for me to go back to that world...... I think it's good that way, our destiny is to hate each other, but we can be friends for life, although we will never see each other again for the rest of our lives......"
Huangye Temple wiped away his tears and covered his eyes with his arms. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly took his hand and opened his eyes.
I saw that it was a space full of numbers.
"Where am I? Is this another dream, or am I going to travel back in time?"
