Chapter Twenty-Six: Trance

"You don't need to worry about that, do you?"

Li Xinmu didn't want to answer my question.

"If you know something, it will be convenient for everything, and you can solve it well, right?"

"You're too presumptuous to say that, aren't you?"

Li Xinmu is still holding his cheeks.

"Whether it's you or Sikong Yu, whether it's a person concerned or an outsider, whether it's close or distant, there's no reason why you have to say it, right?"

Eh, am I the kind of person I'm close to?

No, no, no, how can you think about this now.

"But ······"

"If you don't want to say it, don't force it, it's better, it's better to eat it."

Sikong Yu interrupted me, sincere and humble.

"Yes~"

The result is Li Xinmu's direct refusal, so can it only be regarded as a meal today?

Ah, but this eggplant is really delicious as always!

"I'll go get some more."

Thinking that these are all my money, I suddenly have an inexplicable sense of loss, so I actually didn't get anything?

"Ah, thanks, and I want to eat eggplant."

Li Xinmu added an additional order, but if you take a closer look like this?

"So you have a ribbon?"

"Huh! It's just a casual tie. ”

If you add a ribbon to a single ponytail, isn't it a little strange that the strap is a little thin?

"As I thought, is there any other color?"

"No, no!"

It's fried again.

The next day, Li Xinmu and I went to the school together, and my arrival time was still on time and not late, so it can be said that Li Xinmu didn't get up early for a long time.

"Yo~"

In fact, I arrived at school very early, so I thought it was a little strange that Li Xinmu arrived earlier than me at that time.

But now it's back to the way it was, isn't it, but sometimes it's better to stick with some things you want to do for a while. Although I don't really understand why Li Xinmu suddenly got up early, I can't be sure if she wants to stick to it or just doesn't plan so much.

"Well, it's early~"

Li Xinmu looks very good today, is there anything happier about it?

"Today, you were unexpectedly happy, you?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing~"

Hey, isn't that super fun?

"Eh, the ribbon has changed color again."

"Well, this is my previous bundle, and if I take it out and use it now, I can almost change it all the time."

Hey, what does it mean to change all the time, but I still think the solid color looks better when I look at this pattern.

"There's no solid color like yesterday, and if there are patterns, I still think it's more cute."

"Is that so?"

"Don't ask me, why do you want to ask me about this kind of thing."

"I think it's cute things Lu Yu doesn't think, so everyone doesn't think either, this kind of thing still has to be shown to you, so it's better to listen to your suggestions a little, okay?"

In other words, it's for me, too? Eh hey hey.

"You don't have to care so much about other people's eyes, this kind of thing doesn't matter, and Li Xinmu is very cute, so don't worry about this."

"Well, by the way, can you wait for me after today's event?"

"Eh, what's the matter, I don't have anything else to do, so it's fine."

"Well, I'll give you something after school, so look forward to it."

Eh, will you give me something? My first reaction was that today is a special day, but in fact, today is not a holiday and there are no inexplicable strange anniversaries, so what is it?

Will you still give me something, a little lucky?

"What's it, wait a minute, if you want me to look forward to it, let's ask what special day it is."

If it is Li Xinmu's calendar, the number of festivals may be surprisingly large, right?

Having said that, the current festival is really inexplicably frequent, always today's festival, tomorrow's festival. Some are festivals, some are anniversaries, and some are still some inexplicable days, even if they are set randomly.

So what is it?

"About yesterday's dinner in return."

Is this kind of thing a gift in return, but in any case, receiving a gift is a happy thing, isn't it?

Thinking like this, I kept smiling a little, but then I realized that the gift hadn't been delivered to me yet. It's not too early to be so happy, it's a bit dangerous, and it's definitely strange to be happy in an inexplicable place.

But Li Xinmu's words, maybe he wouldn't think so, if he could understand.

"It's okay, you don't have to laugh."

The original smile is still hanging, it's really useless, I, I can't even do such a little thing.

"I thought I should be happy here, so I laughed, but it's weird, right?

"No, Lu Yu, I'm very happy if you can be so happy."

Ah, it's really Li Xinmu. No, it seems that Li Xinmu will be captured by some alien or replaced by some organization.

"Of course I'll be happy, and you gave it away, but I haven't got it yet, so I'm looking forward to it~"

yes, I'm looking forward to it.

"Don't look forward to it, and don't continue to smile like that, okay?"

Hey, I'm sorry about that.

I've been imagining this all day.

Well, yes, I'm struggling with what this gift is, if it's usually something like a simple return gift or something to eat, right? Cakes or something, but Li Xinmu's words may not send these.

Ah, what is it?

The best answer is to give yourself to me, no, why would I think about that?

After the club activities ended, I waited in the activity room for Li Xinmu to come back, and she just said that she was going to get a gift, and she looked mysterious.

"I'll go first, Lu Yu, you have to remember to lock the door~"

Mr. Yuwen left early as always, but suddenly he hadn't been to the activity room for a while, and now it's a little strange to think about it.

"Okay~ But there's nothing to lose, right?"

It's just a psychological counseling room.,Although I say so, there are still some things that can't be thrown away.,So I touched the key in my trouser pocket.,Some slippery and some cold.,Its sawtooth style is very classical.,Or is it very backward.,Ah,Isn't this lock very safe when you think about it?

Can you find a time to apply for a replacement, anyway, when is this a thing?

"Ahh

Li Xinmu's voice came in from outside the house, but I didn't see her, only a white shadow staggered outside the window, swaying in the wind like a corn with shallow roots.

And I became a peasant who couldn't stand it, trying to set it right.

"Yes, who is it!"

Even though I already know who it is, I still want to play it at this time.

"Kumakuni white です~"

Wow, Li Xinmu is so cute, this bear is so familiar.

This bear is equal to its body, even higher than Li Xinmu, Li Xinmu hugged the cute white bear from behind and gently shook the bear while talking in a cute voice.

Hmm, but I still seem to have seen this bear somewhere?

Wait, this bear?

"Hey, Li Xinmu, is this bear the one I helped you get last time?"

"Ah, yes."

Stuffed the bear into my arms all of a sudden, Li Xinmu gasped on the side, it seemed that he was indeed a little tired, holding this big white bear or something.

"If you can't let me take it again this time?"

"No, I said I was going to surprise you."

Li Xinmu, who insists on this place, is unexpectedly cute, but it's better not to let the other party know if you give someone something old, not to mention that I already knew it.

Although this may reduce the effect of the gift, I am very happy to receive the gift from Li Xinmu.

"Hey, aren't you surprised?"

"Ah, I'm so happy—"

"What is this strange stick reading, Lu Yu, your expression is not quite right now, obviously the original words still look quite normal, and I will always make inexplicable expressions in inexplicable places recently."

"Ah, I've noticed it too, but if you don't make an expression, it will be too much, isn't it, just like if you don't have fun receiving a gift, you don't deserve to hold it. It's really troublesome.,I didn't need to care about these things before.,Now I'm thinking more and more, but the expressions are still only so few or something.。 ”

It's really funny.,About the fact that I tried to make something.,I really don't want to be told by others.。

"But you feel happy, don't you?"

"Well, but not being able to make expressions is not what I want, this world is so troublesome."

"It's okay, don't speak ill of the world! Also, it's enough to be happy in your heart, and it's really pitiful if you don't even feel it in your heart. ”

"That's not right, expression is a very important thing, if there is no expression, the communication efficiency of human beings will drop a lot~"

"Then don't force our Lu Yu, right?"

Hmm, what, what······ What our land is left or something.

Hmm.

But in fact, I can feel that my = face has not changed at all, well, if the attribute of facial paralysis is cute, then I'm really sorry. It's really not a good thing if you're paralyzed all the time, and there's no way to let others know whether you're happy or unhappy, except to say it.

But the words that come out are always inappropriate, so if you say facial paralysis or something, it's a demon that will erase your emotions. When you can't make expressions about any feelings, others can't get feedback or anything.

The pain of practicing various expressions in the mirror, when I encounter a crying scene when watching a bitter drama, I have to separate two hearts, one is responsible for understanding the plot and is also responsible for being tear-jerking by the plot, and the other is recognizing other people's expressions without emotion, these are the same for other comedies or whatnot.

But it's a lot of trouble and tiring, so I only occasionally learn how other people have to look at their expressions.

And the truth is that I'm not an actor at all, so I try to show the same expression as a normal person and sometimes I'm always criticized.

And I also try to avoid having to make facial expressions, in junior high school, the image of Gao Leng is still circulating around me, but there will be a day when it is exposed, after I make a few key expressions wrong, I get inexplicable alienation and attention.

Alienation and attention are not contradictory, and sometimes attention is also a kind of alienation. My classmates are very gentle and kind people, and they all want to show that they don't care about me so much in front of me, and they all want to not hurt me or anything.

I know and am very touched by all this, but this inexplicable feeling is always like a monkey in a cage for everyone to see.

Like, looking at the poor stray dog's eyes.

It's not right, it's not right.

Obviously there's nothing, isn't it, there's no difference, I'm neither more nor less, and even if I meet someone like this, I won't be so inexplicably estranged.

This sense of distance is not being bullied or looked down upon.

Rather, it's simply pitiful.

Oh no, why did you do this to me. Wouldn't it be nice to do the same as before, eat together and go to school together, go to places we shouldn't go to play together, and do stupid things together that we only do at this time.

Why did you suddenly leave me?

Why?

"You, are you alright?"

"Ahh

"Huh?"

"Did something just happen?"

What just happened?

"It's nothing, it's just that you suddenly buried your head in vain and didn't speak, and I didn't dare to do anything, but in the end I still thought it would be better to call you or something."

"Ah, it's okay, I just thought of something ridiculous."

"If you have something to say, I've been asked by you, about a psychological counselor or something, it's over, wouldn't I be with you until you get well."

"Hey, don't say it's like a deed of sale."

This bear may be "very difficult" for Li Xinmu, but for me it is only "a little troublesome".

"Thank you, but why did you suddenly think of giving it to me?"

It's really a difficult thing to put this bear that Li Xinmu called "Baibai" on the bicycle.

"Ah, you ask this, I bought a new one so I can't put this one down, but it's very troublesome to bring it back and I don't really want to do it, so I decided to give it away after thinking about it!"

Hey, that's the case, it's really unpleasant. But if you want to give it away, it's a good thing to be the first target.

"Is that so?"

"Hey, your expression is subtle, so forget it."

"Eh, okay~"
