Song Le'an stared into Dong Zhuo's eyes and slowly asked.
Song Le'an has a good temper, and even when questioning, his tone is not aggressive at all.
Dong Zhuo's eyelids twitched and his limbs felt cold.
Ale had already guessed it.
Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, and a sickly expression appeared on his thin and somewhat pale face.
"Yes, that's what I want to see, Ale, you have many friends, but you are my only friend.
If your friends leave you, then I am your only friend.
I just want to be your only friend, am I wrong?
I've thought about it. Even if I do this, my classmates won't hate you.
They won't show their dislike for you openly, because you are the emperor's grandson, and they will still treat you as a friend!
I won't hurt you, Le, I just want to use this method to make me your only friend!"
Song Le'an looked at Dong Zhuo in confusion, "Aren't we all friends? You know I like making friends. You can't be my only friend!"
Azhuo, you can make friends with me!"
"How is that impossible?! As long as your friends don't consider you a friend anymore, then I'm your only friend, right?!"
Dong Zhuo became excited and his voice became a little louder.
Song Le'an shook his head, "I don't understand why you think this way. I know that your classmates look down on you because of your status as a bastard.
I also know that you look down on your classmates, so I didn't force you to make friends with them like I did.
But you can't use me to hurt them, and then use them to hurt me!
Ah Zhuo, you disappoint me. Think about it carefully. The exam will be in a few days. Take good care of yourself and come to take the exam when the time comes."
After saying that, Song Le'an stood up and pretended to leave.
Dong Zhuo panicked and reached out to grab Song Le'an's arm.
"Ale! Do you want to stop being friends with me? Do you hate me, Ale?!
You are my only friend. If you ignore me, no one will care about me anymore!"
Song Le'an's personality and family education prevent him from saying anything harsh.
"Azhuo, I won't break up with you or ignore you for now, but I hope you can reflect on yourself.
If you still believe you are not wrong, then I will have to consider whether our friendship can continue."
Song Le'an broke free from Dong Zhuo's hand that was pulling his arm, opened the door and left.
The door opened, and the cold wind from outside rushed into the house and into Dong Zhuo's heart.
Dong Zhuo looked at Song Le'an leaving without hesitation and felt a hole in his heart.
Even though Ale was disappointed in him, he still cared about his health.
Ale is such a good person, such a good friend, he really doesn't want to lose him.
Did he really do something wrong?
Song Le'an returned to Prince Kang's Mansion in silence and went straight to Qingzhu Courtyard.
"An'er is back, come in quickly, don't catch a cold. You rushed out just as your fever subsided this morning. What if you catch a cold again?"
Ye Peizhu scolded softly, pulled Song Le'an over and touched his forehead.
[Has my fifth brother come back from the bad guys? Fifth brother, tell me, what did the bad guys say?
Have you guys broken up?】
Song Jiujiu was extremely curious and waved her little hands hard to get her fifth brother's attention.
"Don't worry, mother. Your son is not cold."
Song Le'an had just warmed himself by the fire outside to dispel the coldness from his body. He walked to the crib and gently poked his sister's soft little face.
"Sister, do you miss your fifth brother?"
[I've thought about it, so fifth brother, please tell me quickly, my mother wants to ask!
Who of you wants to start first? And isn't Fifth Brother injured? What's his injury? How's his wound?
Song Jiujiu was very anxious.
"An'er, I heard from Shuituo that you have a back injury. Come over here and let me take a look."
Ye Peizhu listened to her daughter's anxious little voice and was also worried about her fifth son, so she spoke first.
"Mom, my son's back is just scratched by the thorns on the hillside. It's okay."
Song Le'an knew that his mother and sister were worried about him, so he took the initiative to show his mother the wound on his back.
Fortunately, it was not a serious problem and it would be fine in a few days after applying some medicine.
Ye Peizhu also felt relieved temporarily.
"An'er, that...your friend..."
Ye Peizhu wanted to ask about this matter again, but she didn't know whether her fifth son was willing to talk about it.
"Mother, did you know that Minister Dong, the Minister of Rites, has a bastard son?"
Song Le'an returned to the crib, took his sister's little hand and asked his mother.
Ye Peizhu thought for a moment, "Mother has an impression that Minister Dong and his wife were said to be very affectionate, but later the maid who served Mrs. Dong personally became Minister Dong's concubine.
Later, this concubine gave birth to a son, but she also died of illness a few years ago.
Mother heard that the bastard is having a very hard time in the mansion. His biological mother passed away, and the mistress dislikes him. His father, who thinks he is a disgrace, also ignores him and allows the mistress to treat him harshly...”
Ye Peizhu paused here, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "An'er, could that classmate who took advantage of you be Minister Dong's illegitimate son?"
Song Le'an nodded and told the whole story of the day he went up the mountain, including what happened at Dong's house just now.
Hearing this, Ye Peizhu sighed.
"An'er, mother may understand why Dong Zhuo did this."
Song Le'an walked to the bed and sat down, looking at his mother expectantly.
“An’er, some people are possessive of people and things.
Dong Zhuo regards you as a friend, his only friend. His possessiveness in friendship makes him hope that you are just friends with him, just like him.
Because he only has you as a friend, but An'er, you have many friends.
What he does is to make your other friends hate you and stay away from you, so that in the end he will be the only friend left around you.
He becomes your only friend and can firmly occupy the position of your friend.
This is the result of possessiveness. Dong Zhuo is a poor child. His life experience makes him want to protect the little bit of care he gets with all his might.
An'er, think back, before you and Dong Zhuo became friends, did you first show kindness to him and take the initiative to become his friend?
Song Le'an recalled the past in a daze. Indeed, it was he who first extended his hand to Dong Zhuo and it was he who first made Dong Zhuo his friend.
"Yes, it's me."
"Because of your initiative, you two have become friends. Dong Zhuo finally has a friend, so of course he will do his best to protect your friendship.
He will also be afraid that his only friend will be taken away by someone else and will no longer be his friend.
Dong Zhuo is only eight years old, and this is the kind of thinking that children of your age would have."
