After waiting for the three of them to have dinner together, they returned to the dormitory to rest. During this time, Barbara had been carefully observing Fern's every move, just wanting to get to know Fern more quickly.
In order to quickly integrate into the group, Barbara listened to everything Fern said, what the current situation was, what she should do, etc. without any relaxation.
The yard was very dark at this moment. Since Little Zhima was very afraid of the dark, Fern hugged Little Zhima warmly to calm it down a little. But before, he always went home immediately after eating. This time, he walked a little further because he was taking a walk outside.
Fern's original intention was to let Barbara better understand the situation here, so he thought of coming out at night. Fern had little time during the day, and the weather was very hot, so everyone was in a very irritable mood.
"Master, why are we here? Is there something wrong?" Little Sesame looked at Fern curiously and asked.
"It's okay, we just came out for a simple walk. You've eaten so much just now, shouldn't you come down and take a walk?" Fern said with a smile while looking at Xiao Zhima.
Hearing Fern's answer really frightened Xiao Zhima. It would be better if she didn't say anything...
"No, I can't walk by myself. It's too dark. I really can't do that." Ma Xin thought.
Fern thought that Xiao Zhima's surprised expression was very cute, and he glanced at Barbara. Soon the two of them had a tacit understanding and Barbara quickly understood what Fern meant.
At this moment, Barbara felt like laughing when she saw Little Zhima. She looked very unconvinced and didn't want to get down and walk by herself. She just wanted Fern to hold her like this all the time.
Clever Barbara had an idea in her mind, just to share some of the burden with Fern.
"Little Zhima, how about this, Fern must be tired after holding you for so long, right? How about I hold you for a while?" Barbara said to Little Zhima with a smile.
When Fern heard this heartwarming answer, she was very excited. She didn't expect that Barbara was so caring about others.
Xiao Zhima looked at Barbara's expression and thought, is she trying to trick me? Is Barbara really so kind? Xiao Zhima still observed Barbara carefully with a hint of suspicion.
"Really? I... I'm very heavy. Are you sure you want to hold me?" Xiao Zhima looked at Barbara in panic and said.
At this moment, Fern didn't say anything, but just wanted to see how Xiao Zhima would respond to Barbara's behavior.
Fern considered that the two people had just met and might not be very familiar with each other, so he didn't know whether Xiao Zhima would agree to the request of a stranger.
Fern was looking forward to Little Zhima's performance. Barbara and Fern also exchanged glances, expecting what decision Little Zhima would make, would he go down and walk by himself, or would he ask Barbara to hold him? All the doubts were revealed on Little Zhima's face. He looked at Barbara, and then at his owner's confused eyes.
"Really, you have to believe me. Even though we have known each other for less than a day, I will not harm you, don't you think?" Barbara said to Xiao Zhima while looking at him closely.
"I know, I'm just afraid of tiring you out, so I have to think about it carefully. Forget it, I can still walk by myself for a while." Xiao Zhima looked at Barbara helplessly and answered.
At this moment, Little Sesame's action surprised Fern and Barbara. Little Sesame actually pushed Fern's shoulder and struggled to jump down and walk by himself.
"Master, I want to go downstairs and walk for a while. Are you tired too?" Little Sesame looked into Fern's eyes and said a little aggrievedly.
"Well, a little bit. But you don't have to be afraid. I will always be by your side." Fern smiled and said to Xiao Zhima.
Many things can cause fear, but we must always try to face them, because if we don’t solve the problems we encounter, bigger problems will accumulate over time and we will be faced with them.
Fern really wants to train Xiao Zhima well because this way he can grow faster, and when he encounters things he is afraid of in the future, he can face them alone and find better solutions.
Although Xiao Zhima looked reluctant and aggrieved, Fern did not show any softness this time. He still had to face many things by himself. No one could help him. The best way to deal with it was to overcome his own psychological barriers.
Fern and Barbara looked at each other. They were really satisfied to see the brave side of Little Sesame. They really had to thank Barbara's approach for better motivating Little Sesame's mentality.
Thinking from another perspective, Xiao Zhima's behavior is a sign of safety. In Fern's opinion, if it were him, he would make the same choice as Xiao Zhima, because only in this way can he effectively protect himself.
"Little Zhima, you are so brave. Thank you very much for letting me relax for a while. I am rooting for you!" Barbara said to Little Zhima with a smile.
Whenever Xiao Zhima heard someone praising him, he would feel good. This time was also very sad at first, but after hearing Barbara's words, he seemed to feel much better and it was not as terrible as he had imagined.
"Thank you, Barbara. Were you afraid of the dark when you were a child?" Little Sesame asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I was even worse off than you at that time. You are much braver than me." Barbara said excitedly while looking at Xiao Zhima.
Fern was obviously a little depressed when he heard about his childhood. He had been living alone during his childhood and had to do everything by himself. If he didn't work hard for a day, he would have no food to eat...
But I feel quite happy when I look at myself now, so let the past go.
Fern has always been a person with a good mentality. Maybe it has something to do with his childhood experiences. Whenever he encounters any problem, he will digest it through his heart and find the answer.
"Really? Haha." Xiao Zhima replied with a smile.
"Yes, you don't know how scared I am. I am very afraid of insects." Barbara said seriously.
Regardless of whether the story is true or false, at least this method successfully opened Xiao Zhima's closed heart.
Fern was very pleased to see that Barbara cared about Xiao Zhima, and Barbara was also very resourceful. This move attracted Fern's attention and he believed that they would get along better in the future.
At this moment, Fern felt that it was actually a good thing for Barbara to come here. Although he didn't know what would happen in the future, Fern believed that as long as Barbara protected Xiao Zhima, she would be safe.
It felt like they had been walking for a long time. Xiao Zhima felt a little tired and really didn't want to walk anymore. But seeing that Fern and Barbara had no intention of stopping, he continued to persevere.
Faced with such a thing, Xiao Zhima could only choose to accept it silently. However, it was also a good idea to get out and exercise after staying in the house all day.
The three of them kept walking and chatting like this. Everyone was very happy and could feel that the relationship between Fern and Barbara was really special. They talked about many things together, and Xiao Zhima listened in the whole time.
"Master, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything?" Little Zhima asked curiously.
"Haha, it's nothing, they are just past events. Let's work hard together in the future, okay?" Barbara replied quickly.
"Okay, no problem, but you must help me. I want to learn from you." Xiao Zhima said with a smile.
Fern was really pleased to see two people helping each other. It was really attractive. There are many things in life that are not smooth sailing, but as long as you are willing to work hard, everything will be fine.
"You are all great. I hope you can get along better in the future and make progress together." Fern said excitedly.
They were about to arrive at Fern's dormitory. Barbara was still wondering whether her sleep at night would disturb Xiaozhima and Fern. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to start the conversation so she didn't say it.
In fact, Fern had already helped Barbara clean up the room and made all preparations.
Fern has always been very serious and careful. Barbara has no impression of Fern telling anyone about anything, but the fact is that everything has been handled.
"Barbara, let me take you back to your room first." Fern said to Barbara with a smile.
"My room? My own?" Barbara said in surprise.
Barbara was shocked in her heart. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it just now. Suddenly she felt that Fern still cared about her.
Little Zhima didn't feel surprised at all, and was secretly delighted that Barbara couldn't compete with him for the master. In fact, Little Zhima still had some selfish thoughts...
But Xiao Zhima didn't have any bad intentions, he just got used to Fern being by his side all the time.
"Yes, yours." Fern smiled and said to Barbara.
"Okay, thank you Brother Fern, I really trouble you." Barbara looked at Fern with satisfaction and said.
"You're so polite. We are still good siblings." Fern said, looking at Fern with a smile.
As soon as Barbara walked into the room that Fern had prepared for her, she was very touched and found that the entire room was arranged just the way she liked it.
"Wow, Brother Fern, you really know me well. You still remember my preferences so clearly." Barbara said excitedly.
Fern still felt a little guilty about Barbara ever since she left, and this time she can finally make up for it.
