Chapter 95: Evil Thoughts "Watch... a movie?" Mary...
"Watch... a movie?" Mary was curious about this new experience. "What do you think?"
Johnny was strangely silent for a few seconds before he quietly explained, "It's just... you have to wait in line for a long time before you can enter the cinema, sit down in your seat, and watch... right?"
Hearing Johnny's uncertain tone, Mary decided to call Blackmoya from her home phone tonight to ask for clarification and make the gift as perfect as possible.
"Well, let's go watch it. After the movie, we'll go buy gifts for everyone else."
Mary's words made Johnny's face fall completely: "Besides me, are you going to give gifts to anyone else?"
"Of course I do. Even though I don't like going out, I do know a lot of people," Mary said. "It would be really rude of me to send me a gift and not show any appreciation."
Johnny swallowed the last piece of beef in a depressed mood. He knew that what he said was unreasonable, but he just couldn't control his sadness.
Clearly before...Mary only had herself, but he didn't know when Mary became the only one for him.
Looking at Mary, who was more lively and talkative than before, he bit his lower lip and covered his eyebrows with his hair.
Johnny Joestar has a secret that he never told Mary, which is why he is disabled.
He wanted to forget it, but it always followed him.
At first, he would read reports about himself in the newspapers, which described his suffering as a human comedy. If it weren't his own business, Johnny Joestar might even laugh out loud at the witty remarks.
He crumpled the thin papers uncontrollably, and before he realized it, he had torn them into pieces that could never be put back together again.
Tears turned into pointers, and when his tears dried, the news about him was buried in the dust of new things.
But even if he didn't think about it, he would dream about that scene from time to time.
Less than three days after they'd been together, a woman whose name he couldn't even remember took his arm and said in a sweet voice, "I want to see it. It's a super famous movie. The heroine is super beautiful. I've liked her for a long time!"
ha?
The cinema was packed with people, and with no security guards to maintain order, it was just a huge crowd of people crammed together. Johnny knew how smelly it was going to be just by looking at his toes.
Besides, the sun is quite strong now. If you queue for several hours without any shelter, you will definitely get severely sunburned.
Tsk...this woman is so annoying. Can't you tell that he's really not interested at all?
"Tsk, even if you have to queue, you still have to watch it?"
When he said this, the woman's expression changed. Her fingers gently traced the front of his shirt, and she looked up at him, her voice full of seriousness and matter-of-factness: "Why are you queuing? You're Johnny Joestar! You're a celebrity everyone knows!"
This sentence is the origin of sin.
However, Johnny Joestar couldn't blame anyone.
If he was really an idiot who was bewitched by that woman and obeyed her orders, he would definitely seek revenge.
Because it was that woman who harmed her, he wanted to drag her into the water!
Sadly, Johnny knew that he agreed with the other person's words at the time. Otherwise, he would have turned his face away and walked away.
But he didn't. At that time, his shallow mind only felt the joy of being complimented, and a little bit of pleasure of having his hidden thoughts exposed.
At that time, he had been praised by everyone like a balloon that had expanded to the extreme. He was superior to everyone else, and he should naturally enjoy the pleasure of being above others.
He can do things that others cannot do, and he can enjoy treatment that others cannot enjoy.
While others had to queue for dozens of hours outside, hungry and thirsty, Johnny Joestar could just step into the theater and enjoy the services there. Just thinking about it made Johnny feel amused.
Rather than saying that the woman was a bad person, he felt more like the evil thoughts in his heart took on a human form and spoke out loudly the thoughts he had hidden in his heart.
Then, he met the man who changed his life.
The other person was a very insignificant guy, clearly someone from the lower classes of society. He was short and was sitting on the ground reading a newspaper to kill time. The small paper alone almost obscured his entire body.
As a jockey, Johnny had better eyesight than the average person and spotted the dwarf immediately. He knew this was the man the powerful and wealthy talked about, someone who could be crushed into the mud at will.
Those guys were chatting at the party, their champagne in the light shining brighter than gold. They said that this kind of person was stupid, cowardly, and useless, not even worthy of being their watchdog, otherwise his earthy smell would stink up the room.
In that case...
Without thinking, Johnny cut in line in front of him.
But he never expected that this guy actually stood up and said tremblingly behind him: "Um...that...here...the queue is..."
Johnny Joestar turned his head lazily. The man was half a head shorter than the woman next to him and looked like a dwarf.
His hair was uneven, looking like he had scissors cut it haphazardly, reminiscent of a street dog with tangled fur. His clothes were also old styles from a few years ago, and it was obvious that they were not designed for aesthetics, but simply to resist getting dirty and old.
Not to mention his appearance, just saying he was normal was the highest compliment. Johnny looked at the other person's sickly purple lips and thought he was a real idiot who didn't know what to do.
The man's lips were trembling with nervousness, and he was saying nonsense that Johnny didn't want to hear.
When the other party finished speaking, he revealed a smile full of mockery and malice: "Is that so? Then you are really amazing."
Why didn't he stop then?
Why didn't he feel any pity or sympathy for that person?
Johnny didn't dare to think about it at first, but he could only admit later that at that time he looked down on the poor and thought that it was an honor for the other party to meet him, but they dared to reject him, which was really ungrateful.
Stupid, arrogant, conceited... Johnny felt that any word he used to describe himself at that time would be enough.
The newspapers laughed and said that he was paralyzed because he cut in line, but Johnny knew better than anyone that it couldn't be summed up in one sentence: cutting in line.
If he is not stopped, he will get a taste of it and then it will get out of control.
How bad would he become then?
Will he continue down this path and become an even more terrifying guy?
The gunshots awakened his ignorant mind and made him see the world anew. They made him realize how stinking those people wrapped in gold and silver really were. It was no exaggeration to say that they were living a life of luxury and debauchery on the backs of human blood.
When Johnny wakes up from a dream late at night, he always feels that what is scarier than ghosts is himself a few years ago.
While others can cover up their stupidity and indulgence, his stupidity is like a thorn in the flesh, forever haunting him and nailing him to the pillar of shame, from which he seems unable to escape forever.
It is precisely because he knows that he has made a mistake that he cannot feel at ease blaming others or finding relief by hurting others.
During the three months that Mary was away, Johnny thought countless times, does Mary know all this?
Although he didn't tell her in person, his report caused a sensation in the city at the time, and it was hard not to know.
If she knew and still stayed with him, did it mean that Mary knew that she was just being led astray and was not a bad person in essence?
Is it... that I still have a chance to be with her?
But what if Mary knew nothing?
Just thinking about it made Johnny feel like he couldn't breathe.
If she didn't know him and just thought he was a cute, ordinary person... then after she found out through other channels...
Would she think he was bad, would she think he was terrible?
Originally, Johnny wanted to delay.
He wanted to wait until Mary was with him, even after they got married and had children, and then he would casually mention it, and then when he realized that something was wrong, he would stop and let it go immediately.
But... Diego knew all this. That disgusting guy would definitely make a big fuss about this.
He didn't know about Mary, but he knew how much Diego could exaggerate.
Johnny Joestar had no choice but to make the boldest decision ever. He wanted to queue up outside the cinema with Mary and watch a movie together.
After the movie, he'll tell Mary... everything.
Restraining his inner trembling, Johnny wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue and said gently, "I'm going to wash the dishes. Mary, please keep an eye on the door in the meantime. The Christmas tree will be delivered soon as agreed."
Mary naturally wouldn't let Johnny continue working. She touched his furry head and said, "I'm going to wash the dishes. You can rest outside for a while."
Without giving Johnny a chance to refuse, Mary swiftly took the plates and walked away, throwing them into the sink and starting to rinse off the half-solidified grease stains on the plates.
With her efforts, many white bubbles appeared in the bowl, as beautiful as the white snow outside. Mary couldn't help but think of last winter, when she had nothing but herself.
And now, she has a home, friends, and people who like her.
A warm and swelling feeling began to spread from her heart, and Mary gradually understood that this was the embodiment of happiness.
I hope... Jero, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, can also experience the same happiness as her.
When Mary walked out of the kitchen, the Christmas tree had been moved next to the fireplace by the workers, and Johnny was paying them.
The tree was wrapped with colorful lights and hung with many cute decorations, giving the whole house a festive atmosphere in an instant.
Because Johnny was generous and gave them tips far beyond the usual, several people were so moved by the money that they actually volunteered to help them decorate the room.
Johnny was a little reluctant at first, he still wanted to spend time alone with Mary.
However, thinking that it would take too much time and energy to decorate the three-story house, Johnny accepted the other party's kindness.
As expected, professional matters should be left to professionals. Those few people were not particularly quick, but they did their job smoothly.
Looking at the snowflake decorations and snowman dolls in the living room, Mary seemed to hear the sound of light music.
Christmas...is really coming soon.
