Tang Yaoyao was surprised to be praised so suddenly. How could someone have such good taste when it's just a little Pikachu?
Pikachu is very common; you can buy it everywhere. Tang Yaoyao's phone case is Pikachu.
When she watched Pokémon, her favorite character was Pikachu, and there were many related movies. I believe most people are charmed by it, so seeing it isn't surprising. But Hero's eyes looked as if he had seen something completely new.
He also has a childlike side.
"So you have good taste now?" Tang Yaoyao asked.
Hero nodded, holding the food in his hand without eating it: "Hmm, good taste."
"Pikachu is nothing special. It's not because we have good taste. We all like Doraemon now."
The child standing nearby was quite attentive. When he saw the yellowish-brown thing in Hero's hand, he suddenly poured cold water on Hero's enthusiasm.
Hero lowered his eyes, stared at them, and said again, "My sister has good taste."
The child compared his own and thought his was prettier. He raised his hand a little higher so that Hero could see clearly whose was better: "Big brother, mine is cuter. Mine is a yellow duck, much prettier than yours."
Hero stared at the child next to him, whose hands were missing limbs and looked ugly after being bitten a few times. He said, "Yours is really ugly."
The little boy was eating with his food all over his mouth, and the food in his hands was not quite right, but in his eyes it was the cutest thing. When Hero said it was ugly, he was extremely aggrieved and burst into tears: "Big brother said I'm ugly, but I'm not ugly! Big brother is a bad guy! I'm clearly very cute!"
She cried so hard that tears and snot streamed down her face, and went home to find her mother.
Hero stared happily at the Pikachu in his hand, completely oblivious to the fact that he had made the child cry.
One child left, but there are still many children left.
The child disagreed and wanted others' approval: "My Brown Bear is cute, yours isn't. Big brother, I also have Pikachu at home. I sleep with Pikachu every day. It's not cute at all."
Hero noticed something new and turned to look at Tang Yaoyao: "There are hugs too?"
Tang Yaoyao said, "There are plenty of things, including dolls, figurines, phone cases, and so on. You name it, we have it."
The children found it strange that among them, who were all under 1.3 meters tall, a tall older brother who was over 1.8 meters tall suddenly appeared and they had to look up to him: "Big brother, why do you like to eat just like us? Is it because you haven't grown up yet?"
Hero hasn't eaten it yet and doesn't know what it tastes like: "I've never eaten it, and I don't know what Pikachu is."
"But my sister always chooses the best."
My sister likes Pikachu, and so does he.
Hero looked at them eating again, their mouths covered in food, each one looking like a little kitten. He said, "Looking at it this way, what you're holding looks much better."
"Big brother is praising us!"
The children opened their eyes wide, received a little sweetness, and gathered together to gain recognition.
"Yeah, because you guys are so ugly it made me cry."
"..." Tang Yaoyao.
The children were shocked to be called ugly, and immediately became unhappy. Their faces fell, and they looked at each other.
Seeing that the other person's nose and mouth were all smeared together while eating, and realizing that her friend looked terrible, she burst into tears: "Wow—how can you be so ugly? You're so ugly it's making me cry!"
"You too, you're so ugly, wow—"
"Big brother said we're ugly, waaaaaah!"
He made the old man selling the food cry, and the old man was at a loss, thinking that he had eaten something that made him unhappy.
Tang Yaoyao stood there, enduring immense torment. She never expected the child to cry so much, and to cry so heartbreakingly, panting heavily.
Because of Hero's comment "So ugly it made me cry," several children cried in front of him.
Her face became even more smeared from crying, and the more she looked at the other person, the uglier they seemed. Snot dripped onto the ground along with the candy stains, and her crying grew even louder.
The commotion was getting lively. Hero picked up the one in his hand, gently smoothing the edges, not wanting to ruin its shape, and regardless of how heartbroken they were.
Tang Yaoyao reminded him in surprise, "Brother, you made them cry."
"Huh?" Hero stared at Tang Yaoyao: "Did I make you cry? Didn't we just make each other cry from looking ugly?"
"..."
"Big brother, you're so mean! You're still saying it! You're still saying it! It doesn't taste good at all! I'm not eating it anymore!"
"Big brother, you're a bad person! I never want to talk to you again!"
The children walked forward, crying and angry, because they no longer liked it.
My wonderful childhood was shattered.
Originally, many innocent children were happily eating the food prepared by the old man, but they were all brutally beaten by reality and driven away by Hero's few discouraging words.
The old man looked at him strangely, as if he were only three years old. Why bother arguing with a child?
Hero, unaware of what he had done, turned around and looked at Tang Yaoyao with an innocent expression.
Tang Yaoyao took Hero's hand and apologized to the old man, saying, "I'm sorry, my brother is a straight man and doesn't know how to tease children."
Straight as straight as it gets.
Hero hasn't spent much time with children, so he's very straightforward and says whatever comes to mind, unaware of what he might be doing wrong: "Was I wrong?"
Tang Yaoyao almost burst out laughing, but seeing Hero's bewildered look, as if he didn't understand what childish thing he had done, she shook her head and said decisively, "No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's exactly as you said. The little kid was made to cry by how ugly it was."
Hero smiled and nodded, "Mm."
He wasn't even touching what he was eating; it was going to melt quickly if he kept doing that. Tang Yaoyao said, "Brother, why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?"
"If you eat it, it'll be gone!" Hero was reluctant to eat it: "This is the Pikachu you bought for me."
