Chapter 228: Scene 15 (Inverted V) Become stronger, Ben...
“…”
“…”
"Hey, hey, wake up, wake up!"
"Xiao, Xiaozhe, be gentle, he doesn't look well..."
"That's why we have to wake him up."
"Why?"
"Xiao Shu, do you really want to wait here until he wakes up?" Young He Yuezhe tapped Chen Shu's forehead with a finger and said with a pout, "I've already done my best by promising to save him. We don't have that much time to waste on someone half-dead!"
"But..." Chen Shuo covered his forehead with his hands, a little hesitant.
"There's nothing to complain about," He Yuezhe squatted down and poked the boy on the ground with a branch. "Xiao Shu, for a stranger like this, we've done a great job by saving his life."
Chen Shuo was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "I, I know. Okay, let's wake him up quickly and go."
"Yes." He Yuezhe nodded. "Xiao Shu, from now on, when I'm not around, you must stay away from people like this who have fainted."
"I know, Xiaozhe, I will be obedient."
"good."
“…”
“…”
“…”
“… Ugh, cough, cough, cough! W-What’s that smell? It smells so good!”
"You're finally awake!"
"You really have a dog's nose." He Yuezhe smiled and shook the meat bun in his hand. "Do you want some?"
"Y-you saved me!?" The boy lay on the ground, coughing a few times. He opened his eyes weakly and shifted his gaze from the two people to the meat buns. "I want to eat!"
"Hehe." He Yuezhe tossed the meat bun in his hand.
"Ah..." The boy opened his mouth wide.
He Yuezhe was a little confused by his behavior: "Hey, what do you mean? Do you want me to throw it in your mouth?"
"Aren't you going to give it to me to eat...?" The boy blinked pitifully.
“…” How stupid! He doesn’t even know how to judge the situation!
"Xiaozhe?"
"Xiao Shu, carry him on my back."
"Oh, oh, okay."
"Hey hey hey?!"
"Xiaozhe, are we going home now?"
"Well, yes, go home, take our new friend home with us."
"Hey, new partner?"
"Yeah, new partner."
“Delicious, delicious, delicious…”
…
"Ban Weile, retreat!!"
"Varied--"
“Chi!!!”
"Run!"
“No, no, no!!!… No, no, you don’t want to die, He Yuezhe!”
"He Yuezhe!!!"
“…”
"Hello?"
"I...Are you okay? Are you not hurt?!"
"I'm fine. It was someone who rushed in front of me like crazy and got a big gash on his back."
"I, I'm sorry, I, I..."
"Okay, I'm not blaming you," He Yuezhe pushed Ban Weile, who had sat up excitedly, back onto the bed, "but I don't want this to happen again."
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive..." Ban Weile buried his head in the pillow.
He Yuezhe vaguely heard his sobbing.
Although He Yuezhe only regarded Ban Weile as someone to entertain her at the beginning, they had been together for so long after all. What she didn't want to admit was that after Ban Weile blocked the man's attack for her, she might have regarded Ban Weile as her friend.
"You cowardly and stupid kid won't get any meat buns to eat, okay?" He Yuezhe took out his trump card - meat buns.
Friends...
"I, I won't cry anymore...!" Ban Weile wiped the tears that seemed to never stop welling up in his eyes, forced himself to stand up, and looked at He Yuezhe with burning eyes, "Okay, okay, have you eaten?"
What exactly is a friend?
"Well, if you make me laugh, I'll give it to you."
Is it like she and Xiaoshu, who depend on each other?
"Okay, okay, then I, then I—Aqiu! I'll give you…"
Or like this person?
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you don't have to talk anymore, you don't have to talk anymore, wipe your tears and snot first and then talk to me!"
A silly kid who always makes you laugh?
"Oh, oh, yes—Achu! I'm sorry!"
Well, probably both.
"Here, paper," He Yuezhe smiled, handed the paper to Ban Weile, and pinched his cheek, "Don't cry, you did a good job."
"Really?!" Ban Wei Le shuddered and screamed in surprise, "Did I really do well?! Did I really protect you?! Am I really better than before?!"
"Yes, yes, it really is, it really is."
The boy is always startled and miserable, like a wet little bear. He will look at you with his watery eyes and beg you, but sometimes, he will also think about protecting you at all costs.
He Yuezhe patted his head and said, "You did a really good job. You really protected me. You're much better than before!"
"That's great, wow..."
“Wuwuwu…”
“Wuwuwu…”
Memories and reality overlap.
He Yuezhe came to his senses and looked at Ban Weile who was crying beside him.
"Wow, wow, wow..." The boy started crying without knowing when, and kept talking.
"Hey," He Yuezhe touched him with the backpack, "Why are you crying?"
"Wow...don't you think this letter is very touching? Wow..."
"..." He Yuezhe was stunned for a long time before he finally said slowly: "Well, it is quite touching."
"Is that so?!" Ban Wei Le burst into tears, "Wuwu ...
"Hey, do you know where I'm taking you?" He Yuezhe touched him with the backpack again.
"Wow, I don't know."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you to one of those job sites?"
"ah?"
“…”
"Then, should I run? But my backpack is with you." Ban Weile scratched his head, and the harsh voice sounded again.
"...I'll send you to an orphanage."
"Orphanage? There's actually an orphanage here?"
"Um."
“Are there a lot of children there?”
"Yeah. By the way, the children there have special physical conditions due to some special reasons. You'd better not make fun of them casually."
"I'm not one to joke around!"
"oh."
"Puppet."
"Um?"
"What's your name? You know my name is Ban Weile, but I still don't know yours."
"My name is Pomegranate."
"Pomegranate, that sounds delicious!"
"Have you ever seen a pomegranate?"
"Yes, in the adventure book my friends left behind."
"Your friends..."
"Can we change the subject?"
"What do you want to change the subject?"
"Well, tell me about you, I want to know your story!"
"I only tell my friends about my affairs."
"Hey—am I still not your friend now?"
"Of course not."
"Why!"
"Because you always cry."
"What? I'm not crying!"
"You cried, I heard it and I smelled it."
“…”
"Do you miss your friends?"
"……Um."
"Can you tell me about them?"
“…”
“…”
"I have... two friends. We live in a dilapidated house. It's a big house, and we go on adventures and explore inside it every day."
“…”
"Later, they said they were going on an adventure to a more distant place, which was very dangerous. I was stupid, and they were afraid I would get hurt, so they didn't take me with them."
“…”
"But I told them that although I'm stupid, I work hard and can exercise every day. I'm not afraid of being tired, hardship, or getting hurt. I want to go with them."
“…”
"They agreed."
“…”
"Then, the next morning, when I opened my eyes again, they were gone. Only a bag of bread and a few words were left."
“…”
"I don't know if they lied to me or what, but I was really sad that day. I cried until I fainted."
“…”
"Well, from that day on, I trained very hard. I was covered in bruises every day. I just hoped, hoped that one day they would come back, pat me on the back, and say I was awesome and that they wanted to take me with them."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"What a shame," Ban Wei Le's voice was muffled and nasal. He sniffed, "In the end, all I got were the scavengers... their corpses."
“…”
"It was then that I realized they hadn't abandoned me. They had been abducted by those despicable people and forced to work day and night in a workspace. They were still children!!!"
“…”
Ban Weile's voice gradually became angry: "I, I was very angry at that time. I wanted to find those people to argue, but, but I couldn't beat them at all. Why, why am I so weak, why?!"
"If I were stronger, if I didn't need their protection, wouldn't they have been beaten all over to protect me from being captured? Wouldn't they, wouldn't they—?!"
"...Actually, it would be better if I had never existed. That way, they wouldn't have to protect me from injuries all over my body, and they wouldn't have run to the city to buy me buns and candles just because it was my birthday, and got caught by those bad guys. I, if, if..."
"Why am I the one who survived? Why, why, I, I can't survive, I, I..."
"stand up."
“…”
"If you regret it, it's useless to just yell or get angry here." He Yuezhe said, "Become stronger, Ban Weile, become stronger."
"Becoming, powerful..."
"Become strong, become someone who can truly protect them, and then avenge your friends with your own hands."
"I..." Ban Wei Le paused, "Can I do it, too?"
"Are you giving up before you even start?"
“…”
"The road is still long, I have to go."
"...No, no, wait for me, I won't give up, I will become stronger!! I will become someone who can truly protect my friends!!!"
"Well, good luck to you."
"Thank you." Ban Weile followed He Yuezhe's steps and said, "Um, Shi Liu, are we friends now?"
"what?"
"I know you're very powerful, Shi Liu, so I want to make you my target..."
"You want me to teach you?"
"Um!"
"It's not impossible, but you have to do me a favor."
"you say!"
"Well, that's it..."
