Chapter 19
◎Ultraman◎
The remnant soul absorbed quickly, and Song Jinyu felt exceptionally energetic the next day.
He changed his body and ran to the door to do a set of radio calisthenics, finally waiting for Jiang Hui to "go to work".
He immediately told him about it.
Jiang Hui lifted him up, looked at him, and smiled. "Congratulations, you've finished absorbing it."
The female BJD doll that Song Jinyu had smashed was replaced with its original hair and clothes. Song Jinyu removed its head and hired a highly rated makeup artist online to restore its former noble and aloof appearance.
The doll was finally placed at the highest point of the crossroads in Xiao Ji's house, and Song Jinyu looked at it with great emotion.
"Although you are very beautiful, you are not the perfect match for a macho man."
Because the Ultraman that Jiang sent back has arrived.
The palm-sized Ultraman Tiga has a button on his back; pressing it allows his eyes to fire lasers.
Song Jinyu's eyes are so bright they could shoot lasers.
Jiang Hui squatted down next to him, holding up his phone, and said, "Not only Ultraman, I also bought Luffy."
Song Jinyu: "Wow..."
"Zoro."
"Wow……"
"Three-Sword Style Zoro"
"Wow!!"
"Iron Man".
"Transformers".
"Captain America."
"..."
Song Jinyu cried out, "Godfather!!"
Xiao Ji, who witnessed the whole thing: "..."
Jiang Hui's adopted son was lifted up. He turned around and saw Xiao Ji, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, standing behind him looking down at him. His gaze was indifferent, making it impossible to discern any emotion, yet it seemed to pierce straight into his heart, as if reminding him of something.
He paused, then put his phone away.
Only Song Jinyu could act with impunity in Xiao Ji's hands.
Whether he was happy or angry, he could vent it all on that person who seemed so cold and unapproachable to outsiders.
Song Jinyu twisted her body and looked at Jiang Hui, "What are you doing, what are you doing! I haven't finished talking to Jiang Hui yet."
Xiao Ji acted like an unreasonable parent, taking advantage of his ability to control a palm-sized puppet to forcibly take the person away.
"Pack up, Aunt Zhou called me and said your students are coming to see you today."
Today, Song Jinyu is Ultraman saving humanity, and he asks Xiao Ji to tie a red cape on him.
Xiao Ji couldn't find the red cloak, so he cut a piece from the red fabric he had bought for Song Jinyu to make clothes. He clumsily sewed the cloak with ties, his tone indifferent.
"As far as I know, Ultraman doesn't have a cape."
Song Jinyu said, "Back then, I lied to them and said that Ultraman had a cape, and if you put it on, you could become Ultraman, two in one."
Xiao Ji: "..."
He paused. "They believed it?"
Song Jinyu proudly raised her head, "They believe everything I say."
Two senior class monitors, accompanied by a female teacher, came to the hospital to visit Song Jinyu. When Xiao Ji arrived with Song Jinyu, the female teacher and her two students had only just arrived.
The two little girls timidly hid behind her, trembling all over, but couldn't help looking up at the bedside.
The female teacher gave Zhou Qingwen an apologetic smile, "I'm really sorry for disturbing Teacher Song's mother. They kept asking where Teacher Jinyu was and why she wasn't in class. Many students cried, so I had no choice but to bring two of them over to check on things."
She patted the heads of the two girls behind her, speaking softly, "Go on, your favorite goldfish teacher is in bed."
The two girls were still trembling. It took them a long time to react after the female teacher finished speaking. They quietly took a step forward, and when they saw Song Jinyu's face on the hospital bed, they couldn't help but take a few more steps forward.
Xiao Ji stood at the gatehouse entrance.
Ultraman Song Jinyu whispered in his ear, "Both of them have autism. When I first started working here, I had to talk myself hoarse before they would even say a word to me..."
He added with a touch of pride, "They are the best recovered students. They can now communicate with people, although their reactions are a bit slow."
The slightly older little girl was holding a doll. She stood next to Song Jinyu with a blank expression on her face, and only blinked after a while.
"Goldfish...teacher...illness..."
"Teacher Goldfish is sick." The female teacher said gently, "I told you before that Teacher Goldfish was sick and would have to stay in the hospital for a while. He can come back and play games with you when he gets better."
The children's situation was special; the school would never have let them out if they hadn't been crying and demanding to see Song Jinyu.
The female teacher coaxed the two girls, "Teacher Goldfish needs to rest. How about we go back after we've seen her?"
Another girl burst into tears without warning. She cried quietly, as if afraid of disturbing others, even speaking in a soft voice, "Stay...stay..."
Zhou Qingwen sighed inwardly. She found chairs for the two girls to sit on. "You want to keep him company, right? Auntie will give you chairs. Would you like to sit down and keep him company?"
The two girls stopped responding, so the female teacher carried them to chairs.
She gave an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"Not at all..."
Zhou Qingwen poured a glass of water for the female teacher. "I'm so happy that they like Jinyu and are willing to come see him. How could I possibly find it troublesome?"
The female teacher took a sip of water. "They really like Teacher Song. They eagerly await PE class every day."
“Actually, the school didn’t have any physical education classes at first. They even had difficulty communicating with others, so how could they have any physical education classes? Mr. Song’s arrival really changed a lot. Whether he stays after his internship or not, all the teachers in the school are very grateful to him.”
Xiao Ji remained leaning against the door, watching the two young girls sitting quietly by the hospital bed, staring at Song Jinyu without saying a word or even showing any expression.
"Are these the little brats you complain about and make a fuss with on WeChat Moments?"
Song Jinyu also watched for a while, "Because they've both grown up. At first, the one who was the most mischievous was the one holding the doll. On my first day there, I was feeding her lunch, and she bit me. She would also catch dead mice and put them in the drawer, and secretly hide the fruit fork..."
He turned his head and whispered in Xiao Ji's ear, "Did you see that long scar on that other girl's hand? When I was interning for a month, she picked up a sharp piece of wood and started sharpening it little by little. When she was discovered, the cut was quite deep. Later, I followed her around every day, and she thought I was a stalker, so she grabbed me and bit me."
"I gave them both nicknames: one is called Violent Little Dinosaur, and the other is called Ninja Little Superman."
Xiao Ji remained silent for a long time.
Ultraman, wearing a cape, climbed onto the hospital bed. His bright red and blue outfit was very eye-catching, and the two little girls who were originally looking straight ahead couldn't help but look down at him.
Ultraman did a 360-degree spin on the soft blanket, jumped up, and then landed, his cape fluttering in the air, creating a dazzling silhouette.
Xiao Ji squatted by the bed and turned on the switch on the back of Ultraman. Laser beams shot out from Ultraman's eyes and landed on the man's hand resting on the bedside.
The two little girls looked over, their fingers curled, and were then grabbed and kicked by Ultraman who rushed over, finally collapsing onto the bed and not moving.
Then their giggles filled the ward.
Xiao Ji's voice softened a few degrees, "This is called Ultraman. He's more powerful than Superman and Ultraman. He's an omnipotent hero and Goldfish Teacher's favorite toy. Goldfish Teacher asked me to give it to you."
He placed the Ultraman figure in front of the girl who didn't have a toy.
The girl looked at Xiao Ji timidly, seemingly a little afraid of him.
The Ultraman in his hand moved again, standing in the man's palm and striking a cool pose towards her.
The girl quickly hugged the Ultraman figure to her arms, and tears rolled down her cheeks again, but she remembered what Song Jinyu had said: you should say thank you if you take something from someone else.
"Thanks……"
The girl holding the doll looked over, and Xiao Ji took out another pink bunny from his backpack.
The moment he took it out, the pink bunny's ears stood up.
The pink bunny sat shyly on the bed, sometimes cupping its face in its hands, sometimes making a heart shape with its hands.
So the little girl holding the doll couldn't take her eyes off it.
Xiao Ji picked up the pink bunny. "This was also given to you by Teacher Goldfish. It's his favorite toy."
"Now he has given you his two favorite toys. He hopes that you can take good care of yourselves in his absence. Can you do that?"
The two little girls hugged their own dolls and nodded.
Xiao Ji's broad shoulders completely blocked Song Jinyu's movements on the bed, so the female teacher didn't see anything and thought Xiao Ji was just coaxing the student.
She looked away. “Schools often recruit teachers, but special education schools are completely different from regular schools. We are more like doctors than teachers. Even though the school has a dedicated doctor, the pressure on teachers is much greater than that on regular teachers, so people keep leaving.”
"Teacher Song is different from many teachers I have met."
She had been working at the school for a long time, and the physical education classes were practically non-existent until Song Jinyu came.
She was the one who helped him get familiar with the school's procedures and work. He didn't have the kind of tiredness she often saw in him; he always seemed sunny and full of energy.
Every time she thinks of Song Jinyu, the first thing that comes to mind is his smile.
He was bitten on his first day of work, and his hand was covered in blood, but he was still smiling.
He was smiling even as the sharp fork pierced his fingertips.
Children's thoughts and behaviors are difficult to control, and many teachers don't want to cause any trouble, so they try to avoid communicating with them if possible.
But Song Jinyu was different; he insisted on provoking them.
So he laughed when he ate a bun with sand in it, and he laughed when he pulled a bug out of his clothes...
Most of the children in the school are intellectually disabled or severely autistic. During class, the students just sit quietly with silent and empty eyes.
Physical education class became a personal celebration for Song Jinyu.
He patiently led them through a simple game of eagle catching chicks for a whole month, explaining the simple rules over and over again.
Later, they would call him—
Teacher Goldfish.
In her eyes, Teacher Goldfish had no worries. The first time she saw him sad was half a month before Song Jinyu fell into a coma.
He was holding his phone, looking a little sad. Even though their relationship wasn't that close, she still couldn't help but go up to him.
"Teacher Song..."
Song Jinyu looked up and asked her.
"Tell me, am I really annoying?"
