085 Xi Xiao's Decision
ah……
What on earth am I doing?
I'm probably mentally retarded.
It actually brought the two-dimensional story into reality.
In reality, there are so many people who cannot survive.
simply……
What a shame.
Only 0.5 seconds before Lin Huan's head hit the edge wall of Xixiao's balcony, Lin Huan realized that classmate Xixiao, who was standing very high, was just collecting the sheets. Depending on the weather conditions, it would indeed be necessary soon.
It looks like it's raining.
But... we can no longer look back...
Because of Lin Huan's staggering in a hurry, he hit his head hard on the wall of Xixiao's house, which really shocked Xixiao.
"Classmate Lin Huan? Nothing, nothing, right?"
Because the situation was so urgent, Xi Xiao had no time to write or sign. She pushed Lin Huan anxiously while asking about Lin Huan's situation in an unclear voice.
"I... I'm okay." Lin Huan covered his head and slowly sat down cross-legged with Xi Xiao's support, "It's just... I'm a little dizzy."
[Don’t worry, classmate Xixiao. Gou Huan is a dog’s head, he can’t be killed.]
Xia Mo chuckled at the side and mocked Lin Huan for asking you not to ask me to come in first.
However, in that case, if Xixiao was really seeking suicide, I would probably regret it for the rest of my life.
After all, Xia Mo has no body, so even if she sees her, she can't save Xi Xiao.
[I’m really sorry—I’m obviously here to visit you on behalf of my classmates.]
Lin Huan had just hit his head and twisted it, and now he was lying on the bed - making sign language in Xixiao's room.
[It doesn’t matter] Xixiao had already taken off the hearing aid and put it on at this time. She made sign language to Lin Huan, [I am very happy that Lin Huan can come to visit me]
Very happy... right?
There was something like a fever-reducing patch on Xixiao's forehead. According to her explanation, she did have a fever last night after she and Lu Mingxue went home. She didn't have any energy when she got up this morning, so she asked for leave - a matter of leave.
It's all Xiaoxue's help. Lin Huan didn't reply last night because he had a fever and went to bed very early.
As for the reason why the door was left open, it was because I was sorting out the garbage bags just now and preparing to take them out and put them out later.
[Really, don’t you need to go to the hospital?] Xi Xiao looked at Lin Huan with concern.
"No, no need... I just have a little pain in my neck. It's much better now."
Phew... The bed is filled with the scent of Xixiao's body, a bit like citrus-flavored shampoo.
Lin Huan felt that his current posture was very embarrassing, so he took the opportunity to find a topic to talk about, "When you returned to the classroom yesterday, no one bullied you, right?"
Xixiao shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled, "Everyone is very kind to me."
Seeing Xixiao's expression, Lin Huan would think of what Qinghua said to him yesterday.
"I... met Qinghua-san yesterday."
Xixiao stopped twisting the towel, and Lin Huan continued, "She told me... what happened between you and her."
【so】
After finishing the sign language, classmate Xixiao squinted her eyes and smiled at Lin Huan. She continued to twist the towel and wipe Lin Huan's elbows and lower back that were swollen due to impulse. Cold compresses can reduce the swelling.
Am I... the timing is a little wrong?
Well... after all, this posture is indeed a bit perverted.
Moreover - at this time, I deliberately bring up other people's sad past, what on earth am I doing? I...
As a result, Xixiao, who was applying cold compress to Lin Huan's wound, suddenly raised her head.
"The scene just now...is a bit like "The Shape of Sound"."
Xixiao is no longer afraid of showing Lin Huan her unclear speech.
"Ah...yeah." Lin Huan immediately remembered that Xixiao's avatar was Nishimiya Glass. Even though it was just a story in the second dimension, for Xixiao, the sense of substitution should be very strong.
"I...seem to be just as annoying as Nishimiya in the past. I myself am also very annoying now."
"Ah...why do you hate me? Classmate Xixiao, you clearly -"
"Obviously, she is a disabled person, but she always wants to live... a normal life." Classmate Xixiao always feels very strenuous when she speaks. Despite this, she still tries her best to speak every word.
Said.
"If I... don't bother others, it will be very difficult to survive in school."
"But, I also know that it is wrong to trouble others."
"No one has to help me."
"Even classmate Lin Huan is the same."
"So...I was very happy when I heard that you were learning sign language by yourself. But I was also very sad."
"Because. Last time, the person who took the initiative to learn sign language on her own for me was... Qinghua-san."
Last time...?
Lu Mingxue and Xi Xiao seem to have known each other since childhood, so sign language should be a basic skill for Lu Mingxue; after that, there may be many people who know a little bit of sign language, but at most they will be like Songlan.
To a certain extent, I gradually became familiar with it through daily communication with Xixiao. If I really wanted to learn sign language by myself just for Xixiao, the cost of time and energy would be too high.
Lin Huan has vaguely noticed that Qinghua's transfer seems to have become a landmark event for Xixiao to close herself off. Judging from Xixiao's character, she will probably never rely on Qinghua again after that.
Because he is not alone with other classmates, he is not only kept at a distance by his classmates, but there are also only a handful of people who can truly be called friends.
Although doing that would prevent an experience like Qinghua from happening again, which would then bring misfortune to others as Xixiao said, it would also plunge Xixiao into a closed world - if not for her childhood sweetheart Lu Ming
If snow existed, it would be hard to imagine how lonely Xixiao would be.
"Xixiao...you don't have to be sad about this." Lin Huan ignored Xi Xiao's dissuasion and struggled to get up from the bed - after all, it was a bit embarrassing to lie down like this when talking to others about business.
"As you can see...I'm a loser...or as Momo puts it, I'm a useless doghead. Even a doghead like me...will look for something worth relying on, or
Say, trust me. After all, Goutou can't rely on whatever he wants... And in my opinion, being able to be relied on by Xi Xiao - this is just a hypothesis, assuming I'm not mistaken... to me
Say, that is also my kind of [sustenance].”
"Send...entrust?"
Lin Huan held his neck. No matter what, he felt that he was probably very funny now, so he kept straightening his head.
"What I mean is... being able to be relied on by classmate Xixiao, I think it is something worthy of showing off. And... it was you, classmate Xixiao, who first talked to me, right? I couldn't imagine that being able to communicate with
Classmate Xixiao has become the friend we have now - yes, yes, if it weren’t for classmate Xixiao, I would never have known Lu Mingxue, I would have had no chance to meet Apopo and Yuma, and I would have had no chance to understand Momo’s existence.
The sense points have been raised to today’s level, isn’t it?”
"So I think [dependence] is a mutual behavior. The person who relies on gets help, and the person who is relied on also gets satisfaction. The reason why something like that happened to you and Qinghua-san is entirely because you didn't act like
We have had good communication now - in my opinion, when Qinghua-san told this incident, she didn't feel like she still disliked you at all. Because she herself admitted that you are really gentle."
However, because there was no good communication, and also because Xixiao had the same gentle attitude towards everyone and was unwilling to hurt anyone, she seemed to be very holy in Qinghua's eyes...
Huh... It seems like I just said a series of high-sounding and amazing chicken soup for the soul... I'm so ashamed that I'm dying.
I'm obviously a dog-headed person... I don't have any life experiences to talk about.
However, these are just some general principles I have learned from the anime I have watched.
I saw classmate Xixiao pursed her lips. When she slowly raised her head with a bright smile, Lin Huan suddenly felt like fireworks blooming in her heart - just like the famous scene in "The Shape of Sound".
"Can I rely on classmate Lin Huan again, just once?"
"Ah... um! Of course, you can tell me! We... we are friends." Lin Huan scratched the back of his head. He had no courage to look into Xi Xiao's eyes anymore.
Xixiao nodded, using sign language and voice to express her feelings,
"I want to apologize to Qinghua-san, reconcile with her, and then become friends with her again."
Xixiao held her right hand with her left hand and paused hard on her chest.
