There is a difference between being attacked and almost getting into a car accident or almost drowning.
The other party's ferocious expression left a big shadow on her.
She always remembered the frightened and pale face she saw in the other person's crazy eyes.
…
For the next two months, her father or mother sent her to school every day.
It was precisely because she was so scared that she was so grateful to Ji Meng who saved her.
After that time, she wanted to thank Ji Meng countless times.
But Ji Meng's impatience, disgust and anger always kept her away.
In the end, she became a snail that retracted into its shell.
Nothing was said.
…
"Finished?"
Ji Meng glanced at Xiao Xiao, "Then I'm leaving?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the girl.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
…
The girl pursed her lips.
What I want to say...
She squeezed her fingers.
Then he shook his head.
"there is none left."
…
After the girl finished speaking, Ji Meng opened the door of the tea room and walked out.
"Bang~"
A sound that is neither light nor heavy.
Ji Meng's figure disappeared behind the closed door.
…
It was very quiet in the tea room.
The girl raised her eyes and stared blankly at the closed door.
There are some indescribable feelings in my heart.
…
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Familiar questions.
The girl tilted her head.
What I want to say...
…
"Sit down first."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The girl looked back.
Then sat down.
"What I want to say..."
The girl pursed her lips slightly, "I've already said what I want to say most."
"Thank you, big brother."
If her elder brother hadn't stopped Ji Meng just now, her words and her gratitude would not have been conveyed to Ji Meng.
In that case, she will regret it for a long time.
…
"actually……"
The girl pinched her fingers and said, "Besides those, I seem to have something else to say."
"But...it seems there is no need to say anything..."
The girl lowered her head and spoke slowly.
"We have been together for a long time..."
"Although we have always disliked each other-"
"No."
The girl shook her head slightly, "It hates me, I'm afraid of it..."
"But because of this..."
The girl reached out and gently touched the inside of her wrist.
The location where the mark was previously.
"We were forced to be tied together."
"Obviously we didn't have any good memories before..."
"No."
The girl shook her head slightly again.
"It saved me."
Although being in danger is definitely not a good memory.
But being rescued cannot be said to be a bad memory.
"I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore..."
The girl slumped her shoulders in frustration.
"I am……"
"It's gone...maybe we'll never see each other again..."
"It's been with me for a long time."
"I'm timid, afraid of strangers, and always alone."
"But……"
"Actually, I'm not alone."
The girl stumbled a bit as she spoke.
"Even if I keep pretending it doesn't exist."
"I know it."
"There has always been a special presence beside me."
"It's scary."
"It hates me."
"But it is always by my side...accompanying me."
The girl almost said the last few words in her mouth.
"I pretended that I couldn't see it or hear its sound."
"It's not easy."
"Because it's not a quiet one."
"Uh, monster?"
The girl was a little unsure.
To this day, she still doesn't know what kind of creature it is.
"It will laugh at me and tease me."
"I like to see me unlucky."
"My embarrassed look will make it smile happily."
…
"I have no idea……"
The girl's fingers scraped gently on the back of her hand.
"But it makes me feel like I'm alone even when I'm alone."
...
In the classroom after class... In physical education class on the playground... Going to the cafeteria to eat... When I was a student on duty...
Everyone was in groups, chatting and laughing.
She was doing her own thing silently.
Even if she's used to it-
She was not a sociable person to begin with.
Even if she didn't have the nickname "Rain Girl", she still didn't have any friends who were good enough to chat with her after class, go to gym class, or have dinner together.
She is always alone.
Occasionally...she also feels lonely.
Just by chance.
After all, she was used to it and she didn't think there was anything wrong with being alone.
But, after it comes...
She no longer even had the occasional loneliness.
It's always noisy around her.
Her attention is all on self-hypnosis, how can she still feel lonely?
...
Since it came, she is no longer alone.
…
"Now that it's gone, I-"
"You won't become a human being."
Xiao Xiao interrupted the girl with a gentle tone.
The girl's eyes widened.
But he didn't raise his head.
…
"Now it won't rain around you often."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly, "Your classmates will find out about this."
"But it will take some time."
"You have to be patient."
"And... be bold."
"Just a few will be enough."
"For example, when you make eye contact with your classmates, don't lower your head and smile at them."
"that's it."
"Very simple, isn't it?"
"You are a special girl who used to be surrounded by monsters. How can you be afraid of ordinary humans?"
"Do they have a plan to be scary?"
…
No……
A little burning heat fell on the back of my hand.
The girl couldn't help but wince.
Her shoulders trembled slightly.
She...is scared.
She didn't think too much before coming.
It was Ji Meng who insisted on her coming.
She came over.
However, the mark really disappeared, and Ji Meng really left...
She realized belatedly that she had become a human again.
…
In the past, she was used to being alone.
However, after Ji Meng appeared, she no longer knew what a person looked like.
Thinking that she will be the only one from now on...
so quiet.
very scary.
so lonely.
she……
…
"Do you regret it?"
The girl suddenly raised her head.
Revealing red eyes.
Then the girl seemed to react and covered her face.
…
"Do you regret it?"
The eldest brother didn't react to her embarrassed look, which made the girl sigh in relief.
But this question...
Do you regret it...?
she……
The girl shook her head slowly, "...no."
"It would be unfair to Ji Meng if the seal cannot be unlocked."
Even if Ji Meng was... unfriendly to her, it would be an understatement.
But that's because she trapped it...
imprinted on her body.
Even if she doesn't know anything.
She couldn't say she was innocent either.
They had been together for so long, and Ji Meng had never hurt anyone else.
