An He's mother saw An He arriving home and scolded her for not telling the family that guests were coming, leaving her unprepared.
guest?
Anhe glanced at the piles of beautifully wrapped gift boxes in the corner of the room. A life-size bear doll had been opened. A Darkrai controlled the bear and was discussing with the young man sitting on the sofa.
What are you wearing?
An He, who instantly realized that this was Master Acerola and Shijana, was about to say something when Luther stood up and walked towards her.
"Do you need help taking it upstairs?" Luther pointed to the doll wearing a bear.
The originally organized words were completely disrupted by this sentence. Anhe looked at Luther's face for a long time and finally nodded.
Seeing Darkrai carrying the bear doll to the second floor, Anhe was still a little confused. She didn't know why she agreed.
"Interested in talking?"
Facing Luther's invitation, Anhe glanced at her mother and Shijana who were busy in the kitchen, and did not refuse.
Being exposed to the cold wind outside, An He's mind became clearer. She looked at Luther and said, "I heard Acerola talk about you."
"I also heard Shijana talking about you." Luther smiled.
"That must not be a good thing, right?" An He joked.
"Indeed, she said you seemed very difficult to get along with and acted very cold, which made her feel a little overwhelmed."
The corners of Anhe's mouth raised slightly. Shijana's description was indeed correct. She gave people a very indifferent feeling whether in school or in daily life.
Facing Xijana, a guy who was played around by Yuan Qi and the others, she had no interest at all at first.
"Why did you come to my house suddenly?" An He couldn't help but ask.
Luther said: "After all, Shijana is a child with relatively little experience. She has not learned from me and Mai in dealing with others, and she is not as good as Acerola."
"So she will be deceived by strange people, and the amount of trust she puts in becomes a bit ridiculous."
Is this what it means to call an army to investigate?
If it was a crime investigation, he wouldn't bring so many gifts to his door.
"It's because of Yuan Qi's matter. Then you have found the wrong person. I neither participated nor stopped it. I am not Xijana's friend, nor is I the person who cheated her."
Luther stared at An He with a smile, not commenting on what she said.
An He felt a little uncomfortable being looked at and said, "What...what are you doing?"
"Acerola told me that you hate Shijana."
Luther walked up to An He, the smile in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by seriousness.
In the howling cold wind, something seemed to be flowing in those eyes, which made An He, who wanted to lie, close his mouth as soon as he opened it.
Outside the house, with only Feng Xue as witness, the silent Anhe took a deep breath and nodded.
"Not only do I hate her, I'm also jealous of her."
The moment he said it, An He felt much more relaxed, and the words stuck in his throat began to flow out one after another.
"Why do you think Yuan Qi uses Xijana as an ATM machine?"
"Not only because Shijana is rich, but also because Shijana should be deceived. She is enviable and enviable."
"Before Shijana introduced her life experience, everyone only regarded her as a guy with a weak head. However, after hearing about that chance encounter with you, I'm afraid not many people can have a balanced mentality."
"It sounds tacky. My thoughts are similar to those of Yuan Qi and others."
"Why Shijana? Why is Shijana better than us? Why can't it be me?"
These questions are the true reflections of the hearts of the people who heard about Shijana's life experience.
"In your opinion, maybe my idea is stupid, right?" An He said indifferently, "But even a trainer like me would imagine that I can be favored and cultivated by others."
"I know that such secret thoughts and uncontrollable jealousy are not good, but I can't control it, so I chose to watch."
"Yuan Qi bullies Xijana, I will not participate."
"They use Shijana as a cash machine, but I ignore it."
"After listening to this, are you sure you still want to put those gifts in my house?" An He looked directly at Luther, "I'm no better than Yuan Qi and the others."
Luther grinned and smiled.
"Would you like to hear a story about Sirona?"
Luther didn't mean to consult An He, and after speaking, he introduced Sirona's history of training and guiding outstanding new trainers.
"Human emotions are so complex and changeable. Through Soujiro, I learned that those people didn't hate Sirona at all, but they just didn't know how to face myself who had had that kind of emotion."
"They respect Sirona and love her, and they deeply feel that her appearance has brought a unique brightness to their career as a trainer."
"But at the same time, Sirona's existence also makes them feel torment all the time, and they feel that their failure has failed Sirona's cultivation."
"They hate themselves for blaming others for their incompetence, but they can't find a better way to restrain this thought, so they can only hate something in a way that makes them sick."
"the same as you."
Luther's words struck An He's heart, and the sound echoed in her mind, making her ears buzz.
"In your opinion, Shijana should be someone different from you, and you are a villain who covets her fortune."
"You hope Sijana can stay away from you because you think of her. You say you hate her to make yourself feel more comfortable. Is what I said really what you are thinking?"
The street lights outside the house flickered, seemingly dimming at any time in the wind and snow.
In the house, the laughter of Shijana and Acerola could be heard, still so energetic.
Luther patted the silent An He on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It is not easy to overcome this kind of emotion, but after you succeed, it will benefit your mentality a lot."
"Anhe, your understanding like this proves that you are a smart child. Learn to grow up and understand what Xijana has experienced besides 'luck' to achieve the strength she has today."
"You are the only one among that group of people who is willing to stand up for Shijana. I can see that you have always regarded Shijana as a friend, but you just can't express it correctly."
"Tonight, I'll give you a chance to be more frank."
An He bit his lip and asked hesitantly: "Am I really qualified?"
An He regretted it after saying that. She clearly didn't think so!
Luther, who saw through An He's inconsistency, smiled slightly.
"If you think you are not qualified, then you will never have the chance to be friends with Shijana in the future."
