Dragon Clan: Retired Death, goes to work to slay dragons

"..."

Look at the other person's face hidden by his messy long hair.

Lu Mingfei sighed, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and asked, "How do you feel?"

The girl's legs were still a little weak, and she managed to stand still tremblingly.

But soon his body began to sway again, as if he might fall at any time.

Could this man be mute?

Or were you just frightened?

"If you're afraid, don't do such dangerous things."

Seeing that she still lowered her head and said nothing, Lu Mingfei scratched his head in distress.

Simply not caring about whether men and women were kissing each other, he helped the girl to a stone bench on the rooftop.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from somewhere, took out a piece of chocolate, tore it open and handed it to her: "Are you suffering from hypoglycemia? Eat a piece of chocolate and drink some water to calm down."

"Thank you... thank you." The girl took the chocolate and water blankly.

Then he ate the slightly melted chocolate without showing any doubt.

He drank a few more gulps of water, and his rapid and delicate breathing gradually calmed down.

Lu Mingfei sat down next to him with a distance of two meters, his eyes seemed to be looking at the busy traffic below.

The orange-yellow streetlights passed over the bodies of those cars one by one, just like passing by countless stars. The sound of the passing traffic was like the fine flow of river water on the beach, which inexplicably calmed people's minds.

"That, here you go."

A timid voice from beside him interrupted Lu Mingfei's thoughts.

He subconsciously turned his head to look beside him, and saw a slightly pale face, but there was already a little more blood in the paleness.

Although it doesn't look very stunning, it is more like the kind that is more attractive.

The girl's hands were holding a warm piece of bread, which looked very warm as it steamed on a slightly cold winter night.

"Oh, thank you."

Seeing the other party's serious look, Lu Mingfei subconsciously took the bread.

What is this? Reciprocity?

I always feel that this girl looks a bit dazed. She was clearly about to jump off the building just now...

"Oh ho ho! Hot, hot, hot!!" Lu Mingfei was thinking, but after taking the bread, he jumped up like a monkey.

Even though there were three layers of oil-absorbing paper, my hands still burned so hard that I hissed and changed my hands.

"Ah! I...I'm sorry!" The girl was startled by his sudden appearance, and was scurrying around, not knowing what to do.

"It's okay, it's okay. I made the fuss."

Lu Mingfei grinned and waved his hand. He felt the bread was getting cold and took a bite.

The moment the strawberry filling exploded in his mouth, his eyes lit up while he was still a little helpless, and he suddenly felt that the perm was worth it.

"Hmm! It's delicious." Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up and asked subconsciously, "Can I ask where you bought this?"

"This... I did it myself."

The girl hesitated for a moment before whispering back, and took out a bit of bread from her arms, but it looked like it should be filled with blueberries.

"Oh, then your craftsmanship is very good. I feel like you can open a store." Lu Mingfei said like an idiot.

"..."

Perhaps because he didn't know what to do, the girl didn't talk to him anymore, and the rooftop fell into silence for a while.

The two of them sat on stone chairs, each holding a piece of bread.

The one who ate big mouths looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, and the one who ate small mouths looked like a hamster.

They didn't look at each other next to them, but looked at the night scene below, which unexpectedly seemed a bit harmonious.

However, Lu Mingfei looked at the girl next to him from the corner of his eye from time to time, feeling that the inexplicable familiarity was getting stronger and stronger.

"You are...Xie Wan?"

Lu Mingfei thought of the girl sitting in the last row of the class, who usually lowered her head like a little transparent girl.

Just like her ordinary name, Lu Mingfei had no impression of her.

To some extent, the other party is more "transparent" than him.

At least he is often pulled out and teased, but Xie Wan really seems to be an invisible person.

If he hadn't taken a look at the class roster in the afternoon because of the volunteer survey, he might not have been able to recognize it now.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and joy at the thought of his classmate almost jumping off the building in front of him.

"Yes." The girl nodded, "You are Lu Mingfei."

"Yeah, I'm Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei, whose mind was in confusion, nodded.

The two fell into silence again for a while, which was a little more awkward than before.

"Do you... think I'm abnormal?" After a long time, Xie Wan suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, "Why do you think so?"

"Why didn't you ask me what I was doing just now?" She turned around with a pretending relaxed smile.

"Uh, okay, what were you doing just now?" Looking at the girl's side face, Lu Mingfei felt a little funny for some reason.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to experience the feeling of fear."

She looked at Lu Mingfei expectantly, as if waiting for Lu Mingfei to say something like "I see" and "You're so boring".

But Lu Mingfei just raised his head and said "Oh", and the cool night breeze blew his shirt close to his sides.

"Aren't you bored?" The girl suddenly felt depressed.

"No, as long as you don't want to commit suicide." Lu Mingfei smiled, "If you want to say something, I can also be a good tree hole."

"...I don't know what to say." The girl's mouth moved slightly, and finally she lowered her head.

"Oh." Lu Mingfei touched his chin, "Are you afraid of something?"

The girl raised her head with her mouth slightly open and stared at Lu Mingfei dumbfounded. Her expression seemed to be asking him: How do you know?

Of course I know.

Lu Mingfei said happily in his heart.

Because isn't it because he is afraid every time he comes here? Hahaha.

"So, what are you afraid of?" Lu Mingfei asked again with a casual smile.

"Me." The girl's expression changed from surprise to despair, and she lowered her head and said, "I'm a little afraid of being alone... Doesn't it feel weird?"

"How could it be?" Lu Mingfei shook his head and asked, "Then, why?"

He could tell that this "little transparent" seemed a little worried that he would find him annoying, but what he was best at was keeping his emotions contained and not showing them at all.

Girls of this age like to feel sad about spring and autumn. In fact, this is what he and Chen Wenwen talked about most before.

If the girl in front of him were Chen Wenwen, who was more thoughtful, she would probably ask him softly: You don't find me annoying, do you?

Whenever this happened, Lu Mingfei would scratch his head and laugh dryly: How could that be?

Yes, why would it be annoying?

A girl brings her precious toys in front of you, which contains things she least wants to share with others.

In Lu Mingfei's view, the girl actually seemed to be saying to herself: Look, I only want to tell you this, so are you willing to listen to me?

He was always a good listener, not commenting but always acting like I was listening.

So he is quite good at being a listener, but he is just not good at telling his thoughts.

"In fact, I do not know."

The girl looked at the busy traffic in the distance and said blankly: "I don't know when it started. I am just afraid of being alone. I am afraid when I am alone. The more afraid I am, the more I want to get close to them."

"But if I get too close, my friends who had a good relationship with me will gradually become bored, and eventually..."

She lowered her head and her voice suddenly lowered: "It's the same even in a crowd. The feeling of fear is even deeper."

"One time I was walking on a busy street and looked at the bustling crowds around me. Do you know how I felt at that time? The feeling of being rejected by the whole world..."

As she spoke, she hugged her curled-up legs with trembling hands, took a deep breath, and then coughed heartbreakingly.

This girl seems to have some kind of lung disease.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and patted her back.

When her breathing became steady, Lu Mingfei said thoughtfully: "Have you ever thought that maybe you are not afraid of being alone, but you are afraid that... others will ignore you?"

"Have you ever seen a psychiatrist before?"

"Ignore... maybe." The girl was stunned for a while, then hugged her knees and whispered, "Do you think I have a mental problem?"

"No, no, no, I don't think so." Lu Mingfei waved his hands quickly and laughed dryly, "Maybe you just have a little... um, a mental disorder."

"You are afraid of being alone, and some people are afraid of crowds. Almost everyone has psychological disorders, but they vary in degree. In fact, it is not a serious disease."

"Well, speaking of this, I actually thought of a way." Lu Mingfei touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Maybe you can try raising a dog, maybe it can alleviate your fear. Woolen cloth?"

"Is it really possible?" The girl listened doubtfully, but her expression became more relaxed. "Thank you, I'll go back and try it. By the way, are you afraid of anything?"

"Me." Lu Mingfei took a bite of bread in silence and smiled mysteriously, "I have nothing to be afraid of, I just have a girl I like..."

"Is it Chen Wenwen?"

Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, the girl interrupted him directly.

Lu Mingfei was so frightened that he bit his tongue, but he ignored the excruciating pain and looked at the girl next to him with a horrified look on his face. His expression seemed to be asking her: How could you know?

"Is it strange?"

The girl's eyes were even more confused than his, and she asked, "It's not a secret in the class that Lu Mingfei likes Chen Wenwen, right?"

Lu Mingfei subconsciously wanted to say something funny to say haha, but after seeing the other party's expression, he couldn't say those bad words.

In fact, from Lu Mingfei's point of view, exposing one's scars to others without permission is actually a very boring thing.

Because they already have enough on their backs.

Sharing one's own misfortunes and forcing them to understand tragedies that they don't need to understand will only increase their troubles and make them feel like they are showing off how heavy their baggage is.

Maybe get some sympathy?

But Lu Mingfei never liked this and always kept things in his heart.

Express sadness appropriately, express joy appropriately, greet others appropriately, and keep distance appropriately.

But since when did it become known to the whole world that he likes Chen Wenwen?

"..." He felt depressed and could only nodded with a wry smile, "Do you think I'm stupid too?"

"You're not stupid." The girl looked at Lu Mingfei and whispered, "So, what do you like about her?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, looked up at the sky and said distressedly: "If you ask me to tell you, I can't tell you."

"You don't even know why you like her, how can you dare to say that you like her?" The girl looked directly at him and her words were somewhat straightforward.

"If you don't know, you just don't know. If you like it, you like it!" Lu Mingfei's mood suddenly became irritable, like bubbles bubbling up.

"I like bread with strawberry filling because it is very sweet. You said you like bread with blueberry filling because it is sour and sweet. But why do you like a mixture of sweet and sour? Can you give me a reason? ?!”

Lu Mingfei's gradually amplified voice floated into the distant night sky. The girl looked at him in silence and fell into calmness for a while.

"...I'm sorry." Lu Mingfei sighed, "I didn't mean to yell at you, I'm just...stupid."

Really.

I originally wanted to appease this girl, but why did I get so angry?

But the girl didn't say anything. She looked into the distance and whispered, "You are so gentle."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei was startled.

"You're right, what's the reason to like someone?"

The girl lowered her head and smiled inexplicably, and said, "You don't want to fight or grab. Are you afraid of being rejected?"

"Probably not. I actually envy you. You can move around easily among that group of people. I think even if you are rejected, as long as you are willing to give up, you can still be friends like before."

"So, I guess, what you are afraid of may be... change? Are you afraid that the silent understanding between you and Chen Wenwen will change? Are you afraid that everything you have now will be broken because of a momentary impulse?"

"You keep saying in your heart that this is enough now. This is enough. You have family, friends, and people you like. At least you won't lose anything anymore. At least you don't have nothing now, right?"

The girl blinked and whispered: "You are a coward like me...but I can't help you."

Lu Mingfei looked down at the bread in his hand, lost his mind for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing angrily in his heart.

Being called a coward by a girl who is afraid of emptiness, loneliness and coldness.

The last person who said this was the little devil.

"Yes, yes, I don't seek advancement and am willing to fall. No one will like me!"

Lu Mingfei replied angrily, then lowered his head and looked at his phone: "I won't tell you anymore, I want to buy something for my aunt. If I don't go, I don't know if I will fall or not, and my aunt will definitely chop me up." ”

After saying that, leaving the slightly disappointed girl behind, Lu Mingfei stood up and wanted to leave.

"Hey!" A girl's voice suddenly came from behind, "Actually, I quite like you."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei staggered and ran away without looking back. A burst of laughter suddenly sounded behind him.

When his figure completely disappeared from sight, leaving only a person on the empty rooftop and the silent and majestic night sky above the city, the smile on the girl's face gradually dissipated.

"...Do you want to get a dog?" She lowered her head, her face shrouded in shadow, "Will you abandon me in the end?"

Just like them.
