Chapter 98: Noon
At noon, the temperature rose, and the shadows cast by the walls on both sides became shorter and narrower. There was no shade, and the four of them simply stopped exploring.
They are resting in a fruit shop.
Many shops and concrete together form this "enclosed wall".
There are watermelons in the fruit shop, and ice cream in the shaved ice shop next door. There are too many mirrors in the decoration of that shop, chatting and laughing quickly scooped up a few ice creams and ran away without daring to stay longer.
Bai Youwei ate watermelon and turned on the air conditioner, sighing again in her heart: Electricity is really a great invention.
Tanxiao found a sporting goods store on top of the fruit shop, so he wanted to climb up to have a look on a whim. Teacher Cheng was afraid that he would fall, so he went out with a watermelon in his hands, watching nervously from below.
It's quiet all around, except for the hum of the air conditioner.
Bai Youwei stopped after eating a few mouthfuls of watermelon, her eyes narrowed slightly, the tranquility of the afternoon made her feel drowsy.
The dozen or so pieces of watermelon in front of her had been gnawed once, and each of the triangular watermelon petals lacked the top sharp corner.
Shen Mo was speechless.
Although she can eat all the watermelons in the store, such a reckless behavior cannot be done by ordinary people.
I was about to say a few words to her, but I saw that she had already closed her eyes and dozed off. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
...
Bai Youwei's nap didn't last too long.
Tan Xiao threw a baseball bat from upstairs, which woke her up with a bang.
Shen Mo saw her eyes widen at that moment, like a frightened cat, and even the pupils were shining brightly. He thought she was going to have another seizure, but she just stayed there for two seconds before returning to normal.
Didn't even wake up.
Talking and laughing, she threw several things down again, and she went out with great interest, and being in a wheelchair did not prevent her from joining in the fun: "Is there any more? Is there any more?"
Talking and laughing, he shouted loudly: "Do you want roller skates?"
Bai Youwei: "Throw it down, throw it down!"
Shen Mo: "..."
He asked, "What do you want roller skates for?"
"Don't do anything." Bai Youwei looked at the high place with bright eyes, "It's fun to watch him throw things."
Shen Mo: "..."
...
Tanxiao likes sports, so he turned the sporting goods store upside down. He likes basketball, football and badminton, and sports shoes, sports caps and sweatshirts are also his favorite.
He threw down a pile of sports goods, and then picked and picked through the pile of goods with Mr. Cheng.
Shen Mo stood not far away chatting with Bai Youwei: "Why is there only talking and laughing?"
"Because he's too simple." Bai Youwei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "There is no dark side, no careful thinking, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is on the surface, such a person, the mirror can't do anything about him."
Shen Moruo felt something, "That thing in the mirror is our dark side?"
"It can't be said to be the dark side..." Bai Youwei thought for a while, and then put it another way, "It's more like a negative expression, something we subconsciously hate, avoid, and don't want to accept. Teacher Cheng seems to have a heart Open-mindedness is actually afraid of being weak and aging day by day, but you, righteous and self-sacrificing, look like a hero..."
She paused and squinted her eyes slightly to look at Shen Mo, "But in fact, you don't care about this world at all. You save people and help people only because of professional requirements or the influence of education since childhood. Your heart is actually stronger than anyone else's." cold."
Shen Mo stared at her deeply.
His pupils are pitch black, like an endless abyss, where all emotions are hidden deep.
After a while, he said, "What about you?"
"me……"
Bai Youwei recalled that crying face, and couldn't help chuckling.
"I'm a coward."
