Xinghe's malicious emotions were eroding towards Yu Mingshu without any concealment.
But Yu Mingshu didn't care.
There are always all kinds of weird people appearing in every place. For example, in an orphanage where the rule is that you can't go out and you will be punished corporally if you go out, Yu Mingshu is not surprised that children like Xinghe will appear.
However, Yu Mingshu really couldn't tell that such a Xinghe liked reading. As expected, not only the Batu people couldn't judge the appearance, but humans also knew the other person's personality, but it didn't mean they fully understood what kind of person the other person was.
Books are an important way to acquire knowledge. Yu Mingshu believes that if you want to understand a place, you must first understand the local culture, and the things that can coordinate a local culture can be discovered through books.
The Milky Way was his first time here, and the Earth was a place Yu Mingshu didn't understand. He chose to stay in this orphanage just because he didn't want to make too much noise.
Now in the entire orphanage, it seems that only Xinghe has collected so many books, and Yu Mingshu feels that he should still strive for it.
"Xinghe!" Yu Mingshu didn't take Xinghe's nervous laughter seriously at all. His eyes were bright and his expression was calm, "Can I go to your room and read your books?"
Xinghe's laughter stopped abruptly.
He had never seen such a bold person who actually wanted to go to his room and read his book.
Staring at Zhong Chong with a strange look, Xinghe didn't expect that Zhong Chong would tell so many things to Yu Mingshu, the little brat who had just arrived, even telling him that there were books in his room.
Zhong Chong, who had always looked fierce because he didn't want to be approached by others and couldn't be approached by others, actually looked as calm as Yu Mingshu when he was holding Yu Mingshu, which made Xinghe couldn't help but find it strange.
"Want to read my book?" Xinghe bent down and leaned closer to Yu Mingshu who stuck his head out. His eyes moved around, as if he was thinking of some bad idea. "It's not impossible. You go and do something for me first, and then I'll lend you the book. How about that?"
Xinghe said it gently, but Tsukasa Chong, who knew who Xinghe was, immediately moved a step back. The legs of the chair he was sitting on rubbed against the floor, making an unpleasant sound that made people's ears numb.
"What are you hiding from?" Xinghe rolled his eyes, "How can this kid touch you? Can you control your own power?"
"You can try." Zhong Chong said to Xinghe with a gloomy face. He had indeed been pranked by Xinghe before, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of Xinghe.
When Zhong Chong said this, Xinghe curled his lips in boredom, then shrugged, turned around and went to the automatic food delivery port to get his own portion of dinner, "Come on, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
Zhong Chong picked up Yu Mingshu and walked over.
The cafeteria of Sawyer Orphanage does not have a manual window for preparing meals. They do not have the right to choose what to eat for dinner. All finished food comes out of the automatic food delivery port. Yu Mingshu took a curious look. He saw Zhong Chong press the switch on the side of the wall, and then a silver iron wall in front of him opened from left to right. This was similar to the concave and convex doors on the floor that Yu Mingshu had seen before on the rooftop. , are the kind where you can’t see the gap until you open it.
"Put me down and I'll do it myself." Yu Mingshu saw that Zhong Chong was hugging him with one hand and holding dinner in the other, so he gently patted the back of Zhong Chong's hand with his small hand and said.
"It doesn't matter." A layer of red appeared on Zhong Chong's cheeks, but it quickly disappeared, "You eat first."
With that said, Zhong Chong carried Yu Mingshu back to his seat, and then placed the dinner in front of Yu Mingshu.
Xinghe was sitting next door. After Zhong Chong took a look, he frowned and said to Yu Mingshu, "I'll be back soon. As Xinghe said, don't agree easily."
As he said that, Tsukasa still remembered glaring at Xinghe, warning him with his eyes not to mess around, and then quickly went to get his share of dinner.
"Haha, that makes me sound like a bad guy." Xinghe held a spoon and swung his dangling legs back and forth on the seat. While he scooped a spoonful of rice, he said to Yu Mingshu: "Honestly, you might as well be with me. If you mess around with a germ-like creature like Tsuka Takashi, you will definitely regret it if you mess around for a long time."
"Children, don't say such things." Yu Mingshu tried to pick up the spoon. He had never touched chopsticks and spoons before. What he had for lunch was a sandwich, so this was really his first time touching it. Human tableware.
"Huh?? You're a kid, aren't you!" Xinghe stopped eating with a look of absurdity on his face.
For Yu Mingshu, Xinghe himself is just like a cub like Zhong Chong, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He just said it sincerely: "Children cannot wear colored glasses to see people; nor can they discriminate against people. Otherwise When you grow up, you will become a terrible adult, and you will have many unnecessary misunderstandings..."
Having said this, Yu Mingshu himself felt a little disappointed.
He has grown up in the eyes of discrimination since he was a child, and knows that it is very uncomfortable to be discriminated against. It is because of the existence of discriminatory people that there are so many uncomfortable things.
Although he is still more feared than discriminated against by others because of his own strength, there is no end to discrimination.
Xinghe felt that Yu Mingshu, a three-year-old child, was incomprehensible. He felt very uncomfortable being "taught" by Yu Mingshu, so he decided in his heart that even if Zhong Chong protected the child, Yu Mingshu's pranks would not be missing during this meal.
"Where did you, an ignorant little kid, hear these things that only fools say? Let me tell you, before others do harm, you must bite them back first." Xinghe said, baring his teeth. He made a biting gesture towards Yu Mingshu.
"There is food between your teeth."
Xinghe:......
"Don't pay too much attention to what he said." After Zhong Chong came back, he sat on the right side of Yu Mingshu, separating the sight of Yu Mingshu and Xinghe. There are always all kinds of crooked things about Xinghe, and he will be pushed into the pit if he is not careful. If Yu Mingshu didn't want to read a book, Zhong Chong actually didn't really want Yu Mingshu to come into contact with Xinghe.
Xinghe was in a very bad mood. He searched his mouth with his tongue, and after roughly feeling that the dish was not between his teeth, he snorted coldly: "I don't really want to talk to you either."
After saying this, he started eating his dinner in a hurry, looking a little angry.
No matter how moody Xinghe's character is, he is still just a seven-year-old child in the end. He is both used to and dislikes the disgust of his peers. Knowing that no one would like him, he chose to be disliked from the start.
This is his way of life.
Yu Mingshu also began to eat by himself in silence. He chewed the food in his mouth thoughtfully, thinking to himself that he did not expect that the relationship between Zhong Chong and Xinghe would be so bad.
Just now, when he asked Zhong Chong where he could find the book, Zhong Chong said Xinghe's name, and his tone seemed to not have much opinion on Xinghe.
"What do you want me to help you with?" Yu Mingshu didn't seem to notice any unpleasantness. He asked Xinghe what he needed to do before he could borrow his book, as if he was asking how the weather was.
Zhong Chong hesitated to speak, but in the end he chose to believe Yu Mingshu. In his eyes, Yu Mingshu was just young, but from all his actions today, Zhong Chong always had the feeling that the other party was omnipotent. For a moment, it was difficult for him to judge whether Yu Mingshu would really be embarrassed by Xinghe.
Thinking of this, Zhong Chong lowered his head and looked at the food on the plate, thinking that Xinghe's name was so romantic and clean, but his personality was completely opposite.
Xinghe's name seems to have been given to himself by himself.
However, Tsukasa probably guessed that there might be a story in it. Anyway, he also believed that the children who would appear in Sawyer Orphanage were destined to be unfortunate in the past, so even if Xinghe likes to do annoying pranks, when talking about When he saw him, Tsuka Takashi still showed no disgust.
Xinghe did not expect that after Zhong Chong expressed his dissatisfaction with him, Yu Mingshu could drop the topic as if nothing happened, as if the quarrel between them just did not exist.
Of course, calling it a quarrel was only Xinghe's unilateral view. Yu Mingshu only felt that they were just having a friendly discussion.
After realizing that Yu Mingshu was the leader between Yu Mingshu and Zhong Chong, Xinghe's original intention of not wanting to talk to Yu Mingshu became active again.
"The ugly words are ahead. If you agree now, I won't give you a way back." As he said that, Xinghe stretched his head over in a sinister manner, not afraid at all that Tsuka Chong, who was between them, would suddenly get up and bump into him.
This feeling is more similar to the mentality of a gambler, but this feeling is hidden in daily life. If you don't pay special attention to it, you will probably skip it. After all, Xinghe himself said verbally, "Don't do anything you are not sure of." "Thing", but whether this sentence is true or false, who knows.
Yu Mingshu's movements seemed unhappy, but he had already eaten all the dinner on the plate in this round and round. He sincerely lamented that humans in the galaxy have such a good thing as taste, which really adds a lot of fun to life, and then smiled at Xinghe.
"Well, as long as you don't let me do bad things, I promise you."
Yu Mingshu, who is very confident in his abilities, said this.
How to describe Yu Mingshu's current smile?
It can be said that Yu Mingshu's mental power has officially awakened today. During the day, his control of his body was still a little stiff. He even tried to show his friendliness in front of Zhong Chong with a smile, but that was intentional. The raised smile did not serve as a bonus.
But now, probably because of his mental and physical wandering around today, he can somewhat control his expression. At this time, Yu Mingshu's smile no longer looked like he was baring his teeth unnaturally. The smile on his face now, Yu Mingshu felt, should be cute but also kind.
But when he fell into Xinghe's eyes, he felt completely unfathomable.
The "incomprehensibleness" of a three-year-old? ha? Xinghe was stunned by the thoughts in his mind. After reacting to this first-consciousness, Xinghe became even more wary of Yu Mingshu.
To be honest, Yu Mingshu, who has done nothing, said:...?
"Uncle Ming!" Zhong Chong frowned. He felt that Yu Mingshu would only be tricked by Xinghe by saying this, but he didn't know that Xinghe would actually become suspicious because of Yu Mingshu's smile.
"Hey!" Yu Mingshu's thoughts were simpler. What he said to Xinghe was literally. Now after hearing Zhong Chong call him, he quickly returned his attention to Zhong Chong. To be honest, he really He likes the cub to call him uncle very much.
Zhong Chong stared blankly at Yu Mingshu with bright eyes. For a moment, he couldn't remember why he called Yu Mingshu's name just now.
Xinghe watched the friendly interaction between Zhong Chong and Yu Mingshu from the side, but suddenly felt a strange sense of anxiety in his heart.
——Everyone chooses to be alone, why are you the only ones playing the "friend game".
