Chapter 209 Reasons for Choice
Time goes back to the moment when the three of us were on our way back. We were sitting in the wooden house of the cable car, preparing to return together. Suddenly, Alu and Zebra started arguing. It turned out that both of them liked Xiaosong.
Zebra's eyes were focused and deep, staring at me, and his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a complex emotion. He spoke frankly, with a serious tone that could not be ignored: "Kid, would you like to consider going with me to find a Western menu?"
I heard this, and a complex emotion surged in my heart. I frowned unconsciously, and looked at Zebra with a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment in my eyes: "Mr. Zebra... Mr. Alu and I, we have already..."
Alu stood up suddenly and stared at Zebula. His eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, and his voice revealed unquestionable determination: "Zebra, what do you mean by this? Xiaosong is my partner, of course he has to go with me! You are always making trouble, you should just stay where you are!"
Zebula was enraged by these words and grabbed Alu's collar. His eyes were blazing with anger, and his voice was low and forbearing: "What good is it for the little ghost to follow you? You always put him in danger. Do you really have the ability to protect him now?"
A Lu was completely enraged by these words, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He clenched his teeth and tried to control his emotions that were about to burst out: "Zebra, you bastard! Xiaosong's heart is with me, don't even think about interfering! He is mine, and I will protect him in my own way!"
After hearing A'lu's provocative words, Zebra's facial muscles tensed up involuntarily, and a nameless anger instantly surged in his heart. He raised his fist suddenly, as if he wanted to concentrate all his anger in this blow, and his tone was full of threats and intimidation: "What do you mean by yours? I have my eyes on this kid! If you really have the guts, fight me to see who is stronger!"
Seeing this, A Lu's eyes suddenly became fierce, as if he wanted to concentrate all his anger at this moment. He suddenly grabbed Zebra's collar, pulled him close to his face, and growled with gritted teeth: "You damn bastard, come here, who's afraid of you!"
I stood aside and saw the situation was about to get out of control. I quickly stepped forward, opened my arms and blocked between the two of them, and tried to persuade them in a gentle and firm tone: "Mr. Alu, Mr. Zebra! Can you please calm down and listen to me?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Alu and Zebra turned to look at me at the same time. There was still obvious anger on their faces, but the madness in their eyes had been restrained. They almost let go of my hand at the same time, took a step back, and then sat stubbornly at the two ends of the sofa, with their backs to each other, unwilling to say another word.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm myself down. I turned to look at Zebra with a sincere smile on my face: "Mr. Zebra, I know you value me and understand how you feel now. But please listen to me, Mr. Alu and I have a deep bond and commitment. We have experienced ups and downs together and supported each other in difficult times. We promised that no matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we will go forward hand in hand and find the menu of life together. This is an oath that I cannot break, and it is also my truest thought."
After I said those words, there was a subtle tension and anticipation in the air. I stood quietly, my eyes gently fixed on Zebra, waiting for his reaction.
Zebra was silent for a while, as if he was seriously considering what I said. Although his face was still serious, the anger in his eyes had gradually dissipated. Finally, he nodded slightly, accepting my answer.
I looked at Zebra, my eyes sparkling with gratitude. The corners of my mouth lifted unconsciously, revealing the most sincere smile: "Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Zebra! I know all the hard work and efforts you have put into the Food Pyramid. To express my gratitude, I want to give you a hug!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Zebra stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, his face flushed instantly. He hastily looked away, his hands unconsciously clenched, as if trying to hide his inner panic and anxiety.
"You little brat...you...do you know what you are talking about? Really...you can't just talk about something like a hug!" Zebra's voice trembled a little. He tried hard to maintain his usual dignity, but he couldn't hide the panic in his tone.
Ah Lu stood aside and witnessed this scene, his expression became complicated. He quickly stepped forward, nervously grasped my shoulders, and his voice was full of anxiety and confusion: "Xiao Song, how can you say hug so casually? Do you really understand its meaning?"
I blinked my innocent eyes and looked at A Lu blankly, my heart full of confusion: "Where we are, hugging is just a way to express gratitude, it's very normal, what's the problem?"
When Alu and Zebula heard my straightforward words, their expressions instantly became extremely stiff. Their eyes widened, their mouths slightly opened, and the muscles on their faces kept twitching, as if they were petrified.
Alu and Zebula's minds went blank, completely at a loss. They had never thought that I would express my thoughts so directly. They tried to explain to me the meaning of a hug, but found that they could not find the right words to respond.
After a while, Alu and Zebula came back to their senses from their astonishment, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly. They realized that I really didn't know much about this topic, and they couldn't blame me for being too naive.
A Lu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then leaned close to my ear and said in the softest voice possible: "Xiao Song... a hug is not just a simple way to express gratitude, it also carries deeper emotions and meanings... Don't you really know?"
After hearing A Lu's explanation, I was confused again, unable to clearly grasp the meaning. I shook my head blankly, my eyes full of confusion.
Alu and Zebra simultaneously raised their hands to cover their foreheads, revealing a deep sense of exhaustion and frustration, completely defeated by my innocence. They sighed softly and secretly decided not to reveal too much about this complex topic of emotions and love to me for the time being, so as not to let me fall into confusion and bewilderment too early.
I noticed that the atmosphere between Alu and Zebula had quietly changed, and the originally tense atmosphere seemed to have eased.
I had a faint smile on my lips, and couldn't help but want to use a joke to ease the embarrassment: "Do you like me? Why are you so embarrassed to say it? It's not like I can't accept it."
As soon as I finished speaking, Alu and Zebula became restless. They didn't expect me to bring up this topic so directly, and they didn't expect me to face it with such a relaxed attitude. They both took steps almost at the same time, walked in front of me, and ruffled my hair vigorously. There was both helplessness and doting in their strength, and it was obvious that they were completely defeated by my straightforwardness.
At this moment, an unusual feeling suddenly came over me. My body began to heat up inexplicably, as if a force was surging in my body, making my cells abnormally agitated. An uneasy feeling quickly spread throughout my body, making me miserable.
My eyes began to blur and my vision gradually lost focus. I subconsciously grabbed the hand of the person closest to me. I murmured unconsciously, my voice full of helplessness and pleading: "It's so... uncomfortable... help me... Mr. Alu."
A flash of surprise and worry flashed in Alu's eyes. He immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly hugged me in his arms, trying to comfort me with his own strength. Zebra also reacted quickly and paid close attention to my condition.
