At this moment, Yi, who had been used as cannon fodder, remained motionless as if frozen —— He no longer cared to feel his own body. All that came into his mind now was food... the fragrant steamed buns, the greasy yet succulent and sweet rice dumplings, the crispy and juicy pan-fried snacks
—— Oh, and his green...
"Oh, there are so many delicious food. I really want to eat it again. But ——, Qinger, I will only eat a little... Hmm?"
But this dream will always wake up, right? —— As he thought, Yi suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back. It should have been a slow physical reaction, but why is there still no feeling at all now... Why is it not painful?
Yi stayed in a mess for a long time until he heard the kittens cry, then he opened his eyes and looked around —— Miracles were unfolding before Yis eyes, and the scene seemed both familiar and strange to him.
In the picture was a bow, a weapon that Yi himself was good at using, but this bow could float in the air alone like the sacred tool, and was shining with silver light —— At this moment, it was blocking the path of the giant monsters attack, and the huge shock wave that had just occurred had disappeared.
—— Savior... this, this amazing bow?
Never had he seen such a dazzling, distinctive, and peculiar bow before. Now, Yi stood there stammering, staring blankly at ——s magical bow. Like his own Gong Yangyou (a traditional longbow), it was entirely metal-cast, yet missing a string. How could this be the exclusive weapon of the Guardians!
—— See you!
Suddenly, Yis eyes froze as if he had woken up. He quickly turned his head to look at the child... Hmm, Ah Jun is safe! So...
The kitten, on the other hand, looked a little strange —— of course not abnormal, but the area of the shadow that had been protecting the child had expanded, and it looked as if it had been repaired, and it was more secure.
Although I dont know what happened, judging from the crescent-shaped mark that flashes in the middle of the kittens forehead, it must be the effect of the sudden evolution of the ability of the strange beast, or perhaps the benefit brought by the sacred weapon in front of him.
However, this battle should have the appearance of a battle, right? —— Why is the opponent in the attic now unwilling to fight... The giant outside was clearly not convinced by such a provocation.
After all, Qing used to say that —— the only way to show respect for an opponent is to give it your all! But now Yi is looking at his powerful opponent and thinking about everything... should he fight or not?
However, what broke the giant even more was that such a weak opponent... After fighting for so long, he was like this, and he still couldnt win. It was enough, who could bear it? He would pretend to be cool for the weak guy for a while, then grab a weapon to block the gun again. He was quite stubborn!
Then, the monster was so angry that it roared and hit a mouth, spitting out a blood from the edge of its mouth, ready to use its power again—— but the same move did not work on the guardian. Its proud shock wave was useless, and instead it made itself a little confused!
Of course, monsters brains are not very good. They know its useless, but they continue to attack one after another. Although the power of each attack is increasing, it doesnt help at all. This consumes them a lot. Their thick lips are smoking, and they stand there gasping for breath!
However, the giant is still a giant and should not be underestimated!
A moment later, the eyes suddenly glowed with a dark red light like ink, as if infused with new power, and began to attack frantically and continuously —— The selfless opening of two sausages, continuous explosions, bright eyes began to emit lasers...
Faced with such an exaggerated attack, Yi was not so anxious at this time, because he knew very well that the moment the sacred tool descended, the situation of both sides had changed.
Now, as long as Silverbow remains, there should be no problem with safety —— However, if the giant continues to attack like this, the house and even the entire town might suffer... After all, the protective shield outside has already been devastated, and his teammates are still missing!
—— What to do? I want to think... Oh, its so hot...
As a guardian, one must have the world in mind. Thus, Yi, the eldest brothers husband, once again activated his invincible brain and was forced to smoke again... Fortunately, at this moment, the silver bow seemed to sense something. It shone and approached Yi, looking like it was signaling this steaming head to take up arms and counterattack...
—— Come on, big brother, hurry up, fight back together... Ha? Momo, Im here, move fast!
When faced with the invitation of the divine weapon and a great opportunity, Yi hesitated again—— Although the silver bow looked very similar to his own bow, there was still an insurmountable technical problem... that is, like the exclusive weapon of the guardian clan, there was no bowstring.
Whats more difficult is that after many tests, Yi already knows the defense of this giant —— if he uses his own arrow to attack, it will definitely not work.
Then, after a while, when the man was still staring, Yin Gong had to signal him to act again with a bright light, and the kitten beside him was meowing to cheer Yi on.
Encouraged by everyone, Yi had to pull himself together, took a serious look, and finally decided to take up arms to fight back.
——Hmm, upon closer inspection, this silver bow appears larger than mine, yet surprisingly light to the touch. Its surface is inlaid with mysterious patterns and intricate textures... Just as Yi gripped the bow handle, the enigmatic markings suddenly glowed, and the invisible bowstring materialized on its own.
—— Hmm! Now everything is ready, oh... but we still need the east wind —— Is there a missing arrow...
After all, to deal with this giant monster in front of them, even the current archer in the army would have a headache if he used ordinary arrows, and the giants defense was almost always strong, not to mention the rough skin and thick flesh of the monster in front of him!
Then the silver bow responded again, flashing, and then Yi felt a surge of power into his body, which gave him full confidence.
While pulling the bowstring, Yi kept imagining: "If I can get another powerful arrow, I can surely knock down the monster —— Hmm? The bowstring is finished, does that mean I can now guide the energy arrow..."
—— Hmm, its a beautiful thought!
However, such an exciting psychological construction still has not achieved any effect... What can we do? A clever housewife can not cook without rice!
Just in time, the arrow came and flashed up and stuck to the bow grip and the string —— Hey, god bless me...
——————————But it didnt seem to be an energy arrow, but it was in the place where it should have been, with a sense of familiarity and strangeness... Could it be the secret treasure passed down through generations of the Zhuge clan, the golden arrow, as my master had mentioned before?
Thinking of this, Yi couldnt think anymore —— No matter what happened, the opportunity had come! So he suddenly felt confident, puffed out his chest and glared fiercely outside. He skillfully drew his bow and shot an arrow as calmly as he had done before to deal with that little monster.
—— make a din!
A flash of gold... and in the next second, the giant was gone from sight, leaving only a streak of red that refused to give up.
At this time, the reinforcements arrived again, and the timing was perfect. Then, the bruised deputy general came out with his old and weak soldiers, clapping their hands outside the house and saying, "Brother-in-law, you can shoot an arrow through a hundred paces. You are not a fake!"
Well, well, this time Yike did not get carried away. He held the bow in one hand and, as usual, reached out with the other to draw the arrow...
—— Hmm? Hey, Im here... Where are you going?
But the boy didnt listen to him at all. He just flew back with a swoosh, said hello in front of Silverbow, and stayed by Ahjuns side for a while—— Just as Yi was about to reach out to take it, he suddenly disappeared, and so did Silverbow.
—— We won? Well, it was safe... but it didnt feel very good!
A battle in which the enemy was strong and we were weak finally ended, but Yi stood still, as if his brain was not turning over. At this time, he even felt that he was a tool person, used by the artifact, and was really depressed.
Yi Zizao stood there muttering to himself for a while before recalling his earlier move and naming it "Seven-Star Dragon Abyss". The fool stood there scratching his head, pondering: —— Although he had managed to hold out this time, it was only by a miracle. Perhaps thats why the Elder could still focus on meditation... But in the future, he needed to be even more cautious – the risks were truly too high!
In this way, the crisis of the son of fate was resolved by his family ——However, this was only the beginning. For Ah Jun, the real horror was far more than that.
Because in another year, the child will be of school age, and not only will he have to go to school alone every day, but...
The schools where Little Guardians study serve as both the cradle of enlightenment for children across Suoluo Continent and a knowledge sanctuary that lays solid foundations for their future. In every corner of the Five Prefectures, schools with distinctive regional characteristics are established through chain institutions. These schools maintain unified teaching standards and management systems, ensure balanced faculty distribution, and provide nearby schooling solutions—eliminating concerns about school district housing.
The school Ah Jun is about to attend is located at the opposite end of the inner city in White Tiger Countys main town, making it quite a distance from home. Every day, he has to walk through the entire downtown area —— While others might not consider it particularly far, for a child like Ah Jun, it feels like an eternity. Hes already imagining the school being right next to his home.
Of course, he was anxious not because of the difficulty of getting up or tired of traveling, but because he had to face countless passers-by on his way to school... and most of them were unfriendly!
Therefore, Dajieqing also asked the elder whether she could move again, since she had moved twice —— but was rejected! However, Qing could not accept it. She repeatedly explained her views, which were very accurate and reasonable, and the elder agreed with her, but it was still useless.
Because, some things can be avoided for a while but can not be avoided for a lifetime, so the child must face it by himself —— As for the first two moves, they were only to create a good environment for the child to grow up, especially when he was very young.
But now, the child has grown up, he should be tested and learn to face —— after all, the reality is cruel, if you insist on the ivory tower without experiencing the storm, the road ahead will be more bumpy...
Soon, Ah Jun will have his first semester, but he does not show the same excitement and longing as other children. After all, what the child will face next is an unprecedented challenge to himself.
Of course, it does not refer to learning —— Ah Jun has been very smart since childhood. Under the guidance of his family, he has taught himself all the courses in school and has also done the basic training of "martial arts" that every little guardian must master, including martial arts theory and basic skills within the scope of his physical condition.
Generally speaking, every preschool child in the island of Sulu must go to the nearest academy and martial arts school every day to receive pre-enrollment learning —— in addition to developing basic skills, they are also familiar with traditional culture, reading literature such as the Hundred Schools of Thought and ancient classics.
Of course, Ah Jun was no exception—— But being a unique case, he became an exception precisely because of his uniqueness. He only needed to stay at home and study independently, which made him seem quite carefree to outsiders. He could study whenever he wanted or play whenever he pleased—lying in bed for a nap or lounging to play games as he pleased—a lifestyle that many children could only dream of envying.
—— But who knows, behind the facts, why this child is an exception... few!
Every day, dragging his half-paralyzed body, Ah Jun trained harder than others yet progressed slowly, practiced more diligently but only scratched the surface... Despite his physical limitations, he remained dedicated. Within the limited training hours each day, he had already mastered the blade techniques of Dajieqing and the archery skills of Dajiefu. The deputy commander even praised him as the next candidate to become the "Hundred Steps Through the Yang" archer.
But even so, the child was worried and a little anxious —— he was not sure about his future study of higher level skills at Little Guardian School.
Of course, as a senior and family member, Yi often reassured Ah Jun not to think too much, saying that it was better to learn more than one skill—— As a result, the good will of this brother-in-law led to a lecture from the eldest sister, who said he had misled peoples children.
On the day before school started, Eldest sister Qing took a special leave and went with her husband Yi to take Ah Jun to the towns pedestrian street to buy school supplies.
Ajun is happy, because this is one of the few moments when he can go shopping with his family —— Because he doesnt go out often, he naturally feels fresh to the outside world.
When the child was very young, the elder only allowed him to stay at home——. Ah Jun obediently stayed indoors, neither going out nor running around. Apart from reading and studying, he persisted in practicing proper methods for massage, guiding exercises, and meditation every day... These were self-care techniques taught by the elder, derived from a health manual of the Sacred Medical Clan.
In Ah Juns secret base, his attic has an entire wall neatly filled with his books. However, even so many are not enough for him to read —— because Ah Jun has a hobby, nostalgia. He is unwilling to discard all the old books and keeps them all, maintaining them regularly.
Therefore, the family specially built an extra reading area for him in the living room, which was filled with new books —— Of course, if not enough, there was also a room full of books in the elders room... Of course, they were all ancient books older than Ah Jun, and the contents were very obscure, belonging to unique copies!
But even the best is no good for a child whose nature cannot be restrained. If he is confined to one place, he will inevitably be depressed —— Ah Jun looks stupid, but he knows very well that his family is trying to manage him for his own good.
Therefore, the kind-hearted him did not want to worry his family, and showed his sensible side —— However, it is inevitable that he will be lonely and bored when he is alone, but fortunately, there is a little cat as company, so he is not so lonely...
Ah Jun truly enjoys being with Xiao Fei. This shopping trip with her eldest sister and brother-in-law was no exception—— even though she is just a little kitten. Of course, there is another important family member, the elder, but her absence has become an unforgettable regret and self-reproach in the childs heart.
Fortunately, everything went well today. They bought all the things they needed and ate in a restaurant outside. It was a rare day —— However, Ah Jun noticed that people had been looking at them with strange eyes all the way.
—— Well, how to put it... those people seemed to be staring at themselves, and the crowd of mouths were muttering something, and from time to time someone would give Ah Jun a vicious look.
The child has seen this scene on TV, which seems to be a kind of expression for bad people or monsters —— Is it because of the little cat on the shoulder? However, such a cute little pink, how can you not like it? What is there to fear about meowing!
—— I love it. We learn to meow together, meow meow meow...
After lunch, Qing and Yi took A-jun to a large supermarket to shop, because the food at home was not enough, and there were only a few packets of snacks left for A-jun.
The three of them walked around the supermarket like a family. Ah Jun looked at everything curiously. There were many kinds of delicious snacks, but he only picked them up and put them back after looking at them, because the child knew that he could not eat them, so he enjoyed the sight.
However, there was always someone staring at —— next to him, making me feel like I was shopping with the kind lady from the clothing store. After all, there were dedicated sales assistants there to recommend and help me try on clothes. But... this is a supermarket! There shouldn t be staff following me, right? Thats way too considerate!
Ah Jun also noticed that these people were different from those he had encountered before. They kept warning him not to touch anything and quickly put it back, saying, "Im watching you ——". However, fortunately, whenever the eldest sister and her husband glared at them, the others would either shut up or slip away. But this wave after wave was really annoying!
After a moment, as the boy put down his instant noodles and still hesitated, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted him. —— Ah Jun turned around in fright to see the eldest sister and her husband engaged in heated discussion about which seasoning to buy in the distance. Beside them stood an old man glaring at him with disgust.
"Hey! You little rascal, trying to steal again!"
—— Whats the matter? Grandpa, who are you?
The child found this peculiar. He glanced around and saw everyone carefully selecting items, so how did he suddenly become a "thief"?—— But the familiar tone sounded eerily familiar. Ah Jun looked closely and thought... Oh! This person actually recognized him! It was the owner of a grocery store from before—ugly-looking and short-tempered. What happened? Now that his business has expanded, hes turned into a supermarket owner.
When I was a child, this child seldom went out, so the people he knew were only his family and some kind neighbors, such as Aunt Zhang next door.
I remember once, the soy sauce at home was almost finished. My eldest brother-in-law was simple-minded and wanted ajun to help him buy a bottle in the nearby grocery store because he had several dishes to cook and couldnt go away —— Ajun happily agreed, and the owner of this small shop was the old man.
After entering the shop, before he asked for soy sauce, the child was attracted by the snacks —— So he picked them up and looked at them, then put them back, and then couldnt resist picking them up again and again.
Because, the child knew that he should not eat it, but he always saw this product on TV, and he really wanted to try it ——. After he wrestled with this thought for a while, and prepared to put down the snack and go to the boss to buy soy sauce, the same scene appeared again.
"Hey! You little brat, trying to steal something from my store!"
At this moment, the boss, with his head of glossy black hair, stood behind Ah Jun and shouted at him —— He had been observing the boy from a distance for a long time and had already decided that the boy was a thief.
"I dont have..."
However, the child was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble and he gradually became strange. Although his teeth were unconsciously colliding with each other, he still endured and explained vigorously: "—— I just wanted to look, I was here to buy soy sauce..."
"Hum! Do you think I dont know you!"
Yet the shopkeeper viciously interrupted the boys explanation. To him, defending oneself was proof of guilt. Knowing this young man well, he immediately used all his knowledge to push Ah Jun forcefully out of the shop, shouting angrily: "Get lost! This store doesnt welcome you, thief!"
He was shocked, wronged for no reason, wronged too much, and finally pushed by the explosive bears paw with malicious intent —— Although the boss did not know any martial arts, but after all, one is an adult, the other is just a child...
In the guardians counties, there are many ordinary people like the shopkeeper, who have no talent or have talent but no ability. They are descendants of the guardian, but they live like ordinary people.
After being pushed, Ah Jun suddenly lost his footing and almost fell outside the shop —— but was promptly supported by a kind person.
But the child suddenly fell into a drowsy state, only vaguely hearing what sounded like his brother-in-laws furious rebuke to the innkeeper... After a while, he managed to suppress a laugh as usual——. Though this twist seemed odd, Ah Jun caught a glimpse of a shiny bald head and the ground littered with black hair-like residue!
Shortly after this incident, Ah Jun was protected at home, so the child was confined to the attic for several days of self-isolation, with repeated physical discomfort and a shadow on his mind.
As for Eldest Brother Yi, he was also severely reprimanded by Qing Meileng, with his face bruised and swollen for several consecutive days—— Meanwhile, the shop owner who had falsely accused Ah Jun of stealing—whether out of remorse or not—shut down his own store and soon disappeared—— Later, by chance, Ah Jun heard from a neighbors aunt and Eldest Brother Yi that the man had moved away.
However, judging from todays situation, it seems that the shop owner made a lot of money through unethical means before, so he decided to open this supermarket to make money. Now, it seems that the owner is personally involved due to poor supervision by the staff, but its still so annoying!
Faced with another slander and repeated tactics, Ah Jun thought for a moment and decided to be too lazy to explain anything to him —— after all, the psychological problem caused by last time had been relieved with the help of his family.
So Ah Jun chose to ignore it, continuing his self-absorbed shopping spree while deliberately picking up and dropping a product multiple times—— The once confident shopkeeper brimming with revenge energy now saw the boy acting even more rebellious than before. With the boy daring to challenge his authority, Ah Jun rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, and prepared to unleash his ultimate move.
However, just as he was about to drive off, he suddenly felt a chill down his back —— At this time, two huge figures appeared behind him full of anger, and then the result was predictable...
Then, the family continued to shop happily. When it came to checkout, Ah Jun went to get the kitten. When he came back, he saw the annoying shop owner again. And it was actually a bald man —— Oh no, I think it should be the supermarket owner?
But now that he was pushing a lot of shopping carts back to their place, he was working hard and responsible, so it seemed that he wasnt too bad after all, at least he was dedicated and did everything himself.
Then, while Ah Jun was waiting for his family, he often saw people at the checkout shouting there. From the sound of it, it seemed that they were complaining about the feeling of the supermarket owner... The employees courage was a little fat. It seemed that the old man was a little pathetic!
"Hey! Old man, take the car away here —— Really, I cant even see a car on my last shift, its blocking customers..."
After this incident, the child also completely opened up the long-sealed knot in his heart. After all, it was not easy for everyone. Then, the family continued to talk and laugh on the way home.
Of course, there will always be people looking at them with that strange look, but the closer they are to home, the more relaxed it becomes, and even, they will encounter some kind people who Ah Jun knows, and say hello to him!
Just before they reached home at the next intersection, the family had to stop —— the child was clearly attracted by the merchandise of a game store.
The toy was the one thing Ah Jun watched most on TV. It was a game console or a game, but he knew he couldnt have such an interesting thing like other kids, so he usually watched videos of others playing it on TV to satisfy his craving.
Of course, this child is limited in the amount of time they can watch TV, which is limited to half an hour a day and no more than half an hour at a time —— because, as the elders said, children watching too much TV is bad for their eyes and body, especially when playing games, their eyes have to stare at it all the time.
Ah Jun thought it was right. In fact, he also knew that his physical condition was very special. Moreover, he would get tired when watching TV for a long time, and his body would have symptoms, so he was very conscious.
But because he spent most of his time at home, sometimes he felt a little bored, so Ah Jun was still a little envious of other children who could play freely outside.
As a result, the TV became his "friend", but it was difficult to play games —— although the child secretly believed that he could coordinate with his "new friend".
"Come here, good boy, come and sit!"
At this time, in front of Ah Jun, an amiable old woman was calling the children —— she was the owner of the game shop and was familiar with the family. When she saw Ah Jun again, she happily took out a chair for the children to watch and rest.
"Thank you, Grandma Sun!"
Of course, Ah Jun was already familiar with this. He just said hello and sat down —— The children often came here, which should be said that in his limited time out, they often came to this small shop.
The old woman, of course, did not mind. She let him touch and look at her, and she was always polite enough to offer a chair for the child to sit on. Of course, there was no tea or snacks —— nor was the old man stingy, after all, he was the boss. But good people know that the childs situation is carefully guarded.
However, Ah Jun did not like this ——and the elders reminded him to keep his mouth shut. Diseases come from the mouth, so the child usually watched the video games or competitions of the shop for a while and went home.
Most of the games played here are very interesting. Ah Jun always thought he could play one, and this immersive sense of presence and virtual experience made him feel that he could do anything —— However, every time he watched for half an hour at most, he had to go home reluctantly.
Of course, there are a few times when he plays late because of an esports game, and his family comes out to find him.
Early the next morning, the child got up. After all, school was starting today. It seemed that the summer early morning training planned by the eldest sister had yielded results. Although Ah Jun still felt tired, some things had to be persisted in.
He stretched lazily, his sleepy eyes catching the sun outside the window and the sleeping kitten. —— Ah Jun had always found this peculiar. While other kittens hed read about in books did sleep early, none seemed to enjoy such a late bedtime like Xiao Fei. Could it be his own late nights were affecting her? Ah Jun mused, knowing he needed to work harder—his flaws shouldn t be letting down the family.
Then, as usual, Ah Jun began to wash, dress and tidy up —— the child has done this since he was very young, and the elders say it is to foster independence.
However, after sorting out his bag, the child was a little hesitant and worried. But soon, he stood up and took his bag downstairs for breakfast.
Todays restaurant is still empty, except that my brother-in-law is preparing breakfast in the open kitchen —— but now, unlike before, there is a little girl in his arms, who is about a year old, drinking milk.
—— So where did the child come from?
It must not have been from Qing and Yi, but was brought back by Qing, the eldest sister who was on a mission out of town, the day after the last attic incident.
The little girl was very cute. She had a white, round face with big eyes, a small mouth and a straight nose. Her skin was so tender that it could be squeezed out of water. Like Ah Jun, she was also required to call her sister and brother-in-law, but as for the elders, she had probably never met them before.
Ah Jun affectionately called her "little sister". Of course, he wished the eldest sister and her husband could have a brother, so there would be someone to play with him ——. However, this was just like playing with girls. The little girl was very close to Ah Jun, and the first time she called someone by their name, it was "brother".
The eldest brother-in-law efficiently served the meticulously prepared breakfast. As Ah Jun sipped her milk while nursing at his chest——, she curiously observed her younger sister. The childs meals had always been simple—just plain rice. Yet with skillful hands, he transformed the grains into creative designs and added just the right seasoning.
However, the child still felt that his brother-in-law could not be so troublesome, even if it was boring, he could eat it himself —— because the elder had told him that rice was the most suitable food for his recuperation. Only by eating more rice could he have strength.
This energy, known as "Gu Qi" (vital energy), is derived from the refined nutrients in daily meals. It serves as the bodys fundamental energy source, providing external protection against extreme cold and heat while maintaining normal qi circulation internally. The Shengyi Clan refers to this energy as "Zhen Qi" (true qi), which differs from the concept of innate energy.
As Ah Jun looked at his little sister, he reminded himself that he really needed to grow up quickly —— because he was already an older brother and had to help the family take care of his little sister.
After finishing all the kitchen work, Yi sat down to continue feeding the baby and talked with Ah Jun about how such a small child should continue to breastfeed. Would it delay the childs growth if he only drank milk powder?
This wasnt the first time Ah Jun had heard such complaints. He had even seen his brother-in-law discuss it with his sister on many occasions. But for some reason, Sister Qing always blushed and threw tantrums, shouting and hitting. Was her brother-in-laws request too much?
Of course, Ah Jun thinks that drinking milk powder is also good. He seems to have grown up drinking this brand of milk powder. It tastes good, the milk source is good, and there are no additives...
However, he was still curious about the argument between the eldest sister and her husband. Today, the child could not help asking at the dinner table: "Why does the eldest sisters husband disagree with your opinion?"
" puff!"
When the child said this, Yi almost spewed out the tea in his mouth. The little sister seemed to be interested in the topic and was smiling at her brother-in-laws face.
Then, he reluctantly paused, smiled and touched Ah Juns head, put the nipple into the little girls mouth, then looked for the clock on the wall, and smiled to tell Ah Jun, you can go to school.
—— Hmm... Is my question funny?
Ajun wondered for a moment, then looked at the time. Well, there seemed to be no time for small talk. So he said hello to his brother-in-law and sister, picked up his heavy schoolbag, took a deep breath, and hurried off in the direction of school.
The moment the child walked out of the house, he couldnt help turning back to look at ——. At this time, his brother-in-law was holding his little sister and waving to him.
Suddenly, Ah Jun felt that the backpack on his shoulder did not seem so heavy, and a sense of strength began to emerge in his heart —— Then he turned his head, touched the snacks in his pocket, and got ready to meet the challenge.
The snacks were prepared by the eldest sister for Ah Jun, but the child was conflicted. He had carefully read the schools handbook, which stipulated that students were not allowed to bring snacks to school, let alone eat in class —— However, the eldest sister reassured him boldly, as they had already applied to the school, and the school surprisingly agreed readily.
The morning light filled the streets, making the whole city look alive. The pedestrians on the road, including schoolchildren, were walking, eating and chatting in the sun.
When Ah Jun walked to the intersection of the game store, he suddenly quickened his pace. He was going to follow the route he had studied last night and go to school —— He thought this way, but he wanted to minimize contact with others. He did not want to be treated like a zoo animal every day in the future.
Originally, the plan was to run, but after trying it out, the child found that his body could not bear it, so he had to give up, so he changed to race walking.
However, even though Ah Jun had such a cunning mind and meticulous plan, many people still noticed it carefully. Then wave after wave of people flashed in those helpless little eyes...
But when he arrived at the school wanting to take a break, he suddenly realized his obsession was wrong. —— Well done, now even running wont help. At this moment, people of his kind could be seen everywhere on campus, as classmates seemed to be mimicking the adults gazes and tones.
—— This made Ah Jun feel desperate... I, how can I stay? I really want to stay at home!
However, at this moment, he did not retreat, nor did he think about it, but quickly got rid of this negative thought —— because his sister told him not to pay too much attention to others eyes, words and thoughts.
In addition, my brother-in-law also said, these eyes and mouth are on someone elses face, you cant do anything about it, right —— so dont worry about it, just pretend you didnt see it.
—— Well, thats true, but its hard to do!
Sure enough, on the first day of school, Ah Jun spent an unusually miserable day alone in school.
Fortunately, the teachers in the school seem to be very nice. They are not talkative and have a rational look in their eyes. Especially the head teacher of Ah Jun, who seems to be on the side of good people —— He can eat when he wants to eat and lean on when he is tired. After all, there are no students sitting around him.
However, there is still some suspicion of backdoor dealings in doing so —— although the elder brothers husband often does this, Ah Jun always felt that special treatment should not be allowed.
Because, those lovely students, their eyes have become more strange —— I think, if it were not for the head teacher in the classroom, someone would throw a little paper ball at him.
What was even stranger happened at lunchtime when the cafeteria auntie unexpectedly brought him extra food... It was wonderful, but Ah Jun felt a bit puzzled. He looked up closely and ——Ha! The mask-wearing auntie turned out to be Aunt Zhang... She worked here now, finally able to fulfill her wish of bringing extra snacks to this poor child!
Of course, some of the more food-loving students near Ah Jun were quite displeased and voiced strong dissatisfaction and protest. But Aunt Zhang completely ignored them. While waving a large spoon and shaking it vigorously, she handed them a small clump of food and said they were too fat, urging them to lose weight.
Now Ah Jun seems to have offended a group of people at once. Looking at the love meal in the lunch plate, he felt a little difficult —— these kind-hearted people like Aunt Zhang, who were full of sincerity and care, but the child did not have the blessing to enjoy it. Or should he share it with his classmates?
So, while eating the food he had prepared, Ah Jun looked at the clean and hygienic leftovers nearby. While thinking about ——, he suddenly stopped after eating almost half of it. He must have reached his limit of appetite.
After all, the elder had told him that he should eat about 70 or 80 percent of his meal and not eat too much —— but Ah Jun had clearly eaten a little more than half of what his peers had eaten.
After burping, Ah Jun was about to leave, but at that moment, Aunt Zhang happened to arrive. She came specifically to ask him if he needed more ——. The child smiled bitterly and shook his head, thanked Aunt Zhang, kept burping, and tremblingly picked up the plate and hurried away.
At that moment, all the students in the cafeteria were watching him, some gritting their teeth in anger. Aunt Zhang, however, sighed with a smile, offering no objections. —— She knew how hard this child had struggled since childhood... All those inner pains were being borne alone by her, relying solely on that small frame!
So, the auntie wanted to let her children taste all the extra delicious food she made by herself, so that she could raise him fat in school.
But she did witness the childs difficulties —— once, Ah Jun followed the foodie brother-in-law Yi and the two of them sneaked into a small restaurant, saying they wanted to improve their food.
But when the child returned home, his face was pale and he complained of discomfort, saying that the food in his stomach was stuck and wouldnt move, and he kept burping... Uh! Hmm? Goose! He could even do it with some rhythm. The key is, he kept talking while burping, which was so pitiful!
As for this situation, you can give an example. It is like a small water column in an upright straw, which can only slowly descend, but once the bottom of the straw is pressed down, it does not move!
The outcome left the whole family in a panic, with no peace throughout the night—— The child himself endured prolonged distress... yet he remained alone in the attic, suppressing his emotions without complaint, mischief, or resentment. Though teary-eyed, not a single tear fell as he kept putting on a brave face, persistently reassuring his family.
—— Dont worry, Im better!
—— Wheres the good?
That night, Aunt Zhang happened to come to visit. Seeing how pitiful the child was, she could not stop her inner explosion —— She was angry and blamed all the responsibility on the rough guardian, so she and Qing severely criticized Yi.
They agreed that it must have been something the child had eaten outside that he could not eat, or that he had eaten too much, and that the kind but bad brother-in-law had been severely taught a lesson.
That night, the groans of the child and the screams of Yi were interwoven with each other for a long time.
Since then, the child has never violated this taboo —— showed extraordinary restraint, not only for himself, but also for the brother-in-law involved...
After that incident, Auntie Zhang was deeply moved. —— "Come on, my dear child! Youre already in such a tough spot and still trying to hold it together for others... At least have a good cry. This kid must be so miserable bottling up all this..." She continued, "Xiao Jun, you dont feel the pain yourself? I do!" Looking at him with concern, she added, "Seeing you like this makes our hearts ache. Even someone as rational as me is almost in tears!"
