Chapter 730: A connection other than myself
Chapter 730: A connection other than myself
"Mother……"
The doll sat in front of the bed, with its mother next to it, leaning on her shoulder.
"What's going on? It sounds like something important... Can you tell Mom?"
When a child only says half of what he wants to say and does not continue, it means that he finds it difficult to speak but really needs help. At this time, you can try to ask guiding questions or try to listen gently. It mainly depends on what kind of educational method was used before.
"What does it mean if a boy blushes when he holds your hand?"
"..." He clenched the pen in his hand and crumpled the book with his other hand. "Can you tell me which child it is? Little Bruno Linxi..."
"Mom seems very angry?"
"...Mom isn't really angry, she's just shocked. I never expected her to be so young... Mom is telling you, holding hands, especially between opposite sexes, is a relatively intimate expression of affection. Apart from kinship, generally speaking, holding hands between people of the opposite sex means they're very good friends, or maybe they're interested in you. But you should learn to refuse others appropriately. If some older guy tries to hold your hand, tell Mom, okay?"
"Okay, I understand, Mom, but that won't happen. That boy is a little younger than me, only seven years old. He's very cute..."
"?"
I'm totally overthinking it...
It seems that after becoming parents, we are always worried about our children becoming unhappy or getting hurt for no reason when taking care of them.
"He's a strange guy like me, feeling no emotions, but he's a very gentle guy. I stared into his eyes for a long time, and he wasn't shy at all. But his eyes are very beautiful, the same beautiful purple as my mother's..."
"...That's right, then why...then why did he hold your hand?"
I still have to ask why they hold their own child's hand? Although if they are seven years old, it is most likely pure friendship.
"I was holding his hand. If I hadn't, he would have fallen in the garden. He's a very weak human being. I was the one who hit him yesterday. I've already apologized."
"..."
Of course the child knew that there was nothing wrong with his body, and theoretically, as a boy, he should not be here.
Since both parents are still alive, this is very unbelievable.
In this day and age, a healthy boy of seven would not be abandoned easily.
After all, he is already seven years old and can help with the work to some extent. If he wants to learn a craft, he would have started practicing by now instead of being abandoned at the door.
There were no physical problems, so my attention turned to my mind, and sure enough, I discovered some problems.
There is a special disease, which can be generally called antisocial personality.
There is no way to perceive other people's anger, sadness, and pain, but all children can be taught, so this child stayed and seemed to be more like an ordinary child, which means he learned to disguise.
A madman who has learned to disguise himself.
But all children are like a blank slate. Although they cannot perceive those emotions, as long as they work hard and want to change, they can change, right?
"...Lelan is a very strange guy. Mom thinks so too, right?"
"Um……"
"Le Lan is a guy who treats me very well. Maybe it's because he thinks I'm the same kind of person, or maybe he wants to gain my favor and get closer to my mother."
Bruno Linxi is more inclined to the second part, and seems to hope to use himself as a bridge to reach his mother. After all, his mother is the one in control here.
What I said yesterday might even have been said on purpose...
"I understand. Just have normal contact with him first, just like you would with any other friend. Don't be too scared, don't be too angry, don't ignore him, and don't get too close to him."
"Um……"
Today's topic continues. Today we will talk about how to use alchemy better in theory. Of course, special materials have been prepared, but for children, they are still too young, although they will not grow up.
He is about 14 years old now. He is not too short, but definitely not tall either.
I need to use alchemy to slowly make my body bigger, until it looks like a 16-year-old at least.
Time passed by and this winter passed.
After spring arrived, my health did improve a lot, it seemed that it was because the gods had more time to help, or perhaps it was because the earth veins had become warmer with the arrival of spring.
After I recovered, I was able to appear in public more often. Although I still had to wrap myself up, I was able to interact with others normally. I also attended parties and other events normally.
I have to raise some investment to keep the kids fed. No matter what, they should be well fed, not hungry. This is what I always insist on!
"Mother……"
"I'm here. Oh, I'm really a little tired. Spring has arrived and there are so many things to deal with. Mom has been busy like a spinning top lately..."
"Mom looks so busy and tired... I will stay with her."
"Thank you very much for accompanying me. I can understand these things, right? Mom taught you. Come and help me write them, and then I will handle this part."
Looking at the huge thing, she coughed softly, and then began to write desperately. The child, watching his mother's efforts, also began to write seriously the proposal of making his body taller again. It has been approved that it will take about a week to fully adapt, and of course he has to choose a good day to do it.
"After today, you will need to stay here for a week. Mom will work hard to ensure that you are in good health. Do you want to say goodbye to your friends in advance?"
“…I just need to talk to one person.”
"It's Lelan, right?"
"Ah."
It seems that I finally have a close friend. I don’t know why, but I always feel like a stone in my heart has fallen. Maybe it’s because I have a connection in this world besides myself, although this connection person is not much better.
"I have some stuff to do and won't be here for a week."
"Really? I'm going to miss you. Bye."
"Is this our farewell?"
"Shouldn't people's goodbyes be shorter?"
"Yeah, but I think we are different, so I hope the goodbye will be longer."
"Then I'll tell you next time when we say goodbye."
