[Boom Out Win][ABO] Untitled

08.

His scorched home is in the suburbs. When Green Valley drove all the way from the city, he saw a lot of early autumn scenery. The soft sunlight along the way fell through the gaps in the lush trees, rendering his journey mottled with light and shadow.As soon as he said his name, the butler smiled: "Please follow me."

He stepped into the entrance, stepped on the wooden floor, and followed the butler through the courtyard. From the corner of his eye, he saw a few servants sweeping fallen leaves, and immediately felt like going back in time while watching a movie.But before he could grasp the sense of familiarity, the housekeeper stopped in the next second and said in a low voice, "Master Jiao Dong, Mr. Lugu is here."

In the room facing the courtyard, Izuku Midoriya saw Hong Jiaodong.He was wearing a loose T-shirt, perhaps because it was cool in early autumn, and he was wearing a nondescript black haori. He suddenly raised his head when he heard the butler's words, and was stunned when he met Izuku's smiling gaze. Next, the first sentence is actually: "This is what my sister forced me to wear."

Green Valley expressed her understanding: "My mother is always like this."

From the outside, Hong Jiaodong looks good, without the weakness and restraint that a patient should have.He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, there were several stacks of documents on the low table in front of him, and the cap of the pen hadn’t been screwed on yet. He looked like he was working at home——when Hong Jiaodong was looking at the display in the room while Green Valley Glancing at the butler, he silently asked why he didn't tell him the news of Green Valley's arrival in advance.

The silver-haired housekeeper showed a somewhat apologetic smile, pointed upwards, and told him that it was Honji's instruction.

Hong Jiaodong's eyes were fixed, and he almost broke the pen, when he heard Lugu ask him: "Is Mr. Hong's injury healed? It doesn't look like a big problem, right?"

Hong Jiaodong had no choice but to tell the truth: "Well, it's just a flesh wound."

It's better to change the plan. He even prepared the hospital gown and bandages, so he can only give up now.Green Valley looked very happy, and didn't notice Hong Jiaodong's depression at all: "That's great, I'm relieved now."

Rather, he felt relieved the moment he saw Hong Jiaodong.He looked no different from usual, those false rumors were naturally dispelled, and his purpose of coming to visit the doctor was more than half completed: "Since Mr. Hong is busy, I will--"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Hong Jiaodong standing up suddenly, kicking the low table to the corner: "Let me take you out for a walk."

...It seems that Mr. Hong's injury is almost healed.

Green Valley followed Hong Jiaodong as he walked in the corridor, still thinking about it.The courtyard of Hong’s house is patchwork, elegant and delicate. Before the visit, Lugu heard that Hong Yansi specially set up his home in the suburbs for this courtyard. Today, seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation. Walking in it, even the mood will calm down unknowingly.Today's air is slightly cool and the sun is just right, which is a good time to view the scenery - he felt the light touch of his feet on the wooden boards, and saw the thump in front of him stop, and said to him: "Here .”

"Huh?" He stepped forward in confusion, "What's wrong?"

As soon as he raised his eyes, the landscape of the garden came into view at a glance.

Green trees and rocks of different sizes set off the small attic not far away. The water surface is slightly rippling, and the lotus that has not completely withered is floating quietly. Gu held his breath all of a sudden, and after a long while, he admired: "It's so beautiful... I don't even know what to say."

Hong Jiaodong also stared at the beautiful scenery, nodded along with Lugu, and said casually: "This is the best viewing spot. If you come in late autumn, the red maple leaves should be even more beautiful."

At that time, the entire courtyard will be like "coming to life", full of splendor, bright as fire, and it is also Hong Yansi's favorite scenery.

It's just that he doesn't like that red color, it's too dazzling.

It seemed to be silently laughing at him.

He was thinking this way, but he didn't notice that Lu Gu had turned his gaze to him, and asked, "Mr. Hong—don't you like it?"

Hong Jiaodong suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and found that Izuku of Green Valley had once again captured his emotions keenly. This kind of thing had never happened to him before. He couldn't help being a little confused, and avoided Green Valley's eyes: "No, I just……"

He paused, looked back at the courtyard, and whispered, "I don't come here often."

Green Valley blinked, and did not continue to ask, but sat on the side of the edge, sighed: "I want to go back to my hometown - I also lived in this kind of big house when I was young, and there is a very big house in the yard. I have hidden marbles in it, and there is also a tin box with small toys in it, I really want Mr. Hong to see it too."

Hong Jiaodong followed him and sat down, listening to him babbling about his childhood stories.Green Valley’s storytelling ability is quite good, and the emotional rendering is very good (it’s better to say that he is super emotional when he tells it), and the story of catching a unicorn fairy can be told by him with ups and downs – Hong Jiaodong was not interested in it , Listening and unconsciously asking "and then".Green Valley talked for more than 20 minutes, seeing that Hong Jiaodong was completely addicted to listening, and asked him seriously, "Why did you get lost in the mountains?".

"... How can a child recognize the direction," Lu Gu said naturally, "I don't know where I am when I turn around."

Hong Jiaodong still couldn't understand, Lugu wanted to laugh when he saw his expressionless face thinking: "Has Mr. Hong been a genius who knows everything since he was a child?"

Hong Jiaodong broke away from the state of contemplation.Staring at the surface of the water wrinkled by the wind, he also frowned: "I...actually don't remember much about my childhood."

Memory is selective.They like excitement, so they repeatedly played and strengthened the cruelest scene in Hong Jiaodong's childhood, like a daily advertisement on TV-while other insignificant stories have become fragmented pieces as he grew up.Hong Jiaodong thought about it seriously, and felt that the stories he remembered were either dull or gloomy, just like himself.

Seeing that he was lost in thought again, Lugu felt that his words made Hong Jiaodong difficult, and hurriedly said: "I'm just a little curious, Mr. Hong, don't be embarrassed, don't say what you don't want to say."

Hong Jiaodong shook his head, the wind blew through his forehead hair, and Lugu found that his eyes were shining like glass, at that moment he looked extremely stiff and indifferent, he didn't look like a human being: "I don't want to say, There's really nothing to say."

Hong Jiaodong is essentially a self-hating person.

During the years he was away from home, he fell into self-loathing several times and couldn't extricate himself. During that time, he knew that his mental state was unstable and he tried to find a counselor.

He can articulate his mental illness and character flaws fluently and clearly, and he also understands that what keeps him trapped is the bad habits of the past.He cooperated with the treatment and told the truth as frankly as possible. In the end, the psychiatrist surrendered and said to him: "I can't enlighten you, and you don't need to enlighten me-I can't treat a person who thinks he is hopeless."

"If you keep denying the 'other part' of yourself, the rest of you will collapse very quickly."

"Boom sir."

Green Valley Izuku interrupted Hong Jiaodong's thinking.He turned to look at him sideways, their calves were pressed together, Hong Jiaodong leaned back a little unaccustomed, and heard Lu Gu say: "It's a bit rude to say that, but the last time I saw you I wanted to ask when you were there—where exactly are you looking at?"

Hong Jiaodong was stopped by his question, and Lvgu Deku showed an aggressiveness that was completely different from his appearance at this time, facing Hong Jiaodong's blank gaze, he continued: "I know I'm a bit of a nosy, but Mr. Hong showed a sad expression just now——have you encountered any trouble?"

It's too sharp.

This feeling is like the prey being shot in the heart by a sniper rifle in a defenseless state-a crack was pried open in the deepest part of the heart, and Hong Jiaodong suddenly thought of retreating. The countless psychiatrists The "don't care" that was pretending to be on the surface, which hadn't been broken, unexpectedly showed signs of decline in an instant: "I—"

Lugu found that his expression changed suddenly, the layer of ice covering Hong Jiaodong's eyes burst suddenly, and the emotions inside were wrapped in flames, sweeping violently and hotly - he didn't know that Hong Jiaodong At this moment, his heart felt as if he had experienced an earthquake, thinking that he had been frightened by himself again, so he hurriedly stood up: "Mr. Hong, are you alright?"

Hong Jiaodong grabbed Lu Gu's wrist, he used so much force that his knuckles turned slightly white, then he shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm fine—I'm just a little surprised."

He didn't expect that he couldn't control his emotions—at that moment, he was like a child, and the emotions in his heart gushed out, which shocked him.

Green Valley observed his face: "Do you really not need to see a doctor?"

Hong Jiaodong nodded vigorously like a child, and did not let go of the hand holding Lugu. The warm touch was familiar yet unfamiliar. He seemed to be able to draw strength from this thin heat, and covered the entire palm of his hand. On the back of Green Valley's hand: "——this will be fine."

The turbulent emotion in his eyes was still there, but his whole body gradually relaxed, and he sat closer to Green Valley.

"I'm actually a boring and twisted person."

He stared at the warm autumn scenery in the garden, and slowly opened his mouth.

After listening to the butler's report, Hong Yansi raised his eyebrows: "He left without reading the account book?"

The housekeeper nodded, and added: "Master Jiao Dong said that he will finish watching tonight."

This Hong Yansi didn't care at all.He knows his son well, even if he hates him, he will definitely finish what he promised.Moreover, he hates procrastination extremely. Unlike his appearance, he is a decisive person in doing things.

That's what makes this visitor different.

He silently said the name of Green Valley several times, and he always felt that it was familiar, and then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "It's a student of All Might!"

All Might, who is both black and white, has retired now and doesn't care about world affairs. Koyanji heard him accidentally mentioning that he accepted a student a few years ago. In a few months, I'm afraid I can't even learn the fur.At that time, Hong Yansi heard the news from one ear to the other. If he hadn't been overly sensitive to his old opponent, he would have forgotten the name long ago.

He wrote down the name and asked, "Then where are they now? This visit is too long, and it's not an important guest!"

This question is too stingy, the butler smiled calmly: "Master Jiao Dong said he will be careful."

"Ha, if he knew how to behave, he wouldn't have left his job and ran away," Hong Yansi snorted coldly, but he wasn't angry, as if he was used to it, "I'd rather he was dying like usual."

He doesn't like Hong Jiaodong's tepid temper, a man can be calm, but he can't be without ambition; but he doesn't like Hong Jiaodong's occasional strong emotional outbursts, Hong Jiaodong's love and hatred are too clear If you hate someone, you have to reject everything about him.As a hated object, Koyanji took many years to barely find a way to get along with his son.

By analogy, if Hong Jiaodong likes someone, he will be good to her regardless - when the mistress of the Hong family was still in the house, before seeing her every time, even if Hong Jiaodong was injured You must insist on taking a bath, and you will never let her smell a trace of blood. This kind of ascetic way of showing favor makes Hong Yansi angry when he sees it.

"That guy—my father, told me since I was a child that Beta or Omega are just my toys and appendages—just like luxury cars and watches, they can only be used to show status or achieve goals."

Hong Jiaodong spoke very fluently, obviously Hong Yansi said this to him more than once: "It is a very absurd thing to indulge in children's affection and be emotional with 'items'-so the combination of him and my mother Purely out of interest."

"As for me, it's like a medal to him," Hong Jiaodong continued to state, "He wants to show off how good this medal is to others, so he wants to polish this medal to be radiant—to be seen by others Seeing me is like seeing him."

He was trained strictly since he was a child, learning everything from behavior etiquette to mental tricks. Such forced indoctrination was opposed by Hong Jiaodong's mother, but Hong Yansi had long since ignored the opinion of this "waste object".Hong Jiaodong was sandwiched between the two, and split into two people - on the one hand, he grew up rapidly in front of Hong Yansi, and was terribly precocious among his peers; on the other hand, he wanted to be a "child" in front of his mother , Trying my best to get a smile from her.

"I feel like she and I are 'acting', tacitly maintaining a superficial calm," Hong Jiaodong curled his fingers, but he still spoke without hesitation, "Later, she collapsed first. "

He found that when he told these stories, the scar on his face still ached.

"I'd rather Jiao Dong keep the look of not caring about anything," Hong Yansi said, put down his work, and said to the housekeeper, "Take me to find him."

He would never allow another person to come out and disrupt the Hong family's situation.
