The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave

"I'm not sad, just a little angry and upset."

"Human tears represent many complex emotions. Can't you feel my true feelings?"

Sun Zhu lay flat on the bed, his expression having returned to calm.

Cedric sat quietly on the sofa beside the bed, glancing at her from time to time, weighing his words in his mind, looking conflicted.

Sun Zhu had just finished comforting Tongzi when he opened his eyes and saw someone with a drooping mouth, like a wounded golden retriever, his eyes were dim and the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little red.

"...You." She started, her voice unexpectedly hoarse, "I... cough cough..."

A cup of warm water was immediately handed to Sun Zhu, who sat up and took a sip. It was just the right temperature and had a slight sweetness.

"Thank you..." She didn't know why her voice became hoarse. It was obvious that she just shed a few tears in a hurry. How did she become like this?

But right now, someone looked more serious than her. She had never seen him look so depressed before. He looked like a big golden retriever soaked by rain, or like a ragdoll cat that accidentally fell into a fountain.

Looks pitiful, yet...not easy to mess with.

"Did I...scare you?" She reached out and poked his clenched hand, "Are you angry?"

"No." He looked up, his voice a little hoarse, "I'm scared."

It turned out that she wanted to leave here and get away from it all.

How to stay away from it?

What would he do if she did?

"What are you afraid of?" She frowned, as if recalling her own words.

Is he afraid of his sudden madness? After all, which normal student would think so much at once and look like he is ready to fight the big guys to death?

He should have been able to sense her "unusualness" all along.

Not only does he have many secrets, but his thinking and behavior are also not like those of people of the same age.

Sometimes she would forget that he was just an underage student because of his thoughtfulness and consideration. However, unlike her, he was a young boy who was consistent in appearance and heart, while she had a sensitive and tangled "weird aunt" in her heart.

"I know that I can easily make people around me tired. People with unstable emotions are like time bombs wherever they go. But this is not what you should endure." She rubbed her temples and glanced outside the door.

Senior Cecilia and the others might still be waiting outside, worried about her situation.

"Sed, I'm fine now. You should go and rest too, and wait for the captain and the others tomorrow..."

"Zhu, I want to know, will you leave here alone one day and disappear...into everyone's world?" Cedric shook his head. "I don't think there's anything unbearable about you right now. What I'm afraid of is that one day I won't be able to see you like this anymore."

He continued to half-kneel and looked up at the person who was leaning on the bed. He had the same face as a teenager like him, but he had the pale and haggard look that only adults who had shouldered too much would have.

"I don't know what you said to Senior Cecilia before. She just said that you were confused because of your concern. I think the specific reason must be related to Uncle Sun. But if you really encountered something serious, could you..." He paused, as if he didn't know what to say next.

The situation that made her want to leave must be very serious and critical. What promises could he make to her now? What ability did he have to make her believe that he could help her solve the crisis she might face? Was it just a few words?

He may not even know the specific situation. Many times he just follows his heart without knowing the reason. But if the future is really so dangerous, should he continue to be a good student who knows nothing?

"I can solve these problems, I think. Don't worry." She looked at Cedric who was pursing his lips and said softly. This sentence sounded like a promise, and also like a hint to herself that she could definitely do it.

Wouldn't it be better to deal with Voldemort in advance? If the Death Eaters have no chance to turn the tables, then Dad and the others will naturally not be in danger.

"what about me?"

Is it possible for me to help you, instead of being excluded from danger and plans?

"You..." She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled at him, "If one day I am sure that I am about to be defeated, I will definitely take you away with me."

If she found that she could not stand up to Voldemort and the Death Eaters, could not protect herself and most importantly her father, and was forced to leave this magical world, she must take Cedric with her - in a normal plot without her, he would be the first victim, and it would be a tragedy that could be avoided.

The tragedy was that his death was so sudden and worthless. He was not even often mentioned with the others who died in the war - everyone seemed to have forgotten him.

Of course, there are still people who remember him, otherwise how could she trigger the mission about him? But is it too much for him to use his life to warn others? It is also too cruel for those who care about him.

"Anyway, I'll hide you somewhere far away from all this and stop playing with them. Of course, I'm not ignoring the others, but I can't take care of so many people, so I can always leave a letter to remind them to be careful and avoid danger." She pinched her fingers and began to imagine possible situations. "It sounds pretty cowardly, doesn't it?"

The twins always said that she should be a Gryffindor, but where did she get such courage? What she had was the confidence brought by various golden fingers and the luck similar to the gambler's mentality.

Maybe I am the legendary chosen one who can save everyone? It doesn't matter if she is accused of meddling in other people's business, as long as it can reduce the regret, grief and tears of this world.

Cedric's eyes widened and he seemed to have lost his voice.

"Take me... and run?"

"Um, ahem, oh, right, shouldn't I tell you about this? What if you don't like it? And how should I explain it to Aunt Fiona? And Dad will probably be unhappy too." She supported her cheek with one hand and sighed, "I don't think it will work. It's better to stay here and beat Voldemort to death. It's easier."

Cedric didn't think much about where the arrogance in her words came from. Rather than paying attention to the "danger" and "Voldemort" she mentioned, he cared more about the fact that although she still tried to keep him out of danger, he was not excluded from the plan.

Sun Zhu realized that she had said something wrong and felt a little annoyed at her lack of clarity. However, to her surprise, someone just stared at her with his wet eyes and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"
