reborn nature

Du Yun has been trying to pull Shi Yi's hand. Shi Yi is unwilling to hold hands with her. Although he is innocent, he is not a fool. He can already feel that this girl likes him, but he doesn't like Du Yun, so he shouldn't give her a hand. I hope, be decisive, and never see each other again after going back this time.

When the door was opened, Du Yun was going to grab Shi Yi's hand again. Shi Yi hid while opening the door, focusing on his hand, and for a while did not see Lin Dejiu who was sitting on the sofa.An Chengze was in the kitchen, the range hood was making a lot of noise, and he didn't hear the door open.When Shi Yi and Du Yun walked into the room, they heard An Chengze shouting from the kitchen: "The dishes are ready, come and help me set the table."

At this time, Shi Yi didn't care about Du Yun, he didn't care about not wearing shoes, he threw away Du Yun's hands that kept harassing him, and rushed into the room. He immediately saw Lin Dejiu, who had just jumped from the bedroom to the living room, and was blushing and heart beating after strenuous exercise.He got angry before he came, and An Chengze came out with two dishes, and said as he walked: "Did you hear that, hurry up and get the dishes and chopsticks to set the table, it will be your job to clean the dishes later, don't think that you are Come be a master."

An Chengze has never had his hair cut, his hair is a bit long, and his hair is soft, a strand of forehead hair always jumps up and down, so he clips his hair to his ears, the docile hair looks like An Chengze's whole person All docile.He was wearing casual clothes at home, wearing an apron, and asked Lin Dejiu to do his work in a rather casual tone. He looked very lifelike, and it was almost the same as the way he and Shi Yi got along in the past.

At that moment, Shi Yi only felt that the most precious and cherished thing in his heart was taken away by others. It was a life that only belonged to him and Ozawa, but now it was taken away by Lin Dejiu!Feelings of hesitation, worry, and hesitation were instantly crushed by anger. He kept a distance from Ozawa to maintain their relationship, not to let Ozawa be snatched away by others!

Shi Yi rushed to the dining table, wanting to take pictures of all the meals on Lin Dejiu. He looked at An Chengze with a livid face, but when he walked into the room, he found that Xiao Ze was actually faster than himself. Go to the door and look at Du Yun outside the door.

Shi Yi turned his head abruptly, wanting to shut the door before An Chengze saw Du Yun, but unfortunately he was half a beat slow because of his movements, An Chengze had already arrived in front of Du Yun.

No one saw what kind of eyes An Chengze looked at Du Yun. Lin Dejiu and Shi Yi felt frozen for about five or six seconds. At that moment, An Chengze stood by the door and looked at Du Yun without speaking. It seems to have dropped by dozens of degrees to make it cold.But soon, they heard An Chengze's enthusiastic voice: "Stone, isn't it rude to let such a beautiful classmate stand outside the door?"

He bent down and took out a spare slipper from the shoe cabinet, put it under Du Yun's feet, and said very politely: "Please come in."

Du Yun had the feeling of time travel for a moment, and she didn't know why she had a chill just now.The gentle and elegant person in front of me is obviously so enthusiastic, and every movement is so comfortable, just now... It was an illusion, after all, she was planning what to do at Shi Yi's house and how to behave when she saw Shi Yi's friends , when she came back to her senses and noticed An Chengze, the other party was so warm and gentle, making her feel like a spring breeze, and in this boy's smile, there was even a hint of heartbeat!

Walk into the room carefully, sit on the sofa, and keep a close distance from Lin Dejiu.An Chengze turned his head and glanced at the stiff Shi Yi. With that cold gaze, Shi Yi, who was full of anger, was immediately poured with cold water, and all impulsive thoughts dissipated.

"Stone, why don't you introduce me?"

It was only then that Shi Yi noticed that An Chengze didn't address him by the familiar "you" and "hey" or the intimate "brother" and "brother Yi". "Stone" sounded like a nickname only for brothers and friends. But he was called out by An Chengze with a hint of alienation.

Shi Yi is simple and single-minded. He still doesn't bump into the south wall without looking back after eight corners. When it comes to calculations, he gets a headache.However, growing up together since he was a child, he took An Chengze deep into his heart and knew him to the bottom of his bones. No matter how well he pretended, Shi Yi could still see that An Chengze was angry now, an unprecedented anger.The anger was even stronger than his just now, and it almost burned the whole room.He was smiling politely at Du Yun, and the atmosphere in the living room was very harmonious, but Shi Yi felt that the room was about to explode in the next second, and the heavy air pressure was pressing on his heart, making him unable to get angry anymore, as if he had done something wrong Things usually just hold their breath behind An Chengze.

Du Yun was sitting on the sofa. After An Chengze greeted her very politely, he turned to Lin Dejiu and said, "If you don't want to help me greet the guests, go and set the table. It just so happens that I have done a lot today, and Du Yun is here too." Let's eat, it's just noon."

Staying for dinner is a good opportunity to get in touch with Shi Yi, but as a girl, there are three boys in this room and she is the only girl, so it stands to reason that she should refuse to show her manners.Du Yun was trying to be reserved, but Lin Dejiu said reluctantly: "A good meal becomes four people, and you still want me to work? An Chengze, don't forget why you invited me to dinner, Miss Hui..."

"Yeah, I made this specially for you." An Chengze casually patted Young Master Lin, "So wouldn't it be more meaningful to do it yourself? Besides, how can Young Master Lin of the Lin family eat without someone to accompany him? ?”

Lin Dejiu blushed suspiciously again, then stood up and said, "Well, then go ahead and let you go. Damn, Shi Yi, let go of that bowl for me, An Chengze let me set the table!"

After dealing with these two idiots, An Chengze turned his head and smiled apologetically at Du Yun: "Don't mind, I didn't mean to treat you as a companion. Lin Dejiu has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart. In fact, he really hopes to have friends to accompany him." with him."

Hearing the word "Lin's", Du Yun was so nervous that she grabbed her skirt with her hands. She felt a little dry, and opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "I think he looks very handsome, and he doesn't look like our ordinary students."

An Chengze saw that she asked so tactfully, so he put down the bait: "He, the young master. Have you heard of Lin Yuanshan? The chairman of Lin's Shipping Trading Co., Ltd. is his father. It seems that his uncle is there. The official at the customs, he has been pampered since he was a child, and we will take care of him if he has a bad temper, he is not bad anyway."

Du Yun took a deep breath, her eyes opened wide, and after holding back for a long time, she finally suppressed her excitement, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Tingyi has been talking about Ozawa and Ozawa for a long time, and I really want to be with you." You are a friend. It is my honor to treat you with my own hands. How could I refuse. But I..."

She lowered her head in embarrassment, the drink stains on her clothes looked ridiculous, and they happened to be on her well-developed breasts.An Chengze looked at the stains on her clothes, raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth, looking bad and charming, Du Yun blushed, there are three men in this room, how come they are all so good, you can grab any one you want!Although An Chengze is not from a prominent family background, even if she is an elite in the future, she will have to struggle for 30 to [-] years to become a master. By then, she will be in her [-]s and [-]s, and her best age will be gone.But, although An Chengze has the worst status, he is the most handsome and charming... If you want to talk about friends, it's also... It's okay, alas, why does he always look at other people's chests, and smile well? handsome.

An Chengze suddenly leaned over and got very close, the man's aggression enveloped Du Yun, she wanted to run but was reluctant, so she could only blushed and stared at An Chengze.

"It turns out that the clothes are dirty. If you don't mind, I have clothes. Sportswear can be worn by both men and women. Although it is a bit big, it is new. I haven't worn it." An Chengze was about to burn his face in Du Yun's face When it was time to retreat to a safe distance, Du Yun heaved a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed, and nodded obediently.Unconsciously, in front of An Chengze, she showed the image of a good girl in front of adults.

Sending Du Yun back to the room to change clothes, a look of disgust flashed in An Chengze's eyes.In this world, the person who knew Du Yun best when he was young was her. At that time, he had a crush on Du Yun, wishing that he could interpret the meaning of her every movement and expression, and longing to understand his sweetheart.He knew what kind of type Du Yun liked, and it was easy for him to pretend to be like this for the time being.

Du Yun is greedy, realistic, good at disguising, and puts interests first, but at the same time, in her cognition, she wants to grasp men and rely on men, which is a typical little woman's thinking.She will only take it for granted that she will look down on anyone who is obedient to her, and only a slightly aggressive, somewhat aggressive man who hides his explicit lust in a gentleman's appearance can satisfy her desire to be admired, appreciated and controlled to the greatest extent. With her mentality, she will naturally fall in love with herself easily.However, Du Yun doesn't care about her family background, so she hopes that An Chengze is her true love and keeps hanging on to him, and she can catch either Shi Yi or Lin Dejiu, so that she has both love and money status.As for the so-called sense of morality, it's not that Du Yun doesn't have it, it's just that he is ranked last.A sense of morality is indispensable. Only with a sense of morality can she always tell herself that she has no choice but to live a life with one heart and one mind.

At this time, Lin Dejiu and Shi Yi had already set the table, and the steaming and fragrant food made people salivate.But neither of them was in the mood to study the dishes. They both saw the interaction between An Chengze and Du Yun, and they were quite upset.For some unknown reason, Shi Yi was able to hold back his temper, but Lin Dejiu was upset: "An Chengze, you are chasing after my sister while looking for other women!"

Shi Yi's face became more and more ugly, but An Chengze didn't even look at him, and said to Lin Dejiu: "Your thoughts are really dirty. I admire Sister Hui and treat her as my own sister. I don't have the kind of thinking you said. .Du Yun is Shitou's girlfriend. When she comes, you both have a dead face. I don't entertain anyone."

"She doesn't..." Shi Yi wanted to speak out against it, but An Chengze swept him over with a glance.He has never seen such eyes, alienated, cold, disappointed... How could Ozawa look at him like this.

Lin Dejiu pursed his lips, feeling inexplicably relieved after receiving An Chengze's answer.

After a while, Du Yun came out wearing An Chengze's clothes, her face was pink and pink, she was very cute.To be honest, Du Yun's face is really good, no wonder she is so greedy, because she has enough capital.

The only children's clothes in the room were An Chengze and Shi Yi, and Shi Yi was older than An Chengze. Even if Du Yun's clothes were new, he could tell at a glance whose clothes belonged to them.Both Lin Dejiu and Shi Yi looked very bad, but Du Yun is a pretty girl, and her clothes are dirty, so she can't take her clothes off.

Except for Du Yun, no one can eat a good meal. Shi Yi can usually eat a whole pot of rice, but today he couldn't swallow a bite of the dish. This was specially made by Ozawa for Lin Dejiu.Lin Dejiu looked at An Chengze chatting and laughing happily at the dinner table, and being courteous to Du Yun, he was so upset that he had to eat the meal specially made for him with other people, and he had to accompany a fucking woman!As for An Chengze, who knows what he is thinking, anyway, he looks very happy on the surface.

Feeling full of anger, Lin Dejiu threw his chopsticks and said, "Let's go!"

Du Yun wanted to stay a little longer, but heard An Chengze say: "Yunyun, you don't look good, you must be tired too, Shitou always doesn't know how to take care of girls. There are all boys in the family who don't take good care of you, a girl. Let’s call a few classmates to hang out together. Lin Dejiu, it happens that you are leaving too, so send Du Yun back first.”

Du Yun's eyes lit up when she heard that Lin Dejiu was sending her off, but Lin Dejiu said with a depressed face, "Why should I..."

An Chengze stepped forward, stomped on him and said, "Sending off girls is what a gentleman must do. Also, the next time we play together, ask Brother Chen to find a place. He knows these things best. Let's Where can these stupid students go to?"

Lin Dejiu was not a fool, he widened his eyes when he heard An Chengze say, pointed at him and said, "You, you..."

An Chengze grabbed his hand and wrapped the index finger in his palm: "What are you, I asked you to send the girls, why are you stuttering."

Lin Dejiu swallowed his saliva, not only felt that the wife surnamed An was not a f*cking thing to harm other girls, but also felt that Du Yun was really not pleasing to the eye, and didn't know what to do.But in this situation, he couldn't say anything in front of Du Yun, so he had to shut up in the end, and planned to talk to An Chengze in private, anyway, he hadn't introduced An Chengze to Guo Lichen yet.

After sending away Du Yun, who was satisfied but deliberately showing reluctant eyes to An Chengze, and Lin Dejiu, who was confused, and closed the door, there were only two people left in the room.

As soon as An Chengze closed the door, someone hugged the man from behind tightly, which was terrifyingly strong, as if trying to strangle his bones.Shi Yi buried his head into his neck and whispered: "Ozawa, Ozawa...I..."

"What about you?" An Chengze's voice was very cold, "You don't want me to cook for Lin Dejiu...or for anyone to eat, you don't want me to smile at Du Yun, you want to tell me that Du Yun is not your girlfriend?"

Shi Yi, who was told about the central matter, froze, allowing An Chengze to break free from his arms, turned around and said to him: "Shi Yi, why should I listen to you? I am an independent person, I have my own freedom. I can make friends with whomever I want. I can cook for whoever I like. Also, I’m almost an adult during Chinese New Year. What’s the big deal about liking girls? I’ll get married in the future Having a child, why do you ask me not to do these things? What is our relationship, are we brothers? You and Shi Cheng are still brothers, Uncle Shi and Director Shi are also brothers, and my mother and Aunt Xiaohua are still sisters, but who are they? It will prevent the other party from making friends, who would prevent others from marrying a wife and having children! Shi Yi, why are you!"

An Chengze was really angry and sad.He likes Shi Yi, so much that he can think of the step between the two of them in the next ten or twenty years until they grow old together. He has even imagined every possible setback and tried to solve it, whether it is from the outside world or between the two of them. .He can calmly tell himself that Shi Yi is still a child, and he just needs to wait for him to grow up quietly. It is understandable for Shi Yi to meet girls at this confused stage. He gave him the freedom to think clearly about the relationship between the two .

He counted everything, but he didn't count feelings.An Chengze is also a person, he will be jealous and hurt, and when he sees his sweetheart walking with other women, especially Du Yun, he will feel sad and even hate. It is not Shi Yi's patent to be jealous and domineering.

Shi Yi was rendered speechless by An Chengze's training, what should he do, what can he do?It's just that Ozawa has listened to him very much since before. The person he doesn't like, Ozawa, tries to stay away from this person as much as possible. He always stands by his side and never leaves.I don't know when it started, but Shi Yi has already decided that Ozawa is his person. Whenever he turns his head, Ozawa will look at him from behind.This time is the same, he likes Ozawa, and wants to maintain this relationship, so he distances himself from Ozawa to think clearly, but why can he be sure that Ozawa will not find other friends during this period of time away from Ozawa? , won't become better than him with other people, why should he?

"Do you think that I will stand by your side even if the world perishes?" An Chengze once again said what was on Shi Yi's mind.

"Shi Yi, that's because I dote on you!" An Chengze punched Shi Yi on the chest, "You stabbed me with a knife when you were a child, and I gave you extra lessons at home to recuperate, just to spoil you; But you intentionally lost to you in front of your younger brother, it’s pampering you; during the scout training, you had a grudge against Yang Feng for no reason, and I undoubtedly stand by your side to cheat the innocent Yang Feng, it’s pampering you; while sleeping all night Being kicked awake by you eight times, I still follow your will and sleep in the same bed, it’s pampering you; there is a babysitter, but I still rush home every day after class to cook for fear of starving you, it’s pampering you; In Beijing, you can’t help saying that you want to grab Lin Dejiu’s bunk and beat up innocent classmates. I forced Lin Dejiu to move to the dormitory because I spoiled you; Uncle Shi didn’t want you to live with me, so I tried every means to let you live This family is also pampering you! All these years, it's not you who have been covering me, but I have been spoiling you all the time. I don't want to see you get hurt a little bit, and I don't want to hear others say no to you, and I don't want you to be wronged in the slightest! Think about it carefully, in the past, when you were saving hours, even if you were the boss, someone would mother you in front of you, you have no father or mother, and later, did you hear that sentence again?"

"Even if we are brothers, I don't have to do these things. Lin Wanli and Cheng Fei have never done it before." An Chengze took a deep breath and pushed the stupid Shi Yi away, " Now I find out that I was wrong, I spoiled you as a lawless young master full of loopholes and brains, from the time I realized it to now, you have been doing things like scaring children with knives, nothing has changed."

Even if he likes him so much that he puts the other party in his heart, An Chengze is a person who will take revenge.Shi Cheng's worry is not wrong, An Chengze is indeed not suitable for Shi Yi, if there is any conflict between the two, Shi Yi must be the one who throws away his helmet and armor.He would not make others feel comfortable when he was angry, and the people he loved would suffer the same punishment as him. Every sentence he said was reasonable and heart-wrenching. How could a fool like Shi Yi bear it.

Knowing that he was wrong, he stood in front of An Chengze in a daze, not knowing any sweet words, not even an apology.He kept looking at An Chengze, his heart as strong as a diamond was gouged out with blood dripping from these words.As simple as Shi Yi, how could he know that the power of words is a hundred times more terrifying than his fists.

"You go back to school." An Chengze bypassed the pillar-like Shi Yi, and patted him on the shoulder. "You didn't apply for day school in the first place. You lived on campus all the time, but you stayed here every day."

"I won't leave!" Shi Yi hugged An Chengze again, even though he was stabbed all over, he still didn't leave.

"Then go."

For Du Yun, An Chengze had long since let go.After he taught Lin Dejiu a lesson in the previous life, Young Master Lin dared not do anything to him because of the video in his hand, so he took the medicine and vented his anger on Du Yun who didn't understand, forcing Du Yun to have no way to get along in the circle and had to go to the magic city , becoming a middle-aged, bald, pot-bellied second marriage of a local tycoon, playing house fights with the local tyrant's funny relatives all day long, and before An Chengze took revenge, he became extremely old, and in the end he didn't even have a child.Decades later, An Chengze had long forgotten this woman and the hatred he had for her when he knew he was betrayed, and even forgot this person in his memory.However, when he saw Du Yun following Shi Yi, one side of his mind went blank, and the overwhelming hatred almost forced him to strangle Du Yun to death on the spot.

Shi Yi has been a pet of him since he was a child, and he is willing to protect the person who makes him the eternally happy Peter Pan for the rest of his life, so that he cannot be hurt by Du Yun.She had already ruined his love in the previous life, making it impossible for him to respond to Lin Dehui's feelings for the rest of his life. Would she still want to destroy Shi Yi in this life!

It took only a few seconds for An Chengze to suppress his anger, and a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone rose to his mind.He never thought of taking the initiative to deal with Du Yun, a greedy and pathetic woman, but she shouldn't touch the person he loves the most.

At the same time, he also realized that Shi Yi had to grow up, he couldn't be Peter Pan all his life.

He loves Shi Yi so deeply, it is the intertwined memories of his past life and present life that make him love and cherish Shi Yi so much.However, Shi Yi in this life did not experience the pain of his previous life, but he was unable to grow. If this continues, he will turn Shi Yi into a useless person.Although he loves Shi Yi, it must be said that if Shi Yi is always like this, he is not worthy of him.Shi Yi's actions couldn't keep up with An Chengze's thoughts, and sooner or later the two of them would be in harmony.

No matter how much you like it, let it go.

Even if it is possible to push Shi Yi far away from him, he will never be able to pull back this distance in his life.

"Don't get lost!" Shi Yi's eyes were red, and his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe.He has never felt so uncomfortable in his life, like a fish that has been thrown to the shore forcibly, his whole body is hurt by the sun, he opened his mouth desperately, but he couldn't breathe the air he longed for.An Chengze is his life-saving thorn, even if hugging him will hurt his whole body, dripping with blood, he must never let go.Hugging him will only hurt you, but leaving him will make you unable to live.In seven years, from an ignorant child to a vigorous youth, An Chengze has been integrated into his flesh and blood, and his body functions will not function normally.

How could he be so stupid, how could he think that he could leave Ozawa, and still want to try to find another girl to see if he can replace Ozawa's feelings in his heart, how is this possible!Shi Yi couldn't accept the thought that Ozawa would marry a wife and have children in the future, and that a woman he didn't know would occupy his entire life instead of him.He carefully cared for the relationship between the two, but the more he cared, the more it deteriorated. How should he treat Ozawa well and like him.

"I won't leave, I like you!" Shi Yi almost yelled out his current mood, he pressed An Chengze firmly against the wall, and kissed him clumsily.This idiot, even if he doesn't even know how to kiss, he will play forced kiss first, but he will only kiss An Chengze's ear indiscriminately. go up.

"I like you, I like you, I like you..." The boy's simple enthusiasm was ignited by the repeated words, Shi Yi licked and bit An Chengze's Adam's apple, and reacted uncontrollably, this time he didn't He quickly ran to the bathroom, but rubbed eagerly on An Chengze's body.

An Chengze was still no match for Shi Yi's strength, and of course he never thought of resisting.He is also young, and even if he gets angry again, his body will be easily ignited.When a sweetheart fawns over himself so clumsily, anger will turn into lust.But he was still calm, he couldn't let Shi Yi notice his reaction at this time.

"Do you like me?" An Chengze's clear and cold voice penetrated into Shi Yi's ears like a jade quilt, "So you are now...do you want me to spoil you again? Are you going to rape me, Shi Yi. "

Two words that are too heavy and too sinful for an upright child entered Shi Yi's brain fiercely. His body trembled, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked up at An Chengze and said, "I, I didn't, I just... …like you."

"Then what are you doing now, can you explain? Those students in our school who confessed to each other, have you ever seen a boy who said I like you and then rushed to push the girl to the ground and gnaw her clothes?"

Most of An Chengze's shirt has been torn off, and Shi Yi's delicate collarbone is displayed in front of Shi Yi's eyes. There are water stains on his Adam's apple that he just licked just now, and his chest heaves and falls because of anger and lust. Bumped into Shi Yi's sight.

But he was no longer in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he slowly let go of An Chengze with his hands like pliers, and then he heard An Chengze say: "Let's not mention whether I like you or not, fundamentally speaking, Shi Yi , you are not good enough for me."

Shi Yi couldn't refute such arrogant words.

An Chengze raised his hand and gently rubbed Shi Yi's taller head: "You are still a child, and I have grown up prematurely. Our thinking will never be in the same dimension, even if you want to like men , I should also like people of the same age. If only my mind was on the same level as yours, then I can simply treat you well, try to get what you want, and be happy when you smile, and get angry when you are angry , It’s as simple as that when you feel uncomfortable.”

It's not a thrill or a calculation, it's an out-and-out fact.An Chengze found sadly that his love had pushed the two of them further and further apart.He was reluctant to let Shi Yi go to the pain, but the child only knew what was wrong and what needed to be corrected only when he fell and hurt.

What he likes is the man in his previous life who was unsmiling and silently guarding the person who could hold him tightly when he was in pain and madness due to withdrawal reaction, and let him bite him bloody and never let go, a man as strong as steel, a memory people in.

The big boy in front of him is not his Shi Yi, he is just projecting the affection in his memory onto another person.

"Go back to school. My mother and Uncle Shi will be back soon. When they get married, we will be real brothers." An Chengze lightly pushed Shi Yi away, walked back to his room, locked the door, and lost all strength. sitting on the ground.

He remembered, in that distant memory, a scene he had forgotten.In the army, that man has been protecting him and helping him. The relationship between the two is neither far nor close, but there is an inexplicable tacit understanding.He remembered that during the hard training in the military camp, he also had fun. During the first field march, he grew up in the An family. He was so stupid that he would burn the pheasant he caught. Shi Yi looked helplessly He ate all the burnt parts, and his mouth was covered with black ashes, while he pointed at Shi Yi's mouth heartlessly and laughed.He remembered, and when he laughed, Shi Yi suddenly grabbed his wrist, his eyes were as bright as obsidian.He remembered, Shi Yi left him a month before leaving the army, before leaving, he left him an address, and said seriously——

"Demobilized, come and find me."

At that time, Shi Yi's gaze was extremely firm and hot, as if if he didn't nod his gaze, his gaze would burn a hole in his body.An Chengze, who was still naive and still confused, was stared at and nodded hurriedly. Shi Yi showed the brightest smile in the past two years. The smile was so beautiful that it seemed that the rough stone had been polished to shine brightly.

If at that time, he hadn't forgotten the past two years as the culprit, then after Liu Ru's death, the only person he could rely on was Shi Yi who had extended a helping hand to him in the army.He will go to him, let him comfort himself silently, and maybe let him hug him when he is vulnerable.

But he forgot that Shi Yi and Shi Yi had become two parallel lines that could no longer intersect, and Shi Yi had been waiting for him on the other side.

Shi Yi outside the door looked at An Chengze's closed door, clenched his fists, and finally made up his mind.
