love needs nourishment

Ever since Obi-Wan spent his first typhoon night in Naboo at Qui-Gon's house, his relationship with the neighbor next door had grown by leaps and bounds.

Every day when Obi-Wan went to work and passed the flower shop, Qui-Gon would stop him and hand him a flower and a lunch box filled with light meals.There are many varieties of flowers. Although he doesn't know many, he still knows tulips, carnations and lilies.For this reason, Kunlan from the police station gave him meaningful looks every day. No matter how he explained that there is no golden house, no one would believe it.

Fortunately, he has not received red roses so far, he comforted himself.

Opening today's lunch box, Obi-Wan was taken aback by the meat and broccoli stuffed to the brim. Obi-Wan laughed lightly. Is this to urge him to grow more meat?It seems that I have lost a lot of weight recently.In a slim vase on the table is a white mandala.

On the other hand, Anakin at school looked at his lunch with black lines all over his face, which turned out to be an uncharacteristically light and healthy meal. He had a dark face and didn't show a good face all afternoon.

When he knocked on the door of Qui-Gon's house at night and returned the cleaned lunch box to him, Obi-Wan was entrusted with the important task of taking care of Ana during the three days when Qui-Gon was out of town to negotiate a new year's contract with suppliers. Kim's responsibility fell on his shoulders.The little boy respectfully and politely promised himself that he would be obedient in front of Qui-Gon, turned around and gave Obi-Wan a grimace while he was not paying attention.

The young sheriff felt his head hurt.

The first day of getting along without incident looked like a test. Anakin quietly accepted all of Obi-Wan's arrangements, and even tried to swallow the green pepper that he never ate, but ended up running to the trash can in the kitchen He spit it out all at once.This made Obi-Wan feel that he was too negligent of his duty, and he was self-righteous talking to himself without fully understanding the child's taste.

But the next day, what happened after he was invited by a call from the school while on duty, Anakin's all kinds of tolerance the day before made him feel cheated.

The result of rushing to the campus while still wearing a uniform is to win the attention and curiosity of all the teachers and students. When Anakin sat at the door of the principal's office and stared at him waiting for the principal to speak, a few girls even secretly took pictures of him.Obi-Wan swore he heard the phone's shutter click, and the girls whispering and speculating.

Oh, little girl, the group that Obi-Wan struggles with the most and is the best at dealing with.He rubbed his browbones, and when he raised his head again, he put on the gentlest smile, tilted his head slightly, touched his lips with his right index finger, and said softly to the group of girls, "Prestige ladies! , can you give me and Anakin a little personal space?"

For a moment, there was a low exclamation and a gasping sound at the same time, and within a few seconds, there were no groups of people in the visible range, although they must be hiding in an invisible corner and continuing the unstoppable prying of humans.

"I really can't see it," Anakin muttered, "you can still use this trick."

Obi-Wan glared at him, but the young man didn't take it seriously. At this moment, the door of the principal's office was opened, and the female principal, who was nearly fifty years old, invited the senior and junior into the office.

"Hello, Mr. Kenobi," the always oppressive headmistress shook Obi-Wan's hand, "may I ask what is your relationship with the young Skywalker?"

Anakin thought the handshake was taking too long, and he wasn't sure calling the stupid cop was a good idea now.

"Oh, Qui-Gon asked me to take care of Anakin these days before I left the city," Obi-Wan felt a little embarrassed smiling, "Can we sit down and talk?"

"Sorry, please sit down." Finally realizing that her behavior was not in line with her status, the headmistress was also a little embarrassed. "Please come here mainly about Mr. Skywalker hurting a classmate at school."

Obi-Wan nodded. Being invited to the principal's office was nothing more than causing trouble, fighting or cheating. He was mentally prepared.

"They wanted to hurt Padmé," Anakin argued. "They were jealous that they were not as good as Padmé, and these villains wanted to frame her."

"But they were injured by you and sent to the hospital before they had time to implement it," the principal pointed out. "Don't say they haven't made a mistake yet, even if they made a mistake first, it can't be the justice you claim to be—use violence It is an excuse to use violence to control violence. You are not God and have no such right."

Obi-Wan nodded solemnly, "I agree with your point of view."

Just like Qui-Gon!Anakin thought angrily.

"Anakin used the wrong method." He paused. "Three seniors who were two years older than him and who were more than a head taller than him were sent to the hospital. No matter what you did, it was too much."

The principal was at a loss for words for a while, and she suddenly couldn't grasp the point.

"But one thing, in my opinion, his original intention to protect a beautiful woman is not wrong, and there is no meaning of discrimination, but I think that Anakin thinks that he and those three plan to use violence to hurt her. A girl, compared to them, the girl he wants to protect is obviously in a disadvantaged position, and he himself is also in a disadvantaged position in terms of number, size and age. However, he did not back down because of this," Obi-Wan said bluntly Looking into the principal's eyes, "He really shouldn't think of himself as a vigilante. This kind of thinking is very dangerous, but at least it proves that he has a much more sense of justice in his heart than those cowards who want to bully others."

"I'm not saying that he doesn't have a sense of justice..." The principal was a little indescribably depressed. She was obviously the one who was justified. Why was she being unreasonable when the young policeman in front of him made such a righteous statement? ?

"I think it is our common responsibility to correctly guide a child like him who pursues justice how to use the right way to sway his enthusiasm. Blindly condemning the child's negligent behavior and suppressing his sense of justice will only make more and more teenagers dislike This society looks coldly on the sidelines and is disheartened. Point out what should be pointed out, but what should be affirmed must also be affirmed. Anakin will publicly apologize to them for his behavior of hurting people, but the three children must also apologize for themselves Wrong idea of ​​wanting to hurt a girl for that..." He glanced at Anakin.

"Padmé, Padmé Amidala." The boy quickly answered.

"They must also publicly apologize to Miss Amidala."

After leaving the principal's office, Anakin was obviously a little excited. Obi-Wan is simply amazing. Although Qui-Gon would also lean towards his side, he always talked to him in private, and he would always talk to him in private when facing the principal. It's calm.Qui-Gon was of course wise and modest, and Obi-Wan was almost impassioned in his defense today.

"It's a beautiful win." Anakin couldn't hold back and thumped Obi-Wan's waist.

"Anakin," the stern magistrate didn't smile, "it has nothing to do with winning or losing. You did make a mistake. Your behavior was wrong. The principal was right. Those three were beaten by you." Although the injured child is also at fault, but they haven't implemented it yet, your pre-emptive vigilante approach is very problematic."

Anakin who was poured cold water was a little unhappy, the stupid policeman said, "Then you still defended me like that just now."

Obi-Wan pursed his lips unconsciously, "I just think those three guys are too useless, three-on-one can't fight a girl or beat you, a brat, and when you lose, you hold back and even go to sue , since they want to see you make a fool of yourself so much, they should show off their own incompetence anyway." Obi-Wan paused, "But you are still at fault."

"Will you tell Qui-Gon?" Anakin tried to look innocent.

"Don't do this, I will definitely tell him."

"Can't this just be our secret?"

"No."

"Then will you skip the part of seducing our mature and intellectual headmistress?"

"what?"

"And winking at a group of high school girls, I'll tell Qui-Gon that his rivals are everywhere."

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

When Kui Gang returned home on the third night, all the senior and junior rushed to file a complaint first.

The regular customers of Kui Gang Flower Shop have recently found that the owner, who has always been gentle and steady, is in a particularly good mood recently, and the smile he gives everyone is even more heartwarming. It seems that this 45-year-old man has completely recovered from the love that died in a car accident ten years ago Stepped out from the shadow of his wife and began to truly enjoy every day of life.They couldn't help asking the parties whether they had a sweetheart, whether they were already in a romantic relationship, and who was the lucky one?He just smiled and said nothing.

Qui-Gon himself knew that he admired Obi-Wan, maybe a little bit, but that was not love, and it was in no way comparable to his unforgettable love for Dale.Besides, Obi-Wan is so young, there are better people for him, and he deserves better people.

But he can't help wanting to take care of this child, always dedicating his love to others, a young sheriff with a strong sense of responsibility and caring, but he alone doesn't know how to take good care of himself.This is more like a father's love, Qui-Gon glanced at Anakin who was lying on the sofa doing homework, well, it's different.Just like now, I can see him every day, watching him wrinkle his face and rushing all the way to catch the bus to go to work, until he returns to the attic safely every day until the lights go out, this is fine now, why do we have to think about whether this is love Woolen cloth?

But soon, three young women who visited unexpectedly helped him figure out a lot of things.

In the fifth month Obi-Wan came to Naboo, at noon one day, an eye-catching and expensive luxury car stopped in front of the flower shop, and three beauties with different styles alighted from the car, arousing the stop and curiosity of passers-by on the road.

Kui Gang was a little curious. A high-class lady dressed elegantly, a policewoman with a neat figure and a good waist and a gun, and a tough and avant-garde bald lady full of exotic styles, the three of them are How did you come together and become friends?

"Hello, sir," the upper-class lady asked politely, "Do you have any sunflowers?"

"Aha, I thought you would ask for 999 red roses," the exotic woman sarcastically said, "It's just a textbook way of showing love, Little Princess Sha Ting."

"Shut your mouth, Ventress." The policewoman gave Ventress a cold look who interrupted, "Don't forget, fair competition depends on one's own ability, this is what you suggested."

"Oh, I'm so scared, Officer Ciri," Ventress shot back, "If it wasn't for the convenience of taking her car, I wouldn't come here with you, you two are more sour than the corpses in my office. "

"I thought that as the chief forensic doctor, you loved the sour smell of corpses more than anyone else, Ventress." Sha Ting was naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As a result, the three ladies fought all afternoon in Qui-Gon's flower shop, and when he took Anakin home, they were still working tirelessly there, which was simply amazing.

Feeling embarrassed, Prosecutor Sha Ting, whose identity she learned from their conversation, finally bought 999 red roses and put them in the trunk of her car. Of course, there were also sunflowers that she wanted to buy from the beginning.

Qui-Gon thought it was funny and respectable. When the three ladies saw the minor Anakin appearing in the store, they simultaneously chose to shut up and show impeccable smiles. They are all kind-hearted and principled girls, but they have different personalities Different, bright and dazzling.

Then, Obi-Wan came back, and he and his close colleague Quinlan appeared in sight.In an instant, the atmosphere in the flower shop completely changed.

Obi-Wan habitually looked for Qui-Gon Anakin with a big smile when passing the flower shop, but his smile was a little stiff in the next second.The three women in the store beckoned to him at the same time and walked towards him together.

"Shating, Ciri, Ventress, why are you here?" Obi-Wan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Miss us...have you?" Ciri took the lead in expressing his thoughts with a big hug, "Are you a little thinner?"

"This place can't be compared to Coruscant. Look, the baby fat is gone." Ventress waited for Ciri to let go, then reached out and pinched Obi-Wan's cheeks directly, "It's not as cute as before."

"I haven't seen Obi-Wan for a long time," Sha Ting waited for the two of them to finish before making a sound. She did not choose physical touch, but handed the sunflower to Obi-Wan, "Happy birthday."

"Hey, this is a foul." After Obi-Wan took the sunflower, Ciri took out a sterling silver necklace from his arms, "The god of the force, the patron saint of the police, I wanted to give it to you when I graduated , I didn’t know that so many things happened, today I finally got this opportunity for you.”

"I'm not as narrow-minded as they are," Ventress pursed his lips, opened the rear door of Sha Ting's car, took out a nine-inch cake from inside, and opened the lid. On the cake were crooked decorations and weird patterns. Fuchsia cream, "Not poisoned." Reluctantly squeezed out such a summary.

"You..." Obi-Wan was so moved, his eyes turned red unconsciously.

He knew the three girls had always had more than friendship for him, but had driven all the way from Coruscant to see him just for a little birthday he had forgotten.Sha Ting's parents must not agree, as a model good girl, she must have disobeyed them, maybe she just ran out without saying hello; Xi Rui and his childhood sweetheart played together to grow up, when he gave up the recommended university, he also took the exam The police academy; Ventress, maybe she didn't blink when she dissected the corpse, but making cakes, which she despised, would never have been possible before.

"Oh," Quinlan grabbed Obi-Wan's neck, "it's really you," he said with a smile on his face as he stared at Ventress, "I thought you were not a womanizer, but you turned out to be a prudish one. "

"Kunlan, don't talk nonsense, they are all my best friends," quickly explained, "It's okay if you make fun of me, don't ruin their reputation."

"Hey, don't be nervous," the swarthy policeman patted him on the shoulder, "beauties, since it's Obi-Wan's birthday, and you've come all the way from Coruscant, how about not getting drunk tonight?"

"I'm afraid that you will fall first." Dissatisfied with the other party's gaze, Ventress glared at him.

"I'll stay with you till the end." Ciri raised her eyebrows.

"We have a lot to talk about, please lead the way." Sha Ting was naturally not to be outdone.

"Can I go?" Suddenly Anakin appeared out of nowhere, "Obi-Wan...brother, am I not your friend?"

"No, no, Anakin, we're not going to drink," he hurriedly pushed the child back, "They were just talking casually."

"Go if you want," Qui-Gon leaned against the door of the flower shop, "Don't be led by the nose by Anakin, he will make progress."

"Boring." I thought in my heart that I was not here to help you!Anakin turned his head and ran upstairs to his room.

"Ki-Gon, I..."

"Happy birthday Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon smiled. "It's normal for young people to go out and get together. They are all your good friends, aren't they?"

"I'll be back soon." I don't know why I would make such a promise to my neighbors. It's true that he hasn't seen his friends for a long time, and he is really touched by them. Where he lives, he can't invite people in to sit and sit together. It's a good choice to go for a drink.But this promise to Kui Gang to come back soon, no matter how you think about it, it's too strange and... ambiguous...

"Is that kind uncle your neighbor?" Ciri asked on the way to the bar.

"Well, you've always taken good care of me." Obi-Wan couldn't help but see Qui-Gon's smile every day.

"That uncle looks really nice. He takes care of me...we feel more at ease." Sha Ting nodded.

Ventress didn't express her opinion, she didn't hear it at all, she just focused on telling Kunlan not to stare at her and ask all kinds of strange questions.

"Speaking of which, how did you find out where I live?"

"Oh," Ciri explained, "you know that Sith organization, our special operations team has been watching them for a long time, and we have reliable information that their second-in-command Darth Maul recently appeared in Naboo, so I applied to come over to find out the situation. Naturally, I will go to the local police station, and of course I will talk about you, it seems that the people in your police station are very concerned about your life, and they will say everything when they hear a woman claiming to be your confidante." She Added, "This is not good, there are so many security holes."

Obi-Wan's face was full of black lines, and men who were big and thick were no more vague than women when they gossiped.

Qui-Gon didn't fall asleep that night, he waited for the light in the attic opposite to come on, but there was no sign of anyone returning until dawn.

Anakin knew something was wrong when he woke up in the morning. Qui-Gon, who never delayed his breakfast, broke two bowls in a daze and burned the eggs.He shook his head and turned on the TV.

"Kui-Gang... Father! Come quickly!" he screamed.

In the morning news, the second leader of the Sith organization had been arrested in a loop. During the arrest, two off-duty government workers were injured and were being rescued in the hospital.The TV featured Obi-Wan and Ventress lying unconscious on a stretcher and being carried into the ambulance separately.
