[Comprehensive] Chronic child love

×××

……

Night fell gradually.

It seems that it has rained, and the sky looks more gloomy than usual.

Because Hong and Baohao are living at home during this time, and there is no so-called access control, they can accompany Bai Jian to continue searching until the access control of Bai Jian's "part-time job" ends.And after Baijian rushed into the rain recklessly, Hong and Baohao quickly brought her back. Using personality on the street to dry clothes for her——

And the three of them also met An Qiu on the street at dusk.

It was a particularly sudden timing, just when Bai Jian was about to take another look at the part-time place where she and An Qiu worked, he happened to see a familiar figure turning into the alley with unhesitating steps.

It looked very much like An Qiu——Bai Jian said so at the time, and he chased after him tremblingly, finally, he saw the somewhat embarrassed An Qiu.

I haven't returned to Xiongying for three days, her fair face is stained a little now, she has lost weight inexplicably, and the school uniform on her body has become dirty—and maybe it's because of the rain just now , the shirt on her body was obviously not dry yet.

She seemed to have no energy, her slender body was leaning against the wall of the alley, she didn't even know that Bai Jian and the others had come.

It's just that Bai Jian, who she had been looking for for two or three days, didn't have time to care so much. She knew that she had finally seen An Qiu, whom she had been thinking about day and night, and she had to be caught—so she ran over to catch An Qiu. Hugging her in his arms, he nervously called her name: "...An Qiu!"

The girl who was hugged was startled, seeing the girl who suddenly rushed into her arms, her eyes were slightly startled: "Baijian..." She looked at the petite figure, and then raised her eyes to notice the girl who was following her. Hong and Baohao in the back reached out and tapped Baijian's forehead, raised the corners of their mouths, and looked tiredly: "...you really came to find me."

"Of course I have to come to you!" Bai Jian frowned, hugged An Qiu tightly, and stretched out his hand to hold her, as if wishing to take her back immediately: "...we have an appointment Yes! Are you hurt? Let's go back now!"

Hearing Bai Jian's so natural words, An Qiu's heart tightened first, and then he met the eyes of Hong who wrote a page of doubts on the face behind him, and then stayed on Bao Hao's face for a while, then staggered his eyes from him—— Then he spoke softly to Bai Jian: "...Thank you."

And after hearing An Qiu's thank you, Bai Jian's tense emotions finally relaxed. With a hook on her lips, she took An Qiu's hand and walked out of the alley—only when she reached Hong and Baohao, The two of them were not so calm. After all, they had experienced a lot last year, so they were very vigilant about the "sudden disappearance". , you suddenly disappeared and then appeared suddenly, don't you plan to explain anything?"

And Bai Jian stood between An Qiu and the two boys, noticing the tired expression on An Qiu's face, he raised his hand to mediate: "Ah, how about... Xiao Jiao Dong, let's go back to Xiongying first, and then talk about it. I have to tell Teacher No. 13 that An Qiu is back... Otherwise, the police might be mobilized tomorrow to find someone..."

"Baijian, this matter is not so simple. Xiongying also encountered many similar incidents last year, and the school also..." How could Hong not see Baijian's attitude of protecting An Qiu, for fear that she would cover up and let An Qiu general He frowned and began to preach again after the matter was settled.

That's natural, Asakura is just a school girl to Hong, and he doesn't have the same friendship as Bai Jian treated An Qiu, so he sees things much more rationally and clearly than Bai Jian—so he thinks it's his duty to remind Bai Jian It's time.

Especially at the end of the day, after seeing Bai Jian's brute force in looking for An Qiu, he was a little worried that Bai Jian would be involved in some danger because he was too protective of Asakura, a girl full of mysteries.

He believes that even for the sake of Baijian, Asakura must explain his affairs clearly - not just returning to the team as if nothing had happened so that nothing will happen.

Looking at An Qiu, who was tired in posture, and blocked her on the way home, she stood firm.

"...But Xiao Jiaodong, An Qiu is also tired now, isn't he?" But on this matter, Bai Jian held the opposite opinion to Hong—she didn't like Hong's questioning attitude towards An Qiu. Moreover, she really didn't think that explanation was more important than settling An Qiu at this juncture.

"...Baijian, even if it's Zhao Cang, you have to keep calm. She still has to explain what needs to be explained." Hong insisted on his own opinion, and turned his eyes to the tired-looking An Qiu again, knowing it with emotion : "Do you know how much Bai Jian has done to find you? Just like for Bai Jian, you have to explain it clearly to her."

"Little Jiao Dong!" Bai Jian interrupted him, frowning.

"..." Listening to the content of the quarrel between Baijian and Hong, a bastard who is usually prone to getting angry fell into a rare silence. He secretly observed the expression on An Qiu's face with his eyes, but didn't say anything. .

……

"...No, senior Hong is right, I will explain."

And just when Bai Jian and Hong were about to quarrel, An Qiu, who had been standing silently by the side, finally interrupted—she really couldn't bear the sight of the two quarreling over her matter, and what Hong was worried about It was indeed more reasonable. Thinking of this, An Qiu put his hand on Bai Jian's shoulder, calmly reassuring her.

Explanation—after all, as Xiongying's student, she shouldn't cause trouble for others.

She has to explain, but maybe it's because of being exposed to the rain, maybe it's because of being too tired, maybe it's because she hasn't eaten anything in the past two days, when she looks at things now, she sees important things film.

An Qiu frowned slightly, and opened her mouth: "I..." After all, before she could think of a way to hold on, she suddenly closed her eyes and cut forward as if the electricity had been cut off—and she just happened to be standing in front of An Qiu. Baohao on the opposite side quickly caught her falling body, and noticed that her body was unusually hot.

"An Qiu!" Bai Jian moved closer to Bao Hao anxiously, reached out to touch An Qiu's slightly flushed cheeks, and looked at her fainted with worried eyes.

"...Take this guy back first," Baohao said in a deep voice while supporting An Qiu, "So you don't have any objections, do you? Half asshole."

"..." Hong frowned, and turned his face away without speaking.

And Bao Hao didn't delay, he stretched out his hand and pulled An Qiu's limp body onto his back, and carried her on his back with Bai Jian's assistance.

After all, in this twilight, the forbearance on An Qiu's face seemed to be the same as when she slept together in the forest - even, she looked more haggard now than at that time.

He couldn't question her any further.

……

It was already half an hour later that the three of them brought the fainted An Qiu back to Xiongying—it just so happened that tonight would meet the "three days" deadline, and teacher No. Before going out to negotiate with the Metropolitan Police Department, he was about to come back.

The recovery girl hurriedly sent An Qiu to the medical room in the school, and gave An Qiu an infusion treatment for those who hadn't eaten for several days. However, she had a fever due to the rain, and her condition was more serious than normal malnutrition, so she lay on the bed for a whole day. The genius tossed and woke up.

When she fully regained consciousness, it would be five days before the Xia Ji Temple Fair.

"...you're awake!"

Seeing that An Qiu had finally woken up, Bai Jian, who was guarding her bed, threw herself on her body and hugged her tightly: "Well, the recovery girl gave you treatment, and I changed your body for you." Clothes, and then, we handed over your broken mobile phone to the support department for repair, and then, because the teachers found my DNA in the clothes on your body, so... During your coma, your disappearance caused a lot of trouble. There must be a lot of noise, Teacher No. 13 knows you woke up, maybe they will find someone to record a statement for you."

And An Qiu, who was sitting on the bed, listened to Bai Jian's talk so much, and endured the soreness all over her body, and slowly got up from the hospital bed - she calmly took the boiled water from Bai Jian, and her eyes were calm. Looking at Bai Jian: "...It's okay, teacher No. 13 can come anytime."

"Really? If you're not in good health, I'll tell teacher No. 13 to come back later..." Bai Jian looked at An Qiu, who was so thin because of the IV, with a distressed expression, his tone All worries.

And An Qiu looked at Bai Jian who was constantly caring about her at that moment with half-downcast eyes, and the hand holding the glass slowly dropped down and rested on her thigh: "I'm fine." After finishing speaking, And asked Bai Jian to push aside the curtain hanging beside her bed, so that the light from the window could come in.

……

The white daylight at noon penetrated through the huge window of the medical room and spread into the room. An Qiu looked at the clear sky outside the window with a pair of black eyes, then pursed his lips and glanced back, and then looked at the faint light in the medical room. The door is open.

"...An Qiu?" Bai Jian felt strange, and followed An Qiu's gaze, thinking that An Qiu was going to let her close the door, and was about to get up, but was interrupted by An Qiu again: "Xingshu... ...and the senior Bakugo who is hiding over there, have you heard of the special personality control juvenile department?"

Bai Jian's movements froze, and he noticed that on the other side of the door, a boy with off-white durian hair walked in calmly - his calm orange eyes stared at An An who was sitting on the hospital bed. Qiu, silently closed the door with his backhand.

"...I was still thinking about whether you were dead enough to still have the strength to discover my existence."

"After all, I feel that only seniors are so idle." An Qiu's eyes were calm, but with a hint of a smile.

"Believe it or not, I blow you up right here?" Bakugo frowned, looked at the girl who started to get angry after waking up, and then clicked his mouth and placed the fruit he brought heavily on the side of her bed: "What nonsense are you going to say... if you have something to say, say it quickly."

And Baijian watched An Qiu and Baohao going back and forth, blinked his eyes and made a seat for Baohao: "Senior Baohao."

Bao Hao didn't hesitate, just sat on the chair with a back beside An Qiu's hospital bed, and put his two slender legs on the bed cabinet, a whole uncle's style.

"..." Bai Jian squinted his eyes, thinking that this senior could be regarded as a special creature of Xiongying.

"...Haven't the two of you heard of it?"

An Qiu was not impressed by Bao Hao's familiar behavior, so he spoke calmly.

Baijian shook his head obediently and attentively, while Baohao remained silent.

An Qiu's expression was not surprising, so she only paused for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "Then let's start with what happened a long time ago..."

"Since the 'glowing babies' mutation started decades ago, almost all people born today are accompanied by superpowers, first some optimization of physical functions, then personalities that can manipulate the surrounding environment, and then, with the second The third generation reproduces the offspring, and the personality is complicated, and now even the personality of a four- or five-year-old child has amazing strength. Have you noticed this?"

When Baohao heard what An Qiu said, the scene of himself and Hong taking the temporary hero license exam last year appeared in his mind-in that venue, they were forced to get along with a group of kindergarten children, and their newly discovered personalities , There are indeed many forces above them.

At that time, he also had a feeling of uneasiness - if in the future, every human being can have complex and powerful superpowers, what will happen to the world?

What if the group of children who can use complex personalities grow up in the future, start a family, and give birth to offspring with stronger people, just like a frozen family, what will the world be like?

How the world will become, Bakugo can't imagine.

But what does this have to do with what An Qiu originally said about the "Special Personality Control Juvenile Section"?

"...What the hell do you want to say? Don't be damned in circles, finish it in one breath." Baohao frowned, but An Qiu suddenly brought the topic to his heart, causing him to frown solemnly brow.

"I just want to say that in today's society... what kind of personality you want to develop is very common. It's hard to guarantee that a baby will be born tomorrow who can wipe people out just by breathing. Who can say for sure?" An Qiu hooked her lips: "...So have you ever thought about why society can barely maintain the status quo in harmony?"

An Qiu gently put the water glass on the table, and looked at the fruit brought by Baohao with a pair of black eyes calmly: "There are all kinds of personalities in this world, and some people's personalities can be used for rescue, To keep the peace... Are there any personalities that make them destined to become villains, or unable to adapt to society? And why haven't you seen people with dangerous personalities?"

Bai Jian was startled, then pursed his lower lip and remained silent—the question An Qiu asked was indeed a blind spot worth thinking about.Since the development of personality is changing with each passing day, why do they subconsciously think that the personality developed by people must be safe?

Could it be that some people's "possibility" is super dangerous from the start?

"That's because...those judged as 'dangerous' were arrested the moment their personalities were discovered—the Special Personality Control Juvenile Section exists like this." An Qiu spoke softly, and set off again. He opened the quilt and got off the bed: "But it's normal if you haven't heard of it, because the government won't make such a dangerous existence public."

"After all, the children who are locked inside are still ignorant children--the sight of the eye will stop the heart, and the conversation will make the person suffocate. The personality that exudes the poisonous gas of death makes those people doomed. They are unable to live in society and among people, so they have no choice but to be detained by the government and spend their lives in facilities."

"An Qiu, you're telling us this now because..." Bai Jian looked at An Qiu's lonely back, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

On the contrary, An Qiu stepped on the floor of the medical room with bare feet, and a trace of coolness rushed into her heart through the floor, but she was unmoved, letting the curled eyelashes cast light on her pale face. A circle of haze: "...Yes, I am the one who went in."

She spoke lightly, but Bakugo and Shirama unconsciously held their breath.

The atmosphere was tense, and the two looked at An Qiu, unable to continue their conversation for a long time.

……

"I was locked in because of an accident, and I was released for some reasons."

But ignoring the surprise of the two, An Qiu just persistently finished speaking to them—after all, this was what she had decided before she fainted: "So, I never came to Xiongying to study to become a hero. It's just that the government sent me here so I could learn to control my personality, which is so dangerous it could kill people so easily."

An Qiu walked a few steps barefoot beside the bed, then turned around, raised both hands to Bao Hao and Bai Jian who were stunned by the sound, and then released some black particles from the palms of their hands.

Those black turbid particles shocked Baijian's face, and he inevitably remembered the incident that happened during the camp in the forest.

"Xingshu, senior, you should recognize these things, right? My personality can summon monsters."

An Qiu let those black particles float in the air for a while, then frowned and took them back instantly: "Then, on the day when my personality awakened, I didn't know how to control my personality...so I accidentally killed own parents."

Hearing "killing relatives", Baohao, who has a happy family, was also involuntarily stunned. In order to keep up with An Qiu's train of thought, Baohao naturally fantasized about killing his parents with his own hands, or their parents died. The scene—it was like a nightmare.

In the past, he didn't even know that An Qiu's parents were no longer alive, so he just scolded her for her twisted personality and not thinking about making progress-but in fact, how much did An Qiu go through in the past, how would he know?

How did she feel back then?How is she feeling now?

Looking at An Qiu's eyes that were as still as still water, Bao Hao's heart was turned upside down - he felt that her things and moods were beyond his comprehension.And the more he couldn't see through her thoughts, the more anxious Bakugo became-he hoped that he could read all her emotions at this moment, but he couldn't get started.

What a damn woman.

Because he was dissatisfied with the many secrets she hid, Bakugo cursed her in his heart—but he didn't realize that he added a bit of pity to this vicious "woman" that he didn't realize .

……

"...So, the enemy alliance may have taken a fancy to my dark past and personality, and hoped to draw me into their membership."

And when Baohao was thinking about various things in her heart, An Qiu explained in a calm tone. In order to organize her thoughts clearly, she deliberately spoke slowly and softly. Before she knew it, her head drooped Going on—just to be able to sort out what happened to her, to strike a balance between what she wanted to say and what they needed to know during the day.

After explaining the words, An Qiu slowly raised her head again—unexpectedly, the person who was looking at her was Bai Jian with red eyes—her heart tightened, and she patted Bai Jian's face with a smile again. Head: "...Why didn't I cry, but you did?"

But Bai Jian pursed his lips and sniffed his nose again: "I was just thinking, An Qiu, do you really want to stay here? Is it what you hoped for me to bring you back..."

Bai Jian stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Could it be that I did something bad to you?" After all, An Qiu was supposed to...not want to be Xiongying's student, right?For her, would freedom be what she longed for instead?

Then she insisted on dragging her back regardless of An Qiu's will, didn't she do something that made An Qiu sad?

It's because she is too superficial, thinking that the world is full of people who aspire to be heroes——

But as An Qiu said, there are also people who just long for "ordinary".

Will she put extra responsibility and identity on An Qiu?Just thinking about it like this, Bai Jian couldn't restrain his tears, and finally cried out in front of An Qiu.

"Idiot." An Qiu slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and hugged the white-haired girl into his arms again: "...you know, if I want to disappear, no one can stop me."

"It wasn't you who caught me." An Qiu hugged the girl who kept her warm: "It's because I was willing to be found by you—you know, when I saw you coming to me, I was very... happy."

She thought about it, and raised the corners of her mouth again.

Yes, she was very happy at that time.

The word Mingming is happy, she thought that she had no chance with herself.

But it was the clumsy girl in front of her who taught her how to use this word.

...and Baohao sat one meter away from the girls. He looked at the rare tranquility and gentleness on An Qiu's face, and her slender figure that almost merged with the sun, and he was dazed again, unable to move for a long time. speech.

From now on, after hearing this secret, can he also become an existence that this guy relies on like Bai Maotou?

——Pay attention, such thoughts have already appeared in Bakugou's mind.

——I hope that I can guard the "happiness" in this population without hesitation like Shirama did.

Can he do it?
