Greedy.

Chapter 5 Fighting the Fire

It was a very comfortable sleep.

So comfortable that you want to do it all over again the next day.

But for some reason, you can't fall asleep this time no matter what.You turned around countless times, and finally turned your head slightly uncontrollably, looking at Qiao Qing furtively.

Maybe it's not the result of the insomnia, but the cause of it.

Qiao lightly woke up and didn't get up.You watched him make a Y above his eyes, as if he just caught the white sun.He looked at it with great interest, although he could only squint because of the glare of the light.

He seems very at ease.You are obviously jealous of his happiness, but you can't help but smile a little.

Very faint, like the first flower swaying in the wind in early spring.

You look back and stare straight up like him.

It suddenly occurred to you that we were looking at the same sky.

It's trivial, but it brings a strange feeling in you that makes you want to laugh and sigh.

We look at the same sky.

You shift your gaze, staring at the silent sun together with Qiao Qing.You tried your best to open your eyes wide, and slowly the sun seemed to shake and swell as if it had been soaked.It is getting brighter and brighter, as if being drawn closer and closer, it is very beautiful.You want to look more often, but you can't stand it.You close your eyes.

You wipe away the oozing tears, your eyes hurt, but you feel good.

I don’t know if tears also have inertia, anyway, the tears keep overflowing, dripping down your face into the mud, and the mud turns black.

You don't erase it in the end, just let it fall freely.By the way, you find that your mood is really unstable recently.Just now I thought it was a good deal, but now I feel a little sad.

You don't bother to explore why, if you really find out a three-two-one, maybe it will be even more sad.You rudely attribute this to a side effect of tears.

When I open my eyes again, the world is blurry.You wilted down along with the sudden loss of eyesight.

I just played with my paranoid willfulness just now, and I tasted the unexpected bitter fruit later.

From the current distance, you can't see Qiao Qing clearly.

You are like a meticulous and over-the-top breeder, looking hard at the hamster every day, and writing an observation diary for the baby hamster in your heart stroke by stroke.

Although all the baby hamsters are having fun, the baby hamster smiles very cutely, and the baby hamster sleeps very lazily, but you watch it with gusto and remember everything.

As a result, someone suddenly took the cage away, and the hamster was forced to leave your sight.

You are upset and wronged.

Your eyesight is not fully restored until your tears are dry.

You waited dispiritedly, but unexpectedly, the baby hamster broke free from the cage and ran back to you.

Joe walked over lightly.

Seeing your expression, he was stunned for a moment, then changed what he was going to say, and squatted down.

You didn't say yes or no, you sat up and looked at him warily with sore eyes.

The breeder, who only dared to observe outside the cage because he was afraid of being bitten again by the hamster, was at a loss.

You know it's going to bite you again, and it will.

But he came towards you.

There is no way you can just walk away indifferently.

"You look aggrieved." Qiao Qing looked directly into your eyes, as if coaxing a child, "Let me fold a grass for you."

You can look at him with eyeballs and don't speak.

Old God Qiao Qing waited on the ground for a while, then suddenly got up.You watched him go away, an indescribable disappointment choked in your throat.

But before you could swallow the loss, he came back again.

Holding a few stalks of dogtail grass in his hand.

Qiao sat down lightly, folded a strange-shaped rabbit out of dogtail grass, and handed it to you.

You said, "I want a dragon."

"Are you here to mess things up?" Qiao whispered with a smile, still in the tone of coaxing children, "Let me try."

He took a few pieces of grass and studied for a long time, folded and disassembled, constantly adjusted some details, and concentrated on trying to make a dragon.

He is fiddling with the dogtail grass intently, and you are watching him intently.Look at his drooping eyelids, pursed lips, the curvature of his jaw and the hem of his overcoat shaken by the wind.

You didn't feel enough when Qiao Qing stopped.

He cleared his cough and said with the final result, "I tried my best, you... make it up?"

You looked down and found that Qiao Qing finally folded a large rabbit.Because I have been raped too many times, I am still flattened.

This ugly rabbit does seem to have the power of a dragon, and it can easily make your heart collapse and collapse thousands of miles away.

You took over this misnamed dragon, and saw that you changed direction in an instant, and you just wanted to paint the ground as a prison, and you will not stop until you walk this rugged mountain.

Like a gambler pushing his last chips onto the table, knowing clearly: "I'm miserable."

While laughing indifferently: "What does that matter?"

The stakes are mouth watering after all.

You played with the rabbit in one hand, looked at the dragon in the other, and finally said, "Teach me."

Qiao Qing didn't respond: "What?"

"Fold the grass——Fold the evil dragon."

"Forget about being a dragon, I really don't know how to do it." He thought for a while, "How about teaching you how to fold a rabbit?"

You are extremely firm: "No. I just want to learn from the evil dragon."

"Do you have any special feelings for fairy tales?" Qiao Qing smiled helplessly, "Evil dragons are evil dragons. I can only do this at my highest level, can I do it?"

You nod.

Qiao easily pulled out a few more stalks of dogtail grass, demonstrating step by step in slow motion.

You are clumsy since you were young, and you can't even stack airplanes, let alone these.It seems that he wrapped around the grass lightly and deftly, but you measure his position little by little, and the tightness of the loop. Although you can't be wrong at all, it is still stiff.

The dragon you folded out in the end doesn't even look like a rabbit. It has one long leg and one short leg, which is a bit deformed.

Qiao took it over and studied it lightly, and said, "Mind if I take it apart?"

You shake your head.

So he began to carefully dismantle it in reverse order, taking a look at it step by step. Halfway through the dismantling, he put the grass in his hand aside, and picked up the remaining few plants.

"You fold first, I'll watch."

You stopped after a few steps.You whispered, "I forgot."

Qiao picked up materials on the spot and pulled out a few more grasses, and quickly completed the first few steps.You stare intently, only to realize how slow he was just to impress you.

You start to fold back under the fool's teaching.After folding more than half, Qiao lightly called to stop.

He said: "You didn't do well here just now, which made things weird later on."

You watched him demonstrate with extra concentration, and experimented with extra caution.Qiao Qing looked at it without speaking, and just demonstrated it again silently.

For some reason, you feel that your folding method has changed a lot, but the folded one is exactly the same as just now.

Qiao Qing was helpless.He stretched out his hand, and you were about to hand him the grass in your hand, when he took your hand.

He takes you through this step slowly.

"understand?"

"understood."

At the same time you think, his hands are warm, a little warmer than mine.

The second result is a qualified rabbit.

You are very happy about it.

You stroke the dragon and think, "This may be the only thing he can give me."

If one day, Qiao Qing also disappears, this is probably the only trace that can prove his existence.

You don't want to and can't forget these steps, and that's the only proof someone has ever been patient.

"The teaching is over," Qiao Qing asked curiously, "Can you tell me why I am obsessed with the evil dragon? After all, my version of the evil dragon is neither cool nor glamorous."

You hesitated, and finally told the truth.

Because I'm also waiting for a prince to set me free.
