Beautiful And Powerful But Fragile
Chapter 13
Diamond held two lunchboxes and waited for a long time at the entrance of the school staff passage, but he didn't see Explode in the crowd.
"Hey, good afternoon.
Diamond, are you looking for someone? "
"It's so hot today, why don't you wait with us in the cafeteria?"
Students from Class A who had good relationships with him would send such greetings and invitations as they passed by.
Diamond responded with a smile and politely declined all of them.
"Oh, by the way, Li Ri, this is a victory lunchbox for you!
I promised to cheer for you before, I cheered from the audience for the obstacle course and the horse riding battle. "
When he said goodbye to Li Ri, he suddenly remembered his purpose and handed a lunchbox to her. After the girl took it, he rubbed her hair and encouraged her, "Do well in the competition in the afternoon!
Good luck! "
"Oh!
What a super surprise!
I feel like I'm full of blood again … No, my strength has skyrocketed.
Thank you so much, Diamond, I'll definitely work hard! "
Li Ri made a victory gesture to Diamond with her fist. Hearing the call of her companions in the distance, she smiled apologetically and followed them.
"Hey, did Diamond make a lunchbox?
I'm curious … "
“!!!
You're so lucky, Li Ri -chan. "
"Hahaha, let's share it together. I'm also surprised that Diamond would make a lunchbox for me."
The discussion of the girls slowly dissipated in the air, and the crowd became smaller and smaller. When the surroundings were completely quiet, Diamond still didn't see Explode.
Recalling the boy's angry appearance on the big screen, he felt that he shouldn't have left yet.
"Maybe I should go in and look for him."
In the empty corridor, the sound of the soles of shoes hitting the ground was particularly clear.
"Iida …"
"Worry …"
"Inventive …"
After walking around and not finding the target, Diamond, who was about to leave, unexpectedly saw a familiar name hanging on the door in front of him. It was Dehisa's lounge.
He guessed that the students who passed the horse-riding battle in the morning should have their own private lounge, which meant that Explode was probably inside.
So he went back to search again. Every time he walked past a door, he would stop and carefully identify the nameplate.
"Boom …"
"Explode … Ah, found it!"
"Dong, dong, dong." Diamond knocked on the door three times. He did not get a response, but he did not give up. His intuition told him that Explode must still be here. After a while, he knocked three more times.
There was still no movement.
He even wanted to push open the door and barge in, but the image of Explode's furrowed eyebrows kept appearing in his mind. Even though he often angered Explode and even got beaten up by Explode, Diamond had never seen Explode so angry today. Even he started to feel unhappy.
His hand on the doorknob finally dropped.
Diamond hugged the leftover lunchbox and squatted down against the wall. His arms rested on his knees and wrapped around half of his head. He thought that maybe he was overthinking things. In fact, Explode had already gone to the cafeteria when he wasn't paying attention.
After all, the competition in the morning was so intense. Katsuji Jun should be hungry.
With this thought, Diamond suddenly became optimistic again. It was just a pity that he couldn't give his first lunchbox to the person he wanted to give it to.
"Bang!"
The sudden sound of the door opening startled Diamond. He turned his head and saw Explode looking down at him. His raised eyebrows were expressionless, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
"Katsuji Jun …" For a moment, he forgot what he wanted to say. Diamond maintained his awkward squatting position and looked up at the other party. His mouth opened and closed, but he could not form a complete sentence.
Dim light spilled from the vent and wrapped around Explode's body like a layer of cold, resistant film.
The young man snorted unhappily as a response.
His cold attitude did not make the gemstone man back down.
Instead, Diamond seemed to be encouraged. The hesitation in his eyes disappeared and he said aloud, "Katsuji Jun was so cool in the morning!"
As he spoke, he jumped up and held the other party's hand. His fingertips slipped through the gap, careful not to touch the other party.
"I made Katsuji Jun a lunchbox. Do you want to try it?"
The lounge provided by the school was neither too big nor too small. It was more than enough to fit the two of them.
Diamond walked around curiously but did not find anything new. He returned to Explode's side and sat down.
When he pulled out the chair, the ear-piercing screeching sound made Bao Hao glance at him.
Diamond raised his hands awkwardly, thinking that he would be scolded again. However, Explode looked away and continued to stare at the table silently.
The lunchbox on the table was opened, but the lid was not moved.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Diamond rested his head on his hands and looked at Explode carefully. Blonde hair, red eyes. His appearance was the same as before.
He did not understand why Explode, who did not lose or change any body parts, would have such an abnormal attitude. He just thought that if he did not eat to replenish his energy, he would be tired in the afternoon.
Before Diamond could figure it out, Explode, who had been playing the role of a wooden man, moved.
He picked up his chopsticks and poked at the lunchbox a few times. He commented in a disgusted tone, "Your standards are much worse than mine when I was in elementary school."
At first glance, it was colorful and beautiful. After removing the fruit used for decoration, there was a thick layer of fruit slices … Oh, there were a few pieces of chocolate in the middle.
Although that was what Explode said, he was not slow in destroying the lunchbox.
He did not add any strange condiments for further processing. The taste of the ingredients was passable. If it was just to fill his stomach and replenish his energy, it was barely acceptable.
However —
"Fruit can't be a staple. Remember to add rice to your lunchbox next time, you idiot!"
"Katsuji Jun, you don't like it?
It looks good. "Diamond tilted his head with an innocent look.
"…" Explode, who almost choked, laughed. "Who told you that a lunchbox is good?
Are you retarded? "As he spoke, he realized that the other party was indeed a freak with no common sense. He was speechless and glared at him.
"Tsk, you're so troublesome. When the sports festival is over, I'll show you what a lunchbox is."
After understanding that Explode wanted to return the favor, Diamond smiled and reached out his hand to stroke his fluffy hair. Then he quickly retracted his starry eyes and cupped his face.
"Katsuji Jun is the best!" Sure enough, it felt good to stroke his head.
"… Flattery is useless. You should just go and die!"
When they returned to the auditorium, the stadium was already packed.
The scorching sun hung above their heads like a huge furnace.
In the open-air stadium with no shelter, no one complained about the scorching weather. Instead, it was as if they were lit up by a furnace, passionately discussing the exciting performances of the contestants.
Diamond carefully walked through the narrow walkway that was crowded with excited people. When he arrived at his destination, he found that the originally empty seats around him were scattered with items. Most of them were school bags or jackets.
Students who did not have a match in the afternoon could watch together.
There was also a bag in his original seat. He randomly found an empty seat and sat down.
The competition had not officially started yet. There was an entertainment competition in the middle of the stadium to let everyone relax.
After looking around carefully, Explode did not participate. It seemed that they had gone to rest after knowing their opponent.
Even if they watched, they would not be excited by the excitement of the competition.
Even if they cheered, it was only because they promised Li Ri and liked Explode.
He was like an outsider.
