Heart in a Jade Pot
Chapter 2
Back to the present. Facing Kenya Ueshima, the "King of the Children" in class, Bing Qing would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. She was so nervous that she wanted to explode on the spot, but … if she ran away, she would become the laughing stock of the class. She had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, she knew his "personality" very well, and he … Well, Bing Qing didn't have a "personality" at the moment, so Ueshima didn't take her seriously at all.
Little did he know that Bing Qing's physical fitness was not bad, and she was currently learning karate. In order to make up for her lack of physical fitness, she worked extra hard on the basic physical training. Even the boys who were studying with her felt inferior, and the teacher also praised her for her diligence.
However, the difference in physical fitness between men and women was still very big, and it wasn't easy to make up for it. At the same time, he had a "personality" that she didn't have.
Bing Qing took a few steps back, creating a relatively safe distance for herself. Ueshima saw her move and sneered with disdain. He stretched out his right arm, and his fist went straight for Bing Qing.
Bing Qing subconsciously jumped back, and Ueshima's fist stopped less than ten centimeters away from the tip of her nose.
In his heart, he exclaimed how lucky he was. Fortunately, his "personality" had a limited range, and he was lucky enough to be outside this range.
Bing Qing rushed towards the boy at lightning speed. She knew the weakness of his "personality", and he couldn't retract his hand so quickly for a second attack. Although she didn't know why he didn't use his left hand to hit her, now wasn't the time to think about it. She had to seize the opportunity, and she wouldn't be so lucky next time.
Ueshima wanted to retract his arm, but he didn't have the strength. He had always known the fatal weakness of his "personality". Other than the fact that he couldn't retract his arm quickly, there was also the fact that his body's extension was limited. Even if he wanted to attack with his left hand, he couldn't do it. He had always wanted to kill with one hit, so he didn't put much effort into it.
Ueshima didn't think that this little girl would be able to dodge. He knew that things weren't going well. Bing Qing's running speed was beyond his imagination. He really didn't think that this weakling could run so fast.
In the blink of an eye, Bing Qing had already rushed to his side. She swept her leg and knocked him to the ground. Then, Bing Qing grabbed Ueshima's neck, raised her clenched fist high, and smashed it fiercely at his face.
Ueshima was completely stunned at this time. Bing Qing's movements were smooth, and she didn't give him any chance to react before she pressed him to the ground.
Just when he thought that the fist would hit his face and closed his eyes, he didn't feel the pain he expected. Shima opened his eyes in disbelief and saw that Bing Qing's fist stopped beside his face and lightly touched his cheek.
Seeing the other party's dumbstruck reaction, Bing Qing stood up in a good mood. She tidied up her dress and turned to leave.
Little Fatty and Miyuki, who were watching the battle from the side, were also as shocked as Takajima. Both of their mouths were so wide open that an egg could be stuffed inside …
Ueshima raised his hand and touched his cheek. He was confused. Why didn't Bing Qing attack him when she had such a good opportunity? Instead, she just gave him a symbolic hit. No, it couldn't even be called a hit. He was now angry from embarrassment. Not only was he pressed to the ground by this little brat, but she also showed mercy. It was a great humiliation!
Ueshima jumped up from the ground and rushed to Bing Qing. He grabbed her collar and shouted, "What do you mean by this?
Why didn't you attack me just now? "His voice was so loud that Bing Qing felt her eardrums tremble.
She frowned slightly. The strength that he used to grab her collar was not small. Her poor collar had been wrinkled by him. Bing Qing squeezed the boy's wrist hard. She felt that her nails were almost embedded in his flesh. However, Ueshima didn't seem to feel any pain at all and refused to let go. Bing Qing could only sigh and say softly:
"Not everyone is like you who only knows how to hit people. Don't you think it's a pity that you used such a good 'personality' on this kind of thing?"
When Ueshima heard Bing Qing's words, he unconsciously let go of his hand and took a step back. He felt a bang in his head, as if his nerves were broken. He opened his mouth but found that he couldn't say anything. There was a burning sensation on his face. He stood there and didn't even know what to do.
Bing Qing lowered her head and tidied up her innocent collar. Then she said to him, "I know that you are very strong, but you used this strength to hurt the people around you. The students in the class are afraid of you and hate you. Is this what you want?
There is no right or wrong 'personality'. The key is how you use it. You are simply wasting your talent. I really feel sorry for you. Actually … I envy people like you who have 'personality'. Unlike me … "Bing Qing's expression was gloomy. She turned her head to the side and didn't look at him anymore.
Ueshima was completely speechless. Bing Qing's every word was deeply embedded in his heart.
His parents were workaholics. After he was born, he was thrown to his elderly grandmother. His grandmother spoiled him very much. Usually, she was arrogant and willful, which resulted in his terrible personality of doing whatever he wanted to do.
He was used to getting whatever he wanted just by asking. His grandmother would also satisfy any request he had. Later on, when he went to kindergarten, as long as there was someone who didn't like him, he would use violent means to punish them. After a long time, no one dared to disobey him or get close to him … except for the little fatty. However, the fatty was only willing to get close to him because he felt that he was very powerful.
Now, Bing Qing's words made him a little absent-minded. It was the first time someone praised his' personality 'and told him that it was wrong to do so. Other people would only try their best to avoid him. No one had ever dared to stand up and say something like that to him. For a five-year-old kid, Bing Qing's words today meant a lot to him. At that moment, he almost forgot why he asked Bing Qing to come to the open space.
Ueshima's reaction was beyond Bing Qing's expectations. She thought that he would jump up and punch and kick her. In that case, she couldn't care less. She could only run away.
After saying so much, she had nothing to complain about if she was beaten up in the end. After all, he wasn't someone who was easy to deal with.
Bing Qing wanted to take advantage of Ueshima's stunned state to leave quickly. At that moment …
"Ye Bingqing!"
He shouted as if he had made a big decision. Bing Qing, who was about to run away, was shocked.
"Uh … Is there anything else …?
I'm going to be scolded by mom if I don't go home … "Bing Qing said weakly.
"I … Today … You …" Ueshima was like a little girl. He didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"What do you want to say? Boys shouldn't stutter when they speak. It's so ugly."
Bing Qing was in a hurry to go home. She really didn't have time to waste with him. Her tone revealed a hint of impatience.
If it was the usual Ueshima, he would have greeted her with a punch. However, he thought of what Bing Qing said just now and put down his raised hand.
After taking a deep breath, he said in a very sincere tone.
"Today's matter is my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. I shouldn't have said bad things about your mom. I'm sorry!" After saying that, he bowed very formally.
Bing Qing was shocked. She thought that she was hallucinating. She said in surprise, "Eh eh eh?
What's going on? What's wrong with you? "
"It's nothing!
Anyway, I won't laugh at you for having no personality in the future! "Ueshima said very seriously. He didn't look like the bad boy he usually was.
When Bing Qing heard the word "no personality", she only felt a "click" sound in her heart. It really poked her sore spot. However, in the face of his sincere apology, she couldn't say anything more. She shook her head helplessly and said, "… Although I'm very happy that you said so … I'm really not 'no personality'!
My mom told me that when she was young, her 'personality' awakened later than others. So … That's … Well, in short, I accept your apology. "
"Ye Bingqing, you are really a good person."
Ueshima now returned to his usual annoying appearance. The seriousness and sincerity just now seemed to be just an illusion of Bing Qing.
"I'm more used to you being like this."
Bing Qing showed him an incomparably bright smile. Ueshima was a little confused. He was reflecting on himself. Was he really that fierce usually?
So much so that it was difficult for others to adapt to him.
"Hmph!"
In order to hide his embarrassment, Ueshima could only turn around. He just wanted to leave this place that made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Wait." Bing Qing called out to him.
Ueshima turned around and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Bing Qing touched her nose embarrassedly and said, "I still don't know your name …"
"What?!
Ye Bingqing!
We've been in the same class for so long, but you don't even know my name?! "He felt that it was inconceivable. He was also considered a celebrity, but in the end, she didn't even know his name.
"I won't deliberately waste my brain capacity to remember the names of insignificant people." Bing Qing said honestly.
"Ye Bingqing, has anyone ever told you that you're asking for a beating?" Ueshima gritted his teeth and said. He really wanted to beat Bing Qing up to vent his anger.
Bing Qing felt a little uncomfortable when he called her by her full name again and again. She frowned and said, "No, and can you not say my full name every time you say a sentence … It reminds me of my mother calling me that when she's angry … You can just call me Bing Qing, and … Your name is …?"
"Tch!
Kenya Ueshima!
You better remember it, Ye … "Ueshima thought of Bing Qing's reminder and couldn't help but pause for a moment. Then, he said extremely awkwardly," Bing Qing. "
"Mhmm, I'll remember it. Then I'll call you Kenya from now on." Bing Qing obediently nodded to show that she remembered his name.
"Up to you …" Ueshima unnaturally turned his head to the side.
.....
Bing Qing went back to the classroom and picked up her bag. After saying goodbye to Miyuki, she ran home as fast as lightning. Although her mother was usually as gentle as water, when she was angry, she was quite … Bing Qing shuddered just thinking about it. She shrunk her neck and ran forward in big strides. Her home was only a block away from the kindergarten. In addition, the security in the neighborhood was very good, so her parents didn't worry about her going to school by herself.
Here, I have to introduce Ye Bingqing's family situation. Her father, Ye Hnan, was a famous musician from China. When he was studying in Japan, he met Bing Qing's mother, Ayano Shimizu (who changed her surname to Ayano Ye after marriage). The couple now lived in Japan.
Speaking of her mother, Ayano Shimizu, there was no one in Japan who didn't know her. However, these were all things in the past.
Before Ayano Shimizu Shimizu got married, she was a well-known professional hero. She already had some fame when she was still a student. When she was 18 years old, she set up her own office. In her early twenties, she was ranked No.3 on the Hero Bulletin Board in Japan. She was known as "Goddess of the Ocean", "Thetis."
Together with the superhero "Ormet" and the flaming hero "Andwar", they were known as the three giants of the Golden Age of Heroes. However, Thetis chose to get married and have children at a young age. After marriage, she immediately retired from the world. Now, she was an ordinary housewife. If there was something special about her, Ayano Shimizu was just a little younger and prettier than the average mother.
Ayano made full use of her "personality" and the ability to control water, filling her cells with water. Even though she was in her early thirties, she still looked as beautiful as a sixteen year old girl. Her skin was soft and delicate, and she maintained her figure very well. It was impossible to tell that she had given birth before.
He remembered that Thetis's sudden announcement that she was going to get married and retire had caused an uproar in Japan. After all, she was the most popular heroine at that time.
The commoners wailed, but she had thought things through. Professional heroes looked glamorous on the surface, but under this facade, there was a heavy pressure that ordinary people could not imagine.
Ayano knew that she couldn't have her cake and eat it too. She had always been fearless. She was an orphan, and even if she died in a mission, it would be a heroic curtain call.
But later, she met Ye Hnan, the man who became her husband. After that, they had the crystallization of their love. Ayano had to make a choice between being a wife and being a professional hero. She chose her own small family.
Now that they had been married for many years, their relationship was still very good. Their only daughter, Ye Bingqing, was five years old this year. Most children of the same age had their "personalities" awakened at this time, but her daughter still showed no signs of awakening.
After thinking about it for a long time, Rino finally came to the conclusion that since her "personality" awakened later than her peers, her daughter's "personality" awakening was destined to be slower than other children. Therefore, she did not take this matter to heart.
But it was different for her daughter. Bing Qing saw that many of the children in the kindergarten had their "personalities" awakened. She could not help but feel envious and unwilling. Her mother was clearly a super hero back in the day. Although her father was not a professional hero, his "personality" belonged to the electric type, which had excellent attack power. It was just that he did not want to be a hero. Instead, he chose to be an ordinary person.
Bing Qing's heart was broken. Countless times, she suspected that her genes had mutated because of her parents' strong combination, and that was why she had become a legendary "person with no personality."
But when she went to the hospital, they did not find anything wrong with her. The doctor only said that the "personality" awakening time varied from person to person. Most people awakened around the age of four, but there were also many people who would awaken earlier or later.
Her parents also comforted her, saying that since they did not find out that she had a "person with no personality," as long as Bing Qing was patient, she might awaken naturally after some time. They told her not to be anxious. Even if she really did have no personality, she should not give up on herself. She should not forget her original intention of becoming a professional hero. She should live by the principle of helping others.
Later, Bing Qing tried her best to not be obsessed with the awakening of her "personality". She tried to live every day with a normal heart. But when she saw that the children around her were showing their special characteristics one by one, she still felt a little unbalanced.
But she still lived her life as usual. Before she knew it, Bing Qing's fifth birthday was approaching. Ayano watched as her daughter grew older, and the uneasiness about her "personality" grew stronger day by day.
But because she was a sensible child, she would not show this disappointment and unwillingness on her face. She would only show it inadvertently.
Ayano knew that comforting words would not help. When she was young, she also went through Bing Qing's phase. When she saw that the children in the orphanage had awakened their "personalities," Ayano once thought that she was a person with no personality. Fortunately, after she went to primary school, she finally awakened her "personality." All the grievances and uneasiness from before disappeared in an instant.
