Chapter 22

July in the UK has begun to turn cold, and it is necessary to put on an extra coat at night.Fu Jiang sat beside Riddle, and accompanied the boy to sit on the ground leaning on the edge of the bed, watching him concentrate on carving by hand.

The boy's fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints and clean and round nails.He is holding the wood carving in one hand and clenching the carving knife in the other.Perfect notches are carved on the mahogany during the flip.What was carved was an owl.Each of its feathers is lifelike, and its round eyes are extremely airy.

See, Tom can do everything perfectly if he wants to.Even woodcarving, which he has almost never tried, is just a simple and easy thing for him.

Tomie yawned: she wasn't sure if she should remind Tom to go back to his room.

But Tom cut her off.

"Do you like it?" Tom asked, sending the mahogany in front of Fu Jiang.The owl, which was even carved out of mahogany wood grain as a decoration, looked so lifelike and beautiful that Fu Jiang couldn't help but reach out to take it.

She nodded in praise: "It's incredible, Tom~" She laughed: "How did you think of engraving an owl? Have you seen it anywhere?"

Amid her affirmation, the young man raised the corners of his lips reservedly, but his shining eyes revealed the joy in his heart: "I had the chance to see her briefly. Of course, as long as you like it."

While talking, Tom played with Tomie's hair.He loves the feeling of the silky strands of hair falling from his fingers, which has become almost a daily routine for Tom Riddle lately.It puts him in a good mood.

At this time, he might reach out and touch Fu Jiang's cheek.This is the rare intimacy that Tom Riddle would initiate.

Fu Jiang yawned.

She was no longer offended by Tom's condescending attitude.Fu Jiang told himself that everything was just because no one loved Riddle, so he never knew how to love others.

Yes, it must be because Riddle doesn't know what love is, nor how to love (she hypnotizes herself).

Maybe it's because hypnosis is too successful, sometimes Fu Jiang almost thinks that his thoughts are correct.Especially when Tom looked at Fu Jiang, as long as he thought that Tom was learning to "love" her, Fu Jiang couldn't help but feel his heart soften.

Of course, it may not be all correct, but it is not entirely out of Fu Jiang's unilateral fantasy.

Tom's attitude has indeed changed a lot.

Fu Jiang played with the owl in his hand.A month ago, she felt weird and discordant because of Tom's crazy sex, but that discordant feeling has disappeared with the passage of time.They've been having a great time together lately.If it wasn't because Tom was too young, Fu Jiang would really think it was love.And she is also working hard to have more affection for Riddle.

Fu Jiang was thinking, and couldn't help lying on the young man's thin shoulders, smelling the acacia fragrance from the other party's body in his nose.With her eyes closed, she didn't notice Tom Riddle's slightly stiff body under her touch.

The boy stopped his movements so abruptly.He paused to feel the emotions in his heart that seemed to be wrapped in honey.For a while, it was about to fall into the black mud, and for a while, it seemed to be flying into the air.

The favorability level fluctuated, rising and falling for a while, and finally fixed at 90 points.Fu Jiang, the only one who cares, has completely blocked the sound of the system.She has gotten used to this in the past month.

And also gave up exploring Riddle's psychological activities.

After the rabbit incident a month ago, Fu Jiang got 90 points of favor from Riddle.But what happened next was weird.Almost every day, every moment, Tom Riddle's favorability level fluctuated, whether she was close or distant.At the lowest point, it dropped to 70 points, but it returned to 90 in just one night.At the highest point it reached 98, but before Fu Jiang was happy, he fell back again.

But that incident was obviously over, and everything ended with Billy's injury.Michelle's inquiry could not be close to the truth because of the children's secrecy, and Tom naturally could not be punished.Even the blackening value that once made Fu Jiang panic, but because he recalled that he would not die, it was ignored.

Fu Jiang inevitably slacked off, thinking that there were only ten points of goodwill left, and he could succeed even if he didn't have to worry.

She moved her head to make herself more comfortable.

But Riddle next to him focused all his attention on a strand of black hair that Fu Jiang slipped and fell on his arm.It was itchy, and Tom couldn't help noticing it.He felt Fu Jiang leaning on his shoulder, feeling Fu Jiang breathing gently, and he realized that as long as he turned his head slightly, he could smell the fragrance of her hair.

This distance is really too close.

As long as he stretches out his hand, he can break Fu Jiang's slender neck.He'd grab her by the throat, watch her cheeks, his eyeballs start to bleed—

But he won't do that.

Tom Riddle stared at his hands.Slender and slender, looking weak and weak.But he knows that as long as he is willing, he only needs to hook his finger, and the inconspicuous pebble on the ground will be firmly embedded in Fu Jiang's eye socket——

But he won't do it.

He enjoys the distance.This intimacy pleased Tom.He was very happy to see Fu Jiang defenseless against himself-is this "love"?Tom was confused for a moment.

"Are you asleep?" Tom asked.As soon as he spoke, he was startled by his own voice.They sound too soft and feel so foreign to teenagers.

Fu Jiang was noncommittal to his question, she snorted softly, turned over and lay down on the bed, and rolled herself into the quilt.Tom couldn't help looking at Kong Luoluo's shoulders, it seemed that Fu Jiang's body temperature was still there.

This made the young man feel a little unhappy - all the emotions he couldn't understand and never experienced, he called it unhappy.

He slowly sat back on the bed, pulled Fu Jiang's quilt with an irrefutable and tough attitude, and then got into the quilt.

The slightly yellow light penetrated the thin quilt and shone in the eyes of the two people inside.Fu Jiang couldn't help opening her eyes wide. She looked a little frightened, and she was obviously still not quite used to Tom's inconstant anger in the past month.And her expression obviously made the other party laugh.

She reminded Riddle of the rabbit not long ago.But strangely, he didn't want to hurt Fu Jiang—at least not at the moment.

Riddle lowered his eyes, his fan-like eyelashes closed and opened gently, and the pure black pupils wrapped there were more profound and quiet in this shot that seemed to be slowed down frame by frame.

"Where did you come from before?" Tom asked, suddenly curious about Fu Jiang's origin.

The girl blinked: "It's a distant place, but it's not a pleasant memory."

Riddle thought for a moment, and when the next question was about to be asked, Fu Jiang quickly pecked the boy's cheek.

Yes, peck.Like a bird, the fast Riddle quickly retreated to a safe position without even feeling it.Only those same pair of bright black eyes looked at him quietly and intently.

Riddle touched his cheek with his hand.It was the first kiss in his life, even though he was only 11 years old.

He didn't blush, didn't get excited, and even a little confused: "Are you, kissing me?"

Fu Jiang blinked: "Yes, I'm kissing you."

"...What's the point of this action?"

She was dumbfounded: In order for you not to ask me where I came from...

Riddle's fingers slowly placed on his heart.The feeling of soaking in warm water made him a little dizzy.He felt himself floating... He had floated before, and it was a little different from the feeling at this moment.

It's amazing.This feeling made him both like and hate.

Riddle clenched Fu Jiang's fingers in complex emotions that he couldn't understand. Because of too much force, the girl's hand bones even made a cracking sound.And Fu Jiang's insensitivity to pain prevented her from warning Tom to let go of herself immediately.

It was Tom himself who let Fu Jiang go.

"...I'm sorry." Looking at Fu Jiang's pinched red and swollen fingers, he sincerely felt guilty, and there was even a hint of distress in his deep pupils.Such emotions made him kiss Fu Jiang's hand involuntarily.

After the kiss, Riddle stopped again: he felt as if he understood why Fu Jiang kissed himself.

Thinking that just as he "loves" Fu Jiang, the other party also has the same feelings for him, Riddle couldn't help but feel happy.

But Fu Jiang still knew nothing about the psychological changes of the teenager.She just watched indifferently in her heart. For some reason, her favorability, which dropped to 88 points, was increased by 4 points.

[The current favorability is 92. ]

Fu Jiang suddenly realized at this moment that what she thought [Riddle didn't know what love is, nor how to love others] might be wrong.Not only did Tom Riddle not understand love, he didn't want love, and he didn't care about love.But when the favorability reached 90, his reason was rejecting, but his heart was longing.

That's why he was so unpredictable and emotional.As a result, sometimes tenderness is full, and sometimes it is tired and lazy.He frequently has killing intent towards himself, but suddenly he is unwilling to do it.

Fu Jiang couldn't help but want to sigh.In order to prevent the conversation from ending without a cause, she had no choice but to pick out a random question: "You haven't told me when you saw the owl~"

Tom was noncommittal about this question, he recalled, then closed his eyes sleepily for a long time, and muttered to himself: "When is it..."

Fu Jiang thought it was an innocuous little problem, just like she thought she still had a lot of time to get those good feelings from Riddle—until she found the letter.
