Smile and Raph in One Piece

The smell of food wafted from the kitchen, Xiaoxiao was so hungry that her stomach ached, but thinking of Liddy holding a spatula and sneering, she was still drooling, as hungry as when she just came back from college, but now she was full of anger The big kids have small meetings.

Among these children, the youngest is ten years old, and the oldest is 16 years old, one year older than her current age.If she hadn't concealed her age and sex, and she was their savior, let alone they would not obey discipline, she would be ashamed to preach.

She also wears a mask in front of the children, because she is slim and tall, and few people have any doubts about her deliberately lowered but still soft voice.But if the mask is taken off, her face will look a little immature, which cannot be suppressed.

Great truth, who would not say.It's a pity that the few in front of me are not as easy to fool as ordinary children.At one moment, she felt that she had a lot to say, and at another moment, she felt that it was difficult to speak.Disciplining children already requires methods, let alone disciplining other people's children.After thinking and thinking, considering and deliberating, she finally opened her mouth when the big bunch of brats who were eavesdropping outside the door had already overwhelmed several of them.

"Are you that angry? What's the matter? The bastards on the Golden Rose have endured it, and the kid in the front yard is worse than them?"

There was a moment of silence inside and outside the house. She smiled and looked at the pale-faced children, and sighed softly with a little worry.

She has always been disapproving of the forgotten psychotherapy arranged by the Youth Academy in this department.This varies from person to person, and for these kids, it's better to face it than to avoid it.

It's fine if a child from a good family can't accept it, but the backyard has never been so delicate, and of course it's not so delicate.

The more unacceptable the experience is now, the sooner you have to learn to face it. Not all children can see it slowly as time goes by, and she can't always mention something to protect them.

"This is the headquarters. It has the best navy officers, the strongest troops, and the best resources. The children here are somewhat different from those in other places."

She said slowly, calmly, and softly, "However, compared with you who have gone through hardships, most of them are just ignorant children."

"You are the big children in this group of children who are old enough to learn how to protect themselves. You have the responsibility and obligation to take care of the younger siblings below. So you have to look farther, instead of sticking to this childish little one. trouble."

"In addition to building a strong body and being proficient in physical skills, you must also know how to arm your mind with knowledge. When you have wisdom and strength at the same time, even if you have a second Golden Rose, you will be fearless."

He smiled and paused, "Wisdom or strength, no matter what, as long as you are strong enough, you can roughly control your own destiny."

She didn't know if it was the right way to teach children, the only thing she could be sure of was that if they could do it, she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Let me give you a word," she opened the door, and a bunch of brats lying on the door all fell in.Xiaoxiao squatted down and hugged Xiaodai who was squeezed to the back so he didn't fall, and tried his best to cadence and full of emotion: "Suffering is the wealth of life."

"Xiaodai, do you understand?"

Xiaodai shook his head honestly, smiled (-ι_-) and asked again: "Then can you remember this sentence?"

Xiaodai hesitated for a while, then nodded obediently.

"Hey, it's good if you can remember it. When you're older, you'll understand."

After suffering, it is easier for people to cherish and treat all good things, to know how to live life, and to be more open-minded.

Xiaoxiao picked up the knife at hand, it was a mock saber made one size smaller than the standard saber, and it was produced in the same military factory as the saber.Although not sharpened.But a knife is a knife after all, a sharp weapon that can hurt and kill.

In the academy, only the sword department is the only place for children to wear swords. Most of the children who can wear mock sabers are exceptionally talented, and very few are allowed to go out with swords.Can be selected into the sword department, this kid Woody seems to have a bit of talent.He obviously chose not to join the army, but he was still selected and allowed to go out with a knife. [Well, although there are suspicions that the academy appeases these non-military children. ] His conduct is estimated to be recognized by the minister.But after all, he was a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, so he was a little impatient, and drew his knife on impulse.

Woody clutched his numb wrist, blushing, "I'm just angry, trying to scare them..."

"Do you think that a knife is not a knife if it is not sharpened? Woody, you must bear the meaning of this knife and be worthy of the trust of the person who gave you this knife."

Woody bowed his head in silence, leaving her with a swirl of hair surrounded by gray stubble.

Xiaoxiao threw the knife to him, and led a group of children, big and small, straight to the dining table, "Okay! Let's all go eat!"

Sitting on the bed after washing at night, Xiaoxiao took out a phone bug from the bedside table.

In autumn, the harvest season of crops and animal husbandry has arrived.Merchant ships buying and transporting grain have been active, and fishing boats have been launched more frequently.Recently, the seafood in the cafeteria is not only delicious, juicy and thick, but also the three meals are not repeated.The big and small pirates entrenched in various sea areas are like brown bears eager to store energy for the winter, and they all start to move around by coincidence.

The headquarters has begun to get busy. Apart from natural disasters and thieves, it is quite necessary to take measures in advance before winter.The high-level executives are buried in the book case every day, and the sea area patrol, the storage of military supplies, the discipline of soldiers, the application for personnel transfer, etc. submitted by the branch have to be verified, discussed, responded, decided, and approved... Three days a small meeting, five days a meeting, except for the basic garrison, the rest, patrolling and fighting to transport military supplies, all can be sent out.Nine out of ten senior dormitory buildings were empty, and the few who were not sent out left early and returned late in a hurry.

Captain Shiro, who was grounded, actually managed to find some leisure for a while.

No one had time to talk to her, Xiaoxiao was even more relieved.

She dialed the phone bug, feeling the gilded cross on the phone bug's case in a daze amidst the sound of "Blu Bulu".

More than half of her first month's salary as a private first class was contributed to this cross.It was she who traveled all over the Chambord islands to find a place where the cross could be restored.I really can't figure it out, Hawkeye doesn't seem to have any source of income, he can still drink top-quality red wine every day, use advanced knife maintenance equipment, and even a small phone bug is decorated with a hand-made gold-plated cross.

Sure enough, don't underestimate the great pirate of Qiwuhai, the world's number one swordsman.

(What the hell is going on with this inexplicable sense of pride and a touch of pride?!)

"click"

Smiling back to his senses, he saw that the round eyes of the little phone bug with a purple pattern shell were stretched into long and narrow shapes, and the two small eyeballs were made into dead fish eyes, trying to be like Mr. Hawkeye in spirit.Smile absolutely.

The phone bug connected, but Hawkeye was silent over there, smiling at the phone bug's expression, the familiar expression, but the strange snail face, which was obviously funny, but she couldn't laugh, and couldn't for a while. There is nothing to say.

A sense of frustration lingered in her heart, she suddenly wanted to see him in person, wanted to talk to him face to face, so that she could see where he was, whether he was standing or sitting, what he was doing, and wanted to really feel his breath , the mellow and introverted smell of red wine mixed with his unique temperature lingering around the tip of the nose, the cold but omnipresent eyes surrounding her, wanting to observe the emotions conveyed by his subtle movements and expressions.

Probably her ecstatic expression was shown by the phone bug, and the person on the other end called her in a low voice, calling her name with a sigh.Xiaoxiao clearly heard a trace of helplessness.

She imagined his expression almost instantly, as if he was already sitting in front of her eyes.

The depression in her heart disappeared in an instant, and the words flowed out of her mouth naturally and smoothly.Little things about life, recent anecdotes, and the kids.

Smiling and sighing: "Why do you think it's so hard to fool kids these days? You speak too plainly and it's not good. You want to be perfunctory, but you can't hide it. If you dare to lie to others, don't even think about this kid trusting you again."

The hawk-eyed chuckled, and her obstinate and clear black eyes appeared in her mind, "Indeed." That's not it.

"Children are not easy to teach... No wonder most mothers age quickly."

Hearing her sigh, Hawkeye couldn't help but smile again, and said, "If you want to grow up, you can't just teach it."

"...Well, what you said makes sense..."

Hearing the distress in her tone and knowing her concern, he asked, "Do you like children?"

"Ah."

"Like teaching kids?"

Seen through at a glance, Hao Ran smiled, "It's okay, it's okay."

He is often educated as a child, and Xiaoxiao said that his family may have been subtly influenced by the elders.

"Where's Mi...Mihawksan? Don't you like children?"

Hawkeye suddenly fell silent, staring at her through the eyes of a phone bug for a long time, and answered softly amidst her anxiety: "I don't hate children, don't worry."

Xiaoxiao stared at the phone bug, unable to react.

His tone... something was wrong.It's like saying it casually, but it's very gentle.It's not that he has never spoken to her tenderly. In his castle on Clay Cana Island, on the beach of Tolan Labis, and in Aunt Xia's rip-off bar in Chambord Islands, every tenderness he rarely revealed , she can't help but treasure it.

But this time's tenderness was different from any previous one.In addition to the soft tone, there was also a sonorous firmness, which made her instantly recall the peace of mind of being embraced by his generous arms.

She couldn't understand it for a while, but she clearly heard the deep meaning in his words - a promise.

"Smail, I don't hate children."

Smiling face immediately turned red.

【Did my major events in my life jump to a whole new level too early...】

"I, I thought you didn't like children..."

"Ok?"

"When you were in Kuraud, you always seemed to avoid children when you saw children..."

Hawkeye was silent for a while again, "Children seem to be afraid of me, and I don't want to scare them." It's not just that they look scared, the timid ones will be scared to cry when they see his eyes.

Xiaoxiao understood that Hawkeye had tried to be as tactful as possible, although she really wanted to laugh, she held back her laughter and asked him, "Then you still say you hate it?"

"I like you."

Xiaoxiao's face was hot, and the wind came in at the right time from the window, but it couldn't remove the heat from her face.It was clearly autumn, but she saw a hundred flowers blooming, and her breath was full of fragrance.

[I like you, so I like the child you like;

I like you, so I will like the children you may have in the future;

I like you, so I like what you like. 】

He spoke succinctly, but she read the poetry in it that was so beautiful that it fascinated her.

Unexpectedly, he was able to move her more and more unexpectedly. He didn't need many sweet words, a sincere heart was enough.
