My heart can not help but sigh a variety of ideas, always feeling that they should know more about mythical creatures, to explore their world and culture.

"You're starting to get interested in mythological creatures!"

Dianthe looked at me. Happily, the black human pupil changed quickly into the color of agate, as if knowing that I was delighted to get close to mythical creatures.

"That's right! Are you free this weekend?"

"Yeah! To tell the truth, in addition to the study, I do not know what else to do! What's the matter? What can I do for you?"

Dianthe looked at me confused, wondering why my expression was different from usual.

"Well, since you're free this weekend, can you... Why don't you hang out with me? I'd like to invite you to dinner and thank you for helping me out with Flash Thomson..."

I scratched my head and was a little shy. I was almost speechless. After all, as a boy suddenly bringing up the topic of going for a walk on the weekend to the girl, it sounded strange, which made me dare not look Dianthe in the eyes.

"Going for a walk and dinner with friends? Good! I also want to find a person to go out together. The last few days, because I was swamped, I have not been able to chat with you!"

This answer was so surprising and reasonable; surprising because Dianthe, as a girl, didn't hesitate at all. She readily agreed to my request as a boy, but it seemed reasonable because Dianthe was still so easy-going, which made me think her personality was too easy to get along with.

"Then it's settled! This Saturday, let's meet at Central Park at eight o 'clock in the morning. Let's go for a stroll in the woods and in the suburbs. In the afternoon, let's go to the Bada-Bing Pizza restaurant for some pizza! I went to that restaurant for my birthday, and the pizza was great!"

"Good! Then I'll take the lunch for both of us!"

"Lunch? Wait, don't bother.

At the thought of Dianthe making lunch for me, I quickly refused, not because I thought her cooking was terrible because I didn't even taste her food.

In fact, I think it is very unreasonable. I should have invited her to dinner, but she cooked for me. I feel that I did not succeed in expressing my gratitude.

"Why did you invite me to have dinner in the afternoon? You don't have to cook; I'm already thrilled!"

"But... "

I was still a little hesitant and wanted to stop Dianthe from cooking for me.

Think about it, you and a girl go on an outing, at noontime, she took out her carefully prepared lunch in advance, hand-made food to your mouth, gently smile at you...

No matter how you slice it; it's very embarrassing. And this kind of thing should not happen between the two of us. Our relationship is just as friends...

Dianthe didn't hesitate with me and didn't seem to overthink, she just refused firmly:

"Well, say no more! I guess you can't cook as a boy! So, at noon I'll be responsible for lunch. We can't walk around with hungry bellies!"

"That's what I said... "

After all, I have seen her fight with Blair, and I know she is very persistent about certain things, which can be called a kind of trembling belief.

"You look a lot more optimistic? What happened last night?

"Er... "Nothing happened, I just reflected on what happened between Blair and me yesterday, and I felt like I was losing my image as a mythical creature in the east by kneeling on one knee, so I decided to be more proactive in the future and not be bullied.

"I... "

A moment, I have a thousand words I want to say, but I can't even weave a word. Even if yesterday, Dianthe gave up part of her dignity for me. But I yesterday also didn't overthink, I just thought of how to thank her.

"We can't be bullied!"

This sentence rang in my mind, in fact, I think these choices ultimately did not change anything, but let me forget the most important thing.

"Be stronger!!!"

If I do not become stronger, even gratitude is of no use. She is planning to become stronger for "us", but I have never intended to change my cowardice and try to protect another person. Because, I know Dianthe is powerful as a mythical creature, so I think she doesn't need my protection imperceptibly!

However, I was wrong, she needs protection, everyone in the world needs protection because this protection is mutual, if I was strong, Dianthe wouldn't be disciplined by others.

Because Michael and I, Dianthe, tried to hold back the pain, from the monster back to the human form and warned me to run! Because of Lightning Thomson and me, Dianthe was attacked and turned into the monster she didn't want to become! Because of Blair and I, Dianthe, abandoned part of her self-esteem and ended up willingly accepting rude conditions and treatment!

With this in mind, I have also cleared my mind. Even if my daily life returns to normal in the future, there will be no problematic issues, no school bullies, no mysterious organizations and no evil monsters.

However, I still want to support and protect her in daily life, because we are friends!

"You look excited. Are you looking forward to going out this weekend?"

Dianthe looked at my expression; rain or shine is uncertain, but she smiled, looking pleased. Obviously, she thought I imagined what would happen on the weekend. My mind was also awakened to reality by her laughter, I realized that my rain or shine expression was funny, and Dianthe looked as if she was watching a mime's hilarious performance. And in an hour, two people are with relish to chat; on the other side of the earth, across through the other side of the ocean in Shanghai, China, but at the moment, it was like a small thing.

[Pudong International Airport in Shanghai]

Shanghai, as one of China's international metropolises, is as prosperous as New York City in the United States. Therefore, the international airport here is almost year-round, and every day is a hectic day.

On the busy tarmac, as a white C919 prepares to take off, a 15-year-old girl in first-class inside looks out the window with great anticipation, enjoying the panoramic view.

"Wow, what a big, much bigger plane!"

"What time does it take off?

"Oh! Really? Let's fly!"

.....................

The girl looked at the runway gradually, as the plane began to taxi, it started growling. She stared out the window, seeing the rows of the planes, and could not help but cheer. This was because every time the plane reved its engines, it made a loud sound. The excited expression looks like a child who was on a plane for the first time. This made the passengers around look at her strangely.

However, when these passengers saw the girl's face, all the passengers turned from anger for joy, and even someone took the initiative to take out a mobile phone request with the girl, but the girl did not pay attention to these passengers.

She just glared at the passengers, and everyone went silent. No one disturbed the young girl, who was intoxicated with the scenery outside, and all of them went back to their seats in a daze, waiting for the plane to take off.

The girl did not care about the people around, still sitting in their seats, looking out of the window of the scenery. Shouting and screaming, from the outside she looks like a 12-year-old child, wearing an elegant red cheongsam; From her back, everything seems reasonable.

But when you look at her face, you feel like your soul has been healed, and all hostile feelings against her will automatically drain away quickly, like a punctured ball constantly deflating…
