WMWH Chapter 12

Ms. Jiang made an opening statement and left.

I was left behind a bewildered face and her tall and imposing son.

Where was the sweet and cute little boy that was promised?

I looked up at the man in front of me, who had distinct features and was nearly half a head taller than me. My throat was a little dry and my neck was a little sore.

I pointed to the seat opposite me and said, “Fang Xiānsheng,¹Mr./sir/gentleman/mister please sit down first.

“Thank you.” After saying this, he sat down and positioned himself upright.

I felt like my soul was being shaken.

I was wrong, contrasting cute²反差萌 Contrast cuteness, an Internet buzzword, is a type of cuteness attribute, that refers to the cute state of a person showing different characteristics from the original image or multiple contradictory characteristics. was also a kind of cute.

I stretched out a hand towards him and introduced myself: “I am Xiao Lisheng. You can just call me Li Sheng.”

He hesitated for a moment before taking my hand. His palm was large, rough, dry, and warm. He looked at me with gentle and calm eyes, and whispered: “Hello, I am Fang Fang.”

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

Then there was a series of eerie silences.

I feel like I was fooled by the knowledge in the book. They only talked about what to do with an autistic child but did not mention what to do when that child would grow up to be an adult.

No wonder the teacher said back then that it was better to have no books than to have them all at once.

I decided to sell all those books on Xianyu³Xianyu (Idle Fish) is an online marketplace for people to sell and/or buy secondhand goods. It belongs to Taobao (Alibaba). when I went back.

I didn’t know if it was my imagination, but I found that every person who passed by me would always stop their eyes on me for a second.

I looked at myself. I wore a grey hoodie, with pockets filled with colourful cards. The schoolbag behind me was bulging, filled with snacks and toys. I was holding a chubby little whale in my hand, and there was also a drink with a small umbrella in front of me on the table.

 I looked at the opposite me again. He was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with light hair slightly curled up, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes that were clear and transparent. His behaviour was appropriate and polite.

I feel like that autistic person could be me.

I finally got to hold his hand! So soft! So happy =v=

At once, the scene became quite awkward.

I coughed and asked him, “Your mother said you… like me very much?” Eh, why did this sentence give an inexplicable sense of shame when I said it out loud?

Fang Xiānsheng’s face slowly turned red from his neck to the top of his head. He glanced at me and whispered, “Yes, yes, so can you be my boyfriend?”

I was a little messy in the wind,⁴Messy/scattered in the wind: Just like how wind makes things messy and disorganized. Taken from here, this phrase now usually describes inner thoughts that are messy and cannot be sorted out.  and finally found out what was wrong.

Was the promise of being friends actually about being a boyfriend???

Ms. Jiang, didn’t your conscience hurt?!!

To be honest, if I hadn’t already received Ms. Jiang’s compensation and had promised to treat him gently, I would really want to send him a good person card⁵Receiving a good person card means being refused by the person you like. In other words: it’s not you, it’s’ me. “好人卡” stems from the confession of a young man to the girl of his dreams, who used the phrase, “You are a good man, but we can not be together” to reject him. Since then, “You are a good man” has come to represent a bachelor being rejected; similarly, receiving a “好人卡” means rejection. Source: https://cn.hujiang.com/new/p489170/ and leave.

I took a deep breath and told myself to be gentle and mild. After all, the other party has autism, and Ms. Jiang only asked for half a year. I could say goodbye at any time after half a year.

Having come to this point, I immediately put on a smile, revealed my standard eight large white teeth, and said: “Of course, I can.”

“You’re really kind.” He smiled like a child, not knowing where to put his hands. “My mother said you are a good person.”

I felt a bit heartbroken. I coughed and changed the subject: “Do you often come to my performances?”

He nodded.

I was a little surprised. Logically speaking, if such a tall person, if he often went to the theatre, there was no reason why I wouldn’t notice him.

“Where do you usually sit?” I asked.

“In the last row,” he said.

I felt a strange feeling in my heart and asked him: “Have you ever seen a person wearing a mask and a hat?”

His face suddenly turned red from his neck to the top of his head. He held it in for a while before saying, “That’s me.”

My smile faltered.

So, you were the mentally retarded person who was a little perverted but also a little cute, or perhaps the perverted person who was a little mentally retarded and cute?
