Maybe I can't have normal youth
Chapter 4 Heart Island
Open your eyes.
What appeared before my eyes was a playground?
Very different from the white church last time, I feel that everything around me is so real, and there is no dullness in my senses.I looked down at myself.Wearing a blue and white dress.Touched his head, there is a bow hairband on his head.I think it should also be blue.A dress that is too familiar but has been missing for a long time.
I immediately knew who I represented.Or, who am I here.
But where is this place?It looks like a playground.Looking inside, there is a pink carousel on the left, closest to the gate.On the right is a common bumper car.It looked like a small shop not far away, with a large handful of red balloons hanging in the doorway.
This playground as a whole gives me a slightly weird feeling, but I can't say why.
The biggest building in sight is a red castle on the left.I have a familiar feeling, this place, I don't seem to be the first time.
Entering the gate, the entire playground presents a quiet atmosphere, but it is not scary.It's like that, in the hottest weather in midsummer, people don't want to go out because it is too hot, which creates the kind of empty feeling.
very quiet.
The merry-go-round stopped quietly.It seems to be waiting for someone to restart it.No, it's not waiting for someone, but waiting for a lot of people, to be able to ride it happily together in a circle.
The same seems to be true of bumper cars.But they are not impatient.It seems to be waiting for someone calmly.
As I passed by the small shop, I looked inside and placed the Nutcracker soldiers in the most prominent place.I didn't notice it when I looked far away, but only when I walked in did I find that although the balloon looked very angry, it was covered with a layer of dust.
Yes, I know where the weird place in this amusement park is.The stagnant amusement park seems to have not been opened for a long time, no, it seems that it has never been opened.It's like a baby is stopped shortly after birth.
I took a balloon from the door, wiped it off and tied it to my hand. It moved up and down with the rhythm of my walking.My mood also became a little happy.
I don't know why I am here.I don't know where this familiar feeling comes from.I can say that I wandered aimlessly in this playground.But slowly approached the red castle.
"You're back!" exclaimed joyfully.
I don't know when a row of red roses appeared on the side of the road. The huge roses were much taller than mine.They are neat and uniform, each seems to look the same.The ones close to me looked at me and waved their leaves, seemingly happy to see me.
So this is the castle of the Red Queen.In fact, I had this feeling in my heart long ago, when I saw my own outfit.
I slowly approached the few roses farthest from the castle, and they didn't seem malicious.
"You seem to have changed a lot." A rose curled its rhizome and hovered behind me, looking up and down, as if to look at me from head to toe."Well, it has grown a lot taller. It used to be barely to my left hand, but now it's to my right!" The rose waved two asymmetrical leaves around me like a python.
I looked at its big face, and my breathing started to get a little short.
"Well, Xiaoyi, you see you scared her again!" The other rose around said with a smile. It seems that the rose in front of me is called Xiaoyi."Ai Li hasn't been here for so long, have you forgotten everything before?"
"Huh?" I think something is wrong, "Ai Li? Am I not Zhao Baian?"
"Oh, let me think about it..." Xiao Yi lowered his head and looked at the two big leaves, which should be equivalent to human hands."Oh, it’s too long to remember. But I know Ai Li was not called Ai Li when he first came.
"Have I been here before? Do all of you know me?"
"Oh, don't you remember? This is your house!" Xiaoyi let go of me, tilting his head and continuing to say to me.
"Well."
This is my home.Xiaoyi's words seemed to give me a reasonable explanation for my inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"However, it's fine if you come back now!" Xiaoyi didn't seem to care about my doubts, and continued to happily swayed his body."This is your home, and it will always be your home!"
"So the Red Queen is still so arrogant?" I asked the other rose."I think you are all red, but I know they are actually white roses."
"Oh, where is the arrogant one! Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?" Rose chuckled lightly, bending the flower bones to get closer to my face."En?" The voice suddenly became severe.
The surrounding atmosphere was suddenly serious, and I was so nervous that I swallowed. Could it be that I said something that shouldn't be said.
silence……
"Hahahahahaha! Little five, you are too much, don't tease her!" The rose behind the first one, then I guess this way of naming it should be the second one, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Hahahahahaha~" The surrounding roses also trembled, shaking their heads and laughing.It seems that what I just said about the ruthlessness of the Red Queen is something funny.
Hey, did you scare me on purpose just now!Humph!I see, you are all roses of evil taste!
"Red is so beautiful. The Red Queen likes red. So we voluntarily put rouge on our faces every day. We hope she will be in a good mood when she sees us." Xiao Er continued.
"Huh?" I always feel that it conflicts with my perception.
"Ai Li!"
"Ai Li~"
"Ai Li is here!"
"Welcome back~~"
More roses are aware of my existence, shaking their thick meridians, calling my name enthusiastically.
I didn't have time to ask, walk forward, and greet each rose.They are very kind to me, it seems that I and them are old acquaintances.
Although I have no impression.
Unknowingly, he has reached the gate of the Red Castle.The door was closed tightly.I don't know what to do.
"Hey! Ace of Hearts, you stupid! Don't go to bed, get up soon?" I don't know which rose shouted.I found out that it was in a corner not far from the gate.A poker soldier fell asleep soundly.
"Ah? Who called me?" The card soldier named Ace of Hearts was awakened from his sleep, a little unhappy."A visitor? Who are you?" He muttered, rubbing his eyes as he walked towards me.
The moment the Ace of Hearts saw me, he leaned back because he couldn't believe it, and fell to the ground, his flat and curved body swaying back and forth like a rocking chair."This. This." It stared at the rose at the gate of the castle.
"Hehe." Rose just twisted her body slightly to the left and right, without speaking.
I reached out and pulled the Ace of Hearts up.After all, it is made of iron sheet, which is a little heavy.
"Ai. Ai. Ai Li! My goodness!" Heart A put another slightly trembling hand on my hand."Where have you been, we have waited for you for too long, too long."
"Don't patronize excited, forget your duty." Rose suddenly said, containing the further tears of Ace of Heart.
"Oh, yes, yes." Heart A let go of my hand, stood still at the gate of the castle, and shouted: "Red Castle welcomes the only visitor~"
Then he knocked on the huge castle gate with the heart of the long guard rod in his hand.The heavy door opened silently.
I am about to go forward."Ai Li." Heart A suddenly called me softly.
He lowered his head shyly, took off the small red heart in the upper right corner of his body, and pinned him to my hair gently like a hairpin."Welcome back, Ai Li."
"Thank you." I reached out and touched the hairpin, replied softly, handed the red balloon tied to my wrist to the Ace of Hearts, turned my head and walked into the castle gate.
Before I could see the space behind the door, my vision was covered by a figure.Then I felt a heavy pressure and a solid hug.
"Ahhhhhh... I'm out of breath..." I breathed hard in this passionate hug, trying to reach out and pull the opponent away from my shoulders.
"Hmm~" The other party not only didn't let go, but hugged tighter, he even buried his head in my shoulder."Suck~" and smelled me!Take a deep breath?!I must have encountered a pervert!
"You want to kill me! Big bad guy. I stayed here alone for so long. Ugh~ The rabbit also told me that you would never come back again. I don't believe him, huh! It really is big Liar!" An unexpected voice came from my ears.The other party hugged me again before finally letting go.I was able to see her face clearly.
Red hair, red eyes, red clothes, fair skin.Pouting her mouth in anger, as if I had made her suffer.With hands on hips, it's completely the arrogant appearance of a young lady!
The Red Queen.
There is no doubt that the appearance of the eldest lady in front of me, the cute girl who is as tall as me, is the Red Queen.
"The Red Queen."
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Did I just call her the Red Queen to make her unhappy?"Uuuuu~ Xiao Baibai, why have you forgotten other people's names!"
"Huh!" The Red Queen stomped angrily, turning around and trotting away with her skirt.
"Hey, wait a minute." What's the situation?I am still a bit confused.
The Red Queen did not listen to my dissuasion at all.He trot all the way up the luxurious steps in the middle of the hall.
"Forget it, leave her alone." I didn't have the desire to run after her.Inexplicable, I don't quite understand.Let's observe the surrounding environment first.
Sure enough, it is what the castle hall should look like in my imagination.
"Xiao Bai." A cold voice interrupted my sight when I was just beginning to explore.I followed the voice and looked up.It turned out to be the Red Queen, standing at the corner of the stairs.
I thought she ran away long ago.
But this voice?
"Xiao Bai." The Red Queen called again, her voice high and cold and majestic.If it weren't for the same clothes and the same looks as the girl just now, I would definitely conclude that these were two people.
"Xiaobai? Is it me?" But I can't control that much.This claim makes me even more strange."Am I not Ai Li?"
"Hey." The cold Red Queen sighed.Then he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and paused, but said nothing."Come on, Zhao Bai'an, come with me."
!!!
"You are the first person I meet here to call my real name. Xiaobai? You have been calling me Xiaobai just now! What the hell is going on?"
However, the Red Queen did not answer my question, turned and walked deep into the corridor on the second floor. There was no way, I had to speed up to keep up with her.
