Chapter 768: Blockhead
Penerjemah: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Taotao got to know Blockhead on that day.
Blockhead was also the name that the boy had “inherited”. After Blockhead helped Taotao, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other. Blockhead was thin and looked inconspicuous, but he was the strongest and most agile boy in the orphanage.
With Blockhead’s care, Taotao could finally eat hot food and receive toys without tattered toys. She would no longer be threatened and teased by the boys. The children in the orphanage who couldn’t stand the two of them all said: Taotao seduced Blockhead. How shameless.
They even teased Blockhead: Are you going to marry Taotao as your wife in the future?
Although there was less bullying on the surface, the young Taotao still had a hard time in the orphanage. Every day was long and depressing.
“Blockhead, that’s a bad name.” One day, Taotao got a wooden figurine. She pointed at the figurine and said to Blockhead, “Look, it’s silly. It can’t resist whatever others want to do to it.”
Blockhead shook his head. “I’m not like it.” He picked up the wooden figurine and knocked it with his finger joints. He smiled and said to Taotao, “Listen, isn’t the sound of knocking on the wood quite pleasant?”
The two of them began to take turns knocking on the wooden figures. In the boring orphanage, the two children seemed to have discovered something new and fun. After that, the two of them would always look for various materials, knock on them, listen, and compare the sounds they made.
After hearing many sounds, Taotao said, “I still like the sound of wood knocking the most.”
That dull and heavy feeling made one feel very safe. Moreover, it reminded her of her little friend. Her little friend was her most important source of security.
The distant memories became clearer bit by bit. Lu Zhen’s body was almost trembling. She hurriedly continued reading.
“I really didn’t expect that the little girl who loved to cry and laugh back then to become a big star. Of course, I didn’t write to you today to ask for your autograph. After I recognized you, I was conflicted for a while. I didn’t know if I should contact you. After all, you’re a big star now, and I’m just an ordinary person.
“In the end, I couldn’t help myself. I thought of writing you a letter to tell you that everything was fine with me now. I should have come to meet you in person, but I’m leaving Country Z soon. I thought about it and decided not to meet you. Let the memories between us remain the same as they were many years ago. In my memories, we’re still two brats.
“Alright, I won’t talk for long. I’m relieved to see that you’re doing so well now. I hope I can see more of your works in the future. I’m not a fan of Lu Zhen, but Blockhead will always be a fan of Taotao.”
After reading the last line, tears welled up in Lu Zhen’s eyes. She had wanted to ask the chauffeur to stop the car. She wanted to go back and ask the little boy where the person who handed the letter to him was.
Just as Lu Zhen opened her mouth, she fell silent again.
Blockhead had already explained everything clearly in the letter.
The two people who had accompanied and healed each other in their childhood now had their own lives. After so many years, the two of them would probably be strangers when they saw each other again.
Therefore, perhaps in Blockhead’s opinion, using a letter to express his feelings was the most appropriate.
The two of them grew up with their own names, but in distant memories, they were each other’s only salvation in their dark childhoods.
Lu Zhen folded the letter and carefully placed it in the envelope.
Blockhead, I also wish you a happy, bright, hopeful life.
Across the street, Lin Feng watched as Lu Zhen got into the car and it slowly left the street. He closed his eyes and felt a dull pain in his heart. He knew that there was no need to send this letter. To Blockhead, as long as Taotao was doing well, it didn’t matter if she was Lu Zhen or someone else, a big star or a small figure.
Therefore, Blockhead might not disturb Taotao’s life.
However, it was Lin Feng who could not calm down. In the end, he still had the selfishness of an adult. He specially wrote a letter to Lu Zhen. He wanted her to remember “Blockhead” again and take it to heart forever.
Of course, Lu Zhen might never forget “Blockhead”.
Lin Feng just wanted to appear in her mind again after so many years and make her miss him again.
