Chapter 226: Less than lovers, more than friends (different in relationship, but with a tacit unders
After Heimer sent Blastoise and Houndoom to the Pokémon Center, he sat on a chair in the corridor at the entrance and waited for the examination of the two of them to be completed.
At this moment, a message came from Heimer's pocket navigator, which was sent by an unfamiliar number.
[Heimer, I'm downstairs. I have something to talk to you about. Can you meet me now? ]
Heimer understood that the message was sent by Ankang, so when he was about to reply to Ankang, "No problem, come up," Ankang appeared from behind Heimer with the help of the cursed doll's sneak attack, and Ankang spoke to Heimer gently.
Ankang: "Little cutie."
When Heimer heard Ankang's voice, he was startled.
Chi Haimo: "Ahhhhhhh!!! Ankang!! You you you, you scared me."
Ankang: "Sorry, I have something to tell you."
After Heimer put the pocket navigator back into his pocket, he spoke gently to Ankang.
Chi Haimo: "Well, go ahead."
Ankang: "Well, let's find a cafe and chat while eating cake."
After hesitating for a while, Heimer shook his head and said to Ankang.
Chi Haimo: "Well, not very good, I have to wait for the coyote dog and the water arrow turtle to finish the inspection. What is going on?"
Facing Heimer's question, Ankang looked at Heimer with a little sadness and said.
Ankang: "Heimer, I've recently faced a very difficult choice... that is, if you promise to do something very important to someone who is very important to you, and then you find out later that the thing you are going to do for him may hurt another person you love, then what should you do?"
Chi Haimo: "Well...it depends on what the specific matter is. But since you are afraid of hurting the person you love, I think it's best to go find the person you made an agreement with and have a good talk."
Ankang: "Well, actually I have... tried to talk to him many times, but he won't change his decision."
When Heimer heard this, he naturally asked.
Chi Haimo: "Then the person who made a promise with you, is Wuming?"
As soon as Heimer's question came out, Ankang was silent for a while. Seeing this, Heimer did not ask more questions, but immediately changed the subject.
Chi Haimo: “Well, by the way, aren’t you busy with the Color Fever work recently?”
Ankang: "I...I have nothing to do recently, so I came to see you."
When Heimer heard Ankang's words, a hint of uneasiness appeared on his face.
Chi Haimo: “Ah?”
At this moment, the lights in the corridor flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dimmed, with the same frequency as their heartbeats, placing the two of them in light and darkness at times. . .
Ankang looked into Heimer's eyes with a little sadness, then clenched his fists and spoke to Heimer in an almost pleading tone.
Ankang: "Heimer... I don't have much time left, so I have to say this to you, I... I love you, Heimer, I have liked you for a long time, and this liking is not the kind of friendship liking, but the kind of liking that wants to spend the rest of my life with you, I love you... Let's be together."
Heimer felt mixed emotions as he looked at the orange-haired boy in front of him who was confessing his love to him. In the past, Ankang was someone he would never be able to love, no matter what kind of love it was.
But now, he and I have reconciled and become friends, even close friends, and then...
Chi Haimo: "I'm sorry, Ankang, there can't be love between us... You are a very important friend to me, but that's all, and I have met the person I want to spend the rest of my life with."
After Heimer finished speaking, Ankang spoke to him firmly but a little pleadingly without hesitation.
Ankang: "I don't care, Heimer, I've made up my mind now, as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything else, so... please, promise me."
Faced with Ankang's words, Heimer shook his head helplessly and said.
Chi Haimo: "But I care, Ankang, I love that person very much, so I care."
Ankang: "Heimer..."
After Ankang finished speaking, he squatted on the ground feeling a little aggrieved and sad. Seeing this, Heimer also squatted down immediately and spoke to him with a gentle smile.
Chi Haimo: "You know, when I first met you, I only felt fear and anger towards you, but later, as I got to know you better, I felt happy, grateful, sad and grief about you."
Ankang: "I...I didn't understand."
Chi Haimo: "Ankang, I think you are a scorching sun, bright and dazzling, so don't chase the stars and the moon. It's good to be free in the sky that belongs to your own world. In the future, you will meet the person who can really walk into each other's hearts, but I will not be that person."
When Ankang heard this, he immediately cried and spoke to Heimer with a sob.
Ankang: "You...you don't want me anymore...are you going to abandon me too..."
When Heimer heard this, he immediately held Ankang's shoulders with both hands, looked at him firmly and said.
Chi Haimo: "I will never abandon you!! As your best friend!! I will always be behind you and support you!! I promise!!"
After hearing what Heimer said, the expression on Ankang's face became even sadder.
Ankang: "I don't want to... I don't want to be your best friend... Why can I only be your best friend..."
Seeing Ankang like this, Heimer showed a very worried and sad expression.
Chi Haimo: "Ankang..."
At this moment, just when Heimer was about to say something else, Ankang suddenly stood up and shouted at Heimer crying bitterly.
Ankang: "Alright!!! Stop talking!!!"
Chi Haimo: "Hey!! Ankang!! Wait!!!"
Ankang ignored Heimer's obstruction and stepped directly onto the shadow behind him, leaving the Pokémon Center with the help of the cursed doll's sneak attack.
