Healing | Chatty little ray of sunshine vs. beautiful, tragic human icebox
Xu Nini had a gift for language and loved to talk. For example, as a child, when writing a story based on a picture, she came up with:
"The clouds are crying, so it's raining."
Her Chinese teacher praised her as a little poet.
Another example:
When she saw someone with period blood on their pants, she shouted in the middle of the street:
"Pretty lady, your butt is bleeding!"
And her mother really did spank her until her butt hurt.
And yet another example: In high school, she talked so much that she was seated next to Yan Sheng, the cold beauty who suffered from aphasia.
On the first day after the seating change, the homeroom teacher grinned at her. "Xu Nini, I bet this time you'll be talking to a ghost!"
Xu Nini refused to give up. She could say 800 words in a single class, trying to pry open Yan Sheng's lips by sheer force. She recited 8,000 words a day, but Yan Sheng would only say, "..."
Xu Nini thought: ·_·#
No wonder he's mute.
Some time later, the homeroom teacher, extremely pleased with the class's discipline, came by for the usual inspection.
The girl by the window had her head lowered, as if she were so frustrated at being ignored that she had given up on her studies.
Just as the teacher was about to step in and lecture her, a tight, cold male voice suddenly piped up:
"I'll say at least ten words next time. Can you please stop being mad?"
The homeroom teacher looked at her prized student, who was nervously tugging at Xu Nini's sleeve, and could barely find his voice.
Good grief!
How did she even cure his condition?!
