Lisa doesn’t understand the world, but he was really smart.

It was true that he was angry at this moment, but his inherent intentions were also true.

Jennie said that there was no relationship between them that allowed him to help her or provide for her like this. The words “there was no relationship between them” was like a scene from a movie, that repeated itself in his head over and over again. .

He threw the knife and fork on the plate fiercely, anger, sadness, irritability, disappointment, grievance, and other emotions he couldn’t describe filled him.

His eyes were a haze, and he just wanted to leave in anger.

Jennie hurriedly apologized to the disturbed guest and ran back, “Uncle Chen hasn’t arrived yet, where are you going? Lisa, I didn’t want to make you angry.”

He didn’t want to listen, he could go anywhere in the world, he just didn’t want to stay here.

Jennie quickly rearranged Lisa’s tableware, before blocking Lisa’s wheelchair to prevent him from leaving. Lisa sat in the wheelchair coldly and fixedly looked at Jennie.

The atmosphere between the two was tense, but only Jennie felt it. Lisa couldn’t perceive the atmosphere. He stared at Jennie without a word for a long time, and suddenly remembered the first time he had brought breakfast for Jennie, they also had this type of confrontation.

At that time, Jennie didn’t eat it. He had looked at Jennie just like how he was looking at her now, saying that if she didn’t eat it, he would throw it all away. In the end Jennie compromised.

Lisa was stunned. Suddenly he was distracted, and the anger in him was also transferred to elsewhere. He lowered his head thoughtfully. Jennie didn’t know what was going on in Lisa’s mind at this moment, and looked at him. Before saying helplessly, “I will give you another steak. The restaurant can compensate you for free.”

Hearing this, Lisa returned to his senses.

“No,” he raised his head and stared at Jennie, “I don’t want to eat.”

Jennie glanced down at the steak that he had barely touched. Lisa had eaten so little today, and he would be hungry when he goes back.

“Then I’ll pack it, and let Uncle Chen take it back in a while.”

Lisa’s eyes flickered, “I’ll have Uncle Chen throw it away.”

Jennie: “…”

Lisa looked at Jennie’s speechlessness, finally feeling that the situation was a little better. He had thought that Jennie was finally going to compromise just like the last time, but Jennie stopped smiling, and looked away expressionlessly.

“Then do that.”

She really felt that Lisa was a child who hadn’t experienced things not going his way, and couldn’t deal with it any longer. So Jennie turned and left.

Lisa was left with dazed and stunned eyes. After he returned to his senses she was long gone.

After a while, Uncle Chen hurried over. When he came over, he found that the atmosphere was not right. He carefully glanced at Lisa’s face. Although his face was still expressionless as usual, the stormy rage was clear through his eyes.

What happened?

Confused, Uncle Chen took Lisa into the car. After driving for awhile, he finally asked Lisa, “What’s the matter? A quarrel?”

After a long while, Lisa’s dull voice came from behind, “She said not to come here again.”

Lisa’s voice was just a little lower than usual, and his tone was still a cold tone without any ups and downs, but Uncle Chen could hear the aggrieved tone behind it all.

So she didn’t let Lisa come to the restaurant again. Uncle Chen had already guessed the reason why, but still asked, “Did Jennie say why she won’t let you come?”

Uncle Chen definitely wouldn’t give up anyone who could communicate with Lisa normally. The opportunity of emotional communication was helpful to Lisa.

Lisa was silent for a moment, raising his head to look at the streetlamp in the distance blankly before beginning to make a statement.

“Jennie said that I spent a total of 70,000 yuan in three months. The consumption amount was too high. I said it was not high. She said it was very high and it was a waste, and that the Western restaurant’s food was not good for my health. She also said that we are classmates and friends. And that friends and classmates don’t do this for each other, so I don’t need to give her money or help her.”

Although Uncle Chen had always been distressed by Lisa’s Asperger’s Syndrome, he sometimes felt that it had its conveniences, such as the inability to lie and the ability to filter out nonsense and describe things completely as it was.

Although the straight forward words and lack of emotion was concerning.

After listening to Lisa’s description, it seems like Jennie’s reason for not letting Lisa come was similar to what he thought.

As a person that followed normal logic, Uncle Chen not only appreciated Jennie’s feelings, but also appreciated Jennie’s actions. However, if it was Lisa, he wouldn’t be able to feel Jennie’s embarrassment, nor would he understand. His thinking was like a computer program, with his own set of established logic. As long as his logic is reasonable, other people’s logic was useless.

When he was still very young, about three or four years old, Lisa once made a snowman in his room.

For normal children, they might not understand the principle of snow melting when heated, but they understood that snow could not be moved indoors.

At that time, Lisa’s mother was still alive. She held Lisa’s red hand and asked him why he was building a snowman in the room. There was no expression on Lisa’s small face as he explained that he was uncomfortable because of the wind outside.

The wind made him uncomfortable, but he wanted to play with the snow, so he moved the snow into his room and made a snowman in the room.

This was little Lisa’s own logical thinking.

In the eyes of others, it was unreasonably stupid.

Later, Lisa’s mother accompanied him to wait for the snow to melt, telling him that when the snow melted, it would turn into water, soil the floor and wet the sofa, and only then was Lisa convinced.

It was difficult for Lisa to change his mind unless you could convince him with more correct logic.

In the beginning, Lisa’s mother could use the melting of snow to convince Lisa. Since it was a natural phenomenon, intuitive and clear; but now in the situation where Jennie forbid him to come to the restaurant because Jennie could not accept it, how would he (Uncle Chen) explain it to Lisa.

In Lisa’s logic, being helped was a very pleasant thing. He couldn’t understand why he Jennie would be embarrassed and unhappy because of his help. In his mind, she was unhappy because she didn’t like him, and so she didn’t want it.

Jennie didn’t accept his money, it was no different from not accepting him.

Uncle Chen had a headache.

In the past, he wanted Lisa to have a friend who could communicate with him and be good to him. Now that he has one, new problems have arisen again.

Lisa’s behavior towards friends was different from ordinary people, and even his definition of friendship was completely different from ordinary people.

The next day, Uncle Chen sent Lisa into the school tremblingly, and sent a text message to Jennie, telling Jennie not to deliberately reject Lisa, since it would stimulate Lisa’s heart very much.

But even if Uncle Chen hadn’t mentioned it, Jennie wouldn’t have done it anyways.

Last night, she had finished a whole book about Asperger’s Syndrome, staying up till two o’clock in the morning. So the next morning she was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes.

Unfortunately, when Jennie talked to Lisa, Lisa kept his mouth shut and refused to talk to Jennie. Jennie tried to reason with Lisa, “Lisa, rejecting you is not the same as rejecting your help. You have already helped me. For one semester, I don’t need it anymore.”

Lisa finally said, “You need it, you are still working.”

Jennie: “…”

Jennie finally understood a sentence in the book.

For people with Asperger’s Syndrome, whatever is in line with their logic, they will believe that they are correct, and what others say is useless.

Saying too much may have a reverse effect.

Lisa pursed his lips, but he didn’t say what he wanted to say.

When leaving the western restaurant that day, for a moment, Lisa was so sad that he never wanted to see Jennie again and didn’t want to go to school anymore.

But the next day he came to school. Not only did he come, he continued to sit next to Jennie. While he was still mad at what Jennie said and did, and didn’t want to talk to Jennie again, the other side of his heart said otherwise. He was worried that if he really didn’t go to school, Jennie would ignore him forever.

Even if Jennie didn’t accept his help which made him incredibly sad, he still didn’t want to have a clean break with her.

Mino, lacking in judgment, didn’t see the tension at all and even ran to Jennie to ask her about an English question. After she finished the question, Mino looked up and shook with fright when he met Lisa’s gaze.

He quickly moved his gaze away and leaned towards Jennie’s ear to ask her in a low voice, “What’s wrong with Lisa? Did I provoke him?”

Jennie: “…I’m wondering the same thing.”

“You really made Lisa angry?” Mino expressed his surprise. He really felt that Jennie was so easy going and patient when facing Lisa.

Mino’s voice was very small, so Lisa couldn’t hear what they were saying. All he could only see that they were close together, and his hands suddenly shook.

A light smashing sound entered his ears, and Lisa lowered his head and saw that the glass screen of his phone had been cracked. From where his fingers tightly pressed on the cracked glass, small cuts had appeared. The blood from the cuts began to drip out landing onto his white school uniform.

Jennie turned her head and saw the blood stains on Lisa’s school uniform. She asked him anxiously what was wrong, and quickly took out a band-aid from her school bag.

“Reach out,” Jennie said helplessly, looking at the uncooperative Lisa.

Lisa looked at her steadily, and remained motionless.

Jennie couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to grab Lisa’s wrist, and wiped the blood on his fingertips with a tissue, before wrapping it with a band-aid, “You’re going to take the monthly exam soon, let’s hope this won’t affect you.”

Lisa’s finger twitched, and he said coldly,”It will not. “

_________

In the afternoon, on the way home, he stared at the bandaged fingers for nearly half an hour.

Two days later, it was the first monthly exam of this semester. After the results came out, Lisa was still ranked first in the grade, but no one knew why but his English scores this time were less than 140 points.

Many people were surprised, but they didn’t dare to ask why.

Lisa stuffed his English answer sheet into his schoolbag and said nothing.

During class, the English teacher Old Liu put several English essays on the projector, saying that these were the highest scoring essays this time.

The theme of English composition was friendship.

Old Liu praised the three English essays, explaining how they wrote friendship as a mutual benefit, and a feeling that wouldn’t dissipate even if the people involved hadn’t seen each other for many years. It was something that would make everyone better and more beautiful.

One of the three essays shown on the projector was one that Jennie had written.

Lisa had also written about friendship.

In his composition he wrote that that friendship was possession, and it was an absolute realm where no third person was allowed.

The result of this answer was that in the 15-point composition, he only scored two points in the end. Seeing this sad score, he silently threw his paper into the trash can.

In the afternoon after school, Jennie continued to work at the western restaurant.

Lisa could not go to the western restaurant anymore.

All he could do was sit in the car and watch Jennie’s back as she walked away. Uncle Chen really didn’t want to watch Lisa become like this, so he turned on the radio in an attempt to attract Lisa’s attention.

The result was that it did in fact succeed in drawing Lisa’s attention away from Jennie.

But it wasn’t just him, even Uncle Chen was shocked when he heard the news.

Uncle Chen had set the radio onto the news channel, and so there were all sorts of miscellaneous news, mainly about traffic jams and car accidents. But then, he heard the radio talk about how there was a robbery in the early hours of last night. Two men robbed a woman and injured her.

This kind of news was usually not so uncommon nor was it a big deal, but hearing that the incident happened on the street of the western restaurant, was enough to make Lisa feel nervous.

The western restaurant where Jennie worked every day was in the downtown area, but it wasn’t on the busy and bright road. It was safe during the day, but it was actually quite dangerous at night.

Especially when it was late, and there were no people on the street.

Because he hadn’t heard anything like this before, Lisa didn’t think of the possibility of such a situation happening. But after he heard it, for a long time Lisa focused intently on the voice of the radio host.

Lisa immediately became jittery as he thought about Jennie’s safety. So Lisa, who was rarely nervous, immediately asked Uncle Chen to turn around and go to the western restaurant.

Uncle Chen sighed, “Are you going to wait for Jennie to take her home from work? It’ll be too late when she finishes, so let’s go home first, and then I will pick her home every night, okay?”

Lisa who was nervous slowly calmed down. He finally remembered the current situation between him and Jennie.

Lisa inexplicably didn’t want Jennie to know that he still cared about her so much.

“Not good,” Lisa said dully.

After a long while he finally said, “Uncle Chen, you find someone to take her back every night”, and added, “Follow her, and don’t be discovered by her.”

Uncle Chen: “… …”

Obviously, you still care about her, why do you have to act like you don’t?

“Okay,” Uncle Chen agreed, and then asked again, “When will I follow her? “

“I don’t know.”

“Just follow her after she’s done working.”

Uncle Chen: “…”

Forget it, wherever makes you happy.

Jennie didn’t know what had happened, but when she was working, the team leader deliberately approached the workers. She then said that something had happened here recently, and told them to be careful, especially the girls, while on the night shift. After that every employee was handed a bottle of pepper spray and a fruit knife.

Jennie:…

The past few days had passed by normally. She heard that the police had chased the two robbers down and caught them, but she still had to be careful.

After Jennie packed up all her things she looked at the time, and walked home as usual.

It was currently 11:47, so it should be around 12:20 when she gets home… Today there was not a lot of homework, mainly because she almost finished it all during her break time… But she still had to preview tomorrow’s lesson…

Jennie had been doing calculations all the way home and as she planned, when she arrived at the door of the Kim’s house, it was exactly twelve twenty.

She raised her head and was slightly surprised when she saw that the light was on at home.

At this time, everyone in Kim’s family was supposed to be asleep, unless it was Mother Kim who stayed up late to watch TV dramas. But she would normally not turn on the lights in the living room when watching TV.

The lights were brightly lit, and Jennie’s pace of going upstairs slowed down, feeling that something was going to happen.

Going upstairs and opening the door, Jennie raised her eyes to see that except for Seungmin everyone else was sitting on the living room sofa. Father Kim’, Mother Kim, and Old Lady Kim were all there. Old Lady Kim’s face was smug as if she was waiting to watch a show, while father Kim’s and Mother Kim’s faces were extremely ugly.

“Why are you standing at the door, why don’t you come in?” Seeing Jennie coming in, Mother Kim stood up immediately.

Old lady Kim “tsk tsk” twice, “She knows that we know she has some devious thing in her mind, so she dared not come in.”

Father Kim sat on the sofa with a face full of anger and screamed, “Get in here!”

Jennie squinted her eyes and her foot at the door stopped.

While she had walked up, she had guessed what might have happened. For example, Second Sister Kim cried and went back to her natal home and said that her husband had found a small fourth (a mistress). Or maybe it was the old lady Kim and Mother Kim quarreling again, but she had never thought that it was due to her.

After all, she did nothing.

But the posture of these three people made it seem like she had done something unforgivable.

Mother Kim became even more angry when she saw her standing there still, “Are you deaf?! Come in and close, are you not ashamed of others hearing!”

Jennie frowned, “Why should I be ashamed?”

“You’re not admitting it,” Old Lady Kim raised her eyebrows. “I had said many times that she was going outside to do shameful things. Always coming back late at who knows when! Who would’ve imagined she would go and steal money and have the audacity to not admit it.”

Jennie heard her words and finally understood the situation. So they suspected that she was stealing their money?

“I didn’t steal,” Jennie said.

“Your second sister came to the house some time ago and gave me 20,000 yuan. I put it in the drawer under the coffee table. Today I counted and almost a thousand yuan was missing.” Mother Kim said, holding a stack of money. She slapped the table hard as she said, “Tell me! Where did the money go?!”

“I don’t know, it wasn’t me,” Jennie said blankly, “Go ask someone else.”

“If it wasn’t you then you tell me who did it? Your grandma can’t bear to spend money at all. It is impossible for your dad and I to take it. As for Seungmin, I just gave him enough money a few days ago. In addition to that, your eldest sister and second sister have not been here recently. So if it isn’t you then who else? A ghost?”

“It probably a ghost,”Jennie sneered with her eyelashes down.

Mother Kim couldn’t sit still because of Jennie’s attitude, “I don’t believe you. Do you really think that we’ll let you go just because you do well in school?” She said as she stood up and turned around several times, before heading over to take the broom out from the bathroom, “I ask again, did you steal it?”

“Who else could it be ? She bought a phone, but we didn’t get it for her. So where did she get the money to buy a mobile phone, who would believe that she got it from her part time job?”

The old lady Kim gave Jennie a narrowed look and stared at her neck with small eyes, before suddenly standing up, “Look! I said she stole it! Look at what’s hanging on the neck…”

She was about to run over to grab the apple jade pendant on Jennie’s neck. But, Jennie slapped Old Lady Kim’s hand to protect her neck, and Old Lady Kim’s voice became sharper, “You dare! I’ll rip off your face…”

Father Kim, who had not spoken, finally jumped up when Old Lady Kim was pushed aside by Jennie, his fat face shook, and he grabbed the broom in Mother Kim’s hand with one hand and started walking over.
