  Chapter 6 The Sixth Explosion

  "Widowed?"

  Dazai spoke carefully and looked at the girl intently. His eyes were calm, but inexplicably a bit scary. There seemed to be a black whirlpool in the deep eyes, trying to pull her in and drown her.

  Yoko scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed, and then patted the table bluffingly: "Hey, it's just a joke, don't look at it like this-"

  Dazai suddenly held her wrist.

  "Wow, what are you doing?!"

  Yoko looked at him warily.

  "What the fuck, kid--"

  Dazai moved very gently and placed his other hand on the back of Yoko's hand.

  Yoko's scalp almost exploded. It was clear that the other person's every move was gentle, but a sharp alarm sound suddenly sounded in her head.

  "It was all my fault in the past. I ignored your feelings. But I also worked hard to make money for our family."

  Yoko tried to pull his hand away, but failed. She stuttered and said: "Well, um... wake up, are you into a drama?"

  Dazai smiled, his eyes lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow, looking a little sad.

  "Life is too difficult, isn't it? It's hard to make money, the children are disobedient, grabbing supermarket discounts is like fighting, every day work and housework are as tiring as a dog, and you will never be able to afford the house you like... Why don't you give it all up? , follow your heart and be a praiser of death."

  "Dazai?"

  Yoko felt that this guy's mood was really wrong.

  "What's the benefit of being a poor couple? It's better to end the pain day and night."

  He forcibly picked up Yoko, stumbled out of the store, walked to the street, and rushed straight towards the busy highway without looking at the traffic lights.

  "Didi--"

  Countless vehicles sounded their horns at the same time.

  "Fuck!"

  Yoko grabbed Dazai's waist and jumped up. He stepped lightly on the speeding car a few times, and finally landed on the side of the road with Dazai.

  As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she pushed Dazai hard: "You must be sick, don't drag me with you even if you want to die!"

  Dazai seemed to have lost strength, weakly took a few steps back, and fell to the side of the road.

  "Yeah, I'm sick."

  He raised his head, his smile as unreal as a flower made of cellophane.

  "Miss, do you have any medicine? I'm going to die of illness."

  His eyes were like those of a crying child. Under the dark swamp, the confusion and helplessness almost overflowed.

  Yoko pursed his lips and looked at him without saying anything.

  She remembered that when she had just hugged Dazai, the boy's waist was so thin and his body was so thin. She reached out and hugged him, but he didn't move.

  He was determined to die and had no survival instinct at all.

  She sighed, took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it into Dazai's hand.
