Chapter 36 – The Ending of Kaka (1)
What Liu Kaiyan asked was, “It was pitiful, right?”
What Su Tian heard was, “[He] was pitiful, right?”
[He] was the main character of the comic, the dog at the circus, but it was also Liu Kaiyan, who was being forced to train under his parents’ whip.
Perhaps, because his skin was so pale, Boss Liu had a pair of especially dark eyes. When he looked at someone, his look was always intense mixed with a little bit of coldness. It always gave the impression that one would be sucked into his eyes.
Su Tian studied him for a bit and instead of answering his question, replied with a question, “Why do you say that it was pitiful?”
“Every time it tried to escape it was caught and dragged back. And every time it was dragged back, it received a severe beating. Why couldn’t it just resort to staying at the circus? After all, it was well fed there and it had a roof over its head… why did it keep trying to escape. Isn’t that stupid and pitiful?”
Just like himself.
Su Tian shook her head, “No, I don’t agree that he was pitiful.”
Su Tian omitted the “stupid” part. She knew that his point wasn’t the “stupid” part, but the “pitiful” part.
“I felt that Kaka was great. It was brave and respectable…..”
Su Tian always has a calm demeanor and a slight smile on her when she talked. She’d always looked at the person she was talking to. Her look was always so tender that it was as though one was being caressed by a soft pair of small hands.
No matter who she was talking to, they’d always quiet down and listen to her, and believed that each and every single word coming from her was from the bottom of her heart, with no fakeness.
Liu Kaiyan, just like anyone else, felt the same way.
She said, “…. I am so proud of him.”
Hearing her final word was like a bomb being dropped inside of Liu Kaiyan. All the grievance and injustice that had been eating at him since he could remember were wiped clean. So, Kaka was… respectable?
So he wasn’t…. pitiful after all?
