Afterwards, the two slipped from the top bunk and squatted down next to Pacino.
"Dude, what's going on?
You are talking nonsense in front of brother Manuel , are you really not afraid of being beaten?"
"If he was afraid he wouldn't have said anything, wasn't he beaten?
Does it hurt?"
At this point, one of them went to touch the corner of Pacino's mouth, only for Pacino to half sit down.
"Brother?"
"Why no reaction?
Did you get punched, stupid?"
They hit Pacino's mouth again, but still no response, so they kept hitting and prodding.
Pacino finally cursed through gritted teeth, "Have you two had enough?
You have to poke me, don't you?
Even though my heart hurts more now, I'm still a flesh and blood body, can you poke me somewhere else?"
For some reason, even though Pacino looked sad at that moment, the two housemates could not help but hold their stomachs and laugh after hearing his complaint.
"Pacino, can you stop being so funny, shouldn't you say at this point that your heart is dead and you can't feel any pain anywhere else but your heart?"
"Yes, yes, what are you really saying your wounds hurt."
Pacino looked at the two damaged roommates and shouted, "Get out of here!"
The pain in the corner of his mouth made him wince and suck in his breath.
Pacino was so angry that he kicked one of them.
"Don't tell anyone about this night, I'm drunk and I'm talking nonsense."
"If you know you're talking nonsense, why are you still so stubborn?
At this point, Pacino became silent, and his eyes darkened with seriousness.
"I don't regret saying those things."
There were things that had to be said in the light of day, and feelings like that had to be made clear, and they could not remain ambiguous.
He could keep it out of Angelica's face, he just had to keep it nice and simple, but why shouldn't Manuel do it?
Pacino just wanted to make everything clear!
Late at night Manuel leaned in a secluded spot at the school gate, his hands in his pockets, his back against the wall panel, his gaze deep in front of him.
He wanted to go outside for a breath of fresh air and ended up here without realizing it.
With the words still ringing in his ears, Manuel's mind was in turmoil.
He had never thought about it in the past, much less now, but why did it always cause misunderstandings?
It was not the first time Pacino had said that.
He stood in front of the school for a long time before leaving.
The next day Pacino woke up and felt pain in his mouth when he moved it, and when he saw that his jaw was all swollen, he hissed a few times and looked at Manuel and said, "Manuel, can you be a little more gentle next time?"
Manuel looked at him coldly and did not answer.
"Manuel? I'm serious."
Finally Manuel looked at him, "What are you trying to say, you didn't drink today, if you keep talking nonsense again I might beat you until you can't get up."
"- Okay, you didn't hit me enough yesterday, if you want to hit me, then hit me, because in any case for Angelica's sake I won't resist, right?"
Manuel stared at him in silence.
"Today I want the truth, do you like Angelica or not?"
