I Really Didn’t Want To Fall In Love with the Hedgehog Girl - Chapter 111

Lin Chen fell asleep with this view.

In his dream, he even dreamed of being in the playground with Liu Anyao.

I saw Liu Anyao hooking his arms with both hands, smiling sweetly and happily.

At this time Liu Anyao is no longer the one who does her own way and looks cold.

Instead, it looked like a little girl.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen got up immediately under the reminder of the alarm clock.

He got dressed and looked in the mirror.

“Well, today is also Yu Yan’s day.” Lin Chen teased herself and went out.

Due to the influence of that article yesterday, Lin Chen guessed that perhaps Liu Anyao would be half an hour late before leaving the gate of the community.

So he is not in a hurry.

When he arrived at Liu Anyao’s community, he found that she had been waiting at the door.

This made Lin Chen a little surprised.

“You came out so early?” Lin Chen asked in surprise.

After listening to Liu Anyao, she looked at the time and explained, “Isn’t it nine o’clock? It’s nine o’clock now.”

Lin Chen reacted and nodded: “Yes, nine o’clock.”

He thought to himself, why would he compare most of the girls with Liu Anyao.

Liu Anyao is so special because he is so different from other girls!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen was also happy.

After all, punctuality is really important.

Lin Chen looked at Liu Anyao and saw that her dress looks very nice today.

The jet-black hair was still the same as usual, stuck into a bunch of “pony tails”, dangling, and walking, the ponytail dangled rhythmically with the steps.

The little light yellow shirt, with red and white patterns on the shirt, is a light touch.

There are thin lavender lace on the stand-up collar, neckline and cuffs, and the soft lace is wrapped around the shirt like a thin layer.

The lower body is equipped with a pair of hot pants that embody the slender thighs, showing the figure to the full.

If Liu Anyao’s dress was mentioned, it would be enough to make boys of several ages look back.

“Let’s go.” Liu Anyao suggested that when the time was almost up.

Lin Chen nodded: “Okay.”

Because it was still early, Liu Anyao proposed to take a bus.

The Happy Valley of Hongcheng is not far away, it only takes half an hour by bus to arrive.

After getting in the car, Lin Chen also took the initiative to walk to the back of the car, found an empty seat, and let Liu Anyao sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Liu Anyao took out the earphones and handed one to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took the earphones and asked, “You have to listen to songs in half an hour.”

“You can do a lot in half an hour, why can’t you listen to songs? Listening to songs can calm one’s heart.” Liu Anyao explained.

With that, she clicked on the player and clicked on one of the songs.

Not long after, a simple prelude came from the headphones.

Lin Chen could hear that this is Xu Song’s song.

But he couldn’t remember the title of the song.

“What’s the name of this song?” Lin Chen asked.

Liu Anyao replied: “On the Qingming Rain.”

“Yes, I remember.” Lin Chen nodded: “I didn’t expect you to still like Xu Song’s songs. After all, people in the class don’t listen to his songs very much.”

Liu Anyao explained: “His songs can calm people’s hearts, and they are not what most people like. You have to like them. The best that suits you is the best.”

After Lin Chen listened, he nodded thoughtfully: “That’s right, I understand.”

Liu Anyao laughed: “What do you understand?”

“You are very different, very special.” Lin Chen replied.

“Special?” Liu Anyao shrugged after hearing this: “But it is because of being special that I don’t have any friends around me.”

Lin Chen shook his head: “No, no, it’s just that they don’t know how to communicate with you.”

“Oh?” Liu Anyao looked at him, “So, you have mastered the method of communicating with me?”

“Of course.” Lin Chen said to himself.

“Actually, I always have a question I want to ask you.”

Suddenly, Liu Anyao asked about Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at her and saw that she looked at herself with a serious face, it seemed that the question was very formal.

[Should not…]

Lin Chen asked nervously, “You said.”

“Do you guys like girls who speak softly and have a soft temper?” Liu Anyao asked suddenly.

Lin Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said, “It’s not necessarily. Some boys like to be outgoing, some boys are more protective and like soft girls, and some are more accepting, and they like the queen-sister type.”

After Liu Anyao heard this, she suddenly realized.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Chen asked back.

Liu Anyao shook her head: “It’s okay, I’m just curious.”

Lin Chen didn’t continue to ask more questions.

In fact, Liu Anyao got bored on the Internet before going to bed last night.

When she saw an article, she was attracted by the content inside.

[What kind of girls are most attractive to boys?

① Girls with interesting personality, sometimes gentle and quiet, sometimes lively and noisy.

②Girls are full of sense, are good at observing words and colors, and are always “optimistic” girls

③It can be salty or sweet, has a sentimental atmosphere, and pays attention to the sense of ritual…]

Liu Anyao looked around and seemed to find that there was no match.

But she didn’t care too much, after all, she did.

It’s just that she was curious, why Lin Chen didn’t choose them with so many girls in the class, instead, she asked herself to go to the playground this weekend.

Could it be…

Liu Anyao didn’t dare to think further.

She thought it was unlikely.

Lin Chen is not only in Class 1, but even in the whole year, many girls like him.

How could he like a strange self.

[I must be thinking too much. 】

Liu Anyao comforted herself so.

But driven by curiosity, she still asked Lin Chen that question.

That’s what type of girl boys like.

[Although I don’t fall in love, it’s always okay to know these? 】

Before Liu Anyao asked Lin Chen, that was what she thought.

After learning Lin Chen’s point of view, Liu Anyao was thoughtful.

Begin to understand what is called radish and green vegetables have their own love.

The time is not fast or slow, and the bus stopped during the conversation.

“Happy Valley Station is here. Passengers who need to get off please go to the back door and get off.”

When Lin Chen heard this, he said quickly: “Hurry up, let’s get out of the car.”

“Okay.” Liu Anyao followed his footsteps and got out of the car.

When they got out of the car, they saw that everyone around was walking in the same direction.

Lin Chen looked up and saw the three characters “Happy Valley” not far away.

“Let’s go.” Lin Chen exhorted: “If there are too many people in the meeting, follow up closely. You can drag my clothes.”

Although Liu Anyao wanted to complain, she was not a child, but after hearing his warning, she still answered honestly: “Okay.”

The two of them were on the way to the past, and the publicity of Happy Valley was also broadcast on the side.

“Happy Valley is composed of seven cultural themed areas, such as’Fjord Forest, Aegean Harbor, Lost Maya, Shangri-La, Ant Kingdom, Atlantis, Happy Hour’, etc., through thematic cultural packaging and story interpretation, with architecture and sculpture , Gardens, murals, performances, amusement and many other forms, showing visitors a colorful earth ecological environment and regional culture…”

This passage is enough to make the surrounding children excited, wanting to rush in and play quickly.

Lin Chen came to the ticket office and lined up patiently.

A young girl in front of the line said directly to the window: “Auntie, come, and ask for two student tickets.”

The waiter didn’t lift his head, and said calmly: “There are no student tickets for this weekend, only adult tickets! Would you like?”

“want.”

“Boom boom boom!”

After several stamps, the window attendant handed her two tickets.

After a while, it was Lin Chen’s turn.

Liu Anyao on the side was watching.

I saw Lin Chen say to the middle-aged woman inside: “Sister, don’t you have no student tickets on weekends?”

When the window attendant heard this name, he raised his head and said, “Yes, are you students?”

“Yes, we are high school students.” Lin Chen said, “Then we need adult tickets.”

“Um.”

The waiter took the seal and affixed it a few more times, and then handed Lin Chen two tickets.

But just as Lin Chen was about to leave, the waiter handed out two more coupons and said: “This is a 20 yuan coupon for the traffic in the park, and I will compensate you.”

“Thank you sister.” Lin Chen saw that this was a surprise, so he accepted it.

All this was seen by Liu Anyao.

After Lin Chen walked out, Liu Anyao said her doubts.

“Why the girl in front of you is also a student, but there is no coupon for compensation, but we have it?” Liu Anyao asked.

Lin Chen paused, then smiled: “Maybe we are more fortunate. Let’s go, let’s enter the garden.”

With that said, the two checked their tickets and entered Happy Valley.

As soon as he entered, Liu Anyao was attracted by the surrounding large amusement facilities.

Lin Chen came to Happy Valley for the first time. He looked up at the roller coaster not far away, but was a little surprised: “So high?”

Lin Chen asked Liu Anyao: “Which one should we play?”

“Emmm…” Liu Anyao looked around, and finally aimed at the ice cream shop over there.

“I want to eat ice cream.” Liu Anyao replied.

Lin Chen nodded: “Then let’s go and eat ice cream.”

“Boss, how much do these two ice creams cost?” Lin Chen asked Liu Anyao to ask the boss.

Seeing someone buying ice cream, the boss immediately stood up and explained: “These two cones are fifteen yuan.”

“A seven-dollar five?” Liu Anyao was a little surprised.

The boss nodded: “This is Wuyang, very expensive.”

Liu Anyao looked at Lin Chen and muttered softly: “Let’s go, no more.”

“It’s all here, it’s okay, boss, we want these two cones.” With that, Lin Chen took out fifteen yuan and handed it to the boss.

After paying the money, Lin Chen handed Liu Anyao a cone.

Liu Anyao looked at the ice cream in her hand, and said distressedly: “This canteen in the school is only three and a half dollars…”

“Oh, it’s more expensive in the amusement park. It’s okay, just be happy.” Lin Chen comforted.

Liu Anyao frowned slightly, and after tearing open the paper from the cone, he took a bite.

Lin Chen asked, “How is it? Is it delicious?”

“Delicious is delicious, but it hurts.” Liu Anyao murmured: “I wouldn’t have said to eat ice cream if I knew it.”

“Seriously, if I have money in the future, I will open a small shop in the scenic area or in the amusement park. The price is the same as outside, and I won’t kill the tourists.” Liu Anyao licked the ice cream and looked forward to it.

When Lin Chen saw her licking ice cream, the look of the cute little girl slowly emerged.

He then smiled and said: “You, you still read books honestly, and then you buy a playground, and you will play for them for free when that time comes.”

“Pouch.”

Liu Anyao smiled speechlessly: “I know myself, but I don’t have that much money.”

“Well, how about we go straight along this road and play whatever we see?” Lin Chen suggested.

Liu Anyao nodded and agreed.

At the same time, Lin Chen asked Liu Anyao to put down the backpack.

Liu Anyao was a little puzzled and said: “What’s the matter?”

“I’ll carry it, I’m afraid you are too tired.” Lin Chen said, and took the backpack.

Liu Anyao looked at him carrying the little girl’s backpack and couldn’t help but laugh.

At this moment, she also happened to see that a boy was holding another girl’s backpack next to him, and the girl was holding the boy’s hand with both hands.

Liu Anyao looked at Lin Chen again and found that he was behaving like that boy.

[No, we are not in love, we are just coming out to relax. 】

Liu Anyao reminded herself again.

But when she left, she couldn’t help but look back at the couple.

I saw that girl was talking while looking at her boyfriend.

He was all in that eye.

[It turns out that this is how you like someone. 】

Just when Liu Anyao was distracted, Lin Chen called her: “An Yao, or let’s play this in the first level.”

Liu Anyao turned her head and followed Lin Chen’s direction, a little surprised.

Because the rides in front of you are roller coasters.

And this roller coaster is also the signature of Hongcheng Happy Valley.

Lin Chen asked, “Dare you?”

Liu Anyao has never played a roller coaster.

So it’s not clear whether you dare or not.

But since the money has been spent to come in, it must be worth the money.

So Liu Anyao nodded and said, “Dare, wait for me, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you here.” Lin Chen responded.

Liu Anyao looked around, saw a toilet sign, and walked along the route.

Not long after walking, she saw a bathroom and then walked in.

Since you want to play a roller coaster, you have to pack lightly.

I’m afraid that if I’m too scared, the tourists on the ground will think it’s raining.

Three minutes later, Liu Anyao walked out of the bathroom.

She washed her face, then looked in the mirror, and plucked up the courage to go out.

She felt that the roller coaster should not be difficult for her.

Get out of the bathroom and return along the road just now.

Just when she reached the roller coaster queue, she heard a boy next to her yelling non-stop: “Poke you to death! Poke you to death!”

Out of curiosity, Liu Anyao looked to the side.

I saw a boy of about seven years old holding a small branch, constantly poking something into the corner.

Liu Anyao took the first two steps and looked over.

She found that the little boy was holding a branch and poking the kitten in the corner.

The kitten is not big, it looks like it was just born about a month ago.

It curled up in the corner, whining constantly.

And the little boy ignored the cat’s crying, just gratefully, holding the twig and poking it towards the kitten’s abdomen.

Liu Anyao saw it and immediately stopped and said, “Little brother, you can’t do this.”

When the little boy heard this, he turned his head, looked at Liu Anyao and said, “It’s up to you!”

As he said, he continued to hold the branch, wanting to poke it.

Liu Anyao took a look and snatched the little boy’s branch directly.

Seeing Liu Anyao snatched his branch, the little boy was so angry he threw a punch at her directly.

And his height plus the length of his arms just reached the height of Liu Anyao’s chest.

So when the little boy fisted over, Liu Anyao instinctively waved his hand.

As a result, the little boy fell to the ground.

At this moment, the little boy began to cry.

Seeing him crying, Liu Anyao felt angry.

At first, she wanted to teach him a lesson, but she didn’t know where to start.

At this time, a middle-aged woman who heard the cry came hurriedly over.

She hurriedly helped the little boy, and then cared: “Haohao, what’s the matter with you?”

“Mom, she hit me.” The little boy cried, and pointed at Liu Anyao.

The middle-aged woman followed the direction of the boy’s finger and looked at Liu Anyao.

And seeing her holding a branch in her hand, she became angry for a while: “Why are you hitting my son?”

“I didn’t beat your son.” Liu Anyao explained immediately: “He has been poking the kitten in the corner with this branch. I saw it and stopped him, but he didn’t listen to him repeatedly.”

When the middle-aged woman heard it, she looked to the corner.

There was indeed a kitten in the corner, curled up in the corner.

She lowered her head and asked the little boy: “Is it like this? Hao Hao.”

The little boy was also clever, so he kept crying without talking.

Middle-aged women feel more distressed.

It seemed that he couldn’t see a tear of his precious son.

At this time, Lin Chen stood at the queue and waited for a long time.

Seeing that Liu Anyao had not come, he wondered if he would get lost.

So he walked along the direction of the bathroom.

When he saw Liu Anyao talking with a middle-aged woman, he immediately asked: “An Yao, what’s wrong?”

Liu Anyao calmly said, “There was a child who kept poking the little cat with a branch, but I stopped him, and now he is crying.”

Lin Chen looked at the boy, saw the boy peek at Lin Chen secretly, and then started crying again.

He seems to know that as long as he hides in his mother’s arms, he is not afraid of the sky.

Lin Chen knew that the boy in front of him was nothing but a bear kid.

As long as you get into trouble, just throw all the pot out.

What should we do with this kind of bear child?

The best way is to pet him.

This can ruin him.

So Lin Chen said, “Children, you are not allowed to poke cats with branches.”

He then looked at Liu Anyao and said, “Let’s go.”

Seeing that the little boy should not dare to poke the cat anymore, Liu Anyao turned and prepared to leave.

At this time, the middle-aged woman called Liu Anyao: “Little girl, my son may not be sensible just now, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, you can tell him so that he will not hurt small animals indiscriminately in the future.” Liu Anyao saw that the cat was fine, so he didn’t take this matter to heart.

But the next second, the woman said, “If this is the case, should you apologize to my son? After all, you brought him down.”

Lin Chen:? ? ?

Liu Anyao:? ? ?

Lin Chen didn’t expect that she would say so.

Liu Anyao was also unexpected.

She was a little surprised: “I apologize?”

“Yes, I apologized to you, then, as a young man, shouldn’t you let the child apologize to him?” What the middle-aged woman said seemed reasonable.

But both Lin Chen and Liu Anyao knew that she just wanted to make her son happy through their apology.

After Liu Anyao heard this, she came to the corner with a smile, first touched the cat’s head tentatively, and then said to the middle-aged woman: “Then you apologize to me, because your son poked the kitten. He should be asked to apologize to the kitten. If he apologizes, I will naturally apologize.”

“You…” The middle-aged woman frowned suddenly.

Seeing this, the little boy started crying again: “Mom!!!”

“Go, go!” The middle-aged woman seemed to be too lazy to care about this, so she quickly led the little boy away.

After the little boy left, Liu Anyao turned her head and looked at the kitten, seeing that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and said distressedly: “Kitten, it’s okay, you hurry to hide, there are too many people now.”

Seeing her look full of love, Lin Chen took out the sausage from her bag, and after torn the bag, he handed it to Liu Anyao and said, “An Yao, here.”

Liu Anyao turned around and saw the sausage Lin Chen handed over, and thanked: “Thank you.”

As she said, she broke the sausage into several pieces and put them in front of the kitty.

The kitten smelled it first, and then ate it at last.

Liu Anyao looked at the speed at which it ate, and was a little bit hungry.

So she turned to look at Lin Chen and said, “Could you have another one.”

“Okay.” Lin Chen took out another one as he said.

In this way, the kitten who ate two ham sausages was finally not so hungry.

Liu Anyao was worried that it could not find anything to eat, so before leaving, she put an extra ham sausage in the grass.

After getting everything done, she left with peace of mind.

Walking on the road, Liu Anyao thanked Lin Chen, “Thank you.”

“What are you thankful for? There are only a few ham sausages.” Lin Chen happily.

He couldn’t help but admire Liu Anyao: “When I first heard that woman asked you to apologize, I wanted to argue with her directly, but I didn’t expect you to directly treat her as a person.”

“In fact, I didn’t expect her to say that, so when I heard it, I subconsciously said it.” Liu Anyao explained.

Soon, the two of them came to the queue of the roller coaster.

Lin Chen asked, “Are you sure you want to play?”

“Hmm.” Liu Anyao nodded.

Lin Chen saw that she had always been bold and assertive, so there shouldn’t be much problem with playing the roller coaster.

After passing through the line, the two walked to the aisle of the roller coaster and waited.

Soon, a roller coaster returned to its original point.

The tourists sitting on it all blew their hairs disheveled, and even several girls were still crying and howling when they arrived at the station.

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help swallowing.

After all, he still has a fear of heights.

After a while, the staff let the tourists off the bus, and then let the people waiting in line sit on it.

Liu Anyao and Lin Chen also sat on it.

As soon as he sat down, Lin Chen fastened his seat belt.

Not only that, he also exhorted: “An Yao, hurry up and fasten your seat belt.”

Liu Anyao took the straps on both sides of the seat and buckled it immediately.

But she found that she couldn’t buckle.

So she said: “I don’t seem to be able to buckle.”

“Can’t buckle?” Lin Chen leaned sideways and tied it to her.

When Liu Anyao saw him helping herself to tie, she also subconsciously closed her abdomen.

Even if you don’t have fat on your stomach, you still have to show your perfect side in front of the opposite sex.

Lin Chen first pressed the buckle of the belt, and then buckled it hard.

“It’s buckled.”

As a result, at the moment of buckle.

Lin Chen accidentally touched the valley between the peaks with his elbow because he was too close to Liu Anyao.

With this touch, Lin Chen paused.

[It’s over. 】

【this……】

He had to sit back in his seat awkwardly, and then said, “It’s already fastened.”

And how could Liu Anyao not know the good things his elbows did.

But she didn’t take it too seriously.

After all… he is helping himself to wear a seat belt.

Nor is it intentional.

The two fell into a little embarrassment for a while.

Fallen into a silence of thirty seconds.

After the roller coaster started to move, the two men began to talk.

“The car is about to drive.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Are you nervous?”

“not nervous.”

“It’s okay. If you get nervous later, just scream, the louder you are, the less nervous you will be.”

“I won’t call it.”

When Liu Anyao walked out of the roller coaster slowly, she obviously felt her heartbeat speed up.

And Lin Chen suddenly became nervous.

He even thinks that the person who can scream will be him. After all, Liu Anyao has always been so bold. It shouldn’t be difficult for her to ride a roller coaster.

I only saw the roller coaster slowly climbing up.

The other tourists on the same roller coaster also cheered.

“Yeah~~”

“Hey, I’m not afraid at all.”

“Mom, my mother, I’m scared!!”

There are all kinds of voices.

As the roller coaster climbs higher and higher, many people are beginning to get scared.

“Fuck, how do you feel vertical!”

“Yeah, my mother, will you not rush down directly later.”

“What do you mean?!”

Liu Anyao also looked at the track in front of her closely at this time, her breathing visibly tightened.

She swallowed at this time, and said nervously, “Lin Chen, are you afraid?”

Lin Chen also told the truth, “I have a little bit.”

“Me too……”

Finally, the roller coaster slowed down and seemed to have reached its highest point.

At this moment, Liu Anyao suddenly said, “Lin Chen, wait a minute…”

At this time, the roller coaster seemed to be derailed, rushing straight down.

“what!!!!”

“Fuck!!!”

“Ah ah ah ah, what ah ah ah!!!”

All of a sudden, most of the tourists on the roller coaster screamed.

The roller coaster rushes straight down at an angle close to vertical.

This state of almost weightlessness caused Lin Chen to be confused.

He even feels that he can experience the feeling of bungee jumping after playing a roller coaster.

He clenched his teeth and clenched his hands.

I have to say that the excitement of this roller coaster far exceeds his imagination.

Just when he wanted to take a look at Liu Anyao’s situation, there was a high-decibel shout next to him.

“Ahhhhh…”

That’s right, it was from Liu Anyao.

It can be said that it was screaming.

Lin Chen didn’t expect Liu Anyao to shout out.

He turned his head to look at Liu Anyao, only to see her closing her eyes, shouting while lowering her head.

It seems to be uncomfortable.

After the roller coaster rushed down, it immediately rose again, and then took another turn.

Then he drove slowly at the highest point.

It seems to be a buffer of time for the group of eclipsed tourists just now.

At this time, Liu Anyao was panting.

After she looked around and made sure that she hadn’t fallen, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she saw that she was hundreds of meters high in the air, the feeling of fear suddenly came again.

She looked at Lin Chen and just wanted to speak.

The roller coaster did not give her this opportunity.

Dive directly again, rushing directly towards the ground.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

“Fuck!”

“Fuck! Damn, ah ah ah!!!”

Everyone is crying and howling again.

Lin Chen was also shocked by the weightlessness this time and time again.

When he was in a panic, something seemed to be stuffed into his right hand.

soft.

It seems to be a hand.

No matter what, just grab it and talk about it!

So he grabbed it hard, never daring to open his eyes.

And the roller coaster journey is only halfway through.

In the remaining half of the process, there was endless dry howling again.

Finally, the speed of the roller coaster slowed down.

This time, it was not to prepare for the dive.

It’s really over.

The roller coaster slowly entered the original site.

The tourists sitting on it are no different from the passengers just now.

Many people have disheveled hair, white lips, and even retching.

Lin Chen also eased, panting, and vomiting: “This roller coaster… is too exciting.”

With that said, he thought of Liu Anyao.

So he looked back quickly.

Liu Anyao’s hair was scattered in front of her forehead, and she sat there in shock ~www.mtlnovel.com~ her eyes were a little dull.

Lin Chen immediately asked, “An Yao, are you okay?”

Liu Anyao shook her head, panting in tandem with her chest: “No, it’s okay, it’s just a bit…irritating.”

She wanted to take off her seat belt and quickly leave this place.

But she found that her hand seemed to be holding something.

She turned her head and found that she was holding Lin Chen’s hand.

Lin Chen also discovered this time!

He had been holding Liu Anyao’s hand.

As early as the roller coaster, I started to take it!

He only reacted now, at the time he was still wondering what was so soft and so slippery.

But because at that time, he was focused on the excitement of the roller coaster, so he didn’t care at all.

Lin Chen immediately released her hand, and then apologized: “I’m sorry, I don’t know when…”

Liu Anyao shook her head and said, “It’s okay.”

In fact, the reason why she said it was okay is because it was Lin Chen who held her hand, which gave her a sense of security, so that she would not be so embarrassed in the roller coaster in the latter half of the journey.

Although she didn’t know that Lin Chen was holding her, she always felt that her hand was being grasped by something, and she felt a sense of steadfast security.

After Lin Chen unfastened his seat belt, he stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

But Liu Anyao was still sitting in the roller coaster, a little embarrassed.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Chen asked.

“Can you help me, my leg…”

Liu Anyao blushed and said shyly: “It’s soft…”
