Chapter 466: Impermanent Things, Colorful Voices (4)
This world is very strange. People say that men and women are the same, but at the same time they don’t allow women’s intelligence to be used “in inappropriate places.”
Girls with good grades can do it; girls who can talk can't.
Pride and Prejudice seems to be an eternal theme. A large number of people believe that the keywords "weak", "innocent", "sensible", "smart" and "beautiful" should not be concentrated on women. If they are, That must be the woman's fault, so she became the so-called "bad woman".
This means that weak girls must be obedient and obedient. They may be gentle or cute, but they should know nothing about everything including men and women and interpersonal social interactions. They must be as pure and harmless as a piece of white paper—— If they are not like this, if they are scheming and know how to protect themselves, then the following words will be born: black lotus, scheming bitch, etc. In short, "she is not a good girl."
If such a girl still has outstanding looks, it will be even more troublesome, because "beautiful women will definitely lie to others", and lying to others is wrong, even if it is just to live a safer life for oneself, even if there is no malicious use or harm Neither can others. No matter what, they should be pure and innocent, with big breasts and no brains.
Have people noticed that the trend of thought in society has always been like this? Sometimes it transcends gender and only looks at strength; but when both genders are involved, the situation is different.
Some people called for men who are gentle, clean, and well-groomed to be called scornful. Then more people thought "he is a beauty" and "he smells so good." Then there were also people who called for my sister to be the best, strong and determined. Who doesn’t love handsome women? Sister, I am super capable!
What about my sister?
What about those younger sisters who are indeed in line with the "general girl appearance", are also very weak, and should not be criticized?
In terms of intelligence, they know how to watch what is happening and are good at protecting themselves in the face of danger, so they are labeled as "green tea". A group of people of the same or different genders smiled and pointed and said: "You see she is fishing for men again. With this Can't you work hard if you are smart? Tea, really tea!"
In terms of appearance, okay, I know you are naturally beautiful, but it makes me look ugly and inferior. You must be full of superiority, right? You must be mocking me, right? Fuck you, what a pretty sister, surrounded by a bunch of licking dogs, a bitch who doesn’t know where she came from, so slutty, you are good-looking, do you think you are great?
To a certain extent, people's good and evil are very balanced. In other words, as many people as there are people who like beautiful women in this world, there are also as many people who are willing to slander her in various ways.
Doing things everywhere, making mistakes everywhere, fearing to avoid people in society is called pretending to be aloof, releasing kindness and not being disliked is called tactful social butterfly, being able to understand people's hearts is called scheming woman, using the money you earn to buy shoes, bags and accessories is called worshiping money, knowing how to adapt to different situations Saying otherwise under different circumstances is called pretense and hypocrisy - and it is difficult to talk to others about the above, because there are some people in the world who will say:
"But you are already very beautiful! What else do you want?"
Just like a dedicated rich man whose wife died of illness and his son died young, kneeling in front of the tombstone and crying bitterly, some people will always say:
"But you are already rich! What else do you want?"
There are three things that people are most likely to envy: power, money, and face.
So over time, people who own any of these three things seem to have lost the right to express their grief. Once they are sad or collapsed, in the eyes of some people, it will automatically turn into "not satisfied" or "deserve it".
But, who in this world lives without pain?
Whose pain should be deprived and silenced by nature?
So the malice continued to create malice, and those people with power, money, and dignity who had collapsed accepted the reality, became indifferent, made themselves completely hated by others, squandered the capital they owned, and were full of condescension. With arrogance and superiority, no matter what you say or do, you will be hated by others, right? Okay, then let’s really do that! A heartless life is happier!
Therefore, the word "privilege" is getting higher and higher under the background of this phenomenon. The widening gap and the appearance of "privileged people" further arouse the jealousy and hatred of ordinary people. When these ordinary people also have at least one of the three things At that time, it gradually became what I hated the most.
The cycle of human nature is nothing more than this.
Qiao Yu spent the remaining two years of junior high school in this kind of self-destruction.
She accepted her appearance and figure that became more and more outstanding as she grew up, and was indifferent to the abuse and disdain of the girls led by Hua Ling and the obscene teasing of some male classmates. She lived like a woman who would be laughed at even if she wrote in a novel. , "the overly perfect Mary Sue heroine."
She began to study a hundred times harder, and with her grades and pleasing appearance, she became a student worthy of attention in the eyes of the teacher. In this way, she got the opportunity to go to and from school with the teacher she had a good relationship with - so that those bastard boys who really had lustful thoughts could Couldn't find a chance to hurt her.
"It's so annoying, living like a palace warrior, aren't you tired?" A bold and carefree girl in the class often commented speechlessly.
"Hey, she is a beauty, and beauties are so troubled~" Then someone laughed and said sarcastically.
It's as if everything Qiao Yu wants to avoid is something she's asking for - well, if this appearance from her parents is her problem, then she is indeed asking for it.
So Qiao Yu learned to use all her advantages as weapons.
For everyone she met, she distinguished their voices, analyzed their likes and dislikes, and tried her best to avoid being hurt or troubled.
Sounds like an over-the-top persecutory delusional person.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qiao Yu will continue to protect himself wisely, admit and accept his tacky and narrow-minded life, until he is completely sick and die of old age. In short, he will live his life as harmlessly as possible - without hurting others and not letting others hurt himself. This life.
She would rather hide her precious and rare synesthesia in her body, because it is difficult for her to live a good life before repaying society and dedicating herself.
No one can stand on the commanding heights and verbally ask a capable person to do something important for the country and the people without providing a little help and support.
A synonym for "the capable work harder" is "the weak get paid for it".
If nothing happens, Qiao Yu will live her whole life like an ordinary girl with outstanding appearance.
If nothing unexpected happens.
At the age of sixteen, the dean's grandmother was taken back by her family. The new dean told them that children over the age of sixteen must leave the orphanage.
This is not a cruel arrangement, because the new dean has contacted many parents who are willing to adopt before. Except for a few teenagers and girls, including Qiao Yu, most of the children have found adoptive parents.
While packing, Hua Ling suddenly walked in.
Qiao Yu had already heard her footsteps, stopped moving, stood up and looked over.
"Congratulations." Qiao Yu said to Hua Ling with a slight smile.
Hua Ling, whose appearance and temperament were much more mature than before, looked at her and said suddenly.
"Do you know why I didn't leave before?"
Qiao Yu knew that Hua Ling was talking about when she was five or six years old. At that time, a couple wanted to adopt her, but she refused.
"Because they want you first." Hua Ling continued, "I don't want you to pick on the remaining parents."
Qiao Yu didn't refute again, she knew that there was no use in doing such a thing.
"Congratulations," she repeated softly.
Hua Ling paused and rubbed her right foot awkwardly on the floor.
"You." She said, "Do you want to come to my house?"
"Those two people - my new parents are quite wealthy and don't mind having another child."
Qiao Yu was a little surprised. She saw the color of Hua Ling's words, and they were indeed kind.
Maybe there’s some handouts from the winners, maybe there’s some apologies and guilt, but it’s generally well-intentioned.
"No... thank you." Qiao Yu smiled.
"Are you sure?" Hua Ling didn't lose her temper because of being rejected. She looked at her with a strange expression, "I'm not telling you that you are so conspicuous that you are trying to attract others, are you sure you want to live alone?"
Qiao Yu blinked slowly.
"Well, let's try it first," she said.
"...Okay! Then, then, see you later."
Hua Ling hesitated for a while and said goodbye to her dryly.
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly stopped. Under Qiao Yu's puzzled gaze, she asked after a while:
"...Do you particularly hate me?"
Qiao Yu was stunned for a few seconds: "No."
"How, how is it possible!" Hua Ling blushed, "I obviously treat you - okay, then why don't you hate me?"
Qiao Yu lowered his eyes and whispered softly: "When the second grade school organized a spring outing, I was pushed into the pond. It was you who saved me."
She remembered the footsteps of different people. It was not Hua Ling who pushed her, but the one who took off her school uniform and ran away immediately while she was unconscious.
Hua Ling was stunned.
"It was you who saved me and gave me your school uniform jacket... wasn't it?" Qiao Yu smiled, "Thank you."
She had sighed, complained, and hated it, but the malice was very dark, and once she got used to it, she wouldn't pay special attention to it. Instead, the bright kindness left a deep impression on her.
At first, it was just because she would explode emotionally and not survive. Later, it gradually became an instinct. As part of her character, she seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. She is like a child stacking stars, collecting small kindnesses into transparent jars. Take it out and look at it from time to time.
"Oh." Hua Ling looked a little at a loss, "Oh."
Hua Ling seemed to be at a loss for what to do with the sudden thank you. She lightly stamped her foot and was about to turn around.
"...Hey, that's right."
Hua Ling turned around and then back again, with an extremely troubled expression on her face. After some mental preparation, she said, "I was the one who gave the school uniform, but the one who saved you... was you."
Qiao Yu was stunned: "What?"
"Oops! I, I can't explain!" Hua Ling tugged her hair impatiently, "I was following Kong Xiaoying at that time, but I didn't expect that she really pushed you down! I just, I wanted to save you. Yes! But I don’t know how to swim, so I can only watch you sink by the forest..."
"Then you sank, came up again, and floated to the shore. It was getting dark by then, and the teacher was still shouting. I ran over and saw that your belly was so--so big! Your eyes also popped out, it was very scary! Then, and then, you suddenly moved!"
Hua Ling shivered, with panic and confusion on her face, "You held up your upper body and vomited all the water. You looked much normal. I...I was so scared that I threw my school uniform to you and ran away quickly. .”
Qiao Yu stayed where he was, stunned by the astonishing amount of information.
The color feedback told her that Hua Ling's emotions were not disguised, and she believed from the bottom of her heart that she was telling the truth.
"So...just, you don't have to be special, just thank me."
Hua Ling's voice weakened, "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have called you a 'witch'."
"Okay, okay! I, I'm leaving, goodbye!"
She told the whole story, feeling a strange sense of relief in her panic, and trotted away without stopping this time.
Qiao Yu stood in a daze, her mind in confusion.
It wasn't Hua Ling who saved her from drowning...she herself came back to life...?
Qiao Yu unconsciously pressed her heart, and a lively beating sound came from there.
As if she "realized" what was involved in this matter, a bright and warm red flashed before her eyes.
I heard someone's strong heartbeat in my ears.
