Wen Wan silently reached out and rubbed her temples, sighed, and continued patiently: "As long as you are close to vermilion, you will be redder; if you are close to ink, you will be blacker. Since you have seen through He Yueyan, then you should stay away from her from now on."

"In the future, be discerning when making friends. Don't look for friends among the trash. Don't always compare yourself with those who are worse than you. Compare yourself with those who are better than you."

"Comparing yourself to people who are worse than you will certainly boost your confidence, but it can also cause you to ignore your own shortcomings, become blindly confident, and then continue to stagnate. You should always look up and study where you fall short compared to others. Only then can you make progress."

"Of course, I'm not saying you can't play with people who are worse than you. As long as she has good character and you feel you can get along well with her, then you can play together. Learn from others the strengths that you don't have, and you will gradually become better."

She paused at this point, then couldn't help but get a little irritated when she thought of He Yueyan. She bluntly retorted, "I don't know what you were thinking before. Someone like He Yueyan, who's bored every day, doesn't make time for herself, and only messes around, what on earth do you want to hang out with? Do you want her to instigate you to mess with me? Do you want her to use you as a tool?"

Shen Wanqing lowered her head in shame. Recalling the details of her past interactions with He Yueyan, she couldn't help but want to call herself an idiot. What He Yueyan had said before was simply fooling her like a fool, and she had actually happily believed it...

A nameless rage ignited in her heart, and she cursed silently in her heart, "He Yueyan, you stinking idiot! You bitch! You'll be a fucking biss from now on!"

She really learned a lot from Wen Wan this time. She thought she had always been a smart person, but now she found out that not only did she not understand, she was even a fool, and she was the one who was always sober.

The scene where she thought she had caught Wen Wan and was showing off to her suddenly appeared in her mind. She felt extremely ashamed. Why did the dead memories suddenly start to attack her? ! !

Shen Wanqing shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of those shameful images from her mind. Then she turned her head to meet Wen Wan's eyes and sighed, "I'll listen to what you have to say..."

Wen Wan was inexplicably relieved to hear this. This fool had finally come to his senses! It was worth all her wasting so much time and energy!

“Listening to your words is like listening to a conversation!” When she was secretly rejoicing, she suddenly heard Shen Wanqing’s next words, and the relieved expression on her face froze.

Wen Wan gave a deathly smile, raised her eyebrows slightly and said sarcastically, "You are so stupid, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense about literature to me? Why don't you go to the United States and talk to He Yueyan? Do you think she will pay attention to you?"

Shen Wanqing was afraid that she would choke to death, so she didn't dare to talk back, but just lowered her head silently.

Wen Wan continued the previous topic expressionlessly, "You say you envy me for having a good family background, but why don't you think about how I lived well, spending over a decade alone in an orphanage? I didn't have the happiness you enjoyed as a child, and you didn't have the hardships I endured as a child, so what are you envious of?"

"You said you envy me for having so many friends, right? Well, my friends didn't just appear out of thin air. They were earned through my own hard work. If you don't take the initiative, do you think they'll just come knocking on your door?"

"I'm telling you, you should always avoid useless socializing. You shouldn't be around people whose character is obviously terrible and who you can't possibly be your true friends with!"

"From what I understand, you used to have quite a few friends, right? Ever since your family fell on hard times, has anyone paid any attention to you? Has anyone taken the initiative to care about you and help you? Forget about helping, even not kicking someone when they're down is good enough!"

"He Yueyan even wants to trick you again. If she really cared about you, she would have stopped her mother long ago. Why would she let her mother continue to sue you? You are just a bunch of fake friends made through useless socializing!"

"Quality is more important than quantity in friends. If you meet someone who makes you feel comfortable and has good character, you should take the initiative and make the first move! Relationships are mutual. Return kindness with sincerity. If someone treats you well, return it twice as well, and slowly the relationship will grow stronger and stronger."

After Wen Wan finished speaking, she reached out to support her stiff neck and twisted it, only to find that the people next to her were holding up their phones and taking pictures of her seriously. It didn't look like they were taking pictures, but more like they were recording videos.

She tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

The students all said in unison, "Of course, we'll listen to your lectures, Teacher Wen!"

Wen Wan was speechless after hearing this answer. After a while, she said with mixed feelings, "Why don't you take some nice pictures of me instead of listening to me talk about philosophy? Are you trying to create a persona for me as a philosophical master?"

The people who were doing the cooking couldn't help but burst out laughing and expressed their opinions in a flurry.

"Actually, compared to life philosophy, I'd rather listen to your weird and funny literature!"

"Yes, yes, I agree! Teach us how to have a mouth like yours. With a mouth like that, you'll never be bullied!"

"You really are Wen, the master of sarcasm who has been focusing on taunting people for a hundred years! Let's start the class, Master Wen!"

Wen Wan couldn't accept it for a moment after hearing this. She asked in disbelief, "...Is this how I am in your eyes? Don't passersby think of me as 'that woman who's so sarcastic'?"

"Hahaha, that's not the case. It could also be 'that woman who's really good at fortune-telling'!"

"Or maybe 'that woman who really likes to cuddle with pretty girls'!"

"After thinking about it, it could also be 'the super-strong girl who can kill a strong man with just three punches'!"

Wen Wan rolled her eyes and almost fainted. She took a deep breath and said in despair, "What a weird image! Why don't you just kill me?"

Before anyone could reply, Chen Wanqing burst into laughter, causing Wen Wan to glare at her. "What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh at me? You're worse than me!"

Shen Wanqing quickly reached out to cover her mouth, forcing herself to stop laughing, and said with a smile and envy in her tone: "I just think that the way you get along with your fans is really good, and it makes people feel very, very happy."

"Even though you're always arguing with them, and they're always arguing with you and teasing you, I can see that you both really value each other. This feeling... is really, really good."

She was lost in thought, and suddenly thought of her former fans. They must have really liked her back then, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been desperately defending her on Weibo even after she was struck by Thor's hammer.

I don't know how sad they were at that time. She failed the fans' expectations and made herself into what she is now. In the end, she is the one who let others down. I hope there will be a chance to make amends in the future...
