Chapter 155: Invisible Pretense, the Most Deadly

Yan Shu shouted at them, "Get up! Are you still lying on the ground pretending to say your last words? Don't you want to take revenge on that scumbag?"

Zhen Xia got up with a grunt, "How to take revenge? He is rich and powerful, and even his lackeys are not short of money. I am just a commoner, and it is indeed unworthy of me to marry him."

"I always feel that there is a huge gap between our social statuses, and what they say about me is not unreasonable. I can just let them scold me. It's just a little bit of grievance, and I can get over it by just enduring it."

"But I didn't know that too much grievance accumulated would kill people. I occasionally think about how I wasn't like this before. Although my family didn't have a lot of money, I never lacked for anything in my life. I used to be very contented."

"I can't even figure out why I have become so self-deprecating and self-pitying."

Qiu Tingxu patted his shoulder and sighed, "Silly boy, you are under mental control. Through constant attacks and belittling, your self-confidence is shattered bit by bit, which further makes you doubt yourself and feel inferior."

"Our netizens call this process PUA. Do scumbags often say things like you are so bad that no one else wants you except me?"

Zhen Xia was shocked and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes. He also said that the public's eyes are sharp. My friends all know that you are not that good, but I still like you. So you see how much I love you."

"There are so many beautiful men and women in my circle, but I chose you. Aren't you satisfied?"

"Don't think too much. Go to bed early. That woman is my half-sister."

…

"It's been countless times. He made me feel very insecure, but I didn't dare to question him because he always had a reason to shut me up."

"But I like him. I feel like he is my life. I can't live without him. In the end, I can only give up myself."

"Am I useless and a coward?"

He has become accustomed to criticizing himself, and this state is indeed fatal.

Fortunately, there are still people who think he is a good person. Qiu Tingxu glanced at Xing Yun'er and saw that this person was caringly straightening Zhen Xia's body and lifting his chin so that he would not hunch his head and chest.

"Senior, didn't you hear what I just said? You are very good. You are the best person in my heart!"

"A healthy relationship requires mutual encouragement. If he only knows how to suppress you to elevate himself, it only means that he doesn't love you, not that you are unworthy."

"Let's go find them and ask them to apologize to you, okay?"

Zhen Xia felt like he had lost face. "But...but I clearly said I was going to commit suicide, and now I didn't die. I'm so embarrassed..."

Xing Yuner took a deep breath, her eyes turned red, and she finally couldn't help hugging him, "My senior, that was you asking for help, your last cry before you completely gave up on yourself..."

"You survived, which means someone cares about you. The suicide attempt failed. For someone who wanted to be rescued in the first place, this is luck, not shame."

"Senior, I will always be proud of you because you are kind. I didn't fall in love with you at first sight, but the more I get to know you, the more I like you."

"You never hurt anyone. I think your reply to me on the campus wall was probably your most vicious thought. But you are such a kind person, it is impossible for you to become a ghost, you know?"

Qiu Tingxu added silently: "He just asked me to break up with Xu Yansheng right there? This old man is so vicious."

Zhen Xia's pretty face turned red, and she remembered what she had just said. She stammered, "I'm sorry, I often see you on the wall. Before I died, I was on my phone and saw you again. You two are such a good match. There's light in both of your eyes, which makes me feel jealous and sad. I'm not usually like this..."

Qiu Tingxu snorted: "Well, I don't blame you, but you scared my Master Yan. He even wanted to sit on the railing with you to enjoy the scenery."

Zhen Xia scratched his face, "Breaking up... is that it? I didn't realize he was so love-brained."

As soon as he said this, the four people's eight eyes stared at him, as if saying: How dare you say such a thing?

Zhen Xia understood what they meant and became even more embarrassed. "It's not that I haven't mentioned breaking up. I mentioned it several times before when I wanted to get out of this emotional quagmire. But he threatened me, saying that he loved me so much that he even recorded our intimate moments. If I break up, I will be sorry for him. I don't know what he will do when he is impulsive."

"I...I don't dare to take the risk. I'm usually so well behaved. My family will definitely not accept it if they know."

Yan Shu said sarcastically: "If you dare to climb such a high building, what else are you afraid of?"

"He also filmed a video to threaten you? Tell him that China has its own criminal law and that he is very criminal for having such thoughts."

Several people walked into the elevator. The wall of the elevator was like a mirror, reflecting the people very clearly. Zhen Xia subconsciously lowered his head and didn't look at the mirror.

Qiu Tingxu asked Yan Shu: "Why are you handling this matter? What about the school?"

Yan Shu said impatiently: "I drove them away. They didn't know how to persuade people. All they kept saying was think about your family. They worked so hard to raise you. It was not easy for you to get into college. Don't think about it and hurt their feelings..."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but apart from those who died heroically for love, most of the young people in Zisha were forced to death by their own families. Why are you still mentioning your family and parents at this time? Are you afraid that others won't jump fast enough?"

He glanced at Zhen Xia who was secretly looking at him, and curled his lips: "Most of them, not including you, there are still some people whose original families have no problems, but there are so many reasons for purple sand in this world, and the ones that cannot be mentioned the most are family and love."

"It's often the people closest to you who hurt you the most. I don't like people making a fuss about my family."

Qiu Tingxu's ears smelled gossip again, and he came over and asked, "Tell me more about it."

Yan Shu pushed him away with a slap and said mercilessly: "Open up your uncle, I can open my legs and fists to you, do you want to try?"

Qiu Tingxu was not interested and shushed him, "Tsk, if you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Why are you like a violent person? No wonder Brother Han doesn't like to talk to you. You look like a domestic violence person."

Although this was said jokingly, it is a bit like judging people by their appearance.

Yan Shu also knew that he was joking and glanced at him: "If you post this sentence online, you will be criticized to death by righteous netizens, do you know?"

"Also, would I domestically abuse Han Yun? He domestically abused me, it's almost like he had a scalpel hidden in his socks!"

Qiu Tingxu didn't understand: "What if he takes the subway or the plane? Can he pass the security check?"

Yan Shu snorted and laughed: "Of course not. No one has the privilege of carrying a knife on this kind of public transportation. But who told you that he needs to take public transportation?"

Qiu Tingxu's mind turned and he figured it out: "... Tsk."

Invisible pretense is the most deadly.
