When Xu Shan was insulted by Xu Zhenzhen, a boy from the class happened to be standing next to her.
The boy was introverted and had been given nicknames. He even joined others in making fun of Xu Shan in order to appear sociable.
But thinking back to what I saw in the cafeteria today, Wen Xi's words, and Xu Shan's sad and helpless look...
The boy didn't sleep well all night.
The next day was Saturday.
Because the National Day holiday starts from Sunday, classes will continue as usual on Saturday.
Before morning reading began, a boy who hadn't slept well the whole night walked up to Xu Shan.
He was the first person in the class to apologize to Xu Shan.
The girl's hurt look made him feel like a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him feel very suffocated.
At first, Xu Shan didn't know that the boy was there to apologize. When she saw him walking towards her, she reflexively shrank back.
It wasn't until the boy blushed and stammered that she realized what was going on.
He was stunned on the spot, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
After a long while, tears began to fall, and finally, she just laid down on the table and cried loudly.
More people came over to apologize and comfort.
Of course, there are still many who didn’t come.
There are always only a few people who dare to admit their mistakes.
For those who didn't come, some looked embarrassed, some didn't care, and some were indifferent.
Harsh words hurt like a cold wind in June.
However, some people are born heartless.
Naturally, they also cannot understand how teasing and making fun of others' flaws and shortcomings can cause them difficult-to-heal pain.
It wasn't until the morning reading bell rang that Xu Shan stopped crying. She looked at Wen Xi with a gloomy face and said, "Xixi, thank you."
She knew that those who came to apologize today were all because of what her deskmate said yesterday.
“No one can stand up for you forever.”
Wen Xi took out his textbook and began to recite ancient Chinese texts like a monk chanting sutras.
Xu Shan was stunned for a long time before nodding heavily: "I understand."
What my deskmate said sounded cruel, but it was the truth.
She has to stand up on her own, no one can protect her forever.
This burst of crying released the long-suppressed depression. The girl's eyes were no longer dull, but finally brightened up, regaining the liveliness that she should have at her age.

During the National Day holiday, the school was closed and Wen Xi dragged her luggage back home.
Yao Jiali and Song Qingxue, mother and daughter, took Cai Shizhen to fly to the island country overnight, and the house was finally quiet.
Without these people, Wen Xi finally felt like he was home.
Cai Shizhen had always disliked her and always liked to boss her around by relying on her status as an elder. In addition, the mother and daughter were stirring up trouble, making her often feel that this was not her home and that she was the one living under someone else's roof.
In fact, when the Song family came to live with her family, they not only helped Song Qingxue solve the enrollment problem, but also paid for them to buy a school district house near the school.
My mother planned to take care of my mother herself, and since my younger brother had his own family, it would be more convenient for them to live separately.
At the beginning, everyone discussed it well.
As a result, the Song family rented out the house after getting it and refused to leave.
Cai Shizhen even clamored that the family should live together to prevent their feelings from fading.
My parents are kind and gentle people. Thinking that the remaining guest rooms were empty anyway, they didn't say anything more.
But he didn't expect that a little kindness would turn into resentment, and in the end he would end up nurturing a tiger that would take over his nest.
Wen Xi felt sick when she thought of this ungrateful family.
In this life, she will personally expose their greedy and shameless true faces and let her parents see the truth and no longer be soft-hearted!
