Chen Tinghan was a little stunned. He didn't expect this senior student to say that. In his impression, Wang Jinling has always been a person who keeps people at a distance. She is so beautiful, but there has never been any scandal about her. He has never heard of any boy having the luck to get close to her.
After all, she is the best in the school, an all-round athlete who excels in music, dance, sports, and study. She is a true genius and a child of destiny.
A gifted child who is completely different from him... a fake.
It takes courage for ordinary people to just stand next to Wang Jinling, because her excellence reminds them all the time how ordinary they are.
She hadn't done anything, but she had already hurt Chen Tinghan's pride. He lowered his head and said bitterly, "Forget it, lest they say I'm a toad wanting to eat swan meat, wishful thinking."
Wang Jinling turned her head, her cold face showing no emotion. She said, "Who would say that?"
Chen Tinghan didn't know who he was mocking, so he smiled and said, "Classmates, teachers, a lot of people."
Wang Jinling said calmly, "Who has the final say?"
Chen Tinghan didn't understand, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What?"
"Do you really need their evaluation of you?" Wang Jinling asked.
Chen Tinghan suddenly said angrily, "Who needs it? I don't need it! I wish they would die."
Wang Jinling said, "That's fear. You're afraid that the venom they spew will destroy the person you know yourself to be. If they say you're not good enough, then you think you're not good enough. Why frame yourself in the eyes of others?"
"......" Chen Tinghan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Wang Jinling's eyebrows were like sharp swords, piercing Chen Tinghan's defenses: "Don't let them define you, let you decide for yourself."
Chen Tinghan was stunned. His mind, which had been shrouded in ignorance since he entered high school, seemed to suddenly wake up.
Chen Tinghan didn't know why Wang Jinling suddenly said these to him, and why she could see through him at a glance. After saying these words that might sound a little incomprehensible to others, she left, leaving Chen Tinghan alone.
Ever since Chen Tinghan could remember, he had been praised by those around him for being smart, clever, having excellent grades, and being able to learn things quickly. This was of course a good thing. Everyone likes to hear good words and be praised. Old Chen and Old Cheng were never stingy with praise and rewards.
It’s a pity that “perfection” is just a concept after all, and no one can avoid making mistakes.
The gap is a sharp knife, especially for those who rarely make mistakes. This knife is particularly sharp, and it not only cut Chen Tinghan, but also his parents. The two elders watched helplessly as their outstanding son was torn open and fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.
Praise turned into reprimand, carrots turned into sticks, and motivational education also took a 180-degree turn and became painful education.
He never imagined that all the praise he had ever received would be instantly transformed into an equal amount of scolding with a single failure as a turning point. This formed a quagmire, and the more he struggled in the wrong way, the faster he sank.
To this day, as Wang Jinling said, Chen Tinghan is a person who lives in the eyes of others.
This is the day when the clouds part and the fog clears.
No one knew about the conversation that took place on the rooftop of the auditorium during the graduation dance, and no one knew what it meant. As it turned out, even Wang Jinling herself could hardly remember the content of this brief conversation.
Five minutes changed two people's lives.
After the dance, he went back to the dormitory and took a nap. This was the first time in a year that he felt that his classmates and roommates were not so hateful, and it was also the first time that he had a rare good sleep.
The next day, as per school practice, the class held a brief class meeting while the students were anxiously waiting for the holiday, reminding them to be careful during the holiday, not to go to dangerous places, not to play in the water, and if they had to play, they had to be accompanied by an adult.
The meeting was not long. After the meeting, most of the students went home excitedly, but three students stayed with Chen Tinghan to tell jokes, make fun of female classmates, and tell dirty jokes in a lewd manner.
If everything was the same as usual, Chen Tinghan would just listen from the side, and if he was in a good mood he would even agree with a few words. That's probably how bad friends are.
As a result, this time, the joke without any bottom line was told to Wang Jinling, which was not surprising. After all, she was so outstanding and touching yesterday.
This time, it's different.
…
…
The reason why Wang Jinling later couldn't remember this conversation clearly was that those words were not actually said to Chen Tinghan, a stranger she had only met once, but to herself.
She sat in the car on the way home. The attention she received last night did not give her any sense of accomplishment, but instead left her with lingering frustration.
This car is one of the few places where Wang Jinling can lower her head and reveal her fatigue and weakness.
Driver Xiao Sun has been with Wang Kai for a long time. He has been responsible for picking up and dropping off Wang Jinling since she was in elementary school. When she was young, Xiao Sun could be said to be responsible for telling tales, but when she grew up, it was an undisguised surveillance. For a long time, she didn't understand why her parents knew that she was slacking off in places where they couldn't see.
But Wang Jinling also has a solution. Now that Xiao Sun is one of her own, the car has become a pure land.
Xiao Sun drove very fast and steadily, and soon he safely sent the young lady home.
He glanced through the rearview mirror, hesitated for a moment, and said worriedly, "Brother Wang and sister-in-law seem to be having a conflict recently."
"A lot of noise?"
"We had a big fight last night." Xiao Sun's eyes were a little vague. "Then Brother Wang made a phone call and left."
