Upon hearing this, they fell silent.
The girl in the lead decided to speak first: "I'm not really a fan of celebrities, and I don't really like watching variety shows... I accidentally stumbled upon the live stream, and it just so happened that you were carrying Shi Banqing on your back..."
"It's a little embarrassing to say... but I still want to say it... In my family, everyone tells me that girls should be gentle and considerate, and shouldn't do anything out of line..."
The girl stole a glance at Ye Qi and saw that Ye Qi was looking at her sincerely and without discrimination. She seemed to be emboldened: "I... I have always been a rebellious person. I do not agree with their views, but I have gone against my own beliefs for the sake of my family's expectations."
"I secretly tried to be a different version of myself... but unfortunately, I failed..."
Receiving the check gave me a unique thrill, a thrill that went against morality, a thrill that was both exciting and frightening.
Because of my rebellious nature, I felt incredibly good at doing this because it perfectly aligned with my true self!
At the same time, I'm afraid that I'll become someone my parents are ashamed of...
Just as she was struggling with whether to continue the relationship, her rich ex-boyfriend's mother stormed into her house in anger, accusing her of being a shameless slut and a gold digger. Although her ex-boyfriend immediately rushed over, pulled his mother away, and promised not to cause her any more trouble...
But her parents still found out about it.
They felt she shouldn't have committed such a shameless act of deception, and were even more ashamed of her, so they kicked her out.
At first, I was confused about whether I had done the right thing after being kicked out. I felt guilty and angry at the same time. Why should I be asked to do what they thought was right?
She locked herself in her rented room, tormented by her inner turmoil to the point of being unrecognizable.
Because of his rebellious nature and the constraints imposed by the educational philosophies he has been taught since childhood.
The tug-of-war between the two made her want to give up on herself...
I accidentally saw a private message on my phone from a friend sharing a live stream.
Just as she was about to refuse, her finger accidentally slid and tapped, and she saw Ye Qi standing in the corner.
Ye Qi has an adorable, round face and wears green panda overalls, looking like a soft, petite little girl who has accidentally wandered into the adult world.
The shortest of them instantly became a decorative element, adding a touch of pink and youthful charm to the live stream.
She thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile: This kind of girl is probably just like her, all sweet and delicate, speaking softly to please others...
She was immersed in her own world, forgetting everything, and trying to analyze herself through Ye Qi's lens.
The analysis was only halfway done.
When she saw Ye Qi break her bicycle, she thought helplessly: Sure enough... she will definitely be last.
The fact that a petite girl can't possibly win first place because she's not strong enough; the fact that a lady shouldn't fight tooth and nail to win; the fact that girls should calm their minds and nurture themselves to become more beautiful and dignified...
These stereotypes, which her parents talked about from childhood, constantly bombarded her mind.
Ironically, my rebellious nature and my unwavering belief that such an unprecedented and absurd idea was impossible were fully displayed at this moment.
Just as she was about to condemn herself for projecting such a terrible impression onto another girl, before she could even begin to blame herself, she saw Ye Qi decisively get off the car, pick up her bicycle, and run towards the finish line with her brother.
The moment I saw Ye Qi become the first to cross the finish line.
Seeing Ye Qi and the second-place winner joking around, I noticed their incredibly smug expressions.
The fragile and delicate image of "Ye Qi" that had just been established at first glance completely crumbled.
Reborn from the ground—
This is the real Ye Qi in her eyes, not the Ye Qi who is trying to wrap herself up with incorrect ideas that have been instilled in her mind!
Her seemingly strong but actually fragile heart, shattered by her parents, is being reshaped at this moment, even surpassing its original state.
The dimly lit room did not deter the girl's rekindled will to live:
Girls...
You shouldn't just be seen as weak and powerless by others!
The girl, preoccupied with her thoughts, fought back tears, struggling to control the tears that would spoil the atmosphere. She abandoned her usual perfectly crafted sweet smile, revealing a genuine, less-than-attractive one:
"Seeing you for the second time felt like a rebirth; I'm strong now!"
"So... as a loyal fan, I chose to come here!"
He wanted to take this opportunity to personally say goodbye to Ye Qi.
Ye Qi, completely bewildered, didn't understand the meaning behind the girl's words, only knowing that the other person truly liked her.
Having practiced dark magic, she can sense whether other people's emotions are genuine or not.
Ye Qi, who was being liked, smiled without any attempt to hide her joy: "Thank you!"
Upon hearing the thank you, the girl blushed instantly and touched her burning cheeks: "I should be the one thanking you..."
Ye Qi asked the girl, "May I ask your online name?"
It doesn't seem appropriate to ask for their real name directly.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard Ye Qi's words. Then, thinking of her online name, she smiled shyly: "My online name is 'Innocent Girl Top Lane Smashes the Opponent's Head'."
Others: "..."
They probably understood what the girl meant when she said, "I'm very strong now."
With that ability to swear...
How could I not be strong?
Even with several mothers, you can't protect someone as innocent as her...
Feeling affirmed, Ye Qi excitedly looked at the others.
One of the girls, with a face full of freckles, giggled and said, "The first time I saw Qiqi was when I was struggling with my thesis. I was feeling really down and couldn't cheer up at all. I was thinking of watching some short videos to lift my spirits when I happened to come across a live stream. I glanced at the stream and saw Qiqi and her teammates making a tent together..."
