Jiang Ye looked at him and was silent for a moment.
Then, she said, "You did encounter a ghost, and you have done nothing wrong. As for why the female ghost targeted you, it's because of human jealousy."
Human jealousy?
The boy and his fellow water friends were all very confused.
Netizens quickly asked in the barrage, and the boy immediately asked: "Master Jiang, what do you mean by this? People are jealous. Is there anyone who is jealous of me?"
But even if someone is jealous of him, it wouldn't be enough to drive a female ghost to target him, right?
He asked himself if there was anyone he knew who was as capable as him.
"...It's not the female ghost he drives, but the female ghost he plots against." Jiang Ye answered the confusion in his heart.
The boy was stunned.
Jiang Ye continued, "You were born into a family with loving family and plenty of material comforts. You also have a natural talent for studying. From childhood to adulthood, you can almost say you've never experienced any setbacks."
"You have a very lucky and happy life, but—"
"There are always many people in this world who have bad or even miserable fates, and your friend is one of them."
His friend?
The boy's eyes widened instantly.
He looked at Jiang Ye, his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely guessed something.
The netizens immediately "suddenly realized".
The barrage was full of heated discussions.
Jiang Ye's voice continued to ring out: "Compared to your good fortune, your friend's life seems very miserable."
"He lost his mother when he was born. Of course, it wasn't because she died, but because she couldn't stand the harsh conditions in the local village. So, when his father went out to work, his mother took all the money in the family and left."
"Once his mother left, there was no one to take care of the family. If he was the only child, it wouldn't be such a desperate situation, but he has three older brothers, and all of them are young. The oldest is only six years old."
"Faced with such a desperate situation, his father simply gave up and only fed him some rice soup and water every day. This resulted in him being malnourished as a child and growing up to be short, even slightly shorter."
"I won't go into the hardships he faced growing up. In short, he never enjoyed a single day of leisure. But it was precisely because of this that he was more mature than his peers. He knew from a very young age that he had to work hard."
"At every stage of his studies, he set goals for himself, and ultimately, through his unremitting hard work and perseverance, he successfully entered university."
"But after entering university, he saw that almost everyone had a lot of living expenses every month and everyone was dressed beautifully, which affected his mentality. But he didn't care much about this influence at first, after all, he had been through so many years."
"What really made him care and feel jealous was meeting you."
Met him...
The boy, who had already vaguely guessed what was going on, felt his heart tighten after hearing this.
Maybe it's just like what the host said, he has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child, so he never thinks too much when getting along with others, and is very honest and straightforward.
but--
Perhaps it was because of his honesty and straightforwardness, and his complete lack of reservation in front of his friends, that led to...his jealousy?
"You two met while getting food in the cafeteria."
Jiang Ye glanced at him and, as if confirming what he was thinking, said, "He stood at the cafeteria's food window for a long time, but he didn't swipe his card to get food. Many people looked at him, and some even laughed at him, asking if his food card was out of money."
"That guy started it, and the others followed suit, chatting and laughing, but no one stepped forward to help him swipe his card. Just then, you stepped forward, swiped his card without saying a word, and ordered a few dishes for him."
"Besides, you even invited him to sit with you. He was grateful to you at the time, but when he noticed that everyone fell silent after seeing you, and you were wearing all these designer clothes, he actually felt uncomfortable."
"But you didn't realize that, and he really didn't have enough money for that month's living expenses, so he needed someone to pay for it. So he started chatting with you and gradually became your friend."
"You come from a wealthy family and are well-known in school as a wealthy second-generation. After becoming your friend, his life is no longer tight, and he even has some extra money."
"He was very satisfied and enjoyed it all, but this satisfaction and enjoyment disappeared when you invited him to a dinner party."
Dinner party?
The boy suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Ye: "Master Jiang, are you talking about the incident half a month ago? In the cafeteria outside the school?"
"Yes." Jiang Ye nodded at him and gave him an affirmative answer.
In an instant, the boy's wide eyes drooped, and he never expected it.
Pain filled his expression. "It really was that time! I heard someone humiliated him at a dinner party after I went to the bathroom. They said he was able to eat, drink and have fun like he did because he was hooked up with me and that I was giving him charity."
"But that's not the case. I found him as soon as I heard about it and explained it to him. I even went to find those people on his behalf and asked them to apologize to him. I really did consider him a friend..."
The more he spoke, the more painful the boy looked.
A friend whom he regarded as his best friend, but she was jealous of him for some things that didn't exist at all, and even plotted against the female ghost to kill him!
He, he... he was really upset and devastated.
“…” The netizens stopped typing and sighed silently in their hearts.
As expected, they just said, this little brother is really too naive.
Does he think that if he is nice to others, they will definitely appreciate it?
Not to mention a person with a dark mind, even an ordinary normal person will experience psychological changes after being exposed to a level that he cannot reach for a long time.
But this little brother didn't realize it at all.
So simple and cute.
"You considered him a friend, but he never considered you a friend."
Jiang Ye looked at him: "In his heart, just like what those people said at the dinner party, he just thinks that the reason you are so nice to him is because you want him to be your supporting role, to use him, the ugly duckling, to highlight your nobility."
"He believed this in his heart from the beginning to the end."
"It's just that at first he still needed to cling to you and rely on you to get by. Later, as he gradually had some extra money and no longer needed to rely on you, he couldn't stand hearing someone openly say what he thought in his heart anymore."
"The jealousy in my heart is ready to explode."
Swish——
The boy's face turned even paler, and even with his head lowered, one could feel the despair in his heart through his slightly trembling hands.
Jiang Ye saw this and seemed to sigh, but he finally continued: "Driven by jealousy, he thought of a legend in the school long ago, and then-"
“He started planning.”
