Chapter 369
Su Miao gently reminded: "Jia Jia, although I don't know who said these words to you, but since she knows that your eyesight is not very good, I guess it must be someone who is very close to you and knows you very well."
She paused for a moment to collect her thoughts and continued, “Common sense suggests that as someone who knows you so well, she should be happy that you received the scholarship, but the reality is the opposite.
Not only does she think you shouldn't receive the scholarship and advise you to give up the fruits of your hard work to others, she even uses your visual impairment to attack you.
I really think you need to pay attention to this situation and not be led astray by her fallacies.
Jiajia, you must always believe that you are excellent. Every honor and every achievement you have now is earned through your own hard work, and you cannot allow others to question it."
Her long speech left Meng Jiajia and Hu Xiaodie stunned.
Meng Jiajia opened her mouth slightly, her eyes full of complicated expressions, as if she was digesting Su Miao's words.
"Am I...good?"
Meng Jiajia said in disbelief that because she had eye problems since childhood, her parents, relatives, and childhood friends have become accustomed to treating her as a person with a disability.
Because of her physical disability, everyone assumed that only by obtaining a higher education could she get better opportunities.
So when she tried her best to get good grades, everyone thought it was as she should, and her parents were relieved.
Over time, Meng Jiajia gradually developed a sense of inferiority and cowardice deep in her heart, and she did not dare to easily mention her visual impairment to others.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to tell this secret to Su Miao and Hu Xiaodie since she graduated from elementary school.
At this moment, Su Miao's words were like a ray of warm light, shining straight into the deepest part of her heart, making her nose feel a little sour.
She kept asking herself: So, am I really that good? Has anyone really noticed all the hard work I've put in over the years?
Su Miao seemed to see through her inner struggle and nodded seriously. His eyes were firm and gentle. He looked at her and said, "Yes, Jia Jia, you are very good. You have excellent grades, a gentle personality, and are friendly and patient. I am honored to be your friend."
Hu Xiaodie also hugged Meng Jiajia and said with a smile, "And me, I'm happy to be your friend too. Don't worry about it! If anyone says anything bad about you in the future, just give her a hammer and ignore her!"
Meng Jiajia was about to shed tears when Hu Xiaodie's words stopped her. She said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Xiaodie, you look nothing like your name."
Seeing that she had been coaxed into submission, Hu Xiaodie and Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her towards the school gate.
Su Miao said excitedly: "To celebrate Jia Jia regaining her confidence, I invite you to dinner at my house. You can order whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaodie jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly, "Great! I want to eat braised chicken feet! I ate them last time when you brought them to school, and I still remember it!"
Su Miao smiled and nodded, saying generously, "Sure, sure, plenty of chicken feet."
Meng Jiajia was moved by the energetic two people and couldn't help but say, "Su Miao, you know what? You seemed to be glowing just now! And you still seem to be glowing now!"
The three girls hugged each other and walked forward talking and laughing.
At this moment, the setting sun shone gently in front of them, and the orange-red afterglow sprinkled on them, casting their long shadows in the corridor.
…
The cold air arrived without warning, and the temperature dropped by 10℃ overnight. Nanning once again experienced the "joy" of entering winter in an instant.
Originally, everyone was discussing that this year would be a warm winter. During those days, the temperature at noon could reach 20 degrees Celsius every day.
People wearing a sweater may even feel a little hot when walking outdoors, but who would have thought that this warm weather would be fleeting.
No one dared to say such arrogant words at this moment. Everyone was wearing autumn clothes, autumn trousers, sweaters and cotton coats. Especially the children, who were wrapped up by their parents like round dumplings.
Looking at the gloomy sky, everyone began to miss the sunny weather a while ago. They wore less clothes and were more convenient to move around.
The sudden temperature changes, like a roller coaster, made many people who were unable to adjust to it fall ill.
Walking on the street, you can hear many people coughing and blowing their noses.
Fortunately, Su Miao reacted in time. He usually kept a coat on his seat in the classroom. When he felt colder and colder while reading last night, he put on more clothes, so his health is currently good.
Hu Xiaodie, wearing a dark red woolen coat, stood up and turned around in front of Su Miao. The hem of the coat flew up with her movements. She said happily:
"Su Miao, look at my coat. It's one of my mom's leftovers. It was very expensive when I bought it. I've been eyeing it for a long time. Mom bought a new coat and finally decided to give it to me. Does it look good?"
Su Miao smiled and nodded, then noticed that she was wearing a thin base layer to show her elegance, and said, "It looks good. Are you cold?"
Hu Xiaodie waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, I can handle the cold! Su Miao, you're so tall, you'll definitely look good in a tweed coat, do you want to try it on?"
Su Miao shook her head and declined: "No, I have one in my closet, but I still prefer to wear cotton clothes when I stay in the classroom. It's more comfortable. If you like coats, I can give you one."
When Hu Xiaodie heard this, her eyes widened instantly, her face filled with surprise and hesitation: "Ah! This... this is not good! Such expensive clothes, how can I accept them?"
"It's okay, I didn't buy them, they were given to me by a tailor I know, they are all the latest styles of this season.
I just tried it on and didn't wear it out, so it's still new. Why don't you and Jiajia come to my house on Sunday and pick out what you like from the closet?
"Hehe! Well, I'm really not polite! I'll return the favor!"
Hu Xiaodie really liked the handsome and high-end tweed coat, so she nodded in agreement.
I thought to myself that I couldn't just take it for free, I had to use my saved pocket money to buy a presentable gift.
Hu Xiaodie had said before that people urinate more in winter, and she was right. Su Miao liked to drink water and would bring a large bottle to school every day. The frequency of going to the toilet in winter was indeed higher than in summer.
She was washing her hands after using the toilet, and a classmate next to her kept coughing.
Su Miao thought she might have caught a cold, so she didn't take it seriously. She washed her hands and went back to the classroom, thinking of drinking a bowl of ginger soup tonight as a precaution.
