Chapter 28 Born Guilty



"Leave it to my back~"

"It makes me afraid to pursue her~"

"I was trapped~ I was eight years old that year~"

Wen He's sorrowful and helpless voice continued to sing...

Every word he sang felt like a knife slicing open the flesh of the listener.

Everyone felt a suffocating pain.

Tears, which she wiped away but kept getting wet, slid down her cheeks like a light rain, one drop at a time, onto the phone screen.

The child, pushed out the door, stared at his parents' backs, his steps faltering as he tried to catch up.

Until the very last moment his parents closed the door, they never looked back at him.

In the end, all I could do was watch helplessly as my parents closed the door...

He was left standing outside the door, bewildered, with only eight years old in tow.

A child raised in a normal family couldn't write this kind of song, let alone sing it with such a melancholic feeling. Wen He must have experienced something terrible in her childhood...

Wen He, please stop rubbing salt in my wounds... Even the coldest heart can't withstand this kind of cruelty... It's making my Yu Yu syndrome relapse...

[From the songs he sang before, one could already vaguely hear that his life path must have been filled with thorns and hardships that are unimaginable to ordinary people...]

I know the early birds catch the worm, but nobody said people who stay up all night will get knives to eat... How am I supposed to sleep now...?

People who listen attentively to this song and are moved by it.

No matter how cold and hard it may appear.

His heart was always warm and gentle.

This song has also come to its final stages...

A pile of white papers on the table ~ grinning~

Grandma said I'll sleep with her from now on.

"I, lost and alone, sit across the street, refusing to go back."

"I might..."

"Born guilty."

The slightly timid tone at the end acted as a fuse, completely igniting everyone's hearts, and everyone burst into tears.

This song is only a little over a minute long, but it feels like a lifetime has passed.

In the dead of night, they hugged their blankets and cried uncontrollably.

Without empathy, there can be no emotional resonance.

Wen He's song can easily touch people's hearts, not simply because she sings it well, but because everyone has had similar experiences to some extent.

Wen He's song reminded them of their past selves.

I've been praised for my high emotional intelligence and social skills since I was a child.

They didn't know that after my parents' divorce, I had always lived as a dependent in other people's homes.

I must think carefully before I act and speak.

I must learn to read people's expressions and accurately grasp their psychological state, so that I can readily use celebratory and congratulatory words.

Only when I've made everyone happy can I feel a little more at ease.

…………

My grades were good enough to get me into a decent university.

However, due to excessive nervousness, his mind went blank during the exam, and he ended up only getting a mediocre score on the second-tier university entrance exam.

My parents didn't blame me for this, and I knew perfectly well that my abilities shouldn't have led to this, but I still didn't choose to repeat a year.

I know that no matter how many times I take the test, no matter how good my grades are usually, I will fail as soon as I step into the exam room.

I grew up in a high-pressure environment; if I made even the slightest mistake, I would be loudly reprimanded.

I was scolded for an hour because I accidentally broke a bowl while eating.

From the initial screams to the later tearful accounts of her hardships.

I once thought I was some kind of utterly wicked person.

Ever since then, whenever something important happens, I get so nervous that I tremble all over and my palms sweat.

[I imagined countless times in my mind what terrifying things would happen if I failed.]

I failed my driving test (Part 2) five times, and I just drifted through university without really understanding what was going on, but my parents didn't blame me.

But they didn't know that the trauma of my childhood would stay with me for life. No matter how good they were to me afterward, that nightmare-like shadow would never go away.

The characteristics of a people-pleasing personality can be summarized as follows:

1. Considerate of others: Skilled at reading between the lines, able to quickly perceive and meet the needs of others, always considerate of others, and even willing to do things beyond their job responsibilities.

2. Suppressing one's own needs: Being overly concerned with others' opinions and fearing disappointment makes it difficult to refuse others. To maintain harmony, they are even willing to sacrifice their own interests and dare not express their own thoughts.

3. Fear of conflict: Trying to make everyone except oneself happy, but this thought and behavior severely disrupts one's life.

4. Appealing to others: In social interactions, they often respond to others' opinions with phrases like "You're absolutely right," which stems from an inner timidity. They always feel that others are more capable than themselves, so they place themselves in a very low position.

5. Difficulty in saying no: Because they care too much about how others perceive them, they prioritize others' opinions and are afraid to refuse. This fear stems from the worry that refusing others will lead to their dislike of them.

6. Lack of principles and bottom lines: In interpersonal interactions, they always neglect themselves, hoping to maintain harmonious relationships with others. Therefore, they sometimes become unprincipled and lack bottom lines in their interactions, trying to please others at all costs.

7. Undoubtedly, you've probably experienced all of these. People with a people-pleasing personality are not a minority, because our upbringing shapes our personality in a certain way.

Wen He's new song, released in the early hours of the morning, is spreading like wildfire at a speed that can be described as a virus.

"Sin" mercilessly steals the tears from every listener.

This bombshell caused a massive, earthquake-like reaction the following day.

"After listening to 'Sin,' I listened to Wen He's 'Grandma's Bridge' again, and I burst into tears immediately. These songs must be based on Wen He's personal experiences..."

"Both stories are about childhood, but 'Grandma's Bridge' is full of beauty and warmth, while 'The Sin' really made me feel cold and desperate."

"No one is born guilty! Because our birth is never up to us. It is not our fault to be born into any family. We have never had the right to choose."

To everyone who sees this comment! I love you all!

"My heart aches for Wen He... I want to hug him... How desperate he must have been back then..."

"I swear I will never let my child experience my childhood. I will do everything in my power to love and protect him."
