Chapter 12 I'm going to be 'meticulous'
When the doctor heard this, the black girl looked a little embarrassed, "Ah, that. You heard it wrong."
He couldn't tell it was a nickname, so he changed the subject and asked, "How did you become white?"
This was the thing he was most curious about. The more he looked at Gu Qingshi, the more curious he became. This was completely like the ugly duckling turning into a swan.
"I was originally this fair, and I turned darker because I ate something I shouldn't have."
If they hadn't said it, Gu Qingshi wouldn't have realized how much he had changed.
"So that's how it is. I didn't know. If I had known, I should have called you Miss Bai." The doctor laughed and blurted out.
"Black girl, white girl," Gu Qingshi narrowed his eyes, "So it's popular in your hospital to call people like that, then I'll call you Xiao Ma from now on."
The doctor scratched his head when he heard this, "I'm not a horse, why do you call me a pony?"
"This is a nickname. This is the style of your hospital, so I will follow the local customs and give you a nickname. Your Ma is not a Ma with a surname, but a Ma with a horse face."
Gu Qingshi explained, with a smile on his face but cold eyes, "Do you like it? Look, you call me Black Girl, and I call you Little Pony."
A friendly nickname is fine, but a nickname with malicious intent can cause far more harm than you might imagine.
Hearing the name from the black girl, she knew what it meant, and it reminded her of the experience of being called a thief when she was a child.
Xiao Ma was completely frozen, his face flushed with shame and anger.
Qin Zeming said helplessly, "We were just joking, don't take it too seriously."
"I'm just imitating how you talk, why are you being so petty?" There was no smile in Gu Qingshi's eyes, only coldness.
She has suffered injustice all her life, and the thing she cannot bear most in this life is injustice, so she has to be "stubborn".
Qin Zeming and Gu Qingshi faced each other coldly, and neither of them backed down.
Xiao Ma laughed stiffly in the middle, "Sorry, I was wrong before."
Gu Qingshi then glanced at him and said, "Knowing how to apologize is better than being a narcissist. I hope you can really remember it in the future."
"Narcissist?" Xiao Ma was curious, "Who is the narcissist?"
"Who else could it be?"
Xiao Ma looked at Qin Zeming, who had a dark face, and asked, "Why do you call Doctor Qin a narcissist?"
"Because he is so narcissistic that he thinks everyone in the world likes him."
Qin Zeming was furious, but Xiao Ma couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." After he apologized, he looked at Gu Qing with shining eyes, "You really don't like him?"
"I'm not blind." Gu Qingshi rolled his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. I have nothing to do with him."
Gu Qingshi was busy going back and didn't bother to continue talking nonsense. He just left without looking back.
Qin Zeming's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Xiao Ma, who was also being scolded, looked at her back and chuckled again.
"It's incredible, she's amazing, just like Chili Pepper." At this point, he suddenly shut up, "No, I can't give people nicknames casually anymore."
"Doctor Qin, what's her name? Who is she?"
Xiao Ma exclaimed, "She is amazing. She has changed so much, just like an ugly duckling turning into a swan."
This time, there was no playful put-down in his voice.
Qin Zeming's face turned even darker, and he just left him and walked away.
After Gu Qingshi returned to the restaurant, he looked at his face in the water and said, "It really has become much whiter."
She inherited Bai Zhen's good skin, or rather, she is better than her teacher.
A white complexion can hide a hundred uglinesses. Originally, whiteness was a good thing, but later it became her nightmare. Duan Renjie targeted her just because of her whiteness and beauty.
Duan Lingling had a boy she liked at that time, but the boy didn't like her. Because he looked at Gu Qingshi a few more times, Gu Qingshi became a thorn in Duan Lingling's eyes.
She was so angry that she wanted to destroy her face and used a burning tongs to burn her face. She was alert and moved away, and the tongs fell on her collarbone.
There is still an ugly scar on his collarbone. This ugly scar and the darkened skin are all caused by Bai Zhen.
After the incident, she tried to make herself darker. She secretly smeared charcoal on her face every day and grew long bangs to cover half of her face to make herself inconspicuous.
Gu Qingshi changed quietly in places where no one noticed, making people forget how dazzling and beautiful she once was.
This was effective. Duan Renjie stopped paying attention to her and turned his attention to other girls. Duan Lingling was prettier than her and finally stopped bothering her.
Gu Qingshi’s choice back then was the right one, as it effectively protected herself. Otherwise, given her situation, she would have been ruined by Duan Renjie at any time.
There are only thieves who will steal for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you live in a house, you can't guard against thieves at all.
She thought to herself that she should just endure it and become the most inconspicuous ugly duckling and grow up safely.
But unexpectedly, her skin really turned yellow and black later, and she didn't even need to darken it deliberately because Bai Zhen took action.
Bai Zhen felt it was unsafe to discredit him, so for the sake of family harmony and stability, and to make Duan Lingling happy, she gave Gu Qingshi some unprepared Chinese medicine to drink.
There was a neighbor who kept getting darker and she found out that it was the Chinese medicine that had problems. After she remembered it, she gave it to Gu Qingshi to drink, saying only that it was for health care and good for the body.
At that time, Gu Qingshi drank all the wine because she cherished Bai Zhen's long-lost concern for her. Later, when she realized that something was wrong with her body and her skin was getting darker and darker and would not turn white again, she found out the reason.
Bai Zhen was not afraid that she would die from eating it, because she took it for granted that it was not poison. She did everything for Gu Qingshi's good. Becoming darker was better than being disfigured.
Bai Zhen felt that Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling had finally accepted her, and she had to maintain this closeness.
But medicine is poisonous to some extent, and Gu Qingshi was not sick at all at the time. The medicine did not work, and Gu Qingshi developed health problems, and he really became an ugly duckling.
Later, she had a hard time living and had no money to treat her facial injuries or recuperate, until she drank the water in the space.
Gu Qingshi's feeling at the time was correct. The spring water really can detoxify. Diarrhea and smelly sweat are actually detoxification.
The spring water discharged all the toxins that she had accumulated, and in addition to detoxification, it also had the effect of beautifying and whitening.
Although it is still not as good as the original white, it has improved a lot.
Gu Qingshi touched his face, then looked at the scar which had faded a little, and wondered, "Will it be whiter if I apply it directly? Will it have any effect if I apply it on the scar?"
Thinking of Gu Qingshi, she decided to give it a try. She was still in the restaurant, so it was not convenient for her to go directly into the space, so she touched the word "Duan" on the jade bracelet twice.
Soon water began to flow out, just enough for her to wipe her face and scars.
What Gu Qingshi has researched in the past few days is that the spring water is constantly gushing out, but it is not inexhaustible. If you use it too much, the spring water will decrease and need to be accumulated slowly.
When the spring inside is full, the water will overflow a little when you touch the jade bracelet.
The spring water feels comfortable and refreshing on my face. "It won't be long before my skin tone returns to normal."
After being reborn, Gu Qingshi was no longer afraid of being beautiful. Her thick and long bangs were not suitable for her to work, so she had already grown them out and lifted them up to reveal her smooth forehead.
She was no longer afraid of everyone's gazes, no longer afraid of everyone praising her beauty, and even less afraid of Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling.
Because she knows clearly that some things and some harms cannot be avoided by becoming ugly or darker.
She had always been such a dark person in her previous life, but in the end, she was also harmed by Duan Lingling.
Giving in will not stop the harm, it will only make it worse. If you want to stop the harm, you can only become stronger and fight back. This is the only way.
Trying to save yourself by giving in is nothing but wishful thinking.
In this life, she doesn't want to pretend to be anything more, she wants to live honestly.
