Chapter 229: Fairy Tale of Goldfish Princess
Hearing Avni's question, the girl thought for a few seconds before answering.
"At least I don't hate it. I'm also a little curious and like the style of painting. What about Avni?"
"I liked it more when I was a child, and I collected a lot of similar poetry picture books at that time." She came to Tilan, rolled up her skirt and sat down.
"What happened later?" Tilan felt that there seemed to be a bit of regret and loss in her words.
"Later, as I grew up, my parents gradually stopped me from reading such things. They hoped that I would go out and socialize with people more and make good use of my advantages." She rested her chin on her knees and wrapped her hands around her legs.
"Fairy tales are for children. You have grown up. Don't indulge in these things anymore. This is what they said to me at that time."
"After listening to it, I felt very ashamed at the time, so I tried my best not to read or touch similar things." Avni's eyes slowly closed and then opened again.
"Because I inherited my mother's good figure and even better looks, I was very effective in dancing at that time, and often received praise from my teachers, family members, and people around me."
"Of course children like such compliments very much, so I practiced more and more, and my skills became better and better, and I could do many difficult moves easily."
"Is this not bad?" The girl turned her head and looked at Avni beside her.
"Yes, but compliments will gradually become boring. Later, I also developed a rebellious mentality and did not want to be a girl who was just good at dancing."
"My mother is a very beautiful woman. It is said that she was a star sought after by many people when she was young. My father is of ordinary appearance and a little fat. He usually speaks in a rude manner and seldom smiles. From the outside, my mother has more advantages, but in life, my mother always indulges my father and even tries to please him. Occasionally, she will act like a spoiled child to him." "
I did not understand it before, but later I gradually understood that this is natural. My father is a senior official in charge of an important department in the star field. Many corporate groups outside want to please him, so he naturally does not need to be approachable. In fact, being a little cold and hard can prevent many shameless people from asking for benefits. Although my mother is beautiful, beauties like her are not rare in the entire star field."
"Just knowing how to dance is not enough. Even though my mother was young and a famous star, she still had to please others. I don't like to use my looks and dancing to please others, because this is to seek some kind of 'reward' from others, and I don't have the initiative, and it's not solid. Others can easily take back this kind of love and gift."
"So, I began to turn my attention to learning the practice of the extraordinary sequence. This is the most direct and practical way to have power."
"My parents found the best teacher for me, and because my talent is related to 'flame', they contacted the 'Red Death Sect' in the alien domain. They are a well-known extraordinary faction that excels in this field."
"In the early stage, I made rapid progress, and my strength was far beyond that of my peers. This almost became a topic of discussion in the circle around me. There were always people paying attention to my every word and action, and many of my peers were urged by their parents to build good relationships with me."
"I can become friends with many people without any effort, and they will constantly invite me to various parties, activities, travel, games, etc. in order to deepen this 'friendship'."
"This kind of mind is actually very easy to see, and after experiencing it so much, I feel disgusted, but also very twisted and artificial, so I began to put away my usual easy-going and gentle appearance, became arrogant, and even ruthlessly rejected and made disgusting comments, because if your attitude is a little softer, those people will come to rely on you." Avni slowly confided some of her thoughts, perhaps because she had a deeper understanding of the black-haired girl beside her during this period of time, so she could feel at ease to talk about the past hidden in her heart.
"Some things seem to be internalized into a real personality when you do them too much. Unconsciously, I got used to it, and even became the typical girl in everyone's mouth who is particularly arrogant because of her good family background, looks down on ordinary people, and is not easy to approach."
After saying this, she sighed. Who doesn't want to be popular and loved by everyone? But in order to avoid some troubles, she could only do this.
"Gradually, I had fewer and fewer friends because I always rejected their invitations. The focus of my life also gradually shifted to practicing the Transcendental Sequence, which was a completely new field. The knowledge of dance, music, social interaction, etiquette, etc. that I had learned before was completely useless. Although I made rapid progress in accumulating magic power in the early stage, when it came to testing my theory and understanding to construct the brand formula and complement each other to form the Transcendental core of a complete system, my shortcomings were slowly exposed." "
So, during the stage of advancing from Sequence 3 to Sequence 4, I was stuck for a long time. During this period, my mentality gradually changed from stable to anxious, and even to unbalanced in the end."
"Because I was stuck in the same place for a long time and made no progress, my mind gradually became confused. I even began to imagine how I would live if I could not meet everyone's previous expectations and became a mediocre person. Could I really only be a vase that danced beautifully and relied on my father's influence all my life to be a young lady that everyone praised on the surface but laughed at in private?"
"The more I thought about it, the more afraid and anxious I became. The more I couldn't stabilize my emotions and mind, and the more difficult it was to advance. It almost became a vicious cycle."
"During the holidays, I locked myself in the room, and when I was lying on the floor with nothing to do, I took out those poetry picture books that I had put away when I was a child."
"I have to say, the world of children is simple and beautiful."
"A series of gorgeous and colorful still pictures, coupled with a few words, can outline a beautiful world in the imagination. Adults have experienced and seen too much, but because of their existing cognition and concepts, it is difficult for them to let go of their hands and feet and minds to imagine such distant and beautiful stories."
"Looking back at the picture books from my childhood, my mind slowly calmed down. Later, I read all the poetry picture books that my family had collected before, and my mentality finally recovered a lot. Maybe it was those gorgeous colors and moving stories that gave me some hope and fantasy for life again."
"And then, after I came to school, I received a notice from the club and knew that Tilan wanted to initiate an experience. At that time, I was also looking for a change of mood and thinking, so I joined in."
"Destiny is so wonderful. The road that was blocked before has gradually loosened up with the expansion of vision and change of mentality in experience. Especially the explanation and demonstration that Tilan gave me that time, it made me open a new door." "
I like this kind of poems and picture books very much, just like fairy tales. Although adults say that such stories are naive, I still like this kind of simple and gorgeous colors, which make people have infinite imagination and expectations." "
If possible, I also hope that Tilan is as beautiful and lovely as the fairy tale in the picture book, and always maintains a kind heart and gentle appearance."
"Thank you." The girl answered a little embarrassedly, feeling that she was not as perfect as the characters in fairy tales.
"But reality is not a fairy tale..." She whispered softly.
"But I will still work hard to bring everyone a fairy tale-like happy ending."
