"Why, do you understand now?" Gu Mingjing raised his eyebrows.
Kong Qi nodded with a complicated expression, "I understand. It's all my own fault that caused the subsequent series of consequences. It's all my fault."
"Actually, that's not the case. Although you were indeed the initial trigger, the subsequent development can be said to be the result of the collective efforts of everyone else in this car." Gu Mingjing said after pondering for a while.
Kong Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Gu, please stop comforting me. This time it is indeed my fault."
Gu Mingjing immediately gave him a cold look and asked, "Do I look like someone who talks nonsense?"
Kong Qi: “…”Like.
But he didn't dare nod.
Besides, even if it was nonsense, wasn't it for his sake? He had to appreciate it.
"I've already said that this is the result of everyone's collective efforts. Although your look was a bit offensive, it wouldn't lead to the consequences that followed. This happened because someone was frightened by your look, went back to complain, and was then heard by others. Then the story spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the story became more and more outrageous. From the beginning, it was said that your look was wrong, but in the end, it was spread that we have a pervert here." Gu Mingjing explained.
"Ah, is that so?" Kong Qi couldn't believe it.
So, it's all just because the rumors are too outrageous?
"How else could it be? How much more complicated could it be?" Gu Mingjing said, "Oh, by the way, what you said earlier was also a little wrong."
"Huh?" Which sentence? Kong Qi was confused. He said so many things, which one was wrong?
Gu Mingjing continued, "You're not right when you say everyone believes this rumor. Not everyone believes it."
"If they don't believe it, then why do they still keep watch? I saw it clearly in the morning. Everyone looked like they hadn't slept all night and were extremely sleepy." Kong Qi said.
"Do we believe it completely?" Gu Mingjing asked back.
"I believe it." Kong Qi nodded without hesitation. Not only did he believe it, he also believed it firmly. Otherwise, why would he have been so shocked when he just found out that he was the pervert?
Gu Mingjing choked for a moment, then said unhappily, "That's you."
"Ah? Brother Gu, you didn't believe it." Kong Qi was a little surprised. "Then why are you still keeping watch? You must be so tired. Wouldn't it be nice to have a good rest?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. Even if there is a one percent or one thousandth possibility, we can't just turn a blind eye and ignore it. So we still have to be on guard against it." Gu Mingjing said.
...Although he could not achieve this spirit, Kong Qi still respected it.
"Alas, we only found out at the last moment that the whole thing was a misunderstanding. This misunderstanding has made everyone uneasy, it's really..." Kong Qi felt it was hard to put into words.
Gu Mingjing also felt so.
"Brother Gu, do other people also know the truth?" Kong Qi shrank back and asked quietly after suddenly remembering something.
The ink on the letter paper dried, and Gu Mingjing carefully folded it up. Hearing Kong Qi's question, he said casually, "You should know some of it."
"Ah? Someone knows?" Kong Qi quickly took off his shoes and got on the bed, hiding in the corner, trying to reduce his presence, hoping that no one would notice him.
After Gu Mingjing put the letter away, he looked up and saw him like this. He said with a bit of amusement, "You're scared now. Why weren't you afraid when you were watching me before?"
"We didn't notice it before." Kong Qi muttered.
"Besides, things are different now. No one slept well last night, so they must be furious now. If they knew I was the culprit, they would definitely come to my door, right?"
The more he spoke, the more frightened he became, as if he had already witnessed that scene.
"It's okay, not many people know about it." Gu Mingjing said, not intending to let him worry all the time.
"What? Brother Gu, you lied to me?" Kong Qi complained with a look of grievance.
Gu Mingjing was not happy with this and retorted, "How did I lie to you? I said some, not all. One person, two people, isn't that also some? Ultimately, it's you who misunderstood."
Kong Qi has never felt as though his tongue was not enough as he does today.
"So how many people know about it? Is it a lot?" He had to try his best to ignore it and change the subject.
Gu Mingjing was a little hungry, so he took out his own lunch from the bag.
He opened the oil-paper bag, looked at the steamed buns inside, and replied, "Not many, probably only four people. The others just knew that the pervert thing was fake and a rumor, and they wouldn't associate it with you."
"Huh, that's good, that's good." Kong Qi breathed a sigh of relief?
There were only four of them, so he didn't have to worry.
As long as not many people know about it, he can pretend that this matter does not exist.
Only after figuring out the whole thing did Kong Qi finally relax.
In a short period of time, his mood fluctuated greatly, and when he relaxed all of a sudden, Kong Qi felt a little tired.
Looking at Gu Mingjing who was having lunch, he greeted him, "Brother Gu, I'm a little tired. Let me take a rest first."
After seeing Gu Mingjing nod, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
He needs to rest for a while and have a good sleep, and when he wakes up he will forget everything.
-
The rest of the time, the train was calm.
People kept coming in and out, but perhaps Kong Qi's prayers worked, as there were only the two of them in their compartment from beginning to end.
As the people in the carriage gradually left, the earlier "perverted" incident had faded away, and not many people knew about it anymore.
Gu Mingjing sometimes looked at the scenery outside the window, sometimes chatted with Kong Qi, but most of the time he just leaned quietly on the bed, staring at the photos on Jianshu in a daze.
In contrast, Kong Qi was more relaxed.
He didn't want to go out and interact with people, so he could only stay in the cubicle. With nothing to do, he was like a hyperactive monkey, jumping up and down.
Note that it is not an adjective, it means really - jumping up and down.
Climb up to the middle bunk above, then jump down.
It can be seen that he is really idle and has nothing to do.
Gu Mingjing ignored all of his actions.
We are all adults. We should know clearly what we are doing and be responsible for our own actions.
He can't care so much and is too lazy to care.
If you have this time, you might as well write a few more letters to your books.
