Chapter 573 Next Stop (40)
"Qiao Xi, I think if you're determined enough about this matter, you need to explain it to me face to face."
Chen Kexin looked at her and persuaded her seriously.
Cheng Xin would have that expression.
Furthermore, Qiao Xi said this, and seemed to be hesitant. Chen Kexin could only think of one possibility, that is, Qiao Xi's refusal was not firm enough.
In this case.
That will not only give boys unwarranted fantasies, but it will also easily hurt a person's self-esteem.
And anyone.
No one should play with or treat other people's sincere feelings casually or perfunctorily in any form without having any feelings for that person.
At least, Chen Kexin thought so.
If you don't like it, just reject it directly. Although it is straightforward, it may make the person being rejected feel uncomfortable and sad.
but……
This is better than some people who use so-called soft-heartedness as an excuse, but are actually ambiguous with the other party, keep hanging on to them, and ask for money or deceive their feelings.
Why don't you want to see him get hurt?
Feeling soft-hearted or something like that is not a reason or excuse at all.
only.
It is just to satisfy the feeling of being liked by others, to enjoy the vanity of being cared about, and to be instigated and cheered by people around.
Such a person.
Chen Kexin looked down on this the most. She had seen many people using this as an excuse to keep others hanging.
What do you mean by being soft-hearted? It's too ruthless to refuse directly.
Something like that.
But in fact, as long as you firmly refuse and don't give the other party any hope, anyone with a little shame and a clear mind will know how to cut losses and give up in time.
Except the dog licking continues.
There's nothing much to say about that.
"I understand. I will apologize to him." Qiao Xi didn't know whether he understood what she said or not. She suddenly said this, which surprised Chen Kexin.
"What? An apology?"
"Well, I felt that bread alone wasn't nutritious for him, so I gave my breakfast to Cheng Xin. Then, he seemed unhappy and left. Now that I think about it, I didn't consider his feelings. Judging from his personality and experience, doing this might have trampled on his self-esteem, so naturally he was unhappy."
Qiao Xi said this.
His expression became increasingly distressed.
She was thinking that Cheng Xin was very good to her. When the strange flight attendant asked her to get off the bus, it was Cheng Xin who stood up to protect her first.
Although nothing happened at that time.
But she was also grateful that Cheng Xin could stand up so decisively to protect her without knowing anything.
so.
Qiao Xi wanted to return a small token of gratitude to the other party for standing up for him at that time.
only.
She hadn't explained it clearly, and Cheng Xin probably misunderstood her meaning. He might have thought she was giving him alms or pity, and his self-esteem was severely damaged.
at this point.
It was also because Qiao Xi did not think carefully enough. Only after doing it did she realize that her previous action was actually ill-considered.
What do you want to say?
It is better to communicate face to face.
“Just because of this…?”
Now it was Chen Kexin's turn to be completely stunned. Her slightly widened eyes showed unconcealed astonishment. She had never expected to hear something like this from Qiao Xi.
she……
I thought Cheng Xin confessed his love to Qiao Xi, and then was politely rejected and left hanging.
A moment.
When this thought emerged from the bottom of her heart again, Chen Kexin felt inexplicably subtle.
So it was because of this kind of thing.
Then why did she imagine so much before?
At this moment, Chen Kexin felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig her toes into the ground, and she wished she could crawl into the crack of the ground and escape from this world on a rocket in the next second.
She forced a smile and continued the conversation reluctantly.
"That's good, I wish you all the best."
Qiao Xi didn't seem to notice her abnormality, but the girl smiled and thanked her sincerely.
This one.
This made Chen Kexin feel very uncomfortable and she really couldn't hold on any longer.
But seeing Qiao Xi reflecting on herself so seriously.
She suddenly felt that this girl's serious personality seemed quite cute.
Think about it this way.
She was surrounded by some crazy, lunatic, and playful friends, many of whom were crazy. She knew very few people with a personality like Qiao Xi, and most of them she was not particularly familiar with.
Qiao Xi is so serious.
Thinking about these very detailed things, trying hard to maintain this friendship.
However, she thought that it was Qiao Xi who rejected Cheng Xin's confession, and her thinking was limited to that from the beginning, and her vision was not broadened.
I feel inexplicably ashamed.
Just as Chen Kexin was looking at the bright smile of the girl in front of her.
And feel a little dazed and overwhelmed.
The train arrival announcement also sounded at this time.
"The train is about to arrive at the sixth station. Passengers heading to the first station please prepare. Get off the train from the right door in order. Please pay attention to the gap between the train and the platform when getting off the train."
At this moment, Chen Kexin felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been liberated.
She felt a little ashamed.
It is really inappropriate to use that kind of thinking to speculate how much others care about their friends.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Qiao Xi looked up at the front of the train.
"Okay, be careful on the road and come back safely." Chen Kexin said this and waved goodbye to her.
Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Thank you. I will."
She maneuvered her wheelchair out of the cafeteria and into the carriage outside.
Cheng Xin, carrying a backpack, was already waiting there, but the boy lowered his head, seemingly looking at the tip of his shoes absentmindedly.
A few strands of hair fall down in front of the forehead.
It also hid the emotions in his eyes.
All Qiao Xi saw was the boy's clearly defined profile. His Adam's apple moved, as if he wanted to say something.
However, Cheng Xin finally pursed his thin lips slightly.
Wait for the train doors to open.
Just like last time, without saying a word, he picked up Qiao Xi and the wheelchair.
"wait……"
Being treated like this again, the girl was caught off guard and her eyes widened in surprise.
She probably wanted to stop it.
But Cheng Xin didn't give her a chance. He stepped out of the car and put her down as soon as he landed.
"Let's go."
The boy's slender fingers awkwardly gathered his stand-up collar jacket, quietly covering the lower half of his face.
Only this muffled sound could be heard.
It seems that he still doesn't sound very happy.
Perhaps he didn't know how to face her, so after Cheng Xin put her down, he changed his usual carefree attitude and became unusually silent.
The train door slowly closed behind them.
Gradually drive away.
Until the air became completely silent, Qiao Xi turned to look at the boy next to her who was silent.
"Cheng Xin, I'm sorry."
There was an undisguised sense of guilt in the girl's gentle voice. Cheng Xin was stunned when he heard it, and immediately turned around and looked at her somewhat bewilderedly.
The boy's pupils widened slightly.
When I saw the girl in the wheelchair next to me, she lowered her head slightly and apologized sincerely.
For a moment, I was even more panicked.
He didn't care whether he was still struggling with the fact that it was embarrassing or not. He quickly squatted down and asked in a frantic and stumbling manner.
"W-What's wrong? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"
He was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly.
"I'm sorry for not considering your feelings. Since you helped me, I wanted to repay you in some way of my own, but I didn't take your feelings into consideration and caused you to misunderstand."
Qiao Xi spoke seriously.
Noticing that the boy in front of her seemed a little stunned, she did not give up.
only.
Before she could finish, Chengxu suddenly reacted and took a deep breath, quickly interrupting Qiao Xi.
"No, it's not because of you... I'm just mad at myself."
The boy was a little annoyed.
He felt that he had brought shame upon himself and had gone against the teachings of the village adults.
Because we have always been taught to be humble to girls and to protect girls to the best of our ability.
so.
Subconsciously, he thought these were what he should do.
therefore.
When Qiao Xi treated him better and gave him her food.
Cheng Xin felt guilty.
I think Qiao Xi was being polite to him, so she would rather share her breakfast with him. Girls would just starve if they didn't eat it themselves.
This does not conform to his original intention.
So, he was angry with himself.
Was it because he ate so much that even Qiao Xi felt like he was never full? He even asked such a thin girl to give up her breakfast.
It's his fault.
So he felt very guilty.
After listening to this, Qiao Xi looked at him with some confusion.
"You don't need to feel guilty about this, or even guilty about it. Protecting others isn't your innate responsibility. You can help within your ability, but that's not your obligation."
It's like doing a good deed.
It's perfectly fine to be kind once or twice out of personal will.
But if.
It's like being held hostage by someone, using this as a pretext to blackmail you. Being forced to do this kind of "good deed" every time will gradually become taken for granted and become a burden.
but……
Not everyone is born to serve others.
Those who dedicate themselves are great and gain respect. That is the glorious way of life they choose.
But you can also be more frank.
Be a good coward.
I'm afraid of getting into trouble, I don't want to run into those messy things, and I'm even more afraid of getting into trouble. What's wrong with being a little selfish and wanting to make myself feel more comfortable?
Cheng Xin took this burden too seriously.
Perhaps it has become a shackle that binds him without him realizing it.
"You are not a hero. You don't need to be so great as to save everyone in the world who is suffering. You are you, you have your life, you have your future. What you need to protect are those who are important to you from the bottom of your heart."
Qiao Xi thought for a while and then said this carefully.
Cheng Xin was a little stunned for a moment.
He looked at her, slightly parting his lips. For a long moment, there was no response, perhaps because no one had ever said this to him before.
I've been compared since I was a kid.
He has nothing and can only work hard to make himself outstanding.
Because of excellence, people like you.
He tried his best to be a good child in the eyes of adults, even if there were some things he wanted very much, but he was a child without parents.
Even if I want to.
Nor can I act like other children and act like a spoiled brat with my family members without restraint.
He doesn't even have the right to be willful.
He could only envy her, but he never felt that his own fate was unfair. He had learned to be sensible, humble, tolerant and honest early on.
But I have always been lonely.
But he was open-minded and did not give up hope in life.
Just like this Cheng Xin.
They have a strong sense of responsibility, but when their sense of responsibility is frustrated, their self-esteem, which seemed extremely strong, will become extremely fragile in an instant.
There was silence for a while.
Cheng Xin stood up and looked at Qiao Xi with burning eyes: "Thank you."
He has a low level of education.
I didn't quite understand what he said, but I could roughly understand what Qiao Xi wanted to express.
He is just too stubborn and sticks to one thing.
I always think that I have to take care of everything myself.
But he also forgot that his current situation is different from before, and he has new friends around him.
Been together for so long.
These companions are all trustworthy.
After calming down a bit, Cheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and his usual signature smile returned to his face.
"You are my friend, I will still protect you."
"Hmm? ...Ah, thank you."
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with her eyes curved.
This open-mindedness and determination are probably what makes Cheng Xin truly strong.
"Then, let's rush in now!"
Cheng Xin raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction.
Qiao Xi also looked over.
This time the scene was a bit strange. Not far from them, there was only a light gate. Other than that, the surroundings were pitch black, with nothing else.
The path leading to.
There is only that door of light.
"Let's take a look at the time limit for this site first." Qiao Xi didn't rush forward, but took out her mobile phone and opened the chat room.
"oh."
Cheng Xin followed suit and learned accordingly.
However, the announcement released this time did not show the countdown time.
Compared to other sites.
There is an extra line of warm reminder marked in brackets below the announcement.
(Warm reminder: Dear passengers, the seventh stop is the final stop. The journey ends there and there will be no more sightseeing activities. Passengers who are getting off this time, please enjoy your last journey. There is no time limit~)
The time this announcement was published.
It was when they just got off the bus and started chatting.
In the chat room.
Ye Ran and Chen Kexin had seen this news a long time ago.
(Chen Kexin: Am I dreaming? It’s going to end? Ahhhh, so touching, it’s finally going to end!)
(Ye Ran: Stay calm, there might be hidden levels)
(Chen Kexin: Totally wrong, stop guessing! I finally get to meet Mr. Long, I want to meet him in person!!)
(Ye Ran: Sure, sure. I’ll fast-forward to your wedding and honeymoon.)
(Chen Kexin: Thank you for the kind words from this friend!)
Cheng Xin was a little confused as he flipped through the book, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Aren't they both in the same carriage? Why would they be sending messages here?"
Put away your phone.
He looked to the other side and saw Qiao Xi, who had already walked to the light gate and was about to go in. Cheng Xin hurried over and entered with the girl.
A dazzling light suddenly burst out, instantly engulfing the two figures.
And when Qiao Xi was swallowed by the dazzling light as bright as daylight.
I felt a slight dizziness for no apparent reason.
This feeling was similar to the feeling when the Little White Cat System sent her into the previous story worlds for treatment.
