Shen Yan used the Public Security Bureau to find Bai Zhi as an excuse to get rid of the previous trouble. In order to cooperate with Shen Yan, Bai Zhi could not go back to class and could only follow him around the playground.
The sky in the spiritual world is lead-grey.
Thick clouds pressed the sky very low, moving slowly as if they were rubbing against the roof of the school.
In the almost deserted playground, two people sat on the gray-white cement steps in silence.
"They...those people in the corridor today, why did they treat you like that?"
Bai Zhi turned her head, just in time to see Ana Shen turn his head and look at her calmly.
His facial features are far more mature than those in his student days, and his two thick black eyebrows look particularly heroic on his clean to pale face.
Some of the narrow eyes are like an ancient well in a cold pool without ripples.
'A pretty good-looking guy. '
Bai Zhi couldn't help but say something like this in her heart.
Seeing that the girl suddenly became stunned, Ana Shen asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Zhi turned her head without leaving a trace: "Nothing..."
There was another long period of silence.
Just when Shen Yan thought that he might find another way to explore Bai Ye's secrets hidden in his past memory, the girl's Nuonuo voice suddenly came out again.
"Actually, I don't know why they did this to me..."
Bai Zhi lowered her head, and from Ana Shen's angle she could only see half of her fair ear. Perhaps the lowering of her head pressed against her throat, making her voice become duller when she spoke.
"I am a transfer student, and I came to this school at the beginning of my second year of high school."
"They were not like this at the beginning... Although few people would take the initiative to make friends with me, no one would take the initiative to bully me."
"Zheng Jiaxue, you know...she is the one who tore my hair out in the corridor before. In fact, she is the first friend I made here."
Ana Shen: "If you hadn't said it, I really couldn't believe that she was your friend before."
Ana Shen remembered the scene she saw in the corridor before.
The woman who grabbed Bai Zhi's hair and slapped her repeatedly, who could believe that the two were friends before? She was even Bai Zhi's first friend when she came to this place.
"When I first met her, I didn't expect that it would turn out like this."
Bai Zhi raised her head, her eyes a little confused: "When I first came here, I didn't know how to communicate personally. She was the first to take the initiative to talk to me, and she even took me to the cafeteria at noon."
“Although when I went to get food for the first time, they asked me to queue up alone, but I thought at that time, it’s normal for friends to help each other get food. Besides, they also gave me the meal card, so it’s not Let me pay alone."
"And my action of helping them get food was recognized by everyone. They would take me with them wherever they went. I thought I had made friends in the new environment."
"Although I help them carry their bags when we go out to play, we are all friends after all..."
Hearing this, Ana Shen already noticed something was wrong.
After all, he had been a psychiatrist for a period of time. Although he became a monk halfway, he was not professional in many aspects. But Ana Shen also consulted many professional books and materials for this purpose.
In a book, he once saw such a theory, which is "territorial consciousness".
It is said that many large beasts will eat all the animals when they are new to an area. This behavior is not to find which one is more delicious, but to determine one's position in the food chain in this area and to promote one's dominance.
Similarly, if a strange animal breaks into a beast's territory, it will also attract the beast's attention.
As for the situation Bai Zhi encountered, maybe the other party didn't intend to make friends with her at first, but just kept testing her bottom line in this way, and then determined whether she would enter his "recipe".
Bai Zhi's next words quickly confirmed Ana Shen's guess——
"I help them prepare meals, so everyone will call me when they go to the canteen. I can help them carry their bags. Everyone will not forget me when they have the opportunity to go shopping together."
"Later, they even started asking me to help copy their homework."
"Although I think this is wrong. Sometimes I can't even finish my homework because of it. I should reject them."
"But sometimes I think that they only asked me to help because they regarded me as a friend..."
Bai Zhi raised her head and laughed at herself with blank eyes: "I still regarded them as friends at that time..."
Ana Shen comforted her: "For a person who has just arrived in a new environment, your thoughts are understandable."
It's just not worth promoting.
For people who have a weak personality and long for friends, it is too easy to encounter Bai Zhi's situation. As long as the other party shows a little closeness to you, they will subconsciously ignore the harm the other party has caused to them before.
You may even keep making excuses for the other person in your mind and think about the problem from the other person's perspective.
But people often overlook the most important point. When you don’t think from your own standpoint, who will fight for you?
There will only be ever-deepening PUA.
After listening to Ana Shen's words, Bai Zhi was silent for a while before continuing: "Later, the school held a New Year's Day party, and Zhang Jiaxue signed up to participate. She came to me and said she wanted to find someone to dance with, so she included me in the party."
"We three girls will dance in Swan Lake together."
"I have never learned dance, but because of my personal experience, I can control my body much better than them. I learned this dance very quickly, and even started to help the teacher teach the other two people to practice dance."
"Later, the performance started, and our performance was very successful. I thought that experiencing this together would make our relationship closer, but I didn't expect..."
"Somehow it started to spread in the school that I was drinking at a KTV called Angel's Coming...Zhang Jiaxue and the others also started to isolate me with others. No one wanted to talk to me. They looked at me like...like Looks like something dirty.”
Bai Zhi bit her lip fiercely as she spoke, her delicate and tender face full of painful expressions.
"Later, a male classmate told me that they all heard from people like Zhang Jiaxue. He also said that I became friends with them just to introduce them to work there..."
"I went to them to explain, but they would rather believe those rumors than believe me."
Bai Zhi raised her head, with tears in her eyes, looked at Ana Shen, and asked: "You said it is something that has never happened at all, why can some people say it so true? What I said is all the truth, Why doesn’t anyone want to believe it?”
Ana Shen took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Bai Zhi, while sighing and comforting: "Perhaps in their eyes, the uglier the appearance, the more it looks like a secret, and the secret is far more real than the subsequent explanation."
Bai Zhi wiped her tears: "I knew they didn't believe me and thought I was quibbling. So I went to Zhang Jiaxue and the others. Since the rumors came from their mouths, if they stand up and clarify, others should believe them. Already..."
"But I didn't expect that they blocked me in the toilet... That was the first time..."
"They started beating you, but you didn't resist?"
"Resist?" Bai Zhi stretched out her arms: "What to resist?"
Bai Zhi waved her arms as sharp as long knives and easily cut several leaves into pieces.
"Can you accidentally break them in two with these arms?"
