A few minutes later, outside a nearby milk tea shop, Baiyunshan looked at the girl in front of him with a strange expression.
The seats under the parasol are not particularly wide, and the round glass table is like a mirror, reflecting the colorful umbrella above.
The sunlight refracted around, and the space under the umbrella was dyed with a hazy color. Compared with the hurried passers-by, it looked obviously much more leisurely.
The girl opposite the seat is petite, and the dust on her floral skirt has been cleaned up. The self-deprecating chatter just now has stopped, and she is sitting there quietly. There was a slight uneasiness on her delicate face, and she stared at the cold drink on the glass table in front of her without blinking, not knowing what she was thinking.
"How's it going? Do you feel better now? Is the bump okay?"
Bai Yunshan spoke, and the girl trembled as if she had been pricked by a needle. She quickly apologized: "It's okay! It's just that I accidentally bumped into it. It's none of your business. I'm sorry. A useless person like me, even It's not even good to apologize, but it has caused you trouble. I'm really sorry..."
"Hey wait!"
Baiyunshan hurriedly interrupted, sighed and said helplessly: "If you do it again, I will be regarded as a bad person again. You don't know, you just said so much on the road, and the people passing by At least ten or more people looked at me with disdain, and I don’t want to do it again—"
"Ah...I'm sorry..."
The girl could only nod silently to apologize, with an uneasy look on her face.
Facing this seemingly soft and frail little girl, Baiyunshan couldn't help but sigh silently again, feeling quite depressed.
The truth was just as he said. After the girl's rambling apology started a few minutes ago, passers-by could constantly see people casting contemptuous glances at him, which made him particularly uncomfortable.
The general meaning of the expression is that you, a grown man, are so shameless that you let such a cute little girl apologize so humbly in broad daylight on the street. Isn't it too much? Baiyunshan even suspected that if he hadn't visually judged his height and body shape to be quite strong, there might even have been one or two enthusiastic people who were brave enough to rush up and push him down, but luckily he didn't -
So, this is the curse of beauty——
He complained quietly in his heart, and Baiyun Mountain was a little speechless. A cute and pitiful little girl stood together with a tall man who was not fierce but also tall. If you want to ask who will be bullied, as long as it is a Normal people would choose the former, but in fact he is indeed innocent.
Well, I am partly responsible for the sudden stop, but at least I shouldn't be considered a bad person, right? Do I look bad?
"No, you don't look bad at all."
the girl said suddenly.
Baiyunshan raised his head in surprise. What's going on? This guy can actually hear his own voice. Isn't it too weird?
"It's still my problem. If I hadn't done something as simple as apologizing, I wouldn't have let you be misunderstood as a bad person. I'm really sorry—"
The girl then continued to ramble with a gloomy expression.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop -"
Baiyunshan stretched out his hand to stop her with a headache on her face. Looking at the girl's uneasy expression, she felt weak again. Then she let out a long breath and made a decision in her heart.
As the saying goes, when the road is rough, you draw a sword to help. Now that I have met such an unconfident and weird girl, I have the obligation to try to solve this problem and change the other person's perspective. For no other reason than to make current communication more convenient, it is worth it.
So he coughed twice and said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, what's your last name?"
The girl's face was startled, and she subconsciously said: "Terada."
"Okay, Terada-san, I would like to ask you a few questions here, and I hope you can answer them well." Baiyunshan nodded, and then continued to ask without giving the other party any time to react: "The first question, uh... .Excuse me, why are you so unsure of yourself?"
"No confidence?"
The girl whose surname was Terada was stunned when she heard this, then her face darkened again, and she whispered: "Maybe it's because I am a useless person... My academic performance is not good, and there is nothing that can be called... If you're good at something, at first glance, you're just a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing—"
"No, no, I don't think it's for that reason."
Baiyunshan waved his hand and quickly found his usual state when preaching to the little idols. He said seriously: "There are never completely useless people in the world. Everyone should have their own value. I I think Terada-san, you are no exception, but you are still in the confused stage. This is also normal. People at your age will become confused because they have a certain understanding of the world and themselves. It is not terrible to be confused. The scary thing is that you have it but don’t know it.”
"As long as you know that you are confused, you can try to solve it and find out the root of the problem. This is progress, and you are not far away from becoming a useful person."
Baiyunshan paused for a moment, looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to be confused, Baiyunshan continued.
"As long as things exist, they must be valuable. The reason why you feel useless is not because you are really a useless loser, but because you are just a concept imposed by others. Most of the world's Extreme concepts about people are wrong, absolute good is wrong, and absolute evil is wrong. There is no truly omniscient and omnipotent genius in the world, and there are no truly good-for-nothing losers. You must do what I said before, Recognize the mistake and get rid of it.”
"I don't think you are a good-for-nothing person. Although we have only known each other for a few minutes and the only communication we have is just sitting here and chatting, I can see that you still have a lot of potential in you. If you have potential, you have to believe in yourself.”
As Bai Yunshan spoke, he stretched out one finger on each side and said with a serious face: "Get rid of the so-called useless concepts, just like one plus one equals two. Who told you that one plus one must equal two? Terada-san , I believe in you, one day you can make one plus one equal to one hundred!”
One plus one equals one hundred!
After some inspiring encouragement, the air fell silent again.
The girl seemed to be touched. She pursed her lips slightly and did not speak as before. She stared at the colorful colors on the transparent glass table, her eyes shining like glass.
After a while, she nodded slowly and whispered: "Although...I still don't understand some things, but I seem to understand a little bit-"
As she said that, the girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes were a little serious and a little confused, and finally she smiled sheepishly and lowered her head slightly.
"Thank you."
Seeing that the girl seemed to have finally changed her mind a little bit, and didn't look as confident as before, Baiyunshan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said casually: "It's okay, it's okay, you're welcome -"
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a young and cute voice next to him.
"Brother Baiyun, why are you here?"
He paused again and seemed to look across from his seat.
"Who is this? Your girlfriend?"
