Chapter 847: Tiantang Qinghua of Class C?
The woman spoke, turning her head to ask the girl with long, straight black hair behind her, "Right, Sister Qinghua?"
Tiantang Qinghua remained frozen in place, staring blankly at Chi Feichei.
Those Purple Eyes were rare. Therefore, even though the handsome and fair face in her memory had lost its childishness and become more angular, even though the gloomy and weak feeling in her memory had turned into a calm that subtly carried a coldness, she still recognized him.
She could even clearly remember his name.
Chi Feichei...
The male Student from School who was once rumored to be the Heir of a Large Multinational Corporation.
As the Woman turned her head to ask a question, Chi Feichei also looked towards Tiantang Qinghua.
He remembered that there was another Incident this time. These People were University Classmates. This Woman called 'Qinghua' desperately worked part-time to make Friends and pretended to be a Young Miss from a Rich Family. As a result, she was seen through by the other three People, but the other three People were still discussing how to squeeze dry this fake Young Lady, but they didn't expect Qinghua to overhear their discussion.
During this Camping trip, Qinghua killed one of them out of Resentment, and it was this Blonde Hair Woman who proposed to squeeze Qinghua dry.
Wait, Qinghua...
Tiantang Qinghua of Class C?
Chi Feichei didn't try to recognize the delicate face and the greatly changed Hairstyle and Clothes. He lowered his eyes and saw two side-by-side Black Moles on Tiantang Qinghua's exposed arm, immediately confirming his guess.
It really was his old Classmate from the time when the Original Consciousness was in Elementary School to Middle School.
That School was directly promoted from Elementary School to Middle School. As long as you passed the sixth-grade Exam in Elementary School, you could be promoted to the Middle School Section. It was considered a School famous for its Score in that Area.
But that was a Private School. In addition to the high Tuition Fee, it also couldn't avoid a problem that was not uncommon in Japan—Exclude.
In PE Class, Activity Class, and Home Economics Class, no one was willing to team up with that person. Every time the Teacher repeated the question 'Is there no one?', it would be met with Silence, or they would use methods such as averting their Line of Sight and talking to their Companions to ignore the Teacher and express their resistance to that person.
In Japan's Education, Activities are almost all Collective Activities, and even Holiday Homework may require team Investigation. Being collectively Excluded at School will result in a kind of torment where it's difficult to move an inch.
He remembered that in "Naruto," the Third Hokage said this Sentence: 'Iruka, do you know? When People hate someone and don't recognize their existence, the Gaze People give that person is frighteningly cold.'
The Old Man still hadn't personally experienced that Feeling. It was more than just cold; you could also feel the strong disgust from the bottom of their Hearts. It was more than just Gaze; there was also the fact that no matter where you went, no one would Pay Attention To you, and everyone would disdainfully avoid you.
Then there were also verbal attacks, Pranks full of Malice, and even Violence and Crime.
He couldn't understand. At least in his previous Life, for Classmates who looked different from everyone else, more People were just Curious. And Classmates from poor Family Fortune, who were good-looking, or had good Personalities were likely to be taken care of. This would not become a Reason for being Excluded.
But in Japan, everyone seemed to like finding an 'Outlier' as an Outlet, a Boredom Relief Tool for boredom, and even a Gadget to promote the Affection of small circles.
For Example, Amuro Toru, who was born with dark skin and Blonde Hair, probably had unpleasant History in his Childhood.
For Example, Elena Miyano, who showed concern because of Amuro Toru's specialness, also once told her Husband that she had received unfair treatment because her Appearance was different from everyone else, which was why she cared so much about Amuro Toru in his Childhood.
For Example, the Original Consciousness, who came from a good Family Fortune and had different Eye Color from others.
He could still recall some excessive Words from his Memory.
Hey, your Eyes are really scary...
Your Papa Mama never participate in Activities. Did they Leave you and go find Lovers on their own?
I really have Never seen his Papa Mama...
Haha, an unwanted Child, so pitiful oh...
Children of eight or nine years old, the Words they spoke were like Sharp Blades, specifically stabbing at the most painful Place in People's Hearts. When they knew where to stab to make the Original Consciousness suffer, they would be like wild Wolf who smelled the Bloody Smell, rushing towards that bleeding Place one by one.
He found a Memory. The Boy in Kindergarten who was once protected by the Original Consciousness also turned against him during that Time, adding fuel to the fire and exaggerating the Past Events of the Original Consciousness to others—'The way he stood in front of me at that time, he really looked like an Idiot. He even thought I needed him. I was almost laughing to death...'
The Knife from someone you once thought was a good Friend, stabbing into your Heart is the most painful.
Then, after the Hamster that the Original Consciousness took care of was killed, it ended there.
The Original Consciousness contacted Chi Shinnosuke.
'Father, someone at School is bullying me.'
'Understood, I will handle it.'
After making a Phone Call with Chi Shinnosuke, the Original Consciousness was still disappointed because he didn't get the comfort and encouragement he had imagined. Chi Shinnosuke still hung up the Phone so quickly.
Actually, what Chi Shinnosuke did that night, he could Probably Guess now—
Find People to Communicate well with the Parents of those Children.
According to Chi Shinnosuke's Personality, it was Probably to talk to the Other Party's Parents in the Identity of Parents, talk about the Feeling of being Parents, and Hope that the Other Party would let their Child become Friends with his own Son.
The Next Day, People who had once actively Isolate him began to express their intention to make Friends. Some People even proactively said, 'Let's be Friends.' The Original Consciousness didn't respond, just quietly looked at the Other Party.
The Original Consciousness had his own Pride. He didn't Counterattack against verbal attacks, but the Points that those People seized made him unable to refute. His Parents did seem to have completely abandoned him, but it didn't mean that the Original Consciousness would eagerly choose to reconcile with the Other Party after being bullied.
Although Children are far less realistic than Adults and also care about Face, when other People saw that the Original Consciousness didn't respond, they wouldn't try to curry favor. But everyone could live in peace. Occasionally, they could say a few unimportant Words. No one deliberately Excluded or Isolate him, and no one could be considered close Friends with the Original Consciousness.
After the Original Consciousness Break Away from being bullied, the People of Class A quickly found a substitute, a Transfer Student who was not tall.
Although the Original Consciousness was unwilling in his Heart to make Friends with People who had Isolate him, he still had Sympathy for this Classmate and had Reach Out his Hand.
As Long As the Other Party was willing to accept the Hand Reached Out by the Original Consciousness, then they could also say goodbye to the Life of being bullied, but...
That kid kept buying Snacks and Water for the People who bullied him and tried to curry favor. The Original Consciousness couldn't stand it and Decided to talk to that kid. That kid Actually said: 'Please don't hinder me. I'm trying to integrate into everyone. I don't want to be unable to make Friends with everyone like you.'
The Original Consciousness at that time was: "???"
When that kid was being bullied by People, the Original Consciousness even helped to stop it. As a result, that kid Actually pushed the Original Consciousness away in public: 'Why are you doing this to me? I've been working hard to build good Relationships with everyone for so long, but you ruined it all at once. You just want to make me a Loser who can't integrate into everyone like you, right!'
Facing this Idea of 'You are harming me,' the Original Consciousness again: "???"
Perhaps it was because of Japan's Idea of 'If you can't integrate into the Collective, it's your fault,' while the Original Consciousness was influenced by his Parents to 'Don't be bullied,' so he couldn't understand. Just like he also couldn't understand what that kid was thinking.
The Reason he could recognize Tiantang Qinghua was Because in his Past Memory, Tiantang Qinghua was also a person who was Isolate.
The Original Consciousness was in Class A of Yingming Academy, while Tiantang Qinghua had always been in Class C.
Tiantang Qinghua had a good Personality and a delicate Appearance, but it might be Because her Personality was too good and she was pretty, or it might be Because her Family Condition was not good and she still attended a Private School with expensive Tuition Fee. After entering Middle School, some People Intentionally made her an 'Outlier'.
There were Rumors saying that her Family was poor and that she was also very unhygienic.
In Reality, Tiantang Qinghua had always kept herself very clean and had never violated Hygiene. It was Just that when many Girls would change to a beautiful and trendy New Handkerchief every once in a while, she had always been using the Handkerchief she had been using since Elementary School. It was Just that when many Girls had two Drinking Cups to use in Rotation, she only had that one. It was Just that other Girls changed their Clothes again and again, while she only had a few sets that she repeatedly washed and changed...
Because of these 'Differences,' Tiantang Qinghua was defined as 'dirty,' even though this 'dirty' was just those People's brainwashing Speculation.
The First Time the Original Consciousness noticed Tiantang Qinghua was when Tiantang Qinghua was being blocked outside the Classroom and ridiculed by a few Boys and Girls from Class C, Just Like the Original Consciousness who had been ridiculed in the past.
What are those Things in your Hand? So dirty...
The Original Consciousness glanced at it when passing by.
At that Time, Tiantang Qinghua still had Short Hair and was wearing a white School Uniform. She looked very refreshing, standing in the middle of A Group of People with her head lowered, her delicate Face a little flushed.
Where is it dirty?
This was the First Idea of the Original Consciousness. Probably it was at that Time that the Original Consciousness remembered the two side-by-side Moles on Tiantang Qinghua's arm, and the Impression was very deep.
There wasn't much Intersection between the two Classes. The Original Consciousness didn't know much about Tiantang Qinghua's Matters, but if Tiantang Qinghua didn't have the Idea of asking for Help and only compromised and yielded, then those three years in Middle School would probably not be easy.
Moreover, there is a very strange phenomenon in Japan's Schools. People who have been bullied in Middle School will often be bullied again after going to High School.
'Let me tell you, that person was once the one who was bullied'—this Sentence is like a Switch. Once it is Said, the former Victim will fall into new Isolate again. The best Outcome is to Transfer School and start over in a Place where no one knows them.
When Mouri Ran was in Kindergarten, she was also Isolate and Excluded by other Children Because the Teacher was better to her than to other Children. If it weren't for Suzuki Sonoko, this Loyal Friend, if it weren't for Kudo Shinichi, who fell in love at first sight back then, taking the initiative to accept and Help her, once Mouri Ran was affected, it was unknown whether Belmode's 'Angel' would still exist.
These Children from Teitan Elementary School are special. They don't Exclude Transfer Students, don't Exclude People who are different from them, don't bully other People, and will also proactively accept and Help.
So he Said, 'Ayumi is a good Child.'
Genta and Mitsuhiko are also.
"Sister Qinghua?" The Short Hair Girl saw that Tiantang Qinghua was distracted, Reach Out her Hand and waved it in front of Tiantang Qinghua's Eyes, "What's Wrong?"
"Ah?" Tiantang Qinghua looked towards the Short Hair Girl. Her Hand hanging by her side trembled slightly. The panic in her Heart made her still a little dazed.
Why would she encounter Chi Feichei at this Time...
This person knows that she is not a real Young Lady, knows that she was once the one who was bullied!
"What are you spacing out for? You wouldn't be..." The Short Hair Girl looked towards Chi Feichei, who had also been Staring at Tiantang Qinghua before. She originally wanted to make a few jokes, but was dissuaded by Chi Feichei's Indifference Expression.
"I..." Tiantang Qinghua looked towards Chi Feichei again, holding a glimmer of luck in her Heart.
They hadn't met many times. Every time they just brushed past each other. After High School, they went to different Schools. She had also changed greatly now. Chi Feichei might not be able to recognize her, right?
Perhaps Chi Feichei simply didn't recognize her. As Long As she acted a little more natural...
"Tiantang Qinghua of Class C."
Chi Feichei looked at Tiantang Qinghua with a calm Expression, paused, and said, "Long time no see."
Clearly it was just the Time of a Sentence, but listening to it in Tiantang Qinghua's Ear, it felt as long as several minutes. Her Heart also gradually fell into the abyss.
It was a definite Tone. Chi Feichei actually knew her Name and still remembered her!
Her Impression of Chi Feichei was just 'Young Master from a Rich Family,' 'cold, arrogant, and unsociable,' 'very handsome, but the Girls in Class who secretly liked him didn't dare to Say it,' 'study maniac,' 'Parents' Relationship was not harmonious,' 'disdainful of interacting with other People'... Most of it was hearsay, but she remembered the two times they brushed past each other. The Other Party did have an Indifference and gloomy Expression.
Why could this kind of person recognize her?
Even If he recognized her, with Chi Feichei's arrogant Personality, shouldn't he pretend not to See her and not know her?
(End of Chapter)
The woman spoke, turning her head to ask the girl with long, straight black hair behind her, "Right, Sister Qinghua?"
Tiantang Qinghua remained frozen in place, staring blankly at Chi Feichei.
