It was a kind of suppressed crying, cautious, as if I was afraid that if I cried loudly, I would do something wrong. It was so helpless that it made people feel distressed.
After Wu Peiya's suppressed cries began to fade, Xie Yao organized her thoughts and said softly: "Do you think you did something wrong because all of them looked at you with that strange look?"
"Of course! You don't understand at all! You haven't been stared at by everyone!" Wu Peiya was still crying, but it was not as crazy and hoarse as before.
"I really don't understand, so please tell me, if only half of the people looked at you differently, would you still think you were wrong?" Xie Yao's voice was gentle.
"Yes!" Wu Peiya was very sure.
"What if there is only one person among ten people?" Xie Yao continued to ask.
"Yes." Wu Peiya hesitated for a moment.
"What if there is only one person among a hundred people?" Xie Yao asked again.
"...Yes." Wu Peiya hesitated for a longer time.
Xie Yao looked seriously and looked directly into Wu Peiya's eyes, "So, what you care about is not that so many people look at you, but the way they look at you."
"Because it's not only when everyone looks at you in a strange way that you will think that you have done something wrong. When only half of the people, or even only one person out of a hundred people, looks at you in a strange way, you will still think that you have done something wrong.
I think so."
Wu Peiya frowned coldly and did not accept Xie Yao's statement, "What's the difference?"
"There is a fundamental difference. Your thoughts have not changed because of the change in the number of people. Even if only one person among all people looks at you differently, you will doubt yourself! So, what you really care about is that they look at you.
Eyes!" Xie Yao's tone was firm.
Wu Peiya fell silent and lowered her head.
"Actually, you don't need to care about other people's opinions," Xie Yao said slowly, with a calm voice, "You are Wu Peiya, the only one in the world. You don't need to live for others, your life is your own, and
Only you can enjoy the ups and downs."
"Of course, you haven't grown up yet, and you are still too weak to resist the pressure from the outside world."
"I just said that I have experienced more rumors than you. Why did the rumors disappear later, but I was safe and sound? Actually, there is another reason I didn't say, that is, I am strong enough!"
Wu Peiya raised her head in confusion and looked at Xie Yao seriously.
"I am Princess Han, the daughter-in-law of the royal family. They dare not say anything. And naturally someone will come forward to solve the whole matter and shut up those people." Xie Yao looked solemn. It is cruel to let a little girl understand the social reality in advance.
, but it's better than trying to get into trouble.
"As for you, you have not yet reached the age of hair, and you are alone. You hardly need to take any risks when talking behind your back, so they are unscrupulous. So, what you have to do now is not to give up on yourself, but to strengthen yourself so that others will subconsciously mention you.
Shut up instead of talk."
Wu Peiya frowned and fell into deep thought.
Looking at Wu Peiya seriously, Xie Yao did not give her time to think, and continued to ask firmly: "Do you hate those people who look at you strangely?"
Wu Peiya was a little hesitant and afraid, but she still said, in a low voice, "I hate it."
"Then do you like your parents and relatives?"
"I like it." This time the voice was clear.
"Then do you know how the people you hate will feel when you deny yourself, give up on yourself, or even harm yourself? How will the people you like feel?" Xie Yao's voice was a little sharp.
Wu Peiya was speechless.
"Do you think they will forgive you if you recover from the injuries you suffered before? On the contrary, they will only laugh at you more unscrupulously and call you a coward and a coward!"
"And your loved ones will be even more distressed, even heartbroken."
"If you have done something wrong, then it must be this! You should not do things that make your loved ones hurt and your enemies happy!"
Xie Yao's voice is calm and firm, very convincing.
After Wu Peiya listened, she continued to fall silent.
This time Xie Yao did not interrupt, but gave Wu Peiya plenty of time.
Some words need Wu Peiya to think clearly before she can say them again to be effective.
After about a cup of tea, Wu Peiya looked up, her eyes were somewhat clear and bright, but not transparent.
"How do you know that those people will not forgive me because of my repentance? And if I do this, my parents and relatives will definitely understand me if they know my difficulties." When he said the latter part, his confidence was obvious.
There are some shortcomings.
After hearing Wu Peiya's question, Xie Yao was not surprised and asked Wu Peiya to wait where she was before going out to find Zou.
"The injuries on Miss Wu's body that I have healed have reappeared. She caused them intentionally." Xie Yao said bluntly with a solemn look on her face.
"Ah? Why? Why did she do this?" Zou was shocked and heartbroken.
"Don't worry yet," Xie Yao said to Zou, "Miss Wu now thinks that she is the one who made the mistake, so she is using this method to atone for her sins."
"Atonement? How could she still be wrong after...she's already like this? She's crazy!" Zou was really anxious. If this continues, something big will happen. "Princess Han still lets me in."
Take a look."
Xie Yao blocked the door and said, "Later. There is one thing you need to do now. If you succeed, Miss Wu will be able to persevere this time."
Zou immediately suppressed her heartache and eagerness and asked: "Princess Han, please make it clear, I will try my best to do it!"
"Go to the nearest teahouse or restaurant and spread what I just told you. Don't ask anything else." Xie Yao said.
Wu Peiya's obsession is very heavy. If she wants to let Wu Peiya let go of her obsession, she must recognize the reality.
Zou hesitated for a moment, then went out to make arrangements.
Xie Yao then turned back inside and said to Wu Peiya: "Did you hear your mother's tone just now?"
Wu Peiya nodded but said nothing.
"Do you believe my words?" Xie Yao asked.
Wu Peiya shook her head slightly.
Xie Yao was not angry and just said: "Then go and prepare. I will take you to a place later."
Wu Peiya didn't ask any questions. After washing up and changing her clothes, she followed Xie Yao out.
Before Xie Yao left, Zou told her the location of the teahouse where the news was spread, and she took Wu Peiya straight to the teahouse.
Because she was worried that Wu Peiya would be recognized and cause secondary harm, Xie Yao specially asked Wu Peiya to cover her face with a gauze scarf, and she also brought one with her.
After finding a private room closest to the hall and sitting down, and closing the door behind them, Xie Yao and Wu Peiya took off their gauze scarves.
"Listen, the answer you want is outside." Xie Yao pointed to the window of the private room, which faced the hall. From here, many sounds in the hall could be heard.
