Chapter 53 True Courage

"I'm not angry because you stopped me, but I just don't understand why you always look like you're trying to keep things quiet. Don't you know that this is why many people look down on you?"

Gu Ye opened a Nutri-Express and took a sip, then turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei beside him. The skinny guy was hunched over as usual, and his slightly handsome face was not very clear because he was looking down.

"Of course I know, how could I not know? But what can I do? I am such a coward, and it's not the first day you've known me, Brother Gu." Lu Mingfei's voice sounded a little dull because he lowered his head.

"So Chen Wenwen never even looked at you straight in the eye, because you don't even have the courage to defend your dignity as a normal person should have."

Gu Ye had seen a movie called "Ji Gong" starring Stephen Chow. In the movie, the protagonist Jiang Long was forced to descend to the mortal world and needed to enlighten three mortals before he could return to heaven. Among these three people, in addition to the bully and the prostitute, there was also a little beggar named Zhu Dachang who had been a beggar for nine lifetimes.

Gu Ye feels that the current Lu Mingfei is exactly the same as Zhu Dachang. He is used to being a loser. Even if someone tells him that he doesn’t need to be such a loser, he thinks that it is fine this way and there is no need to change.

"I say, what do you think of me now? Mingfei." Gu Ye continued.

"He is handsome, has a good personality, is sincere to his friends, and his academic ability is also among the top echelons of Shilan Middle School. He should be considered a perfect man?" Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at Gu Ye while answering.

"But I was actually bullied when I was a kid. It wasn't all smooth sailing for me since childhood." Gu Ye's voice was very soft, as if he was recalling the past.

"When I was in primary school, my mother was in a critical period of career development. At that time, she had neither money nor time, so she could only find a school for me to go to. So the primary school I attended was not a good one."

"Such a school naturally means that the environment inside is not very good. After everyone in the class knew that I only had a mother, some people often laughed at me and said that my mother must have had me because of indiscretion."

The expression on Lu Mingfei's face was a little stiff, and he seemed a little at a loss. He didn't know how to start, nor did he know why Gu Ye would talk about such painful memories.

"I was very stubborn when I was a child. I would fight with anyone who said something bad about my mother. But I couldn't beat that guy. Guess what they did?" Gu Ye lowered his head and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Ah? I... I don't know..." Lu Mingfei shook his head quickly, his eyes a little evasive. He really wanted to run away now.

"They sat on me and played firecrackers next to me. I was so scared at the time. You probably can't understand this kind of despair. I even wondered if I would become a deaf person in the future," said Gu Ye.

"In the end, I bit one of them, and they let me go after seeing the blood."

"Are they afraid of being scolded by their parents because they saw blood?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but interrupt. When he was in junior high school, he would also pay attention to whether his clothes would get dirty or if his hands had wounds. Once his clothes were dirty or there were wounds on his body, his aunt would definitely scold him.

"That's part of the reason, but maybe more of it is because they are afraid of me? ... At that time, I had made up my mind that if I was going to become deaf, then at least I would make these people pay the price."

There was a gleam of beast-like ferocity in Gu Ye's eyes, and his tone became somewhat cold.

"From that day on, I realized that being cowardly is useless. Only if you are more ruthless and more desperate than those guys who think they are bad students, will they be afraid of you and shut up about you."

Is that so? Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of a sentence: "People will spend their whole life to heal an unfortunate childhood." Maybe Brother Gu helped him out every time because he had no one to help him in the past, so he didn't want to see himself in the same situation?

"So, Mingfei...if you really want to gain respect, blindly tolerant won't do. Not only in study...you have to become more aggressive and braver in all areas. Only after you show your aggressiveness will they be afraid of you and respect you." Gu Ye patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, which almost made Lu Mingfei lose his balance.

After Lu Mingfei stood up straight, he put away his schoolbag that almost fell off his shoulder because of Gu Ye's slap, and then continued to speak. "Brother Gu, actually... I also fought with others, and the reason was similar to yours. My junior high school classmates said that my parents must have divorced abroad, and no one wanted me, so they threw me at my uncle and aunt's house. Later, the school asked me to find my parents, and I told my aunt..." Lu Mingfei licked his lips.

"My aunt scolded me severely, dragged me to apologize to someone, and asked me to do the duty for them so that they could pay less medical expenses... After returning home, I heard her discussing with my uncle at night, saying that maybe my parents really divorced abroad and didn't tell them, and whether there would be anyone to pay for my living expenses in the future..." A smile appeared on his face. At this time, he felt that only by pulling up the corners of his mouth like this could he prevent tears from flowing.

"Later, I kept helping that guy with his duty. When I got home at night, I had to serve everyone in the family meals and wash the dishes. I heard my aunt say, 'Your living expenses will be used up this month. I've saved your living expenses receipt in a book and I haven't wasted it.' My cousin told me that if my living expenses were not sent next month, I might have to move out, so he could have a room of his own..."

"So Brother Gu...how do you want me to be brave? How do you want me to show aggressiveness? I'm just a stray dog ​​who doesn't even have my own home..." Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"And I have met your mother, Brother Gu. She will definitely not blame you for these things, but I haven't even seen the inside of my mother..."

"I have never told my mother about these things, and I never asked her to go when the school called the parents' meeting..." Gu Ye interrupted Lu Mingfei.

"The teacher urged me many times, but I shut him up with my grades. Those guys asked their parents to come to me for trouble, and I continued to fight with them until they begged their parents to let it go."

"Brother Gu...you are really...awesome." Lu Mingfei showed a subtle expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, the only adjective that came out of his mouth was "awesome". Such a straightforward and direct solution was indeed very wild.

“So... once you have real courage, the so-called obstacles that prevent you from becoming brave are all bullshit. The only thing that can stop you..." Gu Ye poked Lu Mingfei's chest.

"It's your heart..."

“Maybe when you really don’t care about your own life anymore, this world will seem smooth to you. To take your destiny into your own hands, maybe you just need to really let go and fight for it once.” Gu Ye turned and left.

Lu Mingfei described himself as a stray dog, but he didn't know that stray dogs are actually the most ferocious dogs, because they don't care about much and have only a small territory. Once someone or a fellow dog takes it, it will become very aggressive...

Lu Mingfei looked at Gu Ye's back as he left. He felt a little uncomfortable where Gu Ye's finger had poked his chest. It was aching with the beating of his heart. He rubbed it for a long time before he felt better.

“But Brother Gu…some things can make you awesome if you work hard, but I may not be…” Although he said this, a picture emerged in Lu Mingfei’s mind.

In the snow in the middle of winter, little Gu Ye was being held down on the ground by several other children. The child sitting on him took out a firecracker slowly from the box in his hand and then lit it without hesitation.

Little Gu Ye's screams echoed throughout the snow, but no one came to his rescue. He finally lost his voice and could only instinctively launch a final revenge on the guy next to him. His eyes were probably as aggressive and oppressive as a wolf's...

This is how Gu Ye stopped being bullied. So can I do the same? Can I take revenge on those guys who bullied me?

"When I return to the world, all traitors will die!" Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, his golden eyes full of majesty.

"I...what happened to me just now?" The next moment, Lu Mingfei returned to normal. He touched his face, feeling a little confused.
