About my hopeless brother and sister

"Ah, some of it indeed."

After a bit of confusion, I awkwardly buttoned my mouth, not daring to look at Wu Moxie, and answered in a small voice.

The figure there seemed a little smaller, and she shrank down, burying her head in her knees and saying softly, "I...what should I do...I...don't know...I...I've tried so hard...I...but...but I've gained nothing...a club with an incomplete number of people, and no one to pick up the sporting event afterwards...why...why...why is Qin Lan so popular...?"

I lifted my head and listened in silence. I didn't say anything back, and though I was still somewhat caught up in my earlier delusions, I could still hear the girl's helpless voice coming to me with sadness through the moving air. The young girl kept her head down, not looking up, and didn't care about my reaction, even if I didn't say a word.

Perhaps Wu Moxie, it was a long time ago, wanted to ask some questions.

It was true that she was very popular, I'll admit that, as the princess of the class.

"Why... can't I be like the other girls... why, is it that I haven't done enough... I, I've tried really hard, but still, no one will remember me... people won't think anything when they see me, and they won't even pick up the flyers I send out..."

Ah, the reason why the literary club doesn't have enough people can't be blamed on you, really, because at this time you're preparing such a meaningless club, how can anyone join it, come to think of it, unless you're bringing a friend or accompanying a friend, but you don't have a friend at all Oh Mo-hee.

I should be considered one.

What do you want, Wu Mo Xi, it's not difficult for you to get other people to notice you ah, first of all, you're not ugly, and secondly, you don't have anything to make other people hate you, you're even shy which is not a disadvantage.

"Qin Feng... what exactly do I have to do... to, to attract attention..."

Wu Moxie lifted her head, looked at me, and asked softly.

How... attention-grabbing is it.

I lifted my head and looked at the sky.

Okay, so here's the question...no, I don't drive a digger. Wu Moxie's question, how do I make others notice me, or at the very least, make others able to know that there is such a girl in the class.

How to make others welcome.

As I said before, there's nothing annoying about Wu Mo Xi, so why would Wu Mo Xi be unwelcome? What are the advantages of Qin Lan compared to Wu Mo Xi, or rather, what is the difference between Qin Lan and Wu Mo Xi? If the problem of Wu Mo Xi was replaced by Qin Lan, how would Qin Lan solve it?

How will you recruit new people?

How will you participate in the Games?

If you think about it, the answer is quite simple.

Wu Moxie wasn't unpopular.

"How about cutting the bangs on your forehead short first?"

I looked at her face, at her long bangs that were blocking my view, and said.

Wu Moxie froze, looked at me, carefully raised her hand, grabbed the hair in front of her forehead, and asked, "Bangs... why... this, is it important?"

To say that this bangs, if important or not, I think, is very important. The difference between Qin Lan and Wu Mo Xi is, probably, right here.

No, it's not that Qin Lan doesn't have bangs, Qin Lan also has bangs, it just won't cover her eyes. Wu Moxie also had bangs, but this bangs, once they were down, would completely make her eyes, or even, half of her face, invisible.

"Anyway, it's not a problem with the hairstyle."

I looked at Wu Moxie, gently reaching out, brushing her hair away, the puzzled eyes behind her. She tried to back away in some fear, but I stopped her, looked at her, and said.

"You're not unpopular, you just, you don't have the courage to be popular."

"Courage..."

Wu Moxie looked at me, dumbfounded.

I nodded and let go of her hair, my bangs hanging down, once again, blocking my view.

"Isn't the reason you have this hair, to, keep people from looking at you? If people can't see your eyes, then that person, will they still talk to you?"

To exaggerate even more, when you talk to someone and all they see is your hair, don't you think they would feel very awkward and leave? Don't you give people the impression that you don't want to talk to them at all?

"I..."

Wu Moxie nervously opened her mouth, like a fish struggling to land, I didn't give her a chance to explain, I don't know, why do I feel like I'm getting a little excited? Or have I always wanted an opportunity to tell Wu Mo Xi these truths? So instead of letting her explain, I'll go ahead and say.

"And you don't think that people will thank you for doing other people's work in silence, it's not like that, Qin Lan is popular because she has the courage to refuse, what she can't do is what she can't do, what she doesn't want to do is what she wants to do. If you keep going to accommodate and take care of others, how will others treat you equally, others will only think of you when they need help, others will only think of you when they can't think of others."

The Sports Committee didn't say anything about the fact that you only applied for one event at the Games, so what can the Sports Committee do if you refuse as well? How do people who don't know how to say no, who always see themselves as inferior to others, who always worry about whether they'll be unhappy, how do they get respect from others?

"And, one last thing. Don't care about what other people think of themselves."

Ha, that last point is my personal thought.

I looked at Wu Moxie, laughed a little to myself, and said, "Don't worry about what other people think of you, don't try to make yourself into what other people think of you, people without the edges can go faster, but they slide down the fastest. Go be who you want to be, don't worry about what other people think, become who they want you to be, do they still care about you? You'll just be seen as a piece of playdough that can be made up at will."

Yeah, like I said, it doesn't matter if it's diamond or charcoal in someone else's eyes, I'm just a bunch of carbon and I think I'm a bunch of carbon.

Ah, the last bit is my personal opinion, as long as you can have the courage to look people in the eye and have the courage to reject them, feel free to do so.

Wu Moxie looked at me, but I didn't know if she was looking at me or not, and I didn't know if she understood. My mouth twitched twice, forget it, it doesn't matter, my words are just a reference after all, how Wu Mo Xi does it is not something I can dictate or control, and what I say is not the truth.

If I were popular I wouldn't be left out by a group of people to eat by myself.

Nor would I be sitting alone on a bench playing with my phone.

But it doesn't matter, group life and all, it doesn't help, and when you need help, you realize that you're the only one who's useful.

I gently stood up, holding onto the tree trunk, and Wu Mo Xi stayed sitting on the ground. I looked around, maybe, it would be better to go somewhere else, or better yet, go, find someone else.

At this point, I'm not sure I want to, let two people, sit on the ground in silence.

Some excitement.

Wait...my hand....

It seemed to be by something....

It sticks.....

Chapter 31 About My Hopeful Despair (V)

Yes, the earth is round, and once that Magellan embraced the earth for the first time, confirming that the earth is round. In other words, if we keep walking and walking in one direction, we will still return to the same place. That Magellan also confirmed this, although he did not see it himself.

However, it can also be said that this earth is really small. It only takes a few decades for a person to walk around, and even then, nowadays, in less than a day, they are able to return to the same place.

And this country, this province, this city, this hill where I am now, is even smaller.

So much so, that even if I run amok, I will return to the place where I once walked. But even back here, I actually sat in the same spot for so long.

I pinched the sticky spot on my hand and smelled it, it was a very pungent smell, a smell I had just smelled at noon, it was a very annoying smell.

It was the smell of turpentine.
