Chapter 315: Better Self
"He's annoying...... I don't want to go back to the thought of him being at home. Li Xinying's expression sank, "When I was very fat before, he always bullied me and laughed at me, and my aunt never stopped him from watching from the sidelines, as if he was still very proud." And then after I lost weight, he ......"
As she spoke, Li Xinying looked down at her plate and stopped talking.
But Qin Yi actually roughly knew what was going on, and his tone softened: "If it's hard to say, why don't you try to use your mobile phone and say it by typing?" ”
Li Xinying pursed her lips and hesitated, then took out her mobile phone and pressed it, and soon Qin Yi received the message.
"He always looked at me with squinting eyes, and I tried to pretend not to know that someone had broken in when I was taking a shower, but luckily I had finished washing by then. Li Xinying quickly pressed on her phone, "And I also saw some very obscene movies on his computer...... It's all about my sister. ”
"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Qin Yi asked a little worriedly, "Have you ever taken action?"
Li Xinying bit her lower lip and thought about it, but still pressed it on her mobile phone: "I forgot to bring a book at school one day, and then when I went back to get the book at noon, I happened to run into him in the bathroom, as if he was doing something with my underwear......"
"No wonder you don't want to go home. Qin Yi sighed slightly and thought secretly, "I always see you hanging around outside the school after school, although I can understand you, but you are a girl, this is very unsafe, right?"
"But it's also not safe at home. Li Xinying pursed her lips and muttered, "I don't dare to sleep too deeply when I sleep at night, although I always lock the door, but my cousin has the key to the house." So when I go to bed, I always lock the door behind and put a chair against it, so that if he opens the door, I can hear the noise and ......."
As she spoke, Li Xinying pinched her fingers and whispered: "I was awakened by the sound of a chair moving one day, and then I got up and looked, although there was no one outside the door, the door had been opened." I knew someone must have wanted to come in, so I don't dare to sleep until late every day. ”
"Hmm......" Qin Yi held his chin and frowned and pondered for a while, then replied, "The first thing the teacher wants to tell you is that there is nothing wrong with wanting to become a better version of yourself. It's not your fault that the people around you are unhappy or unhappy, it's a good thing for people to pursue a better version of themselves, and you have to remember that, okay?"
Li Xinying sighed, Qin Yi reached out and snapped his fingers in front of her, making her look at herself: "Hey, look at the teacher." Don't indulge in your own thoughts, communicate with me. Listen to me, the reason why those people are unhappy is not because you pursue excellence in yourself, but because they are willing to be ordinary and depraved, and it is normal for such people to be unhappy, not because of you. ”
"But ......" Li Xinying hesitated a little, and Qin Yi smiled: "Believe me, even if they don't have you, they won't be happy, it's just that they don't blame anyone, you just happened to be that excuse." ”
As he spoke, Qin Yi patted Li Xinying's head: "I know, you may think that your aunt will be jealous of your parents because your academic performance is too good, if you are not so good, she may not reprimand your cousin all day long." And your cousin won't keep bullying you because of this, but that's not the case. Even without you, there are many other people who are much better off than they are, and they will complain about being jealous of other people's lives. ”
"Hmm...... I actually think so, too. Li Xinying nodded and whispered.
"Right?" Qin Yi smiled, "Some people want to live a better life, but they can't make up their minds to change themselves, waiting for pie to fall from the sky every day, but at the same time, they are jealous when they see others become better themselves through hard work and get a better life." Such people are not uncommon, and there is no need to question yourself because of such people. ”
"Hmm. Li Xinying smiled and nodded, looking a little energetic, so Qin Yi raised a second finger: "Then there is a second point, this matter of your cousin." Although I don't think he has the guts to do anything practical to you, it's probably just some YY, but it's not good for you and his physical and mental development if it goes on like this, so ......"
Qin Yi said and smiled: "Have you ever considered going out to rent a house by yourself?"
"Rent a house?" Li Xinying seemed a little hesitant, "But I'm very wasteful in housework, I can't cook or do laundry, if I live outside alone...... Although it is possible to get rid of that cousin, but ...... with parents"
"I didn't say I wanted you to live alone. Qin Yi smiled and said, "Look, I just know that there is a classmate in the class who is in a similar situation to you, and she rented a house outside to live alone, in fact, the teacher is still a little worried about her situation." ”
Saying that, Qin Yi smiled brightly: "However, if you are with her, the teacher will be able to rest assured." Two people can take care of each other in life, and they can accompany each other, and if you avoid being alone, there will be no bad people to beat you. It's the perfect solution, don't you think so......?
Qin Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Tell your parents, you plan to go out and share a house with your classmates, the house is closer to your school, it will be more convenient for you to go to school, and that girl is still the top 20 top students in the whole grade, and you can ask the other party to guide your study with her, so I think your parents should agree." ”
"But my grades are also very good. Li Xinying pursed her lips and complained dissatisfiedly, "I don't need guidance from others, I just didn't study hard because I went to lose weight last year......
Saying that, Li Xinying asked curiously, "Teacher, do you want me to lie to my parents?"
"It's not a lie, this kid ......" Qin Yi smiled bitterly, "It's just a change of truth so that your parents can better accept it." Your grades are of course very good, but our deputy class leader's grades are better than yours, even if you don't need her to guide you, the two of you can discuss each other's studies. Moreover, Xue Ying is very good at housework, right?"
"Really, it's amazing......" Li Xinying covered her mouth and sighed: "I heard that she seems to be a rich lady, not only is she beautiful and has good grades, but she is also very good at housework...... It's amazing. ”
"Isn't that right? You think you can learn from her about that, too. Qin Yi said with a smile.
"Hmm......" Li Xinying played with her hair and thought about it, Qin Yi added: "Moreover, that place is also very close to the teacher's home, and the teacher will also go to the gym at night? ”
Hearing this, Li Xinying immediately nodded and smiled: "Well, then I'll go! I'll go talk to Tang Xueying tomorrow!"
"Well, there's a third thing. Qin Yi said, stroking Li Xinying's brain, "It's very hard, right? I want to work hard to get everyone's attention and affirmation." Since you were a child, you have to study hard and want your parents to pay more attention to you and care about yourself, but despite this, your parents still only care about making money, rarely give you company, and only occasionally praise you when you get your report card back. ”
Li Xinying was a little surprised: "It's amazing...... Teacher, why do you know?"
"Parents often have a misconception that giving their children a better life is what parents should do. Qin Yi said with a smile, "And there are two typical reactions of children, one is to try to perform better, and the other is to be unscrupulous and rebellious." The former is to get praise and affirmation from parents, while the latter is for the pleasure of revenge, in short, the fundamental reason for both is to want the attention of parents, not just the high monthly living expenses. ”
"Then what should I do?" Li Xinying asked distressedly, "I've worked hard......
"Just like parents have misconceptions, for children, it's also a misconception. I think that simply getting the attention of my parents can be satisfied, but in fact this is just drinking to quench my thirst, just letting myself fall deeper and deeper. You will never feel satisfied and want more affirmation and attention, yet you will not be able to be successful all the time. Qin Yi said with a smile.
Then, Qin Yi rubbed Li Xinying's head and explained: "It is impossible for people to climb up forever without falling, you will always have times when you are tired, and being as good as ever will only make your parents take it for granted; ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yi sighed: "Why is it difficult for people to communicate with each other? Because everyone is not so frank, what they think in their hearts becomes other words when they come to their mouths, and then the words in the other party's ears become another word after thinking in their heads." Why don't you try to tell your parents directly, what you need is not a superior material life, but their company?"
"But ......" Li Xinying was a little embarrassed, Qin Yi smiled: "But it's embarrassing? Isn't it? A girl who can lose thirty pounds of weight in four months, it is difficult to tell me frankly what she really thinks? The teacher has always believed that if you can even lose weight, then there is nothing in this world that can stump you." ”
"Hmm!" Li Xinying smiled and nodded, "I'll try my best!"
"Then the teacher is waiting for your good news. Qin Yi smiled and sandwiched some more barbecue meat for her.
"Teacher, I like you the most!" Li Xinying clasped her hands together and smiled happily.
"Because the teacher gave you attention when you needed it and affirmation?" Qin Yi asked with a smile, "Your life has just begun, and as you continue to pursue your excellent self, more and more people will affirm you." ”
"But only the teacher is the most special person, because the teacher was the one who encouraged me when I was that useless fat girl. That's why I like the teacher the most!" Li Xinying replied firmly, "When I grow up, I'll come back to chase the teacher!"
"If you still think that way when you grow up. Qin Yi smiled bitterly and said, "There is one more thing...... The teacher knows that you want to be praised for doing well, but at the same time, you need to pay attention to your relationships in the class, right?"
"Teacher, are you talking about composition?" Li Xinying asked, "But I didn't do anything wrong, they really didn't submit the composition, I did what the teacher said, and I just wrote down their names." ”
"Hmm...... Everyone thinks that the sin is not to be blamed. Qin Yi hesitated and said, "You see, people sometimes have to learn to be flexible. Of course, the teacher didn't say that you should use your authority to let them go, but you can put it another way, such as ......"
After thinking about it, Qin Yi continued: "For example, you can tell everyone, 'Teacher Qin said that if you don't submit your essay, you can go to the stage to give a speech, and it doesn't matter if you don't submit your essay, just say a few words on stage when the time comes.'" In this case, you can blame the teacher, and the students won't blame you, after all, Li Xinying is so cute, isn't it?"
"But why am I doing this? does it matter what they think of me? I'm not interested in them. Li Xinying asked puzzled. Qin Yi was a little helpless: "Then, do you know them? If you don't know them at all, you're not interested in them? Don't you really hate those people who judge others based only on their appearance? Aren't you exactly the same as that kind of person when you do this?"
"Hmm...... What the teacher said also makes sense. Li Xinying played with a touch of her hair and muttered.
"Right? The teacher is still very confident in the students he teaches, they are all very individual and talented people, you are willing to be patient to understand their words, I believe you will be interested in them. Qin Yi smiled and said, "Of course, everyone is also a teacher with shortcomings, and I don't deny it, but that doesn't mean that person is a bad person." ”
"I ...... Give it a try. Li Xinying said, looking at Qin Yi and blinking her eyes, "Why is the teacher so obsessed with this matter? ”
"It's one thing to not care about other people's eyes, but it's another thing to be happy like that. Qin Yi sighed, "How can I be happy when I am only one person in the class? After all, people are still social animals." High school life should be spent in noisy fights with friends, youth is only once, don't let yourself regret it. ”
"Hmm. Li Xinying smiled and nodded.
"Well, let's do it anyway today, it's not too early. Qin Yi looked at the time and said, "As for your cousin, before you move out, I'll give you a little prop to defend yourself." ”
As he spoke, Qin Yi took off a button from his clothes and handed it to Li Xinying.
"Buttons?" Li Xinying asked puzzled, Qin Yi explained: "This is actually a mini electric shocker, you can glue it to your own doorknob before you go to bed, if someone twists the doorknob, it will produce a high-voltage electric shock." It can work three times, and if you have this thing, you can sleep well at night, right?"
"It's so high-tech?" Li Xinying asked a little curiously, "I know, anyway, I will discuss with my parents about renting a house as soon as possible, and I will notify the teacher immediately when the time comes." ”
"Well, it's decided. Qin Yi smiled, then raised his hand and said, "Waiter, pay the bill." ”
After chatting with Li Xinying, Qin Yi went straight to the gym downstairs of his house, because he knew that he would definitely meet someone here. Sure enough, when he came, he saw Huang Tianming comparing with Han Tianyu here.
"Yo, Old Qin?" Huang Tianming asked curiously after seeing Qin Yi, "Why are you ...... today?"
But Qin Yi looked aggressive, rolled up his sleeves and forced Huang Tianming's side, so frightened that Huang Tianming retreated again and again: "Hey, what are you doing, Old Qin?
"Don't you want to learn boxing? Qin Yi waved his hand to Huang Tianming, "I'll teach you in actual combat." ”
"Don't, don't...... You don't look like you're trying to teach me, you're trying to beat me up. Huang Tianming hurriedly waved his hand.
"I'm coming!" Han Tianyu had a eager expression, and stepped forward to punch Qin Yi in the abdomen.
Qin Yi didn't dodge or dodge, he ate this punch stiffly, then arched his abdomen to guide the power of this punch to his feet, and then used the power of his whole body to reverse the power of this blow. Han Tianyu staggered back two steps and said in surprise: "Boss, what kind of skill are you, it seems that Murong Fu's Dou Zhuan Star Shift!"
"Tsk, don't talk nonsense, I'm not here for you. Qin Yi said impatiently, then pointed at Huang Tianming and said, "You stinky boy, why don't you have any manly demeanor? You took the lead in reading this morning, right?"
"No...... How could I be the one who took the lead? Ha, haha. Huang Tianming smiled dryly, but he actually knew that he couldn't hide it from Qin Yi, after all, Qin Yi used to engage in criminal psychology, and murderers couldn't lie in front of him.
"Whether you took the lead or not, you are a member of the disciplinary committee, and you chose to watch the play instead of rectifying the discipline in the class at that time, what is the difference between this and you taking the lead?" Qin Yi frowned and reprimanded.
"But she doesn't give me face at all!" Huang Tianming said unconvinced, "I have said good things to her, saying that please let me go." You also know that everyone is very tired after a day of spring travel, how can they still have the energy to write essays!"
"People are girls, and even if you are a little ghost, you should think she is a cute girl, right? You can't let people be a boy?" Qin Yi frowned and said, "I'll tell you, that's why I won't teach you boxing." Is force used to bully those who are weaker than you, or is it used to protect those who need your protection?"
"Oh, Lao Qin, you are really, this is not a hot-blooded martial arts movie, you are too middle-class, right?" Huang Tianming frowned and said, "What kind of boxing is for protection and exercise, these truths are also empty." In these days, isn't everyone learning boxing just to pretend to be forced? If others don't mess with me, of course I won't beat him. ”
"Really?" Qin Yi's expression sank, and his momentum suddenly became cold, he clenched his fist and said, "So, according to your reasoning, can I beat you up now?"
"You...... Are you kidding?" Huang Tianming was a little frightened, took a step back and said with a dry smile.
Although these truths are a bit empty and secondary, you have to understand that what kind of person a person will become does not depend on what kind of ability he has, but on what kind of person he wants to become. Qin Yi's expression became more and more cold, with a faint anger, "If you want to be a wicked person, then ask me for a sword here, as your teacher, I won't let you become such a person." Come on, it's class time. If you want to learn boxing, attack me. ”
"Hey, don't be kidding, old Qin ......" Huang Tianming took a step back, but Qin Yi had already launched an attack, and he punched Huang Tianming in the face, so frightened that Huang Tianming screamed and sat on the ground with his head covered, and Qin Yi's punch hit the sandbag, which was more than eighty pounds of sandbag and flew backwards, and then shook violently.
"Wow, Lao Qin, are you really here?!" Huang Tianming looked at the sandbag shaking above his head and swallowed his spit, "Aren't you afraid of being fired from the school for beating students?"
"Do you see my expression like I'm scared?" Qin Yi said coldly, "I always ask you why you learn boxing, just to confirm what kind of person you want to become in the future, so that I can know how you will use this ability." But now that I've confirmed, there's no doubt that you just want to 'do whatever you want'. Let's see what a terrible thing this power can be if you want to do whatever you want. Maybe then you'll understand why I didn't teach you. ”
Huang Tianming swallowed his saliva, at this moment, Qin Yi in front of him was no longer the kind teacher, Qin Yi's figure was like a ghost under the shadows.
"Don't, boss, he's also my disciple, give me some face. Han Tianyu came up to persuade at this time.
"Then you can show it in his place. Qin Yi turned his head to stare at Han Tianyu, that kind of look made Han Tianyu feel cold at that time, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble, and subconsciously wanted to retreat. You know, he's also a man who has been on the road, and he knows that kind of look very well: it's the eyes of a murderer. "Do you see my expression like I'm scared?" Qin Yi said coldly, "I always ask you why you learn boxing, just to confirm what kind of person you want to become in the future, so that I can know how you will use this ability."
