Lies are the first means of self-protection that each of us learns, each of us lies, and we live in a world of lies every day. Of course, lies can also be used for profit in order to achieve their own petty selfish desires or unbridled ambitions. Lies exist so contradictory in our lives that we have to use them to make a profit on the one hand, and we have to use them to protect ourselves on the other. We look for truth in the world of lies, but we have to lie insincerely in the real world.

It is said that people lie an average of six times a day, and hear as many as 50 lies, and we are not only deceiving others, we are also deceiving ourselves, we are born liars.

"I don't want to lie to him anymore." Xiao Yin put down the model parts in her hand, lowered her head, and said as thin as a mosquito's voice, with tremors in her voice, and her face was mixed with guilt and self-blame.

Zhou Ying looked at me curiously, as if asking, what happened?

Zhou Ying moved in yesterday, and when I came back in the morning, she and Lu Xue had already taken care of everything, and I was finally able to go back to my old hut, which I was still more used to living in, because it was more familiar to me, and it made me feel quieter and safer. For some reason, there was a faint scent wafting through the room, casting a layer of alienation over the familiar feeling, but if you ignore it, it's still the same as before, I told myself.

The dinner was still made by Lu Xue, and Zhou Ying wanted to help, but Lu Xue politely refused. Zhou Ying didn't seem to be annoyed by Lu Xue's refusal, but instead showed a natural look. The relationship between them seems to only stop at the relationship between roommates, and it is not closer because of Sun Hao's relationship, on the contrary, it seems that they are deliberately alienating each other, and they don't want each other to see it, which seems very weird.

After dinner, Xiao Yin came over again, continuing the unfinished model business, I didn't want to disturb the rest of their new roommates, but Lu Xue insisted on asking us to stay, Zhou Ying didn't object, I thought about it and agreed.

Xiao Yin's mood today is very low for some reason, every time she looks at me, her eyes are evasive, as if she is thinking about something, and finally she still asked, asking the question that made her confused, the question that made her confused.

"I don't want to lie to him anymore." There seemed to be a hint of determination in her trembling voice, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Lu Xue smiled at me, a smile that was a little sad, and there was also an inquiring look in her eyes.

"I can't go back." I gently put down the model parts and said flatly. I didn't go to see Xiao Yin because I didn't know how to face her self-blame and guilt-ridden eyes.

"What's wrong with continuing to cheat? You have nothing to lose, and you have peace and tranquility, oh, by the way, in the words of Xiaoshan, you have gained benefits. Zhou Ying seemed to remember this, took over the conversation, and said with a smile.

"But, but, I really don't want to lie to him anymore, to lie to them again, and every time I see them cheering over a graffiti, I feel my face red." Xiao Yin lowered her head and said crampedly, fiddling with the corners of her clothes uneasily.

"Is there anyone doubting it now?" I looked at Xiao Yin and asked, in fact, I didn't want to ask, but I asked anyway.

"Yes." Xiao Yin nodded.

"Xiao Yin, if you tell him the truth, it is very likely that you will become the public enemy of the whole class." Lu Xue said with a sigh. There was hesitation in his voice.

"I know, but I want to do it anyway." Xiao Yin raised her head and looked at me firmly.

Looking at Xiao Yin, I shook my head slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the cooling tea. "Why do you want to do that?"

"I don't know, I just don't want to continue cheating."

"Well," I nodded, put down the teacup, and said lightly, "For everyone's sake, and for your own sake, you feel that you are doing the right thing, and if you succeed, your prestige in everyone's hearts will also increase, and this matter is also caused by you, you feel that you need to correct it, don't you?" ”

Xiao Yin nodded lightly and lowered her head again.

"Your odds of success are very low." I thought about it for a moment, but said anyway, although this sentence is very cruel for a child.

"It's just, isn't it good now, there's no need to gamble your future school career for that pitiful success rate, it's not worth it." Zhou Ying was also busy persuading.

"But, but"

"Why can't you think so much about it, Xiaoshan said that the probability is very low, in fact, it is equivalent to nothing, believe my sister's words, don't do stupid things."

"Xiao Yin, still, don't talk about it." Lu Xue thought about it and persuaded her.

"But, but, I really don't want to watch you go on like this anymore."

"What does it have to do with you if someone is willing to go crazy." Zhou Ying continued to laugh and said.

"But, I" Xiao Yin bit her lower lip lightly, her voice choked, and finally cried.

She was still a child, and I shook my head gently.

"Have you decided?" I asked.

Xiao Yin shook her head, then nodded again.

Ruscher tugged at my sleeve and shook her head at me with a wry smile. I understood what she meant, and she wanted me to persuade Xiaoyin to dispel this idea, but after thinking about it, I shook my head.

"Do what you want, but there is no only one solution to anything, think more and use your brain." I said lightly.

"Xiaoshan, you, you're teaching bad children, you really want to see her abandoned by the class, don't think about it, child, although your courage is commendable." Zhou Ying hurriedly stopped, with anger in her voice.

I ignored Zhou Ying and continued, "If you want to be a hero, do it, but not everyone who wants to be a hero can succeed, there are very few successful people, heroes don't only need wisdom and courage, but also an indispensable condition, that is, to survive, only those who survive are heroes." ”

Xiao Yin lowered her head as if she was thinking seriously, and nodded solemnly after a while.

Lu Xue was silent about my words, and it took a long time for a wry smile to appear. Zhou Ying was sarcastic, looking at Xiao Yin as if she was looking at a ridiculous and stupid madman, and I was the demon who turned others into crazy.

Heroes, courage, I don't know when it began, we forgot the idea of being heroes, courage is slowly worn out in real life, we are like a thief, cunning to hide ourselves, for the sake of that small benefit, for ourselves not to be harmed, carefully lived, although humble, but at least we are alive.

Courage, I shook my head slightly.

I don't know what Xiao Yin did later, she never mentioned it again, and in the subsequent contact, she never mentioned anything about heroes, about courage.
