Chapter 8: The Big Difference

She stopped, turned around, and looked at me with a smile: "What's wrong again?" ”

The light under the dormitory floor is reflected on her face, which makes her smile even more beautiful.

I looked at her smiling face and said, "That'...... I want to ask you something. ”

She smiled and turned back again, "Say it." ”

"Last time you said that you had a friend who had also squatted in a juvenile detention center, you said, he was very different from me." I looked at her seriously and asked, "I want to ask you how I am different from him." ”

She seemed stunned for a moment, and then said, "So you remember this?" ”

I nodded heavily: "I want to know." ”

She still smiled: "Then tell me first, what kind of life you live in the juvenile detention center." ”

I was stunned for a moment, wondering why she suddenly asked this.

I fell silent and my face became a little ugly, and my life in the juvenile detention center was like a nightmare for me, and I really didn't want to remember it anymore.

Yao Yue saw my expression, as if she had guessed my thoughts, she said, "It's okay, I don't want to mention it or not, I can guess it anyway." ”

This girl is amazing, why does she know what is going on in my mind every time?

I exhaled deeply and said, "It's okay, I said." ”

Reminiscing about life in prison again is like reliving a nightmare. Every night when they return to their dormitories, they are humiliated and toyed with by their fellow inmates.

The days in prison are quite boring, whether it is a prison or a juvenile detention center, and those who are weak will definitely become entertainment toys for those who are strong. Unfortunately, I'm the weakest one.

Even the bed he slept on must be the closest to the latrine.

There is no way to do this, where can I get into the juvenile detention center with fuel-efficient lamps? I'm such an honest child, mixed in with a group of young people with irritable personalities, and it's strange not to be bullied.

I don't know if they know what we juvenile offenders do in private, maybe they know, but they all turn a blind eye, as long as it doesn't make too much trouble, they will treat it as if they don't see it.

Sometimes I toiled during the day to get out of this place with a reduced sentence, but I couldn't do it too late, because not only did I have to do my part, but I also had to do my part for him.

I didn't tell anyone about these things, not even my parents (well, I don't seem to have anyone else to tell me besides my parents), but now, I told all the girl in front of me, this ruffian girl who had known her for less than a day.

At this time, I didn't seem to be afraid of losing face anymore, as if I had finally found an object to tell my bitterness, and I vomited out all the bitterness in prison. As I spoke, my eyes gradually turned red, and the cool breeze blew through my eyes. I tried my best to hold back the tears in my eyes and not let it fall, and I didn't want her to see me like this anyway.

Yao Yue leaned on the faucet with one arm, listening to me quietly, I don't know how long I spoke, but she didn't show any impatience the whole time, I could only hear the sound of the water droplets on the faucet.

Thinking about it later, with her character, it was really a miracle to be able to stand there and listen to me for so long. And it's a miracle that I was able to say so much to a girl I just met.

Maybe some things really depend on fate.

After hearing this, Yao Yue squinted her eyes and said lightly, "Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and him?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't know. ”

Yao Yue blinked: "Guess what." ”

...... "I'm a little speechless, I don't even know that friend of yours, where can I guess this?"

But then I thought about the people who were with me in the juvenile detention center, in the past three years, I had really seen all kinds of bastards, Yao Yue's friend must also be a bastard, they are all bastards, where can the difference be?

Thinking like this, I said: "If he can be imprisoned in a juvenile detention center, then he must be a ruthless person, and I am an honest person, and the difference between him is naturally very different." ”

Yao Yue shook her head: "You only guessed correctly." ”

I asked, "What about the other half?" ”

Yao Yue looked at me and said, "He's a smart guy, and you're a." ”

Me: "......"

Yao Yue looked at my expression, covered her mouth and giggled, and then said, "Okay, okay, actually, I'm not joking, I'm serious." ”

I watched her quietly, knowing that she must have something to do.

She paused, then said, "That friend of mine, although he is a little grumpy, is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, and can even be described as 'fine'. ”

"Indeed, no matter how irritable and lawless a person who comes out of the juvenile detention center is before entering the detention center, after all, he is only a teenager under the age of eighteen, and they are still too small in front of the leaders and corrections of the juvenile detention center."

"Those stupid and rebellious people, when they just go in, they may still contradict the correctional staff, just like they used to contradict the teacher at school, hahaha, maybe they will still think they are still in school."

"But they forgot that they are in a juvenile detention center, not at school or at home, no one will get used to them, and the correctional management will not be afraid of anything, because there, the correctional management is the law and the sky!"

"When a slap is given to them in the face, the transformation is officially started, and after that, they will be beaten several times a day for different reasons, until they are really convinced, and they are honest."

I looked at Yao Yue in surprise, yes, what she said was exactly the same as what I saw in the juvenile detention center.

"You know so much about life in a juvenile detention center?" I asked her.

"yes, I just listened to that person." Yao Yue said with a smile.

"Oh......" I nodded, thinking to myself that the person Yao Yue was talking about should be a man, right? ……

I asked again, "After talking for a long time, you still don't seem to tell me, what is the difference between me and him?" ”

"I'm about to say it now." Yao Yue said: "The difference between him and you, oh no, it should be said that the biggest difference between him and those ordinary juvenile delinquents is that he knows his weight in front of those corrections and knows how to restrain his edge. ”

In front of the discipline, he always acted as if he knew that he was wrong, and never showed his edge, but pretended to be a docile sheep. Moreover, he is very good at 'being a man', he has a good relationship with every correctional officer, and sometimes even the correctional director will give him a cigarette and smoke, although he may have been ruthless in his heart to those who treat prisoners as animals, but he also holds it in his heart, because he knows that going against these people will do him no harm. ”

"Originally, he was sentenced to three years like you, but he came out in one year." Yao Yue said lightly.

I looked surprised: "Why? ”

"The sentence has been commuted." Yao Yue shrugged her shoulders: "If you perform well inside, and you have a good relationship with the correction, these things are not difficult to do." ”

I was silent, I was honest enough and good enough to be honest enough at the beginning, every time I worked as a laborer, I was the one who did the most work, but I never thought about having a good relationship with the correctional department, so that I applied for several commutations, but very few passed, and in the end it was only slightly reduced by two months.

But if you think about it, maybe even if I could think of it, I wouldn't be able to do it.

Those graceful flattery, sweet words, I have never said since I was a child, and I can't say it.

"Now you understand, when I talk about the difference between you, it's not just in personality."

"A lion, no matter how long it has been in the zoo, will never disappear, no matter how well-behaved it is in front of the animal trainer, it is still a lion." Yao Yue looked at me and smiled: "And you are a docile sheep yourself, after you come out, of course you are a more docile sheep......"

When I heard this, I jerked up my head and looked at her and said, "I don't want to be a docile sheep, for the sheep can only be eaten by wild beasts!" ”

She was stunned for a moment, and looked at me stunned.

Later, she told me that my eyes at that time looked like a sheep, and it was obviously a fierce wolf.

But after I said this, I realized that my tone was a little heavy, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at your ......"

When Yao Yue saw my appearance, she actually laughed again. This is really a girl who loves to laugh......

Yao Yue still had a smile on her face and said, "Actually, sheep are also quite good, although they are in danger of being eaten by wild beasts at any time. But did you know that there are thousands of sheep in a flock, and the danger of being eaten by wild beasts is only one in a thousand, if not ten thousand? ”

"Sheep want food, they just have to lower their heads and eat grass, but wild animals can't, they have to risk going out every day to hunt for food, although they have few natural predators, but they are not at the top of the food chain."

I was a little confused by Yaoyue's misty words, and I read these two sentences over and over again in my heart, but I still didn't understand what she meant.

By the time I raised my head again, Yaoyue was gone, and I was the only one left in the clearing, and the sound of the faucet's "ticking" water.
