Photo? What photo? Why do I have a bad feeling?

"Hey, monitor, what do you think? I put this photo on the dressing table every day!"

The photo on the dressing table? Wait! Isn’t that a photo of me when I was a child? The green young man who was in the fifth grade of elementary school given away by his father, the heroic little shot in front of Tiananmen Square, the me before I became disabled.

?

"Xiaoqin, why do you put the boy's photo in the bedroom? However, this little boy is quite cute..."

Don't say I'm cute! Especially don't say it from your mouth, monitor! That cute me is gone forever! The more you say he's cute, the sadder I feel!

"Hey, monitor, you think he's cute too, right? How about that? I have good taste, right?"

You have such a good sense! A girl who likes someone like me must be blinded by lard! Can you travel through time and see the young lady from the past in me?

"Although this little boy is very cute, this is a girl's bedroom after all. Xiaoqin, you..."

"Squad leader, don't worry about this for now. You haven't guessed who he is yet? Guess! Guess, okay?"

"Is it someone I know?"

"Hmph, I can't say I know you, and I can't say I don't know you..."

"Are you an actor? Appeared on TV?"

"It may appear on TV in the future, but no, keep guessing!"

"I can't guess, Xiaoqin, just tell me directly."

"No, it would be pointless to tell you! Let me give you a hint, he is my childhood sweetheart and I have been secretly destined to be my lifelong sweetheart..."

Who has been your childhood sweetheart? Who has made a lifelong love affair with you! The boy in that photo has been abused and persecuted by you in 1,001 ways. He even dreamed of escaping from your clutches!

"Private...Private life? Xiaoqin, are you a little too precocious? Although he looks much better than Ye Lin, you can't judge a book by its appearance, right?"

Xiaoqin doesn’t mature early! She is a standard late maturer! And monitor, you judge people by their appearance! Why do you say he is much better than me just by looking at the photo? We are obviously the same person!

"I just like him. What can I do! Monitor, I've given you so many reminders, can't you guess it?"

You can guess that there is a ghost! According to a distant relative of mine (my seventh aunt), when I was a child, people wanted to hug me and buy me sweets when they looked at me. Now, they want to run away when they look at me.

I want to call the police!

"Do you have to guess? Could it be that he was your neighbor when you were a child? You, him, and Ye Lin used to play together? Wait, I know why you like him! It must be that Ye Lin often bullies you, and you share the same problem, right?

?”

That's wrong, monitor! It's so wrong!

But with normal people's thinking, we can only come to this conclusion, right? You can't imagine that cute little shota growing up like me, right?

"I can't stand it anymore, monitor, you never guess right! In fact, this photo is of Ye Lin..."

Why do you have to reveal the truth now? Do you want to reveal all the secrets to the squad leader? Xiaoqin, are you too thorough in carrying out the plan of "I am more stupid"! The squad leader found out about my embarrassing past, in front of her

I can no longer hold my head up!

At this critical moment, the two girls couldn't help but lower their voices. I couldn't hear what they were saying.

I still despise this behavior of deliberately putting my ear to the bedroom door.

After a while, the monitor opened the door and walked out alone.

She looked at me with eyes full of pity, and sat down on the sofa without saying a word. Unlike last time, she didn't deliberately distance herself from me.

For the class monitor who strictly abides by the "100 Rules Prohibiting Intimate Contact between Boys and Girls", this is an extremely deviant behavior.

"Ye Lin, I already know about the photo in Xiaoqin's bedroom..."

Sure enough, has Xiaoqin told you? She revealed her trump card so quickly. She is thinking of the finale!

"I'm really sorry for what happened to you... I can understand a little bit more about how you treated Xiaoqin in school..."

It’s not just a little bit, it should be understood completely, right! Tooth for tooth, blood for blood, my reasons for bullying her are completely legitimate, and my methods are completely legal!

"But I don't want you to resent Xiaoqin because of this. After all, she didn't mean it."

Didn't you do it on purpose? You kicked me into the river and kicked me into the pit, and you still want to say it didn't happen on purpose? How do you want me to stop resenting her?

"Actually, when something like this happens, Xiaoqin is the most saddened..."

Is she sad? Bullying is the basis of happiness. She has bullied me for so many years, and her happiness level has long been full. How could she be sad?

"Ye Lin, please don't say anything. I know you have been blaming Xiaoqin all these years. Because of her, your brother went missing..."

"My brother!? Where did I get my brother? How on earth did Xiaoqin tell you about our childhood past?"

The squad leader turned away slightly, as if he couldn't bear to see what kind of expression would appear on my face after denying this matter.

"Xiaoqin told me that you wouldn't admit that you have a younger brother, and that's true..."

"But things have already happened. There is no use in escaping. We have to face it, right?"

What the monitor said confused me, so I asked her to repeat the "facts" Xiaoqin said.

Just as I expected.

Xiaoqin is indeed making up a story.

According to what she said, I have a brother who is one year younger than me. He is smart, kind and cute, and he is nothing like his brother.

When I was young, the three of us often played together. I played the role of a monster, and they played the role of the male and female supermen who protect the earth.

Later, when I grew older, I felt it was shameful to play with girls, so I alienated Xiaoqin and asked my younger brother not to play with her anymore.

But Xiaoqin and my younger brother liked each other in a stupid way. We were always together when we were in elementary school, and the two brothers often quarreled over this matter.

In order not to be caught by me, Xiaoqin and my brother always went to remote places to play, even though they were warned several times by their family members that there was danger.

Finally one time, when the two of them were playing hide-and-seek in the shipyard, Xiaoqin couldn't find my brother even after the sun had set. She ran home crying and later called the police. Many people came out to search but to no avail. My brother was there.

He disappeared out of thin air, and there were rumors among the neighbors that he had been abducted by human traffickers.

Because my younger brother disappeared while playing hide-and-seek with Xiaoqin, I hated Xiaoqin very much. When we met, I couldn’t help being cold and bullying her. But Xiaoqin had a deep feeling for me in her heart.

I feel guilty, so I let me bully me without resisting.

Things have recently gotten out of hand, because Xiaoqin's longing for my brother and her guilt for me were mixed together, and she gradually developed uncontrollable emotions for me.

Xiaoqin told the squad leader that she had fallen hopelessly in love with me and would ask me to forgive her at all costs. She would spend her whole life repaying the wrong things she had done.

It's so touching... no, what a bloody story! It's obviously inspired by Mitsuru Adachi's "Baseball Heroes"! Why do you like the old-fashioned plot of your brother after your brother dies? Monitor, why don't you read more comics?

I was deceived!

What's the point of Xiaoqin making up this lie? Is it just to tease people?

No, if you think about it carefully, she cleverly avoided the dark history between us, perfectly explained the strange relationship between us, and also gave herself a layer of tragic heroine color.

With this sad story, even a gossip lover like Da Xiaoxiao would be embarrassed to ask about Xiao Qin’s past, right?

It’s really a false story about killing two birds with one stone!

In addition to sympathy, the squad leader also advised Xiaoqin to work hard to get out of the shadow of the past and not to have incorrect feelings for me.

She explained to Xiaoqin: "I understand your guilt towards Ye Lin, but you like your younger brother, so how can you use him as a substitute? Although he is missing now, he may not be seen again in the future.

How will you face him when he appears in front of you again?"

It is said that Xiaoqin was speechless after hearing the squad leader's question, as if she had never thought of this possibility.

Nonsense! We are basically the same person! Xiaoqin's story is full of various metaphors about "the past me" and "the present me". Rather than trying to deceive you, it is better to say that she wants to deceive herself.

Forget about that unbearable history of wild boy street fighting.

You've trapped yourself in a cocoon! I originally wanted to emphasize to the squad leader the "unbreakable strong bond" between you and me, and hint to the squad leader not to involve a third party, but because the story was not set up well, the squad leader caught the flaw!

The squad leader doesn’t know that my fictitious brother refers to the “past me”, and thinks that you like me out of a twisted feeling that should be corrected. There is nothing reprehensible in this judgment!

For the monitor, a demon of justice, in order to safeguard the rights and interests of my younger brother who may still exist in the world, and in order to safeguard the true feelings in your heart, Xiaoqin, it would be unreasonable not to make such a judgment!

"Ye Lin, I won't mention your brother to make you sad anymore, but you have to believe me, I can completely understand the pain in your heart."

The monitor gently patted my shoulder to express comfort.

"I wrongly blamed you before. I thought you would threaten Shu Zhe... In fact, when you rescued him under the Jiangqiao, you saw the shadow of your brother in him, right?"

I didn’t see any shadow! Even if I have a younger brother, he is a muscular Spartan and will not let others bully him!

"Well... you said on the subway that you would help me train Shu Zhe so that he would not fail in physical education classes. If you are still willing, come over and teach him the tricks of exercise... I will cook for you...

"

What kind of look is this? Is it sympathy? It is indeed sympathy! A sympathy deeper than the peach blossom pond! Enough is enough, monitor! Are you going to share your brother with me to alleviate the pain in my heart?
