Chapter 465: Impermanent Things, Colorful Voices (3)
She hesitated and said: "Shan Yu, my name is Shan Yu."
The children in the hospital didn't know "Yu", so they often called her by different names. Their intonations were not correct and when they gave her nicknames, it became "Yao".
Qiao Yu couldn't explain why, but she always felt that she shouldn't tell him her full name, so she lied.
She is a good liar - since the color of lies is flickering, the more fixed and clear the color of her voice when she lies, the less likely it will be noticed.
"Yao? The name is so cute and sounds so nice." The man also misheard the tone and took it for granted that she couldn't pronounce it correctly, so he smiled even deeper as if he was impressed by the cuteness.
A bright pink flashed before Qiao Yu's eyes, like paint painted on the wall by workers, sticky and flowing downwards.
She was instinctively queasy.
"Thank you, uncle." Qiao Yu whispered, already about to turn around and leave.
"You're so good! Do you want some candy?" The man smiled, "My surname is Zhao, you can call me Uncle Zhao."
"No... no need." Qiao Yu blinked nervously and said in a thin voice, "I don't like sweet things."
She lied again.
But the lie failed to help Qiao Yu leave - experience told her that children should not suddenly turn around and run away when talking to adults. That would be very rude and would hurt something called "face" that only adults have. Once injured, their breathing sound will become heavier and turn red like fire, which means anger, and often has serious consequences.
"Oh? Really, it doesn't matter. Do you want to hear a story, little potato?" The man smiled reluctantly and said, "Uncle runs a bookstore and has many story books. Do you want to hear it?"
He stretched out his hand and patted his thigh: "Come on, be good, come here, uncle will tell you a story."
A pink color like mud flashed before Qiao Yu's eyes, and the color blocks mixed with the liquid and flowed out, forming a terrifying grimace.
Obviously she didn't hate the color, but there had never been a moment when she found it as disgusting as it was now.
"No, no, thank you, uncle."
The smile on Qiao Yu's face could no longer be maintained, and she stepped back cautiously.
At this time Hua Ling ran over from the yard.
"Hey! What are you doing?" she asked.
Qiao Yu was startled.
"It's okay..." she murmured, "I'm going back."
"Go! Why are you just standing there? That's weird!" Hua Ling had never been polite to her.
Out of the corner of his eye, Qiao Yu saw that the uncle's face turned dark and he "tsk" in displeasure.
Sure enough, the color can't deceive, he was just faking it.
Qiao Yu was once again convinced that his judgment was correct and was about to leave.
Then she saw the man showing a loving smile again, calling Hua Ling over to listen to the story.
"Coming!"
Hua Ling ran over happily, and Qiao Yu didn't even have time to stop her.
The bookstore not far away looked like a giant man-eating beast. Qiao Yu's heart was shocked and she didn't have the courage to go over and pull Hua Ling back.
sorry.
She said something painfully in her heart and fled back to the yard.
After that, Hua Ling came to Qiao Yu mysteriously.
"Hey, Mosquito Fish." She said proudly, her eyebrows raised upward, "Did Uncle Zhao touch you?"
Qiao Yu shivered in shock: "What? No, no."
"Ha!" Hua Ling became even more proud, even assuming the posture of a winner.
Look! Sure enough, Uncle Zhao likes me more! He thinks I'm prettier and cuter than a mosquito fish!
I won!
Seeing her lively appearance, Qiao Yu felt colder and colder, and shivered again.
"Hua Ling." She whispered, "That person is a bad person."
Hua Ling jumped up as if she had been burned.
"You do it again!" she screamed, "You do it again! If people don't like you, you think you're a bad person!"
"I'm not--"
"Mosquito fish, you are so mean! You are just jealous of me!"
"I do not--"
The straightforward hatred in her voice made Qiao Yu frown in discomfort. She was much better than she was a few years ago. She wouldn't shrink in pain just by hearing the harsh sound, but now facing the furious Hua Ling, she still did No loud rebuttal.
Hua Ling gave a loud "hum" and turned away.
Qiao Yu looked at her back with empty eyes.
She realized that some people didn't like to hear the truth, even when describing the facts.
God has given me abilities that are different from ordinary people, and it seems that God has also cast a curse of "not being believed by others".
From then on, Qiao Yu became even better at lying.
She showed a cute smile to Xiaoyou, Jingjing, Hua Ling, and some adults with weird eyes, and she just said that they were right. Today's headdress looked very good, and she was envious of it.
"That's great, I wish I had one too." Eleven-year-old Qiao Yu said with a soft smile.
Hua Ling raised her chin.
"You won't be so annoying when you grow up!" She said in an old-fashioned tone.
Qiao Yu just pursed her lips and smiled, obediently, and didn't answer.
"Hmph, if someone gives me a flower in my head again, I'll give you one!" Hualing was as proud as a peacock, her eyes narrowed proudly.
She is already a winner, and there is no need to compete with a little guy like Qiao Yu.
"Okay, thank you."
Qiao Yu still smiled and nodded.
She found that once people become "cognizant", they seem to receive more kindness - even if it is only superficial.
But that's enough, isn't it? Isn't it enough to live a decent life and not have a difficult life?
Qiao Yu smiled appropriately and agreed.
Like all the stereotypical pretty girls, become smart and cunning.
She began to test the magic of sound, read many books on color and emotion interpretation, kept learning and experimenting, and became more and more skilled in observing words and colors, knowing when to say what to say and what to do.
On this seemingly correct path, Qiao Yu reached the first grade of junior high school without incident.
She was weak when she was a child and started school late, one grade later than Hua Ling of the same age.
One day after school, Hualing, who had been patting her chest a few days ago and said she would cover her in school, grabbed Qiao Yu menacingly on the way back to the orphanage.
The sound of breathing was heavy, there was a sound of sobbing, and the red, blue and pink colors were intertwined... Is she feeling aggrieved and ashamed?
Qiao Yu analyzed it reflexively and prepared herself mentally almost instinctively.
"Snapped"!
She was slapped by Hua Ling.
This was not the first time this happened. Qiao Yu's face turned to the other side according to the force. She endured the pain and paused intentionally. Within a few seconds, Hualing slapped her loudly again.
The two times were superimposed together, and the pain lessened and turned into numbness. Qiao Yu blinked slowly.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly, seizing the opportunity to turn around.
In front of Qiao Yu, Hua Ling's eyes were filled with tears, but her expression was furious, her whole person was irritable and collapsed.
"You liar! Green tea! Scheming bitch!" She cursed loudly, and also cursed many dirty words she learned from the gangsters in school.
Qiao Yu's ears were buzzing, she took a breath and smiled obediently.
"Senior Hua Ling, what's wrong?" she asked softly.
"Senior Sister" is what Hua Ling is required to call her after she goes to school.
Hualing raised her hand, and Qiao Yu subconsciously closed her eyes, but the third slap did not fall.
"You are the best at pretending to be innocent!"
Hua Ling cursed the last sentence fiercely, threw her schoolbag and left.
When she turned around, the riveted schoolbag knocked Qiao Yu staggering.
Deficiency of energy, and the tone of speech is not solid...
Qiao Yu stretched out her hand to touch half of her face, which was aching achingly, while still looking at Hua Ling's back.
Hua Ling knew that something that happened today was actually her own problem, but she just didn't want to admit it, so she took her anger out on me?
Qiao Yu lowered his eyelids and thought carefully for a while.
Back in the hospital, she found an opportunity to ask Xiaoyou, who liked to play with her when she was a child.
"What did you teach in biology class today?" Qiao Yu asked.
Xiaoyou's face turned red, and he completely lost the look of a little boy who usually made a fuss.
"You, don't ask nonsense!" He ran away as if running away.
Qiao Yu didn't chase her, but just sat there and pressed the half of her face that had been swollen with ointment and showed signs of subsidence.
Okay, sophomore biology class.
Hua Ling probably knew that some parts of girls should not be touched.
Qiao Yu was different from when she was a child, her thoughts became indifferent.
I said that bookstore owners are not good people, but you don’t believe it.
Qiao Yu thought with an expressionless face and was fully mentally prepared at the same time.
If Hua Ling still cares about her "escape" back then, her subsequent junior high school career may not be easy.
