Gu Jin noticed that her complexion wasn’t too bad, so she nodded gently, "That’s good. You stay in the hospital for now and get two more days of anti-inflammatory fluids. I’ll help you take a leave from school."
"No, no, no need for a leave. I’m fine. See, I can jump and hop around now, nothing’s wrong with !"
Afraid that Gu Jin wouldn’t believe her, Ma Qiaolan jumped and hopped in place.
Glancing at her face, where the injuries had faded but were still evident, Gu Jin said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I know you’re fine."
Ma Qiaolan stopped.
Then Gu Jin changed her tone, "You don’t want to go to school with a face like this, right? Be good, stay in the hospital for these couple of days, and go back to school after the injuries on your face have subsided sowhat."
Since waking up, Ma Qiaolan didn’t feel much pain and hadn’t paid it much attention.
She unconsciously reached up to touch her face and felt a slight sting when her hand brushed against it.
Ma Qiaolan’s eyes surveyed the hospital room and quickly locked onto the direction of the bathroom.
She turned and walked quickly towards it.
Standing inside the bathroom, looking at her bruised and swollen face in the mirror, the ease in her eyes disappeared, and the resentnt that was already clear beca intense.
Gu Jin, leaning against the door, looked at Ma Qiaolan in the mirror, unsurprised by her true feelings at this mont.
Anyone who has been humiliated and bullied bears resentnt and hatred in their heart.
Even though the Strengthening Foundation and Nourishing Essence Pill worked well, it couldn’t also heal Ma Qiaolan’s emotions.
Ma Qiaolan looked at the mirror and saw Gu Jin leaning against the door, her eyes slowly turning red.
She stared into the eyes of Gu Jin in the mirror, chokingly said, "They went too far!"
Seeing Ma Qiaolan like this, Gu Jin’s face showed a hint of a smile.
The previous strange feeling lted away, and before her was the truly emotional Ma Qiaolan.
She stepped forward, putting her hands on the other’s shoulders, and asked calmly, "Qiaolan, what do you think?"
"I don’t know, I don’t know, they went too far, but I can’t fight them, I tried my best—"
The events of last night were as fresh as ever, including her unusual behavior, grabbing a doctor whose face she couldn’t even rember.
She rembered everything!
She couldn’t believe it was herself; it felt like a stranger, like a madwoman!
Gu Jin could hear her grievances, unwillingness, resentnt, and the deeply hidden inferiority.
Her voice was gentle yet steady, "Qiaolan, if others don’t wrong , I won’t wrong them; if people wrong , I will surely return it tenfold one day. This saying is a guiding principle for .
Always rember, only you can protect yourself. Simply put, if soone lays a hand on you, you must hit back. Even if you can’t beat them, you still have to fight. Don’t believe that retreating will bring peace; that’s nonsense.
So people you can tolerate and be magnanimous with, but so people are not worth forgiving. Whatever happened yesterday, as long as you can withstand it yourself, the road ahead will always be smooth, and you’ll beco stronger."
"Withstand? How can I withstand it?" Ma Qiaolan’s eyes turned confused.
"That depends on you." It was sothing Gu Jin couldn’t help with.
She could help her temporarily, but not for a lifeti.
In such an experience, only by fighting back herself can she overco it and not let it cast a shadow over her life.
If she helped her, it would be a temporary fix, not a permanent solution, and Ma Qiaolan would still carry this gloomy mory for life.
Ma Qiaolan’s hands clenched tightly into fists, with such force.
The overexertion left her hands bloodless, with the veins on the back of her hands clearly visible.
