Chapter 64: Bullying must be nipped in the bud
"Hmm? This Ji Chen is quite friendly."

Chu Yi found that Ji Chen was smiling at him and waved to him.

He smiled because he finally got Shanglong and gained a powerful new skill, so of course he was very happy.

As for Ji Chen, he seemed to be very friendly to everyone and always had a polite smile on his face.

Just as Chu Yi was about to go back to the hotel, Ji Chen came up to him in front of everyone and asked in a friendly tone: "I have something I want to say to you in private. Are you free?"

Ji Chen, who had just won the game, was the focus of the whole audience. The audience, reporters, and cameras were all facing him.

When he and Chu Yi smiled at each other just now, it had already attracted the attention of many people.

Now they have even brought each other so close, and what they say is so thought-provoking, which immediately ignites the rotten girl souls of countless girls who are watching the live broadcast.

As the saying goes, a lesbian sees homosexuality in a person. There is actually nothing wrong with what Ji Chen said, but to these girls with rich imaginations, it sounded so ambiguous and unclean.

"Ah~~~ I suddenly feel that these two kids have a good CP feeling. Is this something I can say?"

"Knocking on anything will only hurt you."

"Everything I knock on just makes me happy."

"It's really a good match. Two beautiful boys met and got to know each other in the national competition, and they were destined to meet in the finals, performing a heart-wrenching drama of love and hate. Just thinking about this plot makes people excited."

"And judging by their talent, the national competition is just the beginning. They may even go to a middle school to continue the battle."

"So this is the destined couple? Love it."

"Then the question is, who is the top and who is the bottom?"

"Need I ask? Chu Yi looks like a domineering CEO. His contemptuous look is like that of a little wolf cub."

"In this case, Ji Chen is indeed more gentle, like a little lamb."

"Zadodler."

………………

I can only say that this is the current trend on the Internet. When two handsome guys get together, it is easy to cause similar discussions.

Not only girls, but many boys are also playing with the meme, with comments like "Brother, you smell so good" constantly appearing.

"Then let's find a place to talk."

Although Chu Yi didn't know what Ji Chen wanted to talk about, but seeing his serious expression, it must be something very important.

Soon the two of them came to a lounge. After closing the door, Ji Chen looked at Chu Yi and said, "Lu Yu was trying to trick you on the show before. It was the sponsor of the show who instructed her to do so. I am also the spokesperson for this brand."

Chu Yi was a little surprised: "So it's this matter, I didn't take it to heart."

"It's your business if you don't take it to heart, but the truth of the matter must be made clear."

Ji Chen paused, and continued with a serious expression: "Although I have never let anyone embarrass you, you have indeed encountered a lot of troubles because of me during this period of time. After all, it was me who caused it, so I want to give you..."

"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing?"

Chu Yi interrupted Ji Chen's next words and said, "It is a virtue for a man to correct his mistakes when he knows them, but if you take the blame for something that is not your fault, then you are a bit of a pushover.

What's more, I won't take my anger out on others because of such a small grievance."

"You...do you think so?"

Chu Yi's words stunned Ji Chen. From childhood to adulthood, Ji Chen was taught to be obedient, polite, kind to others, and not to easily conflict with others.

If you have a conflict with others, you should reflect on whether you have done anything wrong.

Because he is a star, any of his actions will be scrutinized by netizens.

This is true at home and even more so at school.

Everyone saw how glamorous, well-behaved and sensible he was in front of the camera.

But behind the camera, he faces endless work.

Speeches, advertisements, short videos, photo shoots, these things he doesn't like at all, take up most of his time.

He still has to train Xiaoqing for the rest of the time, so his chances of resting and relaxing are almost zero.

Because his schedule was packed, he often asked for leave from school, so much so that he still hasn't recognized all of his classmates.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to make friends with his classmates, it’s just that they spend too little time together.

As a result, his classmates complained that he was too aloof and disdainful of making friends with others. In the end, they even ganged up on him to isolate him.

Ji Chen felt that he was wronged and wanted to argue, but his parents' teachings made him finally choose to endure this misunderstanding.

"When you are treated unfairly, think carefully about whether you are at fault, because it takes two to tango."

Ji Chen thought about it carefully and felt that he did have some problems.

If he hadn't asked for leave so often, his classmates wouldn't have so many misunderstandings about him, and he wouldn't have been isolated.

If he took the initiative to apologize to his classmates, he might be forgiven immediately and then embrace friendship.

This has always been Ji Chen’s thought.

But after meeting Chu Yi, I realized that I didn't need to apologize for every wrong thing.

At this moment, Ji Chen found that his worldview was trembling, and his eyes were filled with confusion and fear of the unknown.

When Chu Yi saw Ji Chen's confused look, he took the initiative to ask what was going on.

Afterwards, Ji Chen told him about his experiences over the years and the "philosophy of apology" taught by his parents.

After listening to Ji Chen's narration, Chu Yi's expression was very complicated.

Although they are both parents, Chu Yi feels that his parents are much better than Ji Chen's.

"You might not believe it."

Chu Yi pulled a stool over and sat down: "My dad told me that I'm not allowed to cause trouble in school, but if someone takes the initiative to provoke you, you must fight back, no matter how big the trouble is, he will take care of it."

"You mean fighting?" Ji Chen asked in shock, "But the problem can be solved by simply apologizing, why do we have to resort to fighting, which is bad for everyone?"

"It's not my fault, so why should I apologize?" Chu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that Ji Chen's family might be pretended to be the Japanese people next door. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they can only say a few words.
Seeing that Ji Chen still didn't understand, Chu Yi continued to say to him: "As a man, it is a compulsory course to distinguish right from wrong. Blindly compromising and apologizing will not solve any problems. Instead, it will make others think you are weak, and then bully you even more.

As for the matter of taking leave to study, the school has agreed. What qualifications do outsiders have to say anything?
If they target you because of such a small matter, it is better not to make friends with them.

So remember, it's not them who isolate you, but you who isolate them, understand?"
