In the brief two seconds, Shen Jize simulated many possible responses Shen Yue might give in his mind, but did not expect this result.
He cries beautifully?
Shen Jize was still hearing such an evaluation for the first time. Although he did not know how to respond, he knew his face must be very red now.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever he cried, the adults around him would tell him that he was a towering man who could not cry at every turn.
At school, if he cried, the other students would also mock him, saying that such a big boy was still crying.
But he didn't understand why he couldn't cry.
There were always too many emotions in his heart that he didn't know how to express, and only crying could make him feel a little better.
He also wanted to be like others, waving sweat on the court, he also wanted to run on the runway and rush to the end with hope in the cheers of everyone, but he couldn't.
Since childhood, he has been different from others.
He didn't understand why a small cut on someone else's hand was irrelevant, but he couldn't stand it.
He didn't understand why other people's blood could heal without bandaging, while he would bleed non-stop once he shed blood.
He didn't understand...why the eyes of the children on TV would turn to them when they cried, and asked caringly why they cried, while his parents just took it for granted.
"Jize's brain is much smarter than ordinary children, and crying often to relieve brain pressure is normal."
Mom said so.
So he cried even more unscrupulously. At first he wanted to prove something, but now he was used to it and couldn't change it.
He didn't want to cry either.
Especially now that he is 16 years old, in two more years, he will become an adult, and he really wants to get rid of the habit of crying, after all, it is very strange for an adult man to cry all the time.
He had also heard his elder brother say that he didn't have to endure it, and necessary emotional catharsis was needed.
He also heard the doctor analyze that tears can flush out excess adrenal cortical hormones and prolactin in the human body to relieve negative emotions and troubles.
But as soon as he returned to school, he could hear the voices accusing him.
"Always crying miserably, annoying."
"Is this what a genius is like? How weird."
"Sure enough, amazing kids will have some quirks."
"Why is he always crying? We didn't say anything..."
Shen Jize thought, crying was still wrong after all.
So he endured it, endured it for a whole month at school, and didn't cry once during that time.
This Saturday when he returned home, he just wanted to tell his brother that he hadn't cried for a month and he had grown up, but he didn't expect to come back empty-handed and couldn't help crying again.
He was still making no progress.
Thinking this way made him even more sad, and he cried for a long time again.
In recent years, Shen Jize has thought many times whether it is right or wrong for him as a man who should stand tall to cry like this, and many people have expressed different opinions to him.
But no matter what kind of idea, no one has ever told him that he cries beautifully.
Crying, isn't it just right or wrong?
How can it be described as beautiful?
Also, he is a man, he cannot be described as beautiful.
Shen Jize had a lot of words to refute, but in the end, only one sentence was left, "Beautiful?"
Shen Yue answered very quickly, "Beautiful."
After speaking, Shen Yue was about to leave with her mobile phone.
Shen Jize only then remembered that Shen Yue seemed to have taken a picture of him just now.
What was she going to do with his photo?
He plucked up the courage to stop Shen Yue and said, "My photo... are you going to send it to my brother?"
A ? slowly emerged on Shen Yue's head, which Shen Jize could feel was the degree of her confusion even without her speaking.
"I won't send it to my brother, I'll keep it." This is her learning material.
"What are you keeping it for?" Shen Jize's voice got smaller and smaller, and his face got redder and redder.
Shen Yue continued righteously and unrepentantly, "Keep it for learning."
Shen Jize: "Learning?"
"Learning how to cry as beautifully as you."
Shen Jize was speechless.
It wasn't that kind of speechless, it was true speechless.
His language system was temporarily insufficient to support him in handling such a high-level conversation.
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end here.
Shen Yue hugged her mobile phone and returned to her room to prepare to study for the first time.
And Shen Jize also wiped his tears and returned to the room to consult his brother.
He repeated the conversation with Shen Yue to Shen Yichen and sent it over, then asked earnestly and sincerely.
[Brother, how should I answer my sister in a situation like just now? Should I say thank you?]
Seeing the message, Shen Yichen: ...
These two people... He didn't know which one to teach first for a while.
Soon, Shen Jize received Shen Yichen's reply.
[If her answer made you happy, you can say thank you to her. If she is naughty again, don't indulge her.]
Shen Jize thought, maybe he should have been happy just now.
In the past, his understanding of crying only had two options, right or wrong.
Now there is another option, beautiful or not beautiful.
...
On the other hand, Shen Yue returned to her room to practice crying.
However, this was the first time she was so passionate about learning something, yet lost so thoroughly.
Without anything else, she couldn't cry.
Shen Yue tried to imagine that she had been hungry for a long time, but her full stomach prevented her from empathizing.
She tried to imagine that she would be abandoned tomorrow, but thinking that going to prison was not impossible, she still couldn't cry.
She even imagined herself unable to sleep, but almost fell asleep thinking about it.
The conclusion was that trying to cry was really difficult.
Shen Yue took out her mobile phone and was ready to search on Baidu, but found no search results, so she opened the Three Brains group.
The group was very quiet at the moment, with no one speaking.
So Shen Yue bravely asked, [How can I cry?]
Soon, someone answered her, it was Ye Yin, but the answer was irrelevant.
Ye Yin: [Why do you want to cry, what's wrong?]
Shen Yue looked at this question and typed seriously.
[In order to shed tears.]
Ye Yin: [......]
Soon, Qing Xiaoyu spoke up and shared her experience, [I always cry hard after losing to Ye Yin in an all-out competition.]
Ye Yin: [......]
Mi Qian also quickly echoed, [Yes, yes, last time when competing with Ye Yin in a contest I was also cried to anger.]
[You big man actually cried too hahaha!]
[What's wrong with crying? I'd like to see who wouldn't cry competing with Ye Yin.]
[Did the white fat guy cry or not when competing with Ye Yin yesterday?]
Bai Pangpang popped up and said, [I cried, cried miserably.]
Shen Yue looked at the chat records and suddenly realized, so this is how you can cry.
[Ye Yin I want to compete with you.]
Ye Yin: [...Are you serious?]
Shen Yue: [I'm serious.]
[...Okay.]
The quiet class group started to liven up from this moment.
