Chapter 380
After Xu Ya's mother went out, Wanqing closed the door and turned around to see Xu Ya's cold gaze in that instant.
"Xu Ya, we are the same age and used to be the best little girlfriends who played together. I know you may not want to see me, but I still want to come over and ask you, why? Why did you suddenly start distancing yourself from me with others? Did I offend you? " Wanqing was still trying to salvage this friendship at this moment, so she spoke very sincerely, "If that's the case, you can tell me it's my fault and I can change it too, but you suddenly started avoiding me for no reason at all. It's also very unfair to me, isn't it?"
"What's fair or unfair? It's just like you were born with a good family background, good looks and smarts. In studying, you obviously didn't work as hard as us, yet you were always the top student. Do you think this is fair?" Xu Ya retorted, "Pei Wanqing, you didn't do anything wrong. You're just too outstanding compared to us ordinary kids. It's only natural that we don't get along. Isn't it?"
Wanqing had never imagined that the reason she was being excluded was because of this.
"Xu Ya, if you think like this then you're wrong. My studies are also achieved through my own hard work. You know that my grandfather and brother give me homework every week and ask about my grades regularly, especially my grandfather who is very strict with us..."
"That's why, you see how lucky you are. Your family loves and helps you succeed in your studies, but we're different. At home, no one helps us with studying at all, they don't care at all, yet they keep comparing us with you who has so much help, making us feel that we are inherently inferior to you, overshadowed by your halo all the time." As Xu Ya spoke, she cried aggrievedly, "Pei Wanqing, do you know how annoying you are? I want to be diligent and excellent like the adults say, but I can't do it."
"Xu Ya, I can help you..."
Wanqing tried to comfort her and reached for her hand, but she ruthlessly avoided it. "I don't need your help, Pei Wanqing. I hate it when people keep comparing me to you. I admit I'm not as good as you. I just hope you can stay away from me, okay?"
Xu Ya heard the shout from outside and pushed open the door to come in, "What's going on? Xu Ya, did you have a quarrel with Wanqing? Wanqing came to play with you on purpose. Be more generous and learn from her. Don't be petty."
Xu Ya's eyes became even colder. The way she looked at Wanqing let her know that their friendship was not worth saving at all.
"Wanqing, Xu Ya has been in a bad mood these days. Please be more patient with her. Stay for dinner later. I bought meat today and will make something delicious for you, okay?"
"No, auntie, my mom made dinner at home. I should go back for dinner too. I won't bother you anymore. Bye." Wanqing left with a stiff smile on her face.
On the way, she reflected on whether it was true that everyone thought this way, because Xu Ya spoke as "we", so was this what everyone thought?
This was the first time she realized that being too outstanding could make people dislike you. She had never felt particularly outstanding herself, as there was a more remarkable older brother above her. Although sometimes it made her feel frustrated, for a period of time she did want to work hard to catch up with her brother. But later she realized her talent was limited, so she didn't force herself anymore.
Wanqing felt she did nothing wrong in this matter. Just like she envied and was jealous of her brother, but never distanced herself from him because of it. Their sibling relationship had always been great.
Maybe it was because of the blood ties between him and her brother that outsiders could not compare.
"Wanqing, what are you doing here?" Yun Yan popped up and saw Wanqing coming out of Xu Ya's house, very surprised.
"I came to see Xu Ya." Wanqing's expression was still relatively calm. Probably because she had been treated coldly for a long time, even though she had mustered up the courage, she didn't have high hopes to begin with, so naturally she wasn't too disappointed either.
"Isn't Xu Ya ignoring you? Did you make up?" Yun Yan probed.
"Yun Yan, Xu Ya said we are not the same kind of people. What do you think?" Wanqing just wanted to know if it was really what everyone thought.
"What same or different kind of people? I've never considered this. I just want you as a friend." Yun Yan asked, "Wanqing, why did you and Xu Ya suddenly talk about this? Did she say anything else to you?"
"She said a lot, but it doesn't matter to me anymore."
Yun Yan was relieved. It seemed there were still conflicts between them.
It was good they didn't reconcile, so she wouldn't be exposed.
"Wanqing, forget about Xu Ya and the others not playing with you. You still have me as a friend. Look how nice I am to you. They all ignore you, only I still want to play with you. Let's be good friends from now on, okay?" Yun Yan seemed to really like saying things like this. It wasn't the first time she had said it.
Wanqing was still indifferent. She didn't even know why herself, but the first time she met Yun Yan, she didn't like getting close to her.
Even now when her friends had betrayed her, she still didn't like her.
It was just that Yun Yan was too clingy and Wanqing didn't want to directly tell her to go away.
"Wanqing, I'm talking to you. This is wrong. Xu Ya and the others refuse to play with you, so you should reflect on your behavior."
Seeing Wanqing not answering, Yun Yan spewed more words.
Wanqing was already in a bad mood. Now she was even more irritated by her words. "Yun Yan, I don't feel I did anything wrong. They don't want to play with me because they feel I'm too outstanding and it discourages them. I don't think there's anything I need to reflect on. Also, I'm not forcing you to be my friend either. If you don't want to, you can stop playing with me like the rest of them."
"No wonder they all ignore you. I won't pay attention to you either. Wanqing, being alone will be very lonely. Do you want everyone to ignore you?"
"I still have my parents, brother and younger brothers. I have grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt and cousins. They all love me and care for me. I could never be alone."
She didn't care anymore. Even her best friend had broken up with her, so what was one more?
Moreover, Yun Yan's words were very irritating, making her feel stifled.
"You're too much. Go play with them then. I won't pay attention to you anymore, humph!" Yun Yan walked away, then turned back, "Wanqing, listen to me from now on and I'll help you get Xu Ya and the others back, okay?"
Wanqing rolled her eyes and went home.
