Chapter 1948 Learning To Be A Human

“I’m not asking to be successful. I just hope to do the right things and have a clear conscience.” Ye Jian held Mrs. Tong as she sat down. She smiled and said, “I remember that when I entered the school, I told you that sometimes, hiding one’s strength doesn’t mean that one is weak. Hiding one’s weakness is also a form of protection. But you said that it’s survival of the fittest.

“You also told me that ‘Provincial No.1 Middle School is a big dance that allows students to roam freely. It was because of what you said that I started to interact with my classmates.”

Mrs. Tong smiled as she looked at the student who remembered her words. The pride in her heart was self-evident.

“To tell you the truth, when I returned to school, I was prepared to be isolated. If you hadn’t asked me to get along with my classmates from time to time and join the group activities, I think I might really have been alone in high school for two years.”

She was not good at socializing or talking. Plus, with Ye Ying around, she didn’t think that her high school life would be good.

Later, as she gradually integrated into the class and was often called for a heart-to-heart talk in the office, Ye Jian’s way of handling things changed. She started to have the gentle nature of a girl. She was no longer as domineering as a boy.

The smile on Mrs. Tong’s face deepened at the mention of the past. “When I asked you to fill in the enrollment materials, the words you told me when you pointed at your parents’ made my heart ache.

“At that time, you had to protect yourself, so you had your guards up. You were even wary of your teachers. I was very surprised at that time. Why would you be so guarded? It was as if you thought your teachers would hurt you. “After that, I went to look for Principal Chen to understand your situation back in junior high school. Only then did I understand why you were wary of teachers. I knew that you needed some counseling.

“Things turned out well. The students in your class all fight for each other. Every student likes to talk to you. They even turn to you to make decisions for them. Ye Jian, you’re doing very well now. I hope that no matter what kind of life you have in the future, you’ll still be the current you.

“Continue to maintain a positive attitude. I’ll watch you go further and higher step by step. Now, I’ll be talking about adult topics. In the future, whether you enter the military or society, connections are very important.

“All the other girls in the class are from wealthy families. There are also many classmates whom you have helped before. They all have a certain level of family connections.

“Look at the venue today. Zhang Yueyan’s and Yang Yi’s families paid for it together. They did it not because of me but you. A few parents even called me to thank me. They hope that I can give them your contact information. Ye Jian, these are your valuable connections. “As long as you continue to work hard and stand at the height where others wish to befriend you, your path will become wider and wider. Even if you encounter a moment of difficulty, the people you have helped before will lend you a helping hand.

“The experience that society has given you will also give you more space on stage. All of this is due to your hard work and can’t be separated from you.”

Hearing this, Ye Jian seemed to understand something. Her clear eyes widened slightly. After a while, she said in a low voice, “Back then, you arranged for me to live with Zhang Yueyan and the rest. Were you trying to teach me how to build connections?” “It’s good that you know this. There’s no need to say it out loud. This is also the only thing that I have done with my own selfishness.” Seeing that her student finally understood her arrangements, the kind smile on Mrs. Tong’s face grew deeper.
