Chapter 251 Lost
"Why are you saying thank you... Isn't this very normal? If you saw me being bullied like that, would you just stand by and watch?" Tie Hongyan said.
"It takes skills to help others... No matter how much I want to help you, I can't... It's good enough that I don't cause you any trouble." Wu Xunsheng lowered his head.
"Why do you say that? You didn't cause me any trouble!" Tie Hongyan looked at him.
"Is the trouble I caused you just now not enough? If it weren't for me... you wouldn't have to fight them."
"It wasn't you who caused me trouble. I went there voluntarily. You didn't ask me to go there. They were the ones who caused me trouble. They went too far!"
"But I'm the one who can't beat them."
"Even if the three of them were beating up someone else, I would stop them. It's wrong for them to hit someone like that!"
Wu Xunsheng did not respond, but kept his head down, looking at the ground.
"You...what's wrong with you?" Tie Hongyan asked.
"Nothing." Wu Xunsheng raised his head slightly and said to Tie Hongyan, "Let's go..."
The two of them walked towards the wilderness.
Along the way, Wu Xunsheng seemed to be thinking about something, still with his head half lowered and not saying a word.
Tie Hongyan sensed that he was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, so he didn't say anything and just walked quietly side by side with him. When they were still some distance away from the wilderness, Wu Xunsheng finally spoke. He asked Tie Hongyan: "Am I useless?"
"Who said that? Why are you asking?" Tie Hongyan said.
Wu Xunsheng said: "I said it myself, didn't I?"
Tie Hongyan didn't understand why he said that. After thinking for a while, he said, "Are you upset because I just said you are mine? In fact, I just said that because I want them to stop messing with you in the future. I don't mean to look down on you..."
"It's not because of that. I understand why you said that."
"why?"
Wu Xunsheng said: "Forget it... I know... Even if you really think I'm useless, you won't say it."
"Why do you think so? I never thought you were useless! Never! Please don't wrongly accuse me, okay?" Tie Hongyan felt that he was misunderstood by Wu Xunsheng and hurriedly explained.
Wu Xunsheng didn't expect Tie Hongyan to be so anxious to clarify. He looked at Tie Hongyan and found that her face showed a trace of grievance of being misunderstood, and she also found that her eyes were full of sincerity. This sincerity made his heart tremble slightly, and then he was inexplicably moved. "You really don't think I'm useless? My martial arts are so poor that I can't protect myself, and... I have been practicing very hard, but..." Wu Xunsheng wanted to say "Not only can I not protect myself, but I also implicated others", but when the words came to his lips, he subconsciously swallowed the words "implicated others" because he was too disappointed. He really didn't want to mention the matter of implicating others, even his subconscious mind was avoiding it.
Tie Hongyan had never seen Wu Xunsheng look so lost before, and said, "I really have never thought about it that way! Others don't think so, so how can you think so? The person who should not think that you are useless is yourself!"
Hearing her say this, Wu Xunsheng immediately remembered what his mother had said to him before she passed away: "You must firmly believe that you are a useful person, no matter what others say. You may meet all kinds of people on the road of life. Even if others say that you are useless, you must believe in yourself! As long as you are firm and confident enough, it will be difficult for others to defeat you."
