Chapter 380

"Is... is that so?" The blonde girl covered her mouth in surprise.

"That's absolutely right. You mustn't tell anyone about this, or it would cause them to sever their mother-son relationship."

"I would rather die than tell anyone!" the blonde girl solemnly promised.

Si Jingyu brushed the dust off the ground, plopped down next to the blonde girl, and playfully splashed her two jade-like little feet in the water. "Shouldn't you be in class at this time? Why are you here alone?"

The blonde girl lowered her head and said weakly, "They bullied me, made fun of my hair, and even scribbled all over my sketchbook with paintbrushes."

"That's great, I can't even find anyone who dares to bully me..."

The blonde girl looked conflicted and hesitant. After a long while, she finally made up her mind and said in a tone as if she were about to go to her execution, "Although I don't like doing this kind of thing, if you insist, I... I'll bully you instead."

Si Jingyu stared at the other person blankly for a long time, then burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, and even rolled around on the beach.

"Hahaha... Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, you're killing me! You're so funny!"

The blonde girl pouted and said angrily, "What's so funny about it? I'm serious."

"That's not what I meant. You misunderstood me. Besides, it's more fun to bully others than to be bullied."

The blonde girl immediately corrected her, "Bullying others is wrong."

Si Jingyu coughed and said seriously, "That's why you get bullied. If you don't want to be bullied, you have to learn how to bully others first. If you have the ability to bully others, they naturally won't dare to bully you."

"Is that so? Something just doesn't feel right?"

"That's it, listen to me, you won't go wrong! Remember, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who are bullied and those who bully others. The former have no choice but to be bullied, while the latter can choose to bully others or not. If you want to avoid being bullied, you must first become the latter kind of person. As for whether or not you bully others, that depends on your mood."

"I don't want to be bullied, nor do I want to bully others. This is my thought regardless of whether I'm in a good mood or a bad mood."

"Fine, then you'll have to become someone who can bully others first."

"How can I become like that? Can you teach me?"

"No problem, with my Sister Yu's guidance, I guarantee you'll learn it in three days. But there's no time today, I have to hurry back and wake up the master, otherwise it'll be terrible if someone finds out I'm slacking off."

Si Jingyu stood up, dusted herself off, and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "My name is Si Jingyu. What's your name?"

"Si Huaruo," the blonde girl asked nervously, "Will you come here again tomorrow?"

"I can't come tomorrow. The teacher who's going to teach me tomorrow is a shrewd bastard; it'll be hard to get him. How about the day after tomorrow? The teacher the day after tomorrow is a scatterbrain; he'll easily slip away."

"Then let's meet at the same time and place the day after tomorrow. Don't be late!"

"Okay, see you there! Pinky promise, or the dog will break it."

"I'm here! Sister Huacuo, you're here so early! Did you arrive a long time ago?"

"No, no, I just arrived too."

"It's obvious you're lying. Don't you even know how to lie? Looks like I need to give you another lesson in deception."

Lying is wrong.

"Didn't you just lie?"

"Oh, right, well... I'm sorry."

"There's no need to apologize to me. The person who was deceived was too stupid. Remember, if you don't want to be deceived, you have to learn how to deceive others first. It's the same principle as not being bullied."

"Oh, then what should I do?"

"Learn acting with me. Come on, squint your eyes, look fierce, imagine a tiger, you'll know it's going to eat people, ga-ooh--"

"Gah, gah~"

"Absolutely not! You're not a tiger, you're a kitten. You look so easy to bully. Come on, let's do some imagination training. Lie down on the ground and imagine you're a tiger, a very, very fierce tigress, quack--"

"Gah~"

"Not enough momentum! Come on, use your Dantian to unleash your power and shout it out. Once you have momentum, one glare from your eyes will scare those cowards away, and they won't dare to bully you."

"Sister Yu, I did it! They were all scared of me today. They tried to push me, but I slapped their hands away, and then without saying a word, I just stood there, glanced at them, and they didn't dare to touch me again."

"Hmm, it seems you've already mastered the art of bullying; you're ready to graduate. Next, you'll learn how to deceive."

"Lying is wrong."

"It's not lying, it's... it's acting! Yes, we're here to learn acting. Look at those actors on stage, aren't they all playing other people? But nobody ever says they're lying, right?"

"Oh, it's acting! I'll learn!"

"Sister Yu, although no one dares to bully me anymore, no one wants to be my friend either."

"Ignore them, they're just blind, they'll regret it later. Besides, when it comes to friends, if you're good enough at acting, you can make a lot of them, and you can't get rid of them even if you try."

"It is wrong to deceive your friends."

"Uh... it's not deception, it's social etiquette! Look at how adults interact; they all observe etiquette. For example, after someone introduces themselves, you have to say 'I've heard so much about you,' even if you've never heard of them before. This isn't deception, it's social etiquette, proving that you're a polite and well-mannered person. If you don't understand social etiquette, people won't want to be your friend."

"Oh, I see. No wonder I've never been able to make friends. Sister Yu, could you teach me social etiquette?"
