Start by pursuing a talented girl

"I am a left-behind child and live with my grandfather. My parents don't come back all year round. The other children often make fun of me, saying that I was born but not raised by my mother."

"This caused me to be relatively introverted and have low self-esteem at that time. I didn't dare to fight back when I was bullied."

Gu Panyan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Although my grandfather had started to teach me how to fight at that time, I had no strength but no courage to fight with them."

"Every time, I would cheer myself up in my heart and say, if those people dare to say that I was born but not raised by my mother, I will beat them up. But when I was really bullied, I still didn't have the courage to resist. .”

"Do you think I was useless at that time?" Gu Panyan suddenly asked him.

"It's human nature, it's normal." Wang Ge comforted, "Courage is never something that can be obtained so easily."

"……you're right."

Gu Panyan chuckled, "At that time, I was too timid and afraid of too many things. I was afraid of dogs, the dark, being bullied, my grades would drop, and my grandpa would be disappointed."

"What I fear most is the evil ghosts that may be lurking in the darkness. For this reason, I dare not turn off the lights every night, otherwise I will be too scared to sleep."

"In order to eliminate my fear, grandpa carved the evil spirits out of wood and then asked me to split them open with an axe."

Gu Panyan smiled silently, "When I first saw those wood carvings, I was so scared that I couldn't even hold the ax steady and almost hit my foot."

"But later I discovered that they are not scary at all. As long as I use a little force, I can split them all."

Wang Ge took the wood carvings over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this how these wood carvings came to be?"

She said "hmm" and smiled sarcastically: "The original purpose of my tattoo was not achieved at all. Although it did drive away some flies, it attracted more flies.

I got this tattoo on my body on a whim, and it helped me a lot. "

"You were most afraid of them before, so you got the tattoo on your body..." Wang Ge thought for a while and guessed: "Is it because you want others to be afraid of you?"

"Do not."

Gu Panyan shook his head and said, "It's courage."

"Courage?" Wang Ge was confused.

"Correct."

She pointed at her tattoo: "All the evil ghosts on it were carved by my grandfather and then chopped open by me one by one."

"I want to always remember that feeling, the feeling of lifting an ax for the first time, facing fear, resisting fear, and overcoming fear."

She said, "This is courage."

"When grandpa was still alive, I never had this kind of thing. Even if I was teased and spread rumors, I would still cowardly escape. This is the reason why I attracted so many flies."

She smiled mockingly again, "After my grandfather passed away and I was tortured crazy, I finally had the courage I had dreamed of."

Wang Ge didn't say anything, just hugged her gently.

"But this is not enough," Gu Panyan continued, "I began to realize that no matter what you do in this world, you need courage. It takes courage to accept my grandfather's death. It also takes courage to change your current situation."

She pointed to the evil ghost sculptures in Singer King, "So I got them tattooed on my body."

"They can't make me fearless. All they can do is make me feel fear, but still have the courage to lift an ax and resist."

“When I resist and even defeat the things that scare me, they no longer scare me.”

"Face the suffering of reality and the fear in your heart, accept what cannot be changed, and resist what should be changed."

“That’s what courage means, and it’s the most valuable thing I gained from this experience.”

She looked at Wang Ge and raised the corners of her mouth: "To be honest, I should be grateful for this experience, otherwise I would still be the timid, cowardly and inferior waste I was before."

Wang Ge hugged her gently, shook his head and said, "Suffering is never something worthy of praise. If possible, I hope you will never experience that."

"I've already gone through it, can it still be changed?"

Gu Panyan leaned lazily in his arms and lifted his chin with her fingers, "Besides, if I hadn't experienced that, would you still like me? Would you like me who is timid, cowardly and has low self-esteem?"

"Of course I will." Wang Ge said matter-of-factly, and then hummed, "This way I can turn over and be the master without getting beaten. I can let you beat me on the back and squeeze my shoulders every day, and even let you give me a hand at night." Warm the bed!”

"But I can't do it anymore." Gu Panyan looked into his eyes, "I will find you a scumbag disgusting. It's best to stay away from me."

Wang Ge: "..."

Gu Panyan looked at him, then raised her head and kissed him on the lips.

"It takes courage to accept the departure of a loved one. It takes courage to accept the brokenness of a family. It also takes courage to accept that the person I love is a scumbag, doesn't it?"

Wang Ge's body stiffened slightly.

"I can rub your back and shoulders, or I can warm your bed." Gu Panyan hugged him and whispered in his ear, "But, young master, you must hide those messy relationships of yours." Okay, don’t let me discover you."

"Accept what cannot be changed, and resist what should be changed. Grandpa passed away, and my parents were not on good terms. I have no choice. But if I find out about your messy relationships..." She blew gently in his ear. The tone is, "Do you think I will accept it, or resist it?"

Wang Ge thought for two seconds, and then said expectantly: "If possible, I would like to experience the back-slapping and shoulder-squeezing experience first."

Gu Panyan was silent for a moment, then punched him hard on the arm, "Go to hell!"

Then she stood up, glared at him, and went back to her room.

"It hurts..."

Wang Ge rubbed the place where he was beaten and smiled bitterly.

Although I had been beaten often before, it had never been this painful.

He knew that such an answer might make Gu Panyan angry, but he had no choice but how else could he answer.

When he decided to be a scumbag, he was destined to face this kind of question, no matter how he answered it, it would be wrong.

It's hard to be a scumbag.

Life is not easy, Wang Ge sighed.

There is no way, who makes him greedy and want everything.

This is something he has to bear.

……

The next day, Wang Ge rarely got up early, cooking and cleaning.

Gu Panyan looked down upon his flattering behavior, but she didn't continue to be angry with him.

In the afternoon, Gu Panyan went out to buy things, while Wang Ge sat in front of the computer to check his scores.

He first checked his own, which was seven hundred and thirty-nine, one point shy of seven hundred and four, which was a bit regretful.

But winning the provincial top prize should not be a problem.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He turned around and checked Gu Panyan's score. The score was 614, which was about the same as expected. It was not low. There would definitely be no problem getting into Changchuan University.

The moment he saw Gu Panyan's results, the system's voice rang in his ears:

PS: Courage is the most important spiritual core of the character Gu Panyan. After a long time of preparation, I finally wrote it out.

Xixi has a towering pursuit of freedom, and Yanbao naturally needs to have the courage to be deeply rooted in the ground in order to compete with him.

Don't say I'm biased anymore, I give equal love to both characters.

It's just that compared to Xixi's freedom, Yanbao's courage is more difficult to understand. After all, courage is probably a topic that everyone in middle school and high school has failed to write about. What's there to write about?

I can understand it, so I didn’t write it too in-depth. After all, it is an online novel. I am also afraid that some people will not understand or have different opinions from me and come to criticize me.

I drew on a small part of Adler's "Courage Psychology". If you are interested, you can check it out.
